“What plans do you have for your future?” Li Mu asked.
Du Xinzhu’s gaze turned a little empty as she said with a smile, “What other plans could I possibly have? I guess I’ll just see how it goes.”
“It’s not like you’re seventy or eighty years old. You’re still young. If you decide to just go with the flow at this age, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life?”
Du Xinzhu’s reply made Li Mu scoff in disdain. Her attitude towards marriage was so negative. Could it possibly be because Fang Qiang still had a special spot in her heart?
“Do you still love him?”
“Brother Mu, things are over between me and him. You don’t know how disgusting he is. There was a time when I found him in the bathroom. Well, you know what. He was doing something disgusting while looking at Lin Wan’s picture. That’s when I knew that we were never going back.”
“Lin Wan’s picture? What picture?”
“It was a
“I’ll never swim again!” Lin Wan said with a huff.“You’re being too extreme!” Li Mu comforted her, “Don’t punish yourself for someone else’s mistake. There’s nothing wrong with swimming. You look beautiful in your bikini. I like to look at you in it.”“I’ll wear it for you when we reach home, okay?” Lin Wan said shyly.“Not today, maybe next time!” Li Mu refused almost immediately. He didn’t have the mood for that right now. The only thing he wanted to do most today was to sleep.“Well, one would get tired of looking at even the most beautiful face sooner or later. Alas, women make themselves presentable for those around them, but nothing lasts forever. Eventually, when they age, those who once admired them will then turn to admire another young woman. I guess this is the shared fate amongst women!”Li Mu ignored her as he was now in a blur. The sense of relief accompanied by the fatigue from the long drive had
Mrs. Hong didn’t ask any more questions as she already got an answer from Mr. Gou’s response.This was obviously a personal vengeance. Mr. Gou had no idea of what was going on, including what was done without his consent.Mr. Gou stood up and bowed to Mrs. Hong with his fist clasped. “Ms. Hong, I am truly ashamed to cause such inconvenience to Ms. He! It’s all because I’ve been too lenient. I sincerely apologize for this and will apologize to her once again when I see her!”Mrs. Hong stood up too, and returned his greetings formally, “Mr. Gou, you’re too courteous. We have overstepped the bounds of our authority by dealing with your people. Please forgive us!”“No worries, no worries. Ms. Hong, you’ve dealt him well, and I’m thankful for that. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely give you a proper explanation in regards to this matter!” The people behind Mr. Gou felt sorry for Nan’s family. In fact, some of them had al
Du Xinzhu insisted on them staying out of this matter, hence Li Mu and the others eventually promised that they would no longer be involved in her divorce lawsuit.Everyone knew that Du Xinzhu meant well. She didn’t want them to be involved in this fiasco or get themselves into trouble.Sometimes it was hard to be a kind person, and good deeds could be more easily said than done. If you were not careful, you might just get yourself into trouble.With the evidence Du Xinzhu had, Fang Qiang would not dare to do anything to her. Hence there would be a great chance that he would take his frustration out on the people around him. Being vengeful enough, if he knew that Li Mu and the others were supporting his ex-wife in this issue, he would never let them get away with it.It was not that Li Mu was afraid of him, but as the saying went, an open enemy was better than a false friend. He could care less about himself, but what about
Lin Wan has once again taken over the responsibility of leading the choir. But unlike before, this time there would be no distractions caused by irrelevant matters and people.She was hired as a teacher by invitation. Being both the choir’s leader and tutor, she was given absolute authority. She never had to worry about getting herself into a mess like before anymore.Lin Wan was happy with this arrangement. With only ten days left until the finals, she decided to use this time well to rehearse a few times with the students, so they would be in their best condition to compete with their opponents. Who’d knew one trouble would follow the other? The external interference was now gone, but now there was a problem within the choir itself. To make things worse, the problem was at the core of the choir, which stressed Lin Wan out.The person who had issues was Lu Jiaxue. She was fine in the first two rehearsals, but at the third
Lu Fangliang did not know Zhou Zijian as they had never crossed paths before. But the two men who were once strangers became good friends because of Lin Wan.The first meeting between the two was a difficult one. Being the chairman of Lu Group, although Lu Fangliang was not a prominent figure, he wasn’t someone who could be easily met by just anyone.Zhou Zijian was aware of their difference in status, and he would probably be given the cold shoulder if he paid Lu Fangliang a visit. The only way to meet Lu Fangliang was to use Lin Wan’s name.After some prepping, Zhou Zijian made a call to the Lu House.When Madam Jiang picked up the phone, Zhou Zijian said politely, “Greetings, I would like to speak to Mr. Lu.”“May I know who’s speaking?”“My name is Zhou Zijian, and I'm the planning supervisor of Dream Wedding Company. I would like to talk to Mr. Lu about Miss Lin Wan!”“Oh, alright.
Lin Wan mentioned again that she needed to leave when it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.This time, Lu Fangliang did not ask her to stay, but instead helped her to settle Lu Jiaxue's recrimination, causing Lin Wan to leave him a good impression.After leaving, Lin Wan rushed home immediately. Upon reaching home, she found out that the house was dark, and her husband was not home. She felt a little strange and called Li Mu immediately.Li Mu told her that Du Xinzhu had come to visit in the evening and wanted to treat them to dinner. They headed to the restaurant first after waiting for her for some time.Lin Wan hurried to the restaurant after asking for its location. She was a little furious when she saw what was going on there.The first thing she saw was her husband sitting in the middle, with Du Xinzhu on his left and He Xiaoyu on his right. The cups and plates on the table were in disarray. It was c
Zhou Zijian put it very bluntly, causing He Xiaoyu to blush profusely for being exposed. She subconsciously covered her embarrassment with a light cough, “It's alright. Tell me your suggestion!”Zhou Zijian said sincerely, “Miss, I suggest you not to wait for all the evidence to be gathered before you hand it over to Li Mu. Usually, a slow cut is far more painful and would cause more hopelessness than a quick stab. And at the very last moment, the impact will be strong, causing an irreversible outcome. I’m sure you understand what I mean.”After a moment of contemplation, He Xiaoyu nodded slowly.Zhou Zijian continued, “Since you agree with what I said, what we’ll do next requires your help and cooperation. Li Mu will probably confront Lin Wan after he gets the evidence. No matter what the result of the confrontation is, Lin Wan will definitely stay away from Lu Fangliang and his daughter, and our follow-up plan would not be able to proc
It was almost nine o'clock when Lin Wan arrived home. Her husband was yet to come home, so she called him out of concernHer husband's tired voice could be heard, “Lin Wan, what’s the matter?”Li Mu rarely calls his wife by her name Lin Wan. He only addresses her like this on formal occasions. Lin Wan thought he was with his colleagues and was not comfortable calling her “honey”. “Honey, when are you coming back?”“I’ll be late. I might need to work overnight. Have you eaten?”“I've eaten. How about you?”“I’ve eaten in the cafeteria. I’m pretty busy here. Take care of yourself!”“Alright, go ahead. Bye bye!”His action of ending the phone call abruptly made Lin Wan frown. He wasn’t like this before. No matter how busy he was, he would say bye before ending the call. What was wrong with him today?Perhaps he was too busy today. All of a sudden, Lin Wan wanted
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
