Hearing the lady's words, Li Du suddenly understood.
This lady was the bride-to-be who had been harassed by the ferocious-looking hooligan. She was dressed differently then, more glamorous and sexy. Li Du did not pay much attention to her appearance, so he did not recognize her.
In the morning, Li Du had noticed that the hooligan was harassing a lady. He did not even have time to pay attention to that before he got into a conflict with the hooligan.
The conflict was a little out of the blue, and it had nothing to do with Li Du. He thought he could be at ease after the conflict was resolved. He did not expect there to be more trouble.
Li Du shook his head at the lady and said, "Oh, I know …"
The lady's face lit up. She interrupted him and asked, "How much money do you have now?"
Li Du explained, "You misunderstood. Let's not talk about the bride-to-be first. What happened in the morning was ridiculous, and it has nothing to do with you."
The red-haired lady stared at him and said, "How can it have nothing to do with me? You offended those hooligans because of me. Did they give you any trouble? They are very bad. They must have given you and your friend trouble, right? "
Li Du said, "Yes, they did, but it has nothing to do with you. Don't misunderstand, I have no feelings for you. I'm actually married."
The red-haired lady looked at him sympathetically and said, "Then your marriage must be very unhappy."
Li Du almost choked on her words. Stephen and the rest laughed and surrounded them. They looked like they were going to watch the drama unfold.
Sophie dragged her voice and said, "Oh, is your marriage very unhappy?"
The red-haired lady looked at the distance between her and Li Du and immediately understood their relationship.
She walked forward and said to Sophie, "Marriage needs to be managed, Madam. Love can be maintained by beauty, but marriage can't. It needs feelings."
Stephen winked and said, "Yes, marriage needs to be managed by feelings. Li, your wife was taught a lesson by your concubine."
Li Du waved his hand as if he was shooing away chickens. "Get lost!"
Stephen and the rest laughed. They did not let go of the opportunity to watch the drama. After being chased away by Li Du, they came back again.
Li Du said to the lady, "Your name is Vika? I'm serious. I didn't get into a conflict with that hooligan this morning because of you … "
"I know, he was the one who provoked you," the lady said with a smile.
Li Du nodded. "Yes."
The girl continued, "Thank you very much for lowering yourself to his level for my sake. If it weren't for you, I would have been in a lot of trouble. So many people saw me being bullied by hooligans, and only you dared to fight back. You are a real man. "
Li Du felt that he couldn't explain himself and said, "Don't, don't, don't, you're mistaken, really …"
"But your English is pretty good," Steve praised.
Li Du was also puzzled. This girl had a level of English that did not match the small Russian town. She spoke English fluently, but that was not the point. The point was that he was really not interested in this girl.
The girl was very determined. She wanted him to buy her, which made him feel helpless. Damn, he had heard of arranged marriages, but he had never heard of forced marriages. This trip to Russia had really opened his eyes.
Things became complicated. The girl was a stubborn person, and Steve and the Ford brothers teased her, making things more and more difficult to solve.
As Li Du's biggest helper, Sophie chose to watch from the sidelines.
Li Du gave her a pleading look. Sophie said coldly, "Solve the trouble you caused yourself. It's one thing to go to the bridal fair behind my back, but you even provoked a girl? You're really something. "
Vika was unhappy again and said, "Your attitude towards him is too cold. If you say something like that at this time, it will seriously hurt your relationship."
"Your wife is being taught a lesson by your concubine again," Steve said with a grin.
Li Du was very unhappy that this guy kept stirring up trouble. He glared at Steve and suddenly thought of an idea, an idea that could help him get out of trouble.
Redirect the trouble.
It could be seen that Vika was a little narcissistic. She had a strong and persistent personality. Once she decided on something, it was hard for others to change her mind.
Li Du coughed and pulled Vika to the side sternly.
Steve and the others whistled and laughed. "Wow, Li, you're too daring. Holding another girl's hand in front of your fiancée. You're finished, you're finished!"
Li Du ignored them and said to Vika, "I'll tell you the truth, good girl. The conflict between me and the hooligan this morning was not my intention. Someone asked me to do it."
"It's that handsome guy. His name is Steve. He's my good friend. He fell in love with you at first sight at the fair this morning. But he's very shy. When he saw the hooligan pestering you, he asked me to stand up for him."
The red-haired girl showed a sullen expression and said, "I'm not stupid, Mr. Li. I don't know what's going on. If I'm really thinking too highly of myself, please tell me directly. Are you trying to bully me because I'm a stupid girl by saying this now?"
Li Du was embarrassed but he felt wronged. How many times had he said it? This is a misunderstanding and you're thinking too much. But you didn't believe me just now.
Li Du gritted his teeth and said, "I'm telling the truth. Steve is a naive guy. He's not good at expressing himself, but he does have feelings for you."
Steve was a little jumpy just now and it was hard for Vika not to notice him. Hence, she did not believe Li Du's words.
Of course, anyone with a normal IQ would not believe such words.
The red-haired girl said seriously, "That person called Steve, he's very handsome. I can feel that he's passionate about life. He's a good person."
"But I'm not looking for you because of your looks. I'm looking for you because you're a good person with integrity. I've never thought of marrying a handsome guy or a millionaire. I just want to marry a real man and run our family together. I think you're that kind of person."
The girl's honesty and courage made Li Du look at her in a different light. He really wanted to introduce her to Steve. Although they did not talk much and did not know each other well, from the looks of it, this was a woman who was extremely suitable to be his other half.
Strong, brave, honest, smart, not greedy, daring to love and hate. This girl had some qualities that men admired.
Hence, he said firmly, "I'm honored to receive your admiration. But I already have a fiancée and our relationship is very deep. I swear to you, Vika, Steve is the kind of man you're looking for. "
Vika looked at him deeply and then turned to look at Steve.
Li Du said, "Today, that hooligan found a bunch of rascals on motorcycles to find trouble with me. Steve was with me the whole time and faced them bravely. He never backed down from the start!"
The red-haired girl nodded resolutely. Steve, who was far away, felt that something was not right.
