Unfortunately, Old Man Li has changed. Even though he's so rich now, he won't lend him any money, saying it's for Li Fuyi's banquet.
Borrow? He wouldn't dare even if he had ten lives.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Old Li glanced back at the house. Through the newspaper pasted on the windows, he seemed to see Yang Guowei's ugly face.
Grandma Li sat upright like a puppet, the slight rise and fall of her chest a reminder that she was still alive.
"Fellow villagers, today is the day my daughter and Gangshu are engaged. Please enjoy your meal and drinks."
This is the fourth time Li Laosan has said this, but the subject is different.
The first time was, "Folks, today is my daughter's family reunion, everyone eat and drink well." The second time was similar, the third time was the same, and now it's the fourth time...
This was the fourth banquet Li Yiyi had attended. Li Yiyi thought for a moment, then picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks.
Putting everything else aside, it's true that the food gets better every time.
As long as Li Fuyi changes her appearance quickly enough, they can attend every day. Thinking maliciously, Li Yiyi's wishful thinking came true.
"Sister Fuyi, why didn't you tell me you were engaged to Zhou Gangshu?"
After holding it in for a long time, Yang Guowei finally came out. The light was too bright, making him feel a little unsafe. He felt a surge of desire to go back to the cabin, but it vanished the moment he saw Li Fuyi.
"Brother Guowei~"
"Yang Guowei".
Yang Guowei walked out of the house, still from the house of Old Lady Li and Old Man Li. The implication of this was not simple.
Li Fuyi was surprised. She had barely uttered "Brother Guowei" when Zhou Gangshu possessively grabbed her hand.
The force was a bit strong, but Li Fuyi didn't dare to make a sound. Instead, she gazed at Zhou Gangshu with adoration. She was different from the Li Fuyi of the past; her eyes and heart were only for Zhou Gangshu.
The infatuated gaze pleased Zhou Gangshu, and unintentionally became a means for him to show off.
"Yang Guowei, welcome to my engagement ceremony with Fuyi."
The confrontation scene looked familiar. Last time, Yang Guowei stood beside Li Fuyi, acting like an empress and showing off to Zhou Gangshu and Li Wuchi. This time, it was Zhou Gangshu declaring his authority to Yang Guowei.
I wonder if Li Wuchi could sense that Li Yiyi wasn't the only one thinking this way; many others were also looking for a crossroads.
Well, the yellow of the soil is a bright spot under the blue sky and white clouds; there are no shadows, and the person they are waiting for has not come.
“Zhou Gangshu, Fuyi is my girlfriend, she is not yours.”
Enraged, Yang Guowei charged at Zhou Gangshu and, before Zhou could react, punched him several times.
When Yang Guowei tried to attack again, Zhou Gangshu counterattacked. His body was exhausted, and Yang Guowei was no match for Zhou Gangshu. In just a few moves, Zhou Gangshu had him bruised and battered.
"Useless trash, you..."
He scanned Yang Guowei up and down several times, his disdainful gaze finally settling on a certain spot.
"Is he worthy of Fu Yi?"
Silence speaks louder than words. Yang Guowei was not only beaten, but also insulted by Zhou Gangshu, a fellow gay man. He admitted that what Zhou Gangshu said was true, but he claimed to be a victim.
"Sister Fuyi, are you really going to get engaged to Zhou Gangshu? As long as you say no, I'll take you to the ends of the earth."
How affectionate!
But this deep affection was the most useless thing in Li Fuyi's eyes; what she wanted was a powerful person, and Yang Guowei was already out of the picture.
“Brother Guowei, please stop talking. The person I love is Brother Gangshu, not you. The engagement was my own choice, not something I was forced by Grandpa.”
While expressing her own feelings, Li Fuyi also didn't forget to smear Old Man Li, regardless of whether the smear was successful or not, she just did it anyway.
Everyone: Eehoo!
Li Fuyi's words were like a cold knife, piercing deeply into Yang Guowei's heart.
"Little Sister Fuyi~"
Lying on the ground, Yang Guowei reached out his hand, wanting to touch his temple, just like when he first came here. Li Fuyi gave him a sweet smile.
'Little brother~'
A voice from the depths of his memory surfaced, one that Yang Guowei could never forget. The double images before his eyes multiplied, and Yang Guowei turned his head away in discomfort. Just as he was about to faint, the image of Old Man Li came into his view.
No, he hasn't lost yet; Fu Yi can only be his.
With a swift movement, Yang Guowei, to everyone's astonishment, walked towards Old Man Li, grabbed him by the collar, and looked like a demon crawled out of hell.
Before anyone could even register the shock for a second, Yang Guowei was sent flying.
Yes, it flew out; it was Old Man Li who kicked it.
"Old Li, how dare you!"
Clutching his stomach, Yang Guowei displayed a reckless, all-or-nothing attitude.
"Old man Li, how dare you kick me? Do you believe I'll tell my father?"
It's better to stay with Yang Kaiye than to be bullied by everyone outside. He'll treat you well and even inherit his business after he dies.
The more Yang Guowei thought about it, the more he felt he had made a mistake coming out. He regretted not coming at all. It was like his sweetheart rejecting him now, and some old man named Li daring to bully him.
"hehe"
"Yang Kaiye, Yang Guowei, you don't actually think your father still wants you, do you? Have you forgotten what your previous job was?"
Previous work?
Yang Guowei blushed; he was being threatened. Old Man Li was threatening him.
However, Old Man Li is right about one thing: Yang Kaiye really might not want him anymore.
Seeing Yang Guowei deflate like a punctured balloon, Old Man Li sneered. If it weren't for his informant sending a letter yesterday, he would have been...
He may continue to be controlled by Yang Guowei, a useless pawn who dares to act arrogantly in front of him.
"Old man Li, I'm finished, and you won't get away with it either. You think you're some kind of good person? You kidnapped me in Beijing and used my father's power to get Old Lady Li, who was supposed to be imprisoned for ten years, released early. Old man Li, you've broken the law."
"Is that so!"
A deep male voice came from behind, one that Yang Guowei had never heard before, nor that Li Yiyi and the others had ever heard before.
The face was obscured because most of it was blocked. In short, only one word could describe it.
Righteousness,
His upright demeanor inspired both awe and a sense of security. Li Yi stared at him for a long time, as if she had guessed the identity of the person in front of her.
"Old Li."
"Old Li!" Yang Guowei exclaimed, realizing that the man in front of him seemed to recognize him.
He was someone who frequently accompanied Yang Kaiye, and the one who had been forcing medicine into him since the first day he returned, according to the gatekeeper.
The Li family used to specialize in treating royalty and nobility.
Although he didn't know if the rumors were true or false, Yang Guowei chickened out. Seeing Lao Li reminded him of Yang Kaiye.
"You, you don't come any closer. Go tell Yang Kaiye that I'm not going back."
Old Li couldn't bear to look at Yang Guowei's pathetic state. If Yang Guowei hadn't been somewhat useful, they wouldn't have let him go at all.
Yang Guowei's family, the Yang family, used to be a bandit family that committed all sorts of evil deeds, including burning, killing, and looting. However, they were quite capable and had a wide network of connections, so when the investigators went to look for them, they found nothing.
None of Yang Kaiye's former subordinates or those who had followed him were seen; little information was left behind. Based on the changing situation, they devised an excellent plan.
The goal is to clear Yang Kaiye's name, both openly and in fact, and then give him the illusion that he can return to the past.
