The man looked at his younger brother first and said, "This is my real name. What you know is my stage name."
Then, the man looked at his sister and said, "I'm not as hot as you say."
The older sister raised an eyebrow. "If you're not famous, then practically no one will dare to claim they are."
Younger brother: "Even someone like me who doesn't like watching TV knows which roles you've played."
The man said modestly, "I was just lucky. By the way, are you related to Xiuli?"
Sister: "No. Our brother and Uncle Qiao work in the same unit."
The man frowned. "The person Uncle Qiao saved was your brother?" The man knew that Qiao Qiuli's father had saved a colleague, but he didn't know exactly who that colleague was.
Younger brother: "Mmm."
The man stood in front of Qiao Xiuli, blocking her view. "What were you saying to Xiuli just now?"
Sister: "It's nothing."
The man didn't believe it. "Then why would Xiuli want to send you away?"
Sister: "We want to thank Uncle Joe in another way."
The man's eyes lit up immediately. "Is this your brother's idea?"
Sister: "Mmm."
The man immediately turned around and knelt on one knee. "Xiuli, marry me."
The older sister and younger brother exchanged glances for a while.
Sister: I didn't expect this guy to be so decisive.
Younger brother: Luckily we didn't agree to let Tengteng marry her. Otherwise... not only would we have broken up their marriage, but we might have also been cheated on.
Sister: Qiao Xiuli has really lost her mind. She has such a good man to offer and insists on making Tengteng marry her.
The younger brother winked at his older sister. Meaning: Sis, do you like him too?
The older sister's lips curled up slightly. Meaning: I just like his work.
On the other side, Qiao Xiuli was stunned when the man knelt down.
The man looked at Qiao Xiuli with deep affection and said, "Xiuli, I swear on your father's grave that I will only ever love you. If I ever do anything to wrong you, I will..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Qiao Xiuli interrupted, "I will not marry you."
The man assumed Qiao Xiuli still wanted to marry Tengteng: "Xiuli, if your father knew that their family didn't want to marry you, he definitely wouldn't let you marry into that family."
Qiao Xiuli closed her eyes briefly. "I know."
"Then why won't you marry me? Xiuli, I really love you. Xiuli, marry me. I've even prepared a wedding house."
Qiao Xiuli shook her head. "My father doesn't want me to be with you."
The man held Qiao Xiuli's hand and said, "Your father doesn't know how much I love you, which is why he doesn't want you to be with me."
The older sister really wanted to crack open Qiao Xiuli's head and see what was going on. "Sister Qiao, how exactly did you go against your father before?"
The man looked at his sister. "Why are you asking this?"
The older sister looked at the man and said, "Aren't you curious why she's so determined to fulfill her father's last wish?"
The man didn't speak.
The older sister smiled. "Now, although she can't fulfill her father's last wish, she still refuses to marry you because her father didn't like you. It's clear she must have..." The older sister originally wanted to say that she must have had a very intense conflict with her father in the past. But considering Qiao Xiuli's current mood, she changed her approach. "She must have done something special in the past. That's why she's stuck in this rut now."
The man gave a bitter smile. "Before entering the entertainment industry, I was involved in organized crime. Once, I was framed and arrested. Xiuli held a knife to her own neck to force her father to find evidence for me. If it weren't for her father, I might have been executed long ago."
The older sister looked at Qiao Xiuli and then at the man. "You two are really something."
The man was a little embarrassed. "I was young and naive back then, and I thought being involved in organized crime was cool."
The older sister pointed at Qiao Xiuli. "Was she involved in that kind of thing too?"
The man nodded. "We met when we were involved in organized crime."
The younger brother looked at the man and said, "No wonder I heard them say that you never use a stunt double when filming action scenes. So you have real combat experience."
"Did you change careers after you got out of jail?" her older sister asked curiously.
Man: "No."
The older sister was a little surprised. "I thought you changed careers because you were almost killed."
The man smiled. "I changed careers after I sent all the people who framed me to jail."
My sister smiled. "You've got guts. I admire you."
The man looked at Qiao Xiuli's father's tombstone and said, "Although I avenged myself, I also made Uncle Qiao dislike me even more."
The older sister understood immediately. "You used some extreme methods to avenge yourself?"
The man nodded.
Qiao Xiuli glared at the man: "Why are you telling them so much?"
The man looked into Qiao Xiuli's eyes and said, "Because I want them to know our story."
Sister: "Sister Qiao, you two have gone through so much to achieve what you have today. Sister Qiao, I hope you will cherish it."
Qiao Xiuli glanced at her sister. "Our business is none of your concern."
The older sister shrugged.
Younger brother: "You think we're so nosy?"
Qiao Xiuli: "If you don't want to manage things, then don't. I didn't ask you to manage things."
The younger brother was a little angry. "Why are you so stubborn?"
Qiao Xiuli gave her younger brother a cold snort. "Hypocrite!"
The older sister smiled. "Sister Qiao, your man is still kneeling on the ground."
Qiao Xiuli tried to pull the man up from the ground, but he remained kneeling and refused to get up.
The man looked deeply into Qiao Xiuli's eyes and said, "If you don't agree, I'll stay kneeling here and won't get up."
Qiao Xiuli was both angry and helpless. "You...you're a scoundrel."
The man looked at Qiao Xiuli and said, "So what if I'm a scoundrel? I've never been a gentleman. Xiuli, I originally wanted to win another international award before proposing to you. But after your father's sacrifice, your mind went astray. Xiuli, I don't want to wait any longer."
Qiao Xiuli tugged at the man again. "Get up first."
The man stared at Qiao Xiuli and said, "I told you, I won't get up unless you agree."
"How...how could you do this?"
The man understood Qiao Xiuli very well. "If I don't do this, you don't know when you'll be able to get out of this rut."
The younger brother looked at his older sister. (Meaning: Aren't you touched? Aren't you envious?)
The older sister smiled. True love is something you can't force; I hope they cherish it.
On the other side, Qiao Xiuli and the man remained locked in a stalemate. The man understood Qiao Xiuli, and Qiao Xiuli understood the man. "Are you really not getting up?"
"Um."
“Okay,” Qiao Xiuli said, pointing to her father’s tombstone. “If you can get my father to agree, I’ll marry you.”
The man paused, stunned. "Xiuli, your father..."
Qiao Xiuli turned her face away. "I can't fulfill my father's last wish. I don't want to upset him either."
“Fine.” The man stood up and knelt before Qiao Xiuli’s father’s grave. “Then I’ll stay kneeling here until your father agrees. Anyway, your father saved my life, so even if I kneel here to die, it won’t be in vain.”
