Chapter 61: Freeloader

Fortunately, the Li family is wealthy. If it were an ordinary family, they would not have enough time to buy jewelry and clothes. If they went to the City Lord's Mansion in shabby clothes, wouldn't they become a laughing stock?

"Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will take care of everything!" Li Mingyan, dressed in white and looking like a fairy, walked in with a smile.

He walked up to Bai Yaoyao and looked at the little girl in a beige dress covered with a snow-white cloak. Her round figure made her face look even more delicate and pretty. Her eyebrows and eyes were lively and picturesque. He couldn't help but go forward and hug her, "Our Yaoyao is getting more and more beautiful!"

Bai Yaoyao approached him, sniffed his scent with her little nose raised, and pretended to be obsessed, "My cousin is becoming more and more ethereal!"

Li Mingyan was instantly amused by her, "Little devil!"

Then, he took Bai Yaoyao's hand and said to Madam Li, "No matter why Miss Zhu invited Yaoyao so suddenly, grandma, don't worry. I will take care of her and keep her by my side."

Madam Li hesitated when she heard this. "But you want to go to the men's section? How can that be possible?"

"Yaoyao is just a little child. I keep her by my side and no one says anything. Even if someone says something, my grandson has a way to make him swallow back what he said!" His brows were gentle and there was a smile on his lips, but the words he spoke carried an inexplicable chill that made people shudder.

"Anyway, I feel relieved with you around." This is also the reason why Old Lady Li agreed to let Bai Yaoyao go to the City Lord's Mansion. If Li Mingyan had not gone there too, she would never let Bai Yaoyao leave the house even if she died!

Bai Yaoyao waved to Old Madam Li, then skipped out with her cousin.

City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the most central location of Sifang City. The surrounding land is extremely valuable because of it. Anyone who can buy a house around the City Lord's Mansion must be rich or noble. Even if you have money but no connections, you can't buy one!

And today the City Lord's Mansion is especially lively.

Outside the mansion gate, luxurious carriages were parked in a row, and on the other side were various sedan chairs inlaid with gold and silver.

Zhu Wu, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, was welcoming guests at the door early in the morning. Among the people coming and going, in addition to the city's officials, their families, relatives and friends, there were also various businessmen and dignitaries who came from other places. In short, people came and went, and the traffic was really like flowing water and horses like dragons.

Boxes of gifts were carried by servants and delivered to the City Lord's Mansion. The entire mansion was filled with joy and happiness.

As a specially invited guest of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Mingyan got off the car in front of the City Lord's Mansion and was directly led to the front hall by a special staff.

The front hall is used to entertain male guests, while the backyard is the place for young ladies.

Bai Yaoyao held Li Mingyan's hand and followed him closely, with Matron Hu following closely behind.

This scene immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Hey! Isn't this the eldest son of the Li family? I haven't seen him for a few days, and the child has grown so big?"

Suddenly, he heard malicious speculation in his ears, and the aura around Li Mingyan turned cold. He stopped and looked up.

On the road not far ahead, there were three or five young men in bright clothes standing, surrounded by people watching the show.

The leader was looking at him provocatively, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Bai Yaoyao with a sinister and vicious look.

"Who am I?" Li Mingyan, dressed in white like an immortal, walked a few steps forward with Bai Yaoyao, a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "So I am a freeloader who relies on our Li family for support and eats our leftovers! Isn't that right, Third Young Master Liu?"
