“Oh, come on! He’s my cousin. How can you... Fine, I’ll cut ties with him, but you have to cut ties with He Xiaoyu too!”
“Don’t carry it too far. Tell me why you bailed your marriage.”
“No way! You have to promise me that you’ll cut ties with He Xiaoyu! I don’t like her either!”
“Alright, I know what the boundaries are. Now get into the story!”
Lin Wan stared at Li Mu for a moment before continuing, “My parents worked in the construction industry, and they wanted me to marry their business partner’s son. I didn’t want to, so I ran away from home, came to Shanyang, and eventually met you.”
“But you told me that your parents passed away, and you’re all alone. You’re really something. Not only did you lie, but you even curse your family to death! How cruel!”
“I never lied. I told you that my family is not around, but I never said that they were dead.”
“Why didn’t you tell me the whole story back then?”
“What’s the point of telling you? It’ll only add to your trouble. You can’t help me solve anything anyway. I’m sure they don’t want a son-in-law like you. Even if I told you the truth, will you be able to change things?”
“Am I that miserable?” Feeling hurt, Li Mu could not help but mutter.
“Anyway, they’re not going to accept you, so I’ll just spill the beans. Two days ago, they found me. The purpose of them coming this time is to ask me to leave you and go back home with them.”
“We made such a scene in the hotel. Why didn’t they show up?”
“We didn’t live together. Mrs. Hong, Lin Kun, and I lived in Fuhao Hotel while the others lived in Renaissance Hotel.” Calmly, Lin Wan responded.
Seeing the confused look on Li Mu’s face, she quickly explained, “We always argue whenever we meet each other, so my fifth uncle suggested that we live in different places. I’m close to Mrs. Hong and Lin Kun, so we were put in the same hotel.”
“Why didn’t you come back home then?”
“Mrs. Hong forced me to stay back. We haven’t met each other for a long time, so she wanted to catch up with me for a bit.”
“Since they’ve already found you, why do you want to keep it from me?”
“Honey, I don’t want them to harass you. If they can’t convince me, they’ll change their target to you. I don’t want this issue to affect our relationship.”
Lin Wan’s explanation seemed reasonable and flawless.
That meant he was too rash and had falsely accused Lin Wan.
Embarrassed, he smiled.
“Humph, you accused me for no reason in front of those people. Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Lin Wan asked.
“You can’t say that I did it for no reason. If I stay out the whole night and I am close to another woman, will you be able to keep your cool?”
“I’ll ask you what’s going on. Even if you might be lying to me, I’ll choose to communicate with you right away and see if there’s any misunderstanding. I won’t go around accusing others like you!”
With that, Lin Wan started feeling agitated, “Talking about this, how dare you accuse me just like that? Li Mu, I left home, married you, and even gave you my first time. Don’t you have any trust in me?”
Obviously, that topic hit her sore point and she started punching Li Mu, “Not to mention you humiliate me in front of that b*tch! You let her bully me! Don’t you feel sorry for me?!”
Li Mu was completely baffled. He thought he was on the right side, and everything he did reflected how clear his conscience was. Who would’ve thought that it would make him look like a reckless man instead?However, the current situation showed how wrong he was. Very Wrong!He wronged his wife, tarnished his lover's innocence, and also beat up his innocent brother-in-law deliberately without proper justification.The wronged Lin Wan burst into tears and sobbed profusely. Li Mu immediately apologized to her by bowing, within an ace of kneeling to kowtow to her to prove his sincerity.Lin Wan took this opportunity to ask him to break off all relationships with He Xiaoyu once and for all. Patting his chest, Li Mu promised that he would stay away from He Xiaoyu, and never gave his wife any trouble again.After what felt like ages of coaxing and persuasion, Lin Wan finally smiled through her tears. Li Mu snatched thi
The call between the two women was short since it wasn’t anything complicated. After a few words, Lin Wan placed her phone casually on the cupboard."I'll go to wash my hair first. You’d better get ready too, we're leaving in a few minutes."Li Mu responded with a yes. Right after Lin Wan left, he immediately picked up her phone again and unlocked her phone’s graphic lock to look through his wife's phone call history.Apart from him, the majority of those who had contact with his wife were her colleagues, while the rest were express packages and takeaways. There was also nothing out of place in terms of her call frequency.He then checked her VChat history. All he could see were various groupchats with her colleagues and groups about makeup, fresh food, cakes and so on. These were all normal social groups and there were no strangers found in her list of friends.The only noticeable change was that Lin Wan follow
“Give me your phone!” Lin Wan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly ordered her husband. “It’s in my bag. Get it yourself. What do you want to do with my phone?”"I want to check what you and He Xiaoyu usually talk about.""Tsk, feel free to look through my phone as much as you like!" Li Mu said disdainfully. "There is nothing between us, so I have nothing to fear."Lin Wan started to look through her husband’s phone. After a while, she suddenly snapped at him, “Pull over now!”“What’s the matter?”“I asked you to pull over!” Lin Wan shouted angrily.Li Mu quickly stopped the car at the side of the road. Before the car came to a complete stop, Lin Wan hurriedly got out of the car and walked back while crying."What the f**k!" Li Mu cursed. He immediately stalled the car and got out to chase after Lin Wan. Grabbing hold of her hand, he asked, "What's wrong?
Despite Lin Kun’s provocation, Li Mu didn’t even bother to cast a glance at him.Instead, he said to Lin Wan’s parents calmly, “I think I’d better call you two uncle and aunt. Let’s do it this way. I’ll give you two a million dollars. You can treat this as the payment for selling your daughter to me!”“How insolent of you!” the fifth aunt yelled from the side. “How am I being insolent? Your husband quoted the price. The price he quoted for Lin Wan was one million. Since you guys quoted the price, why can’t I buy her?”“In your dreams! Our baby Lin Wan is worth far more than a million dollars.” The fifth aunt replied furiously.“Oh, then why don't you tell me how much Lin Wan is worth to you guys?”Li Mu had completely sidetracked the whole conversation. He was really a senior consultant of a reputable company. He was really good at grasping the opportunity and leading the conversation.
Li Mu walked into the office with apprehension when he went to work on Monday.From afar, he had already seen He Xiaoyu sitting at his work station, staring fixedly at the entrance.When she saw Li Mu, He Xiaoyu immediately sprang up from her seat and called out loudly, “Li Mu!”A few of the colleagues who had already reached the office immediately turned their heads to their side one after another and looked at them curiously.Li Mu quickly trotted over and said in a low pleading voice, “Ms. Yu, please spare me. If there is anything, let’s go outside and talk about it.”He Xiaoyu snorted and strutted out of the office.Li Mu hurriedly threw his bag on the desk and followed her out obediently. The two of them went to the garden downstairs, and found a place with not many people. Before Li Mu could sit down, He Xiaoyu had already begun to question him, “Lin Wan blocked me, right?”
Upon hearing Li Mu’s words of concern for him, Mr. Li chuckled and patted him on his shoulder.“Li Mu, thanks for thinking of me after you got promoted. Don’t worry. Thanks to you, I also got promoted to the general manager of the business department. I am only changing to another office. We will still be working together!”Li Mu immediately expressed his congratulations to Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan responded with a smile, “We will congratulate each other. Do you have time tonight? If you are free, let’s have a drink together?”"Okay, let's have a drink together!"Then, Li Mu stood up, preparing to leave the room. Just when he was about to walk out of the room, Mr. Yan suddenly reminded him, “Li Mu, Xiaoyu will be your subordinate in the future. You must take good care of her. Don’t tire her out!”There seemed to be a hidden meaning in these words, but Li Mu couldn’t figure it out in a moment. So, he just replied, “Alrig
He Xiaoyu’s questions made Li Mu hesitate for a long time.After much deliberation, he finally said to He Xiaoyu, “If that is really the case then I’ll definitely leave her, but the latter question...” “Why? Even if you leave her, you won’t be interested in me, either?” He Xiaoyu asked disappointedly.”“No, I don’t mean that. You think too much. I think we have to get along with each other first. After all, there was an only pure friendship between us previously. We may not be able to change this in a while.”Li Mu was very honest, and didn’t try to hide anything. He told her about all his thoughts truthfully without holding anything back.He Xiaoyu laughed and leaned her body towards him. Li Mu hurriedly moved to the side to avoid her, pressing his body tightly to the car door. “What are you avoiding me?” He Xiaoyu grumbled."Xiaoyu, I only said that there might be a po
Upon seeing the look on her face, Ms. Tian knew that Lin Wan must have forgotten about it. She couldn’t help but grumble at her again. Lin Wan immediately apologized to her, "Alright, alright. I have a lot of things to deal with lately, so I didn't have time to think about this. But I didn't forget this on purpose. This is my fault, okay?""Then do you agree or not? The other party is still waiting for your reply. Lin Wan, my student personally called you. Don't let her down."Lin Wan smiled gracefully and said to Ms. Tian, "Okay, I can agree to be her home tutor. But her parents have to agree to a condition of mine. If not, I won’t do it.”“Okay, tell me. What is your condition? They were pretty rich, so whatever you want, they can surely satisfy you,” Ms. Tian immediately responded.Her answer made Lin Wan a little unhappy. She suddenly felt that Ms. Tian was insolently rude, and the way she spoke made her fe
The fifth princess glanced towards He Xiaoyu's hand.Then he said, "That's right, it's it, I only have one piece of Ruyi on me, so I'm sure it can't be wrong."Master Kei also came over to recognize it, and after pondering it for a while, he said aloud, "Good, good, fellow monks, the old monk has thought of a way."Li Mu touched his head and asked in a humorless manner, "What idea did Master think of?""Monk Li, the old monk can now conclude that the function of these pillars is to instantly move, not to devour, which means that we will not be in danger if we touch them.""And then what, what's your idea?""The old monk's idea is a bit foolish, I think that we might as well touch these stone pillars and let them keep shifting us until they send us out.""Blind cat on a dead mouse?""Words are not enough, that's exactly what the old monk's idea was.""What kind of bullshit idea is that, you-"Li Mu was still about to say mor
It was dark outside, but there was light inside.It was only after careful identification that the crowd realized that those stone pillars would emit a faint ghostly light.Strange, why can't I find this feature out there.It wasn't a big deal though, and no one cared as they continued on in.Passing through a few more stone pillars, Li Mu subconsciously looked backward and was shocked, he couldn't help but call out, "Holy shit, where's the road we came from, we're walking in a straight line, how come we can't see the road anymore."The crowd hurriedly looked back, not so much, behind a large stone pillar blocking the front, where there is still the way to come.Li Mu pointed at the pillar and asked the others, "How did this pillar come to be here, and who saw how it came to be here?"All shook their heads.Li Mu continued to ask, "Master Kei, Princess Five, do you sense any changes in the formation?"The Fifth Princess was at a
Chi Feng retreated to the side and completely calmed down, poised and courteous, what a handsome beautiful boy.Li Mu was testing the width of the stone crevice, he stretched out his hand and was barely able to reach in, but his arm was unable to enter.Shen Xingyue also compared her measurements and shook her head towards Li Mu.The Fifth Princess laughed from the side, "You don't need to try, the gap is very narrow, with your stature you definitely won't make it."Chi Feng interjected, "This crevice is very strange, not to mention people, even ghosts can't get in."Reimu asked, "What do you mean?"Chi Feng replied, "As long as it's a living thing it can't get through, even if your body is like a piece of paper, you can't cross this gap.""So you've tried, have you managed to get through the gap?"Chi Feng shook his head and said, ''I've tried many ways to get through.I've been trying here for a long time, and there's been no g
Li Mu didn't completely agree with the old monk's words.He said directly, "There is some truth in the Master's judgment, it is very much like a war has taken place here.One thing that is not clearly explained though is that since it is a war then there are winners and losers, the loser quits and the winner stays.And what sense does it make that I see only wreckage and dilapidation, not the scent of human habitation?"Master Kei replied, "That war has destroyed this secret realm, and I'm afraid that the victors don't want it, so it's reasonable for the public to not be able to see the people."The crowd nodded their heads, thinking that the old monk was right, and that should be the reason.The Fifth Princess said to everyone, "Let's go, that place is very hidden, you need to go through secret passages to reach there, hopefully no one has noticed."The group hurried up the road and found a secret passage in a valley, through which they cam
Lin Wan and the girls had a very simple idea, with an infinite lifespan and a bright situation, why would they risk their lives to go to such a vicious place.Success, at best, will add to their careers, failure, will encounter life-threatening situations, how to look at it is not worth the loss, not worth doing.It was only because of Li Mu's great interest and always unwilling to settle down for a long time that they were forced to choose to go exploring.The purpose of the trip was entirely to keep him company, and there was no goal at all.They couldn't wait for Little Brother Li to give up on his original intention, and it would be best to return to the Su Clan's secret realm, that would be the best choice.The Fifth Princess shook her head helplessly and decided to hurry up and confess the truth, don't lose patience even with Li Mu in a while, and this heart will be completely dispersed."I'll start with the first secret place."A yawn
Before leaving the Su family, Gan Lu stole a visit to Li Mu and sincerely apologized.While congratulating her for finally being free, Li Mu repeatedly admonished her to be kind to others and not to do anything wrong, and Gan Lu repeatedly thanked her before leaving.At this point, the Su family's matter was considered to be satisfactorily resolved.Not long after, Su Yun two families big wedding, Yun Wanling married the younger uncle.Another period of time passed, and the Su family's second youngest grandmother reported that she was pregnant, carrying a pair of twins at once.October pregnancy, gave birth to a pair of big fat boys, the old lady can not close her mouth happily, Su family members are also raised eyebrows, each rejoicing.The Su family is even decorated with lanterns and large banquets, celebrating the fact that the Su family has a queen and does not have to worry about the problem of no one to follow in her footsteps.Li Mu
The Su family's old lady froze and didn't react for a long time.Reimu didn't say anything else, just looked at him quietly.The old lady pondered for half a day before she reacted to the flavor, her brow furrowed in embarrassment.She seemed a little uncomfortable, and a little moved.It was obvious that she was conflicted and didn't know how to make a decision.Lin Wan lost no time in saying, ''Elderly man, you have no one to turn to now, and your righteous son is your only hope.You should not be concerned about his status; since he has worshipped you, you are his mother, and he is your son Su Xi Mao."The old lady quickly said, ''Fairy is mistaken, I trust my son and know that he is a good boy and will definitely honor me.It's my eldest daughter-in-law I'm worried about, I don't know if she'll be happy about it, it's hard to ask for something like that, it's hard!"Li Mu laughed out loud and said to the old lady, "To tell yo
One day a few months later, the Su family's old lady invited Li Mu and the others over.The old lady's complexion was very bad, with no blood at all on her face, and when she saw the crowd, she immediately held back her left and right, and reluctantly smiled at them and said, "Here you are, all sit down!"Li Mu detected the words and knew that there was a situation, and deliberately asked, "Old lady, is there a result from the investigation?"The old woman nodded, a look of both pain and anger on her face.Li Mu sighed and said in a deep voice, "It seems that my analysis wasn't wrong, there really is something wrong with that merit law!"The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Not only is there a problem, as long as you practice that gongfu, not only will you lose your personnel ability, but you will surely lose your life in the long run.Moreover, the death was as if he was poisoned, my eldest son was not killed by poison, it was caused by prac
Seeing them all look sad, the Fifth Princess laughed, ''Sister Wan is right, with just a few of us, we definitely can't bring too many world stones with us.But it's not like there's no way to fix this thing."Little Brother Li's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Knowing that there is a good way, that's great, quickly, what should I do?""It's simple, we can start by seizing a secret realm and use it as our warehouse, storing all the world stones we find there.When you come back the next time, you can bring your chiropteran wolf with you and have it swallow all the worldstones, so that it won't be brought out."Li Mu vigorously slapped his thigh and shouted loudly, Lin Wan and the others also felt that this was a good idea indeed.Only Shen Xingyue frowned and asked, "Fifth Princess, how do you know that he has a chi wolf?"Lin Wan and the others were immediately alerted, yes, you even knew that we have chi wolves, how much do you really k
