Song Shishi's uncle is also a figure in the Beijing officialdom, but he rarely shows up in public.
This time, Song Zhenhua’s incident caused a sensation in Beijing, and the news was spread everywhere in the streets and alleys.
But Zheng Peilan was determined to divorce Song Zhenhua.
It was also expected that Song Shishi's uncle Zheng Zecheng would come forward at this time.
But Meng Xunzhou went out, but not to see Zheng Zecheng.
Tomorrow he will take the soldiers in his company to participate in a military exercise, and Song Shishi will go on a business trip with Mr. Xie from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tomorrow.
So he made an appointment with Song Shishi to go to Siheyuan for dinner today.
By the way, he also has to pass on a message.
When he arrived at the entrance of the alley where Song Shishi's courtyard was located, he saw from afar a man pulling Xu Li's arm at a three-way intersection not far away.
...
...
Xu Li seemed to be struggling.
Meng Xunzhou frowned and parked the car.
Just as he was about to get out of the car to help, Shi Tou ran out from somewhere and punched the man in the face.
The two men soon started wrestling on the ground.
Xu Li stood aside, feeling a little at a loss.
Meng Xunzhou opened the car door, got out, ran over quickly, and quickly separated the two people.
But Meng Xunzhou was protecting his own people after all, so when he separated the stone from the man, he held the man's hands, making him unable to move.
This also gave Shi Tou an opportunity to fight back and vent his anger.
Shitou took the opportunity to punch the man in the stomach a few more times.
"Who are you? Let me go."
The man struggled desperately. Meng Xunzhou saw Shi Tou retreat and turned to check if Xu Li was injured. Only then did he release his hand that was holding the man.
Only then did the man see clearly the military uniform Meng Xunzhou was wearing.
He didn't say anything else. He glanced at Xu Li, gritted his teeth and ran away unwillingly.
With tears in her eyes, Xu Li looked at the bruises and blood at the corners of Shi Tou's mouth. She raised her hand to touch it, but was afraid of hurting Shi Tou.
"Does it hurt?"
Shitou shook his head, "I'm fine, I'll take you back first."
"good."
Meng Xunzhou followed behind the two of them without taking the initiative to speak.
Xu Li was obviously too frightened to recover yet, and now they were still outside, so it was inconvenient to ask her anything.
Besides, she has someone who cares about her, so she doesn’t need him, right?
He is still waiting to find Song Shishi.
After watching the movie last time, they didn't see each other for two days.
When he reached the main courtyard, Shitou seemed to suddenly remember that it was Meng Xunzhou who had helped him just now. He stopped and turned around to thank Meng Xunzhou.
"Brother Meng, thank you so much today."
"These are just small matters. Are you both okay?"
Meng Xunzhou's eyes swept over Shi Tou and Xu Li.
Apart from being frightened, Xu Li had no obvious signs of injury on her body, and the stone injuries only caused some superficial wounds.
Xu Li shook her head, "Brother Meng, can you please not tell my brother about what happened today?"
Meng Xunzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but nodded in agreement without asking any questions.
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and walked straight towards the west wing.
I don’t know if Song Shishi deliberately left the door open for him, but the door of the west wing was wide open.
Song Shishi was curled up in a recliner, reading a book in her hands.
"Why didn't you cook today? I thought I could taste your cooking today."
Song Shishi heard footsteps coming from the door, looked up, and saw that it was Meng Xunzhou. A faint smile spread across her face.
Meng Xunzhou walked up to her, took the book from her hand, looked at the cover, and found that it was the book Xie Youan gave her last time.
Song Shishi just lay in the recliner, holding Meng Xunzhou's hand and looking up at him.
"I wanted to help in the kitchen, but my mom kicked me out for some reason today."
"Aunt Zheng has been injured several times recently because of Uncle Song's affairs. She can't handle running around in the kitchen alone. How about I go with you to help her, so that Aunt Zheng can take a break."
Song Shishi's eyes instantly showed a smile, and then she took the strength from Meng Xunzhou's hand and stood up from the recliner.
"My mother really loves you for a reason. I wonder if Aunt Fu will be jealous if she finds out?"
Hearing this, Meng Xunzhou gently rubbed the back of her head lovingly.
"My mother is not that stingy. She always told me that it would be nice if you were her daughter."
Song Shishi covered her mouth and laughed.
The two walked out of the house side by side. Just as they reached the porch, they heard a fierce argument coming from the room next to them.
The sharp tone broke the original tranquility of the courtyard.
Song Shishi suddenly stopped in her tracks, and the smile on her face disappeared.
She subconsciously looked up and met Meng Xunzhou's gaze, her eyes full of confusion.
"Lili, can't you just stay calm and learn the craft from Comrade Qiao? I'll take care of the money, and I'll work hard to marry you."
There was an unconcealable helplessness in the stone's voice.
The tone of voice trembled slightly, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally found an outlet.
There was a slight hint of tears in Xu Li's voice. "How can I not be anxious?"
"I see how hard you work every day, going through wind and rain, and I want to help you share the burden.
Besides, with your salary, when will you be able to save enough to buy three turns and one ring?
You can afford it, but how can I?
I thought that after learning from Sister Yan Xin for some time, I had some skills, so I could go out and take some private orders and perm people's hair, so that I could earn some extra money to supplement the family income, but who knows..."
Having said this, Xu Li's voice suddenly stopped, choked by the surging tears, leaving only intermittent sobs.
Although Shi Tou felt distressed seeing Xu Li crying, what she said was really infuriating.
Shi Tou was so angry that his voice rose several degrees, and what he said next was almost like a shout.
"You're going out to take jobs without even learning the craft, what if something goes wrong?
Do you know how dangerous it is? Have you ever thought about what those people are up to? "
His words were full of anger, but more of it was his deep concern for Xu Li.
If he hadn't arrived in time today, I can't imagine what Xu Li would have gone through.
Xu Li burst into tears, her words full of grievance: "I am doing this for our future. I don't want you to carry it all alone. I also want to live a good life with you soon, and I don't want you to be so tired."
Her cries echoed in the ear chamber, making people outside feel heartbroken.
Meng Xunzhou's brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" character, and he subconsciously took a step forward.
After all, Xu Li is Xu Qiang's biological sister. Since Xu Qiang is not here, he naturally wants to help if he can.
Meng Xunzhou was just about to step forward and persuade the emotional young couple.
But at this moment, Song Shishi was quick-witted and grabbed his arm.
"The young couple is talking, why are you there?"
