"Grandfather even invited for breakfast. Just as a guest arrived, he wasn’t feeling well, so he asked and the butler to accompany the guest for a walk, which delayed a bit."
Chi Enen didn’t ntion that the guest happened to be one of his admirers, who openly confessed her love for him in front of her, and even when she accidentally fell, she turned the bla on her, claiming it was Chi Enen who tripped her. In the end, it really did beco her fault.
Li Beijue didn’t notice that so details had been left out. His full attention was drawn to the first part of Chi Enen’s explanation. "Guest? What guest?"
Not to ntion, the old man not only invited Chi Enen for breakfast but also made her entertain the guest? What was the old man playing at?
"Scarlett. It seems she’s a princess."
Li Beijue had no recollection of Scarlett or Wang Jiali, but the words "princess" left an impression!
He rembered that earlier today, when he returned, there was an obnoxious, ugly woman blocking his car door, chattering endlessly, trying to give him red wine.
At the ti, the people around the ugly woman seed to address her as "Your Highness."
So, that woman went to visit the old man?
Li Beijue’s falcon-like eyes narrowed, his mood far from pleasant.
He didn’t like strangers intruding on his personal territory, but the Li family did have nurous investnt collaborations with the royal family. He couldn’t just chase her away when she ca to visit.
Fine. She was the old man’s guest, so let the old man deal with her.
As long as she didn’t bother him!
Now that Li Beijue had figured out where Chi Enen had gone and confird that she hadn’t been threatened by Old Master Li, the weight on his heart was lifted. He completely dismissed the ntion of the princess as irrelevant and forgot about it the next mont.
Grabbing Chi Enen’s hand, he headed back...

Elsewhere, in a luxury-suite-style guest room.
"If Your Highness needs anything, please feel free to instruct the servants. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now." The old butler, having settled everything, spoke courteously.
The maiden sitting on the sofa had bright, lively eyes, radiating cuteness and innocence. "I don’t need anything else. Sorry to trouble you, Butler. If it’s possible, please pass along my gratitude. Thank Grandpa Li for hosting for a few days."
"Your Highness is too kind. I will relay your gratitude to Old Master Jue. Please rest well." The old butler spoke with a asured tone, then excused himself and thoughtfully closed the room door behind him.
As soon as the door shut, the adorable little princess from earlier instantly put on a different face, her expression haughty as she barked angrily at the female officer nearby, "Can’t you see my knees hurt? Hurry up and get a cup of water!"
The female officer seed accustod to her dual personality, apologizing while quickly running to pour her a cup of water. "Your Highness, here’s the water."
Taking a sip, her expression finally softened a little.
But the hand holding the water cup gripped it tightly!
Never in her life had she been treated like this. That woman was unbelievably bold to actually trip her and make her fall to the ground.
Every ti Scarlett thought about how she had been gloating, only to be promptly and unceremoniously tripped onto the ground, her knee hitting the gravel path, a fla seed to burn fiercely in her chest. To make matters worse, her knee was still faintly aching!
Who exactly was that woman, to be so rude to her?!
If she found out that woman’s identity was nothing special, she would definitely teach her a lesson, show her that she wasn’t soone to be trifled with!
But... what exactly was that woman’s identity?
