Chapter 454

"Big Brother, I don't know if Pan Xiaoying is a good person or not, but she clearly put in the effort to investigate Ning Pingping. You should still be careful in dealing with her in the future."

Li Ye finally said one more thing. After all, Wen Guohua had always treated him as one of his own, so he had to give him a reminder.

"Deal with her, my ass! We're not even close to being engaged yet, and she's already meddling so much? Is it any of her business?"

Li Ye: "..."

The Wen Guohua Li Ye knew, although he was somewhat ruffian-like on weekdays, was after all the power successor cultivated by the Wen family, so he was relatively "cultivated."

So when Wen Guohua exploded with profanity, Li Ye was surprised and realized that this brother-in-law wasn't a heartless person either.

At least Ning Pingping didn't have an insignificant status in Wen Guohua's heart.

And Pan Xiaoying asking Li Ye about Ning Pingping had truly provoked this "Big Guy Wen."

"Wait if you want to wait, hurry up, they won't wait for us if we miss the flight."

And Li Yue kept urging: "Be quick, I just called Hong Kong, our mother arrived yesterday. You're dawdling like this, don't you miss her at all?"

But the problem is, can he beat Li Ye?

And judging from the current situation, the two of them will still have a lot of tug-of-war in the future!

"Unless Teacher Ke speaks up, I won't interfere. Ning Pingping is also an advertising pillar supported by Fenghua Clothing; giving her up easily would be a significant loss."

Li Ye had to quickly put on his clothes, pick up the backpack containing the boarding documents, and was ready to go out in three minutes.

Li Ye wanted to comfort Li Yue a few words, but unexpectedly, it didn't matter if he didn't comfort her; once he did, she sobbed and cried.

"Alright, if Pan Xiaoying asks about Ning Pingping again in the future, just tell her to ask me."

Li Ye knew why Li Yue's eyes were red; this was the "distant bride syndrome."

Wen Guohua sneered and said: "Did she hint to you to notify Fenghua Clothing to terminate the advertising contract with Ning Pingping?"

Mentioning their mother Hearing Fu Guiru, Li Yue immediately became admiring. Obviously, she had already taken the strong woman Hearing Fu Guiru as her future standard.

Two minutes later, Li Yue stopped crying and whispered: "I'm fine, I just suddenly felt sad thinking about how our mother lived outside with Xiao Ru by herself for so many years... how did she manage to get through it..."

"Brother, you're right about that. How can a man let a woman manipulate him?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye couldn't help but think of Wen Leyu's worries during the day. She was very worried that Pan Xiaoying, this sister-in-law, would make her brother suffer in the future.

"Heh, that's true, she's a capable one."

"That's exactly what she meant," Wen Guohua said angrily: "Then what do you plan to do? Ning Pingping is currently in an advanced training class at the Beijing Film Academy. Should she prioritize her studies and stop filming advertisements?"

Li Ye was telling the truth. Although he indicated to Pan Xiaoying when they were on the phone that a man with a partner should keep other women at a respectful distance, Li Ye didn't have the heart to go out of his way to help Pan Xiaoying deal with Ning Pingping.

Even if Pan Xiaoying eventually became his sister-in-law, everyone would be equal. The person who really had a say in this family was still Teacher Ke, but Teacher Ke's attitude toward Li Ye wasn't one of casual ordering around; on the contrary, she was very considerate of Li Ye's psychological feelings.

Li Ye's heart sank, and he walked over and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you unhappy? Did you quarrel with Yang Yumin? Or are you angry with your mother-in-law?"

"How could our mother cry? You underestimate her too much. Someone as strong as our mother wouldn't even shed a tear if her head was beaten until it bled..."

"Isn't it only nine o'clock? What's the rush?"

Li Ye let his sister Li Yue into the room, and then he went to change his clothes.

Because he went to bed a bit late, Li Ye lingered in bed the next morning, and it was almost nine o'clock, yet he still hadn't escaped the gentle temptation of the god of the bed.

However, when he turned his head, he found that Li Yue's eyes were a bit red.

This year was the first Spring Festival after Hearing Fu Guiru, Li Yue, and Li Ye recognized each other, but due to special circumstances, they couldn't spend the New Year together.

Li Yue missed her mother very much. It just so happened that Li Ye had something to do in Hong Kong recently, so they agreed that the family would meet in Hong Kong after the New Year. Anyway, Li Ye had a house in Hong Kong, so it wasn't a trouble.

That father who made him angry at every turn, that grandmother who scolded people at every turn, that old-fashioned grandfather—at this moment, thinking about them, they were all so dear.

"In the future, when you miss home, drive back and stay for a few days. When you miss our mother, I'll reimburse your plane ticket... hey, hey, sister, don't cry..."

It's just that although that would be closer to family, life in the future would also be seen at a glance.

This is also why so many girls always cry easily every time they go home after getting married.

"I didn't think that way," Li Ye said truthfully, "I think family matters are family matters, and official business is official business. Even if she really becomes my sister-in-law in the future, it doesn't mean I have to listen to her just because she says something, right?"

Li Ye couldn't help but say: "I don't think we can fly to Hong Kong by ourselves! Our flight is at one o'clock in the afternoon. Do you want to go to the airport and wait there at this hour?"

Wen Guohua's tone changed immediately, and he spoke eloquently on the other end of the phone: "You can't spoil a woman, otherwise she will definitely push her luck, as if you owe her something..."

Li Yue scolded Li Ye again and sat on the chair waiting.

Seeing Li Ye's appearance, Li Yue scolded him very unhappily: "Xiao Ye, you haven't gotten up yet? What time is it?"

"I know, Big Brother, but I think she won't ask me again in the future."

And Li Yue now will definitely have a wonderful life.

"Hmph, she's passing a message to me through you! Look at how capable she is,"

The gate opened, and his sister Li Yue stood outside.

Li Ye said: "She didn't say it explicitly, but I feel there's a bit of that meaning. Of course, maybe I'm just guessing blindly; after all, I've never mixed in that circle."

Li Ye: "..."

Li Yue sniffed and said with some grievance: "It has nothing to do with them. I just suddenly felt uncomfortable. I can't see our father and grandmother on the second day of the New Year, and I have to take a plane just to see our mother. Why is a married daughter like spilled water so bitter?"

After all, Li Yue was used to a lively New Year with her family in her hometown in previous years. Now that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed, she must be very sentimental in her heart.

However, Li Ye just smiled faintly.

Because this year was the first year of her marriage to Yang Yumin, she returned to her hometown with Yang Huaihua and Yang Yumin to visit the ancestors' graves, and couldn't make it back to Qingshui County on the second day of the New Year.

Wanting to see her mother required a lot of trouble.

Li Ye thought for a moment and said: "Then you can ask when you get to Hong Kong, ask our mother if she has cried in these years..."

"Sister, this year is a special situation. In the future, you and Yang Yumin will definitely spend the New Year in Beijing, and it will be very easy to drive back to Qingshui on the second day of the New Year. Look at me, didn't I drive back in half a day this time?"

Actually, Li Yue's distant marriage was also Li Ye's fault. If it weren't for Li Ye's intervention, Li Yue would likely have found a family in Qingshui County and would never leave within a hundred miles for the rest of her life.

Li Ye stopped talking. How could a girl who married far away not have grievances in her heart?

"Big Brother, your words are truly watertight! First you say you can't spoil a woman, then you say if I treat Xiao Yu badly, you'll beat me to death? This double standard is too obvious, isn't it?"

Alright then, Wen Guohua really treats himself as a brother-in-law. He definitely wouldn't be happy if his sister was wronged.

After venting some anger, Wen Guohua asked Li Ye again: "Then did she only ask if you knew Ning Pingping? Did she ask anything else?"

But a burst of "bang bang bang~" knocking on the door forced him to climb up, put on his thermal underwear and a coat, and hurry out to open the door.

After getting married, the relatives who cherished and loved her moved far away, and they have to bear all the bitterness and sweetness of life themselves.

However, after boasting about male chauvinism, Wen Guohua suddenly changed the subject and said naturally: "But if a woman is reasonable, like Xiao Yu, then as a man, you can't lose your temper. If you are half-hearted, you will definitely get beaten..."

And when a girl feels more and more wronged, the best thing is to wait for her to cry. After crying, her grievances can be eliminated by more than half.

Wen Guohua talked on and on, making Li Ye feel as if he had returned to the days of drinking and bragging with his best friends in his previous life.

Awesome outside, home and... thud.

Li Ye replied: "She didn't ask anything else, but I said I wasn't familiar with Ning Pingping. She clearly didn't believe me, even finding out that I was the scriptwriter for Fenghua advertisements and that Ning Pingping played a supporting role in 'Beacon Fugitive'."

Even the most powerful woman is still a woman. She won't cry?

That must be because you haven't seen it.
