Chapter 5282: Heartbreak
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Jian, whom the siblings were talking about, was still training hard. She trained with the male soldiers until she no longer looked like an army soldier. She had completely become an air force soldier.
The Li family made Old Master Li’s funeral solemn and grand. The guests who came to pay their respects were all famous people in the capital city, including the guests from other provinces. After three days, Old Master Li was cremated and buried. During this period of time, Second Old Madam Li would faint and wake up repeatedly.
In the late autumn in the capital city, the fallen leaves were rustling. The wind blowing along the ground would pick up a few yellow leaves, which were then blown away once more.
Old Master Li’s fame and fortune were all gone after he died. Old Master Li, who had been obsessed with power his entire life, had become a pile of dust. From then on, no one would be able to see Old Master Li through the cold tombstone.
Staff Officer Du placed the white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and knelt down to kowtow three times. His heart, which had been tense since Li Chuhai was killed, finally relaxed. It was so relaxed that he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
His sigh was loud enough for Madam Li, who was kneeling, to hear. When Madam Li, who had a sorrowful facial expression, heard this, she turned her head fiercely and looked at him angrily. "You’ve been hoping for my father to die early. Now, your wish has finally come true, right? You’re finally relieved, right?
She lowered her voice as she questioned him. Her voice was distorted as she was gritting her teeth.
Staff Officer Du frowned. "Are you crazy? Do you want everyone to see you as a joke?"
"My father is dead. As his son-in-law, you knelt in front of my father’s grave and heaved a sigh of relief. Who’s the one who will be laughed at?" If not for the fact that she was afraid of being laughed at, based on Madam Li’s personality, she would have roared.
Du Kaiwei, who was kneeling behind her, felt the veins on his forehead twitching. "Mom, do you want to speak up? There are guests waiting to send Grandpa off. If you speak louder, they can hear you too."
With Old Master Li gone, not to mention Staff Officer Du, even Du Kaiwei heaved a sigh of relief.
In the future, his mother, who had been doing stupid things ever since his uncle left... should be able to sober up.
Madam Li shut up when her eldest son spoke. When she got up, she saw Li Jinnian standing in front of her. Her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, flashed with a hint of maliciousness.
In the past few days, everyone had seen Li Jinnian. As the eldest grandson of the Li family, he carried Old Master Li’s photo all the way into the cemetery. No matter how Second Old Madam Li tried to stop Li Jinnian from coming out to meet guests, she couldn’t stop Li Jinnian from not showing his face today.
Li Jinnian was known as Old Master Li’s eldest grandson. However, other than the guests who came to talk to him on the first day, no one else came to connect with him.
He used the simplest and most effective method to tell everyone that he had been chased out of the Li family by Old Master Li a few years ago and refused to admit that he was a descendant of the Li family. He told these people very clearly that he would not get involved in the Li family’s matters in the future.
His declaration made the Li family worried, but made Second Old Madam Li happy.
After the funeral, before Li Ronghuan could have a good chat with Li Jinnian, Du Kaiwei saw with his own eyes that his cousin, who had never relied on the Li family, left the Li residence overnight with the travel bag issued by the navy unit.
Du Kaiwei stood in a daze for a while before returning to the Li family’s old residence. His mother asked the four of them to guard against Li Jinnian from scheming against the Li family’s assets. He thought that Li Jinnian really wanted to monopolize the Li family.
In the end, Li Jinnian didn’t take the family to heart at all and left just like that!
