Half an hour later. Chi Enen returned to the Li Castle alone.
The old butler, along with the servants, was already waiting outside.
As soon as the car stopped, the old butler immediately bent over to open the car door for her, "Young Lady, watch your head."
He gentlemanly held the car roof for Chi Enen to prevent her from accidentally hitting her head while getting out, supporting her as she stepped out of the car.
"Thank you." Chi Enen felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly got out of the car.
The old butler’s face, weathered by the years, was kindly and amiable. He smiled and took a coat from the hand of a nearby servant, draping it over Chi Enen’s shoulders while saying, "Young Lady, there’s no need to be so formal with me, these are things I should do. Master Jue called earlier to say that you were only wearing pajamas, so I brought out a coat for you. Please go inside quickly, it’s cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Wrapped in the warm clothes, Chi Enen also felt warm from the care she was receiving. She agreed with a smile, "Okay."
She then followed the old butler inside.
The old butler led her through the long corridor, softly saying, "Old Master Jue has been waiting for you for more than two hours. It’s good that you’re okay. You wouldn’t know, but since Old Master Jue saw the news online, he’s been very worried about your health these past two days. Luckily, you’re safe and sound. Seeing that you’re fine, Old Master Jue will feel relieved."
"News online?" Chi Enen was still in the dark. While on the small island, she was basically kept in bed by Li Beijue, not setting foot off the bed, let alone having time to check the news.
So she wasn’t aware that there were rumors outside saying she lost her voice.
"Nothing important, just some people online talking nonsense to attract clicks, fabricating news about you losing your voice."
As soon as the news came out, he knew that Young Lady’s situation wasn’t as severe as reported.
If it were truly that severe, the young master would at least send a message back.
Old Master Jue actually knew this in his heart but still worried about the Young Lady’s health. Outwardly feigning indifference, he couldn’t hold back for two days before calling Master Jue to have them both return home.
He secretly pursed his lips to suppress a laugh.
That’s just how Old Master Jue is, concerned for the Young Lady but still pretends not to acknowledge her in front of others.
Old Master Jue must realize that he’s been working by his side for so many years.
When had he ever seen someone he didn’t approve of, make it through the door?
If Old Master Jue truly didn’t approve of someone, having a child wouldn’t change that.
The young master’s birth mother was an example.
Did Old Master Jue love the young master?
Of course he did!
But the young master’s birth mother could never become part of the Li family in her lifetime.
But the Young Lady is different. The young master was able to marry the Young Lady, and Old Master Jue personally arranged that. What does that show? It shows that Old Master Jue actually likes the Young Lady deep down. He just won’t admit it because of his pride, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge it.
Otherwise, the chips of just the Little Young Master and Little Miss wouldn’t be enough to move him.
"Old Master Jue is really concerned about you this time, Young Lady. He doesn’t say it, but he hasn’t been resting well these few days. So when the doctor examines you later, I hope that for Old Master Jue’s sake, you’ll cooperate with the checkup."
Chi Enen wasn’t aware that Old Master Li had also called a personal doctor for her. Hearing what the old butler said, she pursed her lips and asked worriedly, "Has Grandfather not been resting well these past few days? And... what about his appetite?"
