Capítulo 1205: Chapter 1206: End of Li Huo Arc (14)
“Shanshan, come over and take a rest.” Although the private jet had a special Presidential Suite, sitting for eight hours on the plane was still tiring.
Xia Ximeng quickly pulled Huo Yishan onto the sofa.
Huo Yishan glanced around. She knew that this courtyard, Building C, belonged to Li Yuan’s family, but she heard that tonight the entire Li Family, except for the eldest uncle and Li Mingsen, would gather here for dinner. The main reason for their return today was that it was a significant day, so the family needed to gather.
This was a tradition of the Li Family; on important days, the entire family would come together for a meal to signify the day’s significance.
But after entering the house, Huo Yishan didn’t see anyone else.
Could it be that even now, Li Yuan’s grandmother still refused to accept her?
Sitting on the sofa, she frowned slightly.
Then she heard Li Xiangyang’s voice, “Strange, where’s Mom?”
Just now, she was standing at the door with him; how did she disappear in such a short time?
Li Xiangyang’s gaze scanned the large, luxurious living room before landing on the face of the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper was also puzzled; he had just seen the old madam come in.
“Strange, she was just here.”
These few words made Huo Yishan’s heart mix with complex emotions. If even now Li Yuan’s grandmother refused to accept her, how would she face her in the future in this family?
“Remember, the soup should be light, not too greasy.”
It turned out that the old madam, who didn’t know how to face Huo Yishan, had gone to the kitchen. She knew that Huo Yishan had just had a baby and should not eat greasy food, so she instructed the chef to make the soup light.
Hearing the noise, Li Xiangyang walked in.
She rarely visited the kitchen and couldn’t help but wonder, “Mom, what are you doing here?”
Hearing her son’s voice, the old madam leaned on her cane, pursed her lips, and for a moment didn’t know what to say.
“I… I came to see how the dinner preparations were going.”
Li Xiangyang paused, suddenly understanding why she had hidden in the kitchen.
“Mom, are you unsure how to face Shan—”
“Alright, dinner is almost ready, I’m going out.” Not wanting her son to say it outright, the old madam interrupted him and then leaned on her cane to walk out of the kitchen.
As she entered the living room, perhaps because of the sudden appearance of a figure, both Huo Yishan and Li Yuan instinctively looked up from the sofa.
At the moment she met Huo Yishan’s eyes, the old madam felt even more guilty because of past matters, and she unconsciously averted her gaze.
However, this glance made Huo Yishan misunderstand, thinking the old madam still refused to accept her.
She already knew the identity, and for Li Yuan, she had given up her dream of acting; if she still couldn’t accept her, it would be too stubborn.
“Housekeeper, please invite the first and second madam’s families to dine.” After avoiding Huo Yishan’s eyes, the old madam addressed the housekeeper waiting not far away.
The housekeeper immediately bowed and nodded, “Yes.”
The old madam originally wanted to say something to make herself look more natural.
But after instructing the housekeeper, she once again felt a bit lost, standing at the entrance of the dining room, not knowing whether to walk toward the sofa or turn directly into the dining room.
She ultimately wanted to enter the dining room because she didn’t know how to face Huo Yishan, how to act as a family member, and address her naturally.
