Chapter 38
"She didn't make a mistake."
"Causing trouble to the owner is the biggest mistake!"
"She didn't bother me."
Li Jingchuan frowned and said softly.
The old lady banged her cane angrily, "But she has caused trouble to Xiaorou!"
"Xiaorou is the future mistress of Blue Bay Villa, and she is also her master!"
The man turned his head and glanced at Gu Xiaorou with a cold look, "You think so too?"
His words made Gu Xiaorou's face pale slightly.
She pursed her lips, took a step back with pretense of grievance, and lowered her head, "I have explained to grandma many times that these are the speculations of people on the Internet. We don't need to rely on other people's speculations..."
"guess?"
Old Mrs. Li glared at her with hatred, "Why, you have to wait until that maid really plotted against Jingchuan and what happened to Jingchuan before you were willing to drive her away?"
"If she gets pregnant or something, do you want me as your great-grandson or not?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she glared at Li Jingchuan coldly, "Let me ask you one question, are you going to fire this maid or not?"
"No expulsion."
"Ah."
The old lady looked at Li Jingchuan indifferently, "I'm not unreasonable. Give me a reason why you have to keep her."
"If she really needs to stay, my old lady will naturally not stop you."
"But if not, you must have been obsessed with her!"
Li Jingchuan frowned, "There is indeed a reason why I kept her."
"It's just not convenient to say now."
He needs to have Nian Nian recognize her ancestors and return to the Li family at the right opportunity, and return to the Li family with a very high profile, rather than silently like her returning to him.
Moreover, he also wanted to give Nian Nian's appearance a surprise to his family.
So Li Jingchuan planned to bring Nian Nian there unexpectedly on the old lady's birthday in a few days, in front of everyone, to give his family a surprise and give Nian Nian an identity.
Now he can't tell the old lady about Nian Nian's existence.
The old man can't hide things. If she knows about it, it means that the entire Li family knows about it, and the things involved later will be even more troublesome.
Gu Xiaorou was also sure that Li Jingchuan would not reveal Nian Nian's identity easily, so she came out to cause trouble without fear.
"There is a reason to keep her but refuse to tell her, what's the difference between having no reason!"
The old lady knocked her cane hard, "I don't care what the hell you are doing, but I tell you, you must either drive that woman away today or decide on your wedding date with Xiaorou right away!"
"A woman has been your fiancée for five years. If news like this comes out about you and a maid, you must give them an explanation!"
Li Jingchuan looked up at the old lady calmly and said in a cold voice, "I will not drive away that maid, nor will I decide the date of my wedding to Gu Xiaorou."
"If you have to force me, I don't mind breaking off the engagement with her now."
The man's words instantly silenced the office.
The old lady stared at Li Jingchuan in shock, "How dare you!"
"There's nothing I dare not do."
"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
"You didn't even listen to me!"
The old lady turned pale with anger, "I will warn you today, either you will get rid of that maid, or you and Xiaorou will get married immediately!"
"Otherwise, don't come to see me. I don't need an unworthy descendant like you to attend my birthday banquet!"
After saying that, she angrily asked the landlord to help her leave, leaning on crutches.
"Jingchuan."
After the old lady left, Gu Xiaorou came over with a look of helplessness and carefully pulled the corner of Li Jingchuan's clothes, "I really tried to persuade grandma, but she didn't listen to me at all..."
"Is it?"
Li Jingchuan curled his lips lightly and looked coldly, "She is over eighty years old and she doesn't usually have access to the Internet. How come Li Yue and I only went to the mall in the morning and she knew the news on the Internet in the afternoon? She was still like that
clear?"
The man's words made Gu Xiaorou's face turn pale.
She pursed her lips, "Jingchuan, do you doubt me..."
"I just think it's such a coincidence."
Li Jingchuan sat indifferently on the boss's chair and cast a cold gaze on Gu Xiaorou, "Originally, I planned to wait until grandma's birthday banquet before announcing the dissolution of our engagement with you. This would make it more formal and there would be no one at the banquet.
There will be more, and we won’t need to explain too much to others about this matter in the future.”
"but......"
There was a hint of coldness on the man's lips, "Looking at the current situation, I can't wait until that day."
"Why don't we announce the dissolution of our engagement today?"
Gu Xiaorou panicked.
She bit her lip and pretended to be calm, but her heart was already shaking, "Jingchuan, now is not the time..."
"The photo of you and your maid shopping at the mall has just been released this morning. If you announce the news of your breakup with me this afternoon, it will make others think that you are really having an affair with that woman."
"Others will think you broke off your engagement with me because of that maid."
Li Jingchuan found it funny, "What do other people say and think, what does it have to do with me?"
"What about sister?"
In desperation, Gu Xiaorou had to move out of Gu Liyue, "My sister misunderstood you, don't you care?"
The man's face paused slightly.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Xiaorou took a deep breath, lowered her voice and continued, "Brother-in-law, you have to know that it was my sister who left a suicide note, asking you to get engaged to me and take good care of me."
"The appearance of Nian Nian now proves that my sister is not dead."
"Since she can bring Nian Nian back, she will definitely observe you in the dark. You are breaking off the engagement with me now, in the eyes of outsiders, just because of that maid."
"If my sister knew that you were even willing to break off the engagement with me for a maid... would she come back to you?"
The woman's words made Li Jingchuan silent.
He closed his eyes, and Gu Liyue's pure eyes appeared in front of him.
indeed.
He could not care about anyone misunderstanding him, but he could not care about Gu Liyue.
She is the only person in this world that he feels sorry for and the only person he wants to cherish and protect.
"So brother-in-law."
