Chapter 273 Sister-in-law
Li Ze sat on the sofa in the manor's living room.
He saw Ruoran walk in.
Ruoran was wearing a very beautiful new outfit.
It was a beige trench coat, perfectly tailored, which brought out Ruoran's elegant temperament.
She was also carrying several shopping bags, all filled with new clothes.
Li Ze's eyes lit up immediately.
He stood up, walked up to Ruoran, and looked her up and down.
Li Ze said with a smile:
"Honey, you look great in this outfit. Did you just buy it today?"
Ruoran blushed again when she heard Li Ze call her wife.
However, she was in a good mood today, so she didn't correct him.
If she nodded, she would reply:
"Yes. My brother and sister-in-law insisted on dragging me inside to buy some. I said no, but they wouldn't listen."
"My brother said that you've helped our family so much, and he really wants to thank you properly. He can't afford to treat you to a fancy meal, so he can only buy me a few clothes as a small token of his appreciation."
Hearing these words, Li Ze felt very happy.
He knew that his brother-in-law, Zhang Jianguo, was a very honest and down-to-earth person.
Although he is rich now, he has not forgotten the kindness Li Ze and Ruoran showed to his family in the past.
He did not take Li Ze's help for granted just because Li Ze had become the world's richest man.
The brother-in-law always remembered this kindness.
This kind of affection between family members is the most precious.
Li Ze looked at Ruoran and said very seriously:
"Brother, you're just too polite. But this is a great buy; you look absolutely stunning in it."
"Wear more bright-colored clothes like this in the future; it will make you look more energetic."
Ruoran felt a little embarrassed by his praise.
She picked up her shopping bags and turned to walk upstairs.
"Alright, alright, you're so sweet-talking. I'll go upstairs and put the clothes away first."
Li Ze watched Ruoran's retreating figure as she went upstairs, his smile never fading.
……
at the same time.
Dragon Kingdom.
Han City.
Today is March 2nd.
Han City University has officially started classes for two days.
The atmosphere at school has been very tense these past two days, with everyone busy attending classes and reviewing.
Because it's the beginning of the school year, many teachers will test students on the knowledge they learned in the previous semester, which is commonly known as the "opening exam".
This is to check whether students have forgotten what they learned during the winter break.
After class at noon.
Li Mengli and Zhao Jiajia walked out of the teaching building together.
Both of them were carrying books and chatting as they walked.
Li Mengli took out her phone and glanced at the screen.
She turned her head, looked at Zhao Jiajia, and said very happily:
"Jiajia, guess what?"
"I just passed by the teaching building of my brother's college. I glanced into their classrooms."
"Guess what I saw?"
Zhao Jiajia shook her head:
"What did you see? Did your brother skip school again to drive a sports car?"
Li Mengli shook her head vigorously.
She answered loudly:
"No! Absolutely not!"
"I saw him sitting quietly in the classroom, and he was listening very attentively to the teacher!"
"He had textbooks on his desk, and he was taking notes with a pen in his hand!"
Zhao Jiajia was also very surprised to hear this news.
She opened her eyes wide and said:
"Really? Your brother actually changed his gender?"
"Didn't he say before that he has a billion yuan in pocket money and doesn't need to study at all?"
"Why has he suddenly become so well-behaved?"
Li Mengli sighed, her tone tinged with relief:
"I also find it strange. But he has indeed been much more well-behaved these past few days."
"He not only stopped driving that red Ferrari around the school, but he also got up very early every morning and went to class on time."
"Judging from his appearance, it seems like he's really gotten back to his studies and is planning to focus on them."
In fact, Li Mengli knew very well why her younger brother had changed so much.
This is largely due to what happened in Beijing a few days ago.
That fear of facing life and death must have left a very deep impression on the younger brother.
These vivid examples were like a heavy hammer blow to Li Menghan's head.
It brought him to his full senses.
Make him understand that in this world, money can buy many things, such as luxury cars and prestige.
But money can never buy true security or real confidence.
Only when you have strength and knowledge can you truly protect yourself and those around you.
Li Mengli felt that her younger brother had truly grown up after this incident.
……
Thinking of this, Li Mengli took out her phone.
She opened WeChat and found her father Li Ze's chat window.
She typed on the screen with her fingers, telling Li Ze in detail how her younger brother had been studying diligently these past two days.
"Dad, I have good news for you. Menghan has been behaving himself these past few days. He's been going to class on time every day and hasn't been racing cars anymore. He's in the classroom right now, listening attentively to the lesson."
Not long after I sent the message, Li Ze replied.
Li Ze replied on WeChat:
"Well done. Looks like this kid's finally getting it."
"You've done a great job too. Keep an eye on him for me during this time. Make sure he focuses on his studies."
Li Mengli was overjoyed to see her father's reply.
She replied with a "No problem" emoji.
At this moment, Huo Qian also came out of another teaching building.
She was wearing a light-colored knit sweater and a long skirt today, and she looked very gentle and graceful.
When she saw Li Mengli and Zhao Jiajia, she immediately walked over with a smile.
"Mengli, Jiajia, get out of class is over."
When Li Mengli saw Huo Qian, she quickly went up to her and took Huo Qian's hand.
She looked at Huo Qian with a mysterious expression on her face:
"Qianqian, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Huo Qian felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and asked:
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Li Mengli leaned close to Huo Qian's ear, lowered her voice, and whispered:
"Tell me the truth. Don't you think that ever since my brother went to that abandoned base to save you guys that day?"
"He suddenly became much closer to you?"
Upon hearing this question, Huo Qian's face immediately turned red.
She lowered her head and rubbed the book in her hands somewhat embarrassedly.
But she did not deny it.
Huo Qian nodded gently and replied in a very soft voice:
"Hmm...it seems so."
"These past two days, he's been proactively chatting with me on WeChat every day. He asks if I went to class and what I want to eat for lunch."
"Moreover, he no longer avoids me like before. Yesterday afternoon after class, he even came to wait for me downstairs in our teaching building, saying he wanted to go to the library with me to read books."
Upon hearing these words, Li Mengli clapped her hands excitedly:
"I knew it! My eyes are sharp!"
Li Mengli looked at Huo Qian and continued:
"And let me tell you, it's not just that he's getting closer to you. He and that Fan Xi are getting further and further apart now."
"I heard from my roommate that Fan Xi has contacted him several times in the past few days, trying to ask him out. But he made up excuses to refuse each time."
"I think he has finally let go of Fan Xi this time."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qian felt a surge of sweet emotion welling up inside her.
Li Mengli looked at Huo Qian's shy yet happy expression.
She reached out and patted Huo Qian's shoulder forcefully.
She said loudly:
"Qianqian, this is wonderful news! Don't worry, as your older sister, I will definitely do my best to help you two get together!"
"I've decided you're the one for my brother's wife! That Fan Xi, get out of here!"
When Huo Qian heard the words "sister-in-law," her face turned as red as a ripe apple.
She quickly covered Li Mengli's mouth and whispered:
"Oh, Mengli, don't talk nonsense. What sister-in-law? It's not even close to happening yet."
Zhao Jiajia watched the two of them playfully bickering from the side.
She laughed along with him.
She said loudly:
"Haha, Qianqian, don't be shy. I think Mengli is right. Menghan is definitely completely smitten with you now. It's only a matter of time before you two get together."
The three of them walked along the tree-lined path on campus, chatting and laughing.
The sunlight shone on them.
Everything looked so wonderful.
Young people's feelings always take root and sprout slowly without them realizing it.
If Li Ze, who is far away in the United States, knew about this, he would definitely be very supportive.
After all, Huo Qian is far superior to Dai Yuqian in terms of family background and character.
She's even much better than that Fan Xi.
If her son could be with her, that would truly be a perfect thing.
