The Li family’s old residence.
Old Master Li was drinking water with Li Nantian, while Li Qiyun sat beside them occasionally easing the atmosphere, chatting about so anecdotes from Rainy City.
Right at this mont, a servant suddenly rushed in, leaned over and whispered sothing into the old butler’s ear.
The old butler frowned imdiately, glanced in the direction of Old Master Li, seeming hesitant about whether to speak. Soon, he made a decision, walked over to the hale and hearty old man, bent over, and whispered sothing into his ear. Old Master Li’s stern and solemn face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the reception room abruptly froze!
Li Qiyun, sitting on the other sofa, vaguely heard words like Miss Chi and banquet, but she didn’t clearly hear what the old butler specifically said.
After the old butler finished speaking, he respectfully stepped aside.
The previously slow-paced tea-drinking Old Master Li suddenly stood up, and casually instructed, "Nantian, co upstairs with ."
"Okay." Li Nantian stood up with him and turned his head to Li Qiyun next to him, saying, "Wait here for a while, we’ll leave together."
"Alright."
Li Qiyun watched the two of them go upstairs.
Her beautiful eyes showed a trace of thoughtfulness as she sat down.
At this ti, the old butler noticed that Old Master Li had left his dragon-head walking stick behind, and was about to take it up.
Just then, Li Qiyun stood up and offered, "Did Grandfather forget to take it? Let help deliver it upstairs. Besides, I also forgot to tell Grandfather sothing."
Just now, she had been focusing on easing the tension between her dad and Old Master, and forgot to report to the Old Master about the financial status of the subsidiary she was handling.
There was a company she was planning to rearrange assets for, and she wanted to ask the Old Master for his opinion.
The old butler, seeing her so proactive, couldn’t refuse her, so he handed the walking stick to her, saying, "Thank you, Miss Qiyun."
Li Qiyun returned a smile, took the walking stick, and said, "It’s no trouble."
"Then I’ll go up first."
"Alright."
Li Qiyun took Old Master Li’s walking stick and went up to the second floor.
The second floor was full of bodyguards, but since they recognized her, they did not stop her.
Li Qiyun walked through the splendid corridor, just arriving outside Old Master Li’s room, about to knock on the door.
She heard voices from inside.
"Qiyun is not young anymore, when do you plan to let her marry?"
"I’ve got my eye on a young man, planning to let them have a blind date first to see." It was her dad’s voice.
Li Qiyun did not expect the Old Master specifically asked her dad to co up to discuss her matters. Feeling both surprised and flattered, she pressed her red lips together.
Just about to push the door, she heard Old Master Li’s voice, "Arrange for them to et as soon as possible. If there are no objections from both sides, it would be best to have the wedding within this year."
"Why so urgent?"
"I have my reasons, just do as I say!"
Li Nantian seed dissatisfied with this arrangent, his voice rising slightly, "Dad, I hope Qiyun’s marriage is because she likes it, not for the sake of the family! So, I will still respect her opinion. If she feels the person is suitable and wants to marry him, then proceed. If she doesn’t feel it’s suitable, then forget it."
"I’m not discussing this with you! This is an order!" Old Master Li’s attitude was extrely firm, "Either you do as I say, or I will exile her to Country S, and for ten years, I won’t let her co back! Just these two choices, you decide!"
