The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1517 - 1517 Meeting The Grandfather

1517 Meeting The Grandfather

Ye Youyou blinked her eyes when she heard that and asked, “Your mom is hard to handle?”

“Yeah.” Li Jinnan took another sip of soy milk. “My grandfather has become pretty open-minded in recent years. In comparison, my mother’s mindset has been very traditional since she was young. She might not be very accepting toward new ideas and concepts and things that are less than orthodox.”

For example, Ye Youyou’s divorce. Given Qin Shuhua’s personality, it is likely that she won’t be able to accept it. Even if she can, it will require a lot of effort and time. The one who has the most say in the family is still Grandfather.

As long as his grandfather gave his consent for Ye Youyou to be with him, regardless of whatever opinion Qin Shuhua held, her opposition would be diminished. Li Jinnan knew this well. That was why, right from the beginning, he never had any intention to let Ye Youyou meet his parents.

Ye Youyou began to worry when she heard Li Jinnan’s words. “If that’s the case, if your mom were to find out that I’m divorced, wouldn’t it be hard to handle?”

“Probably a little, but it’s not a huge problem. They’ll accept it sooner or later.” Li Jinnan put his cup down and looked at Ye Youyou. His eyes harbored a hint of mischief as he asked, “Are you worrying about our marriage at this point?”

Ye Youyou blushed as the realization hit her. She replied, “Not at all. I just feel that... If they don’t agree to it, it’ll be quite the problem.”

Li Jinnan smiled as he gazed at her and said, “Don’t worry. Leave it to me. Come on, the Oldie is waiting for us.”

The Oldie?

When Ye Youyou heard that form of address, she giggled. “Won’t you get a beating if your grandfather finds out you called him that?”

“I call him that to his face too. He’s done his fair share of stupid things too. My second brother can’t stand him.” Li Jinnan shrugged and stood up to clear the table. “We’ll do the washing up when we come back.”

Ye Youyou placed the bowls and chopsticks in the sink and replied, “I’ll be quick. Just give me a few minutes.”

She turned on the tap and quickly washed the bowls and utensils. There wasn’t much to wash, so she was done soon enough.

When she was done, Ye Youyou changed her shoes to head out. Li Jinnan was already in the car.

She locked the main door and got into the car. By the time they reached the old manor, almost an hour had passed. The oldie was already waiting in the sitting room. When he heard the doorbell ring, he immediately had Liu Sao open the door.

Suppressing his urge to rush to the door and satisfy his curiosity, Old Mr. Li exercised his self-control and remained seated on the couch. But, he couldn’t resist craning his neck as he watched the door.

Soon, Li Jinnan walked in. Liu Sao saw the lady behind Li Jinnan. Her eyes lit up. “How pretty! Come on in,” she said.

“This is Liu Sao,” Li Jinnan said.

Ye Youyou smiled and nodded her head as she greeted dutifully, “Hello, Liu Sao.”

Liu Sao smiled with an open mouth. She looked elated as she said, “This is the first time the third Young Master has brought a girl back. Come on in and have a seat.”

“Liu Sao, could you bring a pair of indoor slippers for her to change into?” Li Jinnan asked before Liu Sao could react. “Oh, look how forgetful I’ve become!”

With that, she went to the shoe cupboard and took a new pair of slippers that had been prepared beforehand. She placed them on the floor and looked toward the direction of the couch as she called out, “Sir, they’re here.”

The old man had originally been craning his neck hoping to catch a glimpse of them. When he heard Liu Sao speaking to them, he quickly shrank his neck back and pretended he hadn’t seen a thing. He leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes.

When Liu Sao spoke to him, he lazily opened his eyes and pretended to just notice them as he replied, “I see you’re here. Have a seat.”

Ye Youyou felt a little unsure of what to do and looked at Li Jinnan.
