After a while, all the dishes were served and everyone ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.
When Xu Yue learned that the two brothers who were once looked down upon in the village had now achieved such brilliant achievements in the army.
He couldn't help but give Wu Mengyue and Luo Yiyi a thumbs up, praising them: "You guys really have good taste and know how to choose men!"
Hearing this, Gu Si Leng immediately protected Wu Mengyue and said with a smile: "No, no, it's the two of us brothers who are blessed.
I don’t know how much virtue I must have accumulated in my previous life to be able to meet such good girls like Yueyue and Yiyi who are willing to marry us.”
After listening to this, Xu Yue also felt that what Gu Sireng said made sense, and quickly changed his words: "I am stupid and said the wrong thing.
You four are so blessed, I envy you so much!"
Luo Yiyi took over the topic and asked with interest: "Don't just talk about us, how have you been these past few years?"
After Xu Yue arranged the dishes that had just been served, he picked up a glass of warm water, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Not bad!
When I got into college and came home, my parents were overjoyed, especially my father, who rarely praised me, but that time he actually praised me for my promising future.
He paused, then continued, "Although my father was dismissed from his position as factory director and our family had to squeeze into a small tube-shaped building, our life was simple and comfortable."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Xu Yue's face, as if he was full of nostalgia for that time.
However, his tone suddenly changed and became serious: "But, I just can't swallow this breath. I don't want the people who hurt my father to have an easy time.
So, I secretly collected some evidence and handed it over to the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Unexpectedly, after this encounter, that person was also brought down."
When Luo Yiyi heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Is that man Li Bin's father?"
Xu Yue nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it's him!"
Xu Yue seemed to have finally found someone to talk to after suppressing his emotions for a long time. His words poured out like a flood bursting through a dam, and it was as if he suddenly recalled this incident.
“Li Bin also returned to Hai City last year, but it was no longer the place he remembered.
Everything has changed, and it has become impossible for him to adapt to it, and he even has no place to stand."
Xu Yue's voice was a little low, as if he was still immersed in the situation at that time.
"He probably couldn't accept this reality all of a sudden. Plus, seeing me studying peacefully in school while he was in such a miserable state, the imbalance and jealousy in his heart grew like wild weeds.
So, he actually picked up a knife and tried to kill me!"
At this point, Xu Yue's body trembled slightly. It was obvious that the scene still frightened him.
"But luckily I was smart. There were a lot of people around at the time, so I took advantage of the crowd to avoid his attack."
Xu Yue paused for a moment, then continued, "Later, he was caught by the police. Because of the knife attack, he was punished by being sent to the remote northwest to open up wasteland."
Xu Yue sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness and confusion, "I really can't understand why he is so hostile to me?
We used to be best brothers!"
Luo Yiyi on the side listened quietly, not knowing whether he was comforting Xu Yue or lamenting the impermanence of life.
“Some people are born with dark minds.
They can't stand others living a good life. As long as they see others happier and more successful than themselves, their hearts will be filled with jealousy and resentment.
People like this often do not have enough strength to surpass others, so they can only resort to despicable means.
For example, pretending to be friends with someone he is jealous of, and then looking for an opportunity to destroy that person."
Luo Yiyi's tone was calm, but the helplessness and regret in it made people empathize with him. "It's not because you are not good enough, but because he has always been this bad."
Xu Yue nodded silently, as if agreeing with Luo Yiyi's words, but his mood was obviously not much relieved.
"I know, but every time I think of him, I still feel a little upset."
A few people were chatting about other topics, when suddenly the topic turned to Xu Yue's purpose.
Xu Yue had a smile on his face, with happiness glittering in his eyes. He slowly turned his gaze to Luo Yiyi, as if he was about to explain why he was there.
However, at this moment, a deafening sound suddenly came from the door, as if it was going to break through one's eardrums.
"Wife, I'm back!"
This shout was like thunder, causing the four people present to look towards the door at the same time.
Gu Sihan walked in quickly like a gust of wind. His steps seemed a little anxious, as if something important was waiting for him.
Gu Sihan walked straight to Luo Yiyi, sat down naturally, then picked up the water cup that Luo Yiyi had placed on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wife, I'm dying of thirst!"
He smacked his lips in satisfaction, then as if he suddenly noticed Xu Yue's presence, a look of "surprise" appeared on his face, and he "excitedly" patted Xu Yue's shoulder hard.
"Xu Zhiqing? Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you just now!"
Gu Sihan said apologetically, "It's mainly because whenever my wife is around, my eyes seem to be fixed on her, and I can't notice anyone else at all.
Don’t mind it!”
After saying that, he paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and then asked again: "By the way, why are you here?
