Every dish on the table is full of color, fragrance and taste, which makes people move their index fingers when they look at it.
It's a pity that at this moment, Li Xiao is the one who is really in the mood to eat.
She just came back when she had nothing to do, just in time for dinner. So she ate happily.
Zhan Jiayin silently pawed at the handful of rice grains in the bowl—as a female star, in order to maintain her figure, she usually eats very little starchy food, and each meal is at most one bite of rice. She looked up at Li Nanjue resentfully from time to time.
In the past few days, Nan Jue never said a word to her, and had a cold war with her. Even the reason why he was willing to stay and have dinner with her tonight was because of his daughter Mayfair. Thinking of the current cold atmosphere at home, Zhan Jiayin felt as if she was about to suffocate.
She felt very wronged, obviously she had explained it to Nan Jue, why didn't he trust her? Obviously, he himself often missed Xu Manqin these days, and tried his best to make up for Li Xiao.
The more she thought about it, the more pitiful she felt, and the original guilt gradually disappeared, replaced by dissatisfaction and complaints towards Li Nanjue.
Li Qianfei felt so distressed when she saw her mother's teary eyes.
"Dad, did you secretly bully mom while I was away?" She complained in a coquettish tone, which is always Li Qianfei's best way. Even though he knew she was taking eye drops, he couldn't bear to blame her.
Li Nanjue said calmly, "What your mother has done, she knows exactly what she has done."
In the past few days, whenever he went out, he was looked at with sympathy. Everyone knew that he was cuckolded by Ren Xitang, who comforted him on the surface, but how many people laughed at him in private that he couldn't even control his wife. Especially when such a thing happened within a year of marriage, many people even laughed at him for being blind.
Li Nanjue's self-esteem as a man was punctured time and time again. Under such conditions, it's strange that he could forgive Zhan Jiayin so easily. However, Zhan Jiayin also looked aggrieved and hurt by his ruthlessness these few days, and she was no longer gentle and considerate as before.
Coupled with the comparison with his infatuated ex-wife... Li Nanjue's dissatisfaction with Zhan Jiayin began to take root in his heart. Although Manqin acted viciously, she did it because she loved him too much.
Of these two, one feels that he has been wronged so he is not reconciled, and the other finds that the other party does not love him that much, so he has a grudge. As a result, the couple who used to show off their affection in the past have shown a state of indifference in the past few days.
Li Qianfei gritted her teeth: Dad gave Li Xiao 10% of the shares, so why not let mom be angry? She was very happy when she learned from her mother that her father was going to give her and her elder brother 5% of the shares, and felt that they were indeed the most beloved children of her father. As a result, he knew the news as soon as he returned to China, and his face was swollen directly.
Until now, she still thinks that her parents lost their temper because of their property.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Li Xiao with a faint smile on her lips, almost clenched her chopsticks tightly.
Li Xiao successfully provoked the relationship between her parents, she must be very proud now, right
If it wasn't for protecting her image in front of her father, Li Qianfei might have exploded long ago.
Zhan Jiayin didn't want her precious daughter to anger Li Nanjue just to complain to her, so she quickly said, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about the script just now, I was too involved in the play, I just couldn't get out of the play, it has nothing to do with your father."
She found herself a step down.
What she said sounded reasonable, but it stabbed Li Nanjue's heart again. Zhan Jiayin's new play happened to play a pair of unquestionable couples with Ren Xitang. When she said that she couldn't make a play, didn't she mean that she was still immersed in that drama and loved Ren Xitang deeply
As a result, his face turned dark, and the cold air from his body blew out for nothing. Anyone could see that he was in a very bad mood.
Li Qianfei was even angrier when she saw her begging for perfection. Dad really changed... I don't know what Li Xiao did, but in just a short period of time, the father who loved them before changed into a different person.
No, if this continues, what if Dad loses his head and leaves all his property to Li Xiao? Their brother and sister have been wronged for so many years, do they have to look up to Li Xiao in the future
Li Qianfei suddenly had an idea. She can totally remind grandma. Grandma loves their brothers and sisters the most. If she knew about this, she would definitely quarrel with Dad. Did dad still have the face to get angry with mom when he saw it? Moreover, having a common enemy to deal with can also improve the relationship between grandma and mother, so that mother will not be troubled by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How good was the relationship between grandma and mother before, and grandma also took great care of them. Li Qianfei couldn't help but miss the past. At that time, although my mother and they failed to get the title, they were always protected by my father and grandma, and I didn't suffer any disadvantages.
After thinking of a way, there was a faint smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, and she couldn't help but glance at Li Xiao triumphantly—she just let her be arrogant for a few more days.

Li Xiao is walking in the garden.
She was in a good mood at night, and she ate too much, which made her stomach bloated and uncomfortable, so she simply came for a walk. Li's garden used to be all roses, and roses were also Xu Manqin's favorite flower. After changing the hostess, the garden was replanted with the lilies that Zhan Jiayin liked.
Although Li Xiao hated Zhan Jiayin, she would not vent her anger on the innocent flowers. She slowly appreciated the beauty of these flowers. The night adds a mysterious color to the lily, and the lingering aroma makes people feel slightly drunk.
"Sister." Li Qianfei's crisp voice sounded from behind.
Li Xiao turned around and saw that the younger sister was wearing a rather elegant beige skirt, and there was a sense of innocence in the way she bent her eyes to look at her.
Li Xiao said, "Are you coming for a walk too?"
The left and right are just soldiers coming to block the water and cover them with soil.
Li Qianfei walked to her left, and her doubtful voice was full of innocence, "Hey, sister didn't wear the necklace I gave you?"
Li Xiao said, "It's too heavy, and it hurts my neck."
Li Qianfei: "..."
This reason directly blocked all her words.
She looked around the open lilies and reached out to pick one of them, her eyes full of nostalgia, "This flower reminds me of my childhood."
Li Xiao looked at her quietly, with the attitude of "I just watch your performance".
Li Qianfei said: "Ten years ago, I saw a more beautiful lily than this one."
"It's just that the environment at that time was not very good. At that time, I was kidnapped together with a little brother. I saw Lily Manshan in that valley."
Li Xiao listened to Li Qianfei start telling the story. According to her, after being kidnapped together with the little brother, she escaped with the help of the little brother's wit, but was chased by soldiers. In order to help her little brother, she cut off her long hair and put on his clothes to lure the pursuers away. The little brother also gave her a necklace, which was the one she gave Li Xiao.
Li Xiao asked: "Since this necklace is so important to you, why do you have to give it to me?"
Li Qianfei sincerely said, "Because my sister is also very important to me. So I want to give you my beloved things, and I hope we can be good sisters for a lifetime."
Li Xiao snorted, "Thank you then."
She should thank her for giving her two billion for nothing.
Li Qianfei frowned slightly, dissatisfied with her indifferent attitude, but it was difficult to show it. She lowered her eyes and clenched her fists slightly. She has already said what should be said, and it depends on what her good sister will choose to do.
She watched Li Xiao Xianting stroll back to the room, and let out a long breath.
She took out her cell phone and started looking for grandma's number.
"Grandma, it's me."
****
Qu Lian hung up the phone, trembling with anger. If Fei'er hadn't called her, she would not have known that her son gave Li Xiao 10% of the shares without telling her. That's 10%! ! Not just tens of thousands of dollars.
How dare he
As a girl, Li Xiao will get married sooner or later, which means that the shares of the Li family will fall into the hands of outsiders. Not to mention that Li Xiao was badly taught by her mother Xu Manqin, her eyes grew on the top of her head since she was a child, and she has never been close to her grandma. What is Nan Jue thinking? Didn't Zhan Jiayin stop him? It's so useless!
No, she can't accept this!
Qu Lian couldn't sit still anymore, and decided to go back to S City, and stopped worshiping the Buddha. During the Chinese New Year this year, she dreamed that the dead ghost at home said that there was something wrong with the feng shui of the Li family, and she needed her to worship Buddha sincerely to improve the feng shui. Bye bye. Of course, on the other hand, it is also because she and her son have become bad because of Zhan Jiayin, and she also needs to take a step back to improve the relationship between mother and child.
But now, she can no longer stay here calmly. If she stays any longer, who knows if Nanjue will give away more property from the Li family, which will be left to her golden grandson!
She immediately asked someone to pack her luggage and book her the earliest flight ticket for tomorrow.
Aunt Yang, the nanny who usually served her, held a thick envelope and said to her, "Old lady, this is a letter for you."
Qu Lian frowned, who still sends letters these days.
She took the envelope, which didn't even have a postage stamp, only three large characters in large print: Received by Qu Lian.
Qu Lian tore open the envelope, and when she saw the photo on the top, her breathing became heavy, her eyes darkened, and she passed out directly.
****
Li Qianfei hummed a happy little song with a smile on her lips.
Li Nanjue, who was originally in a bad mood, also showed a slight smile when he saw his daughter like this, "Does Fei'er miss grandma so much?"
He received a call from his mother saying that he would be back today, so he left work early from the company. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty about his mother who had been reciting Buddhism in his hometown for half a year.
Zhan Jiayin said softly: "I made a few dishes that Mom likes to eat, but I haven't cooked them for a long time, I'm afraid Mom won't be used to them."
Seeing her gentle appearance, Li Nanjue softened his heart, "Mom, she has always liked your cooking skills, so she won't have any objections."
For a while, the originally tense husband and wife had a rare reconciliation.
Li Qianfei, who was humming a ditty, looked at Li Xiao who was bored playing with her mobile phone, and the smile on her face deepened, "My sister hasn't seen grandma for a long time, right?"
Li Xiao hummed, raised her head and showed her a big smile, "Grandma is too lonely staying in her hometown alone, I think it's better to let her move back to live, Auntie just happens to be filial to grandma."
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Jiayin's smile froze. Her mother-in-law is not a good person to serve, she is really under the same roof with her, I am afraid that she will be tortured to death in the future.
Li Nanjue's heart moved, and he felt that Li Xiao's idea was good.
"When Jiayin finishes filming this movie, she should rest at home and accompany our mother by the way."
As long as she doesn't go to filming, Jiayin won't have frequent contact with Ren Xitang.
Li Qianfei was very dissatisfied, what happened to her father, why is she so stubborn now? My mother only has a hobby of filming, and he is unwilling to support her. How is this different from those straight men with cancer? But she was most angry with Li Xiao, who dared to sow discord in front of her.
"Dad, mom only has such a hobby, why do you want to take it away? If she retires, her tens of millions of fans will cry to death."
Li Nan felt his face sink like water, and was about to reprimand him, but was interrupted by Li Qianfei's surprised voice.
"Ah! Grandma is back!"
A luxury car drove into the courtyard, and a few minutes later, Qu Lian's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Li Qianfei looked at her grandmother's angry face, looking forward to the next conflict. Grandma is an elder, if she taught Li Xiao a lesson, Li Xiao could only listen obediently.
She watched grandma come over in a huff without even saying hello to her father.
A crisp slap sounded, and one could tell from the sound that the slap was real, and half of Zhan Jiayin's face was red and swollen from the slap.
Li Qianfei was stunned, her eyes widened with disbelief.
Shouldn't Li Xiao be hit? Why did you hit her mother? Didn't grandma come back to settle accounts with Li Xiao
