Chapter 795 Long Talk
The servant hesitated: "This..."
The second young master only asked her to take good care of Miss Ye, but he never said to take Miss Ye to see the old man.
Xia Ling urged: "Take me there quickly. If you don't want to, I will find someone else to do the same."
The servant thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you there." Since the second young master entrusted Miss Ye to her care, she couldn't let anything happen to Miss Ye. Now, the second young master has just taken over the power of the Li family, and the internal situation is not completely stable. If anything happens, he will regret it. She must protect Miss Ye well.
Xia Ling smiled slightly: "Thank you."
He followed the servant to a quiet courtyard.
It turned out to be the same Yangxin Garden where she met Mr. Li when she first came to the headquarters many years ago. The courtyard was the same as before, with bamboo leaves flying all around. She remembered that when she came last time, she was a naive little girl who didn't understand anything. She was full of expectations and anxiously fantasizing that the old man would like her, and dreaming of living a happy life with Li Lei. . But that time, the dream was cruelly shattered.
This time, she had no hope for the goodwill of the Li family, and her heart was as cold as a stone. Standing in front of the gate of Yangxinyuan, she was the opposite of Mr. Li. Back then, she needed to bow to him, but now, it is he who wants to bow to her .
It's really fate that makes people happy.
She felt a little emotional. The servant had already told the guards guarding the door: "Miss Ye wants to go in and see the old man."
In front of and around the courtyard gate, there were heavy guards and soldiers with guns and live ammunition, and the atmosphere was tense. Looking at them, Xia Ling thought that Li Lei really turned against the old man this time, and sent so many people to put the old man under house arrest with great fanfare, maybe the old man would have been out of anger long ago, right?
The courtyard door opened with a bang.
She walked in under the protection of several guards.
Passing through the dark flower hall, I found the old man in the Buddhist hall in the side hall.
It’s just been a while since I’ve seen him, but the old man seems to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden. The wrinkles on his face are vertical and horizontal, and his back is slightly hunched. Like an abandoned old man.
He looked at Xia Ling with a pair of cloudy eyes: "What are you here for?"
Xia Ling didn't answer and looked at the old man quietly.
The old man said: "Get out."
Only then did Xia Ling speak: "Li Shanhe, do you think you are still the all-powerful Li Shanhe from before? Don't be ridiculous, as a prisoner, what right do you have to call me out?"
The old man closed his eyes deeply.
Xia Ling sat down in front of him: "Look at how you look now. You have lost your power, as if someone had your backbone ripped out. Is power so important to you?"
Mr. Li looked out the window without looking at her.
What does this girl know? What he lost was power. His most heartbreaking moment was when his grandson, who had been raised by himself, pointed a gun at his head and turned against him.
Xiao Lei...
Xiao Lei.
For a person with a foreign surname, would you even give up your grandfather?
The old man's eyes were slightly moist and he closed them again.
Xia Ling seemed to know what he was thinking: "Yes, maybe it's not for power, but for your so-called family affection."
He raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not qualified to talk about family ties. You are the one who encouraged my grandson to be unfaithful and unfilial!"
Xia Ling looked at him indifferently: "Li Shanhe, haven't you figured it out yet? It's not me, nor Li Lei, but you who are not qualified to talk about family ties. Your grandson's betrayal makes you feel very painful, doesn't it? ?But do you know? How much he used to admire you and respect you.
"In the beginning, every time he talked to me about you, his eyes were full of sparkle. He said that the most respectable person in the world is grandpa.
"But, how did you treat him? When he brought the woman he loved to you and wanted to be blessed, you were so cruel that you beat the mandarin duck, and even made me almost die in the Li family?
"Li Shanhe, do you know that the pain you are experiencing today was something Li Lei experienced many years ago!"
The old man fell silent and looked blank. However, it was obvious how much his grandson's betrayal had affected him. Long Zhong's old demeanor was completely different from that of the all-powerful Li Shanhe.
"I don't want Li Lei to feel bad." Xia Ling said, "It would be hard for him to take away your power. The servant told me that you had a cold a few days ago. When you threw out all the medicines he sent, He squatted on the ground for a long time. Li Shanhe, I hate you, you hurt my son and the man I love most."
The old man's lips moved: "It's useless to tell me this. I will not forgive that unfilial grandson."
Xia Ling's tone slowly calmed down: "I'm not here to ask you to forgive him."
"Are you here to demonstrate to me?" The old man sneered, "You are a young lady from the Xia family, and you will soon become the wife of my Li family. Aren't you very proud?"
Xia Ling said calmly: "I'm not here to demonstrate to you. Li Shanhe, things in this world are so entangled and chaotic. Since there is Li Lei and Shao Hui, we are destined to be relatives in this life, no matter what Are you and I willing? I came today because I hope to live in peace with you."
"Live in peace?" Mr. Li raised his eyelids and looked at her.
Xia Ling said: "Yes, let's live in peace. To be honest, I don't like you, and I know that you despise me from the bottom of your heart. I don't want to put on any illusion of family happiness with you. I just hope that we will not be in conflict with each other in the future. Don't interfere, just nod to each other when we meet, and don't embarrass Li Lei. How about that?"
"Why should I agree to you?" Mr. Li still sneered, "That rebellious grandson doesn't deserve to let me do this for him!"
"You love him." Xia Ling looked into his eyes.
"Bullshit!" The old man, who had always been strong and calm, couldn't help but say violently, "I can't wait to kill that rebellious grandson with my own hands!"
"I know you feel uncomfortable," Xia Ling continued, "What I want to tell you is that Li Lei has always loved you very much, even today. If you don't forgive him, he will suffer forever."
The old man cursed even louder: "Get out! Get out of here!"
Xia Ling stood up and said, "Think about it carefully." She left the courtyard.
Behind him, the courtyard gate slowly closed amid heavy guards. The servant who had been by her side breathed a silent sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no big trouble. However, she began to look at this Miss Ye with admiration...
What Miss Ye said when she faced the old man was so considerate of the general situation.
Miss Ye really loves the second young master, and she also has the wisdom to be the mistress of the Li family.
The servant adjusted his impression of her in his heart. Originally, he heard Su Tang say how innocent and innocent Miss Ye was, but now it seems that Miss Ye may be naive, but when it comes to right and wrong, she can stick to her own position and make the best choice.
This is the most critical quality of being a matron.
When I get back, I want to tell the other servants about this discovery.
The servant accompanying Xia Ling thought silently.
