Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

a few minutes ago.

After watering the flowers, Hua Chaochao waited for Yi Mu for a long time but he didn't come back. She felt a little bored and decided to go out for a walk.

In fact, she saw Li Ningxiang pestering Yi Mu earlier than the guards, but she chose to watch the show from the side. In the middle, she stopped someone and asked him to notify Li Qingchi.

Li Qingchi was in the study at that time. He had just answered Shen Kun's call and hadn't said a few words when a servant hurried in to report.

Since it was about Ye Xiao, Li Qingchi had to hang up the phone temporarily and drive to the scene of the incident.

……

"Grandpa, why are you here?" In front of Li Qingchi, Li Ningxiang put away her willfulness, with a sweet smile on her face, looking like a well-behaved granddaughter.

If it were normal days, Li Qingchi might not have the heart to be mean to her, but at this moment he was filled with worry, and said coldly: "You can still laugh? Look at what you have done for me!"

Li Ningxiang's smile froze, and she looked at Li Qingchi in confusion: "What did I do?"

Li Qingchi: "You still don't know what's wrong. Didn't I tell you to be respectful to Ye Xiao when you see her? But you actually snatched her person in front of her. What are you going to do..."

Just then, a light cough interrupted Li Qingchi's unfinished words.

"Chief Li, it's not as serious as you say. I can understand Miss Ningxiang. Who doesn't like handsome men?" Hua Chaochao said sympathetically.

"That's right, Grandpa." Li Ningxiang quickly agreed, and deliberately showed the red marks on her neck to her grandfather. "And you see, he also hit me. I was almost strangled to death."

Although she said these words, Li Ningxiang was confused in her heart: Grandpa seemed to be afraid of Ye Xiao, why?

Ye Xiao is just the assistant of the Hidden Network Master. What's so scary about him?

Not only Li Ningxiang felt so, Hua Xi also felt something was wrong and couldn't help but look at Hua Chaochao a few more times.

Li Qingchi looked at the red mark on his granddaughter's neck and was actually a little angry, but because of Hua Chaochao, he could only suppress his emotions and said, "He would pinch you if you didn't provoke him? Why don't you apologize quickly!"

Li Qingchi knew very well that Hua Chaochao's considerate words were just a pretense. If she really thought so, she would not have asked someone to call him over.

Li Ningxiang was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Grandpa, what did you say? You want me to apologize?"

Li Qingchi: "Yes, apologize."

"I don't! Grandpa, I don't accept that you are helping outsiders!" Li Ningxiang's eyes suddenly became wet, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Li Qingchi felt a headache after hearing Li Ningxiang's crying.

He pressed his forehead, his tone somewhat helpless, "Ningxiang, listen, it was indeed you who did something wrong this time."

Li Ningxiang still refused to apologize and turned her head away stubbornly, looking refusing to give in.

She would never apologize to a person of lower status.

After repeated persuasions to no avail, Li Qingchi's face gradually darkened. He was now on the verge of losing his temper. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, Hua Chaochao's voice rang in his ears:

"Okay, Chief Li, please don't embarrass Miss Ningxiang. She is still young and it is inevitable that she will act impulsively. There is no need to apologize."

This was Hua Chaochao's true feelings. Since Li Ningxiang didn't want to apologize, then forget it. She didn't have to apologize.

Regardless of the fact that Yi Mu didn't care, in her opinion, Li Ningxiang just fell in love with one person and didn't commit any big mistake.

Li Qingchi understood the true meaning of Hua Chaochao's words, and his expression eased a little. "Since Miss Ye said so, let's drop the matter for now. But you have to remember not to act so rashly in the future."

Li Ningxiang raised her hand to wipe away her tears, pouted her lips, and whispered, "I know, Grandpa."

"You go back first."

Li Qingchi turned to look at the guards standing by and waiting quietly, "Send the young lady back."

"Yes, patriarch."

After Li Ningxiang walked away, Li Qingchi waved away the driver who brought him here.

At this moment, only he, Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu were left at the scene.

Hua Chaochao certainly understood the purpose of Li Qingchi's actions, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Li Qingchi took a deep breath before speaking, "When Ningxiang was born, her mother died of complications during childbirth, so her family inevitably spoiled her a little, which led to her spoiled personality. If you're still angry, I apologize to you on her behalf."

He could only say these words to Hua Chaochao. If it were anyone else, he would definitely favor his granddaughter unconditionally.

Hua Chaochao nodded and said in a tone like an elder: "According to what you said, she is indeed a very pitiful child. Don't worry, I said, she is still young, I won't bother with her."

Yi Mu, who was standing behind her, listened quietly with his eyes closed. His empty right hand clenched and opened unconsciously.

He thought sadly that she felt pity for everyone except him.

After confirming that Hua Chaochao would no longer pursue the matter, Li Qingchi's tense heart finally relaxed completely.

He was really afraid that this incident would affect their relationship, otherwise he would not have left Shen Kun and rushed here.

"Is there anything else?" Hua Chaochao asked.

Without her she went back to making tea.

Li Qingchi: “No more.”

Now that there are no "ghosts" to destroy the machine, the experiment is progressing very smoothly.

"Okay, let's go." Hua Chaochao turned around.

He took a step forward, but suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.

Hua Chaochao didn't turn around, but said with his back to Li Qingchi, "By the way, let me remind you that walls have ears, so don't talk about experiments in the study room, lest someone with ulterior motives overhears."

Li Qingchi's face changed slightly, but before he could ask for detailed information, Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu had already walked away.
