Elder Li looked at Old man Gao and gestured to him to tell the real thing of the matter. He was sure that something was amiss from the between and he really wanted to know what it was. Lifen has gone to London leaving all her guards behind, telling that she has to attend her friend's wedding, then how did she encounter his grandson and what made Deming so angry that he was on the level to take away the man's life.
Somewhere he felt that the last night's economic crisis was also related to this matter. He was looking at the old man sharply and was anticipating the answer.
The old man sighed internally. Though he was in the same age with this man but still there was a very high difference between the demeanor they carry. The air around Li Liaoyuan was still formidable as it was before the golden lines of aged experiences getting added to him every year, whereas in his case not only his body went weak along with his age but also the powerful aura he once had around him in the young age got weakened.
He never wanted to accept that but now looking at Li Liaoyuan he really felt that he was very weak in front of him, not only in the terms of achievements but also in the terms of upbringing he has given to bring his granddaughter up.
He really wished that he had gotten the luck this man had in his life then he wouldn't have to be in so much stress at such an old age.
Looking at the strenuous gaze Elder Li was giving to him, he felt his body trembling to the extent that he feared that no words would come out of his mouth.
At this moment Yang Yuzhe stood up, all polite and decent but the eyes he was using to look at the man was really domineering. Giving a slight bow of greeting gesture, he said "Sorry to interrupt I between, but I am sure we won't be able to help you even if you give us hundreds of twisted reasons. Because I already know the truth. Furthermore, this is something not under us" He paused as he presented the meaningful smile over his lips.
"…", the old man Gao was really at loss. He thought that no one knew about all the events that happened in the city of London, as Li Liaoyuan was so chilled resting in his house.
"This thing has already been settled by Mr. Wang. And when the thing gets concerned with Lifen, he won't ever listen to anyone, not even Lifen", he completed his words and got to gesture him the way towards exit.
Elder Li just looked at the scene, neither interrupted nor asked the reason behind such words. Putting the pieces of the situations together he has already speculated that something must have happened in London which was still not in his knowledge.
The old man Gao looked at Elder Li for some help but no words came from his side as if he was all happy with Yang Yuzhe's word. "President Li, please think of it. I only have my grandson with me. How would I live my old age if at this age I have to see my grandson dying. Please help me save him. I beg you, please spare his life", he groveled but nothing helped as there was no hint of sympathy seen in the man's eyes.
"There is nothing I can help you with. Even if it was not Deming, if your grandson has really tried something wrong with Lifen then, I myself have not spared him. Now, it's time for me to rest. You leave", he said, putting an ending seal to the topic.
Old man Gao did not know what more to do now. Was this the way God has decided the end of his grandson? Was his family bloodline going to end just like that? Thinking everything he fainted falling on the sofa placed at the side.
Seeing her fainting, Li Liaoyuan didn't seem to get fazed. He stood standing in his place like nothing at all has happened around him, like no one has fallen down unconscious. He just called out, "Butler Gong!"
At his call the butler who was slightly younger than him came up to receive the order. "Get him hospitalized and take care of the bills for him. This is the only thing we can do for him in regards to the humanity and acquaintance we shared".
Saying this he stood up to go back upstairs. Seeing him going up, Yuzhe thought that he should tell him the situation that has happened in London. So he started, "Grandpa Li, Lifen is all fine. Deming …"
But before he could complete his words, Li Liaoyuan interrupted, "No need to tell me. It will only make the situation worse. Since the matter is already settled, let's not probe it any further. We should not forget who is the main villain of the story. We have time we should make our plan to dodge that attacks"
Saying that he didn't wait any further and made his way upstairs. At this moment he really felt Wang Deming to be the right person for his granddaughter, just his ways are too rough and sinister. Rest he was all fit for her.
______________
Back in London, slowly and slowly the effects of the drug seemed to be decreasing from Lifen's body. Her legs felt still numb but now she was able to move her hands.
But still has called himself all in charge of taking care of her. He would help her with food, medicines and would also read her stories to make her sleep. Looking at him doing all those things, Lifen felt either she has become a child or Deming has gone crazy taking her as a little girl whom he has pledged to spoil her rotten'
"Aaaa …", Deming asked her to open her mouth, bringing the slice of apple up to her lips.
The woman pursed her lips before finally opening it to take it in, "Deming, can you please stop that? My hands have started to work and I can have it on my own"
"I know, but don't stress yourself out like that. I am here to take care of you!", he said, slicing some more pieces to feed her.
Lifen nearly rolled her eyes at his words of excuses. She has never thought that one that she will hear something like that. No one has ever thought of these words, eating your meal could even put people in stress! Whoa someone just say, the sun has started rising from the west. If the former can be called to be true, then why not the later one can be believed.
At this moment Lifen's eyes caught the eyes of two nurses who had been peeping in the room looking at the man who was feeding her so tenderly and patiently.
Was this man doing all this to grab other women's attention. She could clearly see the l.u.s.tful gaze, the woman was having on him. To some extent, it irked her. A wave of possessiveness washed her, urging her to make those women know that this man was already taken and they can't gaze at him like that.
When Deming lifted his hands up again to feed her another peeled slice of apple, he could see her eyes glancing towards the door. Following his gaze, he found the thing that was troubling her.
He smiled, the expression she was having on her face was nothing new to her. He was too accustomed with it, as he has always had such expressions when he has to deliberately savor the taste of the soury – vinegar.
Looking at her like this, he felt a smug smile crawling up his lips. So his Little Cat really knows to get jealous like this. He wanted to go out and give those nurses a thank you hug, for making her girl feel jealous like this. It is very rare to see her taking the sour taste in.
But there is no way he would let her suffer this burning feeling for the long time. Since he had already seen her in this look, it was no more needed for others to see.
He stood up from his chair, to keep aside the plate of apple and then bending down slightly towards her, he held her chin up to make her look into his eyes. "Don't worry, in this life and even in the further lives I will be getting, this Devil will only remain all for his Little Cat"
Then without waiting for another second, he pressed her lips over hers, taking his time to seal the words to confirmation.
Knowing his trick, Lifen could only suppress her smile. This man was really spoiling her rotten. Even taking care of her love rivals all by himself. Was this what he meant when he said that he does not want her to stress out over anything?
