Chapter 3798: Two-Faced
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ya Ya was Li Jinnian’s half-sister. Her real name was Li Xin.
She was young, but she was scheming. She had been like this ever since she was a child. The older she got, the more powerful she became. She was far better than her mother.
The moment Li Hao raised his voice, the air in the quiet living room seemed to freeze. There was a sense of displeasure as if a stranger had barged in.
The stranger was naturally Li Jinnian.
Li Xin had never liked her half-brother. Ever since she could remember, she didn’t like him.
Seeing that her brother, Li Hao, was still greeting him happily, Li Xin pursed her lips and said coldly, “He’s always complaining that we’re noisy. Even if I don’t say a word, he’ll still complain about how noisy I am.”
“Ya Ya, go back to your room…”
“Ya Ya can just accompany me here. Why would she go back to her room? Jingyun, you’re good at everything except for one thing. Sometimes, you’re too strict with your child!” Second Old Madam Li sighed softly. She was the one who introduced this woman to her stepson. Jingyun had always been good to her, which was why Second Old Madam Li was willing to support this woman and give her some face.
Li Hao and Li Xin had been close to her since they were young. They knew that their stepbrother wasn’t a good person. They would rather get close to anyone else in the family rather than their half-brother.
Second Old Madam Li was happy to see that happen.
She had some other thoughts of her own.
She knew that she needed Li Jinnian’s help now, but she had always treated him with arrogance. She couldn’t suddenly express her goodwill to Li Jinnian, but she still had to soften her attitude. This made her feel a little uncomfortable.
This uncomfortable feeling caused her to want to continue being arrogant. She wanted Li Jinnian to do her a favor and let Li Jinnian know that even if they weren’t related by blood, she was still his grandmother. Now that she had something to ask of him, he should be filial and fulfill her request.
This mentality was extremely subtle. It also reflected that Second Old Madam Li still minded her status as a mistress. Even though she had become Old Master Li’s main wife, she couldn’t erase the scandal she had in the past.
Now that Li Xin was being criticized, Second Old Madam Li looked a little unhappy. She glanced at Li Jinnian and defended her, “Ya Ya is right. Jinnian has always liked quietness and doesn’t like loud noises. Ya Ya is just telling the truth. You can’t reprimand her.”
Zhong Jingyun, who was Li Jinnian’s stepmother, smiled helplessly. “Mom, you can’t pamper her anymore. She’s already 21 years old. Look at her. She’s not reserved at all. She’s like a monkey.
“If I don’t discipline her properly, I’m really afraid that she will cause huge trouble. At that time, I won’t know how to clean up the mess.
“Even if the eldest daughter of the Li family causes trouble, she doesn’t need to be afraid. Ya Ya, don’t be frightened by your mother. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility for you. If not, there’s still Grandpa around. I won’t let you suffer grievances.”
Second Old Madam Li smiled so kindly that even the light in her eyes was gentle. She really treated Li Xin like her own granddaughter.
If she really treated her like her own granddaughter, however, she wouldn’t be allowing Li Xin to cause trouble.
Zhong Jingyun’s eyes flickered slightly. She cursed the old woman secretly. She sized her up, not knowing what the old woman was thinking!
The old woman just wanted to raise her son and daughter badly. The older they got, the more disappointed the old master would be in them. At that time, the old master would be biased toward her own family.
Fortunately, Li Chuhai was dead!
