Guan Zhengyuan straightened his body and said: "Alright, since both Young Master Lu and I want to hear it, then I, this old man, will tell you about the old story today."
"I was going to give her a romantic proposal that summer, so I prepared a lot of candles and balloons."
"And I was sitting in the office waiting happily for your mother."
Guan Zhengyuan's expression became dejected after being questioned, it seemed like his proposal had failed?
"Don't you want to marry Dad?" Guan Youyou was a little confused.
Guan Zhengyuan shook his head and said: "No, your mother did not see those candles."
With a face filled with questions, Guan Zhengyuan paused for a moment before continuing.
"Somehow, there was a gust of wind. I was anxiously waiting in the room when I saw a hydrogen balloon being blown onto a candle, and then there was an explosion. The series of explosions immediately turned into an uncontrollable fire."
"So, Uncle Chen saved you?" Guan Youyou immediately thought of the outcome.
Guan Zhengyuan nodded his head, "That's right, he rushed in recklessly to save me, and he himself was injured. If not for him, you wouldn't have been able to leave the house, and might have lost your life."
"Then is Uncle Chen seriously injured?"
"He... "One of his eyes was burned and he could no longer see it. His skin was also burned in many places."
Guan Youyou gasped, she now understood everything. She understood why her father trusted Uncle Chen so much, and understood why he left the Li City.
"But …" Suddenly, Guan Youyou seemed to have discovered something amiss, "Father, after going through such a huge fire, how come you are not injured?" Guan Youyou looked around at Guan Zhengyuan. Indeed, no matter how hard she looked, her body did not have any signs of being burned.
"At that time, Tian Yi used his own body to protect my head and upper body, so I didn't have any obvious injuries, but it's precisely because of this that he was injured, and that he had his eyes burnt. At that time, I actually hid in his embrace like a woman, that was the most useless, and also the most regretful thing in my life."
Guan Youyou did not ask further. It seemed that this Uncle Chen was really good to his father, no wonder his father trusted him so much. After hearing this story, even Guan Youyou did not suspect him anymore.
He crossed his legs and frowned, as if he was thinking about something important.
… ….
"Master, the court's summons has arrived." A servant ran up with a document in his hand.
Guan Zhengyuan was about to come over, but when he opened it, he was immediately stunned.
When Guan Youyou turned her head over, she actually saw that Guan Qiqi was suing her father for intentional murder, and to blame it on Lin Wanyi.
"Daddy! "Elder sister is framing us!" Guan Youyou shouted excitedly.
Guan Zhengyuan shook his head, his face full of disappointment.
"Big sister must have made a mistake. She didn't hear what you said that day, so it must have been a misunderstanding. I'll explain it to her clearly. Daddy, you just didn't …"
Guan Youyou's words were interrupted by him, he shook his head, and he knew in his heart that this was definitely not a simple misunderstanding. It was very likely that Lin Wanyi had ordered it, and even used a deceptive method to get Qi Qi to do so.
Guan Qiqi must believe Lin Wanyi very much right now, because after confirming this matter, it would be useless for anyone to try to persuade her.
"Then daddy... I'll testify for you. "
Guan Zhengyuan patted Guan Youyou's head and nodded benevolently.
How could Guan Youyou have known that her testimony was completely useless, because the other party had already made complete preparations for the past few days.
Guan Zhengyuan was obviously tired, he laid down and said to the two of them: "You two go out first, I'm a little tired, I want to rest. Oh right, Yo Yo, can you stay at home tonight? "
This was the first time Guan Youyou saw Guan Zhengyuan using such a begging tone to invite her to sleep at home. She hurriedly nodded, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
… ….
After leaving Guan Zhengyuan's room, Guan Youyou sent Pei Zi Yun away before lying down on his bed exhausted.
How long had it been since she had lain so still in this familiar bed? This summer vacation was really too unusual. She really wanted to get a good night's sleep …
Thinking about this, along with his exhausted body, Guan Youyou actually didn't even take off her clothes and fell asleep on the bed …
In a trance, he felt a figure appear in the doorway of the room. This person helped her remove her shoes, lifted her onto the bed, adjusted her, gently put a pillow under her neck, and finally covered her with an air conditioner.
Before she left, when she was still in a daze, she heard him say, "little idiot …"
Then he fell asleep.
… ….
That night, Li Rencan brought Lin Lan home.
When he reached his house, he hesitated because he just called home to say that he would bring his girlfriend home tonight, but no one answered the phone. He didn't know if they were home or not, and if they weren't, what were they doing?
In fact, in the bottom of Li Rencan's heart, there was actually that little bit of hope. They were not at home, that way he wouldn't have to face the embarrassing situation below.
However, things did not turn out as he wished.
After Li Rencan pressed the doorbell, the person who opened the door was Li Le.
When Lin Lan saw Li Le, her entire face turned green, and without saying a word, she ran off while covering her face.
Li Rencan anxiously stomped his foot and said fiercely, "It's all your fault, sister!" Then, he turned around and gave chase.
Li Le giggled, and shouted loudly from behind him: "Good little brother, your girlfriend is too narrow-minded, big sis will help you teach her a lesson."
… ….
Li Rencan spent a lot of effort before he managed to coax Lin Lan back. He explained to her that Li Le was actually his sister, but Lin Lan was skeptical, and her entire face was burning red.
The two of them came to the Li family residence once again. This time, the person who opened the door was a servant.
When they arrived at the living room, a sumptuous dinner had already been prepared. The two people from the family were sitting at the table, waiting for them.
Li Rencan introduced her to Lin Lan: "This is my sister, her name is Li Le, you've met her before."
"Hello elder sister." Lin Lan lowered her head in embarrassment.
"This is my father, the police chief of Li City."
Regarding Li Rencan's family, Lin Lan had long heard of them. When they had met on the first day, she already knew that Li Rencan was the bureau chief's son, although she had been prepared for this, now that she saw the dignified Director Lee, she was a little afraid.
Li Tai did not look straight at Lin Lan, and picked up the cup of tea on the table, "Mmm." She made a sound.
Just then, a woman wearing an apron walked out of the kitchen. She held onto two plates of food, and walked to Lin Lan's side to serve the dishes.
"Sit down, girl." This woman said to Lin Lan enthusiastically.
Lin Lan sat down awkwardly. She did not expect that the owner of the house did not ask her to sit down, nor did Li Rencan, for it to be a small servant.
As she thought of this, she froze for a moment. Then, she decided to sit close to him.
But accidentally, she bumped into the plate in the woman's hand. The soup spilled out and splashed all over Lin Lan's body.
This dress was something that she had bought specially today, it had cost her a lot of money. Lin Lan anxiously used her hands to wipe the stains on her skirt. The woman carrying the dishes quickly placed the two dishes on the table, then took out a piece of cloth from her apron and wiped Lin Lan's skirt.
Because of the awkwardness and impatience just now, Lin Lan became a little impatient. She glared at the woman, and coldly said: "No need." She wondered how the current nanny could be so clumsy.
Lin Lan's attitude was a little bad. She was only concerned with wiping her skirt, and did not feel that the atmosphere had changed from an awkward to an even more frightening one.
Li Rencan finally walked to Lin Lan's side. When Lin Lan raised his head, he thought that Yue Yang was going to wipe his own skirt, and was about to welcome him with a smile on his face, but he saw that he was supporting the woman from just now and had her sit beside Lin Lan. He said: "Mom, hurry up, don't do it, sit down and eat."
Lin Lan was completely petrified as she looked at the woman beside her in a daze.
The woman took off her apron, let down her hair, and removed her gloves.
A delicate face was exposed. Her facial features were impeccable. She didn't look like a traditional Chinese beauty, but instead like a Korean actress on a silver screen.
Wait, didn't Li Le say that he would offer sacrifices to their mother this afternoon? Then who was this woman that Li Rencan called mother?
Could it be that they were of the same father?!
Lin Lan was thunderstruck, she lowered her head, regretting her actions.
After a few seconds of silence, Li Le finally broke through the terrifying silence. She laughed, "It's rare that brother brought a girl home for the first time, let's not give her too much pressure.
"Right, right, right. Little Le is right. Let's eat." Mother Li spoke in unpracticed Chinese.
Lin Lan felt that her accent was weird, and looking at her appearance, she couldn't help but have a bold guess …
At this time, Li Rencan said indifferently: "My mother is Korean, please do not take offense."
No wonder, Lin Lan had always felt that the name Li Rencan sounded like a Korean. He never thought that he would actually have a Korean mother, and a beautiful one at that. But the most uncomfortable thing was that she had just offended this beautiful old lady. She was afraid that there would be no good results in the future. Right now, she really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Lin Lan's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, when suddenly Li Le said one sentence, and pulled her thoughts back.
"That's right, Korea is a place where beauties like aunts flourish. Some small villages cannot compare to them."
The atmosphere in the room became strange once again. Director Lee, who had been cherishing words like gold from the start, wiped his mouth and stood up, then said, "I'm full."
Li Le also stood up and hugged his arm: "Father, don't go. It's rare for your daughter-in-law to come over.
Li Tai shook her hand off, "If you don't want to eat properly in the future, don't come back."
After speaking, he left the banquet.
Li Le smirked and looked at the Korean.
"Auntie Soo Zhen, dad is acting rashly again."
Li Xiuzhen, who was sitting at the side, cooked for a long time. She didn't even manage to eat a single mouthful. The moment she sat down, she immediately stood up with a face full of smiles and an impeccable manner.
"Your father is really … I'll go call her back."
Finished, she turned and faced Li Rencan and Lin Lan, "Son, you greet Miss Lin and let me eat first, I'll be back shortly."
"Miss Lin, take your time and eat." As she said this, she slightly bent her waist and gave a half bow, paying great attention to etiquette.
This was a stark contrast to what Lin Lan had just said. For a moment, Lin Lan was ashamed to the point of being ashamed.
Li Le crossed his arms with a face full of disdain, and waited for Li Xiuzhen to leave, and softly said: "Let's see how long you can pretend for."
When Li Rencan heard this, he was so angry that he threw the chopsticks on the table, "Sister!"
"What?" Li Le said haughtily.
"Aunt Le was not killed by my mother. Can you stop targeting her?"
