Li Qiyun sensibly stood up immediately and said, âI understand, Grandfather, please rest early, I wonât disturb you anymore.â
âHmm.â
âIâll come to see you another day.â After she finished speaking, she picked up the bag on the sofa and left.
As soon as she walked out, Li Nantianâs video call came through.
The old butler brought the phone in front of Old Master Li, who looked at it wearily and said, âAnswer it.â
âYes, Master Jue.â The old butler did something, and the mobile video projected onto the wall.
Li Nantianâs face also appeared on the sofa wall.
He seemed to be on an airplane, and the background showed the cabin and the flight attendants. Once connected, the person on the other end immediately furrowed his eyebrows, as if suppressing something hard, and said, âDad, I just received your news. You want Qiyun to get married by next month?â
âI just discussed this issue with her,â Old Master Liâs face showed no signs of weariness, forcefully just like he hadnât rubbed his temple at all, with no room for negotiation.
Li Nantianâs cheek muscles twitched repeatedly, and after a long time he said, âWhy, didnât we agree to give Qiyun one year before? Itâs only been less than two months, why suddenly change your mind?â
âNo reason.â
Li Nantian clearly couldnât accept this answer, his firm and rugged face full of disapproval, âDad! I know Qiyun and Beijue are different in your heart, but you canât treat them so differently, I cannot accept your decision!â
âYou can choose not to accept it, next month Iâll send her to Country S.â Old Master Li said calmly.
Li Nantian didnât expect him to be so determined, forcefully threatening him with the same condition, his cheek muscles twitching repeatedly, and his temple pulsating, saying with a sullen face, âI disagree!â
Old Master Li seemed to have anticipated his response, saying flatly, âYou can disagree, I said before, if not married by next month, Iâll send her to Country S.â
âFurthermore, even if she gets married next month, I hope she settles in Country Y. Just right, there is a Li family business over there, Iâve been wanting to find a suitable person to take over, Qiyunâs ability couldnât be more appropriate.â
âDad, to you, is Qiyun just a tool?! Why suddenly demand her to get married so quickly? Is it because of some cooperation agreement with the Oslo family? Or to promote some plan of the Li family?â Li Nantianâs temple pulsated continuously, his tone unfriendly, âQiyun has always considered you as her grandfather, why canât you treat her as your granddaughter? Is blood relations so important? Important enough to surpass more than twenty years of being together day and night?â
He asked sharply like a knife.
Each word was filled with anger.
Old Master Li remained unmoved, looking at him, expressionless, âYouâre right, blood relations are very important, they can at least avoid many unnecessary troubles.â
âDad!â
âIâve already decided on this matter, what Iâve decided will not change! You can choose to handle it, or you can choose to refuse. Qiyun, I have equally given her the choice.â
âIs that what you call choice? Youâre forcing her!â
Old Master Li interrupted him, forcefully and authoritatively to the extreme, âThen donât force me!â
Li Nantian was jolted by his aura, seemed to calm down somewhat, no longer arguing fiercely, and said with disappointed eyes, âDad, you greatly disappointed me.â
