Chapter 3835: Difference Between Family And Friendship

Editor: Henyee Translations

After receiving the warning, Du Jiayi closed her mouth reluctantly. Fine, she would stop talking about Li Jinnian and Ye Jian for now. But she should be able to talk about her relationship with Li Jinnian.

“Alright, I won’t talk about Cousin and Ye Jian. However, there’s another very important thing I have to tell you. After I mentioned Ye Jian, Cousin felt that my words were too harsh and thought that I was framing her on purpose. He even raised his hand and strangled me. Grandpa, he wanted to kill me because of an outsider. You have to make him apologize to me.

“If not, I’ll feel wronged. I was clearly reminding him for his own good. In the end, not only did he not appreciate it, but he even wanted to kill me. Grandpa, I was really close to being killed by him.”

Hearing this, Second Madam Li gasped and stood up anxiously. “Did he hurt you? Hurry up and let me take a look. How can your cousin be so heartless to you for an outsider? Jiayi, you have to tell the truth. You can’t malign your cousin!”

She stood up, warning her while also being concerned for her. It was hard to tell who she was biased against.

Old Master Li looked at his nervous wife and coughed softly. He said to the aggrieved Du Jiayi, “Your cousin is cold and not good with words. Although his relationship with you is average, he won’t kill you. Look, you’re still fine.

“Physical altercations can happen sometimes. Moreover, you’re cousins. It’s normal for you to bump heads with each other. If he really wanted to kill you, do you think you could’ve come back alive?

“You already said that your cousin is a lieutenant colonel and an elite of the military unit. If he really wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t have been able to escape.

“Alright, don’t treat the conflict between cousins as a huge matter. I still have something on. Talk to your grandmother.” Old Master Li didn’t give Du Jiayi any explanation. He stood up and treated what Du Jiayi thought was a huge matter as a small conflict between cousins.

Du Jiayi thought that she would be comforted and that her grandfather, who doted on her, would stand up for her. She realized that it wasn’t the case!

“Grandpa…”

If she didn’t achieve the effect she expected, Du Jiayi wouldn’t be willing to give up. She got up and wanted to pester him for a while more.

“Jiayi, your grandpa has something to settle. Come and talk to me.” Second Old Madam Li grabbed her granddaughter’s arm and forcefully pulled her back to the sofa.

Du Jiayi, who felt that she had gained nothing, refused to listen. Her eyes turned red instantly. She stretched her neck and cried in grievance. “Grandma, it’s not like what Grandpa said at all. Eldest Cousin clearly wanted to kill me. Look here, it’s still red. It’s still red!”

There wasn’t even a mole on her neck that was as fair as a swan’s neck, let alone any redness. Second Old Madam Li pulled Du Jiayi’s hand away from her collar and said with heartache, “I know that you’ve suffered grievances and that you’re not lying. But…

“Jiajia, since your grandfather said that it’s just a tussle between cousins, that means that it’s a tussle between cousins. If you feel wronged, think about your grandfather’s angry expression just now. Do you feel better now?

“Since you just want to make Li Jinnian’s life unhappy, remember not to be too greedy. There will always be progress. What you want to happen requires time. Once that day comes, you won’t remember feeling wronged. You’ll only feel that all your grievances were worth it.”
