"So that's how it is." A lady who was on good terms with Mrs. Tang understood clearly, "Grandma Tang is not in good health, Mengying is just being filial and doesn't want to disappoint her."
Tang Mengying lowered her head with some guilt, turned around and bowed sincerely: "I'm sorry, I didn't explain it in time, but I didn't mean it. I was going to explain it to you later. Who knew Qianci would... take it so seriously..."
"That's right. You're really petty for harping on such a small matter!" Mrs. Tang took over the conversation. "The Su family didn't teach you well. You're just an illegitimate daughter of the Su family. I don't know what Mr. Li is thinking."
In her opinion, Tang Mengying is the one who should marry into the Li family!
Mrs. Li looked unhappy. After all, she was her own daughter-in-law. No matter how much she disliked her, being scolded by others was like a step on her face.
"It seems my niece-in-law really wants to know what I think." An old voice interrupted, full of energy.
Everyone was startled and turned to look.
"Mr. Li."
"Chief Li."
"dad… "
…
The person who came in was an old man who was already in his sixties, but he was still strong and had a straight back. His every move revealed the heroic demeanor of a border guard.
This is one of the people Su Qianci respects the most, the head of the Li family, and currently the person with the highest status in the Li family, the old leader Li Xun.
As soon as she saw the person coming, Su Qianci couldn't help but straighten her back. This was due to years of inertia.
Little did she know that her habitual movements were seen by Li Sicheng, making his eyes, already as deep as a night pool, even darker.
When Mrs. Tang heard the voice of Chief Li, her slightly plump face turned pale. She immediately felt embarrassed and quickly explained, "No, Mr. Li, I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously. How would I know what you think?"
Su Qianci sneered in her heart.
When facing her just now, he was so arrogant that his tail was about to stick up, but when facing grandpa, he was so timid. The difference is really huge!
"With just such a casual remark, you have managed to make the granddaughter-in-law whom I personally chose sound completely useless. If someone doesn't know, they would think that you have come to my Li family to declare war on me, Li Xun." His voice was neither light nor heavy, but full of majesty.
Mrs. Tang was so frightened by the compliment she received. When she was about to explain, she was held down by a pair of hands.
Tang Mengying held her mother's hand, but looked at the old leader Li in front of her and said, "Grandpa Li, long time no see."
Old Chief Li glanced at her, hummed, and then set his eyes on Su Qianci. A happy smile suddenly appeared on his old face, and he waved at her: "Qianqian, come here, grandpa."
Thousands of...
It has been a long time since I heard such a nickname. Ever since she was framed as an arsonist by Tang Mengying, my grandfather has never called her like this.
At least... it's been two years!
Su Qianci's eyes warmed slightly, she walked up to him, stood beside him obediently, and called out, "Grandpa."
"Good boy," Old Master Li smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were folded, and he was so kind and gentle that it was hard to associate him with the majestic old leader just now. "Did you sleep well? Are you used to living in the old house?"
Su Qianci nodded obediently, as docile as a kitten.
