Li Yuanliang was suddenly scolded by his wife and became timid.
The old hand that was pointing at the tip of Gu Chijin's nose quickly retracted and hid behind his back.
Turning around and seeing his wife and daughter looking at him, Li Yuanliang forced a smile on his face and responded loudly:
“No yelling.
Where did I yell?
I was discussing the military deployment with my son-in-law, and I got excited and spoke a little loudly.
You guys continue chatting. When I finish talking to my son-in-law, I'll go see if the tonic soup is ready in the kitchen."
Li Yuanliang laughed with a flattering voice and wanted to slap himself twice.
Now, in front of Gu Chijin, he lost all his face and dignity.
Ruan Qingwan looked at him suspiciously and warned:
"Behave yourself! If you scare your son-in-law, you'll be in trouble."
Li Yuanliang nodded with a bitter face. After his wife and daughter had retracted their heads, he turned around and glared at Gu Chijin.
"It's all your fault."
Gu Chijin was silent.
Blame him for nothing.
It was clearly him who was pointing at himself and yelling like a firecracker.
What does it have to do with him?
Adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, Gu Chijin nodded:
"Don't worry, Dad. I won't tell Mom about you scolding me just now."
"You dare."
Li Yuanliang's eyes bulged, he glared at Gu Chijin fiercely, and left with his hands behind his back.
After talking to Ruan Qingwan, Shi Qi went downstairs. Ruan Qingwan went to the kitchen to check on the vegetables. Shi Qi came out and went to the garden to look for someone.
Shi Qi walked along the stairs and passed the corner corridor. As soon as he arrived at the garden, he saw Gu Chijin sitting alone in the garden pavilion, drinking tea and enjoying the cool breeze.
"Why are you here alone? Where's Dad?"
Taking the teacup from Gu Chijin's hand, Shi Qi lowered his head and took a sip. He was so chilled by the cold tea that he almost spit it out.
"Dad still has some military matters to deal with, so I'm going to the study first.
Why did you come out?
Didn't you talk to Mom?"
Taking the cold tea from Shi Qi's hand, Gu Chijin stood up and held her little hand that was frozen by the cold wind.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside."
The two held hands and walked back into the house. Shi Qi answered his previous question:
"Mom went to the kitchen to check on the dishes.
Gu Chijin, don’t you like staying here?
Otherwise, let’s have lunch and then go home.”
Shi Qi knew that Li Yuanliang's roar just now was definitely directed at Gu Chijin. Now seeing him standing alone in the pavilion blowing in the cold wind and not going into the house, he knew that he must have been wronged.
It makes me feel even more distressed.
Gu Chijin's expression remained unchanged. He led Shi Qi to avoid the pebbles on the garden path and said with a smile:
“Nothing to dislike, this is your home.
They are your family and I will always respect them."
Hearing Gu Chijin use the word "respect", Shi Qi lowered his eyes to hide the melancholy in his eyes.
She knew that Gu Chijin did not truly approve of Ruan Qingwan and Li Yuanliang.
But she understood.
After all, during the last incident between the Li and Qu families, the Li family took advantage of him and almost caused him to get into trouble.
If it were me, I wouldn’t let it go so quickly either.
Sighing secretly, Shi Qi did not argue for the Li family.
I just hope that in the future, the Li family can show more respect to Gu Chijin.
After all, if it weren't for me, Gu Chijin wouldn't have to stay here and suffer.
As soon as the two entered the villa, Ruan Qingwan came over with a smile and asked them to prepare for lunch.
Shi Qi glanced at the time and was surprised to find that it was already twelve o'clock noon.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not harmonious. Li Yuanliang was obviously unhappy and kept ignoring Gu Chijin, which caused Ruan Qingwan to glare at him several times.
Shi Qi saw it all, but didn't say much. After dinner, he went into the study with Li Yuanliang, saying that he had something to ask his father.
When his daughter came to see him alone, Li Yuanliang's face became even uglier.
He opened his mouth and asked:
"Did that brat Gu Chijin come to you to complain?
I knew he was not an easy person to deal with.
After just a few words to him, he couldn't help but come to you to complain.
Humph, you spineless thing."
Li Yuanliang's angry look made Shi Qi curl his lips. He sat opposite him and shook his head to explain:
“He didn’t tell me anything.
I noticed that you had a poor appetite just now, Dad, and I guessed that something was wrong between you two."
Looking at his daughter's five-point resemblance to his wife's, Li Yuanliang calmed down and continued:
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Dad just couldn't stand his arrogance and gave him a lecture."
Shi Qi nodded to show his understanding, took the teacup from the desk, poured a cup of hot water for Li Yuanliang, and gently placed it next to him.
"It's only right for Dad to teach his son-in-law a lesson. I, your daughter, have nothing to say."
Before Li Yuanliang's facial muscles relaxed, he heard Shi Qi continue:
"Just one thing, my daughter hopes that daddy won't be prejudiced against Gu Chijin.
Please be five times as tolerant towards him as you are towards me.
Is it okay, Dad?"
Looking up at Li Yuanliang, Shi Qi's gaze was sincere and bright, and his big watery eyes were full of anticipation.
Li Yuanliang's heart melted when his daughter looked at him. He felt heartbroken when he thought of the beautiful baby who was cuddling in his arms when he was a child, and how she had grown up in the blink of an eye and married a cunning man.
But when he met his daughter's expectant eyes, he couldn't say a word of refusal, so he could only keep his voice down and nod reluctantly.
"Okay, Dad promises you that I won't target him in the future.
But today, it was that brat who made me angry first.
If he hadn't disagreed and you had moved to the capital, why would I have scolded you?
I am an intellectual, and I am usually well-educated.”
Not wanting his image in his daughter's heart to collapse, Li Yuanliang tried his best to make amends for himself.
