Chapter 3834: White Lotus

Editor: Henyee Translations

She had the ability to distort the truth, and she knew what Old Master Li hated the most. First, she chose to talk about Ye Jian’s background. Ye Jian came from a mountain village. She used some unknown method to force her cousin, Ye Ying, out of the university entrance examination and got into the military school herself. These two things already violated Old Master Li’s taboo.

He hated it when a person was scheming. A woman should be docile. Even if she had some small schemes, she couldn’t let others see through them.

It was a good thing to be scheming. However, if she schemed until others saw her as a joke, she would be stupid!

Then, he heard Du Jiayi say that Ye Jian used her beauty to cast her net widely. She had an ambiguous relationship with many unmarried young masters from wealthy families in the capital city. This violated another one of Old Master Li’s taboo.

Second Old Madam Li added fuel to the fire. “What should we do? What should we do? Jinnian has been protected too well by his family since he was young. He doesn’t know how evil people are. Since he’s in the military unit, he doesn’t know how complicated society is. Many women with evil intentions want to marry into wealthy families.

“Old Master, what should we do? Jinnian is not close to his family. If we remind him to be careful, he might blame us. What should we do? I, I, I… I’m so anxious that my hands are trembling.”

As she spoke, she remembered to put on a scene. In order to let Old Master Li know that she was really panicking, Second Old Madam Li even placed her hand on the back of Old Master Li’s hand. Du Jiayi admired her when she saw this.

The person she respected the most wasn’t her mother. The person she respected the most was her grandmother, who made her grandfather think that although she was scheming, she wasn’t going overboard.

A woman like Grandma was a winner.

Old Master Li wouldn’t fly into a rage when he was angry. At his age, it wasn’t suitable for him to lose his top. That would be harmful to his health.

Glancing at his wife, Old Master Li said calmly, “Jinnian hasn’t been well protected by his family. He knows that not many people in his family are sincere to him. I heard from Jiayi that Ye Jian is good at coaxing people. If you had been willing to let go of your prejudice against your sister and accept Jinnian back then, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Second Old Madam Li’s expression froze. She retracted her hand and lowered her head to wipe her tears silently.

At this moment, she couldn’t open her mouth anymore. The more she said, the more she would blame him.

Seeing that her grandmother was being criticized, Du Jiayi hugged Old Master Li’s arm and said, “Grandpa, you can’t say that about Grandma. I heard that First Grandma made Grandma kneel in the snow for an entire day back then. It was First Grandma who broke Grandma’s heart first. You can’t be unreasonable.

“Grandma is worried that Eldest Cousin will be deceived. Now, you’re telling Grandma off. Grandpa, you’re unreasonable.”

“Alright, you little girl. You only know how to feel wronged for your grandmother. Hurry up and let go. My old bones can’t withstand your shaking. My bones are about to fall apart.” In the face of his granddaughter’s adorable act, Old Master Li didn’t say much about his wife. He had to leave his wife with some dignity in front of the younger generation.

“I’ll take care of the matters regarding your eldest cousin. As for you, you can’t tell anyone. As for her knowing the child of the Xia family, develop the photos and give them to me. Don’t get involved in this matter. I know what to do.”

Du Jiayi didn’t want to agree. All she wanted to see was Li Jinnian’s misfortune. If she couldn’t interfere, how could she do that?

“But…”

With just that one word, she received a warning look from Second Old Madam Li, who was wiping her tears. The old master had spoken. Even as the woman by his side, she didn’t dare to say anything, let alone his granddaughter.
