Chapter 782 Who Said To Get Married
The melodious sound of the violin rang out from nowhere.
It was a live band, starting to play softly. In the banquet hall, the crystal chandelier lit up one after another, reflecting the smiling faces of the guests. The waiters shuttled among the crowd holding exquisite wooden trays. There was a peaceful and happy atmosphere everywhere. Atmosphere.
Li Lei helped Xia Ling off the stage.
Xiao Shaohui walked up and down on his short legs and muttered: "Daddy hates it, mommy doesn't want me." Wearing a small silver-white tuxedo, he followed them and walked off the stage.
Mr. Li bent down and tried to grab Shaohui's hand.
Xiao Shaohui stepped away as if he was frightened, raised his head, saw the old man's face clearly, and ran away quickly.
The old man's brows wrinkled unnoticeably.
In the banquet hall, the banquet was still going on. Li Lei took Xia Ling to find a secluded lounge to sit down, and asked for some scented tea and snacks to drink. "Eat something," he said. "Grandpa will definitely come to see us in a while. The troublesome things are still to come." He was not naive enough to think that the old man would compromise for the sake of his great-grandson.
Sure enough, not long after, Mr. Li followed Shao Hui and walked in.
Accompanying the old man was Su Tang.
Li Lei was the first to speak: "Su Tang, please step aside."
Mr. Li's face darkened: "What are you avoiding? Su Tang is also a member of our Li family!"
Li Lei has long understood that the old man treats Su Tang like his grandson's wife, but since Su Tang risked his life to save himself and was raped by others, he really can't say how to treat her like an outsider.
Xia Ling, on the other hand, looked indifferent: "Keep it all, solve it as soon as possible and live in peace."
She wanted to see what other tricks the old man could come up with.
As soon as she said this, Li Lei stopped chasing her away. This man is now a complete slave to his wife. Wife, oh no, future wife...whatever he says is right.
He put Xiao Shaohui on his knees and peeled hazelnuts for him to eat.
Su Tang stared at their father and son blankly, with a sad look on his face.
Mr. Li asked: "Su Tang, what's wrong?"
Only then did Su Tang wake up from a dream, and forced a laugh: "Grandpa, I'm fine." After she single-handedly rescued Li Lei from the primeval forest, she gained the qualification to call the old man "Grandpa". She said: "Seeing their father and son being so affectionate, I thought of Xiao Rui. After all, he was not blessed..."
She stopped talking.
But Mr. Li remembered that Li Lei seemed to have never hugged Li Rui like this. Although Li Rui is not his biological son, he is still the son of his savior. Li Lei has gone too far! The old man was about to get angry, but when he saw the cute great-grandson in his grandson's arms, all his anger disappeared.
Xiao Shaohui concentrated on eating hazelnuts, his little cheeks bulging, he was so cute.
Mr. Li's voice softened: "Good boy, if you like to eat, Grandpa will prepare more for you."
Xiao Shaohui raised his head, looked at him warily, and shrank into Li Lei's arms.
Li Lei patted his head soothingly, and said to the old man: "The child used to follow Xiao Ling, but suddenly there are so many family members, it takes time to get used to it. When Xiao Ling and I get married, it will be fine soon. .”
"What?!" Mr. Li was angry. He recognized his great-grandson, but that doesn't mean he recognized his grandson-in-law!
"What?" Xia Ling, who was drinking rose tea, also looked confused.
"I said, get married." Li Lei smiled as if he hadn't noticed their strange attitude, "Xiao Ling, you are already old, so it would be nice to marry early. Grandpa..."
"You're only a handful of years old!" Xia Ling glared at him fiercely. She didn't know how this person counted, did she count her age in her previous life plus this life, or simply her age in this life? No matter what, she doesn't admit that she is old!
"Okay, okay, I'm already old," Li Lei said calmly, "it's time to get married."
The blue veins on the old man's forehead were about to pop out, watching them show their affection, he slapped the table hard: "I don't agree with your marriage! Li Lei, I told you a long time ago, don't even want to marry this life-threatening woman!"
"She is the mother of my child." Li Lei looked directly at the old man.
"If you marry her, you won't even be able to keep the child!" Old Master Li said angrily, and turned to Xia Ling, "Miss Ye, why do you have to be so shameless to marry into a family that doesn't welcome you? My Li family can recognize your son, Give him a status, but if you think that mother is more valuable than son, then you are too naive!"
Xia Ling was yelled at by the old man, so she went to yell at Li Lei: "Did you hear that! I won't marry!" Who is more valuable? She is the majestic Phoenix of the Xia family. Anyone who has a relationship with her is lucky, right? !
Li Lei was very resentful and whispered: "We all agreed..."
"Who made the agreement with you?!" Xia Ling said angrily.
Li Lei felt aggrieved: "In the ward on the cruise ship, you said you wanted to marry me..."
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that there was still this problem.
Li Lei cautiously added: "Shao Hui can testify."
Xiao Shaohui nodded obligingly as he ate the hazelnuts peeled by his father.
Xia Ling felt that she was so mean-mouthed back then, why did she take the initiative to ask for marriage? She glanced at Mr. Li and Su Tang, and saw disdain on their faces. She must have thought that she had used some scheming trick to try to marry Li Lei.
"Stop pretending, Miss Ye," the old man said with a sneer, "The Li family will not marry you."
Xia Ling yelled at Li Lei again: "I won't marry you!"
Li Lei: "You said you wanted to get married!"
Xiao Shaohui lowered his head and ate hazelnuts silently...
The room was in chaos.
The sense of crisis in Su Tang's heart became stronger, and he said quietly: "What will be the result of such a quarrel? Old man, the top priority is to let Shao Hui recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. We can talk about other things later."
Her soft and elegant tone was like a breath of fresh air, calming down the noisy scene.
Mr. Li nodded, yes, the top priority is to get Shao Hui to call him Grandpa Zu. He looked at the child kindly again and said, "Little Shaohui, you weren't frightened by our quarrel, were you? How about going back to the Li family with Grandpa and Dad? Grandpa will prepare a very big house for you to live in."
Xiao Shaohui finally said: "I don't want to be locked up."
Mr. Li froze, this kid really still remembers what happened in Paradise!
But who told the child the truth? The kidnapping incident in Paradise was done by the old man under his command. If no one told the child who was behind the scenes, the child would not be able to associate it with him!
Thinking of this, Mr. Li looked at Xia Ling even more unkindly. It must be this woman!
Xia Ling sneered: "Some people have done bad things, so don't talk sweetly to a child. Do you really think that the child doesn't understand anything?" She did not say anything more outrageous because of Li Lei's face. .
This old man not only took the child to Paradise, but now he also wants to separate the child from her!
