My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 801 - : Why are you speaking ill of my mother?

Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Why are you speaking ill of my mother?

At that moment, a milky voice joined in, first gently calling out, “Grandma.”

Lin Zhiya’s angry face slightly cleared, and her previously stern expression instantly softened as she smiled and opened her arms, “Grandma’s little treasure woke up? Come here, come to Grandma.”

Li Duidui immediately ran up to her, letting her pick him up and sit him on her lap. He then looked up with a cute expression at the old butler, who was awkwardly hanging his head, and suddenly asked, “Does Mr. Butler not like my mom?”

— Does Mr. Butler not like my mom?

His tone was innocent, like a child unaware of the ways of the world, utterly guileless.

He had no idea how his question could make someone so embarrassed.

...

Mr. Butler’s already embarrassed expression gained a hint of awkwardness. He looked at Lin Zhiya, but since Lin Zhiya responded indifferently and did not speak in his defense, he could only force a smile, “No, I do not dislike Miss Rong.”

The beautiful five-year-old boy didn’t know whether to believe him or not, tilting his head. Those pure, large eyes were so adorable yet made one feel overwhelmingly targeted, “Really? But I just heard Mr. Butler speaking ill of my mom.”

Mr. Butler broke out in a sweat on his forehead, “That… I didn’t mean to speak ill of Miss Rong, I was just discussing Miss Rong with madam.”

“Discussing my mom means speaking ill of her? Why, Grandma doesn’t dislike my mom. Why would you speak ill of my mom when talking to Grandma?”

He didn’t wait for Mr. Butler to reply, suddenly sharp, “Oh, I get it now. Mr. Butler, because Grandma doesn’t dislike my mom, you deliberately spoke ill of her in front of Grandma so that Grandma would start disliking my mom…”

“But my mom told me that speaking ill of others behind their backs is bad, and people who do that are not nice and will grow up to be despised. Mom also told me Mr. Butler is an elder, and that I must respect him. Even though Duidui can see Mr. Butler doesn’t like her, we shouldn’t make it hard for Mr. Butler because he has been with Grandma for so long. If Duidui were to dislike Mr. Butler, it would make things difficult for Grandma being caught in the middle.”

His childlike speech was utterly adorable, “Mom has taught Duidui, doesn’t Mr. Butler know, even though his hair is already white?”

“…” For the first time, Mr. Butler found himself cornered to the edge by a five-year-old, standing there unable to respond, each word hitting him in the face, too ashamed to look up.

He looked down on Rong Yan, thinking she came from a poor background and was just a female celebrity with a complex social circle, not suitable for Li Shengxiao.

For these reasons, he also automatically assumed Rong Yan lacked good upbringing, otherwise, how could her relationship with the family be so bad.

Yet at that moment, every word from Li Duidui made it difficult for him to defend himself.

The woman, fully aware of his disdain for her, was still teaching the young master to respect him behind his back, while he, conversely, had been speaking ill of her… such a comparison made his character appear so vile.

He was even inferior to a woman he looked down upon and a five-year-old kid.

Lin Zhiya was also amazed at how articulate her little grandson was; surprised as she was, she glanced at the discomfited man and said softly, “Duidui, you’ve told Mr. Butler, and now he’ll know. Shall we forgive him this time?”
