Until I got home.
Guan Yuxi still felt like she was in a dream.
Leng Lie pinched her cheek. "What are you thinking about?"
"I miss that old man..."
"You're not allowed to think about other men!"
"Is he your father?"
Leng Lie: "......"
“My dad died a long time ago, you know that.”
Guan Yuxi kept grabbing her hair, "But, that's three thousand yuan! You..."
She looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Even if you know someone, you shouldn't trust them so easily.
In case of robbery or other unforeseen events...
She had nowhere to cry.
Leng Lie smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
That guy is very wealthy, and he's only giving you the discount because of you.
If I don't pay him quickly, he'll probably change his mind.
Guan Yuxi stared in surprise.
It was her first time visiting the dark market, so why did that old man have to give her face?
He quickly came to his senses and asked uncertainly, "You mean, he knows Grandpa?"
Leng Lie straightened her disheveled hair and nodded.
Guan Yuxi thought hard for a long time, then felt a little discouraged. "I have no impression of him at all."
Grandpa never mentioned it to me either.
When she married Leng Lie.
Can someone whom even my grandfather didn't invite be trusted?
She looked at him suspiciously.
Leng Lie pulled her into his arms. "Grandpa told me about it."
He said they had a grudge against each other, but if we were in trouble...
Go find that old man; he's a trustworthy person.
Guan Yuxi sighed, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness. "He didn't even tell me!"
How disappointed Grandpa must be in her.
He then explained all these matters to Leng Lie, but not to her.
But does this mean that Grandpa Guan already knew he was in danger?
Guan Yuxi hugged Leng Lie tightly around the waist.
I dare not think about it anymore.
"Yu Xi, you're finally back."
Chu Zheling stood up from under the banyan tree, carrying a backpack and a large woven bag in his hand.
Guan Yuxi frowned and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Yes, after being caught cheating last night.
His reappearance in the village would only bring him shame.
On the contrary, leaving can help to distance oneself from the situation to some extent.
"You can't bear to part with me?"
A smile instantly appeared on Chu Zheling's gloomy face.
He looked at Leng Lie provocatively.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
The words I wanted to say suddenly stuck in my throat.
He simply turned around and left.
Chu Zheling threw down his luggage, blocking her way.
"Yu Xi, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
I know you're married.
Let's just act like friends, like before, okay?
Guan Yuxi was almost defeated by his shamelessness.
Married women do not want male friends.
Chu Zhiqing, you have a bright future ahead of you. You should try to make more friends with knowledgeable and cultured women.
I'm just a simple countrywoman with long hair and short wits; I'm not worthy to be your friend.
Those words were so disgusting they made me want to vomit.
But Chu Zheling was still smug and said:
"That's right, I'm sure I have a bright future."
However, you shouldn't underestimate yourself, no matter what others say about you.
In my eyes, you are extraordinary; you shouldn't be living this kind of life.
Leng Lie cracked his knuckles.
Guan Yuxi quickly pulled him back, "It's alright, it's not like I'll lose anything by being said a few words."
There's no need to let him leave injured, leaving behind a mess of gossip.
She intertwined her fingers with Leng Lie's and raised them up for him to see.
He said cheerfully, "Thank you for your concern."
However, I still enjoy living such a simple life.
Wishing you a bright future, I won't see you off any further!
She gave a perfunctory bow and pulled Leng Lie into the courtyard.
Chu Zheling wanted to follow them again.
He shot a sharp glare at her and said coldly:
"Chu Zhiqing, don't worry about things that aren't your business."
"Mind your own business, or you'll get struck by lightning!"
Chu Zheling stopped in his tracks, but stubbornly stood at the door and refused to leave.
Guan Yuxi gave him a headache-inducing look.
If someone like that really becomes mayor through family connections, is it a blessing or a curse?
Did he really achieve those political accomplishments?
Forget it, those things are too far in the past and have nothing to do with her!
She slammed the door shut.
Leng Lie brought out a basin of water and grinned at her.
Guan Yuxi shook her head and chuckled before turning and walking away.
However, Leng Lie opened the door.
The entrance was now completely empty.
"He's smart to know his place!"
Leng Lie splashed water into the vegetable garden by the door.
Chu Zheling popped his head out from behind the wall again.
"Leng Lie, you despicable scoundrel, I knew you were up to no good!"
Leng Lie walked towards him with a basin of water.
Chu Zheling was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, "Hey, what are you doing?"
A gentleman uses words, not fists; you can't hit me!
Leng Lie gave a cold sneer.
He turned to look at Guan Yuxi and said, "Honey, our little one wanted to have intimate contact with him. It wasn't me who did it, was it?"
Guan Yuxi: "......"
She nodded quickly.
Such a trivial matter, having to choose between a lover and someone you dislike.
It's right to side with your relatives, regardless of who's right or wrong.
Seeing that things were not going well, Chu Zheling picked up his luggage and ran away.
Chu Zheling chased after him a few steps.
