"Father-in-law!"
Pei Xueke stepped forward. Although she was no longer a daughter-in-law of the Li family, Li Yuanzhuo had always protected her when she was in Li's house, even years later, she still appreciated his kindness, she couldn't help it and called him Father-in-law.
But after she called out, Pei Xueke realized something was amiss and hastily tried to correct herself.
Li Yuanzhuo, however, spoke first: "Xueke, you're back."
The originally stern expression on Li Yuanzhuo's face became kind and even carried a smile.
This surprised all who knew Li Yuanzhuo to the point of almost dropping their jaws.
Everyone knew that Li Yuanzhuo was not one to make light conversation, let alone laugh. They would not even dare to imagine such a thing!
Meanwhile, a wave of jealousy flooded Gongsun Minyi's heart.
