Chapter 17 She is Glowing

Li Xingze smiled and said, "My brother won't go. He loves Luoxue the most and will not forgive Gu Mian."

The next second, Li Tingshen got up and went to the kitchen.

Li Xingze: “…”

"My brother is worthy of being the eldest grandson. He is the most filial to grandma and always listens to her!" Li Xingze hurriedly added.

The old lady's expression finally eased a little.

Li Tingshen came to the kitchen and saw Gu Mian making a cake alone in the western kitchen area.

She is very focused and treats making a cake as seriously as she would a work of art.

In the past three years, Li Tingshen actually paid little attention to his wife.

He did not resist her presence, and was even unexpectedly addicted to her in love affairs, but except in bed, he seemed to have never paid enough attention to her.

At this moment he suddenly discovered that when he was concentrating on sleeping, his body was glowing.

Li Tingshen didn't know where these random thoughts came from. He calmed down and walked to her side. "It's time for dinner. Let's go eat first."

"You guys eat first, I'll be ready soon."

"Grandma has spoken, so don't start eating if you're not here."

Gu Mian naturally knew what was important and what was not. If she asked the Li family to wait for her in this situation, she would be hated.

She could only put the cake in the refrigerator and followed Li Tingshen to the restaurant.

When Madam Li saw Gu Mian, a smile immediately appeared on her unhappy face, "Mian girl is here? Come and sit down and have your meal."

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting." Gu Mian apologized before sitting down next to Li Tingshen.

"Let's start eating."

After the old lady spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Li Xingze's eyes rolled, and he stood up and picked up a shrimp for Gu Mian with a serving chopstick.

Gu Mian was stunned, looking at the face in front of him in confusion, which was three points similar to Li Ting.

Others also looked at him in surprise.

Li Xingze smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the food in prison must be very bad, right? You have lost weight, eat more."

Li Ting frowned deeply!

"Xingze!" The old lady looked at her grandson with a warning in her eyes, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Where did I say that?" Li Xingze looked innocent. "Has my sister-in-law never been to jail? Or has she not lost weight?"

"you......"

"Grandma." Gu Mian spoke before the old lady could scold him, "Xingze is right. It is a fact that I have been in prison. There is nothing I cannot say."

She knew very well that the more she avoided and resisted, the more others would use it to attack and humiliate her.

Instead of harboring meaningless inferiority complex, it is better to face it calmly.

The thing called face was doomed to be gone from the day she went to jail.

Madam Li looked at Gu Mian with heartache, "You have been wronged, and grandma can't let you be laughed at in your own home."

"What did she feel wronged about?" Li Xingze said angrily, "She was only in jail for a year, and now she's back with nothing lost. It's a pity for Luoxue, she'll have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life!"

Yin Luoxue lowered her head and looked at her legs, her face showing pain, but she still sniffed and pretended nothing had happened and said, "Xingze, don't say anything, let the past be the past. I said at the beginning that I don't blame Gu Mian, so just letting her go to jail for one year is enough."

Gu Mian curled his lips, thinking it was extremely ridiculous.

Li Xingze saw Gu Mian's expression and became even angrier. "What kind of attitude do you have? Luoxue is so good to you, but you are still not satisfied, right? As long as I am here, don't even think about touching a hair of Luoxue! Women like you should be locked up in prison for life, so as not to come out and harm others!"

Just as the old lady was about to speak, she heard a low, cold voice slowly ringing out.

"Have you said enough?"

Everyone looked towards Li Tingshen who had been silent the whole time.

The man's face was gloomy, and the low pressure surrounding him seemed to cause the temperature of the air to drop by several degrees.

Li Ting raised his eyes deeply and looked towards Li Xingze.

Li Xingze just felt a chill down his spine!

He has been afraid of his brother since he was a child. Even now that he has grown up, a look from his brother can make him shudder!

Li Xingze swallowed nervously and asked, "Brother, did I... did I say something wrong?"

"Didn't grandma say that no one is allowed to mention this matter again? Are you deaf or don't you take her words seriously, huh?"

Li Xingze was about to explain when he spoke again, "Gu Mian is my wife. I didn't say anything. How can you criticize her here? You dare to scold her like that in front of me. If I wasn't here, wouldn't you kill her with a knife?"

Li Xingze's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a humiliated and angry tone, "Brother, you never cared about these things before, why are you helping me sleep today?"

"I didn't help her." Li Tingshen picked up the goblet, took a sip of red wine, and said coldly, "I just want to remind you that even though Gu Mian is a dog I raised, it is not someone else's turn to train him. Do you understand?"

Yin Luoxue gritted her teeth secretly, with a gentle and sweet smile on her face all the time, "Brother Tingshen, how can you describe Gu Mian as a dog? Xingze will not discipline her in the future, please don't hurt the brotherhood because of such a small matter."

"Luoxue is still sensible." The old lady smiled and said, "Unlike Xingze, who has become wild and unruly in the entertainment industry."

Yin Luoxue was flattered. Old Madam Li had never liked her. No matter how proactive and enthusiastic she was when they met, she would just respond coldly. Today was the first time she praised her.

Yin Luoxue hurriedly said, "Thank you, grandma. I'll get you a bowl of soup."

"I'll let my granddaughter-in-law take care of these little things. I won't bother you."

Yin Luoxue's hand, which was about to scoop the soup, froze in the air, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Li Xingze hurried to help, "Luoxue, you can't reach it, I'll serve it."

Yin Luoxue then withdrew her hand awkwardly.

The old lady continued, "Luoxue is right. You two brothers must not damage the harmony. Especially today at the family dinner, it is so disgraceful."

Li Xingze brought the soup to Old Madam Li, "Grandma, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."

"I'm old and have my neck buried in the soil. I don't expect anything else. I just hope that Ting Shen and Mian Yatou can give me a great-grandson as soon as possible. But the fate is not what people want. Mian Yatou was sent to prison by you and suffered for a year. "It's painful." Mrs. Li wiped away her tears, "You've delayed my wish to have a great-grandson for another year!"

Gu Mian's hands, placed under the table, were tugging at the corner of his clothes.

If old lady Li knew that she was pregnant, she would definitely be very happy, but this child was destined not to be known by the Li family.

Li Xingze comforted her, "Grandma, that was her own fault..."

Thinking of Li Tingshen's eyes just now, he swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.

The old lady wiped her tears and continued, "Now that Miss Mian has finally returned, this house has become a mess. You two brothers even dared to quarrel at the dinner table. It seems that it is time for an old woman like me to step up and clean up the mess."

Li Xingze's heart skipped a beat. "Grandma, how do you want to fix this?"

Are they going to confiscate his bank card?

Madam Li looked at Yin Luoxue and said, "After all, everything started because of Luoxue. Although the Li and Yin families are old friends and neighbors separated by a wall, they are not close relatives after all, so there should still be a sense of boundaries. In the future, Luoxue doesn't have to attend family dinners like this."
