Becoming Audacious After Marriage: Madam, Please Keep A Low Profile Chapter 39
Advertisement
Li Beichen did not say anything. He just sat there with his long legs crossed, his aura incomparably arrogant. If anything, his powerful aura did not have the respect a descendant should have towards his elders.
In the blink of an eye, the benevolence in Li Guowei's eyes disappeared without a trace. His cold gaze towards Li Beichen was terrifyingly unfamiliar.
Given how observant Shi Yuxuan was, she did not miss Li Guo's change in attitude.
He did not seem to like his grandson.
Furthermore, Li Beichen did not say a word to Old Master Li at all.
The two of them were like enemies.
However, this was reasonable. After all, Li Beichen was the one who ruthlessly sent Li Beiming to prison.
Although Li Guowei was the chairman of the Yuzun Group and had great power, he had aged. No matter what methods he used, he could not compare to Li Beichen's ruthlessness. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Li Beiming was sent to prison.
At the dining table, the old and the young were against each other, causing the atmosphere to be tense. Coupled with Li Nana's glare, this meal was not harmonious at all.
The torturous meal time was finally over. She initially thought that she could go upstairs to rest, but Old Master Li said that he wanted to talk to her alone.
The butler led Yuxuan around the sparkling lake and they walked towards a pavilion by the lake.
From afar, she could see that there was someone inside. He was standing with his hands behind his back as if he was admiring the full moon hanging above the tree.
"Old Master, Ms. Shi is here." The butler walked in slowly and bowed as he said softly.
Although the old man's hair was white, he looked energetic and turned around with a smile.

"You were looking for me?" Yuxuan puckered her lips and smiled lightly, and then she nodded slightly. She was slightly nervous as she was deeply afraid of being rude.
Old Master Li narrowed his eyes and sized her up from head to toe. He beckoned Yuxuan over.
Yuxuan couldn't figure out why Old Master Li specially called her here and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Taking in a deep breath, she tried to make herself less tense and calmed herself down before entering the pavilion.
"What a bright and obedient child." Old Master Li chuckled and said to the butler beside him, "That rascal has good taste."
"That's right. Although Second Young Master is usually cold and indifferent, he actually has many ideas." The butler also smiled and agreed.
It was out of her expectations that Old Master Li would praise her like this. Seeing that he was in a good mood, Yuxuan naturally became less reserved
Old Master Li sat opposite Yuxuan and casually chatted about his daily life. He talked about Li Beichen's mischievous past when he was young and also about the interesting things he experienced in his early years.
This old man was a chatterbox when it came to family matters. He had endless things to say. Even though Yuxuan was dispirited, the atmosphere made her feel very relaxed.
After that, she accompanied Old Master Li to walk along the cobblestone path. Li Guowei then talked about Li Beichen.
Yuxuan thought that since he did not like this grandson of his much, he would put him down in front of her. However, she did not expect that from the beginning to the end, Li Guowei had been talking about the good things of Li Beichen.
Yuxuan did not understand what kind of relationship these two had.

The wind was cold at night and the butler was worried about Old Master Li's health. He had no choice but to interrupt their pleasant conversation and he spent a lot of time persuading Old Master Li to go back.
Before returning to the house, Old Master Li gave Yuxuan a bracelet. This bracelet was white and green in colour and it seemed to gleam against the light of the moon. When it came into contact with her skin, it felt cool, and it was very comfortable.
Although Yuxuan was the daughter of the Shi family and she had seen many expensive and luxurious items, she was still amazed by the exquisite appearance of the bracelet.
Old Master Li told her that this bracelet was for his future granddaughter-in-law.
