" Ahem* Ahem* Sorry for keeping you waiting, I am greatly ashamed that I failed to serve Young Master, a cup of tea as my granddaughter was asking me about you, and I had to tell a million words to her about your greatness,"


    Suddenly, Patriarch Li hurriedly enters the room.


    He looked at me and instantly knelt on the cold floor while buttering me up.


    " Only a Million words? Isn''t it too little to describe my greatness? " I couldn''t help but mutter looking at him coldly.


    " I-Indeed! How can Young Master''s greatness be described by a mere million words, I was just telling a portion of your greatness to her," the old man responded while his forehead began to sweat.


    " Tch! Get up and have a sit, " saying that, I looked at him and maintained strong eye contact," I guess, you should know very well, why I havee here. Or, do I have to describe myself? "


    " how sinful, why would I need your exnation? It''s like your home, you cane and go as you wish, how dare I ask for an exnation? As for your presence today, it would be rted to my granddaughter, " he responded feeling the cold chilling sensation on his back.


    " You are quick to catch on, I came here to pick up what belongs to me, " I responded with a straight face.


    Hearing my words, the patriarch looked at me with narrow eyes, while his pulse began to run rampage in anger.


    Even without reading his mind, I can already figure out, that he is angry that I am creating his precious granddaughter as a toy.


    Well, technically speaking, even if decide to treat a woman as a toy, it''s her honor.


    [ Ding! Indeed, being noticed by you is already the greatest honor for them ]


    Correct, he should feel proud that, I am taking his granddaughter.


    Nheless,


    " It seems, the old man doesn''t like my words that much, judging from your ugly expression, if you have a problem then, speak up," I let out while picking up the cup and taking another sip.


    " N-No! No! How can I have a problem with your words, it''s just that I am born with an ugly face so, it feels like I am having an ugly expression," - Patriarch Li.


    I chuckled at Patriarch Li''s feeble attempt to downy his difort," Born with an ugly face, you say? Well, that''s not my concern..." muttering while waving my hand, I looked at Li Su and after that, I turned back to Patriarch Li.


    " by the way, Patriarch Li. You were pretty lucky that day, or else, your grandson, Li Yan would have died too in the hands of Yang Khan," I said while slightly arching forward closer to patriarch Li.


    Hearing this, his face slightly turns quishy and wrinkled, " Indeed! If that day young master hadn''t exposed that bastard Yang Khan, a cmity would have urred in our bloodline," the patriarch Li uttered while lowering his face.


    " Hehe! Is that so, but, I heard it was you who created that master n... So, Patriarch Li, why did you order Yang Khan to kill all those kids? Was it because you want your grandson to be the only genius in this era...or, you want a treasure that can cure your granddaughter," saying that, I looked straight into his eyes that was in a state of shock.


    " Th-This? " Li Su exims as she puts her n over her mouth, to not show her opened mouth.


    " Wh-What nonsense is this? Why would we need to such an underhand method? I don''t know where Young master heard this but, it''s totally false, we have no connection with Yang Khan or the Yang family, " Patriarch Li uttered in a single breath.


    " Ooh! If that is the case then, Patriarch Li must have noticed Yang Khan in disguise near your grandson, why didn''t you speak at that time?... It felt like, you were trying to hide his existence, " saying that, I leaned back sittingfortably while taking another sip.


    " About that... Indeed, I have seen an unfamiliar figure beside my child, however, I didn''t give it much thought thinking he must be one of our servants, looking at his clothes, " Patriarch Li said while looking at the marble floor.


    " Sigh! I guess, the rumor I heard is fake, after all, how can the Li family fall such low, I would like to apologize for my action, " I said while I looked at Li Su, hinting at her to refill my cup.


    Hearing this, a holy smile tugged on both of their faces, while, Li Su, came forward and refilled my cup.


    " No! No! How can Young Master ask for forgiveness, it wasn''t you who came up with this conspiracy,  it''s a good thing Young Master has some trust in us," Patriarch Li said with a warm smile.


    With a subtle smirk as I nce at him,"You tter me, trust is a valuablemodity, Patriarch Li, and I appreciate your assurance. However, let''s not dwell on the past. Let bygones be bygones, Now, back to the matter at hand, let''s talk about Li Mei."


    Patriarch Li''s eyes flickered with a mix of relief and curiosity. " Ah! Yes, Young Master. Li Mei is a precious gem within our family, and if you wish to take her under your wings, we wouldn''t dare object, it would be a great honor, "


    " Wise decision," I replied, taking another sip of tea. " I''m sure Li Mei will thrive under my guidance. But let''s establish some ground rules. She''s mine now, and I expect her to be treated with the respect and care she deserves. "


    Li Su nodded vigorously, her eyes darting between me and Patriarch Li. " O-Of course, Young Master. We will ensure her happiness and well-being in your service."


    Patriarch Li, chimed in, " Your words are ourmand, Young Master,"


    " I see, since everything is settled, I want to have a look at your body Miss Li Su, could you please take off your dress,"
