"Am I wrong again?" Li Pei didn't think he had done anything wrong. He had been good-tempered enough, but in the end, Ya Ru threw a tantrum, and his family had to side with her.
"It's hopeless."
Li Ying sat down, holding Chenchen in her arms.
Li Ting shrugged.
Sang Zhi came out of the kitchen carrying dishes: "Dinner's ready!"
Li Ting was immediately embarrassed. He glanced at Li Ying and seized an opportunity to bring up Sang Zhi's matter with her.
"You're just going to let her stay in our house and not leave?"
"She's a young woman, unfamiliar with Shanghai. Where do you expect her to go?" Li Ying retorted.
Her younger sister is really unlucky. She has to worry about her eldest brother and second brother, and she's even more tired than her mother.
"But it's not good for her to always stay at home, is it? Here's what I'll do, I'll call Commander Jing."
Li Ying grabbed her second brother and scolded him, "You're confused! Sang Zhi and Commander Jing have already broken up, don't mess around with them."
“But she’s like this…” Li Ting felt something was off.
At the dinner table, Li Dongguo was also very happy to hear that Li Ying had found a shop.
“Yingying, your parents said that even if you don’t go out to earn money, your mother and I can support you and Chenchen. It’s just that you are too strong-willed and insist on opening a clinic. Since you’ve made up your mind, your parents can’t stop you. If you need anything, be sure to ask your older brothers for help.”
"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely not let my eldest and second eldest brothers have it easy."
"Your second brother can go to work in two days."
"good."
Li Ting chewed his food, then, as if remembering something, turned to look at Sang Zhi.
Sang Zhi met his gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she buried her head in her food.
Li Ting gave an awkward smile. Why was he looking at her just now?
After dinner, Li Ying and Yang Mei went out to buy things, leaving Li Ting at home to wash the dishes.
"I'll do it."
Sang Zhi went into the kitchen.
"No need, no need. This is a task assigned to me by my parents. You go shopping with Yingying."
Sang Zhi looked up at Li Ting's handsome face and smiled: "Comrade Li Ting, why do you always avoid me?"
Li Ting was a little confused by the question. Had he been avoiding her?
"Miss Sangzhi, I think there might be a misunderstanding between us?"
They only said three sentences in total. Is it too hasty for Sang Zhi to judge herself based on that incident of taking the blame?
"We have no misunderstanding, you just don't remember."
"Don't you remember?"
Li Ting was completely bewildered.
Sang Zhi smiled lightly, "Comrade Li Ting, have you really forgotten? The first time I went to the front line, you picked me up at the train station and arranged food and lodging for me. At that time, I had just returned to the country and went straight to the front line. When you picked me up, you even bought me a set of clothes."
Li Ting remembered that there was indeed such a thing. When he saw Sang Zhi wearing a Western-style dress, Li Ting found it ridiculous.
"Doesn't this look like a celestial being descended to earth?"
So Li Ting bought a set of clothes nearby and sent them to Sang Zhi.
"Miss Sang, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You'd better change your clothes!"
Sang Zhi then refuted Li Ting's argument with righteous indignation, leaving Li Ting somewhat embarrassed. He then took his clothes and left.
The next time we met was to see the wounded soldiers off.
"You remembered me just because of that outfit?"
"Well, but I was already engaged to Jing Yingyan at the time, so I didn't talk to you anymore. But later, when you tried to help me get away with it and take responsibility, I decided you were the one." Sang Zhi's ears turned red as she spoke.
Li Ting's face also turned red.
"That matter actually has nothing to do with you."
"I know, but I still think you're great," Sang Zhi boldly confessed.
Li Ting gave an awkward smile, put down his chopsticks and bowl, and said, "You can wash those for me, I have to go out for a bit."
After saying that, he made his escape.
Sang Zhi chuckled; Li Ting was really adorable.
Just as Li Ting stepped out the door, Li Ying rushed back.
"Second brother, hurry up! Eldest brother and Shuo Shuo went to a restaurant for dinner. I found out she was going to drug eldest brother and ruin his reputation."
"What?"
Li Ting, enraged, rolled up his sleeves and stormed out.
The two arrived at the restaurant, where the waiter greeted them warmly.
"I'm Li Pei's younger brother, my name is Li Ting. My older brother asked me to deliver something to him. Which room is he in?"
"So it's Director Li's younger brother. He's in room 209 on the second floor. You can go in."
Li Ying and Li Ting rushed upstairs. When they arrived at the private room, they heard noises inside. Without thinking, Li Ting kicked open the door.
Inside the private room, Li Pei was on top of Shuo Shuo, who was crying out, "No, Master, no!"
Li Ting rushed up, ripped Li Pei away, and slapped his older brother twice across the face.
Relieved, Shuo Shuo cried and tore at her clothes.
Li Ying glanced at Shuo Shuo, walked to her elder brother's side, took out a silver needle, and gave him an acupuncture.
Li Pei then regained some of his senses.
What's wrong with me?
"Big brother, you've been drugged," Li Ying said, looking at Shuo Shuo.
Upon hearing this, Shuo Shuo shook her head and cried, "I don't know, I really don't know. Master said he wanted to eat crabs at the restaurant, so I wanted to treat Master to a meal. But not long after we came in, Master suddenly hugged me and said he liked me."
Li Pei pressed his groggy head, the scene that had just happened flashing through his mind, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would be tempted by a beautiful woman.
"Shuoshuo, you must be talking nonsense!"
"Master, I'm not lying, boohoo..." Shuo Shuo cried, feeling wronged.
"That means there's something wrong with the dish. Call the police and have them come and investigate!" Li Ying said, calling over the restaurant's waiter and demanding to see the restaurant owner.
