Chapter 1934: Caught Eavesdropping

Unfortunately, Li Xingyan is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business.

He opened his mouth and refused in a flat tone: "That counts as your family business; it wouldn't be appropriate for me to intervene."

After saying this, Li Xingyan turned to leave.

Sun Fuqing grew anxious and hurriedly stopped him.

He wanted to speak, but before he could say a single word, he began to cough, coughing until his complexion changed.

Li Xingyan could see that Sun Fuqing was not in good health.

Since the other party was an elder after all, Li Xingyan asked with concern: "Would you like to go get a check-up, Uncle?"

"It's nothing to worry about."

Sun Fuqing took a deep breath, barely managing to speak.

Then he seized the opportunity to say what was on his mind: "I have tried to persuade that girl, but it's no use! I also know that it was presumptuous of me to ask you to step in. But this is the only way I have to put an end to that girl's delusional fantasies..."

As Sun Fuqing said these words, a look of desolation could not help but appear on his face.

In fact, Sun Fuqing is younger than Li Beijue.

But at this moment, Li Xingyan saw signs of aging on his face.

Thinking about it again, he had, after all, followed Li Beijue and rendered distinguished service...

Li Xingyan ultimately felt a sense of compassion and relented: "Alright."

Upon receiving this answer, Sun Fuqing's expression relaxed.

As a result, he coughed even more violently.

Li Xingyan helped pat his back and frowned: "When you have time, you really should go get a check-up."

"Fine, I'll keep that in mind. Then when will you meet with Qingqing?"

What Sun Fuqing was concerned about at this moment was entirely the matter regarding Sun Qing.

Li Xingyan's advice?

He would likely forget it the moment he agreed to it.

Li Xingyan's brow could not help but furrow tighter: "Let's make it this Sunday; I have some time in the afternoon."

"I'll tell that girl later!"

"But I must remind you, I speak very directly and don't beat around the bush. If Sun Qing gets hurt, don't blame me."

"I understand, just go ahead and do it. That girl really needs to wake up."

Since Sun Fuqing had said as much, Li Xingyan had even less to worry about.

It was just that...

Li Xingyan looked at Sun Fuqing's complexion, and a trace of worry could not help but surface in his heart.

And his head began to ache a little more.

Li Xingyan planned to take a shower first after getting home, then look at his documents.

But when Li Xingyan returned home, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Jiang Motian laughing.

Her laughter was crisp and pleasant.

Listening to it, Li Xingyan actually felt his headache ease a little.

From Jiang Motian's laughter, one could tell she was in a very good mood.

As for why she was in a good mood...

Jiang Motian was video chatting with a friend.

On the other side of the phone, Wei Yangyang was showing off the latest trick Jin Dou had learned.

After watching, Jiang Motian couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect Jin Dou to be so nimble despite being chubby. Next time I go to your place, I want to bring it to play with those rings."

"No problem, I've also taught it new tricks. By the time you come, Jin Dou might have already learned them."

"Hey, Jin Dou is quite smart."

Jiang Motian sighed with emotion, but her peripheral vision caught Li Xingyan sitting down.

Opposite Li Xingyan was the television, and he picked up the remote control and pressed it repeatedly.

But the television showed no reaction at all.

Jiang Motian then reminded him: "Brother, stop pressing it; the television remote is broken."

This reminder exposed Li Xingyan, who had intended to listen in silently.

He felt a bit awkward.

While putting down the remote, he asked with a touch of irritability: "Why hasn't anyone been asked to fix it?"

"Because no one watches it anyway."

"There are still people who want to watch it!"

"Oh, then I'll tell the housekeeper in a moment."

"No need, I'll go tell them."

Li Xingyan stood up and raised a hand to loosen his tie.

While these siblings were communicating, Wei Yangyang on the other end of the call was as quiet as a quail.

She didn't speak, nor did she move.

The screen had even frozen.

Jiang Motian shook her phone and asked: "Yangyang, is the internet bad on your end? Can you hear me?"

"Ah, yes. Um... has your brother left?"

"No."

He hasn't left yet!?

Wei Yangyang continued to play the quail.

But she heard a cold snort.

The person who snorted also said irritably, "What, am I in the way of you two chatting here?"

"No, no, how could that be?"

While responding, Wei Yangyang felt annoyed at herself for not being able to keep her composure.

At the same time, she also didn't understand why Li Xingyan was still nearby.

But after all, it was Li Xingyan's home, and Wei Yangyang had no right to question it.

She could only find a random excuse: "Um, I need to take my medicine, let's stop chatting for now, bye-bye."

Wei Yangyang waved her hand and ended the call.

She ended it so abruptly that Jiang Motian didn't even have time to say goodbye to her.

And such haste...

Was all because of Li Xingyan.

Jiang Motian looked helplessly at Li Xingyan, who hadn't left yet: "Look at you, did you scare Yangyang?"

Li Xingyan's tone was stiff: "Even if I didn't scare her, she would be like this when she sees me!"

"Why? Hasn't the relationship between you two eased up? Did something happen again?"

To tell the truth, something really did happen.

It was just...

Li Xingyan really couldn't bring himself to say it.

He could only vaguely reply: "Nothing."

Li Xingyan's awkward expression didn't look like nothing was wrong.

Yet before Jiang Motian could inquire further, he lifted his feet to go upstairs and returned to his room.

Really, he slipped away so fast once he wasn't chatting with Wei Yangyang!

Jiang Motian complained silently.

But immediately, she thought of a small episode:

Xiaolin had said that when he was tailing Sun Qing, he discovered she had once followed Li Xingyan and Wei Yangyang.

Those two were picking out gifts at the time.

As for the specific details, Xiaolin didn't say, and Jiang Motian didn't ask.

Now it seems...

Jiang Motian's eyes turned, she took her phone and returned to her room, then called Xiaolin.

On the phone, Jiang Motian asked Xiaolin to explain in detail the situation he saw.

Xiaolin scratched his head and said, "My focus was entirely on Sun Qing; I only glanced at Mr. Li and Ms. Wei in passing."

"Then tell me about what you saw in passing."

"Hmm... the two's itinerary was very simple; they went to a gift shop, and after coming out of the gift shop, they walked to a parking lot quite a distance away."

"Quite a distance away?"

"Yes, there was a parking lot right behind the gift shop, but they walked two streets over to another one; I don't know why."

Jiang Motian understood.

It must have been Li Xingyan creating an opportunity to spend time together.

Sigh, her straight-man brother could actually be quite thoughtful sometimes.

It's just that such situations were too few and far between.

Otherwise, he would have already succeeded in his pursuit of love.

Jiang Motian sighed silently, then returned to the main topic: "During this period, did anything special happen?"

"Actually, yes, they helped a little boy find his parents."

Yo, they did a good deed in passing.

Jiang Motian nodded and then said: "Anything else?"

Jiang Baobao stared at the screen, her heart sinking as she realized the evidence had been wiped clean.
