"Eat. Don't stand on ceremony." Li Yan gave Peng Yue a piece of chicken leg. She rarely spoke, but since Peng Yue was willing to come to her house, she couldn't neglect her and make herself seem mean.
"Thank you, Sis." Peng Yue's mouth was very sweet.
He Fang clinked glasses with hers and poured herself some wine. She smiled and asked, "Where did you graduate from, Little Peng?"
"Beijing Institute of Technology. I studied Chinese Literature." Peng Yue knew about He Fang and her husband's educational background. After all, Li Kuo often bragged about it.
He Fang smiled and said, "Shi Jingshan, right? I'm quite familiar with that place. The dean of the science faculty is an old colleague of mine. You and Li Kuo are really fated. He's still a kid and doesn't behave properly. You'll have to keep an eye on him in the future. "
Peng Yue said shyly, "She's a year younger than me. She's quite childish."
Seeing that Peng Yue didn't understand what she meant, He Fang continued, "It's his good fortune to find a partner like you. I was just talking to his brother yesterday. I don't know what he did in his previous life, but he's taken advantage of all the good things."
Peng Yue had heard a lot about his sister and cousin's extravagance from Li Kuo. She had personally visited Li Yan's shop. Seeing was believing. She was at least a millionaire, which couldn't be faked.
As for her brother's family, she had heard a lot about them. However, Li Kuo only talked about them in general most of the time, so she didn't know much about them. She only knew that they were a rich business family.
She began to observe the Li family from the moment she entered the door. The first thing that entered her eyes was the magnificent villa, the high entrance hall, and the grand door. It looked noble and elegant.
There was a row of luxury cars at the entrance. They weren't parked in the garage, nor were they covered with dust and mud. It meant that this kind of family didn't take cars that were worth millions of yuan seriously. When she entered the house, she saw that the furniture was not exquisite, but the benches, tables, and chairs were either rosewood or mahogany.
Through the kitchen's back window, she saw a lake behind it. A trickle of water flowed from the mountain into the lake, and the scenery was very beautiful.
This was definitely not something an ordinary family could have.
Therefore, he was definitely not just an ordinary rich person.
She thought about it and understood He Fang's meaning. She asked curiously, "Didn't he tell you how we met?"
He Fang, Li Yan, and the others looked at each other, feeling that there seemed to be some hidden meaning in his words. They could only look at Li Kuo.
Li Kuo shrunk his head and only laughed.
Li Yan said, "He said you met at the supermarket?"
"Looks like he didn't tell you." Peng Yue explained, "This year's Spring Festival had just ended, and we hadn't gone to work yet. I went out with my friend to watch a movie, and it was already very late when we came out of the cinema. We walked halfway, and we parted ways. At the entrance of a game hall, we met two hooligans, and he was the one who risked his life to help me out."
"You went to play games again?" Li Yan grabbed Li Kuo's ear and looked very angry. "How should I explain it to you? Have you forgotten? Do you think this is your hometown? "
"Ouch, let go, let go!" Li Kuo cried out in pain, but he could not break free. The more he struggled, the stronger Li Yan's grip became.
"No wonder I said you were limping at that stage, and there was a cut on your head! You lied to me and said that you hit the glass? "Li Yan was getting angrier as she spoke.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Peng Yue hurriedly stood up and apologized to Li Yan.
"It's not your fault." He Fang comforted Peng Yue to sit down and said to Li Yan, "You should be praised for your bravery. Let go, don't hurt your ear."
Li Kuo rubbed his red and swollen ear and said angrily, "You really did it. Ouch, it really hurts."
Li Yan said, "This is to teach you a lesson. Next time, don't be careless and don't know how to call the police!"
Li Kuo said, "You don't know the situation at that time. It was a critical moment. Where would I have the time to call the police? Besides, you said you would give me a phone, but you haven't given it to me. It was the middle of the night. How could I call the police?"
Li Yan wanted to say something, but Li He interrupted, "Alright, don't be so surprised. Isn't it fine? A man doesn't have to bleed."
Li Kuo was originally an old hooligan in school. He had never stopped for a day, and getting hurt in fights was a common occurrence.
"I'll let you go this time." Li Yan threatened, "If you dare to enter a messy place like the game hall again, it won't be as simple as arresting you. I'll call my dad and ask him to take you back to your hometown."
"I'm not stupid. I don't play games anymore." Li Kuo inadvertently glanced at Peng Yue with a smug look.
Li He finished the beer in his glass and asked with a smile, "To be honest, our Li Kuo came from the countryside. He has just entered society and doesn't know much about anything. His foundation is not very solid now. I wonder what your parents want?"
Peng Yue smiled and said, "My family is from the countryside, in Tanghekou. My household registration moved out because I went to university. It's a collective household registration. My parents live in the countryside and rely on the chestnut and apple harvest. Occasionally, they do odd jobs.
I haven't had the chance to tell you about this. "
"North of Huairou, right?" Li He asked.
"Yes." Peng Yue nodded.
Li He smiled and said, "It's a mountainous area. It's more than 100 kilometers from the city center. It's not that close."
Li Kuo hesitated for a moment and said, "We're going to get married."
"Married?" Li He frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You have to see what father-in-law thinks, right?"
Li Kuo said, "Brother, she's the only one I'll marry in this life."
Since the matter was already settled, there was no use for Li He to say anything else. He just said, "We won't interfere in matters of the heart. Since you've known each other for half a year, you should have a general understanding of him. It mainly depends on how you deal with him. He doesn't have a high education level. To be honest, there must be some estrangement. You have to consider this in the future. "
Peng Yue said, "I'm just doing it for his own good. I don't have any bad intentions."
Li Yan asked, "Have you both thought about it?"
Li Kuo raised his head and said, "I'm not a child anymore. I know what to do."
Peng Yue said, "Sis, don't worry. We can handle it."
Li He patted Li Kuo's shoulder and said with a smile, "Then hurry up and get a driver's license. I'll drive a random car outside so that you can look presentable when you meet father-in-law. Get your hair cut and get your sister to buy you some nice clothes."
"Thank you, Brother." Li Kuo was grinning from ear to ear.
Li Yan took Peng Yue's hand and said, "I've seen the house you're renting now. It's too small for two people to live in. Move to my place. I'll make room for you."
"Sis, that won't do …" Peng Yue hurriedly refused.
"You two still need to rent a house after getting married?" He Fang interrupted, "It's not for you, it's for Li Kuo. If you have a house, you'll have less resistance from your parents. Besides, your sister still has a house. Let her renovate it herself. It's urgent for you two to get married, so you two can use it first."
"Alright, it's settled then." Li Yan only had one brother, so she could only try her best. The house she was living in now was given to her by Li He. However, due to Li He's influence in the past two years, she bought a shop and a house. She was not short of a place to live. She had the ability to take care of her younger brother.
