Chapter 127 - 123: In Laws Of Li Family
The three were still amidst their conversation when they suddenly heard a racing sounds of footsteps coming toward them. Lifting her chin up, Li Lian saw an old man stepping down the staircase and stopped to fix his eyes toward Li Jun Wei before trailing his eyes at Li Lian’s hand that was wrapped lightly over Li Jun Wei’s arm.
The old man eyed Li Lian’s face, expressively switching his expression which was hard to understand for Li Lian. He looked behind at Li Xiao Chen, speaking with his eyes before walking down toward Li Lian. Li Jun Wei bowed his head, followed by Li Lian reflexively. "Good night, grandfather. I apologize for the late greeting."
Grandfather? Li Lian questioned in her mind, her eyes switched to a surprise one but she kept her surprise hidden well. "Good night, grandfather." her tone was a little unstable but fortunately, no one other than Li Jun Wei could pick up her nervous voice. After the silence which ensued from her greetings, Li Lian kept her lips pursed to a thin line. She waited for Li Bing to reply to her with her heart racing. In her mind questions flooded, what if they see her as a troublemaker? Knowing Li Family and their wealth, it wouldn’t be a labor to dig one or two stories of her bad image that was created by Xie Hue Lin. If that happens, would they oppose to their marriage and ask her to divorce Li Jun Wei? She didn’t want that to happen.
Li Jun Wei felt her hand tightened over his arm firmly, looking at her expression which was hidden beneath her hair, he covered her hand. Warmth transferred between their touch, the warmth that made her anxious mind calmed again.
"Good! Good!" Li Bing spoke aloud with a wide smile. "Your grandmother and I had been waiting for your arrival!"
Hearing the unexpected words from Li Bing, Li Lian looked up with surprise visible upon her black eyes. They had just met each other when an old woman with a young man walked toward them hurriedly. "You must be, Li Lian." Li Huian said with a gentle expression and patted his husband’s shoulder. "What are you doing? Halting one’s path, let’s go to the family room." Li Huian added hurriedly, pushing the men who don’t know the etiquette to greet the new guest to the family.
Li Bing walked up to discuss with Li Jun Wei while Li Huian used her moment when her grandson was preoccupied with his grandfather. Li Lian felt a hand wrapping to her palm to be Li Huian’s hand. Smiling gently, the old woman spoke to her. "You must be Li Lian, Xiao- Wei had talked many things about you, I’m very curious to meet you but I heard that you were still in the middle of your rehabilitation. Are you alright now?" her eyes worriedly held Li Lian’s gaze. Li Lian was initially worried but after being greeted by the two kind couple it made her forgot what she was worried about before.
