Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again!

He really left!
Left without looking back!
Chi Enen watched the tall and handsome figure disappear through the main entrance, took a deep breath, and forced a smile as she spoke to the old butler beside her, “Could you please lead me there?”
“Miss Chi, are you alright?” The old butler was a bit worried about her, considering she was a young woman who had just encountered a series of unexpected events, and the young master was angry too. Anyone would feel uncomfortable under these circumstances. “The young master, he…”
Chi Enen quickly said, “I know Li Beijue’s temper. He’s just angry right now, but he’ll be fine soon. I’ll go see Grandfather first.”
The old butler looked at her with newfound respect and walked ahead to lead the way, “Alright, Miss Chi, please follow me.”
They passed through the courtyard-style garden that resembled a park and reached the European-style castle building. Chi Enen followed the old butler up to the second floor.
“Miss Chi, please wait a moment.”
The old butler raised his hand and knocked on the door, “Master Jue.”
“Come in.”
The voice of the elderly man inside was robust, without any hint of age.
The old butler unlocked the room door with a fingerprint scan and stood aside while opening the door, “Miss Chi, please.”
Chi Enen was already prepared and entered calmly and composedly.
Once she was inside, the old butler followed and closed the door with a click.
Old Master Li was sitting on the sofa brewing tea, and he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. When he saw that she had come alone, he raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. He withdrew his gaze and continued to focus intently on making tea.
Chi Enen stood quietly on the opposite side, neither sitting nor disturbing him.
Old Master Li was meticulous in making tea, taking ten minutes just to wash the tea set.
Holding a bright and expensive teacup in his left hand, he spoke without raising his head, “Do you know why I want to see you?”
“I know.”
“Oh, why?”
“At the banquet, because I embarrassed Li Beijue and the Li family.”
Chi Enen spoke directly, without any intention of shirking responsibility or defending herself.
She hadn’t done anything, and she was completely unaware of the sudden situation, but she truly caused damage to Li Beijue’s and the Li family’s reputation.
As a junior member and Li Beijue’s fiancée, she had a duty to apologize to the old master.
“I’m sorry, Grandfather.” Chi Enen bowed.
Old Master Li was holding back his anger, but seeing her consecutive actions, the fury was momentarily restrained, and it didn’t burn as hot.
“If apologies were useful, what would be the need for police officers?” Old Master Li finally looked at her directly, set down the teacup, and spoke bluntly, “Given the situation at the time, if I were you, I would have temporarily agreed to give money, then immediately have security guards escort the person out. Instead of staying silent and letting the situation escalate! As for that money, whether it’s given later or not, isn’t that up to you?”
“I’m sorry.”
Chi Enen understood this principle. When Chi Jianguo and Gu Qiaomei asked her for money, she thought of this way to handle it.
But she couldn’t do it.
Chi Jianguo and Gu Qiaomei were the murderers who killed her mom. Even pretending to give the money was something she couldn’t do.
Old Master Li had long investigated her, and he knew her background well. He was also aware of the shady deeds done by Gu Qiaomei and Chi Jianguo. Hearing Chi Enen’s apology indicated her inner thoughts to him. With his subdued anger and eyes seemingly penetrating people’s minds, he continued, “How do you think I might deal with you?”
