Chapter 2109: Complicated Relations.h.i.+p

Since Madam Li was angry, Du Jiayi did not dare to say anything else. She secretly glared at Li Yuan who had caused her to be criticized and felt depressed.

Thinking of the complexity of her maternal grandfathers family, Du Jiayi pursed her lips and gently held Madam Lis arm. She said softly, Mom, dont be angry. Brother and I know what to do. We wont embarra.s.s you and Third Uncle in front of Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle.

Why did she say that her daughter was a caring little girl? Actually, she meant that she was meticulous.

Her daughter could tell that she was angry and immediately came to coax her. Her son, on the other hand, would not. Men were not so meticulous. Men only cared about personal gains and losses.

Sighing, Madam Li patted her daughters shoulder. Im relieved that youre sensible. Dont tell your brother that he cant rely on your uncle in the future. Your eldest uncle and your grandmother are like fire and water. Its good that your second uncle doesnt take care of things. It saves your grandma from having to worry. Your third uncle has just returned to the country. How can he help your brother?

Besides, theres still Li Jinnian. He alone is enough for your grandmother and third uncle to worry about. Lets settle our own matters and not trouble your grandmother.

At the mention of her family, Madam Li was no longer in a good mood.

Seeing her frown and her reluctance to talk about it, Du Jiayi nodded obediently. She hid the complexity in her eyes.

Her maternal family was wealthy, but their relations.h.i.+p with each other was extraordinarily complicated.

Her grandfather had been a playboy all his life. He married her eldest grandmother and gave birth to her eldest and second uncles. However, it was later found out that he had a mistress outside of the house, who was her eldest grandmothers sister. They gave birth to her third uncle and mother.

What surprised her even more was that Little Granny and Big Granny were actually not related by blood. Little Granny was the adopted daughter of Big Grannys family.

Later on, her maternal grandfathers affair with his sister-in-law was exposed. Her stubborn grandmother directly slapped her twice, and the two sisters turned against each other.

It was not until Big Granny died of an illness that Little Granny was able to enter the Li family and become the wife of her grandfather.

The two elderly women had fought for her maternal grandfather for a lifetime, allowing the grudges of the older generation to continue to the next generation.

Du Jiayi couldnt help but let out a long sigh when she thought about how her maternal grandfathers family clearly had a prominent family background, but the grudges of the older generation still affected their generation.

It was quiet in the car, so her heavy sigh was especially obvious.

Madam Li, who was in a bad mood, found it funny. Why are you sighing for no reason? Why? Is there anything you need to worry about at home?

Mom, Im thinking about Little Granny. Adjusting her sitting position, she whispered, Mom, just tell me what happened to my maternal family back then.

Why did First Aunt unexpectedly die in an accident and why was Third Uncle forced to leave the army and go to a foreign country? Just tell me about it. I really want to know.

Back then, something had happened to the Li family and they almost collapsed. From then on, Uncle and Grandma were even more incompatible. Until now, Uncle had never called Little Granny Mom.

Hearing this, Madam Lis face turned cold again. She said in a low voice, Dont ask about things you shouldnt know!

Why

Staff Officer Du interrupted Du Jiayi to ask another question. He chuckled and said, Jiayi, thats all old history. We have to move on. Whats a young lady like you doing, digging through old history?

It was still as secretive as before. As long as it was mentioned, their expressions would change.

Oh, Du Jiayi said reluctantly. She thought for a moment, then asked, Didnt Li Jinnian say he was back? Mom, do you think hell come to our house tomorrow?
