Chapter 34: Stop Behaving So Sneakily, It’s A Disgrace!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Beinian is too... too arrogant.
However, Li Xueqing could not bring herself to say anything at all.
Li Beinian did not stay another minute longer and made her way up the stairs after retrieving the first aid kit, without even looking back at her.
Feeling extremely indignant, Li Xueqing stood up and walked towards the couch while bearing with the pain. She then called Li Haoran.
...
Her pants were torn and there were severe abrasions on her elbows too.
She lifted her shirt to see that her abrasions were covered in blood.
Li Beinian cleaned her wounds and clenched her jaw in pain. As soon as she put on the medicine, she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door violently.
“Come out!” Li Haoran barked.
Li Beinian put her clothes down and opened the door, only to be greeted with the sight of an angry face.
Li Haoran entered the room and saw that there was a first aid kit by the bedside. Staring at Li Beinian’s outfit, he hollered angrily, “Don’t I feed you enough? How dare you steal? You’re so shameless!”
Upon hearing her words, Li Beinian knew that Li Xueqing was the one behind it.
She snorted with laughter and asked, “Since you trust your stepdaughter so much, why do you even bother asking me?”
“How dare you be so sharp tongued! You’ve completely embarrassed me!”
“Since you’re bent on that, just take it that I was the thief. You’ve never chosen to believe me before anyway. Please go out, Mr. Li,” Li Beinian said while staring at him.
“You... ” Li Haoran’s anger seemed to have been overwritten by the way she addressed him.
“Forget it, you stay here. I’ll leave.”
Li Beinian put on her shoes and got ready to go out.
“What exactly happened!?!” Li Haoran questioned while blocking the door.
Li Beinian stopped in her tracks and asked with a smirk, “You’ll believe me just because I say so?”
Li Haoran asked, “Who bailed you out?”
“Mu Donglin, your future son-in-law,” Li Beinian answered calmly.
Greatly taken aback, Li Haoran asked, “How could that be?”
How much does Mu Donglin detest Li Beinian?
Ever since the banquet, he refused to see Li Beinian regardless of how hard Old Mr. Li requested him to.
Yet, he proceeded to bail her out?
Is he possessed?
Despite finding it to be rather impossible, Li Beinian said, “I’m sorry but it really was him.”
Li Haoran fell silent for a moment before asking, “What did he say?”
“He said that I embarrassed him.”
Li Haoran asked with a sullen expression, “What else?”
“Nothing else.”
“Did he not say that he dislikes you?”
“No.”
Li Haoran heaved a sigh of relief and warned, “You’d better behave yourself. No matter what, you’ll be marrying Mu Donglin in the future. If you want to live a good life, work hard for it yourself. I can only help you up till here.”
Finding it a little amusing, Li Beinian said, “I didn’t say that I wanted to marry him.”
“It’s not up to you to decide,” Li Haoran said while staring at her coldly, as if he was staring at a tool and not his daughter. He continued, “Your grandpa is old in his years and it’s not that easy for him to arrange this marriage for you. If you don’t treasure it, you’d be wasting his efforts, not mine.”
Li Beinian fell silent. Li Haoran’s words had hit the nail on its head.
She could ignore what Li Haoran thought but she could not ignore her grandpa.
“From now on, you’d better stay at home and prepare for your university entrance exam. From now on, tell me whatever you want. Stop doing those sneaky things. It’s embarrassing!” Li Haoran barked with a sullen expression.
