As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people who were discussing the matter changed. Liu Xiu's trusted servants were guarding outside, and they didn't expect that someone was eavesdropping, especially since the person who came spoke sharply and did not give them any face, directly exposing their true identities. Moreover, it was clearly a woman's voice, and it sounded very familiar. Those with sharp ears had already heard who the person was, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu.
Chen Li was sad for several days after returning home about the engagement between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua. She finally figured it out and understood why Liu Xiu wanted to marry into the Yin family. It was just because his position was unstable and he wanted to consolidate his power through marriage. Perhaps he was also attracted by Yin Lihua's beauty.
Chen Li had also met Yin Lihua a few times. She was indeed a beautiful and talented woman. It was normal for a man to be attracted to her. Although she was somewhat unwilling in her heart, so what? Things would not change because of her thoughts. In the final analysis, apart from being able to be used by Liu Xiu, she was actually an insignificant woman, unlike Yin Lihua, who had the support of the entire Yin family behind her.
Before, because Liu Xiu was willing to let her participate in outside affairs, she was proud and overconfident, and therefore offended many people. Now that she is out of Liu Xiu's protection, her fate can be imagined. Originally, Chen Li didn't really like Liu Xiu that much, but she saw the development potential of this man. Although she was angry that Liu Xiu was too ruthless, but now she had no way back and could only follow Liu Xiu all the way.
Moreover, marrying Liu Xiu may not be all good. The ancient rules are too restrictive for women. She can't give up the big world outside. She will live in a small courtyard for the rest of her life and be submissive to her husband. Her ideal of revenge has not been realized. What Liu Xiu needs is definitely not such a useless woman. Thinking about it this way, in fact, such a position is more beneficial to her now. Moreover, although Yin Lihua has the upper hand now, who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe Liu Xiu will abandon Yin Lihua again for power. In this way, the so-called status is not so important. The power in hand is more important.
Chen Li was an optimist and was particularly motivated. After some self-comfort and encouragement, she was fully revived and wanted to take this opportunity to ask Liu Xiu for some benefits. After all, it was Liu Xiu who let her down. Looking at Liu Xiu's previous attitude, he still felt guilty about her. If she didn't seize this opportunity and make good use of it, she would no longer be Chen Li. So after thinking of the conditions, she went to Liu's house immediately, but she didn't expect to hear this scene by accident.
Although Chen Li had figured it out, she didn't dare to offend Liu Xiu, her future backer, but she was not so polite to Yin Shi, especially since this insidious man's sister had just snatched her man not long ago. When she heard that Yin Shi was scheming against someone behind her back again and thought of herself, she became even more impolite. She said those words without thinking, which were also what she was thinking.
Liu Xiu frowned when he saw Chen Li coming in.
"Why are you here?"
"Brother Liu, I've figured it out, so I came to see you." Chen Li said to Liu Xiu with a smile. She kept hypnotizing herself in her heart that she should just treat this scumbag as an object, which would be a tool for her to climb up, or treat this man as a banknote, so that her happy expression would be more real.
"Have you figured it out?" Liu Xiu was a little skeptical about Chen Li's words. This kind of thing can be figured out just by thinking it through. However, looking at Chen Li's appearance, it was really different from the miserable look she had that day.
"Yes, I have figured it out. I thought about what Brother Liu said the other day for a long time. Although I am sad, I have to admit some facts. Since Brother Liu doesn't like me and his feelings for me are not romantic, what's the point of forcing him to do it?"
Chen Li said this with a somewhat miserable look, and then changed to a resolute expression: "Although I am just a weak woman, I am also someone who can take it or leave it. Since Brother Liu doesn't like it, why not treat Brother Liu as my own brother?
I once heard a saying: To like someone is not to possess him, but to make him happy, this is true love.
I understood the meaning of this sentence before, and now I finally understand it. Brother Liu, although I like you, my love will never be a rope to bind you. Love is about fulfillment. I just want you to be happy. As long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter what happens. For this purpose, I will do my best. "
Chen Li's affectionate confession seemed too corny and fake in the eyes of others. Is it really okay for a woman to act like this in public?
But Liu Xiu was really moved after hearing this. Although he could also see that Chen Li was acting a lot, these words were not something an ordinary woman could say. Moreover, Chen Li's ability to take things as they come was also very much to his liking. It was better than pestering him and ruining his plans like before.
"Okay, Ali is indeed a remarkable woman different from other women. Just based on what you said, you will be my real sister from now on. If anyone bullies you, it depends on whether I agree or not!" Liu Xiu was satisfied with Chen Li's attitude, so he was willing to make a promise to Chen Li, which changed the topic.
Chen Li was more satisfied than she had imagined after hearing Liu Xiu's words. This was the first time that Liu Xiu made a promise to her in front of everyone. Just based on this sentence, if others wanted to bully her in the future, they would have to consider their own weight.
When Yin Shi saw that it was Chen Li who came in, his face darkened. No one would be happy to see his sister's love rival, not to mention that this woman said so many words after she came in, and every word was about her friendship for Liu Xiu. How could he tolerate her seducing his future brother-in-law in front of everyone?
Yin Shi endured for a while for Liu Xiu's sake, but when he saw Liu Xiu making a promise to Chen Li and Chen Li, that fickle woman, smiling smugly, he could not help it. However, he could not get angry in front of Liu Xiu and Chen Li, so for Liu Xiu's sake, he glanced at the servant who let Chen Li in.
"How do you do this job? We are discussing important matters. How can we let an unknown woman in? What if the secrets are leaked? Can you afford it?" Yin Shi was not as arrogant as Chen Li. He was not dealing with other people's servants in other people's house. He just scolded the servants with a cold face to express his dissatisfaction. He also planned to interact between Liu Xiu and Chen Li.

The servant was watching the fight with great interest and didn't expect Yin Shi to suddenly attack him. However, as a servant serving Liu Xiu, he was quick-witted and understood the reason after a moment's thought. It was nothing more than a fight between gods and the suffering of mortals. He said in his heart that something was wrong and quickly knelt down to apologize.
