Chapter 1095: The Story of Ling and Heng (358)
The Li family.
“Mr. Li, Miss Feng is here, saying that she has just returned from England and came here to see you specially.”
Grandfather Li leaned back on the recliner, raised his eyebrows, and hummed. When he saw Feng Mingzhu walking in from outside, he smiled politely. “Mingzhu, thank you for coming to visit me. I’m very glad you came. You are always a good girl, unlike my grandchildren, who are either busy in the Li Corporation or traveling on business all over the world and don’t come back to see me.”
Feng Mingzhu smiled and said, “They are too busy, and I was not around the last half a year. I heard that you spent a long time in the hospital, but as far as I know, for people at your age, once you overcome a stroke once, you will be able to live a long life. Grandpa Li, you can live at least for another 20 or 30 years.”
Grandfather Li immediately smiled. “That’s very sweet of you. Twenty or thirty years? I am now in my 80’s. I’ll be glad if I can leave without illness and pain. I don’t want to lie in bed all day and be unable to go anywhere. That’ll be torture for me.”
Feng Mingzhu sat by bed with a smile and talked to him for a while, and it didn’t take long for her to deliberately bring the topic to the marriage of Li Nanheng and her sister.
Hearing her mention this, Grandfather Li was still smiling. “Don’t worry. Your sister has married Nanheng. No matter who Nanheng will marry in the future, she is already a member of our family. No matter in name or what, she will no longer be a lonely wandering soul.”
“Grandpa Li, the three-year period will be over soon, right? Does Nanheng have any plan for his future?” Feng Mingzhu changed the topic.
Grandfather Li leaned on the recliner and smiled, looking at her. “Why? Haven’t you given up on Nanheng yet?”
Feng Mingzhu smiled faintly. “Everyone has an obsession. Nanheng is my obsession. No matter how long it takes or how far I go, I can’t give up on him.”
Grandfather Li smiled. “So this time, you came here, hoping that I can set you up. Do you want to go further with Nanheng after the three years are over?”
“If you can give me a chance, I’m willing to do anything for him. Grandpa Li, I really want you to be my grandpa-in-law. I know Nanheng and his cousins are busy and can’t accompany you, but if I marry him, the Li family will be my home, and I can always stay by your side, making you happy and talking with you.” While talking, Mingzhu said sincerely, “Besides, everyone thought that the one who Nanheng married is me. Now I can’t easily find a decent man to marry… Grandpa, the relations.h.i.+p between the Feng family and the Li family has always been close. Can you help me to create more opportunities for Nanheng and me?”
“Haha, okay, I’m very fond of you, and I really cherish the friends.h.i.+p with your family. Since you said so, I’ll take it seriously and talk to Nanheng about it.”
“Grandpa Li, you know Nanheng hasn’t accepted me yet. I’m afraid he won’t easily accept me… Perhaps you can create a chance for us.”
Grandfather Li raised his eyebrows. “What kind of chance?”
“Well, can you give me a chance to approach him…”
Grandfather Li paused, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Well, Nanheng has not mentioned the three-year agreement or your sister the last two times he came back. He just said that he would not consider getting married again after the agreement expires. After all, people all think he has been married. I think he doesn’t have much interest in girls. Even if I create the chance you said, I’m afraid it will get you nowhere.”
“Nanheng… did he said that? Wasn’t he very reluctant to marry my sister? Hasn’t he been eagerly waiting for the end of the three-year agreement?”
“He was, but not now. He looks quite happy with the marriage now, and every time he comes back, he goes to the ancestral hall to see his little wife cheerfully.”
“Cheerfully?”
“Yes, he seems to be in quite a good mood. I am surprised too,” Grandfather Li said with a sigh. “But at least it shows that Nanheng treats your sister seriously. It’s good news for you and your family, isn’t it?”
Feng Mingzhu froze.
Good news?
Her dead sister took so many things away from her since her childhood! She even took the man she loved! And now she could finally completely get rid of her shadow, but why did the Li family people treat her with such an att.i.tude? What did Grandfather Li just say? Li Nanheng would take her as his only wife?! Was it a joke?
Then what should she do?
Didn’t Grandpa Li promise her to create a chance for her and Nanheng…
But why did he suddenly say so? Was it because of Li Nanheng’s cold att.i.tude toward her?
Feng Mingzhu still wanted to say something, but at this time, Grandfather Li’s cell phone rang. He took a look at it, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: “Oh, it’s really rare for this brat to call me. Why did he call me shortly after leaving?”
Hearing this, Feng Mingzhu knew it was from Li Nanheng, so she did not speak anymore but sat quietly, listening.
After Grandfather Li answered the call, he raised his eyebrows, hung up the phone, and took a look at Feng Mingzhu thoughtfully.
“Grandpa Li, what did Nanheng say on the phone? Is he in the United States? Or… has he been at XI Base lately?” Feng Mingzhu asked with a gentle smile.
Grandfather Li didn’t speak right away. He put the phone aside, then pulled the thin blanket on his lap up, and suddenly asked, “Mingzhu, have you told anyone other than us about the matters of the girl named Feng Ling?”
Feng Mingzhu’s smile immediately disappeared, and she asked with a stiff expression, “Grandpa Li, what do you mean?”
