"Sister Liu?"
"Yeah. Sister Liu had been working as a domestic helper in our family at that time. After you were conceived, she served Mom every step of the way. She knew everything about Mom."
"Oh, right!"
Li Qiyu slapped her forehead.
How stupid!
Why did she go the long - way round and forget about Sister Liu?
After realizing that Sister Liu was an insider, the elder brother in front of her suddenly lost his appeal. Li Qiyu asked, "Brother, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave first."
She didn't even have the mood to keep an eye on the project now. All she wanted was to go home and find Sister Liu.
Li Yuanhua, who had completely become a tool: "..."
Knowing that Li Qiyu had no intention of entertaining him at the moment and having achieved his goal after seeing Ming Yuezhu, Li Yuanhua got up and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, there were three knocks on the door at this moment.
When Li Qiyu and Li Yuanhua entered the room just now, they didn't close the door. It was ajar, so it was easily pushed open.
The moment the door was pushed open, both pairs of people inside and outside the room felt embarrassed.
The only one who was out of the loop might be Lu Xingqi, who accompanied the heroine Ming Yuezhu. He didn't know Li Yuanhua yet. He just felt that as soon as the door was pushed open, everyone suddenly stopped talking, which made him dare not speak either.
Li Qiyu was the first to react and quickly smoothed things over: "My brother came to talk to me about business."
It was an explanation for Li Yuanhua's visit - but obviously Ming Yuezhu didn't buy it.
Li Yuanhua stared at Li Qiyu and whispered, "Didn't you say you didn't invite her?"
Li Qiyu was really wronged this time.
"I don't know either..." She had just pretended to make a phone call, and the call hadn't gone through. Could it be that Li Juan was so powerful that she could sense her thoughts now?
But now that the situation was like this, Li Qiyu whispered quietly, "Anyway, since she's here, it's good to meet."
Li Yuanhua suddenly had a bad premonition. Soon, his premonition came true. Li Qiyu greeted Ming Yuezhu with a smile and then said, "You two talk first. I have something to talk to Lu Xingqi about."
Saying that, regardless of Li Yuanhua's helpless and pleading look, Li Qiyu walked up to Lu Xingqi.
Lu Xingqi didn't understand what was going on yet, but the meaning in Li Qiyu's eyes was obvious. He could only obediently follow Li Qiyu and leave.
In the room, only Li Yuanhua and Ming Yuezhu were left. Ming Yuezhu didn't let Li Qiyu down. She walked into the room and顺手 closed the door.
Now it was Li Yuanhua's turn to feel nervous. His legs were trembling. It wasn't fear but nervousness, a bit like a shy student meeting his crush, afraid that the crush wouldn't like him.
"Are... are you okay?" Li Yuanhua's tone was rather pitiful.
"Sure. How could I not be okay? After all, this is Li's Film Industry, and I'm working under Xiaoyu. She certainly takes good care of me."
Ming Yuezhu walked to the seat where Li Qiyu had just sat. Different from Li Yuanhua, her tone was relaxed and natural, as if she and Li Yuanhua were just old friends meeting again. After she sat down, she didn't forget to gesture for Li Yuanhua to sit. During this process, she glanced out of the window. From this angle, she could just see the palace where she lived. She smiled and understood everything.
Li Yuanhua felt extremely embarrassed in front of her, as if he had nowhere to hide. But he was reluctant to leave. Such a face - to - face meeting was so rare. He could only sit down awkwardly in front of Ming Yuezhu.
"I'm glad you're okay." Li Yuanhua nervously rubbed his hands. The man who could talk eloquently at the staff meeting couldn't even find a topic in front of her.
Ming Yuezhu didn't beat around the bush. She asked, "Did you come to see me?"
Li Yuanhua instinctively wanted to shake his head, but then he remembered that after they got married, Ming Yuezhu had told him that she didn't like lying men, so he quickly nodded.
"Yeah." He was like a student being questioned by the class teacher, with a very sincere attitude.
"Then if you want to see me in the future, just call me. Xiaoyu and Xiaoan are very busy. There's no need to trouble them."
Hearing this, Li Yuanhua was both surprised and happy. He looked up at Ming Yuezhu, his eyes twinkling with cautious excitement.
"Can... can I?"
"Sure." Ming Yuezhu had always been very generous and straightforward: "It's not you that I dislike."
Li Yuanhua understood the implication of Ming Yuezhu's words.
What she disliked was the Li family and the environment of the Li family.
In fact, he didn't like it either. Especially today, under Li Qiyu's questioning, he remembered those past events that he had deliberately put in a corner and never mentioned.
The family seemed warm and harmonious on the surface, but in fact, it was in a complete mess inside.
Such a Li family really didn't deserve Ming Yuezhu.
The calm atmosphere between Li Yuanhua and Ming Yuezhu really surprised Li Qiyu. She had thought that when these two former lovers met, they would at least hold hands and look at each other tearfully, unable to say a word.
It was Lu Xingqi, who had been out of the loop, who followed Li Qiyu step by step and asked, "Was that really your elder brother just now? What's the relationship between him and Ming Yuezhu? You deliberately left them behind. There must be something going on, right?"
Hearing this, Li Qiyu just found it funny. If Lu Xingqi was stupid, he had guessed that she had deliberately taken him away to make room for Li Yuanhua and Ming Yuezhu. But if he wasn't stupid, she had never avoided calling Ming Yuezhu "sister - in - law" in front of anyone, yet Lu Xingqi couldn't tell what the relationship was between her elder brother and sister - in - law.
Annoyed by the question, Li Qiyu finally reminded helplessly, "He's my elder brother, and Ming Yuezhu is my sister - in - law. What do you think the relationship is?"
"Oh!" Lu Xingqi dragged out the ending sound. He really just realized this. Then he sighed, "They're really a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. But I don't remember Ming Yuezhu mentioning it. I thought she was single."
"What? Are you interested in my sister - in - law? It's not impossible for you to chase her. After all, she is really single now."
Lu Xingqi waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, but when he heard Li Qiyu's words "she is really single now", he couldn't help exclaiming in surprise: "Ah?"
"She and my elder brother are divorced."
"Why!" Lu Xingqi's tone was full of regret. It seemed that he really thought highly of this couple.
"I don't know. Maybe they just fell out of love."
"Don't lie to me. The way they look at each other doesn't seem like they're out of love."
"Yeah." Li Qiyu thought about her future state with Song Yian. It would probably be no better than that of her elder brother and Ming Yuezhu. She sighed, "It's hard to say anything about marriage."
