The wrongdoings people commit are all their own decisions. Even if they're having a hard time now, they have no right to blame others.
However, there are always those shameless people who make excuses for their mistakes.
Zhang Ming not only didn't think he was wrong but even believed it was all Li Chengfu's fault.
"What's wrong with us? We're just doing business. Why can you deal in antiques and collectibles, but I can't?"
"No one wants to stop you," Li Chengfu said with an extremely complex expression on his face.
He didn't even know what to say.
After a long while, Li Chengfu said with a bitter smile, "Back then, when you guys were following me, although I didn't pay you much, it was enough for you to live on. Moreover, I even bought your food, accommodation, and clothes. That money was more than enough for you. Later, you guys deceived so many people and then just ran away. It was me who paid back the money for you."
Li Chengfu took a deep breath. "Ask yourselves, have I ever chased after you guys in the past few years? Have I ever asked you to pay back that money? But you guys came all the way here to oppose me."
Li Chengfu originally didn't want to say these things.
He considered himself to be upright and believed that even if he was wronged, the truth would eventually come out, and there was no need for him to defend himself.
But today, Li Chengfu suddenly wanted to make things clear.
"Alright, I've said what should and shouldn't be said."
Li Chengfu turned around and left. Yun Fujin and the other person glanced at each other and then also left.
Zhang Ming and Zhao Sihai were left standing there, still in shock.
After a long time, Zhao Sihai said tremblingly, "Brother Zhang, did we offend someone? How about... how about we just give up?"
"Good-for-nothing!" Zhang Ming cursed. "It's just Li Chengfu. What's there to be afraid of?"
He stared hatefully at Li Chengfu's retreating back.
"Someday, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Yun Que'er heard all this from Yun Fujin's retelling and frowned worriedly.
These two people were really shameless!
They ate and drank at someone else's expense and received so many benefits. Especially Li Zhihua, who had received so much kindness and even carried Li Chengfu's surname, yet they still dared to be so arrogant.
Yun Fujin's expression was a bit tangled. "But Uncle Li didn't really say much."
Yun Que'er came back to her senses and comforted him, "It's okay. Uncle Li isn't a policeman, so of course he can't do much to them. But I think Uncle Li has his own decision in mind. We just need to relax and wait for news."
Yun Fujin looked at Li Chengfu, who had already gotten on a rickshaw in the distance, and nodded.
"Alright."
It was getting late. The art performance was over, and all the things that needed to be done were completed, so everyone could go home.
The siblings walked towards the alley entrance. Who would have thought that as soon as they turned around, they would run into an unwelcome guest.
"Little girl, you're quite something," it was Liu Zhihui.
Yun Que'er frowned slightly. Last time, she had said that they would meet again someday. She didn't expect it to be so soon.
Yun Que'er was very vigilant about Liu Zhihui's arrival and took two steps back.
"Isn't Dean Liu at the town hospital? Why did you come to our village?"
Liu Zhihui gave a soft laugh and stepped forward.
"You've already said that I'm the dean, so of course I'm different from others. I heard there was something interesting going on here, so I naturally had to come and take a look."
Yun Fujin had never seen Liu Zhihui before, but hearing Yun Que'er's address for her, he understood.
He pulled Yun Que'er behind him.
"Does Dean Liu have something to say? If so, just tell me. My sister is still young. Even if you say something, she might not understand."
Liu Zhihui's expression was full of meaning. "Young man, you underestimate your sister. Although she's young, she's not an ordinary person."
Ignoring Yun Fujin's vigilant look, she walked straight up and stared firmly into Yun Que'er's eyes.
"I heard your family is doing business. You've put in a lot of effort and made quite a big show. It must have been really hard."
After saying that, Liu Zhihui left.
Yun Fujin and Yun Que'er looked at each other, and their faces were both full of complexity.
How did Liu Zhihui know?
On the way back, Yun Que'er was always a bit absent - minded.
Ji Chengxuan saw this and quietly sat down next to Yun Que'er.
"I can see you're not in a good mood. What happened?"
"Liu Zhihui came to find me again," Yun Que'er frowned, looking a bit distracted.
"How do you think she knew what we were doing?"
Yun Que'er didn't quite understand.
They had always been very secretive in their actions. Even the secretary didn't know the details. How did Liu Zhihui know and know so much?
Ji Chengxuan thought for a while and said, "There are only two possibilities for this kind of thing. Either she hates us because of what happened last time."
Yun Que'er shivered violently. "No way! I was just the one who came up with the idea. If she hates someone, it should be your family. Why is she coming after me?"
The more Yun Que'er thought about it, the more scared she became.
This was just too much!
Seeing Yun Que'er's nervous look, Ji Chengxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You haven't even heard me finish. Since there's the first possibility, there must be a second one."
"Then hurry up and say it! Can you stop pausing like this!" Yun Que'er excitedly grabbed Ji Chengxuan's sleeve.
Ji Chengxuan saw Yun Que'er being so enthusiastic for the first time and couldn't help but want to tease her.
"It seems you're really scared. Well, if you beg me, I'll tell you."
Unexpectedly, Yun Que'er was the kind of person who would turn her back on someone immediately. She immediately let go of his sleeve.
"You can say it or not! I don't even want to hear it!"
Ji Chengxuan gasped in surprise. "How can you be like this, girl? I've never seen anyone with a worse temper than you!"
Yun Que'er snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Ji Chengxuan smiled helplessly. "Alright, alright. I'll say it. Don't be angry."
Yun Que'er's expression improved a bit, and she said awkwardly, "Alright, I'll reluctantly forgive you."
Ji Chengxuan became serious. "Anyway, I don't think Liu Zhihui really has any bad intentions."
Yun Que'er exploded. "Do you know what you're saying? If she has no bad intentions, why is she so concerned about what we're doing?"
Ji Chengxuan smiled. "But from another perspective, Liu Zhihui has only been paying attention to us. She really hasn't done anything. Let me ask you, when you want to do something bad to someone, will you tell them in advance that you're going to do it?"
"Of course not," Yun Que'er nodded subconsciously, but then quickly realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute. Who are you saying is doing something bad? You're scolding me indirectly!"
Ji Chengxuan endured a series of punches from Yun Que'er, covered his chest, and looked in pain.
"The most poisonous heart belongs to a woman. This saying is really true. I think you just want me to die."
