Chapter 1577: 1577

A good kid? Li Xiao chuckled . He looked at Qin Shuhua and shook his head .

Qin Shuhua was none too happy when she observed her husband’s expression . “What is your expression supposed to mean? You’d better think of something! Not only has that woman been married to someone else before, but she’s also currently in prison . If word of this were to get out, what would other people say of us?”

“I’m sure Li Jinnan knows what he’s doing regarding this matter,” Li Xiao said . “You should stay out of it . ”

He waved his hand in the air, clearly not too bothered by it at all . Qin Shuhua wasn’t satisfied .

“No way, Lao Xiao,” she said . “Do you actually mean to approve of them being together?”

“It’s not up to up to me,” he replied . “Didn’t you just say that the girl is now in prison? Even if I were to approve, she has to be released first!”

Qin Shuhua heard that, but she didn’t understand exactly what her husband was trying to say . She looked at him . Her frown deepened with confusion .

Li Xiao got off the couch and turned to walk off, not bothering to entertain her any longer .

Qin Shuhua still couldn’t make out what her husband meant . She ran up to him and asked, “Lao Li, what do you mean?”

Li Xiao was speechless .

“Say something!”

“I’m off to take a shower,” Li Xiao said .

“No! Clarify what you just said!” Qin Shuhua tried to follow him, but she couldn’t catch Li Xiao in time before he headed into the bathroom .

Locked out on the other side of the door, Qin Shuhua stomped her foot in frustration . She picked her cell phone up and made a phone call to her grandson in the Capital .

It was Li Jianqian’s third day in the Capital . Everything in the Capital was different from how it had been in Kingstown . It wasn’t just a change of environment . Everyone around him was also different from the people he knew in Kingstown .

For the past three days, Li Jianqian had dutifully played the role of a good child . When Grandpa told him to eat his meals, he ate his meals . When Grandma offered him some fruit, he accepted it . When Rong Haiyue and Rong Xuan had suggested taking him to the movies, Li Jianqian had only one reply: “OK . ”

All the neighbors and acquaintances had praised Li Jianqian for being such a well-behaved child and saving his elders the worry . Only Rong Xuan and Rong Haiyue, as the parties directly involved, knew that this level of good behavior wasn’t exactly a good thing for a child .

Rong Haiyue sat down to have a good talk with his wife . With a worried frown, he asked, “Xuan, are our actions doing the child more harm than good?”

Rong Xuan looked at Rong Haiyue, feeling hesitant to answer .

They had always known that Li Jianqian was a well-behaved and obedient child . Recently, they had discovered that the child didn’t seem very happy .

Rong Xuan sighed and replied, “How about this? Why don’t we send the child back? He’s still young after all . I don’t want him to develop any issues . Dasu is indeed a mature kid, however…”

“Grandma, Grandpa…” Li Jianqian’s voice suddenly rang out .

The husband and wife stiffened in surprise and turned back to look .

Li Jianqian was very thinly clad . On his feet were only a pair of cotton slippers . He asked, “Do you dislike me?”

Upon hearing that question, they knew that the child must have seen or heard something . Their expressions turned awkward . At the same time, they felt a nagging sense of guilt .

Rong Haiyue and Rong Xuan waved Li Jianqian over and said, “Dasu, come over here . ”

Li Jianqian obediently walked over . He was so well-behaved that he might as well have been a puppet . His face was emotionless . There wasn’t much reaction from him . However, when compared to his father, it had to be said that he was a little less cold and much more tender .

“Do you not like staying at Grandpa’s house?” Rong Haiyue asked . “I was just discussing with your grandma whether we should send you back to Kingstown and allow you to grow up with your sister and brother . ”
