Chapter 161: Holding her hand?
She suddenly felt a little aggrieved and her eyes turned red.
If you still miss your ex-fiancée, why do you want to break up? Why do you want to go out on a blind date?
"No...no..." Li Lei explained hurriedly.
"What's the matter?" Meng Xiaoning asked in a low voice.
Li Lei sighed: "It's just that the time was too short. I always felt that something was not right. Besides, I only dated one person like that, and I was really devoted to her when we were together. She really hurt me deeply, so now..."
Li Lei didn't finish his words, but Meng Xiaoning understood.
He was scared, afraid of getting hurt again.
"I'm not that kind of person anyway. Not to mention that you have retired now, even if you are still serving, if I were to be with you... then I would only be determined to be with one person." Meng Xiaoning said in a low voice.
Because she was a little shy, she just glossed over one sentence in the middle.
At her age, she is not young anymore. Ever since her previous fiancé passed away, someone spread the rumor that she was unlucky and would not marry well.
So for so many years, few people introduced her to potential partners. Even if they did, they would only introduce the ugly ones.
They were either old or disabled. She naturally looked down on that kind of people.
She didn't know any boys of the same age around her, and the garment factory was basically full of female workers.
Li Lei was the best person she had ever met in all these years. Even if she was shy, she wanted to try her best to catch him.
"But..." Li Lei looked up and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly stopped.
Meng Xiaoning waited for a while, but Li Lei didn't say anything next.
She could only raise her head and look at Li Lei.
Li Lei was seen staring blankly at a certain place.
Following Li Lei's gaze, I saw a man and a woman walking towards this side side by side not far away.
Meng Xiaoning asked curiously, "Is that someone you know?"
Li Lei took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and whispered: "That woman is my ex-fiancée, and that man is her other boyfriend, whom I have met."
The man standing with Liang Yufang was actually the Xiao Wang whom I met that day.
He didn't expect that after such an incident, Xiao Wang could still be with Liang Yufang.
Hearing Li Lei's words, Meng Xiaoning instantly began to feel sorry for him.
Therefore, Meng Xiaoning's eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at Liang Yufang.
Liang Yufang and Xiao Wang were chatting and laughing. When they looked up, they saw Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning.
After seeing the scene of Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning together, Liang Yufang bit her lip, looking a little aggrieved and a little surprised.
Li Lei immediately said to Meng Xiaoning: "Let's go!"
Meng Xiaoning also nodded and was about to leave with Li Lei.
"Stop!" As a result, Xiao Wang behind him suddenly spoke angrily.
Before Li Lei could react, Xiao Wang rushed up, grabbed Li Lei by the collar and was about to hit him.
Li Lei's skills were much better than his, so he pushed him away with his backhand: "What are you crazy about?"
Xiao Wang looked at Meng Xiaoning and snorted coldly: "You are despicable. In order to get back the 600 yuan, you actually bullied them like this. Are you still a human being?"
Liang Yufang followed Xiao Wang and pulled him: "Forget it, let's go!"
Li Lei looked at Liang Yufang coldly without saying anything.
Xiao Wang stretched out his hand, pointed at Li Lei's nose and cursed: "You are a bastard. You are not a good person. Sooner or later, you will get your retribution."
Before Li Lei could speak, Meng Xiaoning, who had been standing next to him, suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Li Lei. He stretched out his hand and knocked Xiao Wang's hand away. "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to point your finger at others? Also, who are you calling a bastard? What did he do to be despicable?"
No one expected that Meng Xiaoning would suddenly stand up, and everyone present was stunned.
Li Lei looked at Meng Xiaoning's thin figure with a look of surprise and emotion, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Liang Yufang pulled Xiao Wang and immediately saw the look in Li Lei's eyes when he looked at Meng Xiaoning.
She screamed in her heart: Why? Why did that woman do that?
Xiao Wang could take action when facing Li Lei, but he couldn't do the same when facing this woman Meng Xiaoning, right?
He snorted in annoyance, "You two have been hooking up for a long time, right? Did Li Lei break off his engagement with Yufang just for you? And then you turned the tables and used such despicable means to get the betrothal gift back! Girl, I advise you to think carefully. If he can do this to Yufang, he can do this to you too!"
"You don't have to worry about our affairs. I think you should think it over carefully to avoid being played around by others." Meng Xiaoning curled the corners of his lips and looked at Liang Yufang, "Since the engagement has been cancelled, there is nothing to do with each other. Don't mess with each other in the future!"
Xiao Wang didn't expect that Meng Xiaoning would be so stubborn, "You..."
He took a step forward with some excitement.
At this moment, Li Lei reached out and took Meng Xiaoning's hand, pulling her behind him. Then he looked at Xiao Wang and said, "I, Li Lei, never lie, and there is no need to lie. I don't know how she explained it to you, but you heard it clearly. Before I retired from the army, I never told her about canceling the engagement."
Although Xiao Wang is just an insignificant person, Li Lei didn't want Meng Xiaoning to misunderstand him, so he took this opportunity to explain it clearly.
"I even retired from the army for her. I could have stayed in the army. I came back to marry her. After all, she waited for me for three years. It wasn't until I found out that she was dating someone else behind my back that I thought about canceling the engagement and asking for the betrothal gift back."
Li Lei paused, then looked at Liang Yufang, "Our story is over, you know who is right and who is wrong. I advise you, no matter who you are with or what lies you tell, it's best not to affect me. Otherwise, I will not let you go."
After saying that, he took Meng Xiaoning's hand and left the scene.
Liang Yufang was standing behind, watching the two people leave hand in hand, her teeth were almost broken from biting them.
Let's turn the page? Why? Li Lei, why are you so cruel? Three years of relationship, you just turn the page?
She stared hatefully at the two people's tightly clasped hands, and didn't even notice Xiao Wang's puzzled look.
At the same time, Meng Xiaoning was also staring at the two people's clasped hands.
She was a little bit unbelieving: Li Lei held her hand?
The two of them soon arrived at the place where Li Lei parked his bicycle. Only then did Li Lei realize that he had been holding Meng Xiaoning's hand.
He seemed to have been electrocuted and quickly let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, I... I didn't notice..."
