C1013 At Least You Know How to Talk
He didn't even say anything from the beginning to the end.
It was as if she wasn't his mother.
She really gave birth to a son for nothing.
Yao Hong looked at her grandson Lih Yu as if asking for help. She remembered that the little fellow had once been deeply loved by the old man. Yao Hong gave Lih Yu a look.
As long as Lih Yu could make the old man happy, Lih Lee would not force her to kneel.
After all, he was an old man. If she really knelt down... She wouldn't have the face to return to the old residence anymore.
And... Kneeling to someone on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although it was to kneel to a senior old man, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was unlucky.
Lih Yu originally leaned into Zhang Meng's arms. The child wanted to say a few words, but Zhang Meng pinched him. He knew that his mommy didn't want him to talk, so he didn't say anything.
After all, grandfather seemed to have a problem with their family last night.
So, it was better to listen to Mommy's silence.
But now Yao Hong had already looked at him. Lih Yu received his grandmother's gaze and hesitated for a moment. He wanted to break free of Zhang Meng's hand and plead for Yao Hong.
But just as he struggled, he was forcefully pulled back by Zhang Meng. He said in a low voice. "You are not allowed to go. Be honest and stay there. If you speak too much, you will make many mistakes."
It had to be said that in Lih Lee's family, Zhang Meng was the only one who knew how to avoid the current situation. If she rushed forward now, she would definitely be looked down upon by the old man along with Lih Yu.
It was fine that the old man did not like Yao Hong, but he had to treat her son, Lih Yu. That meant that Lih Yu would have even less hope of staying with the old man in the future.
She didn't expect that the old man liked Lih Xiaoning now and didn't like Lih Yu. It wasn't because Yao Hong liked Lih Lee because of Lih Lingfei, it was purely because Lih Yu wasn't as sensible as Lih Xiaoning.
Yao Hong waited and waited, but none of her sons and grandsons came forward to speak for her. Receiving Lih Lee's cold gaze and remembering Lih Lee's instructions at the old house, she gritted her teeth and wanted to kneel down.
In any case, she was going to throw away her old face.
But just as she was about to kneel down, she heard Lih Xiaoning shout, "Wait!"
Yao Hong was slightly stunned. She really did not expect that the one who called her to stop was actually Lih Xiaoning.
Then she saw Lih Xiaoning rush to the old man's side and reach out his little hand to shake the old man's arm. "grandfather, just let Second Aunt go. Everyone says to endure for a while and take a step back to open up the sky. Calm down, we are not angry anymore. If we are not angry, then let Second Aunt go."
"Uh, you brat. I am doing this to help you and your mommy vent their anger." The old man raised the cane and almost knocked Lih Xiaoning's head. Luckily, the little guy was smart and dodged the attack.
"Yes, yes. Grandfather is the best. Ning loves you the most. But we all say that when you can forgive others, you should forgive them. Grandfather, you can punish Second Aunt by washing the dishes for the whole day. Don't punish anyone else. Alright."
The old man looked at Yao Hong and saw that she was desperately nodding her head. He sighed, "What a traitor. Alright, let's do as you say. Yao Hong, go wash the dishes."
"Yes, old man." Yao Hong was serious and really went to clean up the mess on the ground. As long as she did not kneel in front of people, she felt that she could do anything.
It was just washing the dishes. Even if she washed ten times a day, it was still better than making her kneel down.
When she turned around, she looked at Lih Xiaoning again. This time, she said sincerely, "Thank you, Ning."
If it wasn't for Ning, she would have really made a fool of herself today.
She would never have thought that the one who helped her get out of this predicament wasn't her family, but Lih Xiaoning, whom she had regarded as her enemy since Bai Xianxian married Lih Lingye.
Now, it seemed that it was not unreasonable for the old man to like Lih Xiaoning. This child was not only smart and versatile, but also kind.
It was all her fault. In the past, she had not taken a liking to Lih Xiaoning.
However, she did not expect that when she truly needed it, her son and grandson would not care about it. It was Lih Xiaoning who spoke on her behalf to the old man.
The more Yao Hong thought about it, the sadder she felt. The more she looked at Lih Xiaoning, the more pleasing she found him pleasing to the eye. On the contrary, she found her own grandson unpleasant to the eye.
This time and again, things changed. It was just that fast.
Lih Lingye originally wanted to see Yao Hong make a fool of herself to vent his anger for his little girl and son, but he did not expect his son to speak up for Yao Hong.
He wanted to go forward and call Lih Xiaoning back, but was stopped by Bai Xianxian, "Hubby, don't you think Ning's worldview is very correct? Since it is correct, let him continue. Don't correct it. Otherwise, it will be in vain. "
Lih Lingye deeply agreed.
His wife's words made sense. Then he would listen to his wife.
Therefore, he allowed Lih Xiaoning to save Yao Hong.
Seeing that the old man had taken his son away, Lih Lingye didn't want to waste any more time. "Wife, let's go. Let's go eat breakfast." He hadn't forgotten that his wife was still hungry.
The food had already been served, and the steamed fish had also been freshly steamed. Bai Xianxian ate very quickly. She was really hungry and felt like her eyes were sparkling with gold.
"Cough..." She choked on the food in a hurry.
"Wife, slow down." Lih Lingye patted her on the back and followed her breath. He coughed a few times and finally stopped.
Lih Lingye couldn't help pinching her cheeks. "You can choke on food."
"If you don't like it, you can divorce me. Bai Xianxian is very grateful." Bai Xianxian rolled her eyes at Lih Lingye.
Lih Lingye immediately said, "I don't mind, I don't mind. You look very cute when you choke."
"Bai Xianxian laughed out loud. Luckily, she still laughed out loud. When she was talking to Lih Lingye just now, the food in her mouth had already been eaten. There was no more. Otherwise, it would be spraying rice.
Seeing that his wife was laughing, Lih Lingye let her laugh. The most important rule for pregnant women was to maintain their mood. En, Bai Xianxian had done it now. It was pretty good.
Bai Xianxian laughed for a long time. Lih Lingye kept holding her hand and did not say anything. She laughed alone and did not have any fun. "You can be said to be cute even if you choke. Lih Lingye, did you drink honey just now?"
"As long as your heart is sweet, whatever you drink will be sweet. It is sweeter than honey." Lih Lingye said confidently.
Bai Xianxian finally held back her laughter and said casually, "Lih Lingye, at least you know how to talk."
"No, no. I can't compare to you when I'm an adult. I can't compare to Ning when I'm younger." In any case, no one could compare to his wife and children. His wife and children were the best.
Bai Xianxian put her chopsticks on Lih Lingye's forehead and said, "Lih Lingye, you have to keep a low profile. Do you understand?" Lih Lingye was now a tycoon, so it was better to keep a low profile.
"Uh, do you think I'm the kind of person who can keep a low profile just because I want to?" Lih Lingye shook his head. Now that he was the richest man in Country Z in Lih's Group, it was destined that he would have to live a life where tens of thousands of people would tell him his purpose. He would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
