Right at this moment, the Old Master, who had been focused on trimming the branches, suddenly spoke, âDo you know why every potted plant needs regular pruning?â
Li Qiyun knew he never said anything unnecessary, and every word he spoke carried special meaning, so she lowered her head and said, âI donât know.â
With the scissors in his hand, the Old Master cut a branch without turning his head and said, âBecause some branches grow too ambitiously, their leaves grow too long, disrupting the overall style of the potted plant. Moreover, if the branches grow outward, they will only grow bigger and more unruly. So if they are not pruned regularly, they will not only ruin the shape of the potted plant but also absorb the nutrients of other branches. Understand?â
Li Qiyun sensed there was more to his words, but she didnât show it and simply responded with a nod.
The Old Master put down the scissors in his hand, wiped his hands with a towel nearby, and only then looked up and said, âSit down, I heard you are getting along well with Oslo?â
Li Qiyun sat across from him, a servant brought her favorite drink, she took a sip from the cup, âYes, quite well. We have many similar hobbies.â
âVery good.â The Old Master didnât lift an eyelid as he looked at her and said calmly, âGet married next month.â
The cup in Li Qiyunâs hand shook violently, nearly crashing to the ground. She looked at the hale and hearty old man in disbelief.
However, the Old Master showed no intention of changing his mind, his authoritative face full of the marks of time and an undeniable force, âIâll let you choose the day, you can also pick a day with him. It shouldnât be beyond next month, any day will do. Once youâve decided, inform the Public Relations Department, and they will announce the news of your upcoming wedding.â
âDuring this month before the wedding, you donât need to worry about the overseas affairs of the Wealthy W Country, Iâll have someone handle it. All you need to do is focus on preparing for the wedding.â
This wasnât a question; it was a direct order!
Li Qiyunâs expression kept changing, and it took half a moment to meet the Old Masterâs authoritative gaze, âGrandfather, didnât you agree with Dad to give me a year?â
âThat was before, I indeed planned to give you a year, but Beijue got injured.â The Old Master faintly lifted the coffee in front of him, casually tossing out a line.
Li Qiyunâs face drastically changed. If her makeup wasnât so exquisite, any keen observer would immediately spot her pale face.
She had heard about Beijueâs injury.
Just before receiving the phone call from the Old Butler, sheâd gotten a call informing her about Beijueâs injury.
The Old Master seemed indifferent to her lack of response, calmly continuing, âIn Yun Teng, something as blatant as a hostage situation happened at our Li familyâs branch office, beyond my imagination. Iâm thinking maybe itâs because I havenât tidied up the company for too long that such things occurred.â
âIâve already taken over this matter and sent someone to investigate. I believe it wonât be long before we find out who was so bold.â
âOnce I find out who did it, I will make sure she wakes up to reality.â
Li Qiyunâs eyes flickered as she looked into the old manâs eyes across from her. She realized now, though the Old Master hadnât explicitly said he suspected her, it was clear he was warning her.
But she couldnât understand why the Old Master would immediately associate Beijueâs incident with her?
The Old Master didnât intend to clarify for her, and after he finished speaking, he rubbed his temple and said, âAlright, think about it yourself. Once youâve decided on the time, let the Public Relations Department know. Iâm tired now.â
