Chapter 799: Chapter 800: The Person is a Bit Delicate!
Huo Yishan squinted her eyes, a smile observing Li Yuan’s second wife. How could she not hear the sarcasm in her tone?
“I’ve seen plenty, and since you’re a lady of noble birth, there must be some respectable talent you possess.”
Huo Yishan’s gaze shifted, and on the left side of the drawing room, she noticed a harp.
Then, she let go of Li Yuan’s hand, walked over to the harp, sat down beside it, and pulled the harp closer to her.
Three seconds later, a melodious tune filled the living room, soothing everyone’s worries.
Li Yuan watched from afar as she played, her lovely profile perfectly framed, as if fixed in a painting yet full of life.
Once the piece had ended, Huo Yishan stood up and walked to the center of the living room, eyes fixed on Li Yuan’s second wife.
“I wonder if the second aunt thinks this kind of thing is presentable?”
Her harp performance was excellent, and Li Yuan’s second wife was momentarily at a loss for words.
Yet, she was begrudging, “The talent is presentable, but the person herself seems rather delicate, needing Li Yuan to carry her for such a short distance. Does that mean she will need to be carried for every little walk in the future?”
She picked at every detail, and although Li Yuan’s wife saw through her, wanting to defend her daughter-in-law, at this point, Huo Yishan just laughed.
“Second Aunt, I am a citizen of Z country; I don’t know how couples in A country are supposed to act. To me, him carrying me when I have a sprained ankle is a display of our deep affection. The more he does this, the stronger our relationship is. Or could it be that the second aunt feels a generation gap because of her age?”
“You!”
Being called old, Li Yuan’s second wife’s face turned sour instantly.
In reality, Huo Yishan could not stand people like her who are sweet in speech but malicious in heart, always with a smirk on their faces and harboring ill intentions!
“Looking dignified and beautiful, but also sharp-tongued.” At this moment, the elder matriarch spoke up.
She had seen this girl brought by her grandson, and deep down, she appreciated her. She liked her calm and forthright nature, unaffected and truthful.
“Grandma,” at this moment, Li Yuan also spoke.
The elder Mrs. Li turned, smiling at her beloved grandson, “Hmm?”
“If you got to know Yishan better, you would like her for sure.”
However, the elder Mrs. Li still smiled stiffly, “Grandma surely likes the young Miss from the Ruan Family. In my heart, nobody can compare to her, the ideal choice to be your wife.”
Li Yuan’s expression turned dark, “Grandma, I think I know better than anyone who is suitable.”
“But you must understand, your marriage is not simply a matter of personal affection.”
Li Yuan fell silent, choosing not to speak.
For this outstanding grandson, the elder Mrs. Li sometimes indulged him, as long as he was not reckless, she generally spoiled him.
“What is your name?”
At this moment, Li Xiangyang’s voice suddenly rose, deep and authoritative.
Huo Yishan turned her head, not at all intimidated by Li Xiangyang; after all, her father’s sternness was even more frightening!
“Huo Yishan.”
“What’s your father’s name?”
“Sorry, I am not ready to tell you my father’s name just yet.”
Li Xiangyang’s brow furrowed, “Why?”
“I don’t wish to answer that. When you really accept me, I will naturally tell you.”
Li Xiangyang was taken aback, his piercing eyes fixated on her serene and untroubled face.
“Hmph! Could it be that your identity is false, hence you dare not invoke your father’s name, fearing your true story will be exposed?” Then, Li Yuan’s first wife also spoke up.
