Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Zhang Sheng explained:

"Pretending to agree to remarry Liu Mei Qi isn't a solution either; it would only give Liu Mei Qi more reason to keep entangling things, and that's no good for either you or Wang Erhai."

Yao Xueqin, however, was somewhat emotional:

"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear any explanations. Since Wang Erhai has already made his choice, then so be it. I can't change anything either."

There was a moment when Yao Xueqin had thought about spending a lifetime properly with Wang Erhai.

But Wang Erhai's choice in this matter chilled her heart. She felt she still needed to love herself a bit more. Some things can be amicable on the surface, but in her heart she absolutely must not be muddle-headed; she must calculate everything clearly. Otherwise, in the end, the one who suffers a loss will definitely be herself.

Ultimately, both sides failed to reach a settlement agreement.

The police penalized Yao Xueqin and Liu Mei Qi each with three days of detention and a fine of five hundred yuan.

Wang Erhai returned from the police station, utterly exhausted in body and mind.

He barely worked at all the entire day today.

A lot of matters needing handling were left undone.

So he had no choice but to stay up all night working overtime to deal with them.

Already tired, and then having to work overtime — that made him even more tired.

And right at that moment, his mobile phone rang.

It was surprisingly Wang Xiaohua calling.

"Hello, what's up?"

Wang Xiaohua's voice came from the other end of the line:

"Second Brother, I heard Liu Mei Qi caused a scene at your company. Are you okay?"

Wang Erhai forced a smile:

"I'm doing just great. Liu Mei Qi got detained — she totally deserves it!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He still clearly remembered the scenes of his second brother and Liu Mei Qi being affectionate.

Who would have thought that in just the blink of an eye, the two would go from lovers to enemies.

So-called loving and killing each other — nothing more than this.

"Second Brother, do you need me to help?"

Wang Xiaohua took the initiative to offer this, and also said:

"If there's anything you need help with, just tell me."

But Wang Erhai said:

"No need, no need. I can handle it myself. If I can't even handle a mere Liu Mei Qi, what business would I still be doing?"

Wang Xiaohua spoke again:

"That... I know I shouldn't say this, but I still have to say one sentence. You need to be on guard against your current girlfriend; don't let her sweet talk deceive you."

"Got it, got it. I have my own sense of proportion." Wang Erhai was somewhat impatient.

Yet Wang Xiaohua continued:

"The book says, to judge a person, don't look at what they say, look at what they do. I don't know your current girlfriend's character too well, but just from the fact that she bought Liu Mei Qi's house, I find it a bit chilling upon deeper thought..."

"Have you gone back to your hometown?"

Wang Erhai suddenly changed the subject.

It was very obvious he didn't want to continue chatting about this topic.

He felt Yao Xueqin was pretty good, so he didn't want to hear others disparage Yao Xueqin.

After all, he had only found a woman who loved him this much with great difficulty.

"Not yet."

Wang Xiaohua secretly sighed, and could only stop discussing Yao Xueqin further.

Actually, he also knew that saying too much of this might even affect the bond between brothers.

But he also couldn't bear to watch his own second brother walk step by step into the abyss.

"Then when do you plan to go back to your hometown?"

Wang Erhai asked.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow I have to go to No. 1 High School to attend a lecture; after the lecture, I'll go back."

Wang Erhai asked again:

"Bringing your girlfriend back?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Depends on her own wishes. If she wants to go back with me, we'll go back together. If she doesn't want to go back with me, I won't force it either."

Wang Erhai nodded:

"Your girlfriend is a good person. You two must get along well. If there are any conflicts, don't lightly quarrel; communicate properly. Quarreling greatly affects one's life feng shui."

When Wang Erhai spoke these words, his inner heart couldn't help but go into a trance, suddenly recalling the words Liu Shanshui had once admonished him and Liu Mei Qi with.

Liu Shanshui had also once warned him and Liu Mei Qi not to quarrel lightly, to communicate properly.

The current scene and the scene back then — how strikingly similar they are.

And he, Wang Erhai, seems destined to become a second Liu Shanshui.

Fortunately, he has already divorced Liu Mei Qi.

He will not end up like Liu Shanshui, his life ruined by a terrible marriage.

"Got it, Second Brother. Jianjia and I are doing great — we've never even had a fight."

Wang Xiaohua answered like this.

Wang Erhai nodded:

"Good, good... if there's nothing else, I'll leave it at that. I still have some work to deal with."

"Okay then, goodbye."

Wang Xiaohua hung up the phone and couldn't help letting out a long breath of stale air.

He was quite worried about his Second Brother.

The incident of Liu Mei Qi causing a scene at Shanhai Real Estate — he didn't hear it from others; it was when Li Jianjia was scrolling Weibo that she happened to come across it in the local content feed.

The matter blew up quite big; there were quite a few people commenting and reposting online.

He knew his Second Brother had definitely borne no small amount of pressure.

Yet in front of him, he still pretended to be relaxed and unconcerned.

He really wanted to help his Second Brother relieve his worries and solve his problems, only his Second Brother didn't want him meddling in this affair.

"Your Second Brother doesn't want your help, so don't force it. If you say too much, he might just get annoyed with you, and it could affect the bond between you brothers."

Li Jianjia, at his side, said this to Wang Xiaohua at that moment.

She had seen everything with her own eyes.

She also felt Yao Xueqin was no good.

But matters of the heart — even between brothers — you can't interfere and manage.

Otherwise it's very easy to damage the brotherly bond.

"I'm just really worried about him."

Wang Xiaohua let out a sigh.

Li Jianjia, however, said:

"You don't need to worry that much. Even if he gets swindled clean, don't you and your Big Brother still have his back? Love — everyone refuses to turn back until they hit a wall. Me and you are the same, aren't we? You don't know — my mother opposed us fiercely at first. If I'd listened to advice, we wouldn't be together now."

Wang Xiaohua could only smile:

"What you say has some truth to it. Alright then, I'll stop thinking about all this."

Li Jianjia then said:

"Right, don't bother with those what-ifs. You'd better hurry up and think about tomorrow's speech content — just afraid that tomorrow, facing so many juniors and so many leaders, you'll get so nervous your mind goes blank and you can't say a thing."

Wang Xiaohua said with a smile:

"Relax, won't happen. I joined the Debate Society at school and have debated on stage several times — my mental resilience is much stronger than before. But you're right too — I should write a speech draft in advance to make absolutely sure nothing goes wrong."

Li Jianjia then said:

"Then start writing now. What do you want to say to those juniors of yours?"

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment:

"Aside from some clichés like 'study hard and make progress every day,' there doesn't seem to be anything else worth saying."

Li Jianjia then said:

"Actually, what you say to those juniors isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that you figure out what to say to those leaders."

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Great minds think alike. This kind of recruitment talk — rather than saying it's done for the students, it's more accurate to say it's done for the leaders."

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Tomorrow you come attend with me. With you by my side, I'll feel more at ease."

Li Jianjia said with a smile:

"Sure, then I'll be your little assistant."
