Chapter 5551: Chapter 5551: Watching the Drama
Madam Li’s sharp "Pah" made her own husband frown.
The more she lost her composure, the angrier and more frustrated she became, and the happier Li Ronghuan was.
"Elders? Aren’t all my elders sitting at the table right now?" Li Ronghuan raised an eyebrow, "And also, your mom is at best a step-mother, who used to be a concubine, and a concubine in ancient times meant a servant, a servant who definitely doesn’t have a place at this dining table."
"Li Ronghuan, you’ve gone too far!" Madam Li’s face swelled with rage, turning purple, "My mom and my dad loved each other for decades, and she stayed by my father’s side longer than your mom did! How dare you insult my mother? On what grounds?"
"Me, gone too far? How am I the one who’s excessive? It’s all of you. I’m simply asking to spend Chinese New Year’s breakfast with my dad and my mom, and you’re all obstructing this. As soon as dad left, you disregarded him. Madam Li, am I the one going too far or is it you?"
Li Ronghuan continued relentlessly to frustrate Madam Li and her daughter, "Besides, isn’t the custom to pay respects to the elders on the first day of the New Year? Am I wrong here? Go outside and pull anyone in to ask, see if what I’m doing is wrong?"
"Then, why don’t you ask Chuhai to come out too!" Madam Li was already tricked by Li Ronghuan, following his logic unwittingly.
"Madam Li, you truly must be getting senile, didn’t you hear? It’s about paying respect to elders on the first day of the year, and what elder does Li Chuhai represent?" Li Ronghuan crossed his arms, his gaze chilling as he looked at Madam Li, "A murderer, does he deserve it?"
Li Jinnian, watching secretly from the entrance cabinet, flashed a slight smile in his eyes, hardly expecting his uncle to have become so adept at confrontation.
"Help me back to my room!" Overwhelmed, Madam Li felt her blood pressure rise, fearing she might even have a stroke if she listened any longer!
With a face grim and furious, she glared at Li Ronghuan, her eyes so cold they might as well have turned into blades, wishing to flay Li Ronghuan alive.
"Mom! If you leave like this, he will be even more pleased!" Madam Li was reluctant, "If anyone should leave, it should be him!"
Having just said that, Madam Li clenched her teeth in anger, remembering how Madam Li had been previously driven to the hospital by Li Ronghuan. If she got upset again today, wouldn’t that make Li Ronghuan even more smug?
"Jiayi, quickly help your grandma to her room and take good care of her. Don’t let her get angry again." Concerned for Madam Li’s health, Madam Li could only concede and retreat a step. She would only take this one step back, none more.
Du Jiayi secretly glared at Li Ronghuan before supporting Madam Li back to her room.
How can a younger brother be so annoying, like a rat ruining everything at home!
Empowered by his own victory, Li Ronghuan was in high spirits and even extended an invitation to his brother-in-law who often seemed strict, "Brother-in-law, let’s have breakfast first, don’t mind them."
"No, thanks. We had our meal before we came." Keeping stern, Du Guoqiang declined and accompanied Li Ronghuan to visit Madam Li’s room instead.
Getting so worked up, hopefully, it doesn’t bring on an illness!
"Well, since that’s the case, I’ll just have to have a meal with my parents alone." Li Ronghuan took his place at the dining table alone, enjoying his meal immensely, without even calling over his elder brother.
Li Jinnian had seen enough drama from the sidelines, walking from the entrance cabinet into the living room, his tone level and calm without any fluctuations, casually greeting, "Dad, uncle, Happy New Year."
