The once quiet alleyway was now crowded with people.
Xu Xinghe also put down his coffee cup and joined the crowd of onlookers.
Lian Xiao frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then got up to follow him. "I'll treat you to coffee today. You can go back first. I have something to do."
He walked up behind Xu Xinghe without making a sound, and taking advantage of his height, he could see what was happening inside at a glance.
He had seen the police chief of the eastern district of Shanghai before; at this moment, the chief was pinning Xu Mingxin down.
The woman, her face streaked with tears, collapsed to the ground, wailing uncontrollably. "I was just walking along the street when he suddenly pulled me in, and then he tried to take advantage of me! Luckily, the sheriff saved me, or I wouldn't be alive! My innocent young woman almost lost her virginity!"
Xu Mingxin lay on the ground, only able to make hoarse sounds from his throat.
There was a lot of discussion around.
"This person is really shameless, daring to do such a thing in broad daylight."
"People like this should be arrested and shot!"
"Sheriff, arrest this man immediately! What if he attacks someone else? He's so brazen, he must be a repeat offender!"
The sheriff nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely lock him up in jail and never give him the chance to harm others again!"
Hearing this, Xu Xinghe felt relieved and smiled brightly, "Third Brother, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Don't you like heroes rescuing damsels in distress?
Wasn't she trying to drug herself?
If the same thing were done in a different way, hopefully he could handle it.
After saying that, she turned and left.
Now only Xu Mingli is left, and he's the easiest to deal with.
Lian Xiao looked at her petite figure from behind, a slight smile playing on his lips. This little girl seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.
He had initially thought she was a weak and easily bullied little girl, but now he realized she was actually a rabbit with teeth, who had accidentally bitten the wolf.
Xu Xinghe hummed a song as she went to the state-run restaurant, ate her fill, and then went home.
She had barely stepped inside when Xu Mingli returned, his face extremely grim. "Xinghe, something's happened to the third brother."
Xu Xinghe watered the flowers slowly and deliberately, "What could possibly happen to Third Brother?"
"The third brother tried to act like a hooligan in front of the sheriff, and he's already been arrested."
Xu Mingli came to her side. "Xinghe, what do we do now? Third brother will definitely go to jail!"
Xu Xinghe raised her little face, innocent and naive, "I never expected that Third Brother would do such a thing. It seems that I can only rely on Big Brother."
Xu Mingli swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Yes, now he was all alone.
He no longer concealed his ambition, staring intently at Xu Xinghe with burning eyes. "Don't worry, your older brother will definitely treat you well. Now that I'm all alone, Xinghe, can we sign the marriage certificate?"
“Of course.” Xu Xinghe put down the kettle, looked down at the flower buds, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck. “Big brother, why don’t you buy some wine and food? We’re getting married today. No matter what, this is a big event and we need to celebrate it properly.”
Xu Mingli looked at her fragile neck, which seemed like it could be snapped in two with one hand. This kind of person was no match for him.
"Xinghe, your brother will arrange for someone to buy it right away. It's best not to leave your brother's side before you sign, lest someone bully you."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, big brother."
Xu Xinghe sat back down on the sofa and took out the book she hadn't finished reading yesterday. "Big brother, please make the arrangements. Oh, and prepare some red wine. I want to drink some. Dad and Mom used to always drink some red wine; it makes things more romantic."
Xu Mingli couldn't wait to find someone to help him.
soon.
The food has been delivered.
Xu Mingli didn't want anything to go wrong, so he personally went to get the red wine.
It was still light out, but he drew the curtains.
Drinking means you can do something else.
Xu Xinghe rarely drinks alcohol, so his alcohol tolerance must be low.
How things are handled then is entirely up to him.
The two sat down facing each other.
Xu Mingli poured her a drink himself. "Xinghe, you see, in the end, it's still your older brother who's by your side. If you had chosen me from the beginning, none of this would have happened."
Xu Xinghe didn't say anything. While taking the wine glass, she sprinkled the powdered medicine she had prepared in her space into the dish.
She put down her wine glass, propped her fair face up with one hand, and said, "Big brother, let's eat something first, I'm starving."
Xu Mingli had no doubts whatsoever and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
The food was bought by his people, and he also arranged the dishes.
From beginning to end, it never passed through Xu Xinghe's hands, nor even left his sight.
Xu Xinghe only took one bite of vegetables before putting down her chopsticks. Her smile vanished, and she looked coldly at Xu Mingli. "Big brother, when you three brothers fled to Shanghai during the famine, it was my parents who saved you, gave you food, and even adopted you as their sons, ensuring you had enough to eat and wear. Why are you still so ungrateful?"
Xu Mingli suddenly looked up. "Xinghe, what do you mean by that?"
"Good deeds go unrewarded. I raised him for seven years, and he's still an ingrate."
Xu Mingli's face was pale. He was about to get up when he found that he couldn't move.
"Xu Xinghe, what did you do to me?"
Xu Xinghe raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face!
Her palms burned with pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart!
"You beasts! My parents have been so good to you, yet you still try to harm me and seize the Xu family's assets!"
"Today is the day you deserve your retribution!"
