Li pushed his hands inside his pockets and rarely looked at the protagonist with serious eyes.
Qi Cheng froze not knowing why Li was looking at him so seriously. He looked back and thought about his actions wondering if he had offended Li without knowing it. He knew that Li would be suspicious of him but he still rushed here and tried to stop him.
Qi Cheng gradually calmed down and looked at the serious teenager openly.
Li sighed and bade farewell to Qi Cheng not showing anything unusual. Qi Cheng nodded to him relieved and hurried on his way back, his little brother was waiting for him to go back and take him out.
Li reluctantly went back to the place where he first found himself after he woke up, he hadn't stepped on that place after returning from abroad and truthfully he didn't want to return either.
The butler hurriedly welcomed the young master who returned to the mansion after a long time.
When Li entered the room he saw those familiar faces which he hadn't seen in a long time. He had no nostalgia looking at his dear mother and brother.
They were sitting at the dining table and it looked like they were waiting for him. Yu Yunqi had a stinky face as he immediately grabbed his chopstick impatiently while his mother glared at him hatefully.
Yu Xingyun face lit up as soon as he saw Li who was more like his big brother than the actual one.
"Brother, hurry up. Today all the dishes are made according to your preferences"
Li nodded his head and sat down after the butler thoughtfully pulled his chair to make it easier for him to sit.
"Some people don't even have basic respect for their elders." Yu Yan started to make a fuss as soon as Li sat down
After being caught by Han Ying last time, she didn't dare to make any more small moves. She was feeling very aggrieved and she couldn't hold back herself. She resented Li and wondered how LI could slip away from death every time.
She wanted the wild child to be dead then only she could live in peace. If not then she would go crazy from jealously
Li ignored her and instead picked up his chopsticks.
"Nowadays, kids have no manner. They don't know how to greet their elder when they see them"
Han Ying frowned and gave a reproachful glance at her. "Don't make trouble"
Yu Yan pursed her lip and said stubbornly. "I am only teaching him manners as an elder"
Yu Yunqi smiled gloatingly and hid his smirk. He was always told that he would be the one to inherit the huge property and he had always been proud of that. He always felt that he was the most valued among his brother but he suddenly realized that father's attitude toward li was very different from them.
When he realized that he would lose before Li and the property which he had eyed from the very beginning would be given to his stepbrother, he wasn't reconciled.
He hoped that Li would be in trouble and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his mother targeting Li everywhere. Instead, it was more beneficial to him
"You aren't qualified to teach me" Li nonchalant voice rang out monotonously but it was firm like he was stating a well-known fact.
Yu Yan felt suffocated when she saw that Li ignored her and her husband didn't have any intention to reprimand the wild brat. "Is this how you treat your mother!?"
Everyone stopped and froze when they heard Yu Yan saying such an unreasonable thing wanting to argue with Li.
Li looked at his stepmother with dark eyes and narrowed his eyes at her "You aren't my mother"
Li suddenly smirked and looked at Yu Yan with bad eyes "Why didn't I know that I had another mother? How can someone suddenly give birth to someone who was already there in another woman's womb"
"I suggest you go and take a good health checkup at the mental hospital"
"You have some amazing fantasies"
Yu Yan choked and her eyes turned red. She abruptly stood up and left the room without saying anything. She never had a good temper, she couldn't do anything to Li while her husband was there. She could only go away to keep her temper from exploding.
No one mentioned anything about it again and dined in silence.
Soon, Yu Yunqi stood up hurriedly and excused himself not wanting to stay there any minute longer.
Han Ying regretted inviting his son back to his home. He thought that they could at least that they could have a peaceful meal but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
He didn't call his son to ruin his mood. He coughed guiltily and looked at Li with soft eyes "You come whenever you want. You can ignore whatever she says"
Li nodded his head unbothered making his father breathe in a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you should come back home often. It will be more fun with you here"
"Yeah" Li agreed but he didn't know whether he will come back or not.
He was feeling already tired after letting go of his negative emotions and now after such a farce, he just wanted to go back and lie down on his bed.
Li didn't have much appetite and he stood up after finishing as much as he could not wanting to worry about others.
Yu Xingyun and Han Ying wanted to see him off but was rejected by Li.
The butler smiled triumphantly and thought that the young master didn't reject him.
"Young Master, please try to come back as much as possible" The butler smiled kindly at Li. "You may not want to acknowledge it but this is also your home"
Li nodded at the butler and waved his hands, wanting to return as soon as possible.
Yu Yan looked down the window and stared at Li who was walking away resentfully. The curtain was drawn back forcefully after Li figure was lost amidst the alleys.
