next day
After having breakfast, Lin Qinghuan stood idly at the entrance of the convenience store, watching several village children play marbles. Lin Piaoxue rolled her eyes at Lin Qinghuan several times, but Lin Qinghuan ignored her.
Li Jian didn't sleep a wink last night and only fell asleep at dawn. As soon as he woke up, he put on his shoes and rushed out of the house. He was going to find Lin Piaoxue and ask her why she was willing to marry Li Qiang but not him.
Li Qiang, who was sitting under the eaves smoking, frowned slightly when he saw Li Jian rushing out. Suddenly realizing that Li Jian might be going to see Lin Piaoxue, he also stood up and walked towards the door.
Lin Qinghuan saw Li Jian run to the convenience store, staring intently at Lin Piaoxue, as if he had a thousand words to say to her.
Lin Piaoxue blinked and asked with a smile, "Li Jian, are you going to buy something?"
"Snowflakes are falling..."
Li Jian's lips moved as he looked at Lin Piaoxue. He wanted to ask her why she would rather marry Li Qiang than him, but looking at her calm expression, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Seeing Li Jian's heartbroken expression, Lin Qinghuan glanced at Li Qiang, who had rushed to the convenience store, and her eyes lit up. She watched the scene with great interest. "Damn! This is going to be interesting!"
Two men are vying for one woman, and they are even brothers.
As soon as Li Qiang looked up, he saw Lin Qinghuan's eyes shining like stars, her face full of gossip. Li Qiang's lips twitched involuntarily. He looked away and glanced at Li Jian standing at the entrance of the convenience store, then strolled towards Li Jian.
"Second brother, what are you doing at the convenience store so early in the morning? Is there anything you want to buy?" Li Qiang asked.
Li Jian glared at him and said in a very unfriendly tone, "None of your business!"
Li Qiang asked, "Piaoxue, did my second brother give you any trouble?"
Lin Piaoxue replied, "No, he's been staring at me ever since he arrived, and I don't know what he wants to do."
Li Jian clenched his fists and asked with heartache, "Piaoxue, are you really going to marry my older brother?"
Lin Piaoxue smiled calmly and replied with a light laugh, "Yes! I'm going to marry your older brother, so you'll have to call me sister-in-law from now on, and you can't call me Piaoxue anymore."
Upon hearing this, Li Jian's face turned pale instantly, and he asked in grief, "Lin Piaoxue, you know perfectly well that I have loved you since I was a child. I have done everything I could and shouldn't have done for you. I have given you everything without any dignity, and now you want to marry my older brother."
"Lin Piaoxue, you ignore all my efforts, do you even have a heart?"
"I know I'm not very capable, but my sincerity towards you, Lin Piaoxue, is as clear as day."
“You don’t have to marry me, but you shouldn’t marry my older brother. You’ve slapped me in the face and made me lose face in front of the villagers.”
As Li Jian spoke, tears streamed down his face. The woman he loved didn't love him, and his own brother stole his sweetheart. He suddenly felt that there was no point in living in this world!
Lin Qinghuan looked at the heartbroken Li Jian and felt sorry for him, but she would not sympathize with someone who had hurt her.
Facing Li Jian's accusations, Lin Piaoxue showed no remorse and calmly looked at Li Jian, saying, "Li Jian, I am very grateful for your kindness to me, but I have always regarded you as a friend and an older brother. I cannot marry you just because you are good to me. That would be unfair to me, an insult to you, and unfair to us. I hope you will find a girl who truly loves you in the future, and I also hope you can bless me and your older brother."
Lin Piaoxue's words struck Li Jian like a hammer blow; he felt pain in his heart with every breath.
My friend, brother, I wish her and her brother all the best!
Seeing Li Jian bent over, clutching his chest and panting heavily, Li Qiang quickly went over to help him up and asked, "Second brother, are you feeling alright?"
Li Jian shook off Li Qiang's hand, "I don't need your fake kindness!"
Lin Qinghuan walked to Li Qiang's side, took his hand, and said, "Li Qiang, don't worry about Li Jian, he'll figure it out himself."
Li Qiang squeezed Lin Piaoxue's soft, white hand back. Lin Piaoxue took the initiative to get close to him, and he had no reason to pull away.
Lin Qinghuan stared wide-eyed at the scene before her. "My God!" Li Jian, that simp, ended up with nothing, especially since the person who stole his girlfriend was his own older brother!
