She Always Loves To Sleep

Chapter 106 Uninvited Guests

 Going downstairs, Mr. Li and Li Chen were already sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

 “Grandpa, uncle.”

Li Jiu pulled out the chair and sat down, and the servant handed over the bowls and chopsticks.

Mr. Li put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Xiaojiu, come with me to Qi's house later."

 “Why are you going to Qi’s house?”

Li Chen asked doubtfully.

Mr. Li said: "Let's discuss the details of Xiaoci and Xiaojiu's engagement."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Li Chen choked, his gentle eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief.

"got engaged?"

He turned to look at Li Jiu, "Xiao Jiu is getting engaged? Why didn't I know when?"

 In the past few days since he came back, he has never heard that Li Jiu has a fiancé?

Mr. Li said calmly: "Yesterday."

 Yesterday, yesterday?

Mr. Li told him what happened last night.

"Dad, are you... a little hasty?"

Li Chen frowned slightly, with some disapproval in his eyes, "This is a matter that affects Xiaojiu's whole life. Dad, isn't it inappropriate for you to make such a hasty decision?"

What's more, Xiaojiu doesn't seem to have much affection for Qi Jingci.

 What is the old man thinking?

"It's a bit hasty, but Xiaojiu and Xiaoci are a good match. I think this marriage is good." Mr. Li said.

"Even if they are a good match, then both parties must have feelings for the engagement, otherwise Xiaojiu will not be happy."

Li Chen still couldn't accept it.

Mr. Li snorted, "Who said they have no feelings? I think they have a very good relationship."

Li Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth and silently picked up the rice in his mouth without making a sound.

 “But dad…”

Li Chen frowned and wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Mr. Li.

“Okay Ah Shen, I know what you mean. Aren’t you just worried that there will be problems in the future if there is no affection between Xiaojiu and Xiao Ci?”

Li Chen nodded.

Mr. Li sighed, "I'm not a stubborn person who insists on tying the two of them together. I just want them to give it a try. Relationships can be cultivated."

Mr. Li glanced at him sideways, "Besides, you'd better take good care of your two sons first. How old are they? I didn't even bring back a granddaughter-in-law!" Li Chen coughed lightly, "Dad, they are young people. We elders should not interfere casually with your feelings.”

“Then don’t interfere in Xiaojiu’s affairs.”

Li Chen said in a deep voice: "...Dad, Xiaojiu is a girl, so she is different. I am worried that she will suffer a disadvantage."

Mr. Li was angry: "Are you still worried that I will sell my granddaughter?"

Li Chen quickly said: "No, I don't mean that."

Mr. Li snorted coldly.

Li Chen lowered his head. Although he still felt uncomfortable, he didn't speak again.

“Dad, brother, you are all here.”

 A familiar voice sounded, and the atmosphere suddenly became colder.

Li Chen put down his chopsticks and looked at the visitor with an unkind expression, "What are you doing here?"

Li Hong was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a meticulous tie, and his whole body was docile.

 Li Yun behind him is also in the same formal attire, with delicate and decent makeup on his face.

 It seemed that the father and daughter were just going to work.

I just don’t know what I’m going to do when I suddenly come to my old house.

A smile appeared on Li Hong's face, "Brother, didn't I hear that you are back? Didn't I come to see you?"

Li Chen sneered, his face no longer gentle, and said: "Look at me? Where were you when I came back on the first day?"

Li Hong's face stiffened and he said with a smile: "The company is too busy these days and I really can't spare any time."

Mr. Li suddenly interrupted: "Since you don't have time, go ahead and get busy."

Li Yun was a little unhappy, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Dad specially made time to be with you."

Mr. Li: "No need."

Li Yun's expression was already unbearable, but Li Hong was much thicker-skinned than her.

He pulled her to sit down directly and said, "Dad, I've been too busy to come see you recently. I just want to have a nice meal with you today."

 After the two of them sat down, the atmosphere at the table was particularly strange.

　No one spoke, only the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks was heard.

In the end, Li Hong couldn't hold his temper any longer. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Jiu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, how are you doing recently?"
