He warms Florence Li’s heart suddenly. Her eyes shine with a crescent smile and she strokes Nelson’s fleshy little face. She says with a smile, “Honey, no one bullies your mum, and I am not sad. Now let me take you to see the grandpa, OK?” “Okay!” Since she started her exile, she has not visited the tomb of the old man. She didn’t dare to go back even when the old man died in order to elude Brian. She actually has no way to know his burial site. But Bonnie told her just now specially. Bonnie is the old man’s only daughter, although her mother is not his first wife. At that time, many mistresses didn’t really love him but just loved his money. When they found that they were pregnant with a daughter, most mistresses would choose to kill the child or put the blame on other mistresses.
The old man knew that afterwards, so he managed to save Bonnie and kept her around. But in contrast, Florence has always been protected openly by the old man. Therefore, it can make sense that she hates Florence so much. On the way to the cemetery, Li buys some incenses and walks heavily into it. Nelson holds her hand and stands in front of the tombstone. He looks around and then curls ups his lips. “Mum, I think we should go to see the grandpa. Is he here? ” Li shrinks and suddenly doesn’t know how to answer the question. She squats down slowly and leans her face against him. It seems that she can absorb some warmth and strength in this way.
“Yes, he is here. The grandpa is very kind to me. Honey, kowtow to him, OK?” Nelson is a good boy. He will do whatever his mum says. There are many things she wants to say, but she doesn’t know how to begin. She can’t call him father because she’s sorry for him and she is not qualified, either. “Honey, call grandpa.” “Grandpa, Nelson is coming to see you.” Li is having bitter and mixed feelings at the moment. The old man loves her very much, it’s true. And for her, he is unscrupulous and reviled many times. She bows deeply three times. Just after finishing this action, she hears Rodney ‘s voice coming from afar. She is shocked and hurriedly takes Nelson away. The voice appears at the entrance, so she can only take her son to hide behind a tree not far away.
When they get closer, Li pats her head suddenly. She was too hurried to remember to pack up the sacrifices just now. Nelson whispers, “Mum, why does that uncle come here?” Li motions him to keep salient. She clasps Nelson and leans against the back of the tree. She is back on Brian at the moment. Their driver leaves soon and Rodney still stands aside. Brian stares at the incenses and sacrifices in front of the tombstone with his eyebrows slightly knotted. He knows that Florence Li had come. He is lost in thought for a moment. His slender body stands upright, while Rodney is waiting for him. “Rodney, the old man carefully arranged so many things for Florence, even specially prepared a fake will for Baron. What do you think the old man did behind my back?” His voice is normal. Although he is asking Rodney, in fact, he is asking himself.
Rodney replies respectfully, “Mr. Si, I think Baron should be powerless, so he showed his last tactics. But at present, it seems that he should have other methods. We still need to be on guard against him.” It is not unreasonable. The only way for Baron to restrain him is making good use of Florence Li. Now he does it well and that stupid woman actually has fallen into his trap. Remembering Li’s performances at the wedding last time, Brian narrows his eyes. He chuckles and says, “Even if he makes good use of the method, at least Austin is trapped.” Speaking of this, Rodney says with a pity, “In fact, you should have made it clear with Miss Li last time that you didn’t do anything about Austin. This misunderstanding will become a heart knot between you two, and she may always misunderstand you. ”
Brian frowns and says coldly, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care. She can do anything she like.” “Mr.Si, I have to say something you may not like. You could care nothing about Miss Li before, but now you can’t. From… ” His words are soon interrupted by Brian before he finishes saying, “Rodney, you have said too much today.” Florence hears everything and she cannot come to her senses because of the shock. She is shocked that Baron is the mastermind of the incident, but Brian doesn’t want to explain it. At that time, he clearly had the opportunity to explain. If he had explained, she would have believed it. Li is a little annoyed that she was too arbitrary in the past. In fact, Brian is most deeply hurt by all the things that happened at the wedding that day.
But at the same time, she is also disappointed with Baron. She used to trust him so much that she almost entrusts Nelson to him. Li shows the scars of what happened in his house that day. It makes her feel cold in the back, how scheming Baron is! She doesn’t know how many false masks he has on his face. Li leaves the cemetery with her son, and she is going to find Baron because of her anger. But she happens to meet him on the way. It makes her feel a little strange that three people all appear in the cemetery today. Baron also sees her. He smiles at her, and still puts on his usual friendly look. If she didn’t know that he planned everything at the wedding, Florence Li would smile back, but now she is full of anger.
Before he opens his mouth, Florence has rushed directly to him. “Why did you cheat me?” “What?” Baron doesn’t know that she learns about everything, and still pretends not to understand her words. Li looks at him coldly, “Did you deliberately inform the police to go to the wedding site and make Austin infamous?” Baron doesn’t want to put on an act in front of her any more now, so he shows her his true self. He says with a light smile on his face, “You want to query me because of this? Florence LI, don’t you think it has helped you? ” He slowly puts his hands into his pockets and laughs, “Or do you care about Brian? How did he treat you and your son? Remember it?” “You don’t need to make mischief.” Florence Li says sternly, with a very cautious look. She is no longer as unprepared in front of him as before.
