Chapter 180: Do You Know Whose Love You’re Rejecting

Chapter 180

When did this thought first appear? Was it when the long-awaited engagement dress was splashed with orange juice? Or when she saw her future husband protecting another woman? Or perhaps when she saw him cowering, trying to escape paying eight million?

Shi Li looked up in surprise and saw her smile. "But since we've come this far, let's proceed with the engagement party first. We don't need to rush into marriage." The Bo Family's shell companies weren't worth much anyway.

Lu Lanshan handed the check to Shi Li, "Keep this check safe. Tomorrow I'll take you to the bank to withdraw the money, and I'll give you half."

Shi Li's eyes lit up, but she hesitated, "Sis, is that really okay? After all, it's money Mr. Bo gave you."

Lu Lanshan couldn't resist pinching Shi Li's cheek, "You opportunistic little brat, you change your tune so quickly. When you were tricking money out of him, you called him brother-in-law, but now that you've got the money, it's 'Mr. Bo'."

Shi Li giggled sheepishly, "But no matter what, you're my only sister."

Lu Lanshan laughed, "This is money you earned with your own abilities. Keep it. This dress set cost less than three million, and you've helped me earn a few hundred thousand more."

Shi Li gave a mock salute, "Yes, ma'am! Since you insist on giving it to me, I'll humbly accept. In the future, if you have any more opportunities like this, be sure to call me."

Making money was so easy: four million in one hour.

This was her first pot of gold in this life.

Very good, excellent.

At her current money-making speed, she was outpacing both her father and her uncle.

She just hoped that Mrs. Wen would continue to act foolishly, and that Mr. Bo's generous nature and his secret stash could hold out.

Shi Li carefully placed the check in her bag, avoiding any creases.

Since she no longer wanted to marry Bo Yiyang, the type of dress she wore didn't matter anymore.

Lu Lanshan casually pointed to a dress that hadn't been tried on yet among the stylist's selection. This starry blue gown was quite extravagant, a runway piece from a major brand.

Lu Lanshan loved it and immediately decided to keep it.

This dress, which looked so glamorous on the runway, paled in comparison to the orange juice-stained gown.

The stylist was heartbroken, "That dress was such a waste. This one is beautiful too, but compared to that one, there's no comparison."

Shi Li shrugged, "Money doesn't lie."

Lu Lanshan, who was changing into the dress, laughed at Shi Li's words. "By the way, since Bo Yiyang paid for the dress, after we cash the check, let's give this dress to him. We shouldn't take advantage of him. Since he said the dress could still be worn after washing, let him wash it clean and wear it himself."

Shi Li thought: [You really know how to get under people's skin]

After helping Lu Lanshan change into the dress, Shi Li's job was done.

Bo Yiyang and Lu Lanshan, the soon-to-be-married couple, emerged arm in arm under the guidance of Lu Lanshan's parents to greet the guests.

Having earned a large sum of money, Shi Li was in a good mood. As she left the makeup room, she saw several of her classmates standing at the door.

"You're all here. Why are you standing here?"

These were the cream of the crop among her classmates, the victorious ones who had followed Shi Li's inner voice all the way here.

The further they walked, the more lost they became.

When Xu Yiran realized something was wrong, the situation had already become quite serious.

Of course, what was even more serious was that, as siblings, they shared some common traits.

For instance, they were both directionally challenged, and they both cared about saving face in front of family members.

The sister didn't want to lose face in front of her brother, and the brother felt the same way. So they both stubbornly persisted, neither willing to ask the staff for directions first.

Shi Li's phone call broke their stubborn silence.

The people on the other end of the line fell silent, especially Madam Xu who had just been worried about her children being kidnapped.

Shi Li's tone remained calm, "Alright, I'll wait for you in the living room."

Ten minutes later, they finally saw the silhouettes of the siblings.

For the sake of their dignity, the three temporarily forgot about the siblings getting lost in the villa.

Song Ying pulled Shi Li's hand to one side and asked where she had been earlier.

Shi Li only said she was helping the bride-to-be with makeup, not mentioning anything else that happened in the makeup room.

Song Ying vaguely heard a few of Shi Li's inner thoughts. She said she was in the makeup room, so does that mean the groom-to-be is a scumbag?

As she was pondering this, she turned her head and saw Li Yuqing's sister. Li Yuwei was accompanied by a young man who was attentively and carefully supporting her hand.

Judging from Li Yuwei's blissful expression, this man was clearly the father of her child.

"Sister, I see Li Yuqing. I'm going to say hello to her."

Song Ying ran off like the wind. She pulled Li Yuqing to a corner,

"You know your brother-in-law has mental issues, how could you let him come to an event like this? Shouldn't you be gradually cutting ties between him and your sister?"

Li Yuqing smiled at the crowd, as if discussing trivial matters with Song Ying, "Gradually cutting ties also requires a process. To prevent him from harming my sister, our family needs to keep him calm for now."

The other details weren't convenient for outsiders to know.

Song Ying nodded, seeming to understand but not quite.

As soon as Song Ying left, Shi Li immediately spotted that familiar man.

This man had escaped after murdering Li Yuqing's family of four, and was listed as a wanted criminal throughout the city. His photo was circulated in newspapers and online for capture, while also warning citizens to be cautious.

Therefore, Shi Li was very familiar with this face.

Looking at the man whose smile could not conceal the shadows on his face, Shi Li heard Uncle Lu introducing his future son-in-law to friends, and an idea formed in her mind.

[Since Mr. Bo is so fond of sending people to mental hospitals, why not let him experience the love from a mental patient himself]
