Every dish on the table looked and smelled great, making one's appetite whet just by looking at them.
Unfortunately, Li Xiao was the only one who was in the mood to eat at this moment.
She had nothing to do, so she came back just in time for dinner. So she was in a very good mood.
Chan Ka-yin silently ate the few grains of rice in her bowl. As a female star, in order to maintain her figure, she usually ate very little starchy food. At most, she would eat a mouthful of rice every meal. From time to time, she looked up at Lê Nam Giệu with hidden bitterness.
In the past few days, Nan Jue had not said a word to her, giving her a cold shoulder. Even the reason why he was willing to stay for dinner with her tonight was because of his daughter, Phil. Thinking of the cold atmosphere at home, Chan Ka-yin felt that she was going to suffocate.
She felt very wronged. She had clearly explained to Nan Jue. Why didn't he trust her? Obviously, he often missed Xu Manqin these days and tried his best to compensate Li Xiao.
The more she thought about it, the more pitiful she felt. Her original guilt gradually disappeared and was replaced by dissatisfaction and resentment towards Lê Nam Giệu.
Li Qianfei saw his mother's teary eyes and felt very distressed.
"Dad, did you secretly bully mom when I wasn't here?" She complained in a coquettish tone, which had always been Li Qianfei's best style. Even if he knew that she was lying, he couldn't bear to scold her.
Lê Nam Giệu looked indifferent. "Your mother knows what she has done."
In the past few days, as long as he went out, he would be looked at with sympathy. Everyone knew that he had been cuckolded by Ren Xiaotang. They comforted him on the surface, but who knew how many people secretly laughed at him for not being able to control his own wife. Especially when such a thing happened less than a year after they got married. Many people even laughed at him for being blind.
Lê Nam Giệu's pride as a man had been shattered time and time again. Under these circumstances, it would be strange if he could forgive Chan Ka-yin so easily. Unfortunately, Chan Ka-yin had been acting as if she had been wronged and hurt by his heartlessness. She was no longer as gentle and considerate as before.
Compared to his infatuated ex-wife … Lê Nam Giệu's dissatisfaction with Chan Ka-yin began to take root in his heart. Although Man Qin's actions were vicious, it was because she loved him too much that she did it.
Of these two, one felt that she had been wronged and was unwilling to accept it, while the other felt that the other party did not love her that much and had a grudge against her. As a result, this couple, who used to show off their love for each other in the past few days, showed a state of indifference.
Li Qianfei gritted his teeth. 'Dad gave 10% of the shares to Li Xiao. Can't mom be angry?' Previously, when she heard from her mother that her father was going to give her and her brother 5% of the shares each, she was very happy. She felt that they were indeed her father's most beloved children. However, when she heard the news as soon as she returned to China, her face was directly slapped swollen.
Until now, she still thought that her parents were angry because of the property.
From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Li Xiao with a faint smile on her face. She almost tightened her grip on her chopsticks.
Li Xiao succeeded in sowing discord between her parents. She must be very proud right now, right?
If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to maintain her image in front of her father, Li Qianfei would have already exploded.
Chan Ka-yin did not want her precious daughter to anger Lê Nam Giệu because of her. She hurriedly said, "I'm fine. I was just thinking about the script and was too immersed in it. I couldn't get out of it, that's all. It has nothing to do with your father."
She found an excuse for herself to step down.
Her seemingly reasonable words once again stabbed Lê Nam Giệu's heart. Chan Ka-yin's new movie just happened to be playing a loving couple with Ren Xiaotang. She said that she couldn't get out of the movie. Didn't that mean that she was still immersed in the movie and was deeply in love with Ren Xiaotang?
Therefore, his face darkened, and his body emitted a cold aura. Anyone could see that he was in a very bad mood.
Li Qianfei was even angrier when she saw Su Qingsang's compromising look. Dad really changed … She didn't know what Li Xiao did. In just a short period of time, her father, who used to love her and her children, changed.
No, if this went on, what if her father lost his mind and left all his property to Li Xiao? She and her brother had been wronged for so many years. Would they still have to rely on Li Xiao in the future?
Li Qianfei suddenly had an idea. She could remind her grandmother. Her grandmother loved her and her brother the most. If she knew about this, she would definitely make trouble with her father. Would her father still have the face to be angry with her mother? Moreover, having a common enemy to deal with could also improve the relationship between her grandmother and her mother, so that her mother would not be troubled by the relationship between her mother and her daughter-in-law. The relationship between her grandmother and her mother was very good in the past. Her grandmother was also very protective of them. Li Qianfei couldn't help but miss the past. At that time, although her mother and them couldn't get a status, they were always protected by her father and grandmother. They never suffered.
After coming up with this idea, her eyes revealed a faint smile. She couldn't help but glance at Li Xiao proudly — She would let her be arrogant for a few more days.

Li Xiao was taking a walk in the garden.
She was in a good mood at night. She ate too much, causing her stomach to feel uncomfortable, so she simply took a walk. Li Clan's garden used to be planted with roses. Roses were also Xu Manqin's favorite flowers. After the hostess changed, the garden changed to lilies that Chan Ka-yin liked.
Although Li Xiao hated Chan Ka-yin, she wouldn't vent her anger on innocent flowers. She slowly appreciated the beauty of these flowers. The night added a mysterious color to the lilies, and the lingering fragrance made people feel slightly tipsy.
"Sister." Li Qianfei's clear voice sounded behind her.
Li Xiao turned around and saw that her sister was wearing a rather elegant beige dress. The way she looked at her with curved eyes gave her a sense of innocence.
Li Xiao said, "Are you also taking a walk?"
She was just going to deal with whatever came her way.
Li Qianfei walked to her left. Her doubtful voice was full of innocence. "Hey, sister, aren't you wearing the necklace I gave you?"
Li Xiao said, "It's too heavy. My neck feels uncomfortable."
Li Qianfei: "…"
This reason directly blocked all of her words.
She looked around at the blooming lilies and reached out to pick one of them. Her eyes were full of nostalgia. "This flower reminds me of when I was young."
Li Xiao looked at her quietly, with a look that said, "I'm watching your performance."
Li Qianfei said, "Ten years ago, I saw lilies that were even prettier than this."
"It's just that the environment back then wasn't very good. At that time, I was kidnapped with a little brother. I saw the mountain of lilies in the valley."
Li Xiao listened to Li Qianfei's story. According to her, after she and the little brother were kidnapped, she escaped with the help of the little brother's wit. However, they were chased by soldiers. In order to help the little brother, she cut off her long hair and put on the little brother's clothes to lead the soldiers away. The little brother also gave her a necklace, which was the one she gave Li Xiao.
Li Xiao asked, "Since this necklace is so important to you, why do you have to give it to me?"
Li Qianfei said sincerely, "Because sister is also very important to me. So I want to give my beloved item to you. I hope that we can be good sisters for the rest of our lives. "
Li Xiao said, "Oh, thank you."
She should be thanking her for giving her two billion yuan for free.
Li Qianfei frowned slightly. She was a little dissatisfied with her indifferent attitude, but she couldn't show it. She lowered her eyes and clenched her fists slightly. She had already said what she needed to say. Now it was up to her sister to decide what to do.
She watched as Li Xiao strolled back to her room and let out a long sigh.
She took out her phone and started to look for her grandmother's number.
"Grandma, it's me."
****
Qu Lian hung up the phone. She was so angry that her body kept shaking. If Phil hadn't called her, she wouldn't have known that her son had given 10% of the shares to Li Xiao behind her back. That was 10%!! Not just a few tens of thousands.
How dare he?
As a girl, Li Xiao would get married sooner or later. This meant that the shares of the Li Clan would fall into the hands of outsiders. Moreover, Li Xiao had been led astray by her mother, Xu Manqin. She had been arrogant since she was young and had never been close to her grandmother. What was Nan Jue thinking? Why didn't Chan Ka-yin stop him? He was so useless!
No, she couldn't accept this!
Qu Lian couldn't sit still anymore. She decided to return to S City and stop praying to Buddha. During the New Year this year, she dreamed that the ghost who had died prematurely had said that there were some problems with the feng shui of the Li Clan. She needed to pray to Buddha sincerely to improve the feng shui. At that time, she was in the middle of arguing with her daughter-in-law, so she returned to her hometown and prayed at the ancestral hall every day. Of course, it was also because her relationship with her son had worsened because of Chan Ka-yin. She also needed to take a step back and improve her relationship with her son.
But now, she couldn't stay here calmly anymore. If she stayed any longer, who knew if Nan Jue would give away more of the Li Clan's assets? These were all for her golden grandson!
She immediately asked someone to pack her luggage and book her the earliest flight for tomorrow.
Her nanny, Mrs. Yang, who usually served her, held a thick envelope and said to her, "Madam, this is a letter for you."
Qu Lian frowned. Who would still send letters these days?
She took the envelope. There wasn't even a stamp on it. There were only three printed words on it: Qu Lian.
Qu Lian tore open the envelope. When she saw the photo on the top, she took a deep breath, blacked out, and fainted.

Li Qianfei was humming a happy tune with a smile on her face.
Lê Nam Giệu, who was originally in a bad mood, also smiled when she saw her daughter like this. "Phil, do you miss Grandma so much?"
He received a call from his mother saying that she was coming back today, so he got off work early from the company. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty for his mother, who had been praying to Buddha in their hometown for half a year.
Chan Ka-yin said gently, "I made a few dishes that Mom likes to eat, but I haven't made them for a long time. I'm afraid that Mom won't be used to them."
Lê Nam Giệu looked at her gentle appearance and her heart softened. "Mom has always liked your cooking. She won't have any objections."
For a moment, the tense atmosphere between the couple became harmonious.
Li Qianfei, who was humming a tune, looked at Li Xiao, who was playing with her phone in boredom. The smile on her face deepened. "Sister, you haven't seen Grandma for a long time, right?"
Li Xiao nodded and looked up at her with a big smile. "Grandma is too lonely in her hometown. I think it's better for her to move back here. Aunt can be filial to Grandma."
Chan Ka-yin's gentle smile froze when she heard this. Her mother-in-law was not an easy person to serve. If she lived under the same roof as her, she was afraid that she would be tortured to death in the future.
Lê Nam Giệu's heart moved. He thought that Li Xiao's idea was not bad.
"Jiayin, after filming this movie, you should rest at home and accompany Mom."
As long as she didn't film, Jiayin wouldn't be in contact with Ren Xiaotang often.
Li Qianfei was very dissatisfied. What was wrong with Dad? Why was he so stubborn? Mom only had one hobby, but he didn't want to support her. What was the difference between him and those straight men? However, she was most angry with Li Xiao. She dared to drive a wedge between them in front of her.
"Dad, Mom only has one hobby. Why do you have to deprive her of it? If she retires, her tens of millions of fans will cry to death. "
Lê Nam Giệu's face darkened. He was about to reprimand her, but he was interrupted by Li Qianfei's surprised voice.
"Ah! Grandma is back! "
A luxury car drove into the courtyard. A few minutes later, Qu Lian's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Li Qianfei looked at her grandmother's angry face. She was looking forward to the next conflict. Grandma was an elder. If she scolded Li Xiao, Li Xiao could only listen obediently.
She watched as Grandma walked over angrily. She didn't even greet her father.
A crisp slap sounded. Judging from the sound, it was a real slap. Half of Chan Ka-yin's face was red and swollen.
Li Qianfei was stunned. Her eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe it.
Shouldn't she have slapped Li Xiao? Why did she slap her mother? Didn't Grandma come back to settle accounts with Li Xiao?
