Chapter 3797: Cold-Blooded Exploitation

Editor: Henyee Translations

When Second Old Madam Li found out the truth, she cried with joy. Li Jinnian, who was upstairs, listened to a servant’s whispered report.

“Old Master Li gave out these orders in the study room. The butler was guarding the study room, so I couldn’t get close. That day, for some reason, Old Master Li suddenly asked Minister Li if you would be coming home soon and what friends you had made. Minister Li said that if he wished to know, he might as well ask you personally.

“There are fewer people coming in and out of the house than in the first half of the year. Recently, it has been even quieter. No guests have come. However, Old Master Li did go out a few times. Every time he came back, he didn’t look good.

“Once, Old Master Li’s study wasn’t closed properly. I happened to pass by and heard him mentioning the Fu family. Other than that, I didn’t see Old Master Li doing anything else.”

The servant explained everything he knew and stood at the side quietly. He was an old servant of the Li family. When Li Jinnian’s mother was alive, he was still in the Li family. He helped Li Jinnian pay attention to Old Master Li because he wanted to repay Li Jinnian’s mother for her kindness.

It also allowed Li Jinnian to have a pair of eyes in the Li family.

Ever since he knew that Li Chuhai was the culprit who killed his aunt, threw Ye Jian into the village, and even instructed Ye Zhifan to raise Ye Jian into a wastrel, Li Jinnian started to pay attention to Old Master Li’s movements.

Based on his understanding of Old Master Li, he wouldn’t accept the death of his youngest son so calmly. He would definitely do something.

This concerned the Fu family and Ye Jian. The last time Li Jinnian came back, he went back to the Li family’s residence and contacted this servant.

After listening to the servant’s report, Li Jinnian didn’t let him stay in his room for too long. After the servant left, Li Jinnian stood by the window quietly. He pursed his thin lips tightly and looked into the distance for a long time without moving.

After asking some useful questions, Li Jinnian only came out of his room at 5:00 pm. He still had to rush home to accompany the old man.

The arrogant laughter of a young man could be heard from the living room downstairs. There was also the surprised voice of a woman. It seemed that the young man had snatched something from the woman, which angered her.

“Alright, stop kicking up a fuss. The old master is old and can’t stand it. Hao, return your phone to your sister. You’re almost graduating from university. Why are you still acting like a child?”

Li Jinnian, who was preparing to go downstairs, stopped in his tracks when he heard the gentle voice. The boisterous young man and woman were his half-brother and half-sister. The woman who spoke was his stepmother.

She was a stepmother who was afraid that he would snatch her son and daughter’s assets when he returned to the Li family.

Second Old Madam Li smiled kindly. “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Just let them kick up a fuss. The old master won’t be unhappy.”

“Mom, don’t spoil them. One of them will graduate from university next year and the other is already a sophomore. Other people’s children are all mature and steady, but the two of them are still like children. I’m anxious when I see this. I wonder when they’ll become sensible.”

“Alright, just let them kick up a fuss when they’re at home,” Old Master Li said. The siblings hugged his right hand and his left hand. Old Master Li laughed continuously.

Li Jinnian went downstairs calmly. The first person to notice him was Li Hao. When he saw his half-brother going out, his facial expression changed slightly. His features were similar to Li Jinnian’s but not as exquisite. Then, he raised his voice as he spoke with a smile, “Brother, you’re back. Did Ya Ya and I disturb you?”

The moment he raised his voice, the noisy living room fell silent.
