Chapter 5552: Chapter 5552: What Is Love

Li Ronghuan heard the voice and immediately smiled, putting down his chopsticks and standing up.

He wanted to go over to meet the newcomer but took a glance at his elder brother, Li Tianhao, and slightly furrowed his brows. In the end, he chose to sit down again. "Jinnian, have you had breakfast yet? Why don’t you sit down and join your uncle for a meal?"

"I’ve eaten before I came." Li Jinnian stood there, showing no intention of sitting down. Beside him, Old Master Li gave his son a look and lightly snorted as an acknowledgment.

"You’ve eaten already? That’s really a shame. Then again, the food here has a certain taste; you might have trouble digesting it." Li Ronghuan wasn’t bothered, as long as Madam Li wasn’t having a good time, he felt better. If his nephew didn’t eat, so be it. After all, his nephew didn’t like it, no need to force him.

"Did you come from Dan Gui Garden? How is Old Man Xia’s health? Is he doing well?" Li Ronghuan asked while eating his breakfast. "I should be paying a New Year visit to the old man, but I doubt Old Man Xia cares to see someone from the Li family like me. If real sons-in-law don’t visit, why should I? Better not to bother the old man."

He didn’t come to the Li family dinner last night; probably went to Old Man Xia’s place. Without the Li family, it truly makes no difference to his nephew; he still has a home to return to.

The Li family, huh, the Li residence is nothing!

"Yes, I came from there," Li Jinnian responded indifferently, then added, "Uncle, you finish breakfast with grandpa and grandma first, I will offer incense to grandpa and grandma later."

"If your grandparents knew how respectful our Jinnian is, they would surely bless you." Li Ronghuan was quite fond of Li Jinnian’s attitude, unlike his elder brother, who thought he could stay out of it. Is that possible?

He quickly finished his breakfast and along with Li Jinnian placed the spirit tablets on the altar.

After offering three sticks of incense respectfully, Li Ronghuan then said, "Jinnian, come with your uncle for a chat. Brother, you entertain the guests well, it’s what you enjoy doing most."

Old Master Li looked at his good-for-nothing brother, with a somewhat heavy gaze. If it weren’t for needing him to deal with the troublesome Madam Li, he would not even want to speak to him.

Dealing with those who have no shame, Li Ronghuan’s approach is indeed the best.

With a cold face, Old Master Li gave Li Jinnian a once over before nodding, "You can leave now, no one will stop you."

"Hahaha, this is my home, why the hell should I leave? Steward, bring two cups of tea to my study, I have some catching up to do with my nephew!" Li Ronghuan intentionally raised his voice, even Madam Li in the room heard it.

With that said, he put an arm around Li Jinnian’s shoulder, not caring whether Li Jinnian was willing or not, and headed straight to the study, "Come on, come on, it’s rare for you to be back, we uncle and nephew must have a good chat."

Li Jinnian didn’t refuse; he still needed to know if the Li family had taken any action against his sister, Ye Jian.

Old Master Li watched the pair leave arm in arm, the shadows in his eyes growing darker. He thought back to past rumors. No smoke without fire—if there was truly nothing, would people talk?

Heh!

Of course not!

Flies don’t sting seamless eggs!

The gloom in his gaze made Li Ronghuan feel like throwing a shoe at him, but in the end, he restrained himself. "I truly can’t stand your father’s character. You, you should come back less in the future! This place, it’s distressing each time you visit."

The study they headed to used to belong to Old Master Li, but now that Old Master Li had passed away, the study naturally fell to Li Ronghuan, the son who still lived in the Li estate.
