Chapter 418 - 139: Meeting
The next morning, Jiang Li had not yet managed to visit Night Wind Hall to greet Madam Jiang the Elder when an unexpected guest arrived at Fangfei Garden.
Jiang Yuanbai came.
Qingfeng and Ming Yue were sweeping the courtyard when they saw Jiang Yuanbai. They were greatly surprised and were just about to go inform someone when Jiang Yuanbai stopped them. Jiang Li got up a little later and he did not disturb her, but instead sat at the stone table in the courtyard outside Fangfei Garden, staring at the frost and snow-covered branches, lost in thought.
After Jiang Li got up and freshened up, what she saw was the scene of Jiang Yuanbai sitting alone.
Tonger and Bai Xue saluted first, and Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to smile but didn’t know how to do it naturally and said, "Little Li."
Jiang Li nodded, "Father."
Her demeanor was polite yet distant, not like that towards a father, but more like towards an elder from someone else’s family. A trace of disappointment flashed in Jiang Yuanbai’s eyes, and then he began to mock himself.
The situation had reached this point; he truly couldn’t expect too much from Jiang Li. When she was framed by Ji Shuran and sent to Green City Mountain, he, as a father, didn’t notice the truth and, by aiding and abetting, pushed his daughter away from himself. Now, wanting to make up for it, but it was already too late.
