Chapter 366 Coaxing Gu Youran
Li Huaijin walked straight towards Gu Youran, feeling somewhat helpless but mostly relieved.
He humbly squatted down in front of Gu Youran: "Gu Youran, do you know how frantic I've been looking for you? And you even let Weiwei lie to me."
For a fleeting moment, he thought he was going to lose Gu Youran.
Fortunately, she's still here.
Gu Youran regretted it a little. She didn't really want to face Li Huaijin right now: "What did you come to see me for? I don't want to see you."
"I can explain what happened at the coffee shop. Going on a blind date wasn't my intention, and I wanted to make things clear to the other person."
Although he agreed to go on a blind date with Guo Yue, how he went on the blind date, what he said, and what he did were all up to him.
He made his position clear to the other party.
But it seems the other party misunderstood.
"You Ran, I have no relation to the Li family. The reason I agreed to go on the blind date is because..."
He didn't know what to say, nor did he know the truth of the matter... whether Gu Youran would accept it.
It's a fact that he went on a blind date, that's undeniable. But if he doesn't explain it clearly, will Gu Youran... just ignore him altogether?
Luo Zhiwei suddenly stood up and walked to Lu Jingxiao's side. At this moment, it was best to give him some face.
After all, it's a matter between a young couple, so they shouldn't listen to it for now.
"We'll leave now. If you need anything, just let us know. We won't bother you any longer."
As Luo Zhiwei linked arms with Lu Jingxiao and turned to leave, she reminded him, "When you explain something, get to the point. Don't say anything ambiguous. We girls hate that kind of explanation the most."
Li Huaijin glanced at Luo Zhiwei gratefully.
She's a living Bodhisattva.
From now on, he will definitely follow Luo Zhiwei's lead. Even at this moment, he still remembers to remind him how to explain. What a good person. May he live a peaceful life.
After Luo Zhiwei and Lu Jingxiao left, Li Huaijin turned to look at Gu Youran, his eyes filled with a hint of guilt.
“Xiao Youran, it was indeed my fault today. I didn’t tell you in advance. I should have made it clear to you beforehand and asked for your permission before I went.”
Gu Youran: "......"
His eyes were indeed sincere, but that doesn't mean the matter can be left unresolved.
“Li Huaijin, my family is already in a terrible state, and I don’t want to have to face your family in the future.” Her eyes were filled with sorrow and despair: “I just want to live out my life quietly and peacefully.”
She can be passionate and unrestrained, but she doesn't want to face her family anymore, doesn't want to be bound by so-called kinship anymore, or she will break down.
Li Huaijin chuckled self-deprecatingly. It turned out that he and Xiao Youran were pretty much the same; who could really be better than the other?
“Xiao Youran, I really have no relation to the Li family, but I have to admit that the Li family’s current size is my achievement, and I can’t just hand over my hard work to someone else.”
He said in a deep voice, "So I have no way to completely abandon the Li family yet, but that doesn't mean I will become a puppet of the Li family."
Li Huaijin took a deep breath. The conflict between them stemmed from tonight's blind date, so he had to explain things clearly.
"And tonight's blind date is because Guo Yue said that I can prevent one or two people from attacking you at the Li family's old house. But I can't resist attacks from all sides of the old house by myself."
If these people are targeting him, he will risk his life to prevent the people of the old house from gaining any advantage.
But the other party is Gu Youran, and he can't gamble with Gu Youran, no matter which way it is, he can't afford to gamble.
Even with the help of his brothers, unexpected things can happen, and he can't take the risk.
Therefore, he can only proceed with caution.
Before this, fulfilling Guo Yue's request wasn't a big deal. He originally planned to explain afterward, but he didn't expect that Guo Yue would also call Gu Youran to the coffee shop.
He even made Xiao Ranran witness these things. Guo Yue was plotting against him, and he would never let this go.
"You..." Gu Youran already had the answer after Lu Jingxiao reminded her, but she still found it somewhat unbelievable when he said it out loud.
"It was my fault for not informing you about this today. I don't want to shirk responsibility, but I hope you can give me a chance to make amends. I have already clearly rejected that young lady from a prominent family."
Li Huaijin's attitude was very clear: the person he wanted was always Gu Youran, and no one else would do.
Gu Youran was no longer angry. If it were anyone else, they would probably say that they were just putting on an act and just going through the motions at home.
If that's the answer, Gu Youran will sever all ties with Li Huaijin and never have any contact with him again.
But the man in front of her seemed to know what she wanted to know, and he explained the whole story clearly, so she seemed to have lost her temper.
"You...you get up first, what are you doing squatting here?"
"I was just afraid you'd run away." Li Huaijin knew that Xiao Ranran was probably not angry anymore, so... his tone became a little lighter.
He got up and sat down next to Gu Youran, holding her hand in a fawning manner: "Little Ranran, let's just let this matter go today, okay? This kind of thing will never happen again."
"real?"
Gu Youran was somewhat suspicious; he didn't quite believe it.
"Of course," Li Huaijin swore, "If this happens again, I will die a horrible death."
Gu Youran: "......"
That's not that serious.
She suddenly raised an eyebrow with a bright smile, looking smug: "Alright then, I'll forgive you for today. If there's a next time, then let's part ways amicably."
"I promise it won't happen again!"
Li Huaijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, You Ran wasn't really angry with him, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.
However... since Guo Yue chose to scheme against him, she should be prepared to bear the consequences.
"Shall we go home, or will you stay at Weiwei's house to rest?"
Gu Youran glanced at the door to the room upstairs and finally decided to go home.
It's best not to disturb Weiwei's time alone.
Li Huaijin then acted as her protector and escorted her home. However, instead of resting in the spacious apartment, he returned to the Li family's old residence that very night.
**
The sound of a violent door being broken shattered the tranquility of the Li family home.
The butler rushed out without even properly dressing.
When the butler saw that it was Li Huaijin, he froze on the spot: "Young Master...you...why are you back?"
Li Huaijin walked arrogantly into the living room, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels as he spoke: "Didn't you say this is my home? Then I can come back whenever I want."
"Butler Wang, do you think you can make decisions for me?"
The butler quickly waved his hand: "No, no, young master, you misunderstand. This is your home, how could I make decisions? You can come back whenever you want."
"Go and call the old man and the old lady, as well as the husband and wife, down here. If they don't come down, I'll make you jump off the top floor of the villa."
The butler was startled.
What exactly is this plague god planning to do now that he's back?
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Why aren't you going yet?"
Li Huaijin's gloomy face was mixed with a hint of malice and ruthlessness: "If you don't go soon, your husband and wife's investments will have to go bankrupt."
This is outrageous!
Butler Wang immediately rushed upstairs...
