Xiao Wen shook his head and smiled seriously, "Do you think I'm joking with you? I'm serious. Ever since my grandfather was fine, I've been looking into what happened to my family back then. I found that those things that happened to my family back then might be related to the Miao family."

Gu Li's expression turned serious, "Old Xiao, are you sure about this?"

"Although there are still many things that have not been clarified, I can be very sure that the Miao family is closely related to my family's affairs." He said affirmatively.

Gu Li took a sip of tea and slowly recovered his shock. "If this is true, and we are brothers, I will naturally stand on your side."

Xiao Wen chuckled softly and raised his tea towards him. "Okay, I feel relieved with your words. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

After taking a sip of tea, Gu Li put down the cup in his hand and continued to ask, "Do you want me to help you talk to Miao Xinru?"

"No, I will handle this matter myself. Some things need to be resolved once and for all." He gently put down the teacup, a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Okay, as long as you have your own ideas about this matter, I won't get involved in this mess."

At this time, Lin Qingqing, who had just heard from her daughter that there were guests coming, walked into the main room.

When she saw Gu Li sitting inside, a look flashed in her eyes that it was indeed him.

"Comrade Gu, it's rare for you to visit my humble home. Please stay for a simple lunch at noon." She walked in and said.

Gu Li looked at the woman who walked in and smiled politely, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

But when the word "sister-in-law" came out of his mouth, it sounded like it contained a sense of contempt.

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled faintly, then turned to Xiao Wen beside her and instructed, "Go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables, and also take out the two pounds of meat in the refrigerator to thaw it."

Xiao Wen nodded and stood up. Before he stood up, he told Gu Li, "You stay here and talk to your sister-in-law. I'm going to do something."

Gu Li opened his mouth wide, looking at his good brother in disbelief as he was sent away by this woman.

As soon as Xiao Wen left, Lin Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth, "Do you think I have the right to dominate your good brother?"

Gu Li saw her mocking look and panicked as he spoke, stuttering a little, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand."

Lin Qingqing looked at him pretending to be dead and sneered, "Alright, there's not many people here, and your good brother is not here either. Don't pretend that you respect me. I know you hate me, although I don't know why."

Gu Li looked at the woman in front of him who had suddenly changed, a flash of embarrassment crossed his face, and he thought to himself, are all women fickle?

Seeing that the other person knew what she was thinking, Gu Li stopped pretending and replied calmly, "I don't hate you, I just can't stand you."

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows curiously and decided to get to the bottom of it. "Why do you dislike me? I have no grudge against you. You, a grown man, are competing with me, a little girl. Is that interesting?"

Gu Li's expression froze for a moment, and she mumbled, "I just can't stand you lying to my Lao Xiao. Don't think I don't know you have another man in your heart. Now you are so obedient to my Lao Xiao. What do you want from my Lao Xiao?"

"I would like to ask if your family lives by the river?" Lin Qingqing asked with a chuckle.

Gu Li was startled and shook his head honestly, "No, you must be mistaken. My family doesn't live by the river, we live in the capital. Why are you asking this?"

Lin Qingqing suppressed her laughter and continued to refute, "Because don't you think you are interfering too much in my and Xiao Wen's affairs? If you didn't live by the river, how could you be so nosy?"

Only at this time did Gu Li understand the meaning of her words. She was blaming him for meddling in other people's business.

"You, you woman, why are you beating around the bush when you insult people? You're just like that old fox Lao Xiao. It's true that people of the same family are alike." He muttered with a look of complaint.

Lin Qingqing smiled faintly.

"Hey, let me tell you, my Lao Xiao is a very pure man. If he doesn't fall in love, then he won't fall in love. But if he does, he will be loyal to that woman for the rest of his life. I'm warning you, if you dare to bully him emotionally, I won't let you go."

Lin Qingqing smiled confidently at him, "Don't worry, what you said will never happen. I love him. In this world, he is the only man I love, so you won't have this chance."

Gu Li snorted softly, but in fact she was shocked.

This woman is so bold that she actually has the guts to loudly announce that she loves Lao Xiao.

"I hope you'll keep your word." He muttered softly.

"You came here today to talk about what happened yesterday, right? Tell me who the culprit is?" she asked directly.

Gu Li immediately looked away guiltily, "Why are you, a woman, asking about this? Lao Xiao said he will handle it himself, so it's better for you not to know about it."

It looked like he was trying hard to hide someone.

Lin Qingqing sorted out the relationship between them in her mind and immediately came up with the best candidate.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. Let me guess who it is. Is it someone with the surname Miao? Miao Xinru, right?" When she said the last name, her eyes were fixed on the expression on his face.

Sure enough, this guy surnamed Gu did not disappoint her. When she said these three words, the man's pupils immediately shrank.

"You also know Miao Xinru?" he asked cautiously.

Lin Qingqing sneered, "I know her more than just personally. I've even fought her before. I even know about the little things that happened between her and Xiao Wen."

After hearing her words, Gu Li's frightened heart beat wildly twice.

Old Xiao is really amazing. He actually told her about this kind of thing.

"Actually, you shouldn't bother with her. She's a jealous woman, but she wouldn't dare harm anyone. Lao Xiao said he'll handle this matter. You can trust Lao Xiao completely. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, he'll kill you."

At this point, Gu Li stared at her cautiously for a few seconds and then said, "Well, I heard from Lao Xiao that you also make skincare products. I wanted to ask if you have any skincare products for scar removal?"

When Lin Qingqing heard his words, she immediately looked at his calm face.

Seeing her looking at him, Gu Li immediately waved his hand to explain, "It's not me, it's a friend of mine. She got a long scar on her face from hitting a rock a few years ago. I want to ask if you have any way to heal such an injury?"
