Chapter 3106
3106 A Scheme Within A Scheme
Li Chuhai and Li Chenglan had a good relationship. When they were young, in order to get goodies from the first wife at the old residence, they often worked together. At that time, under Old Master Li’s arrangements, the first wife lived in the old residence. The second wife was their biological mother.
The first wife and second wife didn’t want to think about what happened back then. To them, it was a humiliating period.
It was precisely because they had suffered together when they were young that the relationship between the siblings had always been good.
At this moment, Li Chuhai was pouring tea and apologizing. Li Chenglan wasn’t so angry anymore, but it was impossible for her to calm down.
“I’ve drunk your tea and heard your apology. You’d better explain it to me properly now. If you can’t explain it, Li Chuhai, don’t even think about making me forgive you!”
“Sister, don’t worry about these things. Mom is old. She doesn’t have to listen to what’s going on outside. Let’s talk outside.”
Second Old Madam Li, who was only 15 years older than her daughter, stood up herself. She took good care of herself and didn’t even need the help of the servants. She stood up slowly and waved her hand with a smile. “Alright, alright. You can talk at home. You don’t have to go anywhere. I’ll go back to my room to take care of your father.
“I wonder if your father has been woken up by the two of you. I have to go and see him. The two of you, lower your voices and stop arguing. Do you hear me? If I hear any more sounds, your father won’t have to do anything because I’ll kick you out first.”
That was what she said, but Second Old Madam Li could not bear to abuse her own flesh and child. She could not wait for such a huge house to become her son’s alone in the future.
How could she bear to kick them out?
Li Chuhai immediately stood up and helped Second Old Madam Li, who was much healthier than Old Master Li and had agile footsteps. “Mom, let me help you upstairs. We’ll settle our own matters. You don’t have to worry.
“It’s my blessing that you’re in good health. Li Jun said that he wants you to take care of his child in the future!”
Li Jun was Li Chuhai’s son.
Second Old Madam Li loved to listen to this coaxing. She returned to her room with a smile.
Li Chenglan watched coldly from the side. When she saw Li Chuhai coaxing their mother until her face was full of smiles, her facial expression softened…
When Li Chuhai came down, she spoke calmly, “Now that Mom is gone, tell me your plan. I don’t understand. Why did you send someone who caused me to become the laughing stock of the entire upper class overseas?
“Previously, when you said that you didn’t like her, I believed you. That kind of person doesn’t usually catch your eye. But what are you doing now? Li Chuhai, if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today, this matter won’t end!”
A trace of gloominess flashed past Li Chuhai’s eyes. He smiled and asked, “I thought you were appeased. Why do you still sound so angry? Come, let’s drink tea and talk.”
He refilled Li Chenglan’s teacup and asked casually, “Sister, who told you that Sun Ying went overseas?”
“Don’t try to get information out of me. I was the one who sent her in. Why can’t I know her whereabouts? Although this kind of person isn’t worth my time, she has some skills. I naturally have to be careful.
“Otherwise, do you think I’ve lived the past few decades in vain?”
“Sister, Sun Ying does have some skills. She needs to do something for me.” Seeing that she didn’t mention who had leaked the information, Li Chuhai didn’t probe further. There was no hurry. He would find out about this sooner or later.
