Chapter 138 - 25_5
Qin Li finally accepted the money and bowed solemnly to Li Sanjiang.
Li Zhiyuan silently bowed his head and ate his meal. He didn’t believe for a second the excuse about Uncle Qin going back home to attend to his elder brother. He had been to the eastern room and paid respects to the ancestral tablet; the situation was clearly that the entire family, no, the entire clan was gone.
Uncle Qin’s departure could only be due to last night’s incident.
Li Zhiyuan could sense that, staying with the Grandmaster, they had been trying hard to avoid certain taboos. Uncle Qin’s departure was probably for caution’s sake.
Sigh, the cost of this one time of tipping over a soy sauce bottle was really high.
He sneakily glanced at Liu Yumei and noticed that she was also looking at him, their gazes briefly meeting.
Liu Yumei’s eyes were meaningful, her lips curved in a smile.
Li Zhiyuan knew this was a silent warning.
He could no longer go back to the Qin family for help with tough situations like in the past. Asking for help once meant one person would be driven away; the brush wasn’t thick with bristles left for him to pluck.
After dinner, Run Sheng couldn’t wait to turn on the TV and tuned to a channel.
Li Sanjiang didn’t go upstairs to lie down and listen to storytelling but sat here as well, smoking a cigarette.
