Wen Li returned to the restaurant from the yard. Li Langhua was already dining at the table. She always had three meals, and she paid special attention to breakfast.
This morning at the Li family's breakfast, only the old lady and she were sitting at the table.
Li Yuanzhi has been at the company these two days. As the New Year is approaching, Li has a lot of things to be busy with, and it is impossible to stay at home all the time.
As for Li Ruobing, he didn't come back for three consecutive days because he had to guard the patient in the medicine hall.
The Li family has been quite deserted these days. Li Li hid in his room and did not go out. Even Wen Li only came back yesterday morning.
"Li Li is willing to come over for dinner?" Li Langhua glanced at Wen Li.
Li Li's movement of running out just now was too fast. She had already rushed out before she had time to say anything.
"I don't know." Wen Li replied.
"The second lady may have seen someone familiar. I just took a look on the balcony and it seemed like someone was coming." Rachel said, passing the porridge and placing it in front of Wen Li.
She didn't even see clearly what the person who got out of the car looked like.
The Li family is accustomed to drinking salty porridge for breakfast, such as preserved egg and lean meat porridge, shredded chicken porridge, etc. This has been fixed for so many years.
However, Wen Li's eating habits are different from theirs.
She was only used to drinking porridge that was sweet, and she was used to eating spicy food for dinner and lunch.
In order to take care of her habit, Rachel watched the kitchen cook it in two pots every time, and also specially found a chef who was very good at cooking spicy dishes.
"This time it's brown sugar and wolfberry. Girls always keep warm in winter. How would you like it, Miss Wen Li?" Rachel asked.
The porridge in the white porcelain bowl is thick in color, and the aroma and sweetness are well balanced.
The chefs at Lai's never disappoint.
"Very good." Wen Li praised.
"That's good." Rachel smiled and nodded.
Since Miss Wen Li likes this taste, she can also make it according to this taste in the future.
Fortunately, Wen Li's food preferences are not difficult to guess, and she is not picky about porridge and breakfast. She would prefer if the main meal was spicy.
After living in the Li family for this period of time, Rachel has figured it out and can take good care of Wen Li as much as possible.
Li Li looked unhappy when he came in, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Wen Li.
A pair of eyes stared at Wen Li, and he picked up the chopsticks angrily.
Li Langhua took a bite of the soup dumpling and looked at his granddaughter.
In the past, this little girl always looked at Wen Li with admiration on her face. Why does she look so wrong today
"Second Miss, try it. This is your favorite preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
Rachel happily brought her porridge. Fortunately, the little girl went downstairs to eat.
After holding it in her room for the past three days, Rachel was afraid that she would be suffocated.
The child who used to get into trouble anytime and anywhere suddenly shivered and hid in the room. Not to mention her, even the old lady was worried about her for three days.
Li Langhua even asked Li Ruobing and the family doctor to conduct a detailed examination on her, for fear that they might not find any wounds that day.
"There will be your favorite xiaolongbao soon." Rachel coaxed her to be happy.
Li Li looked at what was in his own bowl, then looked at what was in Wen Li's bowl.
"I want that from her."
Li Langhua raised his eyebrows and looked at her silently.
"That one you don't like is sweet. Miss Wen Li likes to drink sweet porridge." Rachel explained to her patiently.
"I want that." Li Li stood firm.
The person she likes the most has shown her kindness to Wen Li, so she can't also try the porridge that Wen Li likes.
What is the truth
Seeing her appearance, Rachel could only go over and give it to her. Anyway, if she didn't like it, she could just change it later.
Wen Li took a small sip and soon the bowl of porridge was almost empty.
Xia Chen was already waiting at the door. He was going to Gu's Medicine Hall this morning to check on the patients.
In addition, I need to go over to see how the investigation on Su Jingjing's side is progressing.
Rachel filled half a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Li Li, "Be careful because it's hot."
Li Li took the spoon and looked at Wen Li. The soft, fragrant and glutinous porridge entered his mouth. Li Li frowned. Sure enough, the taste could not be changed casually.
She doesn't like the taste.
"Are you not used to eating it?" Rachel was serving preserved egg and lean meat porridge to her next to her, planning to change it for her.
"What does this smell like..."
Li Li covered her mouth and looked at her speechlessly.
"Changed it for you."
"Eat." Wen Li, who had been silent on the other side, suddenly spoke.
Li Li pursed her lips and looked at the person opposite angrily.
Wen Li drank the last mouthful of porridge in his bowl, put down the empty bowl and looked directly at the person opposite, tapping his index finger on the table.
"That's the choice you made, and you have to bear the consequences."
Li Li held the spoon and looked at Wen Li, "But I don't like the taste, why can't I try it?"
"Not everything can be tried by you. Someone has already reminded you. Rachel is the person who knows you best. Of course she knows what you can eat and what you can't. Since you turn a deaf ear to other people's reminders, it doesn't matter. It’s time to take responsibility for your choices.”
She couldn't refute what she said.
Li Li gritted his teeth and moved the spoon, angrily eating the porridge in the bowl.
Rachel smiled and looked at the old lady. Unlike them, Wen Li did not treat Li Li blindly with love.
Li Li would obey her words even if he had objections.
They were obviously children born on the same day, but Wen Li had an aura of calmness and dignity.
"I'm full, please take your time." Wen Li pulled out his chair and stood up.
"Wen Li, please wait for me in the study. I have something to tell you." Li Langhua suddenly spoke.
After all, he was not in a hurry now. Wen Li nodded and went to Li Langhua's study on the first floor.
As soon as she saw Wen Li leaving, Rachel put the porridge over and said, "Second Miss, let's eat this, don't wrong yourself."
Li Li vomited the porridge in one gulp and pushed the half-eaten porridge away in disgust.
"Eat this, and I'll get you a glass of water." Rachel felt a little distressed when she saw the aggrieved look on her face.
Growing up, in order to take care of Li Li's taste, I don't know how many chefs were changed in the family.
The servant who was cleaning the dishes on the side put away Wen Li's tableware. From soy milk to soup dumplings to bowls for porridge, Miss Wen Li would not have anything left over every time she ate.
Apart from the change in taste, I have never seen any picky eaters. This is completely different from the second lady, whose picky eating has reached the point where people and gods are outraged.
She wouldn't touch anything she didn't like, so Miss Wen Li was probably the only one who could suppress her.
"Have a good breakfast and stop making trouble." Li Langhua said these words before leaving.
Rachel made a pot of scented tea and ordered the servant to take it to the study, while she took care of Li Li at the dining table.
In the study room, Li Langhua and Wen Li sat face to face.
Taking comfort into consideration, the entire sofa is covered with fluffy woven blankets, making it very soft and comfortable for people to sit on.
"Take a look at these documents and sign them if you think they are OK."
Li Langhua took a thick stack of documents and handed them over. The top one had a few large characters written on it: Equity Transfer Document.
"Don't get me wrong, I transferred some of the Li family's equity to Lili's name a few years ago. In addition to the equity transfer documents, these also include real estate, shops and so on."
Wen Li glanced at the thick documents and remained unmoved.
"Why are you giving me these for no reason?"
Li Langhua said with a smile on his face, "I have owed you these years, and I know you don't lack these, but you can also have these things. You like freedom, and the properties I have purchased throughout the entire continent are here, in all countries There are also everything, no matter where you go, you can always find a place to stay.”
The Li family has accumulated wealth from generation to generation, including more than ten gold and silver mines, not to mention other industries.
It is indeed as rich as any country. No wonder there are rumors in Intercontinental that the combined wealth of the four major families in the imperial capital is the share of the entire Intercontinental.
"I don't need these." Wen Li refused.
Li Langhua had already guessed this result, and Wen Li could handle it better than anyone else. The Li family had not raised her in these years.
Therefore, she could watch the turmoil in the imperial capital with cold eyes. No matter how the Li family changed in the later period, it had nothing to do with her as an outsider.
But once she takes these things, it means pushing herself into the dye vat, and then everything in the Li family will be closely related to her.
Everyone can calculate this account clearly.
"I know you don't lack these. You and Lili are both my granddaughters. I couldn't take good care of you in the past. I hope that you and Lili can get the same things in the future."
Wen Li's eyes fell on Li Langhua's face, and she was sincere when she said this.
"You have found a supporter like the Yun family for Li Li. What will happen in the future is her own business."
Li Langhua sighed, this child is really smarter than anyone else.
After only staying in the Li family for such a short time, she could see many things clearly.
"Li Li has been spoiled by me over the years. She has indulged in many things and developed her temperament today. When her marriage to the Yun family is finalized after the year, I can safely give her the position of head of the family. But I can see that the only thing this kid will listen to is your words.”
The beloved son of his parents must have far-reaching plans. Li Langhua made the decision to give the position of head of the family to Li Li, and he must pave the way forward for her.
"Since you know she's not suitable, why can't you choose another one?" Wen Li looked at her.
Li Langhua smiled bitterly, "The rules of the Li family cannot be broken. I have already broken them once."
Wen Li turned the tea cup with his fingertips, looked at the chrysanthemums floating in the crystal cup, and smiled softly.
"I had to bring her back back then. I had to be responsible for her life, and I had to give her the best. Grandma knows that nothing I say will make you feel emotional. I just want to beg you. , if Lili encounters any difficulties in the future, you can reach out and give her a hand."
The golden chrysanthemums soaked in the cup slowly opened in the water, seeming to have returned to their bright blooming state in late autumn.
"She is not suitable. The entire Li family will not be unable to find someone who can take on this important responsibility."
Li Langhua lowered his head with a smile, his eyes suddenly filled with desolation, "You have been at Li's house for such a long time, grandma believes that you know some things."
Li Li may be a little willful and arrogant, but people will always grow.
Besides, with Yun Xiao supporting her and Wen Li around, she could hand over everything with peace of mind.
"Do you want to leave this mess to me?" Wen Li put down his cup and stood up, "Pinning your hopes on others is always the stupidest idea."
Wen Li came out of the study, and Li Langhua looked at the documents that she hadn't even opened.
Back then, she hoped to marry a good husband and support her in inheriting the Li family business, but she chose Wen Yanxing, who was obsessed with scientific research.
Against her father's wishes, just because she believed in that man and she loved him.
But after her father's death, she inherited the position of head of the family. Many people in the huge Li family were eyeing her, and her husband did play a certain role.
A man who is naturally smart has his own talents in every aspect.
She originally thought that the road could go on like this forever, and that their family could go on like this happily.
But in the end, Wen Yanxing left, leaving her alone to support the entire Li family.
In her life, she had never regretted loving that man, but the only thing she regretted was that she failed to obey her father's wishes and choose a husband who could support the Li family.
No matter what, her granddaughter must not repeat the same mistakes.
"Ahem..." Li Langhua lowered his head and looked at the blood streaks coughed up in his palms.
Her health is getting worse and worse.
Before leaving, everything about Li Li must be arranged.
"old lady!"
Rachel, who pushed the door open and saw Li Langhua falling on the ground, hurriedly closed the door and ran over.
"What's wrong with you?" Rachel hurriedly helped her sit up.
"I'm fine. Maybe I've been a little angry recently."
Rachel worriedly handed her a tissue. Li Langhua's body would be checked regularly and he had been well maintained over the years.
Why can I suddenly cough up blood
"Did Miss Wen Li say something to you?" Rachel asked.
The old lady was so anxious that she coughed up blood. What did Miss Wen Li say
"No, the child didn't say anything." Li Langhua sat to calm down.
"Should I ask the family doctor to come and take a look, or should I wait until the eldest lady comes back?"
Wen Li, who went out just now, is a famous medicine god. Li Langhua's minor illness and pain must be fine.
"I'm fine. Don't be so nervous. It wasn't always like this before." The old lady rejected her proposal.
"By the way, Master Yunxiao is here. The second lady said she wanted to go out with him."
Li Langhua glanced at Rachel, a little surprised, "Are you going out alone with Yun Xiao?"
Rachel nodded, feeling like she was seeing the sun through the clouds, "I guess the second lady has figured it out and has already gone upstairs to change clothes."
Li Li felt like he was avoiding Yun Xiao ever since he proposed that the two families want to get married.
Today I actually agreed to go out with Yun Xiao.
"Just figure it out." Li Langhua breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can have a good rest. When we get engaged after the new year, everything will be settled."
The old lady has been thinking about it for so long, and it is finally coming to fruition.
Something is going to happen to the Li family.
