"Oh, no one ever complains about having too much money..." the little dumpling said thoughtfully. "So, when Third Aunt's family lost money in their business and wanted to take money from Sister Mo'er's family, it's because they don't think they have enough money and want to swallow Sister Mo'er's family whole?"
Auntie San was embarrassed and angry when she was exposed so innocently in public. "The Su family is indeed not simple. They have raised a little child who is so eloquent. If Mo'er really marries into such a family, won't she be eaten up without leaving a trace?"
She then turned to Li Mo'er's mother, "Sister-in-law, I think our Mo'er doesn't need to go to such lengths. Your brother-in-law has a nephew who's only a year older than Mo'er. He's handsome and capable; at such a young age, he's already built a successful company from scratch..."
Su Ruanruan blinked her big eyes. So that's what her third aunt really meant!
This is truly a scheme to completely control Sister Mo'er and then take advantage of her!
"Sister Mo'er, is the brother your third aunt mentioned as handsome as my older brother? Is he as rich as my older brother?" Su Ruanruan broke free from Su Yiqing's embrace, tugged at Li Mo'er's clothes, and asked innocently with her little face upturned.
Originally intending to confront her third aunt, but worried about breaking the rules, Li Mo'er quickly found her direction and asked her third aunt with a smile: "Third aunt, I heard that my uncle's nephew served five years in prison for drunk driving and hit-and-run. It was only after my uncle went around asking people and pulling strings that his sentence was reduced."
I honestly can't see what's so great about a man who's not as handsome or rich as my boyfriend, and who has a real criminal record, compared to him.
As she spoke, she took her mother's arm and said, "Mom, there are some bad rumors about Yiqing, but Yiqing and I can explain to you slowly what's going on."
As for my uncle's nephew, if I were to actually marry someone like that, it would truly be as Grandpa said, ruining the reputation of our upright family.
Li Mo'er's mother's expression was also unpleasant. She said coldly, "We appreciate Third Sister's kindness, but Mo'er already has a boyfriend, so there's no need for Third Sister to worry about it."
My third sister and second brother's wife are busy at home, so they should go back first. You can come visit another day, and I, as the eldest sister-in-law, will treat you well then.
Once the order to leave was given, even the two of them, no matter how thick-skinned, felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.
After this farce, once the two women left, the other relatives naturally felt embarrassed to stay any longer and all left as well.
Only after Grandpa Li, Li Mo'er's parents, and her brother were left did the house finally become quiet.
Grandpa Li sighed and said to Li Mo'er's father, Li Yao, "From now on, if anything happens to your third sister, don't get involved."
After saying that, the old man turned to Su Yiqing and said, "Little Su, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer so much criticism for no reason."
A polite smile appeared on Su Yiqing's usually cold face. "Grandpa, you're too kind."
However, Li Mo'er's mother, Wang Xueli, asked anxiously, "Xiao Su, it's not that I don't believe you, but Mo'er brought you home to meet us, so she must really want to spend her life with you. Can you tell us what's going on with those rumors about you outside, so we can have some information?"
Su Ruanruan clearly felt Li Moer tighten her grip on her hand. Looking up, she saw Li Moer constantly giving her older brother meaningful glances. It was obvious that Li Moer was nervous and worried that Su Yiqing wouldn't be able to handle it and would reveal the truth that they were pretending to be a couple.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, this is a long story," Su Yiqing said politely.
Li Mo'er's brother, Li Zirui, walked over and patted Su Yiqing on the shoulder, "It's a long story, so let's take it slow."
“Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Su, speak slowly,” Grandpa Li echoed.
Su Ruanruan's gaze unconsciously fell on Li Zirui. Judging from his upright posture, she knew he had been trained in the army for many years. The imposing aura he exuded was something that only high-ranking officers could possess.
However, their probing attitude towards Su Yiqing only made Li Mo'er more nervous.
Su Yiqing calmly followed Li Zirui to sit down on the sofa, and then began to recount her experiences from back then in an orderly manner.
Although he spoke as if he were telling someone else's story without any emotion, his voice was naturally magnetic and deep, easily drawing people into the content he was speaking.
Before long, Old Master Li was drawn into the story, looking at him with a pained expression and sighing.
Li Yao and Wang Xueli's expressions softened, and eventually, even Li Zirui's icy face melted.
After Su Yiqing finished speaking, Li Mo'er and Grandpa Li's eyes reddened, and the whole room fell silent.
In the end, Li Yao went over and patted Su Yiqing on the shoulder first, "Xiao Su, you've been through so much. From now on, we're family. If anything happens, we'll face it together as a family!"
Li Mo'er wiped away her tears and punched him on the shoulder. "Yes, we'll face it together!"
Su Yiqing looked at her as if she were an idiot, while Li Yao and Wang Xueli also said with stern faces, "Mo'er, you're such a grown-up, can't you act like a girl?"
"It's really kind of Su to not look down on you!"
Li Mo'er smiled awkwardly, only then realizing that she had been so engrossed in listening to Su Yiqing's story that she had forgotten her current fake relationship with Su Yiqing and had automatically identified herself as Su Yiqing's brother.
