Ji Yanchuan's eyes widened, as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
"Give me the jade pendant, give it back to me now!"
After seeing the jade pendant in his hand, Xiao Heng reached out to grab it without thinking.
Ji Yanchuan grabbed the jade pendant and ran forward: "Brother Xiao, if you don't explain clearly today, you won't get the jade pendant!"
Xiao Heng was about to go forward to chase after him, but Zhou Ziyu and Shen Huaixu quickly grabbed his arms, vaguely sensing something fishy.
"Brother Xiao, don't leave in such a hurry. Tell us what's going on!"
"Brother Xiao, isn't this the jade pendant that Jiang Li bet on you yesterday?"
Wei Lan expressed his doubts seriously, but his brain was still a beat slower than Zhou Ziyu and the others.
Finally, Xiao Heng broke free from the two's restraints, flew in front of Ji Yanchuan, snatched the jade pendant back, and held it tightly in his palm.
Although the jade pendant was recovered, the truth could no longer be concealed.
Zhou Ziyu and his men are as shrewd as monkeys and can detect something fishy even in a small matter.
Of course, Wei Lan is an exception among these people.
Finally, the five of them gathered in Xiao Heng's room and surrounded him.
"Brother Xiao, tell the truth, what is going on?"
Zhou Ziyu sat on the table, with his arms folded across his chest, staring straight at Xiao Heng in front of him.
Shen Huaixu and Ji Yanchuan sat on either side of Xiao Heng. Wei Lan bent over with his butt sticking out, his elbows resting on the table with his chin supported.
Full of gossip.
Xiao Heng pursed his lips. At this point he didn't plan to keep it secret any longer.
"I am pleased with Ali."
The four of them nodded: "I see."
Xiao Heng: "...Why are you all so calm?"
The four of them realized what Xiao Heng said belatedly, their pupils trembled, and they all stood up straight.
"What?!"
"Brother Xiao, you, you, you are pleased with...Jiang Li?"
Under their shocked gaze, Xiao Heng nodded.
The four of them were now completely uneasy, and they all leaned over to Xiao Heng, trying to find any signs of lying on his face.
But it didn't.
It is a foregone conclusion that Xiao Heng likes Jiang Li.
"Oh! Brother Xiao, you, you, you, you said you like someone else, why did you have to choose Jiang Li?"
Zhou Ziyu clapped his hands anxiously and paced back and forth in the room.
Xiao Heng poured a cup of tea without changing his expression and took a sip. Instead of refutating Zhou Ziyu's words, he nodded seriously.
"Yeah, why did it have to be her?"
"Hey, Brother Xiao, you, you, you, how can you still have the mood to drink tea at this time!"
Ji Yanchuan looked anxious and reached out to grab the teacup from Xiao Heng's hand, but he dodged it by turning around.
"What should I do now?"
Shen Huaixu also looked solemn.
They wanted Brother Xiao to find a woman he liked as soon as possible, but they didn't want him to find his future sister-in-law!
What the hell is going on! The three of them were all very anxious because Xiao Heng was in love with Jiang Li, but Wei Lan patted Xiao Heng's shoulder with a firm look on his face.
"Brother Xiao, it's not shameful to like someone. Even if, even if she is your future sister-in-law, she is only engaged to your eldest brother, not married."
"Besides, even if you get married, you may still get divorced, not to mention breaking off the engagement."
After hearing Wei Lan's words, Xiao Heng's eyes lit up, as if he had met a close friend. He slammed the teacup heavily on the table, stood up and excitedly grabbed Wei Lan's arm.
"Wei Lan, my good brother, you still understand me the best!"
Zhou Ziyu and the other two: "..."
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that? Aren't we your good brothers anymore?"
The three of them nodded: "We know."
Xiao Heng continued: "I had already decided on her the first time I saw her."
The three of them blinked and said, "That's right, your style."
Xiao Heng said sternly: "So none of you can stop me, and you can't stop my feelings for her."
The three spread their hands and said, "We didn't mean to stop you."
Xiao Heng frowned in confusion: "What about your reaction just now?"
"Aren't we trying to find a solution for you?"
The three of them spoke in unison, looking at Xiao Heng with an expression of "what else do you think?"
Xiao Heng coughed twice in frustration: "That's great!"
As soon as he changed his words, his eyes swept across the four people's faces one by one: "So have you thought of a solution?"
The four of them shook their heads in unison, like rattles.
Xiao Heng sighed and returned to his seat: "I knew you were useless."
Four people: “???”
Wei Lan gritted his teeth: "Who said there is no way? I have a way!"
"What is the solution?"
"It's easy. While Jiang Li hasn't married Brother Xiao yet, Brother Xiao can quickly win her heart and let her break off the engagement with Brother Xiao, right?"
Zhou Ziyu and Ji Yanchuan looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Xiao Heng's face.
"Brother Xiao, although this is immoral, I think it's okay."
"That's right. Since the Jiang family and the Xiao family are old friends, then changing the marriage contract between your two families will not affect their friendship!"
"The premise is that the person Jiang Li likes is you, and then we can test Brother Xiao's attitude. If Brother Xiao has no romantic feelings for Jiang Li, then this matter is settled!"
After all, when a younger brother takes his older brother's wife, it still hurts the harmony between brothers...
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, let alone there are four of them.
After getting together, he analyzed the matter clearly for Xiao Heng in minutes.
Xiao Heng touched his chin thoughtfully and nodded heavily: "Good brother, you are right!"
"So Brother Xiao agrees with our method?"
"Well, now that things have come to this, we can only give it a try."
Xiao Heng pursed his lips, looking determined.
How can it be possible for everyone to be fair to others in this world?
So brother... I'm sorry! Xiao Heng is a person who never backs down when faced with a problem. No matter if it's a problem or a person, once he makes up his mind, he will definitely give it a try.
Now he fell in love with Jiang Li at first sight. Despite their special identities, he still couldn't let it go.
Since you can't let go, then give it a try.
If she still doesn't like him after trying, then he will travel around the world, stay away from her, and never appear in her sight to get in her way.
But if she and he have a mutual understanding, he will not let go of her hand even if he is branded as unkind and unjust.
After making up my mind, the huge stone that had been weighing on my chest for the past few days suddenly fell to the ground.
The road ahead is also clearing away the dark clouds and revealing the bright moon.
"My brother will come to visit the academy in a few days. I will find a chance to test his opinion then."
Zhou Ziyu patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Brother Xiao, we are counting on you!"
"In fact, it's not Brother Xiao's fault that he fell in love with his future sister-in-law."
Wei Lan said this unexpectedly.
Several people looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Of course Wei Lan did not disappoint everyone.
He crossed his arms over his chest and said seriously, "After all, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than... umm!"
