If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1301: I’ve Been Wanting to Hold My Grandchild for a Long Time
Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: I’ve Been Wanting to Hold My Grandchild for a Long Time
Li’s mother did not listen this time and turned to glance at Li’s father, giving a cold snort, "Then you just sit here."
"You!" Li’s father was truly infuriated.
Li’s mother adjusted her shawl and asked the old servant, "Where is Beiting? Did he come alone?"
"Madam, the young master is in the guest room. The young master didn’t come alone, he’s with the young mistress and the little young master."
When she heard "little young master," a sparkle flashed in Li’s mother’s eyes, but when she heard that Yu Weiwei had also come, a slight change appeared on her face.
She still remembered that stubborn woman who would never admit defeat. She always thought that the woman had been misleading Li Beiting.
Just as they were about to reach the guest room, Li’s mother suddenly stopped walking and turned towards another small living room. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Tell them I’m here." After sitting down, Li’s mother poured a cup of tea.
"Alright, alright," the old servant nodded.
He clearly understood Li’s mother’s intentions. Even if she wanted to see her son desperately, as a senior, she could not lower herself to meet the juniors, especially not a junior who was at fault.
The old servant hurried to the guest room.
Li Beiting and Yu Weiwei were playing with the little toddler, who was very happy and laughing "giggling" continuously.
"Young master, young mistress, please follow me," the old servant said.
"Hmm," Li Beiting nodded, taking Yu Weiwei’s hand.
Yu Weiwei’s palm was very cold, probably out of nervousness. She had met Li Beiting’s parents only a few times, but each meeting left a bad impression, whether it was their treatment of her or hers of them.
Of course, she was also prepared to be thrown out of the Li Family, at worst she would go visit Xu Chaomu.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since she visited Xu Chaomu’s home, and she quite missed the Shen Family’s lavish mansion, which was much bigger than the Li’s.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s okay," Li Beiting whispered softly.
Soon, the old servant led them into the small living room.
Upon entering the room, they did not see Li Beiting’s father, only his mother sitting on the sofa sipping tea and reading the newspaper, disinterestedly.
The old servant left and closed the door behind them.
"Mom," Li Beiting called out, squeezing Yu Weiwei’s hand again.
Yu Weiwei also called out, "Mom."
Li’s mother clearly had no reaction to Yu Weiwei’s "Mom", just giving a cold snort without saying anything.
"Come on, little one, call her grandma!" Li Beiting held the little fellow, prompting him.
He had taught the little guy many times before, it would truly be face-losing if he couldn’t do it now.
"Call grandma," Li Beiting repeated.
"Gran... grandma..." The little one uttered unclearly, but called out earnestly.
This utterance melted Li’s mother’s heart, she finally looked up at them. She couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes, but still maintained her dignity.
Li Beiting sensed his mother’s thoughts, he directly carried the little one over, smiling, "Mom, look, doesn’t the little guy look a lot like me when I was young?"
Li’s mother scoffed with disdain.
Li Beiting knew she was still keeping up appearances!
He had no choice but to put the little toddler into Li’s mother’s arms, coaxing him, "Come, let grandma hold you, grandma will give the little toddler something tasty."
The little toddler giggled, his chubby hands grabbed Li’s mother’s hand.
Li’s mother couldn’t keep up her pretense anymore, what was there to pretend with such an adorable child in front of her?
She hugged the little toddler, and as the little one laughed, she laughed along.
"Oh, are you called little toddler?" Li’s mother asked joyfully.
"Eeeyah..." The little bun waved his hands and feet, showing no shyness.
"How old is he now?" Mother Li asked.
Li Beiting said from the side, "Two years old."
"I didn’t ask you!" Mother Li glared at him.
Li Beiting had no choice but to shut up and secretly waved to Yu Weiwei, motioning for her to come over.
"Little bun, your sweater is so pretty, who bought it for you?" Mother Li asked.
The little bun glanced at Yu Weiwei, and Mother Li also looked over. She sighed inwardly; things were already set in stone, persisting would do no good.
This daughter-in-law, aside from being a bit stubborn, probably didn’t have any other significant flaws.
She secretly compared Yu Weiwei with Mi Fei, knowing that although Yu Weiwei was better than Mi Fei in some aspects, she was still not as good as Mi Fei in her heart.
But there was nothing she could do since her son liked her.
Li Beiting secretly tugged at Yu Weiwei’s hand again, signaling her to speak.
The usually straightforward Yu Weiwei became restrained, and with a slight smile she said: "Mom, I also brought a gift for you, carefully chosen by Beiting and me."
With that, Yu Weiwei took out and opened up a pearl necklace.
Mother Li took a glance and responded indifferently, "Pretty good."
"Mom, little bun also really likes this necklace, he has been wanting to play with it, but I didn’t give it to him," Li Beiting said with a smile.
"Oh? Really? You like it? But you are a boy, boys don’t wear necklaces," Mother Li said while holding the little bun.
It was obvious, Mother Li really liked the little bun, really, really liked him.
She and Father Li had long wished to have a grandchild, and now that they had such a cute grandson in their arms, why wouldn’t they like him?
"Mom, where is Dad?" Li Beiting asked.
"In the living room."
"Mom, will you come with us?" Li Beiting invited, knowing that many things would be easier with Mother Li there.
"Little bun, do you want to see Grandpa?" Mother Li teased the little guy.
The little guy nodded his head; he actually didn’t understand what it meant, but just felt that this grandma was quite nice.
"Alright then, Grandma will take you to see him."
Mother Li held the little bun and wouldn’t hand him back to Li Beiting and Yu Weiwei. She led the way to the living room.
Father Li was sitting in the chair, sulking as he thought about that marriage issue again; just thinking about it made him feel physically uncomfortable, fuming alone.
The door to the living room opened, bringing in a gust of cold air, along with laughter and the babbling sounds of the child.
"Dad," Li Beiting called out.
Father Li sat with his back to them, his body stiffened upon hearing the call, his hands clenched, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes reflecting a mix of complex emotions.
"Dad," Yu Weiwei also called out timidly.
Father Li’s emotions fluctuated greatly; it had been a whole year and a half since he last saw Li Beiting, and he had actually come back!
He sat rigid, still not turning around.
At that moment, Li Beiting patted little bun’s hand gently and said softly, "Little bun, look, that is Grandpa, call him Grandpa."
Little bun obediently called out in his milky voice, "Grandpa."
Li Beiting was extremely satisfied, all his efforts in teaching over many days were not in vain; little bun was really impressive.
"Say it again," Li Beiting whispered.
"Grandpa!"
At that moment, Father Li’s heart was completely shattered.
