Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Even when Li Jinnian came back, no one mentioned how the Li family’s assets were distributed. They seemed to have forgotten about Old Master Li’s inheritance.

The more they acted like this, the more guarded Second Old Madam Li became, especially when she saw the stern and cold Li Jinnian coming back. When she saw Li Jinnian’s face that looked like the late first madam, ruthlessness flashed past her eyes.

She only took one look before retracting her gaze. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The entire process only took a few seconds.

Li Jinnian, who felt the malicious intent, glanced at her indifferently. He then knelt down and kowtowed three times. After offering incense, he stood at the side. He had come back travel-worn, but his figure was still like a pine tree. The guests who came to the Li residence couldn’t help but take a few more glances. They felt that Old Master Li had a worthy successor.

”This is Jinnian, right? I met you once more ten years ago. I didn’t expect you to become an indomitable man in the blink of an eye. The old master mentioned you a few times in front of me and sounded quite proud. From the looks of it today, I finally understand why the old master was so proud. With you in the Li family in the future, we’ll be at ease.”

The person who said this was a subordinate that Old Master Li had taken good care of. He naturally knew some things about the Li family. He knew very well why Old Master Li didn’t like his eldest grandson. However, he needed a member of the Li family who could reassure the people’s hearts.

In that case, Li Jinnian would become a chess piece in these people’s hands. They wanted to make use of him.

They wanted to let certain people see that the Li family still had a leader and was not easy to mess with so that those who had been secretly trying to disintegrate the Li faction’s power would feel fearful. It would also give these people from the Li faction some breathing space.

Unfortunately, Li Jinnian wasn’t interested in that. Before he could speak, Madam Li wiped her tears and said, ”Jinnian, you just came back. You must be tired. Go change your clothes and rest first. I still need your help with the rest. You have to take good care of yourself.”

The people who came today were all Old Master Li’s subordinates. Second Old Madam Li and Madam Li didn’t want Li Jinnian to appear.

Li Ronghuan stood up and sighed. ”She’s right. Let’s rest for a while.”

Li Jinnian didn’t even have the chance to say anything before they left.

Old Master Li’s body was in the Li family’s old residence. The old residence was an ancestral home, and the place was spacious. Even though there were many guests coming and going these two days, it didn’t seem crowded. Li Jinnian didn’t care how many people came to the old residence. He only cared about what Li Ronghuan had found out.

After going upstairs, Li Jinnian didn’t beat about the bush. With a calm expression, he asked the question he wanted to ask.

”Do you want to know who the daughter of a female soldier is? What’s the matter? Do you want to take revenge for Li Chuhai?” Li Ronghuan teased. ”That won’t do. I won’t agree.”

Li Jinnian didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Li Ronghuan, who was teasing him. His handsome face was a little cold.

That disdainful look made Li Ronghuan laugh. After laughing, he said earnestly, ”It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I just don’t think there’s a need to add to your problem. Do you really want to know?”

”I don’t have any thoughts about the Li family. I just want to know what you did and what you investigated.”

If Li Ronghuan didn’t say Ye Jian’s name directly, Li Jinnian wouldn’t say it rashly either. He used a tone that showed his distrust for Li Ronghuan, making Li Ronghuan speechless for a long time.

So, everything he said in the past was treated as nonsense!
