Chapter 184 Breaking the Limits?
Liu Qiuwu, who clearly saw the raised corners of his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly. Li Jingran's handsome face involuntarily appeared in his mind, and suddenly a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
"Brother Li and I are just friends."
Liu Qiuwu enunciated his words clearly, but after he finished speaking he felt that there was an inexplicable hint of concealment in his words, and he immediately pursed his thin lips.
When Qin Ji heard this, the smile under his drooped eyelids became even more intense, but it quickly disappeared when he raised his eyes.
After all, it wouldn't be a good thing if I accidentally scared away my cousin's wife who he had tried so hard to please, but...
Qin Ji's mind moved, and he sighed that he was such a good person, pretending to be helpless and said: "I know, but my cousin is a bit stubborn, but he is not a bad person, so Mr. Liu, if you have no other thoughts about him, just keep your heart steady and be firm."
Hearing this, Liu Qiuwu suddenly felt a little annoyed.
In recent days, Li Jingran's close and scorching gaze that almost nailed him, as well as his pressing posture, made him unable to resist and exhausted.
He still couldn't figure out what this man liked about him? Was it that the petite girl wasn't cute enough? Or that the slender and virtuous man wasn't good enough? Why did he have to like a hard-boiled man like him?
Obviously, even Li Jingran himself couldn't figure it out.
In a nutshell, if you like it, you like it. There is no need to ask so many questions.
If I have to say something, it's that when I first saw the other person, I only felt a glimpse of him/her, and when I saw him/her again, I wanted to take him/her for myself, and when he/she grew up, I wanted to bully him/her severely...
Of course, the above is just Li Jingran’s personal opinion.
And Liu Qiuwu is also a smart man.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the cruel reality told him that he would only react when his emotions were affected by the other party.
Most importantly, his annoyance, depression, and deep sense of powerlessness were not because he didn't hate the other person, but because he was too passive. Recently, he kept dreaming about...
Seeing Liu Qiuwu fall silent, Qin Ji showed a relieved expression, then stood up, "Mr. Liu, I still have some things to deal with in the accounting office, so I'll take my leave first."
Liu Qiuwu came back to his senses, his eyes looking normal: "Okay...wait, how is Brother Li?"
Qin Ji resisted the urge to curl his lips, thinking that he wouldn't ask.
"He's fine. He's back. He injured his arm while fighting bandits. He must have had such an easy life that he couldn't even defeat a bunch of minions... Hehe, but he'll be fine after two days of rest."
There was a hint of disdain in Qin Ji's tone, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Qiuwu without blinking.
"Yeah." Liu Qiuwu sat up slightly, avoided Qin Ji's sight and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Seeing that he had no desire to say anything more, Qin Ji turned around and walked away lightly. As for his cousin, whether he could seize the opportunity depended on whether he knew how to grasp it.
After Qin Ji left, Liu Qiuwu sat in silence for a while before he stood up, walked to the window and opened it.
The lights outside were just coming on, the full moon was like a disk, the stars were dotted around, and the silver light was shining brightly, as if blending with the warm light.
Phew, the evening breeze is cool with the autumn flavor.
It stirs the man's flowing hair and stirs the man's heart which has been restless for a long time...
Time passes quietly and inadvertently.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Mr. and Mrs. Xia Mo were taken away by the officials, and now, no one pays attention to this matter, except for the stubborn Old Lady Liu.
However, the more she kept nagging about it, the less others cared about her. After all, there were not many people who dared to be so blatant and want to eat up their relatives and wipe out their families.
So after the news became public, people in Liujia Village kept their distance from the Liu family, for fear of accidentally offending them and getting into trouble.
Liu Dazhi felt bitter about this, but he tried to stop his old mother many times but to no avail. Old lady Liu showed her double-dealing to the fullest.
In the end, even Liu Baokun, who was deeply hurt by the love affair, could not stay any longer. He packed up his things before dawn and hurried to the academy to avoid being pointed at by others.
Compared to the low pressure in the Liu family, Xia Mo has achieved success in both love and career, and is living a fulfilling life.
That’s right, ever since Xia Mo took Liu Zheng’s daughter-in-law Xiao Liu to do something, their family’s view on malt sugar was completely overturned.
So when Mr. and Mrs. Xia told Liu Zheng that they wanted to buy land to build a sugar factory, Liu Zheng felt excited besides feeling old.
According to Xia Mofufu, they wanted to hire some villagers to work for them. As long as they were honest and hardworking, they could receive wages similar to those of working as waiters in the city.
This was undoubtedly a good opportunity to improve everyone's life, so how could Liu Zheng not agree? So when Xia Mo wanted the land, he took it without much hesitation and hurriedly went to get the land deed for them.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan did not waste time and immediately found someone to build houses and repair roads as soon as they got the land deeds. Their large-scale actions attracted the attention of many people in Liujia Village.
Although this road only connects the sugar factory and the village, it requires both building houses and repairing roads, which must be very expensive. Could it be that a wealthy family is going to move to their Liujia Village?
Thinking of this, some people became restless and finally couldn't help but quietly ran to ask Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng didn't want to reveal the young husband's secrets in advance, so he smiled and laughed with them.
Seeing this, the villagers who didn't get a satisfactory answer didn't dare to ask more questions, so they smiled and left.
So the days returned to being dull in the busyness, until one day at noon, when Liu Baolian walked to her door with wine and meat, but was stopped by an aunt from behind.
"Hey, isn't this Wang Mazi's house? Are you going to get some wine for your man again?"
Hearing the familiar loud voice, Liu Baolian frowned and turned around, "Aunt Guo, is there something wrong?"
"Oh, you even bought some meat. It's really different when you marry someone you like. You know how to treat your mother-in-law well."
The woman called Aunt Guo answered the question irrelevantly. Her eyes did not blink at all, almost glued to her hands, staring at the wine and meat in her hands with greed and envy.
Liu Baolian was displeased when she saw this, and at the same time, she inexplicably felt a little vain. But then she thought, the other party seemed to be talking about her mother coming again?
Again? Does her mother come here often? Liu Baolian suddenly pursed her lips.
Liu Baolian hated Li.
She thought that if it weren't for her, she would not have given up her long-cherished dream of becoming a phoenix, and would have been forced to marry a dead scoundrel who did nothing but eat and drink for free!
"You said my mother is here? When did she come?" Why didn't she tell her about it when she came so often? Liu Baolian frowned for a moment, but she suppressed her discomfort.
Aunt Guo replied with a smile: "Even after you went out, you came here all morning and brought a basket of things..."
When Aunt Guo thought about how she often smelled the meaty aroma from the Wang family, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She still hadn't eaten meat for a long time...
When Liu Baolian saw her reaction, she rolled her eyes silently in her heart, but nodded, thinking that her mother must have brought her some crops.
Thinking like this, Liu Baolian's resentful mood finally eased a little. She didn't want to talk any more with Aunt Guo, so she turned around and left with her things.
Oh, don't think she doesn't know that this person is typical of a person who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and who often makes up stories about his own faults in front of others.
