Chapter 746 The Old Man’s Compromise
The old man lost his temper and was angry for several days.
Li Lei played hard and soft, knocked on the door of the old man's study, brought a cup of tea in, and smiled to please him: "Grandpa, don't get so angry, drink tea. Xiaoling has many advantages, you try to accept her, okay?" ?”
"Accept a fart!" The old man was furious.
Li Lei smiled and put the blue and white porcelain teacup on the sandalwood table, walked around behind the old man, and gave him a light pat on the shoulder: "Grandpa, you don't like Xiaoling, isn't it because you are afraid that she will overwhelm me? Look, after so many years Isn't it good for me and her to be together?... Well, it's been good recently."
The old man glared at him: "Who knows when her orphan luck will strike?! You can't stay away from her and like another woman? There are so many good women in the world! There are so many women who can bear children!"
Hearing what he said, the smile on Li Lei's face slowly faded.
His voice became very gentle and sincere: "Grandpa, to be disrespectful - you love my grandma so much, if grandma is also of Xiaoling's fate, or if grandma can't bear children, you would have abandoned me back then. Her?" The love between the two elders is a good story, although grandma became old and ugly before she died of illness, but in grandpa's heart, she has always been the most beautiful woman in the world.
The old man was so angry that he slapped the table and tea splashed: "You bastard!"
How could this bastard grandson compare a woman like Ye Xingling with his beloved Awan? ! Is that woman worthy? ! The old man's eyes widened angrily, and he pointed at his grandson with a trembling hand: "Shut up!"
The roar was so loud that even the housekeeper guarding the door was startled.
The housekeeper raised his hand to wipe his sweat and glanced at the closed wooden door of the study. Not sure what's going on inside? Over the years, the old man has always loved the second young master very much, but the scolding just now clearly showed that he was angry.
Second Young Master, is he... all right?
In the study.
Li Lei lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the water drops splashing on the rosewood table.
Using the incident of grandma as an analogy to Xiaoling, he knew that grandpa would be furious, but other than that, he had no choice but to impress grandpa and let him understand how important Xiaoling was to him.
He raised his head and calmly met the old man's gaze.
It was quiet in the study for a long time.
The ups and downs of Mr. Li's chest slowly calmed down, and he said slowly: "Your grandma is such an excellent woman, smart and gentle, she can cook and take care of housework, and she doesn't change face when she faces ten knives on her neck. But What about Ye Xingling? She is reckless, arrogant, and so impulsive. Does she have even one advantage that can attract people’s attention?!"
Li Lei smiled faintly, thinking of that girl seemed to think of the beauty in the world. "I just like her like that," he whispered, "I love her."
Love doesn't need a reason.
The old man stared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to see a hole through his grandson.
Li Lei went on to say: "Grandpa... You said that she is lonely and widowed, but it's not that scary. If she dies before me, it doesn't count against me, right? If she dies behind me... don't you think, Is the person who leaves early the happier?" There is no need for **** to live in memory of the deceased every night, with uncontrollable sadness.
The old man turned his back.
"Go away." After a long time, he said.
Li Lei bowed deeply to his back and exited the study.
"Master." Outside the door, the housekeeper came to greet him and looked at him with some worry.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and it took several seconds for him to realize the butler's call, so he waved his hand, indicating that he and the people inside were fine, and walked away from the study door step by step.
He had already made it very clear to his grandfather.
Whether you can listen to it or not depends on Grandpa himself.
Xia Ling didn't know the struggle on his side. She was enjoying herself these days.
Ever since the reporters caught the news that Li Lei invited her to dinner on the day of the airport pick-up, the public's voices for her and Li Lei's reunion have grown louder, saying that they are a good match together, and they have listed various reasons, counting them one by one. Why did she blow up the pairing of Su Tang and Li Lei?
She was very happy and even ate more food. She had gained weight and her clothes from last year were no longer fit for her.
She dragged Li Lei to go shopping and buy clothes, but was photographed by the reporter again, and the photo spread to Su Tang's hands, which made the usually elegant and quiet woman very angry, and ruthlessly tore apart the pictures of the two of them.
Xia Ling doesn't know.
Even if you know, you won't care.
She took care of herself wholeheartedly, no matter how happy she was, this time, she really didn't care about the feelings of the Li family's seniors -- anyway, it's useless to care about it, isn't it?
Who would have expected the situation to change.
On this day, Li Lei came to her with a smile on his face: "Xiao Ling, the begonias in my villa are blooming. Grandpa is planning to hold a flower viewing party tomorrow. I invite you to attend."
Xia Ling was slightly startled, and her first thought was - "How does the old man want to trick me again?"
Li Lei was a little hurt, and blinked at her: "Actually, grandpa is not as bad as you think. During this period of time, I showed affection and reason to him, and he finally agreed to try to accept you, so I just invited you over in the name of the flower viewing party."
Xia Ling was doubtful. When did Mr. Li become so easy to talk to?
Li Lei said: "Grandpa has loved me since I was a child. As long as I insist on being with you, he will be the one who will finally give in on this matter. Xiaoling, our Shaohui will recover his status soon. By then It’s great that our whole family is harmonious and beautiful.”
Xia Ling looked at him and nodded.
Yes, and Xiao Shaohui.
If the old man doesn't accept her, there's nothing he can do. But now that he is already trying to accept her, why doesn't she also try to reconcile with him? After all, he is Xiao Shaohui's great-grandfather, and it is not good for the relationship to be too tense.
She asked, "Can you take Xiao Shaohui there?"
Li Lei said: "It's better for us to take this matter step by step. Let grandpa accept you first, and then accept Xiao Shaohui." Originally, the old man was very dissatisfied because of her infertility. child", the old man's dissatisfaction will only worsen.
It is better to wait until the old man accepts him first, and then slowly introduce the child.
By that time, I'm afraid Shao Hui's true identity will be revealed, and everyone will be happy.
Xia Ling thought about it, there was really no need for the child to follow her to be angry - if the old man made a face to their mother and child at the banquet, wouldn't it be too wronged for Xiao Shaohui?
She held that child in her mouth for fear of melting, so how could she be willing to take it out and suffer injustice?
So, the next day, she left Xiao Shaohui at home, dressed herself up carefully, put on a very pure and beautiful light blue dress, and followed Li Lei to see her grandfather.
