As soon as Li Xiangdong got home, he went to investigate Xue Yuyu's background.
Sure enough, Jiang Li never broke off contact with Xue Ran.
In his previous life, Zhou Yicheng never lost power, and Jiang Li only reconciled with Xue Ran after Zhou Yicheng's death.
By then, Zhou Yuyu was already grown up, and Jiang Li wanted to take advantage of Zhou Yicheng's remaining influence, so Zhou Yuyu did not change her surname.
Because of the Jiang family's influence, Zhou Yicheng moved out of the small Western-style house that represented power at a young age, and was paralyzed in bed due to the shock.
There was nothing left of Zhou Yicheng that Jiang Li could exploit, so she packed up the last of Zhou's valuable possessions and reunited with her daughter and Xue Ran.
However, Jiang Li's fate was no different from her previous life; she died at the age of fifty.
After that, Xue Ran stopped working and spent his days living off the family fortune, taking Xue Yuyu, who had changed her surname, with him.
Later, they happened to meet Guo Yuxi.
"Were they deliberately trying to seduce Yu Xi?"
Gui Yuhe took a sip of tea. "It's hard to say. But this Xue Yuyu used to work for a Hong Kong boss."
Li Xiangdong, “…”
"Later, the boss returned to Hong Kong and gave Xue Yuyu a sum of money."
"After Xue Yuyu and Xue Ran spent all their money, they set their sights on Yuxi again?"
Gui Yuhe said calmly, "During that time, they also tried to find other wealthy people, but without success."
Li Xiangdong was speechless.
Gui Yuhe said, "These days, people who get ahead are all very shrewd. Just by looking at the Xue family father and daughter, you can tell what they're up to."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Yu Xi is young, rich, has a career, and is naive. She is indeed a very good person to take over."
Are you trying to say he's stupid?
"He's never been in a relationship, so that's normal."
Li Xiangdong looked up at the distant sky and seemed to see a glimpse of his past self, the one with a silly look on his face...
Gui Yuhe's investigation was largely accurate; Xue Yuyu probably didn't have much of a connection with He Xiaohong.
Speaking of He Xiaohong, Li Xiangdong recalled another important figure: "Has Song Deyi been released from prison?"
"He's out. It's said he's in the business of reselling timber from Northeast China to the South."
Li Xiangdong frowned. "Has Song Deyi not contacted Xue Yuyu?"
When Song Deyi was sentenced, Xue Yuyu was greatly shocked and looked dazed, as if she had lost her soul.
With such deep affection, he didn't believe Xue Yuyu wouldn't contact Song Deyi.
"Furthermore, He Xiaohong and Song Deyi were all in the same group and were sentenced together!"
Gui Yuhe immediately stood up, "I'll go check it out right now!"

Li Xiangdong always felt that these people were planning something big.
To quell external threats, internal stability must come first. Li Xiangdong directly summoned Li Guoqing and Guo Yuxi to his home.
Guo Yuxi has been extremely annoyed these days because of the various conditions Xue Ran has set.
Today it's fat chickens and big ducks, tomorrow it'll be river delicacies and small fish, and the day after tomorrow it might be dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground.
When Guo Jinfang returned home, he gave his son a firm order: he absolutely refused to agree to the marriage.
On one hand, he had to beg his parents to give in, and on the other hand, he had to take care of his picky father-in-law. Xue Yuyu would also throw little tantrums from time to time, requiring him to coax her. Guo Yuxi was so busy that he was overwhelmed.
He probably didn't get enough rest either; his dark circles made him look like a panda rolling around.
Li Xiangdong didn't lay any groundwork; he simply told Guo Yuxi the same thing he had told Li Guoqing before.
"......"
In short, my personal opinion is that you shouldn't be with this woman. However, it also depends on your own thoughts.
If Guo Yuxi insists on being with Xue Yuyu, then she may not be able to be with Li Xiangdong in the future.
Li Guoqing naturally understood the implication in Li Xiangdong's words.
In his opinion, even if those wearing red are gone, there will be those wearing green; his second brother wouldn't harm them in such a matter.
Sure enough, Guo Yuxi stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
Li Xiangdong didn't press him for details.
When faced with such a distressing situation, Guo Yuxi, who is just beginning to experience romantic feelings, definitely needs a while to process it.
What could be more heartbreaking than the sudden shattering of a beautiful first love?
It must have been five or six minutes before Guo Yuxi suddenly clutched her head and squatted down on the ground.
Li Guoqing was worried that he had been traumatized, so he quickly went to check on him, but Li Xiangdong stopped him and shook his head.
Half a day later, Guo Yuxi suddenly stood up, gritted her teeth, and cursed fiercely, "Damn it! You mean I've been scammed?!"
Seeing his reaction, both Li Xiangdong and Li Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Guo Yuxi didn't react like a male protagonist in a Qiong Yao drama, clutching his head and roaring that he didn't believe it!
Guo Yuxi strode up to Li Xiangdong, her face dark, and asked, "Second Brother, tell me in detail, how many men has Xue Yuyu deceived? Which one am I?"
Li Xiangdong patted his head, his eyes filled with pity, "It's better if you don't know."
"......"
Guo Yuxi paced wildly around the room, muttering to himself, "I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police! This father and daughter are swindlers! They cheated me out of my heart, my money, and even my body! Waaaaah~ My virginity..."
Li Xiangdong, “…”
Li Guoqing advised him, "Forget it, you're not short of money. Besides, you've already lost your virginity to her, consider it compensation."
Guo Yuxi nearly spat in Li Guoqing's face, "I've already spent over five thousand on them!"
"Huh? How come it cost so much money?"
Guo Yuxi pouted, "They bought food and clothes."
"Five thousand is fine, it's not that much money."
Li Guoqing patiently advised him.
Guo Yuxi said indignantly, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. How can you just let this embarrassing and heartbreaking thing go? I must get my revenge!"
Li Xiangdong suddenly interjected, "Why don't you ask Xue Yuyu if he really loves you? Maybe he has his reasons?"
Guo Yuxi spat, "I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run! The way she looked at me was completely different from the way Sister Ruoruo looked at you!"
"It's fake! It's definitely fake! They're just trying to scam me out of my money!"
Guo Yuxi muttered to herself, "His father said she was just a shy little girl. Sorry, I spit on that!"
As he spoke, he was about to rush out the door.
Li Guoqing grabbed him and said, "Hold on a bit!"
Guo Yuxi glared angrily, "Endure? Easier said than done! If you were asked to endure this, would you?"
Li Guoqing: "I'll put up with it!"
"ah?"
Guo Yuxi was dumbfounded.
After Li Xiangdong succinctly explained He Xiaohong's background, Guo Yuxi finally calmed down.
It's good that I'm not the only one who embarrassed myself.
He put his arm around Li Guoqing's shoulder sympathetically, "We're in the same boat, brothers in misfortune!"
