Chapter 1825: Don't Learn from Negative Examples

Hearing this result, Jiang Baobao was stunned.

Meanwhile, the silent Li Xingyan relaxed his brows and eyes.

He even picked up a magazine at random and flipped through it out of boredom.

Once Jiang Baobao came back to her senses, she asked with a look of surprise, "Why is that? Is it because their personalities aren't compatible?"

"It's because Deng Yunhai's character is no good!"

"This... when we chatted before, didn't he seem quite fine?"

"That was before. Now that something has happened, I've seen the true colors of that person. Anyway... Yangyang can be considered to have cut her losses in time!"

"I see. Sigh, then next time I see Madam Deng, I'll let her look for other young ladies."

Jiang Baobao's tone was very gentle.

But Jiang Motian felt this wasn't forceful enough.

So she reminded her from the side, "You should hint to the other party that they ought to go back and properly discipline their son!"

"Some things aren't as easy to do as one might wish; one might also be powerless to help."

As Jiang Baobao said this, she also gave a meaningful look at Li Xingyan, who was sitting over there.

This wave of hints was very obvious.

But once the person involved played dumb, no amount of hinting would be of any use.

Jiang Baobao could only sigh to herself.

Li Beijue knew what his wife meant.

But on this matter, he was on Li Xingyan's side.

He spoke up for him immediately: "Our son is just too passionate about his work; there's nothing wrong with his character."

Jiang Motian also said, "Exactly, my brother wouldn't use a girl as a test subject just to test a dating app."

"That's right, that's right, your brother only develops the Anti-Fraud Dating APP to make young girls a bit more vigilant!"

Jiang Motian nodded along.

Then she realized something.

She widened her eyes and looked at her father: "You mean... that Anti-Fraud Dating APP was developed by my brother?"

"It is..."

"Dad, didn't we agree not to mention that!"

Li Xingyan interrupted his father, his expression carrying a hint of annoyance.

But Li Beijue didn't think it was a big deal and said nonchalantly, "Oh, what's the harm in chatting about it in front of our own family."

It was precisely because it was family that Li Xingyan didn't want to talk about it!

Li Xingyan even felt a suspicious gaze cast from Jiang Motian's direction!

This made Li Xingyan even more annoyed, and he muttered, "If I had known, I wouldn't have borrowed people from you."

For that project back then, because time was tight and the task was heavy, Li Xingyan had struggled to complete it.

So, he had asked Li Beijue to borrow some manpower.

It had originally been agreed upon not to publicize it.

As a result...

Dad really doesn't keep his word!

Li Xingyan silently complained about his father.

And his peripheral vision could still feel Jiang Motian's gaze.

Li Xingyan really didn't like being stared at like that.

In order to make Jiang Motian look away, Li Xingyan decided to stare back fiercely!

To suppress Jiang Motian with his presence!

But who was Jiang Motian?

Having fought wits and courage with Li Xingyan for so many years, how could she easily back down!

Seeing her brother's gaze as sharp as a cold wind, she curled her lips into a smile.

Then, she took the initiative to compliment Li Xingyan: "Brother is too outstanding; it's no wonder you could influence Yangyang without a sound."

Clearly, this was a compliment that didn't come from the heart.

However... Li Xingyan took it to heart.

He even retracted his thorns and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Her? She now especially agrees with your words, feeling that young people should focus on their careers and talk less about love and romance."

"She really thinks that?"

Jiang Motian nodded quickly, her attitude sincere: "Yangyang has been working overtime a lot lately; she's very busy and even has to participate in some competition."

"Hmph, she knows what's good for her."

The tone of Li Xingyan's voice was clearly a bit softer.

But his choice of words was too impolite.

Jiang Baobao frowned and scolded, "How can you talk about a young lady like that? Mind your manners!"

After speaking, she urged Jiang Motian: "It's a good thing for young people to work hard on their careers, but you can't just focus on work. You, remind Yangyang a bit."

"Mm, I will."

"Your brother is a negative example; when necessary, you can use him as an illustration."

Jiang Motian glanced at the "negative example," pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing.

Li Xingyan, however, couldn't hold back and asked, "What's wrong with being like me? Young people should have some ambition!"

"Having ambition is right, but can you spare half of that ambition to settle down?"

"Does settling down require sparing half one's heart? Isn't that something that happens naturally when the time comes?"

Jiang Baobao was so angry she laughed.

She questioned him: "Do you think a wife just pops out of a crack in a rock? It requires searching, interacting, and building a relationship!"

"What a hassle."

"You just haven't met someone you like yet; if you ever do, you won't think that way."

After saying this, Jiang Baobao contradicted herself: "With your foul temper, how could you ever meet someone who likes you!"

Having said that, she warned Li Xingyan: "You, don't go influencing Yangyang with your twisted logic in the future. If Yangyang also becomes a 'difficult case,' I'll trade you to them as compensation!"

Li Beijue said with a chuckle: "I think that works; it would solve two people's marriage problems at once."

The words of Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue were just a joke.

They said it and let it go, not taking it to heart.

But Li Xingyan...

He righteously refused: "I don't agree!"

This refusal drew the gaze of his family.

After a moment of silence, everyone burst into laughter.

Li Beijue even said: "Silly boy, we were just talking casually; how could we let you go and ruin Yangyang!"

"Exactly, would the two families stop visiting each other after that?"

"Come to think of it, if we see someone we don't like, we could send our son to marry into their family."

"Don't talk nonsense, what if our son takes it seriously again!"

"Sigh, our son is silly sometimes."

Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao started their roasting mode.

Hearing this made Li Xingyan's temples throb.

And just as he couldn't take it anymore and was about to protest, he suddenly heard a cell phone ring.

It was Jiang Motian's phone ringing.

She answered the call, chatted briefly, and then said to Jiang Baobao: "Wanyi and I are going out tonight, so we won't be back."

In an instant, the expressions of the family members became profound and mysterious.

It took a beat for Jiang Motian to realize that her family had misunderstood.

She quickly explained: "There's a meteor shower tonight, and Wanyi and I have planned to go outdoors to watch it!"

Staying up all night just to watch meteors?

Li Xingyan thought this behavior was very boring.

But Li Beijue became interested.

He even took the initiative to ask: "That's romantic; are there any spots left? I'll take your mother to see it too."

"There are spots, but the meteors will streak across the sky in the second half of the night."

Jiang Baobao shook her head as soon as she heard that: "Then I can't stay up for that."

Sigh, she really was getting old.

If she were even ten years younger, Jiang Baobao would definitely have gone to join the fun.

Li Beijue saw that Jiang Baobao was feeling sentimental.

To make up for his wife's regret, Li Beijue promised: "We can buy a starry sky projector and watch the meteors in our room!"
