Chapter 374: Relationship History
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Master Li took a deep breath and continued, “No matter why the man broke up or whether he has any regrets, since he chose to break up willingly, he shouldn’t be entangled with his ex. The ex is a thing of the past. Besides, I personally don’t have a good impression of those who have already split apart but suddenly jump out to destroy other people’s new relationships.”
“Old Master, I’ll say something you don’t want to hear. Back then, you also had a girlfriend, right? If it wasn’t for being objected to, you wouldn’t have married Old Madam, right?”
Li Sheng suddenly appeared and said, “Wow, Grandpa, I didn’t expect you to have such a relationship experience.”
The butler coughed awkwardly. Oh no, he had let the cat out of the bag.
Old Master Li was very embarrassed. Thinking back, he had been through a lot.
“When did you come in?” he asked with a frown.
“I just came down. I didn’t go home last night. I slept in the guest room,” said Li Sheng with a smile.
“Look, that girl just now, is she your uncle’s girlfriend?” Old Master Li changed the topic.
“Even if she is, she’s still an ex,” Li Sheng said with certainty.
“It seems like we share the same thoughts,” Old Master Li said with a smile. “But then again, with your uncle’s personality, if he really had feelings for that girl, it might be just as the butler said. Once the ex cries, the current one will definitely lose.”
Li Sheng said indifferently, “Even if their relationship revives, it’s still Uncle’s business. Grandpa, you can’t make the decision. Just like my brother, let nature take its course. In the end, won’t you fall out with him?”
Old Master Li was stunned when he heard his grandson’s words. Then, he smiled.
He said, “You’ve seen through me very clearly, little brat,”
Li Sheng smiled proudly and said, “This is called meticulous observation. Regarding that woman just now, how could Uncle like her? Although she looks polite, her eyes were full of disdain. She didn’t even enter the door yet and she already looked down on us. What good can a woman like that be?”
“You’re right,” Old Master Li replied. “You’re very observant. But how can you be sure that your uncle wouldn’t like her?”
Li Sheng said, “I just know he wouldn’t,”
“What do you think of your uncle and Jiang Ling’er?” Old Master Li asked with a smile. “Are they compatible?”
Li Sheng was silent for a moment before saying, “Jiang Ling’er… I really can’t see through her. When she got engaged to my brother, I thought that she was a fool. There are so many men, and she is quite beautiful. Why did she latch on to Brother instead?”
After a pause, he continued, “But recently, she seems to have changed her. She’s completely different from her previous self. Grandpa, do you think she’s possessed?”
Old Master Li rolled his eyes at Li Sheng.
“She wouldn’t be possessed, but Ling’er has indeed deceived many people,” said Old Master Li.
Li Sheng nodded and said, “That’s true. However, I also know that my brother has no feelings for Jiang Ling’er. So, breaking off the engagement was a good thing. If we forced the two of them to be together, things wouldn’t have ended well. Don’t you think so?”
Old Master Li nodded and replied, “I don’t know if that’s right, but I know that it’s useless for your brother to regret it now.”
“Grandpa, did you know a while ago that Jiang Ling’er was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?” Li Sheng asked curiously. “Is that why you agreed to the engagement?”
“To be honest,” Old Master Li said self-deprecatingly, “I didn’t notice at all. But compared to Bai Xue, I still prefer the simple-minded Ling’er.”
“That’s true. Grandpa, why do you think Jiang Ling’er pretended to be stupid and did so many ridiculous things?” Li Sheng nodded and said. “If she continued to be like that, what would the outcome have been?”
Old Master Li warned meaningfully, “Li Sheng, curiosity kills the cat. Don’t get too curious,”
“I wasn’t curious at first,” Li Sheng said with a dark expression. “But you insisted on asking. Now you’re scolding me?”
“Don’t you have to go to school today?” Old Master Li asked.
“I’ve been very tired recently. I wanted to rest for a day, so I didn’t go,” said Li Sheng lightly.
“In that case,” said Old Master Li, “play chess with me. Butler, go get the chessboard.”
Li Sheng said with a bitter look, “Grandpa, you were abused by Uncle. Are you satisfied now that it’s my turn?”
“Your uncle hasn’t come to see me for a long time,” Old Master Li snorted.
Li Sheng replied, “If you want to see him, he’s just a phone call away,”
Old Master Li said proudly, “Me contacting him? Wouldn’t I lose face?”
