In this duel with Zhang Ling, Li Xi finally achieved a staged victory.
However, she didn't have time to be happy yet.
"Zhang Ling, wait a moment".
She felt an inexplicable feeling of panic.
It seemed as if something bad was about to happen to her.
So she decided to take a preemptive strike and quickly approached the old patriarch, trying to fan the flames and said:
"Grandpa, look! Sister-in-law, they don't take you seriously either? You didn't even allow them to leave. How dare they..."
The old patriarch didn't wait for Li Xi to finish speaking.
For the first time, he raised his hand and slapped Li Xi hard on the face.
Li Xi quickly raised his hand and stroked his numb cheek.
She looked at the old patriarch in confusion at first.
When Li Xi realized that she had indeed been beaten by her grandfather, the patriarch who had always loved her.
Then the tears in his eyes kept spinning.
A resentful and unbelievable "Hit me".
Tears rushed down my cheeks like a river whose dam had burst.
Along with the constant crying, he asked, "You actually hit me?"
The old patriarch's heart was carved with deep marks like a knife and an axe.
As bright red blood seeped out from the scar.
The bursts of pain made the old patriarch's hands tremble.
Everyone present, who didn't know anything, thought that Li Xi's nonsense really made the old patriarch angry.
But in fact, the old patriarch only regretted his actions as a last resort.
A seemingly righteous voice sounded in the old patriarch's ears.
No regrets!
This is all to make Li Xi's life easier for you a hundred years from now.
Li Xi's nonsense will definitely disrupt your overall plan.
right!
You're right!
The old patriarch agreed with the voice.
Instantly sweep away the negative emotions lingering in your mind.
His heart, which was originally covered in scars and bleeding, suddenly solidified like a scar welded on.
Even his soft heart is as hard as a piece of bluestone.
The old patriarch showed no expression on his face and completely ignored Li Xi's questions and nonsense.
With a look, the old housekeeper asked someone to pull Li Xi completely away from the dinner table.
No matter how much Li Xi shouted, he was indifferent.
Until Li Xi's shouting could no longer be heard.
Only then did a smile appear on the face of the old patriarch, he walked to Zhang Ling and said politely:
"Zhang Ling, I'm so sorry! I did not serve you well just now. Let Li Xi, an unscrupulous descendant, disturb your mood for dinner..."
The old patriarch's words almost made Li Xiang's jaw drop in shock.
Because according to the real Li Xiang's introduction and Li Xiang's personal contact, we found that the old patriarch generally never admits his mistakes easily.
Even if you do something wrong that everyone can see at a glance.
The old patriarch would never admit his mistake verbally.
But afterwards I will definitely do something to make up for it by admitting my mistake.
For example, after accidentally getting Li Xi's mother pregnant.
The old patriarch was fully aware of the absurdity and ridiculousness of his behavior.
If the news spreads, it will definitely make the Li family become the biggest laughing stock in Wu Chuan.
So in order to completely silence my daughter-in-law.
The old patriarch took the initiative to express to his daughter-in-law that he would make corresponding compensation.
The daughter-in-law, who originally came from a poor family, compromised so easily because she was afraid of trouble.
When the old patriarch secretly helped Li Xi's mother's family solve various problems in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Li Xi's mother even smiled happily.
Originally, she and her husband got together because of free love.
The father-in-law of the old patriarch disliked her for being unable to be the best supporter in his son's career.
So she has always made things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
Li Xi's mother now tasted the sweetness given by the old patriarch.
Her ambition also began to gradually expand.
As a result, she gradually developed a dislike for her husband.
She has always supported Li Xi's father unconditionally.
Gradually, the originally peaceful and happy home became noisy.
She was the one who started the trouble every time.
She despises her husband for not being capable of becoming the next patriarch of the Li family.
…
later.
The old patriarch because of Li Xi's mother's outstanding talent in accounting.
Against all odds, Li Xi's mother became the financial director of the Li Group.
This status far exceeds that of Li Xi's nominal father.
From then on, Li Xi's nominal father had no family status at home.
Because Li Xi was raised by the old patriarch by his side from the moment he was born.
Even if his father wanted to take a look at his daughter.
I must want to ask the old patriarch for his wishes.
Therefore, Li Xi's nominal father's family status is as miserable as that of a male nanny.
For example, every day I have to work hard to prepare breakfast for Li Xi and her daughter.
And Li Xi, mother and daughter, never take more than three bites.
Whenever Li Xi's father failed to cook a meal.
Both mother and daughter Li Xi will be passionate and perform a wonderful and unforgettable Hedong Lion's Roar for Li Xi's father.
Then……
never mind!
Because Li Xi's father was too miserable.
It's really hard to describe in detail.
In order for this chapter to be presented smoothly, there will be no more twists and turns.
A thousand words have been strategically omitted here.
when!
Zhang Ling saw the old patriarch angrily taking Li Xi away from the dinner table.
This can be regarded as an action to prove the importance of her being here today.
Although it didn't make her cry with gratitude.
But it was enough to make her feel comfortable at this time.
Zhang Ling took the opportunity to look at the helper she had rescued.
He was bowing to her with a grateful face.
However, in order not to cause unnecessary karma, she did not make any response to this.
Because Zhang Ling felt that she was just defending her dignity.
Standing up for the helper is just incidental.
She hasn't woken up from this incident yet.
She also heard that an elder, the old patriarch, took the initiative to admit his mistake to a junior like her.
As always, he explained that Li Xi was still a naive child.
The child did something wrong.
As an elder, he is willing to sincerely apologize for Li Xi.
Let’s not discuss whether it was right or wrong for the old patriarch to admit his mistake.
Simply speaking about this matter.
Seeing the old patriarch really bending down for Li Xi.
I'm afraid any conscientious junior will be moved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Immediately, a trace of absolute favorable impression of the old patriarch emerged in her heart.
I feel that everything the elders in the world do is for their children.
But why do juniors like Li Xi never grow up?
A big tree cannot grow under a big tree.
The old patriarch lived a lifetime.
It cannot be said that he does not understand this principle.
It's just that the elders of the clan came and the girl was reluctant to let go.
That’s right!
It is said that a daughter is her father's little sweetheart.
The old patriarch had seven or eight children.
I have always been looking forward to having a daughter.
It's a pity that the old patriarch's wife's belly just doesn't live up to expectations.
Not only did she not give him a daughter.
And he also made his body so that he could no longer have children.
This would have become the old patriarch's biggest regret in his life.
He never expected that the old patriarch would have a great turning point in his life.
He was honored to have a daughter.
Although I can't blatantly recognize this daughter.
But as a grandfather, being kind to his daughter unconditionally became the greatest happiness in his later life.
It was precisely because she didn’t know that she said with a somewhat embarrassed smile:
"Grandpa Patriarch, you have already said this. If I still care about you, then I, Zhang Ling, will be no different from a child."
After hearing this, the old patriarch nodded with satisfaction, looked at Li Xiang and praised:
"Li Xiang has found a good wife. He has also found a good sister-in-law for Li Xi. This is really the greatest blessing for our Li family..."
This face-to-face compliment made Zhang Ling feel like she was in a sauna.
His whole body was wrapped in scorching warmth.
It made her feel dizzy and wanted to fall asleep right away.
fortunately!
A sudden burst of cool breeze brought her back to consciousness again.
She immediately stopped smiling and said:
"Grandpa, the patriarch, spoke sternly. I just did what a junior should do."
After hearing this, the old patriarch was even more happy and said loudly:
"Not bad, not bad! This noble character alone is enough for Li Xi to learn from for a lifetime..."
Zhang Ling listened as the old patriarch belittled Li Xi and praised her fiercely.
She thought with some pride:
What if these words were heard by Li Xi.
This kid Li Xi will definitely explode on the spot again.
However, what Zhang Ling didn't know was that Li Xi had actually learned all of this.
Although Li Xi was led out of the restaurant by the old housekeeper.
But there is a hidden camera installed by Li Xi in the restaurant.
At the moment, she is sitting in front of the computer as if watching a reality show.
However, what caught Li Xi off guard was that she was so unbearable in the eyes of the old patriarch.
If Li Xi had not reminded her, she would have to continue to understand the next situation.
Li Xi was so impulsive that he smashed the computer.
This also fully shows that Li Xi still has the talent to be a Dou.
Like Adou, he is willing to listen to the advice of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
certainly!
Li Xi's brain trust cannot be compared with Zhuge Liang's.
In Li Xiang's opinion, the old patriarch's performance today was.
It's exactly like the scene of being taken away from someone in a novel, movie or TV show.
Abnormally in order to reflect Zhang Ling’s VIP status.
Ling slapped Li Xi in the face.
Who is Li Xi?
Li thought clearly about how long ago.
That is the only and most beloved princess in the Li family.
The old patriarch unexpectedly showed a very angry look and forced Li Xiqing out of the restaurant.
This was never allowed before.
The old patriarch was afraid that Li Xi would be wronged because of hunger.
Now I even heard the old patriarch’s disparaging words about Li Xi.
Just to prove to Zhang Ling that she is a distinguished guest in this family at this moment.
If it weren't for Li Xiang being a staunch science and technology worker.
He really seriously suspected that the old patriarch must have been taken away from his body.
certainly!
Li Xiang is more willing to believe that the old patriarch's next conspiracy against Zhang Ling is anything but ordinary.
That's why now I feel sorry for myself and Li Xi's efforts to please Zhang Ling.
Think of this.
Li Xiang quickly prepared to remind Zhang Ling in his ear.
Obviously, his worries seemed to be somewhat unnecessary.
I saw that Zhang Ling did not obey the old patriarch's wishes and immediately returned to the dining table.
Instead, he took the opportunity to ask the old patriarch again the questions that the old patriarch had avoided answering before.
I emphasized again that the old patriarch would have to explain the purpose of inviting her to dinner today.
Then she can even forgive Li Xi's rude behavior.
But I definitely have no interest in going back to the dining table to eat.
It was even more clear that she made this decision because of Li Xi.
Zhang Ling's well-founded questioning made the old patriarch fall into deep thought for a short time.
I feel that now is definitely not the best time to express my purpose.
If not stated.
Zhang Ling will definitely leave angrily.
In addition, the matter has reached an imminent time.
It may be impossible to find another opportunity as good as today.
…
Zhang Ling saw that the old patriarch was silent for a long time.
She wanted to force the old patriarch to make a decision as soon as possible.
He winked at Li Xiang again, joined hands and pretended to leave.
The old patriarch looked at the backs of the two young men getting further and further away.
Finally, he compromised and said, "Wait a minute."
And when the two of them turned around, they expressed their willingness to reveal their purpose now.
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Zhang Ling turned around again and looked at the old patriarch and said:
"Say it. I'm listening."
The old patriarch tried to invite again and said:
"Zhang Ling, since I have promised to tell you the purpose of inviting you today, I will definitely keep my promise and tell you."
Zhang Ling said calmly:
"Well, tell me!"
The old patriarch continued to express his intention and said:
"Look! You and I are standing like this now. It doesn't look like we are talking about something. Otherwise..."
Zhang Ling didn't wait for the old patriarch to finish speaking.
She looked very disappointed.
I don't want to listen any more.
Pulling Li Xiang again, he turned around and prepared to leave.
The old patriarch saw Zhang Ling's determined look.
This time, before Zhang Ling could turn around and look at him, she completely compromised and said:
"I said, I'll tell you right now, it's actually a few elders in the family who think it's time to hold a grand wedding for you and your wife."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Ling was a little confused and immediately asked:
"Is it necessary to cover up this kind of thing from the beginning? Even Li Xiang doesn't know the purpose of this family dinner."
She felt it was completely unnecessary.
It is normal for an elder, the patriarch, to mention this kind of thing in front of the younger generation.
So such an abnormal behavior can only mean that the old patriarch has not told the truth.
Li Xiang said "Yeah" twice in agreement.
Zhang Ling then said with a somewhat impatient feeling:
"Besides, it's not up to me to decide whether we should have a wedding or not. Li missed him..."
She wanted to express whether Li wanted to propose.
Could it be that she should imitate Shangguan Aoxue and force Li Xiang to marry her?
She is not Shangguan Aoxue.
She couldn't do what Shangguan Aoxue did.
However, the tone in which she just said these words was full of impatience.
It felt like I was asking Li Xiang why he didn't propose earlier.
As she spoke, she felt something was wrong.
So I couldn't continue talking.
Her face felt like it was being roasted by a fire, creating an irresistible feeling of heat.
But this feeling of heat is mixed with a sense of embarrassment.
In Li Xiang's eyes, Zhang Ling looks like a shy and cute girl.
This caused Li Xiang to fall into a brief state of intoxication.
The old patriarch saw that the atmosphere in front of him was quite good.
So he looked at Li Xiang with a somewhat puzzling look and explained to Zhang Ling:
"That's not right! Why did I hear rumors that you were dissatisfied with Li Xiang in some way? You actually took the initiative to break up with Li Xiang."
"Rumor!"
Zhang Ling could tell from the reaction of the old patriarch.
First, I suspected Li Xiang.
So she glanced at Li Xiang with some displeasure and then asked:
"I wonder where the patriarch heard such rumors?"
I doubt Li Xiang.
It was because she felt that the breakup should be known to no one except the person involved.
She, Zhang Ling, has never told anyone.
Then the only thing Li wanted to do was to speak out.
Li Xiang felt the strange look in Zhang Ling's eyes.
So he quickly shook his head slightly with an aggrieved look on his face.
