Chapter 3472: Argument

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Madam Li was already so old, so she wouldn’t be so impulsive. It could be said that Madam Li played a huge role in the family being able to get to where they were today. She relied on her family to slowly bring her husband from a small officer to his current position.

How could such a scheming person be impulsive?

Impulsiveness was a demon. It would destroy everything. Madam Li had come to where she was today. Although she was quite powerful and had methods, she was never impulsive. 𝑓𝘳ℯℯ𝔀ℯ𝓫𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓵.𝘤𝘰𝓶

Du Jiayi was like Madam Li. No matter how big a matter was and no matter how angry she was, she would never show it in front of others. She would only take revenge without batting an eyelid.

At this moment, she was hugging Madam Li and crying in fear. She wanted to coax Madam Li first so that she wouldn’t do anything irreversible.

As soon as she cried, Madam Li stopped in her tracks and looked at her husband coldly. She said coldly, “Old Du, don’t you know how you got to where you are today?”

“My father, Chuhai, and the Li family have been treating you well. Now, my father has been asked to the military, but you came back to throw a tantrum at me instead of thinking of a way to help him out first. Old Du, since you relied on the Li family’s power to walk out from the grassroots, do you really think that these people will forget that you’re the Li family’s son-in-law just because we’re estranged from the Li family?”

Staff Officer Du’s facial expression was distorted when he heard this. He knew that he had relied on the Li family to get to his current position. Hence, he had been very good to Old Master Li all these years!

However, Old Master Li had never looked at him directly. He had even said coldly, “I don’t treat you well. I’m only helping you because of Chenglan. You came from a humble background. If it’s not because Chenglan likes you, why would I help you? Now that I’m helping you, I don’t need you to repay me. I just hope that you can take care of Chuhai in the future.”

Even after more than ten years, he still remembered that tone.

Everything the old master said was right. He was indeed from a peasant background and had relied on the Li family to guide him. Staff Officer Du acknowledged all these and had never denied it. However, he never thought that the old master would mention it in such an arrogant tone.

Staff Officer Du took a deep breath and said with a livid face, “I haven’t forgotten that I’m the son-in-law of the Li family. Other people wouldn’t have forgotten it either. If not, we wouldn’t have gotten into this mess today. Don’t worry, no matter how much Old Master Li looks down on me, in the eyes of others, I’m still part of the Li family.

“As long as something happens to the Li family, I can’t stay out of it. I know this better than you. You don’t have to remind me.”

“It’s good that you know. I was afraid that you’d only know how to flare up at Jiayi and me when you came back.” Madam Li’s lips twitched coldly. At this moment, she was no longer as angry as before. She was instantly so calm that there was no more anger on her face. Du Jiayi, who was hugging her waist, was so stunned that she looked up without blinking and asked in a low voice, “Mom, what do you plan to do?”

What was going on? She couldn’t guess what she was planning.

She had never seen someone who was so furious one second ago and so calm the next.

Hearing her daughter’s question, Madam Li turned around and tapped her daughter’s forehead with her finger. She smiled and said, “Why are you making a fuss over such a small matter? Aren’t you embarrassed? Why are you still crying? What’s there to cry about? Soldiers will deal with whatever comes their way. Since there’s a reason for this, there will be a way to resolve it. Can crying, fussing, and anger solve the problem?

“Look at your father. He’s shouting at home. Ask him if he has any ideas. Ask him.”
