Chapter 349: Powerless to Help

Li Yiqiu's words fell, and the living room, which had been lively, suddenly quieted down.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong hadn't yet heard what Li Yiqiu was requesting, but their expressions were already turning sour.

"There will be time to discuss whatever it is," Old Sir Zhong said faintly, showing no particular emotion, "Second son's wife, you must be tired too. You should go upstairs and rest earlier!"

As if completely oblivious to Old Sir Zhong's expression, Li Yiqiu didn't rise from her seat. Instead, she started speaking with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I know you're worried that I'm going to make some request that will put Nianyao in a difficult position. I can assure you, this is just a small matter. Moreover, for Nianyao, it couldn't be simpler."

Hearing Li Yiqiu's assured words didn't smooth Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong's furrowed brows; in fact, their frowns only grew tighter. When they looked at Li Yiqiu, their eyes even held a trace of dissatisfaction.
