238 Squatting and Guarding
Grandpa Le was sincerely advising Le Yan not to act smart, so he kept his eyes fixed on Le Wan. If one didnât know when to stop, one would only suffer even more.
However, when the words reached Le Yanâs ears, it became Grandpa Leâs favoritism towards Le Wan. She thought that he was scolding her and defending Le Wan.
Grandpa Le saw the jealousy in her eyes and was disappointed.
âCall your father and tell him not to wait outside today. I wonât see him again for a while. Tell him to give up.â
After the big fight with Second Uncle Le that day, Old Master Le declared that he would no longer care about his affairs and even wanted to bring Old Madam Le to the Southern Province to recuperate. Second Uncle Le panicked and played a trick of injuring himself, but it didnât change Old Master Leâs mind. In the situation where he had no other choice, he could only come to the old mansion every day to stop them, determined to change the two eldersâ minds.
Old Master Le and Old Madam Le were annoyed by his pestering and had no choice but to chase him out. They even asked the security guards to stop him from entering the house again. Second Uncle Le could only stand at the door in a grievance.
âRather than wasting his time on an old man like me, he might as well spend his energy on his game company. Heâs been busy for a few months now, surely heâs going to start his company?â
Le Yan didnât think much of the old manâs words. In her opinion, Le Tang, her biological father, was obviously unreliable. When she encouraged Second Uncle Le to start a game company, it was purely to make things difficult for Le Wan.
If she could get her hands on Zhai Jingâs game which could make a lot of money, it would be a great deal for her. Even if she didnât get the game project, she wouldnât lose out if she could cause some trouble for Le Wan.
As for her father, Le Tang, with his little ability, Le Yan had never had any expectations of him from the beginning to the end. She had long lost the idea of letting him strive and make a name for himself.
âAlthough my father is not a reliable person, he is always filial,â Le Yan advised. âThe reason why heâs so anxious this time is because heâs worried about you and grandma. Heâs worried that you two will go so far away to the Southern continent.â
âHmph, you donât need to find an excuse for that stinky brat. Iâm his father. As soon as he pushes me, I know what heâs thinking.â
Old Master Le only felt that the second branch was really a crooked stick with a crooked shadow. All of them liked to be self-righteous and thought that they were smart. They couldnât even communicate with them.
Grandpa Le sat back in his study room with some anger. After thinking about it, he still called his eldest son.
Second Uncle Le woke up early the following day, which was a rare occasion. He carried many bags of things and came to the old mansion.
Last night, he discussed with le Yan. They thought that since they couldnât persuade the old man, they would let them go. At most, Second Uncle Le would follow them to the Southern continent with the excuse that he was worried about the two elders. In this way, when he arrived in the Southern continent, he could stay far away from the first branch and find an opportunity to win over the two elders.
Second Uncle Le had a good plan. He even pulled Second Aunt Le to pack a large suitcase and asked Le Yan to let him into the old house secretly.
However, the excited Second Uncle Le sat in the living room and waited for more than an hour. He waited left and right, but he didnât see Grandpa Le and Gandma Le come out. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
He ran to the eldersâ bedroom and their study. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the packed luggage was still there.
At that moment, a servant walked past with a bucket of dirty water. He quickly stopped the servant and asked,
âWhere are the old master and the others? Where did they run off so early in the morning? Did he go to the park to join in the fun and exercise, or did he go fishing?â
âOld Master and Old Lady got up early in the morning and went out. As for where they went, I donât know,â the servant replied.
Was he going out in the early hours of the morning? Even if he wanted to go to the gym and fish, there was no need to go out so early. Second Uncle Le seemed to have realized something and his heart suddenly sank.
He finally realized what was wrong. The old residence was too quiet today.
To take care of the mansion, there were also two old people, including the cook, the maid, the gardener, the driver, and the security guards. There were about ten people in total, plus three owners. Even if they tried to keep quiet, as long as there were signs of activity, they would definitely make a sound. It sounded quite lively.
But today, apart from the occasional sound of cleaning, there were no signs of other peopleâs activities.
âWhy did I see that there are only a few of you in the house? Did the others go to slack off?â
Second Uncle Le grabbed the young female servant and asked.
