Chapter 376: Just this little money?

Chapter 376: Just this little money?

Li Ye watched as his sister added fuel to the fire, causing Wen Leyu to drop her things and run out of the door, so he had no choice but to quickly catch up.

Fu Yiru was not slow either, only one step behind Li Ye, following closely.

Li Ye couldn't help but turn around and said, "Xiao Ruo, don't talk for a while, your sister-in-law has a bad temper, don't make trouble."

But Fu Yiru pouted and argued: "How did I cause any trouble? They were the ones who wronged you in the first place!"

Fu Yiruo paused, as if she was still not satisfied, and muttered softly: "My sister-in-law has a bad temper. I have a bad temper too. I'm just unfamiliar with the place."

"I"

Li Ye looked back and felt that underneath Fu Yiru's gentle appearance, there was a bit of sharpness hidden.

"Could it be another Wen Leyu?"

When Li Ye first met Wen Leyu, the girl was very cold and aloof, with a kind of extremely calm gentleness.

But when she knocked down a classmate who made fun of Li Ye with one punch in the repeat class of the County No. 2 Middle School, the difference between the kitten and the tiger cub was revealed.

Now, after more than a year of stabbing training by Li Ye, Wen Leyu's little fist has become a bit "hard" and if he hits someone in the face, he will definitely get a panda eye.

So when he saw Wen Leyu chasing after him and Zhang Fei shouting, Li Ye was really a little worried.

But it turned out that Li Ye underestimated Wen Leyu.

When he chased out of the door and quickly walked to Wen Leyu and Lu Jingyao, he did not see Wen Leyu "knock down four hands with his fists", nor did he see Wen Leyu's fierce voice and relentless attitude.

Wen Leyu behaved very politely, gracefully, and well-mannered, and you couldn't even tell that she was "angry" at all.

Wen Leyu just had a half-smile on his face and blocked the way for Liu Muhan and Lu Jingyao to leave.

She first said to Liu Muhan, "Classmate Liu, right? I heard Li Ye and Uncle Lao Lu talking about you a while ago. I finally met you today. I must have a good chat with you later.

If Li Ye hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that Grandpa Li and Mr. Liu had such a past. "

Liu Muhan looked at Wen Leyu, then at Li Ye who had caught up with him, and could only nod and say, "This is fate! If Li Ye hadn't known you, he wouldn't have met Uncle Lu, and my father would never have found Uncle Li in his life."

Because Lao Lu worked as a security guard at the gate of COFCO compound, Li Zhongfa was able to meet Wen Leyu when he arrived at his house, and then found the health worker's family, so what Liu Muhan said was true.

But Wen Leyu called Li Zhongfa "Grandpa Li" one moment and Liu Muhan called Li Zhongfa "Uncle Li" the next moment. The comparison here is just a matter between women.

Wen Leyu seemed not to notice the difference in seniority and turned to look at Lu Jingyao.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time! Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Did you have a fight with Li Ye?"

Wen Leyu treated Lu Jingyao differently from Liu Muhan. She did not address her as "Classmate Liu" but simply "you". It seemed more intimate, but the coldness in her heart could be felt even from a distance of eight feet.

Just now, Wen Leyu saw Lu Jingyao and Liu Muhan first, and due to her womanly nature, she suddenly burst into anger.

But during the ten seconds or so of chasing, Wen Leyu recalled Li Ye's expression.

Li Ye was very angry just now, so who made him angry? Who wronged and bullied him?

Ever since Wen Leyu met Li Ye, she has never seen anyone who can bully Li Ye. It seems that the only person is Lu Jingyao, whom she once called "Sister Jingyao".

Facing the powerful Wen Leyu, Lu Jingyao could only explain: "I didn't quarrel with Li Ye. There might be some misunderstanding between us."

Wen Leyu immediately said, "Misunderstandings must be resolved. I just happened to bring back some vegetables and ham. Let's have a meal before leaving, so as to avoid further resentment in the future."

Of course Lu Jingyao didn't want to stay for dinner, but after hearing what Wen Leyu said, she hesitated.

After receiving the news from home, she flew back to the mainland from Britain overnight. She found Liu Muhan and used his connections and gifts to get Lu Zixue out. Then Lu Zixue insisted that it was Li Ye who reported him.

Lu Jingyao was very worried. She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if Li Ye continued to retaliate against her family. So even though she didn't want to see Li Ye today, she still came to him.

And now Wen Leyu said the four words "the more resentment accumulates", which are much more powerful than Li Ye's threat.

Wen Leyu, who has regained his second-generation identity, wants to set up a self-taught Lu, but no one can find any trace of him.

Liu Muhan was just regretting that she had messed up things today. Now that there was a turn for the better, she felt that it was also a chance to resolve the problem. She also felt that if she missed this time, there would never be a next time.

"Jingyao, it's just a small matter. It's better to explain it clearly. After all, you are far away in Britain and don't know the inside story. No matter how much resentment there is, it can't be blamed on you."

Lu Jingyao looked at Liu Muhan and understood what she meant.

The misunderstanding this time was about her younger brother Lu Zixue. Liu Muhan meant that Lu Zixue was Lu Zixue and Lu Jingyao was Lu Jingyao, and they should not be entangled in the future.

But as a family, how can we let go of each other?

Wasn't it because your mother was sick and the house was leaking that you got together with Li Ye?

If family is family and I am myself, then how could there be a series of troubles and entanglements later?

The three women turned around and went back to the courtyard without even saying hello to Li Ye, as if he was a "transparent man".

Fu Yiruo tugged at Li Ye's arm again and said in a low voice, "Brother, what you said just now is wrong. It's not that my sister-in-law has a bad temper, but that all girls in the mainland have bad tempers."

Li Ye glanced at his sister and corrected her, "Don't generalize. Besides, your sister-in-law never gets angry with me."

Fu Yiruo shook her head: "What I said is true. Our mother has a bad temper, but she never takes it out on me."

“.”

. . . . . .

When Li Ye returned to the courtyard, Wen Leyu had already picked up the things on the ground, and then picked out a few of them and handed them to Li Ye.

"You go to the kitchen to cook. I'll chat with my two sisters for a while."

“.”

Liu Muhan, Lu Jingyao, and Fu Yiru all looked at Wen Leyu in surprise.

They were not surprised at Wen Leyu's "natural" ordering Li Ye around, but were surprised at Wen Leyu's current appearance, a typical hostess.

Li Ye smiled. He had to give Wen Leyu this face.

"Okay, I'll see how many dishes I can make."

Li Ye cooperated very well and went into the kitchen with a few ingredients.

Sister Fu Yiru followed in and said with a smile: "Brother, now our family is in decline, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "You don't understand this. Your sister-in-law is such a person! She never lets me suffer any loss. If I respect her one foot, she will definitely give me ten feet in return."

. . . . . .

In the living room of the main house, Wen Leyu asked Liu Muhan and Lu Jingyao to sit down, and then said: "Now that there is no one else around, can we talk about the misunderstanding? Who of you two will speak first?"

Lu Jingyao wanted to explain, but what happened to Lu Zixue was too embarrassing to talk about in the mainland in 1984, so she had to rely on Liu Muhan.

So Liu Muhan told the story again. Of course, when talking about Lu Zixue and Gao Xiaoyan sleeping in the same bed, she used vague words and just said that the joint defense team caught the wrong person.

This time, Lu Jingyao begged Liu Muhan to rescue Lu Zixue, but in the end he used the excuse of "catching the wrong person" to rescue him.

After Liu Muhan finished speaking, Lu Jingyao followed up and said, "My brother had an argument with Li Ye that day, and when we were picking him up, we also confirmed through our connections that he was reported by someone, so a misunderstanding arose."

"Wait a moment, let's first find out the truth of the matter and determine whether it is a misunderstanding."

Wen Leyu interrupted Lu Jingyao, stood up, reached for his phone, and called his brother Wen Guohua.

"Brother, help me check something. The three Xs came from a man named Lu Zixue who was reported four days ago."

Wen Guohua on the other end smiled and asked after hearing this: "Xiaoyu, why are you investigating this? There are rules for this. What is your relationship with Lu Zixue?"

Wen Leyu suddenly exploded, his voice rising two octaves: "What are you talking about? It's up to you to investigate or not. If not, I'll find someone else."

"Check it, check it right away, give me ten minutes, no, five minutes."

All brothers in the world are crazy about doting on their sisters. Wen Guohua didn't even dare to fart after being scolded, and he quickly went to do things for his sister.

After Wen Leyu came back and sat down, he found that Liu Muhan and Lu Jingyao had become serious.

The calm Wen Leyu made the two of them feel under great pressure, so is there any need to explain what kind of feeling the irritable Wen Leyu gave people?

Lu Jingyao was silent for a moment before she spoke again: "Whether this is a misunderstanding or not, I have no resentment towards Li Ye. After all, I owed him money before, so I want to take this opportunity to pay him back for everything I owe him."

Wen Leyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Pay it back? How do you want to pay it back?"

Lu Jingyao took her small bag, took out a thick stack of money from it, and placed it on the table.

This is a stack of British pounds. Judging from its thickness, it must be at least 10,000 pounds, which was definitely a huge sum of money in the 1980s.

"This money should be enough to buy a few houses in Beijing. This is my compensation to Li Ye and also my apology."

Lu Jingyao said it very seriously, but Wen Leyu laughed.

"Why? Just this little money?"

Liu Muhan: “.”

Lu Jingyao: “.”

What do you mean by just this little money? This money is more than enough to buy two houses near the Forbidden City, right?

Lu Jingyao took a deep breath, suppressed the injustice in her heart and said, "Xiaoyu, I have always had a question, what price should I pay to repay Li Ye's self-righteous debt?

What do I owe him? Usury with compound interest?"

The corners of Wen Leyu's mouth slowly curled up into a cold smile.

"You owe him trust, and you owe him an apology."
