Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Old Master Li Wants to See Her
Half an hour later.
The car drove into the Li family’s super luxurious mansion, which resembled a castle.
As soon as the car stopped, the old butler got out first and opened the car door for her, "Miss Chi, please."
"Thank you." Chi Enen politely thanked him, considering his age, for opening the car door for her.
The old butler’s eyes softened a bit, and he said gently, "Miss Chi, there’s no need to be polite. It’s my duty. Master Jue is waiting for you inside, please follow me."
Chi Enen hadn’t been back for several days, and after a period away, stepping into the Li family’s super luxurious mansion still left her involuntarily shocked by its opulence.
When the old butler led her to the reception room.
Chi Enen immediately saw Old Master Li, draped in a coat, trimming potted plant branches. He looked somewhat haggard, but his aura was so powerful that few would notice his complexion in his presence.
However, Chi Enen noticed the dark circles under his eyes and called out to him, "Grandfather."
"You’re here?" Old Master Li put down the scissors for trimming flowers, looking as hale and hearty as always, his piercing eyes just as imposing, "Sit."
Chi Enen sat on the sofa.
A servant immediately came over and asked, "Miss Chi, would you like coffee or tea?"
Chi Enen glanced at Old Master Li and said, "Two cups of warm milk, please."
The servant seemed unsure if they had heard wrong, "Miss Chi wants two cups of warm milk?"
Drinking milk was one thing, but asking for two cups—was she sure they hadn’t misheard?
It was her first time preparing warm milk in the reception room.
"Yes, two cups. One without sugar," Chi Enen responded calmly, as if her request was not strange at all.
Only Old Master Li raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her.
The servant turned to make the preparations.
The efficiency of the Li family’s staff was impressively quick, even the servants worked at a daunting pace. Soon, two steaming cups of warm milk were brought over, "Miss Chi, the cup on the left has sugar, while the one on the right does not. To make it easier for you to distinguish, I used two different colored mugs. If you can’t remember, feel free to call me anytime."
"Thank you."
The servant dared not respond, silently stepping aside.
Chi Enen naturally pushed the cup of unsweetened warm milk in the red mug towards Old Master Li, "Grandfather, milk aids sleep."
Old Master Li had tried everything in this life, but no one had ever offered him warm milk.
His reserved pupils narrowed in a display of pressure, hands resting on his dragon head crutch, neither responding nor rejecting, leaving his thoughts unknown.
After half a moment, he furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I don’t have diabetes."
"..." I don’t have diabetes? What does that mean? Could it be what she thought it meant? Chi Enen felt uncertain but still quietly took the unsweetened warm milk back and placed the sugared warm milk in front of him, "I didn’t know, I just heard the doctor mention that older people should consume less high-sugar foods. This one is sweetened, and sweetened warm milk does indeed taste better than the unsweetened."
Old Master Li glanced at her again, suddenly raised his head, and instructed the servant beside him, "Bring some cube sugar!"
"Yes, Master Jue."
