Li Xiangdong thought for a long time about how to phrase his words, and then personally helped Li Guoqing to sit down in the armchair before carefully considering his words.
"Guoqing, do you really like He Xiaohong that much?"
Li Guoqing nodded, "I can only see and remember her face clearly."
Li Xiangdong never expected that Li Guoqing would be face-blind.
However, face blindness is a difficult condition to treat.
"Well, I might have to tell you something."
Li Guoqing sat up straight and said, "Go on."
Li Xiangdong stared at his hands, which were white from exertion, and sighed inwardly.
"This He Xiaohong might be lying to you."
Li Guoqing's face remained expressionless. Although he liked He Xiaohong, he didn't believe Li Xiangdong would lie to him, given their long-standing relationship.
The first sentence is the hardest to say, but once you've said it, the rest will follow naturally.
“She’s not from Bincheng, nor is she only a year older than you, and she wasn’t imprisoned because she was framed and took the blame.”
"Do you remember that time when Brother Hongsong and I saved Xu Yunfeng and the others in Yanjing?"
Li Guoqing's neck was a little stiff. "I know."
"The reason the two groups started fighting was because Da Niu glanced at He Xiaohong a couple of times."
"..."
"He Xiaohong is from Yanjing. Because her mother died early, her father and stepmother disliked her, so she hung out with a group of hooligans."
She is three years older than you.
"She went to jail because of the fight she had with us. She was convicted of multiple crimes, including gang fighting, having illicit relationships, and intentionally causing serious injury. She was sentenced to six years in prison."
"I don't know if your meeting was really a coincidence caused by God, or if someone wanted to use He Xiaohong to get revenge on me."
Li Guoqing's complexion became increasingly strange. First, his face turned bluish, then pale, and then completely bloodless.
Li Xiangdong was extremely reluctant.
But she still cruelly finished saying what she wanted to say.
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Making things clear today can prevent many troubles from happening later.
Of course, it is up to Li Guoqing to decide what to do.
Li Guoqing felt as if he were walking on cotton, and he didn't know how he got out of Li Xiangdong's house.
When I got to the gate, I tripped on the threshold and almost fell flat on my face.
Li Xiangdong reacted quickly and grabbed his arm, thus regaining his balance.
Seeing Li Guoqing's absent-minded look, Li Xiangdong was also very upset.
My brother finally figured things out and fell for a woman, but it turned out to be someone he had made an enemy of before!
Where can you even begin to reason with this?!
After leaving Li Xiangdong's house, Li Guoqing neither went to the Summer Hotel to see He Xiaohong nor went home.
He buried himself in the house that had been allocated to him and stayed there for a whole day and night.
Li Xiangdong and Li Chang knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. Li Chang was worried that something had happened to him, so he finally had to climb into the yard using a ladder.
In just one day and one night, Li Guoqing's face was covered in bluish stubble, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.
Li Xiangdong and Li Chang exchanged a glance, both seeing heartache in each other's eyes.
Li Xiangdong spoke first, "Guoqing, don't be sad. If you really like her, then be with her!"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Chang again, "Right? Uncle!"
Li Chang opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Li Xiangdong urged him anxiously, "Didn't you just agree?"
Li Chang stamped his foot in frustration, threw down a sentence, and turned to leave.
"Whatever! I don't care anymore!"
Li Xiangdong grinned, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that!"
Li Guoqing looked up at Li Xiangdong and said, word by word, "Second Brother, we need to keep He Xiaohong calm before we can find out who's behind her."
"yes?"
Li Xiangdong picked at his ear in disbelief. "What did you say? Find out who's behind this? Investigate He Xiaohong!"
Li Guoqing's face was more serious and calm than ever before.
"Yes! Investigate He Xiaohong!"

He Xiaohong stayed in the executive suite at the Summer Hotel, where the food and accommodations were excellent, and Li Lan came over every day to keep her company and talk to her.
But this morning, her eyelids suddenly started twitching uncontrollably.
A twitching left eye means bad luck, a twitching right eye means good fortune.
Unfortunately, He Xiaohong's left eye was the one that twitched.
She felt inexplicably agitated.
Li Lan smiled and comforted her, and even asked the waiter to bring her a small white paper slip so that she could stick it on her left eyelid with her saliva.
He Xiaohong did as instructed, but her left eye continued to twitch.
Li Lan had promised to go shopping with her, but unexpectedly, the hot pot chicken restaurant ran into some problems that she needed to resolve.
"Little Hong, I'm so sorry, I have to go now. I'll definitely be able to go with you tomorrow!"
Li Lan held He Xiaohong's hand and apologized repeatedly.
He Xiaohong forced a smile, "Sister, look at what you're saying, business is more important! I can go shopping by myself!"
Li Lan took out another wad of cash and insisted that she accept it, saying it was money to buy her clothes.
As He Xiaohong left the Summer Hotel with her bag, a nimble figure quickly followed her.
Li Xiangdong's house.
Li Guoqing and Li Xiangdong sat facing each other and played chess.
"Tiao Ma—Brother Gui said she didn't see anyone today, just went shopping normally."
“I’m going to bring her home tomorrow and tell her that my parents have given their approval.”
"Eat—Uncle Chang and Aunt Chang won't give it away, will they?"
"Oh dear, it's stuck in a rut, take it back!"
"Heh heh, the first shot, checkmate!"
The two were making a ruckus inside the house. Old Mrs. Jiang and Doctor Gu said, "Two lousy chess players are playing chess, and it's getting more and more exciting!"
Doctor Gu shook his head, "Don't let Xiang Dong hear this, or he'll pester me to play chess with him again!"
————
He Xiaohong didn't expect that Li Guoqing would persuade his parents so quickly.
Although Li Chang and Guoqing's mother still had stern faces, they each gave her a large red envelope.
He Xiaohong was so excited that her whole body was trembling slightly.
Li Guoqing grasped her hand, "I'll take you to meet my good buddy!"
Because there were many people, we ate the meal outside.
Li Lan reserved a large private room for them.
Li Guoqing introduced everyone to He Xiaohong.
When Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong were introduced, He Xiaohong visibly flinched.
Li Guoqing looked at her intently and asked, "Why are you trembling?"
He Xiaohong forced herself to remain calm, "Ah, it's nothing, it's just a little cold inside."
Qiao Xiaohuan laughed and said, "Hey, it's my fault. I get hot easily because I'm pregnant, so I turned the air conditioner down a bit. Hongsong, quickly turn the temperature up!"
He Xiaohong quickly stopped her, "No need, sister-in-law, I... I was just a little uncomfortable coming in from the sun. It's nice to be in a cooler place."
After everyone was introduced, everyone took their seats.
He Xiaohong sat upright, not even glancing at Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong.
Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "Xiao Hong, haven't we met somewhere before?"
