Mo Hongti, upon learning from the hotel receptionist which private room Li Qianfan had gone to, immediately carried two bottles of fine wine to the door of room 203.
She bent down and tilted her head, her ear just touching the door, when she heard a crisp bang.
Something shot out with the speed of an arrow, hitting the door panel.
Mo Hongti jumped in surprise.
But before she could react, the door was flung open violently.
Her posture of bending down to eavesdrop was seen clearly by the people inside the room!
The crucial thing was, Mo Hongti hadn't heard a thing.
This was quite an embarrassing situation.
For any other woman, this would have been a major social death moment.
Mo Hongti, however, remained unfazed. She straightened up with a charming smile and said to Li Qianfan, "Little brother, you're too inconsiderate. Coming to my hotel to dine and not letting me know in advance. If I hadn't happened to see you, wouldn't that have been rude? Hurry, help me take these two bottles of wine. Alas, these two bottles are so heavy. I could barely carry them."
She had bent down not to eavesdrop on conversations in the room, but because the two bottles of wine she was holding were too heavy.
They weighed her down, making her bend—
With an excuse so unbelievable that even a child wouldn't believe it, Mo Hongti told it as if it were the truth.
Li Chenyang glanced back.
Li Qianfan frowned but smiled, "I really didn't expect this was your hotel. Ms. Mo, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
"Little brother, we're family, why be so polite?"
Mo Hongti said with a sweet smile, carrying the two bottles of wine, she gracefully walked into the private room.
Seeing that Li Qianfan was not welcoming Mo Hongti, Ye Tianjiao sneered, "You? You have the right to be family with Qianfan?"
"Yes. That's right."
Mo Hongti nodded earnestly, "A few nights ago, little brother was in my office, appreciating the 'Wu Yi' dance I performed for him. He not only praised my dancing but also allowed me to sit on his lap. Does this relationship between us not count as family?"
Wu Yi meant not wearing clothes.
Sitting on someone's lap was even more understandable.
The sharp-tongued Ye Tianjiao was at a loss for words.
Uncle Bei also frowned and made several gestures to Li Qianfan.
Dai Paipai couldn't understand—
Mo Hongti, however, smiled, "This elder brother, you saying I'm a woman available to anyone is a great mistake. Although I've been married eight times, that night was the first time I danced 'Wu Yi' for a man. It was also the first time I sat on a man's lap. If I'm lying, may my entire family die!"
Uncle Bei's sign language froze in mid-air.
Li Qianfan raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
Could it be that he had made a mistake that night?
"Little brother, I've put the wine here for you. You entertain your guests, and all expenses will be on me. Everyone, please enjoy your meal."
Mo Hongti placed the wine bottles down, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly to Uncle Bei and the others, and then turned and quickly left.
Without any hesitation.
"This girl is indeed remarkable."
Ye Tianjiao said thoughtfully, then pulling Dai Paipai's hand, she smiled, "Paipai, let's go for a walk. It's too stuffy in the private room."
It was obvious.
Ye Tianjiao wanted to get Dai Paipai out of the way, as she was not qualified to hear the matters Li Qianfan and Uncle Bei were about to discuss.
Dai Paipai was very astute.
She quickly said, "Yes, especially when the men are smoking in here, it's suffocating."
The two women linked arms and left the private room.
Li Chenyang simply walked out as well, standing outside with his arms crossed.
As soon as the door closed,
Uncle Bei quickly made a gesture, "Qianfan, are you sure you want to marry Su Ziyu?"
Li Qianfan simply gestured back, "Uncle Bei, I'm a live-in son-in-law."
Uncle Bei's mouth twitched, "Your mother won't agree."
Li Qianfan: "A grown son cannot be controlled by his mother."
Uncle Bei: "Aren't you afraid your mother will interfere with your affairs?"
Li Qianfan: "I am. That's why I plan to return to the village and write Ziyu's name into the clan registry."
Uncle Bei's expression changed, "If you do that, how will you explain it to the Shen family? After all, the engagement was decided by our village elder council. If Su Ziyu's name is in the clan registry, not only will the Lingnan Shen family have trouble with our Li family village, but that girl from the Shen family who has changed her surname to Du will definitely fight you to the death."
Li Qianfan already knew about the Shen family girl changing her surname to Du.
The incident occurred when the Shen family girl was six years old. While playing with the nanny, Grandma Du, and Grandma Du's only granddaughter, Xiao Yu, on the road, she ran onto the road to retrieve a ball. Coincidentally, a speeding car approached.
Xiao Yu, two years older than the Shen family girl, pushed her out of the way in time.
Xiao Yu, however, was severely injured and did not survive.
The Shen family felt deeply indebted and decided to let the girl change her surname to Du and recognize Grandma Du as her grandmother, to care for her until her death.
Grandma Du, from a poor background, was extremely humbled. While she could be the grandmother of the Shen family's eldest daughter, she absolutely refused to let the eldest daughter change her surname to Du.
The Shen family did not force the issue at the time, but after Grandma Du passed away earlier this year, they allowed the girl to change her surname to Du.
Li Qianfan fell silent for a long while and asked, "What is her name now?"
Uncle Bei picked up his teacup and spilled some water on the table.
He dipped his finger in the water and wrote three characters.
Du Junlin!
Du Junlin—
Under the same sky, in a forest.
Two women were talking.
One was petite, with hair that was somewhat white, but her face was still as charming as a mature woman.
The other was a girl in her early twenties.
The girl was wearing a training uniform, with black combat boots, her hands behind her back, her back to the "mature woman," gazing towards Qingyun.
"Junlin."
Ya Qing said, "I asked you out of the camp this time to tell you the latest news about that child."
Du Junlin didn't turn around and said softly, "Auntie Ya Qing, please speak."
Ya Qing said, "He has already become a live-in son-in-law to someone in Qingyun, Tian Dong. And if I'm not mistaken, he will soon send his wife's name to Sijiu Li Family Village to be entered into the clan registry and enshrined in the ancestral hall."
Du Junlin's back trembled instantly, and she slowly turned around.
Ya Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Beautiful—
As cold as Du Junlin was beautiful.
A cold glint flickered in Du Junlin's pupils as they shifted, "Can I kill him?"
Ya Qing shook her head, "No."
Du Junlin asked, "Just because his grandfather is Li Nanfang, his grandmother is Xuan Yuan King Yang Xiao. His father is Li Xiao, and his mother is the God of War Li Wujiang?"
Ya Qing replied, "He has another identity."
Du Junlin asked, "What identity?"
"He is the village chief of Sijiu Li Family Village."
Ya Qing said, "Even though he went to Kunlun at the age of eight, for Li Family Village, he is their absolute soul. No one, let alone you, not even his own mother Li Wujiang, would dare to kill him. Otherwise, Li Family Village, with its terrifying power, would mobilize its entire force, and it would be a fight to the death."
Du Junlin looked up at the sky again and asked dreamily, "Then, can I cut off his limbs and keep him in a jar?"
Whoosh—
A gust of wind suddenly blew.
It carried Du Junlin's words, over mountains and rivers.
It arrived at the window of room 203 in Jin Tan Ren Jia, Qingyun, Tian Dong, and blew in.
Staring at the words "Du Junlin," Li Qianfan, who had been silent for a long time, inexplicably shivered.
Uncle Bei gestured again, "Qianfan, Du Junlin was trained by Kunlun Xuan Yuan, Loulan Mo Xie, Misty Small Village, and the demon from the East Ocean, Ya Qing. The top women of the Eastern Land doted on her because she was your fiancée! She was being groomed to be the second Li Wujiang. Although you grew up by your grandmother's side, you are no match for her."
He paused.
Uncle Bei once again extended his finger, dipped it in water, and wrote four large characters on the table.
She can kill you!
