Because of Xu Xuezi’s appearance, everything became clear.
It turned out that everything about Gu Yecheng during this time was orchestrated by Xu Xuezi.
In other words, Young Master Gu was not fickle-hearted at all, and no one could challenge his inheritance rights.
Of course, everyone was no fool, and they still held their own judgments about the reality of the situation.
Su Peng saw Yin Li sitting at the factory gate, lost in thought, and thought she was unwell, "What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling ill? If you’re unwell, you should go back and let you take half a day off."
Yin Li shook her head, "I am fine. I just miss my home. I have an older brother at home, and I don’t know how he’s doing. I wonder if he is worried and panicked not being able to find me."
Today was Men Chao and Miss Xu’s big wedding day.
Miss Xu was considerate and aware of her feelings for Men Chao, and didn’t want to cause her distress; therefore, she arranged for her to be here.
Marriage, haha, Men Chao got married.
It was she and Men Chao who were childhood sweethearts.
She and Men Chao met in the orphanage, then were both chosen by old Xu to join the Xu family, where they studied and trained together.
In her heart, Men Chao had long surpassed the existence of a brother; she wanted to be with him forever.
But her wish would never be fulfilled.
From now on, Men Chao’s wife would be Miss Xu, and she would forever be just a sister with no blood relation.
It was good that he married Miss Xu, at least for Men Chao, it was not a bad thing.
As long as it was a word from Men Chao, or if it benefited him, she would carry it out, even if it cost her life.
"Do you have a phone at home, or do you remember the address? You could call your brother or write him a letter back," Su Peng suggested, seeing the gloomy look on Yin Li’s face.
"We don’t have a phone at home, and my brother’s living situation is unstable; it’s uncertain whether he’d receive it," Yin Li patted the seat beside her, "If you don’t mind, sit with me for a while."
"If you’re really worried, why don’t you go back? If you are short of money, I will lend it to you." Being out of touch with family must feel terrible.
Like him, even though he knew his sister was doing well in the Imperial Capital, he still worried she might be bullied outside.
Perhaps that’s just what siblings are like, no matter where they are, they still care about each other.
"Silly," Yin Li suddenly felt better hearing his words, "Do you care about every girl ?"
Su Peng felt slightly embarrassed, "Of course not, I see you as if you’re homeless, and I feel pity for you."
Yin Li looked at his big face, robust figure, and those naïve eyes; a smile appeared on her lips, "There are too many pitiful women in the world; you can’t feel sorry for all."
Su Peng scratched his head, "I can’t see other women, but anyway, I have to go back to Lihua Village this afternoon; didn’t you say you wanted to see my hometown?"
Su Peng’s last sentence was almost inaudible.
"You’re taking me to your hometown?" Yin Li’s face lit up with excitement, "Aren’t you afraid of what the people in your village...."
"Hey, you’re overthinking it; I’m just going back to get some goods."
Yin Li fell asleep not long after getting in the vehicle.
Perhaps it was because the person beside her made her let down her guard and relax her defenses completely, allowing her to sleep.
Watching her sleeping face, Su Peng felt a warmth in his heart, and he reduced his speed a bit.
When Yin Li woke up, they had only passed through the town, and she couldn’t help yawning, "How come we haven’t arrived yet?"
"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I slowed down. Have you not been sleeping well on your own lately?" Su Peng asked, noticing how sleepy she was.
"I haven’t been sleeping well; every time I close my eyes, I see those people selling me," Yin Li said, looking out the window, her expression distracted.
In fact, those days, every time she closed her eyes, she saw Men Chao and Miss Xu in each other’s arms.
Thinking about that scene, she would become intolerable and sleepless, staying awake until dawn.
"Don’t worry, such situations will never occur again," Su Peng reassured, looking ahead, "Why don’t you come live in the dormitory? There are many people there, so you won’t have to be afraid."
"No need, I’m naturally not sociable, I fear I wouldn’t get along with them," Yin Li surely wouldn’t stay in the dormitory; with too many people talking, it wouldn’t be a good thing for her.
Upon arriving in Lihua Village, just as Yin Li anticipated, indeed someone approached to chat with her, "Miss, where are you from? Are you also a worker for their family?"
The fact that Guaizi’s family owned a factory in the county town was no secret, and everyone knew about it.
However, the other party was too old and didn’t speak Mandarin, so Yin Li couldn’t understand what she was saying, and could only smile in response.
