Chapter 30
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xuanyu Pavilion, Li Family Manor.
A spirited old man in fancy old-fashioned robes was sitting on the chair, studying an ancient-looking book in his hand.
It didn’t take long for Uncle Yan’s respectful tone to reach his ears through the outside door. “Master, Young Master is here.”
“Bring him in.”
Hearing Uncle Yan, the old man replied rather indifferently.
Li Mubai slowly stepped inside, and his gaze stayed on the old man for a couple of seconds.
This old man was the current Patriarch of the Li family and his grandfather, Li Kunyuan.
His eyes flashed and an attribute panel appeared before him.
[Character]: Li Kunyuan
[Identity]: The current Patriarch of the Li family
[Charm]: 88
[Qi Luck]: 500
[Cultivation]: Late Stages of Hua-Jin Realm
[Cheats]: None
“Um…”
Li Mubai couldn’t help but squint his brows.
He didn’t expect his supposed grandfather to be a Master at the late stages of Hua-Jin!
He also knew that Li Kunyuan was once an influential figure in the country who had served in the military.
It would be a joke if he had no cultivation base instead.
As for his father who was currently serving in the military, he too was pretty good at Martial arts!
His father’s potential for learning Martial arts was way higher than his grandpa’s!
In the Li family, the status and identities of his father and grandfather were extremely incredible, to say the least.
However, when it came to him, he was just a rich second-generation playboy who would only enjoy his life and wait for his death.
His grandpa doesn’t seem to be that concerned for him.
When Li Mubai told his grandpa he wasn’t interested to learn Martial arts but wanted to do business, he immediately approved his decision.
But with how things currently turned out, he was his only remaining heir in the Li family.
What Li Mubai wasn’t aware of was that his grandpa wasn’t convinced to pass the Li family to his hands…
“Grandson, you’re here.”
Li Kunyuan who was sitting in the chair put down the ancient-looking book in his hand at this time and shifted his gaze to Li Mubai.
As he had been in a respected position for a long time, his voice always carried a sense of calmness along with weight.
However, he was now tenderly looking at Li Mubai.
In the entire Li family, only Li Mubai had this kind of privilege.
Not even Li Mubai’s father could receive such treatment as the old man was more stringent to him.
Could this be the doting of a grandfather?…
Li Mubai helplessly thought to himself. He then nodded his head and offered his greetings.
“Um… Good afternoon grandpa.”
Before his transmigration, Li Mubai neither had a father nor a mother. He spent his entire childhood in an orphanage and didn’t even get to see his own grandfather.
Now that he got a caring and doting old man to be his grandfather, it didn’t actually seem that bad…
“Haha, You’ve become such an obedient child since I’ve last seen you.” Li Kunyuan chuckled as he had indeed spoiled the previous Li Mubai but never did he receive such a polite greeting from his grandson.
“I have come to know about the assassin that the Xiao family sent after you…”
Li Kunyuan slowly spoke in a resentful tone. “Since I set a marriage contract between you and Xiao Qingcheng, the Xiao family made rapid progress and had been cocky in Jinghai. But, I didn’t expect them to have the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog[1]. This time they even dared to eye the head of their own benefactors…
“It seems that my Li family has been staying low-key for too long making these small families of Jinghai look down on us…”
As he continued to speak, Li Kunyuan’s tone revealed killing intent. “I’ll have to deal with this Xiao family this time to regain our prestige. And you too can vent your grievances then…
“What do you think of this, grandson?”
As he told what he had planned, his grandpa, nevertheless, asked for Li Mubai’s opinion.
After all, he was well aware of his grandson Li Mubai pursuing Xiao Qingcheng as he likes her way too much…
Naturally, he also knew that his grandson would more likely tell him to let go of the Xiao family in order to please Xiao Qingcheng.
He was also aware that a couple of days back, Xiao Qingcheng herself made a personal visit to Li Mubai’s villa.
At that time even if he didn’t know of Xiao Qingcheng’s actual purpose for coming there, he didn’t ask the details.
But now that he found out that there was an assassin in Li Mubai’s villa, he naturally understood Xiao Qingcheng’s initiative to visit Li Mubai.
As for what happened for the past few days, it might be that his grandson’s wish to embrace the beauty in his arms was fulfilled…
Of course, they must also have promised each other something.
Ugh…
As he thought to himself, the old man couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
With his Li family’s status and his grandson being the Young Master, what kind of woman would say no to him?!
How could his grandson be so obsessed with Xiao Qingcheng?
If Li Mubai’s father was the same as him, his grandpa would have already dug his own grave!
