Chapter 1047 Let Chi Enen Take Scarlett to Visit Li's House
Mr. Li looked at her as if he had just noticed someone nearby. His eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He replied directly, "Miss Chi is a guest at home."
Scarlett had only asked casually, but she didn't expect Chi Enen to be a guest.
In her opinion, Chi Enen was probably a servant or a private nurse who looked after the old man's health, so she was here.
Unexpectedly, she was a guest.
But...why would a guest appear in an important occasion?
Scarlett's beautiful almond eyes looked at Chi Enen, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. She thought she had hidden it well, but Chi Enen still caught the hostility in her eyes.
Chi Enen instantly understood the purpose of Mr. Li bringing her here - to show off his power!
Yesterday she said that no matter whether the old man agreed with her or not, she would not separate from Li Beijue. Today, the old man took her to meet the beautiful, likable princess who obviously had a good impression of Li Beijue. What else could it be if it wasn't to show off her power?
Chi Enen had a headache, but she didn't act rude and said politely, "Hi, Your Highness."
Scarlett didn't like her instinctively, but she smiled back. She turned her head and moved her eyes to Mr. Li, and said coquettishly, "This is my first time to the Li family. Grandpa Li, please take me on a tour."
Mr. Li didn't think twice, "I have a meeting to attend now. Let's do this. I'll let Miss Chi and the housekeeper accompany you for a walk."
Although Scarlett was disappointed that he couldn't go with her, she didn't pester him too much, "Okay, Grandpa Li is busy first. I can go for a walk by myself."
Mr. Li didn't stay for long and went upstairs.
The old housekeeper bent down to Scarlett as he instructed, "Your Highness, do you want to go for a walk?"
Scarlett's original intention was to let the old man go with her, so that she could try to show her performance. Secondly, if the old man was unwell or didn't want to go, generally speaking, according to courtesy, he would let another owner of the castle accompany him. She could see that person again.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li did not follow the rules at all. Not only did he not accompany her, he did not even let that person accompany her.
She didn't want to go anymore, but when she thought about how she was already here, she gritted her teeth and said, "Of course. Please lead the way."
"Okay, Your Highness, please follow me." The old housekeeper walked in front, suddenly stopped, looked at Chi Enen next to him, and said familiarly and kindly, "Miss Chi, let's go together."
His eyes were kind, and Chi Enen also smiled back at him and followed him, "Okay."
Watching the interaction between the two, Scarlett frowned fiercely, and the eyes that had examined Chi Enen once before fell on Chi Enen again, and the doubts in her eyes became even worse.
Didn't the old lord say that she was just a guest?
Since she was a guest, why did he let her take her around?
Also, why was the old housekeeper at home so close to this guest?
She felt strange, and her hostility towards Chi Enen became more obvious. She had already silently defined Chi Enen as someone she didn't like in her heart.
Chi Enen didn't know that she had done nothing, but had already been defined as a person disliked by the distinguished princess. She followed the old butler and listened to him talking about the huge and majestic castle, from the origin of the castle to the history of the Li family. The details made her feel that the old butler was not talking to the princess behind him, but to her. He wanted her to know more about the Li family...
