At this moment, the butler brought some tea over.
“Old Master, Old Madam Li, please have some tea,” he said.
Old Madam Li nodded, “I haven’t seen you for so long. How’s your health?”
“Thanks to you, I’m doing fine,” the butler replied.
Hearing his reply, Jiang Ling’er immediately knew who this old lady was.
She looked at Li Yu with dissatisfaction, as if asking why he didn’t tell her in advance.
Li Yu coughed awkwardly in reply.
“Mom, it’s almost time for work. I have to send Ling’er to the set,” he said.
Old Madam Li was a little upset with his sudden interruption.
She asked, “Can’t she take a break today?”
Li Yu replied, “Whether it’s school or filming, Ling’er has never been absent or late. She also won’t leave early; only if there’s an issue will she ask for it. If she doesn’t go today, some netizens online will make a fuss about it. It wouldn’t be good for her.”
“Alright, let me ask you. Since you’re her manager, won’t you help share her burdens?” Old Madam Li immediately said seriously. “Yet what are you doing right now?”
Everyone was speechless.
She continued, “Some things can be avoided in advance, but what if something suddenly happens? If you don’t even have this bit of public relations ability, what’s the use of having you?”
“Mom, I can solve many things,” Li Yu said lightly. “But if we don’t go now, Ling’er will be late. Many people online will use this incident to attack her.”
After a pause, he continued, “By that time, even if we settle this matter, most people will still think that she’s acting haughty and doing it on purpose. Even if she tries to explain, it will be seen as her making excuses.”
Old Madam Li was rendered speechless.
She thought for a moment and said, “Li Yu, I’ve been away for so long and haven’t been scolding you. You’ve gotten ahead of yourself, haven’t you? How could you lie so much?”
Jiang Ling’er quickly acted as a peacemaker.
” Don’t be angry, Grandma Li,” she said. “I want to spend more time with you, but I really have to go now. When I have the space, I’ll definitely spend more time with you.”
When Old Madam Li heard her words, she immediately became happy.
She asked, “Since you’re leaving now, when will you be home?”
“If there’s no special situations, I’ll definitely be back before 7:30 p.m.,” said Jiang Ling’er.
Old Madam Li thought for a moment and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you here.”
“Alright, I’ll return as soon as possible,” Jiang Ling’er said hurriedly.
Old Madam Li nodded. “Good girl, go to your job. Don’t be late. It wouldn’t be good if the media turned this into an issue.”
“Alright, Grandma Li. Li Yu and I will leave first,” said Jiang Ling’er.
After saying that, she hugged Old Madam Li before leaving.

After Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu left.
“Old Jiang, what do you think of those children?” Old Madam Li asked.
“What do you mean, Sister-in-law?” Old Master Jiang asked with a smile.
Old Madam Li didn’t beat around the bush and directly persuaded, “Don’t pretend; how can you not know Li Yu likes your granddaughter? Let me ask you, do you think they’re compatible?”
“Sister-in-law, that still depends on whether they get along well,” said Old Master Jiang after brief silence.
She was stunned for a moment, then she sighed softly.
She said, “Old Jiang, Li Yu has already told me about Li Yan and Ling’er’s engagement annulment, but he didn’t give me details. Do you know about it? Can you tell me?”
“Sister-in-law, I’m definitely biased toward Ling’er, so I can’t say much about certain things,” he replied.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say it, Old Madam Li could only sigh helplessly.
In fact, even if no one said anything, she could guess that it must be Li Yan’s fault. If he wasn’t at fault, Old Master Li wouldn’t be hiding anything.
She said, “Alright. I won’t trouble you, but you mustn’t implicate Li Yu because of Li Yan’s actions,”
Old Master Jiang smiled, “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I’m not a fussy old man. I also hope that my granddaughter can have someone who really loves her. If Li Yu is suitable, they will naturally get together.”
“Ah Yu is very serious for Ling’er,” Old Madam Li said sincerely. “So, I just wanted to see your thoughts.”
“Ling’er has her own plans,” hee said while drinking tea. “I’ll support her no matter what she does in the future.”
“Then let nature take its course for the two children,” said Old Madam Li..
