Chapter 426 - Hasn’t Gotten Her
At night, everyone in the Li family gathered in the living room. They looked very harmonious on the surface, but they were actually very nervous. After all, the old madam suddenly returned, so something must’ve happened.
Li Jin asked first, “Mom, should we leave?”
Old Madam Li replied after some silence, “Yes, go.”
Madam Li said, “Mom, although it’s nice over there, we’re worried about you being alone. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have left and come over here.”
Old Madam Li smiled, “Mom knows you’re very filial, but I’m already used to it.”
“Grandma, what’s the matter?” Li Yan asked. “We’re all here; can’t you tell us?”
She was a little annoyed. “It’s nothing serious; I just heard Li Yu’s dating someone. I wanted to see who it was. In the end, he hasn’t even gotten her yet! How infuriating.”
Li Sheng spoke up, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I think Uncle and Miss Jiang will be together sooner or later.”
She looked at him and said, “Instead of worrying about others, what about you? Do you have a girlfriend now?”
Li Sheng was a little embarrassed. If he said he hasn’t had enough fun being single, wouldn’t she scold him to death?
“As a man, I should prioritize my career,” he replied after thinking for a moment.
Old Madam Li was very pleased. Although this little grandson was like a child who wouldn’t grow up, it was a good thing he had begun paying attention to his career.
She looked at Li Yan and asked, “Do you have a partner?”
“Grandma, I remember that your birthday is coming soon,” Li Yan quickly changed the topic.
She nodded and said, “Counting the days, it’s really… Ah, no— Li Yan, don’t change the topic and answer my question.”
“Grandma, what do you think of Jiang Ling’er?” Li Yan thought for a moment and asked.
She was a little nervous now. Did Li Yan regret things?
“She’s quite nice,” she replied doubtfully.
Li Yan lightly replied, “I can even cancel my engagement with such a good woman; what makes you think I need women right now?”
Hearing this, Old Madam Li sighed in relief.
“Speaking of which, I have to ask all of you. Why didn’t anyone inform me about such a big thing?” she pretended to be angry.
“I’m mainly afraid you’d be worried over it.” said Old Master Li.
“Alright, this matter is over. Let’s not talk about it anymore,” he sighed.
Old Madam Li ignored him, looking at Li Jin instead.
She asked, “What exactly happened? Tell me briefly.”
“Ah Yu didn’t tell you anything?” Li Jin asked awkwardly.
She angrily replied, “If Ah Yu told me, would I have asked you? Don’t play dumb with me!”
The children were all grown up and had their own ideas. What was there to be afraid of?
Li Sheng knew that his father was speechless now.
He said, “Grandma, let me tell you; my father doesn’t know much about Brother and Jiang Ling’er.”
“Alright, then you tell me.” Old Madam Li nodded.
“Apparently, Brother slept with a hostess,” he said after thinking for a moment.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
On the other hand, Old Madam Li looked at everyone in disbelief.
“What?!” she exclaimed. “Are you saying Li Yan pushed Ling’er aside for a prostitute?”
Li Sheng replied, “Simply put, yes.”
Madam Li immediately said, “Mom, don’t be angry. Li Yan was a victim of that bad woman and Jiang Jun’s scheme; now that he knows the truth, he has realized his mistake and repented. He doesn’t want that woman anymore.” “Jiang Jun?” Old Madam Li asked doubtfully. “Isn’t he the Jiang family’s eldest young master?”
Madam Li nodded and replied, “Yes, but he’s not blood-related to the Jiangs. They chased him out because he framed Jiang Ling’er many times. Later, he returned and caused more trouble, but he’s already in prison now.”
Old Madam Li nodded and looked at Li Yan.
She asked, “Li Yan, do you regret breaking off your engagement?”
Li Yan felt terrible as well. He indeed regretted his decision, but seeing Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu so happy together every day, he didn’t have the courage to snatch her away.
Moreover, he also knew that even if he went to look for her, he’d be asking for humiliation. This was because he could clearly tell she didn’t like him anymore. He couldn’t blame anyone for this..
