3107 Scheme
Li Chenglan frowned. She had a sharp look on her face. “What sort of thing can she do for you? An ungrateful person like her can bite you back at any time! You still want her to help you?”
“Sister, this kind of person likes to climb up the ladder, but she’s not that capable. I have my ways to make her listen to my arrangements obediently. Don’t worry about trouble. When have I ever disappointed you?
“Leave Sun Ying to me. Sister, I won’t let her kick up a fuss, let alone return to your side to cause trouble for you. Sister, don’t worry. I guarantee that she won’t hinder you.”
Li Chuhai said confidently. Li Chenglan didn’t believe him much. She sneered and said impolitely, “You never disappointed me in the past because there were many things you needed me for.
“Things are different now. In the past, you would tell me everything and I would have to make decisions for you. Now? Li Chuhai, you didn’t even inform me and brought Sun Ying out of the country. You still want me to believe you?
“Okay, if you don’t tell me, I won’t ask. However, I’ll remember what happened today.”
A person with a strong desire to control suddenly realized that someone had done something behind her back without her consent. One could imagine the anger in Li Chenglan’s heart.
Li Chenglan was extremely controlling. She was in charge of everything in the Du family. Even her husband didn’t have any right to question her. Now that Li Chuhai did such a thing behind her back, it had already left a huge knot in Li Chenglan’s heart.
“Sister, you’re already 60 years old. You should rest well. It’s my fault for not telling you in advance about Sun Ying. I apologize to you. But I’ll tell you what I want her to do when the time comes.
“It’s getting late. I still have to catch a plane back to the Southern Province. I’ll come to the capital city to see you next time.”
After saying that, Li Chuhai stood up.
At this moment, Li Chenglan realized that there was a small box on the sofa he was sitting on. A person who came out of nowhere appeared the moment he stood up. He picked up the box and followed respectfully as if the man in front of him was deserving of high respect.
When Li Chuhai, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stood up, his aura changed drastically. He was no longer the filial son who had coaxed Second Old Madam Li just now. He was no longer the younger brother who had lowered his head to apologize to his sister, Li Chenglan. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His body was tall and straight, and his entire form exuded a domineering aura that made people not dare to approach him easily.
Li Chenglan felt that Li Chuhai was extremely unfamiliar. He was so unfamiliar that even his familiar eyes gave off an unfamiliar feeling.
It was as if… he had become a different person.
Madam Li’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately felt fl.u.s.tered.
“Chuhai!” For some reason, Li Chenglan stood up abruptly and asked hurriedly, “Are you going to go to the Southern Province often? Didn’t Mom ask you to focus on the capital city?”
Li Chuhai, who was walking in front, didn’t turn around when he heard this. He just raised his hand and smiled. “The capital city is too full. I can’t squeeze in even if I want to. Also, those familiar people are all here. I don’t like them. I’m not as free here as the Southern Province.
“I’m leaving now. Sister, take care of Mom. I’ll return to the capital city when I’m free.”
What was so good about the capital city?
In his eyes, there was nothing good about this place. Every time he met an acquaintance, he couldn’t help but recall how much of a failure he was 18 years ago. In the end, he even had to escape overseas in a sorry state.
