Chapter 91 How are you going to keep that promise? (1/2)
Earlier Li Youbin was a little surprised when Xiaolu called and informed him about this family dinner. He was a little skeptical when he agreed for it.
For some reason, he felt something was amiss about Li Xiaolu's behavior. He could see the difference between the past and the current Li Xiaolu. It was like she has changed completely. She was no longer the puppet he raised.
Her behavior was just out of his thinking. He was the one who brought her up, he had moulded her behavior in such a way that she was doing everything he needed her too. Everything was going great till the last month.
For some reason, she suddenly changed. She went against his words and did all the things he restricted her to. And now he feels like he can no longer control her.
He knew that nothing would happen without a reason and when he saw the changes in Li Xiaolu's behavior, he was worried and a little cautious.
For many days, he thought of the various reason's that could create such a drastic change in her. He panicked when he thought about, what if she got to know the truth?
He secretly investigated her but he got nothing in return. Later, when Li Xiaolu questioned Chen Yufan about his relationship with Li Roulan he realised that this was the problem. This was the reason for the change in Li Xiaolu's behavior.
He knew Chen Yufan was the one person, for whom Li Xiaolu would do anything and would listen to his every words. And that's why he had instructed Roulan many times to stay alert.
He had told her many times to maintain secrecy but she just wouldn't listen to him. He could see the relationship between Roulan and Xiaolu worsen and that was not good for his plans.
Today also he argued with her over this dinner. When Xiaolu said that she wanted to reconcile with Roulan, he was happy. He talked with Roulan over it and got into an argument with her.
His precious daughter was getting spoiled day by day and acted like a brat. He told her that if was a great opportunity to recrete the bond between her and Li Xiaolu but she had some stupid charity event to attend.
He ordered her to cancel it but she didn't listen to his words and left angrily. Sometimes, he felt it was his fault for spoiling Li Roulan so much but then she was his only child. If he didn't pamper and spoil her then who would?
”If only Roulan was here.... ” Li Yifeng commented breaking Li Youbin from his thoughts.
”Don't worry son, that charity event was very important for sister. If she could she would have canceled it... ” Yu Rushi smiled.
”Yes Yifeng, what your mother is saying is right. What Roulan is doing is for a good cause, we can have another family dinner next time... ” Li Youbin said playing along with his wife.
”Yes Father, but it's been a long time since we had a family dinner with everybody present. If only Roulan could come....” Li Xiaolu sighed in disappointment but then she smiled, ”But I understand, Roulan went for a charity work and we should all be supportive for her”
”So Xiaolu how is your shooting going?” Li Youbin asked diverting their minds from talking about Li Roulan's absence.
