Chapter 8 Oh dear, you're destined to be a mistress.
Li He stopped, took the phone in front of him, and glanced at it. It was his grandmother.
"Is your reaction a case of hitting a brick wall?"
"Is the other person a woman or a man?" The old lady didn't answer him at all, only asking the question that concerned her.
Li He: "...Who gave you the misconception that I would like men? The Li family has never set such a precedent before. Be careful your mouth doesn't become a curse."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of "Pui pui pui" erupted from the other side.
Grandma breathed a sigh of relief, then took another breath, and after a long while, she hesitated before speaking again, "Hey, there's something Grandma wants to tell you. Grandma is getting old and can't keep it to herself. If she keeps it inside, Grandma might die of pent-up feelings."
Li He stopped at the doorway and then went back out.
"Hey, why did the second young master come in and then go out again?" Butler Wang looked around. "Dinner is about to be served."
The man stood up from the sofa. His tall and muscular physique made him appear mature and domineering. He glanced at someone sideways, his long, deep eyes cold and ruthless.
"He won't starve if he skips a meal. Zhiyun, Zhixian, come and eat."
On each of the two single sofas sat a woman, each with stunning beauty and captivating charm.
At first glance, the two look exactly alike.
Upon closer inspection, however, the two not only have vastly different temperaments, but their faces are also not entirely similar.
She had a cold and arrogant demeanor, exquisite and fashionable makeup, and gorgeous and noble attire.
She was cool and composed, with a clean and elegant appearance, and dressed in a refined and comfortable manner.
Butler Wang glanced at the backs of the eldest young master and the two young ladies. If he hadn't watched the eldest young master, the second young master, the third young lady, and the fourth young lady grow up, he really wouldn't have recognized the two pairs of twins without careful observation.
Li Zhixian stood up, straightened her expensive yet delicate long dress, and walked towards the door. "I'll go call Second Brother. Eldest Brother, you and Fourth Brother eat first."
"Big brother, Li Zhixian wants to skip dinner," Li Zhiyun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhixian immediately turned around, brushing past her and bumping into her arm. "Shut up, you just wait."
Li Xiao lowered his gaze and swept it over Zhi Xian, who had obediently returned, then turned to Zhi Yun, "What's wrong with her?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhixian's heart skipped a beat, and he glared at Li Zhiyun with a threatening look in his eyes.
"My stomach isn't feeling well during the checkup, and the doctor told her to eat properly." Li Zhiyun wasn't looking at her; she couldn't receive any signals at all.
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Li Zhixian, "If you don't eat properly, I'll have someone watch over you and feed you every day."
Butler Wang quietly retreated. The little boy from before had grown up, and he was getting a bit awkward.
Several maids served the dishes silently, their movements becoming increasingly careful.
Li Zhixian feared nothing but his elder brothers, and was completely subdued by their gaze, sitting obediently at the dining table.
Li He walked to the lakeside, sat on a bench under a cedar tree, and leisurely leaned back with his legs crossed.
"Grandma, what have you done now? Tell me."
Grandma stammered, "Yesterday I went to the fortune teller to tell your fortunes..."
Li He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, paused slightly in the act of lighting it, and then continued.
He took a puff and chuckled casually, "So, what did the fortune teller say this time? Will I suffer a bloody disaster? Or will I end up in jail?"
Grandma was displeased, "Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh~ this time you've changed your approach?"
"Oh dear~ the fortune teller said..." Grandma said sadly, "you are destined to be a mistress."
Li He narrowed his eyes slightly. "What fate?"
"People say you're destined for many romantic encounters, with a strong presence of the 'Robbing God' element." You're an invincible mistress.
"Heh~" Li He suddenly laughed.
When Grandma heard him laugh, she knew he didn't care, and she felt even more heartbroken. "Hey, Grandma used to hope that you would get married soon, but now Grandma just hopes that you will be a good person."
Li He flicked off his cigarette ash, got up and went back into the house. "You should say that to Li Xiao. I have always abided by the law."
grandmother:……
"Hey you, you're bringing up your brother again. Did you hear what I said? The prerequisite for loving someone is loving yourself. You are the most important person."
"Okay, I understand."
"By the way, speaking of your brother, is he here?"
"Wait a minute, he says he misses you and Grandpa every day, go and have a good chat with him."
In the restaurant, the three siblings dined politely, watching Li He walk gracefully towards them.
Li Zhiyun: "Second Brother."
Li Zhixian: "Second brother, come and eat."
Li He walked over to Li Xiao, placed the phone in front of him, put one hand on his shoulder, and leaned over to say into the phone, "Grandma, I've given the phone to Li Xiao. You can talk to him."
Li Xiao glanced at him, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.
Li He had already sat down opposite him under his cold gaze.
"Xiao ah~" Grandma's voice echoed in the restaurant as her phone was on speakerphone.
"Grandma, I'm here."
"Xiao, my dear grandson~" Grandma clearly had something to say.
Li Zhiyun and Li Zhixian both pricked up their ears, their expressions identical when they were gossiping.
Li He ate slowly and deliberately, ignoring Li Xiao's threatening gaze, and chewed elegantly.
Li Xiao's threats were ineffective against the twin brother, who turned his gaze away from the phone and said, "Please speak."
"Ahem~ I asked a fairy to cook some eggs for you yesterday."
Li Zhixian lowered his head and chuckled silently.
Li Zhiyun glanced at her and reminded her, "It'll be your turn soon."
Li Zhixian's face fell. "Too talkative."
"Hmm, what did you say?" Li Xiao was already desensitized to this topic.
"The fortune teller said that you have a strong personality and a bumpy marriage. You need to learn to be more tolerant and compliant, control your temper, and be more gentle. Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing."
Li He withdrew his attention; it was boring, the fortune teller was a bit biased.
"The fortune teller was quite accurate this time; he even predicted that I have a strong personality."
Grandma immediately chimed in, "That's right, this time it's accurate. By the way, have you met any girls you like lately?"
"No."
"If you don't have one, that's fine. But if you do, remember to be gentle and gentlemanly with girls to win their hearts."
"Um, Grandma, didn't you calculate one for Li He?"
Li He stopped eating and looked up at him coldly.
Li Xiao caught his sharp eye steadily.
"Forget it, all of you, forget it. Your brother is fine, no rush. Yunyun and Xianxian are still young, girls aren't in a hurry."
Seeing that the old lady was unwilling to talk about it, Li Xiao said, "Grandma, a while ago someone recommended a very powerful fortune teller to me. He even figured out how old Li He was when he stopped wetting the bed."
Li He gave him a cold, sidelong glance.
Grandma exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's amazing!"
"Yes, but he said he won't do any more fortune telling for me anymore. The more you do it, the thinner my fate becomes. My fate is thin, if he does it again, it will kill me."
grandmother:……
The three siblings all looked at their eldest brother.
"...Really?" Grandma murmured, half-believing, half-doubting, then suddenly snapped back to reality, "Nonsense! Which bastard said you have a bad fate!"
“That person is very famous, known as the Master Calculator,” Li Xiao replied.
"What the hell, you liar! You look like a lucky person, even I, a complete novice, can tell! You're such a fool, you don't know anything and you're out here telling fortunes, what the hell are you trying to tell!" Grandma's noble elegance was gone, and she even started speaking in dialect, looking exactly like an Eastern goddess.
Li Xiao rubbed his forehead.
Li Zhiyun's cold face instantly broke into a wide smile. She managed to control herself and not make too much noise, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
Li Zhixian couldn't help but chuckle.
Li He smiled slightly and continued eating.
"Forget it, forget it, what kind of nonsense is this? Not a single one of them is reliable, what a waste of my time." Grandma hung up the phone amidst her curses.
With a cold face, Li Xiao forcefully pushed the phone in front of him, sending it flying towards the other side, where Li He intercepted it.
"Li He, are you looking for death?"
I'll call you sooner or later.
"That's my business. Come to the fighting room tonight."
Li He raised an eyebrow. "Afraid of you?"
Li Zhixian gestured with his chin toward Li Zhiyun, "See you in the fighting room tonight."
Li Zhiyun: "...I'm busy."
