Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1986: Chapter 1996: Seeing What the Old Madam Likes

As long as it doesn’t involve leaving Chi Enen, everything else is negotiable.

”Yes, Master Jue.” Huo Yi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, ”Master Jue, should we ask Miss Chi? Miss Chi might know what Old Lady Habsden likes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Beijue shot him a warning glance, ”Do not tell Chi Enen! She doesn’t know about this.”

What did that mean?

Does it mean that Master Jue doesn’t want Miss Chi to know, or does Old Lady Habsden not want Miss Chi to know?

If it’s the former, that’s better. If it’s the latter, he doesn’t quite understand Old Lady Habsden’s intentions. Is she really trying to get Master Jue to go alone, to have a heart-to-heart with him, keeping the two apart?

It’s not outside the realm of possibility, the Old Master has done similar things to Miss Chi in the past.

”Understood.” Huo Yi thought to himself, not daring to show it on his face, racking his brains before saying, ”Elders generally like things like gemstones, maybe Master Jue could give her gemstones. Gems are the most versatile gifts and least likely to go wrong.”

For one, they’re presentable.

For another, women love them.

This kind of fondness is ageless.

”Gemstones?” Li Beijue narrowed his pupils, as if contemplating the feasibility, ”Aside from that, what else?”

”That depends on the Old Madam’s hobbies. The best gifts are those that cater to the recipient’s tastes.” But it’s never that easy to know what someone likes.

Especially when he can’t ask Miss Chi, making it even harder to figure out what the other party likes.

Li Beijue was also aware of this, which frustrated him again, ”Forget it, let’s go with gemstones. Make a call, have someone airship that cherished ruby of the Old Master overnight; I need to bring it tomorrow morning.”

Huo Yi imagined Old Master Li’s expression when he finds out his cherished Louis XIII ruby was given away by Master Jue, shuddering silently as he said, ”Understood.”

Li Beijue decided to return to the room to look up how to meet the parents on his mobile phone, while facing him to emphasize once more, ”Remember, do not tell Chi Enen about this! Also, don’t let Chi Jingchen find out! If you slip up, you’ll be mining coal in Country T; they’ve saved a position just for you there!”

”Rest assured, Master Jue, I absolutely won’t let Miss Chi and the Little Young Master find out!” To avoid coal mining, he would say anything to keep it from Miss Chi.

”Tomorrow, Chi Enen should be heading to the company quite early. Take Chi Jingchen with her. Just say that I have an important conference call from the Old Man that I need to attend, though I’d really like to go, I can’t leave.” Li Beijue had thought of everything, including how he would conceal going to meet the Old Madam from Chi Enen tomorrow.

Huo Yi understood that he needed to emphasize the phrase ’though I’d really like to go, I can’t leave,’ feeling aware of it, ”Yes, Master Jue.”

If he doesn’t phrase it that way, the Little Young Master might be the first to doubt Master Jue.

”Master Jue is going alone tomorrow?”

”Yes.”

Quan Dongting’s text message mentioned not letting Chi Enen know, which essentially meant he should go alone.

Li Beijue checked the time, stood up, and headed inside.

The time was still early, so he took advantage of Chi Enen not having returned to the room yet to thoroughly research strategy online. Also, he could conveniently ask Huo Leiting how he handled meeting Kim Zhixuan’s parents...
