Chapter 2111: Complicated

Among her sister’s descendants, only her second son satisfied her a little. He didn’t care about anything and didn’t care about the family. He became a famous painter at home and abroad. She had several paintings of him in her hands, and any one of them cost hundreds of thousands.

Li Jinnian was not interested in these things at all. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and faced Old Master Li, who was sitting on the sofa. He had white hair and a beard. “I won’t disturb you anymore. Rest early.”

He nodded at Matriarch Li, put on his military cap, and left.

Looking at his back, Old Madam Li secretly clenched her fists. She didn’t even care about maintaining her reputation anymore. She had just hoped that he would say something to make the old master give the painting to her granddaughter.

In the end… he was just like his father! He just wouldn’t let her have her way.

It would be good if everyone from her sister’s side died so that none of them would anger her.

“If you want to leave the treasures to the third child, I have no objections. The third child’s surname is Li. Everything will be left to the descendants of the Li family anyway.”

An old voice suddenly sounded, startling Old Madam Li so much that she quickly unclenched her fists and adjusted her expression. Every wrinkle on her face appeared benevolent now.

“Forget about Jiayi. Her surname is Du, and she’s not a descendant of our Li family. I’ll still give her some things, but they won’t be great things. I won’t leave her with much, but I won’t mistreat her either.

“Li Jinnian is the eldest grandson of my Li family and the most promising one. Naturally, I have to leave everything in my hands to him. And you naturally have to leave what I give you to our third son and his family.

…

“It’s just a small birthday. What kind of scheme are you setting up? Do you still need the eldest grandson of the Li family to congratulate you? Did they ever come to Li Jinnian’s birthday? Did you, his grandmother, ever think of giving him anything good?”

The more he spoke, the more respectful Old Madam Li became. It seemed that her relations.h.i.+p with Old Master Li was not that of a husband and wife but a master and servant.

Old Madam Li, who had lived her entire life carefully, did not dare to show any disrespect to her husband who could control her life and death back then.

Hearing this, she smiled and nodded. “You’re right. Your things naturally have to be left to the descendants of the Li family.”

As long as the old man still had their third son in his mind, she would naturally compensate Jiayi.

The lights in the mansion went out one after another. Soon, only the street lamps outside the house and in the corridor shone. Li Jinnian walked out of the mansion and looked back at the carved mahogany door plaque. A faint mocking smile appeared in his cold eyes.

The Li family?’

He really had no kins.h.i.+p with the Li family. The only kins.h.i.+p he had left was with his maternal grandfather’s family.

When he walked out, he didn’t think about going back to his house. He took out his phone and dialed a number that had been turned off for the past two days. Surprisingly, he got through this time.

Xia Jinyuan was also surprised. He looked at the caller ID again before saying, “Demon King?”

He sat in the car he drove and didn’t start it. He asked Xia Jinyuan calmly, “Come out for a ride in the capital city. Forget about the team.”

Xia Jinyuan, who was still in the military headquarters, smiled and said, “I’m in the capital city, but I can’t come out yet. I’m still detained in the military headquarters. I won’t be out for at least two hours.

“But if you don’t mind waiting, why don’t you wait for me at General Hospital? I have to go there when I’m done here.”
