Chapter 121: Really Can't Get Excited
Hui Ji walked up to Sun Han Yue and said, "Big sister, this is Li Yi. We've brought him here."
Sun Hanyue walked around Du Haibo in a circle, furrowed his brow and said: "It doesn't look like it! I remember Li Yi wasn't this tall, did you guys make a mistake?"
"There shouldn't be! He has already admitted that he is Li Yi." Hei Tie replied.
The three people's conversation was overheard by Du Haibo, who hastily explained: "Sister, I'm Du Haibo, we've met once before, you forgot?"
"You are Du Haibo, your voice sounds a bit like his." Sun Hanyue frowned and said, "But you look very different from him."
"I'm Du Haibo! If you don't believe me, look at my phone, there's a photo of me." Du Haibo took out his mobile phone from his pocket and flipped through it to find a photo to show the other person.
Sun Hanyue took a look and said slowly: "You really are Du Haibo, sorry, we made a mistake."
Du Haibo could only admit his bad luck, he didn't dare to argue with the killer, and said: "It's nothing, I just want to know when you can get rid of Li Yi." He put all his hatred on Li Yi, if it wasn't for Li Yi, would he have spent so much money in vain? Would he be beaten up like this now?
"Today, in order to help you find Li Yi, we lost a lot of business. You tell us how to compensate for it!" Sun Han Yue sat on the stool, her face gloomy with inquiry.
"What? Compensation again?" Du Haibo of course knew what compensation referred to, and bitterly complained, "But I really don't have any money left, this isn't my fault either."
"That can't be helped, without money we can't continue with the task." Sun Hanyue shrugged.
Du Haibo smiled wryly and gritted his teeth: "Alright, I won't take on this task."
"It's really sorry, I hope we can cooperate happily next time." Sun Hanyue said to Huiji and Hei Tie Dao, "What are you two still dawdling for? Don't send Du Shao back yet?"
Du Haibo didn't dare let them send him back, what if they asked for road expenses? He hastily said: "No need, I can go back myself." After finishing speaking, he limped and staggered towards the door.
In the basement, Hei Tie and Hui Ji couldn't help but laugh. The former gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you're too awesome, to think of this method."
"Alright, mission accomplished. Let's get out of here as soon as possible. You guys go train those security guards too!" Sun Han Yue took out her phone and sent a text message to Li Yi.
Both of them knew Sun Han Yue's plan and that they would no longer be running the killer organization in the future. Hui Ji couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to give this up?"
"Do you want to always live a life of licking the blade? Sun Han Yue retorted, "Don't you want to get married, don't you want to take a wife, don't you want to have children?"
"I......" stuttered and stumbled over my words, unsure of how to respond.
"I know you all think that after we switched careers, the money we earned wasn't bad either. If you don't want to work with me anymore, I can give you a portion of the money," said Sun Han Yue.
The two of them exchanged a glance, neither showing any intention of leaving, and said in unison: "Sister, we'll follow you."
As for Du Haibo's side, after receiving simple treatment at the hospital, he received a phone call.
"Haibo! Are you at school? Mom has some good news to tell you."
For Du Haibo now, he just wants to get rid of Li Yi as soon as possible. Before the other party dies, there is no good news at all. "Mom, what's so exciting?"
"In the evening, I invited Chen Xiaofei and his family of three to have dinner together. At that time, your father and I will both go, and our two families will discuss your marriage with Chen Xiaofei." Du Haibo's mother said with a smile.
If it were a month ago, this would be great news, but now I just can't get excited about it. Du Haibo said calmly: "I know, I'll definitely go over tonight."
"What's wrong? From your tone, it seems like you're not happy at all?" Du Haibo's mother said sullenly, "For this matter, I've pulled a lot of strings. You'd better dress up nicely tonight."
"Handsome, can I be handsome now?" Du Haibo thought to himself, he helplessly smiled wryly and immediately hung up the phone.
At this time, it was already the time for school to be dismissed in the afternoon. Chen Xiaofei and Li Yi walked shoulder to shoulder towards the outside of the school. Just as they were about to leave the school gate, Li Yi's mobile phone rang.
After taking out his mobile phone, Li Yi saw it was an unfamiliar number and said, "May I ask who this is?"
"I'm your aunt, Xiaofei's mother. Are you with Xiaofei? I need to find her." Fangna's voice came from the phone.
Li Yi was taken aback. How did Fang Na know his number? He still handed the phone to Chen Xiaofei, lowering his voice and saying: "Your mom called, how does he know we're together?"
"I told my mom that we would leave the school gate together after school, and if she has anything to do, just call you. Chen Xiaofei pressed the receiver and continued, "You also know that my family is busy with many things recently, who knows what will happen on my father's side? If there's an emergency, it's best to notify me in a timely manner."
After saying this, Chen Xiaofei picked up the phone and said, "Mom, is there something you want me for?"
"Don't attend late self-study anymore, there's a dinner gathering waiting for you, you must go." Fang Na said in a commanding tone.
"Mom! I'm in high school now, what dinner party are you asking me to attend?" Chen Xiaofi frowned and said, "I won't go, I still have evening self-study later!"
"What's good about having a late-night study session? I've already helped you ask for leave." Fang Na said.
Chen Xiaofei was so depressed that she couldn't bear it, but didn't want to refuse directly, saying: "I still have to review at night, I really don't have time to go."
"Nana, this concerns the future of your father and me. If you don't go, I'll be arrested. Do you want to see your mother in prison?" Fang Nana pleaded, "You know that to save your father, I borrowed 500,000 yuan from the bank. The money is now with the public security bureau and can't be retrieved for the time being. But the bank is asking me to pay back the money now, or they'll sue me."
"Mom, are you sure you're not fooling me?" Chen Xiaofi asked nervously.
"What's going on now? Am I still deceiving you?" Fang Na said, "I ask you for the last time, are you going or not?"
Chen Xiaofei was a filial child. She thought for a moment and said: "I can go too, tell me who we're having dinner with tonight."
"Your classmate, Du Haibo, his parents are coming tonight too, we'll have dinner together." Fang Na said straightforwardly.
Chen Xiaofei was so clever that she soon figured out what was going on and said, "I'll think about it some more and call you back later."
"You'd better think carefully! If you don't go, I'll really be caught by them. The people your father offended this time are not to be trifled with." Fang Na advised.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaofei briefly recounted the conversation just now and said: "Li Yi, what do you think we should do? It's definitely Du Haibo's family knowing about our current situation at home, then giving money to my mother, and using the opportunity of eating together to discuss marriage. I don't want to go, can you think of a way to help me get 500,000..."
"Why not go, someone will send it to your doorstep." Li Yi said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.
Chen Xiaofei let out a cold snort, glared at Li Yi and said in an ill-tempered tone: "Who behaves like you? I'm your girlfriend now. Do you really want me to marry him?"
"Chen Dàměi nǚ, how can I bear to let you marry him!" Li Yi said resolutely. "Even if you go tonight, they won't settle the marriage."
"How did you know?" Chen Xiaofei said with some concern, "Why don't you come with me tonight!"
Li Yi gave her a reassuring look and said calmly, "How about this? You go eat first. If they really want to settle the marriage, you can make an excuse to go to the restroom and bring me along. If they don't mention the marriage, just treat it as going to watch a good show, will that do?"
Chen Xiaofei was confused and couldn't help but ask: "What play are you watching? What are you talking about?"
"Haha! You'll know when the time comes, next I'll get Xiaoliang to drive us over." Li Yi pulled Chen Xiaofei's hand and slowly walked towards the outside of the campus.
The afterglow of sunset shone on both of them as they walked hand in hand, just like a loving couple who had been together for many years.
At this time, Chen Xiaofei's father, Chen Ping, also returned home. He was about to change his shoes when Fang Na said, "No need to change, we're going out later."
"What's going out for?" Chen Ping asked in puzzlement.
Fang Na didn't respond to his words, but instead asked: "I'm asking you, when can we get back the 500,000?"
"They are still at the police station, they say that they want to use it as evidence against each other, and for a while, they won't be able to get it back." Chen Ping knew someone was trying to frame him, this was just an excuse.
"The court called me today and said the bank is going to sue us. If we can't return the money within three days, they'll seize our house." Fang Na asked seriously, "Can you get 500,000 yuan in three days?"
"It's too urgent in three days, even if I go to borrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow it." Chen Ping sighed and said angrily, "These bastards, they actually want me to have no home to return to."
"You can't get the money, no worries, I have!" Fang Na said, taking out a box from beside the sofa and opening it to reveal a whole box of 100-yuan bills.
Chen Ping was stunned and asked: "How did you get so much money?"
"This afternoon, Du's family came to me, gave me this money and said they wanted to have dinner together tonight, so I agreed." Fang Na replied.
Chen Ping's face sank, and he stood up saying: "Nonsense, do you know what they want to do?"
"I know they want Xiaofei and Du Haibo to get engaged, but let's just say it's just dinner, no big deal if we don't mention the engagement." Fang Na thought to herself.
Chen Ping did not think so, saying: "You are at a disadvantage in this matter, I saw you bring it up at the time, how do you explain?"
"If it doesn't work out, just agree to it first. Anyway, they're still young and won't get married for a few years yet." Fang Na said, "I've also seen the photo of that Du family's son, he looks good and his grades are excellent, always ranking first in class. Plus their family conditions, if our Xiao Fei marries him, she'll have no worries about food and drink in the future."
"In my opinion as a woman, I don't think Du Haibo is excellent." Chen Ping replied.
Fang Na frowned and said gloomily, "Didn't you tell me before that among Xiaofei's classmates, Du Jiaxiao was the most excellent?"
"That was in the past, but it's not now." Chen Ping had a person's figure emerge in his mind, and these few days of experiences made him look at Li Yi with new eyes.
Fang Na couldn't think of anyone better than Du Haibo, and asked somewhat discontentedly: "Then tell me, who can match up to our family's Xiao Fei?"
"Li Yi!" Chen Ping said a name that Fang Na did not expect, his voice was not loud, but he said very firmly, "This kid will make great achievements in the future, Du Haibo is good, but far from him."
"Even if Li Yi saved you, we're grateful and all, but your daughter's future isn't his wife, how can his family background compare to the Du family?" Fang Na didn't think Li Yi was worthy of Chen Xiaofei. She changed the subject, "Xiaofei has already agreed, I don't care what you think, tonight's dinner party is a must-attend."
"Did Xiaofei agree?" Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. As someone who had been through similar experiences, he could naturally tell that his daughter's relationship with Li Yi was not ordinary. But why did she agree? Suddenly, he thought of a reason and believed that his daughter must have wanted to use the opportunity tonight to clear things up with Du Haibo, and felt relieved in her heart. He nodded and said, "Since my daughter has agreed, I don't have any objections either."
At six o'clock in the evening, Fuxing Restaurant, Chen and Du families arrived early.
Du's family is very good at calculating their interests, hoping to use this matter to settle the marriage, but will the result be as beautiful as they imagined?
Neither the Chen family nor the Du family could have imagined in their wildest dreams what was about to happen next.
