Guo Xuhui panted, asking, "Where did you put the shoes?"
"With Xu Lili," Lin Ziqi replied.
However, Xu Lili wore a pure white long dress, without any place to hide shoes on her.
"Are you lying to me?" Guo Xuhui glanced at Xu Lili and shouted at Lin Ziqi.
"I'm telling the truth. Whether you can get them depends on your ability," Lin Ziqi said with a smile.
"Lili, where did you hide the shoes?" Guo Xuhui asked.
"How about this, President Guo. Qi Qi also told you just now that the shoes are with me.
If you want me to take them out, you have to give me some benefit.
Otherwise, you can search yourself," Xu Lili said.
"How about this, tell me which handsome guy you fancy, and I'll play matchmaker for you," Guo Xuhui suggested.
"This condition is not acceptable. Although I, Xu Lili, am not as attractive as I could be,
I have a whole platoon of suitors, so you don't need to worry about this matter."
"Then what benefit do you want?"
"Today is your and President Xiao's big day, so tell us about your first kissing experience.
Let us single dogs learn from you," Xu Lili said.
"Sister Lili, you're awesome," everyone chimed in.
"This..." Guo Xuhui glanced at Xiao Li.
"Let me tell it," Xiao Li said, seeing Guo Xuhui's difficulty.
"No, President Xiao. This must be told by President Guo," Xu Lili objected.
"Alright, then I'll teach you a trick.
At that time, Xiao Li used a honey trap, and I couldn't resist the temptation, so I kissed her," Guo Xuhui said.
"Honey trap? I've used so many honey traps, why hasn't anyone kissed me?
No. Your answer is the same as not saying anything. It doesn't count," Xu Lili was unwilling.
"Then what honey trap did you use?" Guo Xuhui teased.
"Am I not beautiful enough right now?" Xu Lili struck a pose.
"Ugh..." everyone groaned in mock disgust.
"You, who are you guys in league with?" Xu Lili asked angrily.
"It's mainly that your pose is too captivating, hahaha..." Lin Ziqi couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't this me casting a brick to attract jade?
President Guo, you have to tell us what honey trap Sister Xiao used.
Otherwise, we can't pass this stage," Xu Lili said loudly.
"The main thing is that Xiao Li used 'flaming red lips' lipstick that day, and I couldn't help myself, so I kissed her," Guo Xuhui said.
"Tsk, I don't believe it. Anyone who doesn't know would think you're advertising for a lipstick company."
Xu Lili still did not accept Guo Xuhui's answer.
"If you don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do. Why don't you ask Xiao Li if it's true?" Guo Xuhui said.
"President Xiao, is what President Guo said true?" Xu Lili asked.
"Half true, half false. I did use 'flaming red lips' that day.
But the main reason was that Brother Hui already liked me in his heart, which is why it happened," Xiao Li said.
"I agree with this more. President Guo is still too reserved.
Why don't you just say I liked President Xiao, so I kissed her, so what?
Can anyone stop you from kissing her? I'll grudgingly pass it,"
Xu Lili said, lifting her skirt to reveal her thigh.
It turned out the bride's shoes were taped to the outside of her thigh.
Several groomsmen, playing along, exclaimed in unison, "Sister Lili, so fair."
"There's even fairer skin, want to see?" Xu Lili teased.
"Yes," several groomsmen said in unison.
"Get lost," Xu Lili said with a soft scolding.
"Hahaha..." everyone chattered merrily.
It was past 7:30 when Guo Xuhui finally helped Xiao Li put on her shoes.
The couple then kowtowed to Xiao Li's parents, changed their address, and took family photos. This whole process finished past 7:50.
Wu Youzhi said something to Pi Xiaoqian, who quickly ran out and set off firecrackers to urge the bride.
Everyone knew the time was drawing near.
Xiao Mingliang and his cousins escorted Xiao Li to the wedding car.
"Mingliang, from now on, be more mindful in everything you do. Don't let others fool you into counting the money they stole from you," Xiao Li advised.
"I understand, Sister. Sister, I'm sorry," Xiao Mingliang said, full of shame.
"It's all in the past. It's good that you're unharmed.
Don't go out to work when you get back; find a job near home.
You're not young anymore, it's time to find a girlfriend."
"Sister, can I come and work with you?"
"We'll discuss this when I get back with your brother-in-law."
"Sister, Xu Lili is really beautiful."
"Don't even think about it. Hurry up and get in the car. You'll sit with Uncle later."
"Sister, I'll talk to brother-in-law when I get back, okay?"
"I'll tell you after I discuss it with your brother-in-law. Go to the back and get in the car."
"Okay, Sister. I'll ride with you to the village entrance before I get into another car."
At this moment, Pi Xiaoqian lit the firecrackers again. The auspicious time had arrived.
Xiao Li's tears suddenly fell.
A married daughter is like spilled water.
She was leaving today, and when she returned, she would be a guest.
A wave of melancholy washed over her.
"Daughter, let's go. Come back often when you have time," her mother said, holding her hand.
"Mom, please take good care of yourself. I'll visit you often from now on."
"Mom, I will treat Xiao Li well from now on. Please rest assured," Guo Xuhui said.
Xiao Mingliang and his cousins escorted the wedding car all the way to the village entrance.
Guo Yiyu bid farewell to Wu Youzhi and Xiao Li's family, and they all got into their cars.
Guo Xuhui's convoy sped towards the provincial capital.
Meanwhile, Laohu was escorted into the interrogation room.
"Name?"
"Li Xingwang."
"Age?"
"36 years old."
"Gender?"
"Male."
...
"What was your relationship with the deceased?"
"We had no relationship."
"No relationship? If you had no relationship, why would you kill him?"
"Officer, it's not like that. I didn't kill him."
"You didn't kill him? Who killed him if not you?"
"I don't know either."
"You don't know? Then how did the deceased die in your arms?"
"I really don't know."
"Stop trying to quibble. So many people saw you strangle Wang Jun to death. It's useless if you don't admit it."
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me. Officer, you must believe me!" Li Xingwang cried out loudly.
Who had he offended? How could this have happened?
Although he had always disliked Wang Jun, what could he do about it?
Wang Jun was a second-generation heir. Even though his father was in prison, the resources he left behind were enough for him to live without worry.
He himself was just a small-time hoodlum, relying on this chess and card room for a living.
This time, Wang Jun had asked him to find someone to scam a young man out of money.
Wang Jun had been his benefactor in the past, so he could still do him this small favor.
He found people to set a trap for the young man, let him play a few rounds, and won twenty to thirty thousand yuan.
Then, they started to "butcher the pig."
In no time, a few people had won all the young man's money.
