Chapter 109 Meeting with the Head of the Li Family

It was not until she recovered from her illness that Jiang Li got on the car to the Li family mansion at Li Mubai's invitation.

The black car drove towards the suburbs, passing by one scenery after another and passing through one villa area after another. The car went up along the mountain road and finally stopped in front of a large manor on the top of the mountain.

Before entering the door, Jiang Li was very moved. The Li family was indeed very wealthy. In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, especially in the Mid-Levels where rich people gathered, they actually built such a large mansion.

As soon as Li Mubai's car arrived at the gate, someone opened the gate. The car drove a little further inside and entered the gate. It felt even more spacious and exquisite. The whole manor was in traditional Chinese style, with pavilions, rockery, ponds, and artificial waterfalls. It can be said that there are scenery at every step. The car stopped at the main courtyard gate. As soon as the tires stopped, someone came to open the car door.

Li Mubai got out of the car and Jiang Li followed.

After walking around a long corridor and through an antique courtyard, we finally arrived at the Li family's banquet hall.

Through the hollow carved window, Jiang Li first saw the painting of a galloping horse hanging on the middle wall. It was vivid and vivid, and it was obvious that it was a famous painting. The second thing she saw was the large round table in the middle of the family banquet hall. There were 6 stools around it, and several people were already sitting there.

The first person recognized was Li Yunze. Li Yunze had obvious features of a dandy boy. The words "romantic and suave" were written on his face, and his peach blossom eyes gave off a sense of playfulness and dissoluteness.

He sat crookedly, his eyelids drooping. When he saw Jiang Li and Li Mubai coming in, he stretched out his hand and greeted them lazily, "You're here. Sit down and have some tea first. The old man hasn't come yet."

Of course Li Mubai knew that the old man had not arrived yet. If the old man was here, Li Yunze would not dare to sit there so lazily and would have stood at attention long ago.

Next to Li Yunze sat a man, very tall, very thin, and very pale, the kind of paleness that made no blood appear. Jiang Li had heard from Li Mubai before that his second uncle was in poor health, and because of his health, he was relatively taciturn. Li Mubai had given her a shot of prevention before, saying that his second uncle was a man of few words, but he had a good heart. Jiang Li could understand, of course, and immediately nodded politely to greet him, calling him "Uncle Li".

Sitting next to Li Canghai was his wife Chen Cuiying, who was also very thin and looked very smart. She was dressed very elegantly, and her whole body was very rich, but the combination was a bit rustic, like a nouveau riche. Seeing Jiang Li, Chen Cuiying also greeted her politely, but it was unclear how sincere her smile was.

Li Yunze stayed up late playing games last night and didn't get enough sleep, so after Li Mubai sat down and talked to him for a few words, he dozed off with his eyelids drooping. Li Canghai has always been a man of few words, he only smiled when greeting Jiang Li, and asked her to have tea and snacks, and then he said nothing more.

The one who talked the most was Li Mubai's second aunt. As soon as she sat down, she asked how old Jiang Li was, who was in her family, and what business she was in.

Jiang Li couldn't tell the truth, nor could she make up a lie, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. In the end, it was Li Mubai who helped her change the subject.

"I'm afraid grandpa will ask these questions when he gets here. It would be troublesome to ask them twice, so let's talk about it later."

Chen Cuiying was a little disappointed, but she also knew her position in the family, so she didn't say anything more and picked up the teacup to drink to ease the embarrassment.

Jiang Li also picked up the teacup and drank tea, looking at the people in the room while drinking.

It was a family dinner of the famous Li family, but there were not many people in the Li family. The table was so big that there were only 6 chairs including Jiang Li, the guest. The so-called wealthy family was not as lively as imagined.

It is true that wealthy families have always been lonely since ancient times.

The four people sat around, but no one was talking. Li Mubai just handed snacks to Jiang Li from time to time to fill her stomach.

Jiang Li had just eaten a finger-sized piece of salt and pepper crisps when she saw Li Yunze, who was dozing off, suddenly jump up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted. He then stood up straight. Not only that, he also straightened his expression and acted like a good boy.

The other people sitting at the table also stood up one after another, although their movements were not as big or abrupt as Li Yunze's.

Jiang Li followed their gaze and looked behind her, and instantly understood why they were so respectful.

Hong Kong’s richest man, head of the Li family, Li Zhendong is here.

Li Zhendong is already eighty years old this year, but he has been well maintained and looks like he is in his sixties. Although he is leaning on a cane, he does not stagger when moving. Instead, he is quite agile. It seems that the cane is just a help, not a necessity.

"Dad, you're finally here. We're starving."

Li Zhendong snorted coldly, "Starving? I think you are almost done with your sleep!"

Li Yunze scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He had clearly woken up very quickly just now! How come he was still discovered by the old man?

Isn't this old man presbyopic? How come he can always find fault with him?

When Li Zhendong entered the room, Li Canghai and Chen Cuiying called him "Dad" repeatedly. Li Mubai also called him "Grandpa" obediently, sweetly and loudly.

Jiang Li didn't dare to fall behind, and hurriedly followed and shouted: "Hello, Grandpa Li."

Hearing Jiang Li's voice, Li Zhendong seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if he heard it clearly, but also as if he didn't hear it clearly. He narrowed his eagle eyes and looked towards where Jiang Li was standing.

What a pity, it's far away and I have presbyopia, so I can't see clearly.

Li Zhendong took a few steps forward, looking at the man who had just called her "Grandpa Li". With every step Li Zhendong took, Jiang Li became more nervous. Perhaps this was the unique aura of a man who had been in power for many years. For the first time, Jiang Li experienced what it meant to be intimidating without being angry.

Jiang Li stood there obediently, afraid that he would catch her doing something wrong.

When they were three steps away, Li Zhendong's eyes suddenly trembled as he looked at her, his face suddenly changed, and he seemed to be a little unsteady, his hands tightly gripping the crutches.

Li Zhendong has been working in the business world for many years. When facing outsiders, he always puts on a dignified look with no expression on his emotions. When has he ever been seen so disoriented?

Li Zhendong's change of expression suddenly sobered up Li Yunze, who had been trying to hold back a yawn.

It's common for the old man to smash bowls and turn over tables when he gets angry, but what does his expression mean?

"You...what's your name?"

"My name is..."

"Grandpa, this is my girlfriend, Jiang Li."

"Ginger...Ginger what?"

"Jiang Li..." Jiang Li said softly, "Jiang Ziya's Jiang, Li's Li."

There was a "clang" sound.

Li Zhendong didn't hold the crutch firmly and it slipped to the ground.

"JIE...JIE..."

No one knew what Li Zhendong wanted to say because he suddenly couldn't stand and fainted.
