Old Master Li was in a hurry to go to the study to avoid Li Jinnian upstairs, but he didn't know that Li Jinnian had heard everything.
"I heard that Jinnian is back. Where is he?" Li Ronghuan pretended that he didn't hear anything. He turned around and looked upstairs. "Is he still sleeping upstairs? That brat. Doesn't he know that his uncle is back?"
On the second floor, Li Jinnian, who had been listening for a while, slowly retreated to his room. Right on the heels of that, he opened the door and closed it again. Then, he slowly walked toward the first floor.
Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. Old Master Li's angry shout came from downstairs. "Why do you care about an outsider? Uncle? In his eyes, our Li family is filled with outsiders!"
Li Ronghuan turned a deaf ear to him. Instead, he quickened his pace. Before he reached the second floor, he stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look at the young man standing at the top of the stairs.
