Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Little Baby Stands Up For His Family
The first person to get out of the car was the old butler, followed by a super cute little boy who jumped off and excitedly ran towards Rong Yan, “Mom.”
“Be careful, don’t fall,” Rong Yan embraced him with open arms.
At this moment, the old butler walked over, greeting Rong Yan politely yet distantly, “Miss Rong.”
“Hello, Mr. Butler,” Rong Yan always smiled warmly at her elders, and said with a kind attitude, “Thank you for bringing Little Baby over to me.”
The butler was satisfied with this gesture, nodded and said, “Madam ordered it, it’s my duty.”
However, he glanced to the side and slightly frowned before turning back to Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, do you plan to have dinner with the young master here tonight?”
This place was both small and ordinary, not fitting for the young master’s status at all! How could Miss Rong bring the young master here to eat? What if it upset the young master’s stomach? Moreover, the young master is the future heir to Li Group; he should be receiving an elite education from a young age. Why does Miss Rong keep bringing the young master to such down-to-earth places? Could it be that she wants the young master to grow up and become someone like her?
Miss Shen surely wouldn’t do such a thing.
The butler had no personal issue with Rong Yan, he simply believed that she was not a good match for Li Shengxiao, and Shen Siyuan would be more suitable for Li Shengxiao.
Therefore, he was particularly critical of some of Rong Yan’s actions, viewing them with a prejudiced eye.
Even though Jiang Meiqi had reminded him last time, seeing Rong Yan bring Li Duidui to such ordinary eateries, he still couldn’t control his emotions and asked Rong Yan something that sounded like a challenge.
Before Rong Yan could answer, the little boy who had just rushed into her embrace suddenly turned around, his beautiful little face sternly set and he stood protectively in front of Rong Yan, “I asked Mom to bring me here for dinner. Do you have a problem with that, Mr. Butler?”
The old butler did not agree with Rong Yan bringing Li Duidui here for a meal, but he had never expected the normally sensible young master to suddenly lose his temper with him. As a butler, he obviously couldn’t talk back to his master. Though surprised, and believing that Rong Yan’s usual behavior had influenced Little Baby, he still bowed his head, somewhat awkwardly apologizing, “I have no objections, sorry, young master.”
Li Duidui was no ordinary child; from a young age, he had a keen eye for detail. He could tell that the old butler didn’t really have ‘no objections’ as he claimed and saw some targeting towards Rong Yan. His respect for the old butler diminished instantly, “As long as there’s no issue, that’s good.”
He stared at the old butler, issuing a warning with his childish voice, “Mom is my mom, no matter what happens, she will always be my mom. Please don’t ever forget that, Mr. Butler.”
Rong Yan was dumbstruck by Little Baby’s series of actions and pulled back the little guy, who was exuding a powerful presence, disapprovingly, “Duidui, you mustn’t be rude!”
“Mom…” Little Baby pouted after being chided, but Rong Yan was resolute, and he quietly quieted down after sulking.
Rong Yan then apologized to the old butler, “I’m sorry, Mr. Butler. It’s my fault for not disciplining him well, please don’t take his words to heart.”
She wasn’t blind; she could see that the old butler didn’t like her very much, even had some objections to her!
But as he was under Mrs. Lin, who was very kind to her, she didn’t want to cause any conflict with the butler.
