Chapter 1768: Love Really Does Make People Blind
The three of them walked downstairs and saw that Li Xingyan was already standing in the living room.
He met Xie Wanyi's gaze, gave him a scrutinizing look, and then withdrew his eyes.
Although Li Xingyan said nothing, Xie Wanyi discovered something from his expression.
Xie Wanyi did not hesitate and walked straight over.
Then he asked, "Although we aren't allies, we can at least be considered collaborators. Isn't it a bit underhanded to have new findings and not tell me?"
Xie Wanyi's attitude was somewhat aggressive.
But Li Xingyan was even more arrogant than him.
He raised an eyebrow and retorted, "You don't tell me everything either, right?"
"But aside from what I can't say, I have shared everything with you."
"What a coincidence, what I've discovered recently, I also can't share with you, but you can come and guess."
Li Xingyan said this just to make Xie Wanyi give up on asking.
But he didn't expect that Xie Wanyi would actually start guessing: "You found out about Li Shu's past, and his past is linked to the Li Family."
Li Xingyan revealed a playful smile; he didn't say whether Xie Wanyi guessed correctly or not, only saying, "Continue."
Xie Wanyi didn't intend to continue, but instead made an analysis: "This matter, it's impossible for you to be the only one who knows."
"So what if I am?"
"That's good then."
That's good then?
Xie Wanyi's words were incoherent.
Li Xingyan frowned as he listened.
Under his stare, Xie Wanyi turned and walked away.
Then, he walked up to Jiang Baobao and asked, "Auntie, I wonder if you are already aware of the matter regarding Li Shu?"
Li Xingyan was completely stunned!
He never expected that this bastard Xie Wanyi would be so shameless as to dare to ask his mother directly!!!
Jiang Baobao also didn't expect it; she was silent at first, then said with a gentle expression, "You want to know?"
"Yes, I can feel that Li Shu is hiding something from me, and I don't want to do the wrong thing while being completely in the dark."
"Since you are so direct, I will tell you the truth: I know Lao Li, and we have an old grudge. He is playing a game of chess, but his true purpose is still unknown."
Li Xingyan had already regained his composure.
He walked over in a few strides, his tone impatient: "Mom, why are you telling him all this?"
Before Jiang Baobao could respond, Xie Wanyi answered first: "Because I can help."
"You will help us? You were raised by Li Shu!"
Before today, Xie Wanyi would indeed have felt hesitant because of this.
But now...
Xie Wanyi wanted to know the truth even more!
He wanted to know who he really was!
Xie Wanyi lowered his eyes, his voice very faint.
But his attitude was firm: "No matter who raised me, wrong is wrong, and I will not shield anyone because of that."
"Hmph, so impartial and incorruptible, huh? Then Tiantian, you better be careful."
Jiang Motian had always felt like she was out of the loop.
At this moment, hearing her brother mention her, she asked back half a beat late: "Why do I have to be careful?"
"Maybe one day you'll make a mistake in his hands, and he won't even give you a chance to correct it, just dealing with you in an impartial and incorruptible way!"
Li Xingyan acted as if the situation were very serious.
But Jiang Motian was speechless listening to him.
She rolled her eyes and said with disdain: "You're so old, why are you still sowing discord? Even Momo wouldn't stoop to doing something like this."
Li Moning wouldn't have it.
She widened her eyes and said with dissatisfaction: "Why mention me? I've never done such childish things since I was little!"
"That's right, our Momo has been above such low-level interests since she was a child."
"That's for sure, what I like are all elegant things."
The two sisters sang in harmony, raising themselves up while belittling Li Xingyan.
How could Li Xingyan endure this?
He immediately retorted: "Is liking to read novels also elegant?"
Li Moning immediately raised her chin and protested: "Reading novels is also a means of relaxing the mind, why isn't it elegant?"
"There is a world of difference between different means."
"Anyway, in my opinion, all roads lead to the same destination!"
All roads lead to the same destination? This girl is just lying through her teeth!
But Li Xingyan couldn't be bothered to argue with Li Moning.
Because you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.
As for Jiang Motian, she fell silent while the two were trading barbs.
She suddenly thought of something: the matter that Mom, Dad, and her brother were discussing in the study that day was likely what Xie Wanyi had just mentioned.
Now Xie Wanyi also knew something.
And his unusual behavior was likely related to this matter.
Thinking of this, Jiang Motian took Xie Wanyi's arm and said, "I believe in you."
Xie Wanyi's state at this moment was somewhat dazed.
Hearing Jiang Motian's words, he reacted for a moment before he felt the goodwill Jiang Motian was radiating.
Then his heart slowly steadied, and he revealed a smile at her.
The way the two of them looked at each other was very sweet.
But Li Xingyan felt that it was poison wrapped in honey, a bad thing that made people sink into depravity.
He wanted to make Jiang Motian wake up and not be so obsessed.
But saying anything now would be useless, because in Jiang Motian's eyes, she could only see Xie Wanyi.
Li Xingyan couldn't stand it and looked away, then snorted, "Love really makes people blind!"
Jiang Baobao heard these words.
But she didn't want to cause any extra trouble, so she urged, "It's getting late, let's set off."
Xie Wanyi followed her lead and took Jiang Motian out first.
He had prepared a car himself today, so he invited Jiang Motian to ride with him.
Jiang Motian naturally agreed, and after Xie Wanyi helped open the car door, she carefully sat inside.
Xiaolin had already been waiting for a while, and seeing them both sit in, he asked, "Are we going to the banquet venue now?"
Xie Wanyi gave a soft "Mm."
From this response of Xie Wanyi's, Xiaolin sensed exhaustion.
He glanced at Xie Wanyi through the rearview mirror, then said nothing more, started the car, and headed toward the destination.
Jiang Motian could also feel Xie Wanyi's exhaustion, and she even asked carefully, "Is it my brother's words that are putting pressure on you? You don't need to take them to heart; he just likes to do things by the book, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to act according to his rules."
After hearing Jiang Motian's words, Xie Wanyi turned his head to look over, and then...
He rested his head on Jiang Motian's shoulder.
This action made Jiang Motian afraid to move.
To make Xie Wanyi lean more comfortably, she even straightened her back.
At the same time, she raised her small hand to wrap around Xie Wanyi and asked, "Do you feel any better?"
"It's alright."
It's alright?
That meant he didn't feel any better.
Jiang Motian wanted to help Xie Wanyi, but at this moment, she had no idea what she should do.
Xie Wanyi seemed to sense Jiang Motian's confusion, so he said, "I just want to lean for a while."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Motian hurriedly said, "I'm very generous, you can lean as much as you want!"
Who would have thought that this very generous sentence would cause Xiaolin in the front to let out a "pfft" of laughter.
