Chapter 5561: Chapter 5561: Straight to the Point

The nephew he wholeheartedly protected seemed... seemed to be quite clever, was he... was he perhaps overly worried?

Li Ronghuan looked at Li Jinnian, who had pulled him and then grabbed the vase, a hint of deep contemplation in his eyes.

"Uncle, did you pay for this?" Li Jinnian asked, holding the vase.

Li Ronghuan shook his head, "No, there were plans, but they haven’t been carried out yet."

Then it belonged to the Li family. Li Jinnian let go of the vase and with a "crash," it fell to the highly polished marble floor and shattered into pieces.

The sound of breaking suddenly made Li Tianhao’s heart jump violently and also caused the room’s door that had been opened to quietly close again. Du Jiayi, with a joyous expression, whispered, "Grandma, big uncle, little uncle, Li Jinnian, the three of them are quarreling. You should rest well and let those three quarrel; it will save you some worry."

Madam Li sat by the bed, slowly sipping her tea, and said coldly, "This is truly dog-eat-dog. As the master, just watching will suffice. Whichever gets bitten, it benefits you. However, no matter how fierce their fight, we still need to be cautious."

Du Jiayi did not understand, "Isn’t it a good thing if big uncle and little uncle are fighting? Why still need to be cautious?"

"One is the most cunning dog; the other is a dog stirring up trouble wholeheartedly. We mustn’t get too complacent; who wins and who loses is still unknown."

Naturally, Old Madam Li enjoyed seeing the two sons from the original wife self-destruct, as they weren’t of her bloodline and she didn’t care for them in the least.

But if they were scheming against each other and ended up handing the entire Li family to their calculations, then all her work for most of her life would have been in vain, a wasted effort.

It was then that Du Jiayi understood why Madam Li said they still needed to be cautious.

"Fighting means contending, whoever wins gets more. Yes, we still need to watch out." Du Jiayi, who caught on quickly, nodded thoughtfully, her beautiful eyes slightly unfocused, as if pondering while speaking, "Grandma, then you’ll need to work a bit harder."

"My cousin and cousin-in-law still need your care. The Li family fortune can’t fall into the hands of either little uncle or big uncle; it must be left for my cousin and cousin-in-law. Sigh, if both cousin and cousin-in-law were at home, Grandma, it would save you a lot of trouble."

She spoke naturally, and Old Madam Li watched for a while but did not detect any ulterior motive, thinking her granddaughter genuinely cared for Li Jun and Li Qin. She motioned for Du Jiayi to sit by her side.

After Du Jiayi sat down, she gently patted the back of Du Jiayi’s hand, expressing her satisfaction, "It wasn’t in vain that Grandma cherished you, knowing you care for your cousins."

Nothing more was said.

Du Jiayi, whose whereabouts had not been probed, lowered her eyes, concealing the coldness within them.

Grandma’s love for her was indeed genuine, but compared to her own grandchildren, it was not enough. She was just covering up the whereabouts of those two, worried something might go wrong.

Outside, Li Tianhao, whose mind was almost completely exposed, slapped the coffee table in anger, defending himself, "Jinnian is my son; I had him move back home because his surname is Li, not Fu! What does the old master hate the most? He hates the Li descendants who are wholeheartedly inclined elsewhere the most! Why doesn’t Jinnian please the old master? Because despite being from the Li family, his heart only belongs to the Fu family!"

"I am his dad, and now that he has strayed, it is my duty and responsibility to bring him back! Stop spouting nonsense here!" Getting somewhat angrily embarrassed, Li Jinnian glanced at his father, who seemed to be earnestly concerned for his own good, and calmly spoke up, "Dad, the reason you brought me back is because you saw how powerful little uncle is, and you are afraid that he would take over the Li family and not share with you."

He rarely spoke up, but when he did, his words were always sharp and cutting.
