When Ruan Qingwan heard Gu Chijin call her "Mom", she didn't show any resistance at all. Instead, she nodded with a smile on her face and led the two of them inside.
Walking to the front of the crowd, Shi Qi and Gu Chijin called people one by one under Ruan Qingwan's introduction.
Everyone showed great love for Shi Qi, and several elders gave Shi Qi gifts in front of the Li family's eldest wife.
Shi Qi thanked him and accepted them one by one. Finally, he smiled and called Li Yuanliang and Li Shaoyu gently.
"Dad, brother."
When Li Yuanliang saw his daughter, the smile on his face never faded.
When he heard Shi Qi's call, he immediately nodded happily in response.
A faint smile also appeared on Li Shaoyu's cold face, which dissipated the coldness on his body and made him look a little more popular.
Gu Chijin followed Shi Qi in calling for help. In front of the relatives, Li Yuanliang and Li Shaoyu did not embarrass Gu Chijin and both responded briefly.
The other branches of the Li family saw this and knew that the son-in-law of the Li family's youngest daughter was a sure thing.
After understanding the eldest wife's attitude, everyone suddenly became wary of Gu Chijin.
Several young men came up immediately, climbed onto Gu Chijin's shoulders in a familiar manner, and started to chat with him.
This time the Li family encountered a huge change, and the third and first branches were completely wiped out.
Fortunately, the leaders' attitude towards the first wife remains the same. They reuse her when necessary and appease her when necessary, without any intention of avoiding her or using her.
This also made it clear to the other branches of the Li family that for the next few decades, Li Shaoyu would be the leader of the younger generation of the Li family.
Therefore, this time when they came, the elders of each family told them to build good relationships with the two brothers and sisters of the Li family.
Walk more often when you have nothing to do.
But Li Shaoyu always had a cold face, and his whole body was filled with the words "keep away from strangers". The other boys in the Li family did not dare to offend him, so they had to set their sights on his delicate younger sister and his brother-in-law who came from the army.
Li Yuanliang understood what the younger generations meant, but did not stop them.
The tree has many branches, but the surname is still Li.
It would be good for Li Shaoyu to have a relative in the future when he develops in the political arena. Besides, since he has accepted Gu Chijin as his son-in-law, he will not let him and his daughter suffer any grievances.
If they want to make friends with the younger generations of the Li family, they can make friends with them.
Li Shaoyu also saw the same problem that Li Yuanliang saw.
Gu Chijin and Ning Chu are already a couple, and if necessary, he will help Gu Chijin in the future, and naturally will not stop the Li family from getting close to him.
"Okay, let's talk later. Your grandpa is still waiting inside. Let's go in first."
Almost as soon as Li Yuanliang finished speaking, the scene became quiet.
The protagonists today are himself and Gu Chijin. Shi Qi stood in the crowd, nodded, and followed Li Yuanliang into the room.
Ruan Qingwan and Gu Chijin followed closely behind.
Li Guoye arrived just a little earlier than Shi Qi and the others. When he first arrived, the Li family also had this kind of welcoming ceremony.
However, he didn't like too much noise, and he was in a bad mood, so he walked into the house with a stern face and sat there without saying a word.
Li Yuanliang knew his father's character and knew that he was still angry about what he had hidden from him last time.
But, things had been done, and Li Yuanliang had no other choice but to humble himself and appease the old man.
Having to coax his wife and his father at the same time, Li Yuanliang burst into tears and felt that there was no general in the world more cowardly than himself.
The old man was wearing a green Tang suit and sitting on the sofa in the living room. Shi Qi followed behind Li Yuanliang and looked at him from behind, only seeing the old man sitting upright.
Sitting like a green pine, with a broad back, Shi Qi could tell at a glance that the old man in front of him had an extraordinary aura.
"Dad, Chuchu and Gu Chijin are here."
As soon as Li Yuanliang opened his mouth, Shi Qi pulled Gu Chijin around to the old man, took the teacup brought by the servant, and offered the old man a cup of hot tea:
"Hello, Grandpa. I am Li Ningchu, the youngest daughter of the Li family.
This is my love, Gu Chijin."
When Shi Qi offered the tea and looked up, he saw the familiar and kind face of the old man. His pupils trembled, his hand twisted, and the scalding hot tea spilled out, splashing onto the back of his hand, leaving patches of glaring red.
Gu Chijin kept looking at Shi Qi. Seeing that she was scalded, his brows furrowed. He immediately reached out to steady her arm, took the hot teacup from her hand, and handed it steadily to Li Guoye.
"Grandpa, please have some tea."
Gu Chijin had a calm expression. Although he was also very surprised when he saw Li Guoye for the first time, his reaction was far less than Shi Qi's.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing the handsome and beautiful young couple in front of him, Li Guoye smiled as soon as he entered the room, and looked at Shi Qi with a satisfied smile.
But the words were very surprising:
“I didn’t expect that the most precious little girl of our Li family would be you.
No wonder I felt you looked familiar the last time I saw you."
Shi Qi nodded hesitantly, still in shock. She hadn't expected that the old man she met in the hospital last time was actually the original owner's grandfather.
"Young man, I remember the look you gave me last time was not a friendly one.
Now, my Li family's most beloved granddaughter has been found. I still need to consider whether to marry her to you."
Glancing at the two young men with a teasing look, Li Guoye took the teacup and took a sip slowly.
Before Gu Chijin could say anything, Shi Qi exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on:
"What are you considering, Grandpa? You don't need to think about this."
Gu Chijin didn't want to talk to the old man about this. He grabbed Shi Qi's red hand and said to Ruan Qingwan:
"Mom, do you have any burn ointment at home? I burned my hand."
Ruan Qingwan had just come back to her senses from the strange scene where the grandfather and grandson seemed to know each other. She looked down and saw that her daughter's hand was red and swollen. She immediately pulled her and called the servant with heartache.
"Xiao Zheng, go get the medicine box from home."
Holding Shiqi in his arms, Shiqi sat on the other end of the sofa. Li Yuanliang and Li Shaoyu came over to check on the situation.
Seeing the glaring red swelling on the back of Shi Qi's fair hand, both of them showed a look of heartache.
When the aunts and elders from other rooms saw this, they also squeezed over to see what was going on.
Seeing that her hands were red and swollen, she opened her mouth and hurriedly shouted for the servant to hurry up.
Gu Chijin stood outside the crowd, looking at Shi Qi who was surrounded in the middle, with a light flickering in his eyes.
Shi Qi got a headache from their noise, and he frowned with a depressed look on his face.
Li Guoye noticed Shi Qi's expression, and seeing that she was unhappy, he dismissed the others:
"Okay, okay, it's just a burn, why are so many people gathering around it?
I have nothing to do, so I went to loosen the soil in the garden.
A day of leisure.”
As soon as the old man spoke, the elders of the Li family all fell silent.
He was scolded so hard that his face turned pale and blue, but he didn't dare to talk back.
Shi Qi saw this and felt amused, then turned to look for Gu Chijin.
Seeing him standing outside the crowd, Shi Qi felt a pang of pain in his heart and immediately waved to him.
Everyone here is from the Li family, and he is standing alone here, looking quite pitiful.
