Xue Lu did not follow Li Yuanlang's greetings, but said coldly to Zhang Meng: "You go out first, I have something to talk to Li Yuanlang alone."

"Auntie, I want to hear it..." Zhang Meng had no intention of moving his legs and stood there not wanting to move.

"Listen to Auntie and go quickly." Xue Lu softened her attitude, but still insisted on driving Zhang Meng away.

"Then...okay." Zhang Meng turned around helplessly and reluctantly left the private room.

After he left, Xue Lu said to Li Yuanlang: "Stop standing, sit down."

Li Yuanlang sat on the sofa opposite Xue Lu, looking directly at Xue Lu. After all, she was his younger sister's stepmother and his elder, and she still had to abide by the rules.

"What do you want to drink?" Xue Lu asked.

"Not thirsty." Li Yuanlang answered simply and clearly.

"I called you here today because I want to tell you something." Xue Lu got straight to the point and was also not muddled.

"Qingrou is getting engaged tonight. My whole family and I don't want you to appear at the engagement ceremony."

What!

Li Yuanlang never imagined that Xue Lu would come to him for this.

"Why?" Li Yuanlang's expression instantly became solemn.

"It's very simple. I am Qingrou's mother and Akihito is her father. Who are you? In the eyes of outsiders, how come Qingrou has a brother named Li? How do others see her, how do they see Lao Ye?

Our whole family?"

Xue Lu quickly showed an aggressive attitude and her tone became stern.

"Lao Ye is now the governor of Nanling and is in a critical period of his official career. Once the mistakes he has made in the past are used by people with ulterior motives, it will have an extremely negative impact on him. Besides, your mother and him have a bad relationship.

, should not exist. Your appearance is unreasonable and unreasonable. If you are really good for Qingrou, you should know how to advance and retreat. If you don't come tonight, I will arrange an appropriate time tomorrow to welcome you to my home.

In front of our whole family, you can still wish your sister well, and the effect will be the same."

What a shame!

Li Yuanlang became furious and immediately stood up and responded coldly: "I only know that Qingrou's mother is Fan Yuqin. Qingrou and I are the same mother. I only have one sister. Engagement and marriage are major events in her life. I

I will not be absent because I represent her mother Fan Yuqin who has passed away."

"So, you are not going to listen to my advice and insist on going your own way and going against me?"

Hearing this, Xue Lu's face suddenly turned as cold as ice, and she stared at Li Yuanlang. The words were almost forced out of her teeth.

"I will definitely participate. No matter what others say, I will never compromise. Not now, nor in the future."

Li Yuanlang spoke sternly, his body straight and his eyes full of perseverance and inviolability.

"Okay, okay, Li Yuanlang, you have the backbone, I will remember it." Xue Lu stood up angrily, her originally white face turned pale.

She had been sitting just now, and Li Yuanlang didn't notice it. It wasn't until she stood up that Li Yuanlang realized that Xue Lu was actually very short, only a little over 1.5 meters tall.

He has never seen Ye Mingren in person, but he has seen a full-body photo of him. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a tall figure. He can be said to be a talented person.

Otherwise, Fan Yuqin would not have been so fascinated that she was willing to give birth to a child for him behind her husband's back.

It is said that a talented man and a beautiful woman are made for each other, but in this couple, Xue Lu is mediocre in both figure and appearance, not even the slightest bit worse than Ye Mingren.

The strange thing is that they actually became a couple?

Moreover, Xue Lu was not pregnant, otherwise Ye Mingren would not have stolen his three-year-old sister from home in despicable ways to raise her.

There are too many things in this world that I cannot understand, and Ye Mingren and Xue Lu are one of them.

Xue Lu's tone was obviously threatening, but Li Yuanlang didn't take it seriously at all.

With a trace of disdain twitching at the corner of his mouth, he turned around and strode towards the door of Meteor Private Room.

But he heard Xue Lu shouting from behind him: "Li Yuanlang, don't think that you are so great just because you are Gu Zhongyuan's grandson-in-law. Gu Zhongyuan has long since retired and is on his deathbed. He doesn't have much to live up to. It's not like the Yongxiang of my family."

Sooner or later, you will regret your decision today."

Li Yuanlang sneered and left without looking back.

After a while, Zhang Meng poked his head in, stretched his neck, and sneaked in. Seeing the angry look on his aunt's face, he walked up to him and asked if the boy named Li had offended her.

Xue Lu's face was full of anger, and she said fiercely: "Li Yuanlang, aren't you just a little Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission? Wait until my elder brother takes over, and see how I deal with you!"

Zhang Meng's little eyes twitched and he said sinisterly: "Auntie, you still need my uncle to take action. If you are not a sinister person, I will do it."

Xue Lu immediately straightened her face and reprimanded: "Xiao Meng, this is a matter for our older generation. Don't get involved blindly. Just do your job well. Do you understand?"

"Auntie, I understand." Zhang Meng agreed, but his little eyes were clearly ferocious and cunning.

Li Yuanlang took a taxi back to the Gu family mansion.

He originally planned to go to Beijing University to visit Zheng Haixin.

Think about it and forget it. I'm in a bad mood and don't affect her anymore.

And I have to attend my sister's engagement ceremony in the evening, so time is quite tight.

As soon as he walked into his room, his sister Ye Qingrou's call came in.

Li Yuanlang was still thinking, maybe Qingrou heard something.

Probably not. He guessed that Xue Lu made an appointment with him behind her sister's back.

From his understanding of his sister, he knew that her sister was a considerate and kind-hearted girl and would never agree to what Xue Lu did.

Although she has left her home in Ganping County since she was a child, in her bones, that home still has a place in her heart.

Otherwise, she would not have braved the snow and wind to go to Ganping to find Li Yuanlang and her adoptive father Li Yizhao.

Sure enough, Ye Qingrou asked happily on the phone: "Brother, have you arrived in the capital? If not, Wang Song and I will pick you up."

"Silly girl, I've been here a long time ago." Obviously, from Ye Qingrou's tone, she knew nothing.

"It's so annoying, brother, why didn't you tell me when you arrived? Do you still have my sister in your heart?"

Hearing that his sister was acting coquettishly, Li Yuanlang smiled knowingly and apologized repeatedly, "Brother was afraid that you were busy, so I didn't bother you."

"Where are you? I want to see you."

"Forget it, we can meet in a few hours, why rush now." Li Yuanlang persuaded: "Just finish your work there, you don't have to worry about me here, I will definitely go, no one can stop me

No."

"Does it mean that someone is stopping you?" Ye Qingrou was extremely smart, and she immediately sensed something unusual from Li Yuanlang's words.

Li Yuanlang repeatedly explained his slip of the tongue, and also said: "You know your brother and my character. I am someone who can easily make outsiders change their minds."

Ye Qingrou smiled and said: "Stop bragging, everyone has people to be afraid of, my sister-in-law can do it."

Li Yuanlang suddenly withered, "Sister, can you save face for me and not mention your sister-in-law?"

Speaking of Shui Tingyue, Ye Qingrou felt regretful and asked in a low mood: "Brother, sister-in-law can't come, right?"

Li Yuanlang explained: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and has limited mobility, so she cannot come this time. However, she has prepared a precious gift for you and repeatedly told me not to open it in advance, but to do it in front of you. You

My sister-in-law racked her brains for this gift and even hid it from me, saying she wanted to give you a surprise."

"Surprise, okay, I'll wait."

The two were having a lively chat when they saw Shui Qingzhang walking into the yard. Girls laughing and talking could be heard from Ye Qingrou's side. Li Yuanlang knew that the girl had friends over, so he said "see you in the evening" to each other and hung up the phone.

Shui Qingzhang's face was slightly red, he must have been drunk. Li Yuanlang hurriedly welcomed him out and helped him into Shui Qingzhang's room.

"Go get me a glass of water." Shui Qingzhang loosened the collar of his shirt and said, "This Akihito found several people to drink with me. He knew that my heart was not good and he still drank it. I had to wait for him to come to Yunyang.

You can’t find your place again.”

Obviously, the old father-in-law was in a good mood and always had a smile on his face.

Li Yuanlang quickly poured a glass of warm water for Shui Qingzhang and asked him if he felt uncomfortable after drinking so much wine.

"It's okay. I know my own body. It's okay to have another drink." Shui Qingzhang waved his hand and repeatedly warned Li Yuanlang, "Don't tell your mother that I drink when you go back. If your mother knows, she will have a big fight with me."

It can’t be fought.”

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly: "Dad, this is my mother's natal family. If I don't tell you about your drinking, others will tell me if I don't protect you."

"Yes, how could I have forgotten this?" Shui Qingzhang simply shook his head, "I won't mention her anymore. I get a headache when I mention her. Tell me about you, what does Xue Lu want from you?"
