his expressionless face fiddling with his cuffs as he spoke. Though his words were calm, they carried a powerful threat.Wang Sheng's pupils contracted, nodding repeatedly.Li Bochen asked, "Who told y...Li Bochen didn't budge, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he directly told the steward, "Make sure the hospital and time are confirmed, then notify me."
Old Mr. Li blew his beard and glared, this son of his was good in every way except for not being serious about his work. Could it be that he would really leave his large family business to the eldest and second sons
The family doctor arrived shortly and examined Old Master Li, prescribing some medicine to consolidate his qi and blood. Under the watchful gaze of Li Bochen, Old Master Li had no choice but to obediently drink it. The old housekeeper watching on couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Perhaps only the Fourth Young Master could control the old master!
After finishing his medicine, Li Bochen chatted with Old Master Li for a while. Old Master Li felt sleepy and had just lain down when suddenly a servant's greeting came from the hall downstairs.
"Master Young, Mistress Young, Second Mistress..."
Downstairs, Li Jianbin and Yu Lan, along with Jian Ningyi, rushed into the hall.
Their facial expressions varied, but all conveyed a sense of urgency and worry.
It was obviously also for the sake of Old Master Li's illness.
"Aunt Wang, Grandpa's heart isn't feeling well, why didn't you notify us sooner" Li Jianbin, over fifty years old, exuded the aura of authority. The moment he entered the hall, he began by questioning with a stern but composed voice.
The maid, Wang Ma, trembled all over and hurriedly explained, "It's the old master who didn't let us inform you."
"If the old man doesn't want you to tell anyone, will you just keep quiet If something happens, can you take responsibility for it" Li Jianbin's voice grew even colder.
Elderly members of the Li family generally live alone in their ancestral homes. After their sons came of age, they all moved out.
Old Master Li favored Li Bochen. Sometimes, Li Jianbin and others wanted to place some people in the Li family's old house, but Old Master Li was surrounded by trusted elders, especially this Wang Ma.
"Since the hired help isn't competent, might as well replace them all." Yu Lan spoke directly, getting rid of Wang Ma. This way they could place their own people and easily monitor every move the old man made!
When Wang Ma heard she was going to be fired, her whole body trembled. She pleaded for mercy, but Li Jianbin not only remained unmoved, he said, "Considering you're an elderly woman, I'll give you an extra year's salary."
Jian Ning watched them digress, remaining silent.
As the second daughter-in-law of the Li family, her history of ascending to power was not glorious. She has always been awkward in the Li family, but Li Jiancheng has always been very fond of her.
Today, she is here on behalf of Li Jiancheng to visit Mr. Li.
However, just as Li Jianbin's bodyguard was about to forcibly escort Wang Ma away, a nonchalant male voice came from the second floor, low and with a hint of dominance, "Big Brother, you have quite the presence. But it seems you've chosen the wrong place."
Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. Li Bichen stood at the railing on the second floor, dressed in a well-tailored suit, leaning on it with one hand and looking down condescendingly.
A faint smile played on his lips, yet there was an air of majesty, as if a king surveying his domain.
Li Jianbin and Yu Lan were stunned, their pupils shrinking in disbelief.
< Fourth! >
The fourth child actually came back...
They had long heard that someone had seen Li Boche's figure in the Imperial Capital, but they had never met him face to face and always held out hope.
But never in their wildest dreams did they expect that Li Botong not only returned, but also arrived at the old house to visit his ailing father before they could!
More shocked than they were was Jian Ningyi.
Jian Ningyi's whole body trembled slightly, and her hand hanging by her side gradually clenched into a fist.
Lì Bòchén!
This man, whom she both loved and hated!
Six years have passed, since the last farewell. Six whole years, more than two thousand days and nights, heaven knows how she managed to get through them...
Her lower lip was held tightly between her teeth, keeping Jian Ningyi from losing control.down!" Luo Ningxi exclaimed, struggling to get down.How could Ke Libo let her go His cold voice carried an innate sense of pressure, "Her legs are so soft, and she still has the mood to care about oth...
