After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 643 It’s hard to say and it’s not nice to hear

Jing Qiu looked at Li Shiwen. She didn't know whether her nephew knew about Zhou Dan's past.

Moreover, if Zhou Dan and He Zhizhou sit at the same table for a family dinner in the future, the scene will be so embarrassing just thinking about it.

Furthermore, given the status of the Li family, if outsiders knew in the future that the younger brother's wife was the ex-girlfriend of the eldest sister-in-law's husband, such a confusing relationship would definitely attract criticism and gossip from others. Where would the Li family put their face then?

Li Hongxing keenly noticed that Jing Qiu was hesitant to speak, and asked: "Jing Qiu, do you have anything to say?"

Jing Qiu raised his eyes and looked at Li Hongxing. Since they arrived at Li Garden, the smile on the eldest brother Li Hongxing's face had never faded. It was not difficult to see that he approved of his son's marriage.

But there were some things she still had to say, even if it might offend her eldest brother.

After thinking for a moment, Jing Qiu slowly said: "Brother, I have also met Zhou Dan. She is indeed a good girl, but..."

Li Hongxing looked at the tangled expression on Jing Qiu's face and immediately asked, "Just what?"

Jing Qiu turned his gaze to Li Shiwen and said solemnly: "Shiwen, did you know that Zhou Dan and the prefect had dated before?"

When Li Shiwen heard Jing Qiu ask this, the smile on his face froze instantly.

He stared straight at Jing Qiu, showing dissatisfaction in front of his elders for the first time in his life, and his tone was a bit cold and hard: "Aunt, Dandan is my wife now. Her past is long gone. What do you mean by bringing up the past today and talking about this matter in front of me?"

The air seemed to be frozen in an instant, and Jing Qiu could clearly feel the displeasure emanating from his elder brother and Shiwen.

It does hurt to talk about this on a day like today, but if some things are not made clear, it may only cause more trouble in the future.

She forced a stiff smile and looked at Li Hongxing and Li Shiwen: "Brother, Shiwen, we are all family, so I won't hide it.

My sister-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law were lovers. It's not good to talk about this relationship if it gets out. Our Li family is also a well-known family. It's inevitable that people will talk about it when we go out. This..."

Jing Qiu knew that those ladies had nothing to do on weekdays and loved to gossip about each other's families. Whenever she thought about how other people would look at her family when she went out in the future, she would feel uncomfortable.

After Jing Qiu finished speaking, Li Shiwen blushed and was about to argue, but Li Hongxing raised his hand to signal him to be quiet. The moment his palm fell heavily, it was as if the argument was paused.

Li Shiwen looked at his father and understood the signal in his eyes. He had to purse his lips and swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Although his expression still showed a bit of stubbornness, he did not say anything else.

Li Hongxing looked at Jing Qiu and Li Ronghua with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Ronghua, I understand what Jing Qiu means. Before I go to the girl's house to propose marriage, you should also tell me your opinion."

In his heart, Li Ronghua didn't actually care about the fact that Li Shiwen's wife had a relationship with He Zhizhou.

After all, he is just Shiwen's uncle. As long as his elder brother and Shiwen himself don't mind, he really has no right to interfere.

When Jing Qiu said those words just now, he instinctively wanted to stop him, but Jing Qiu spoke too quickly. By the time he reacted, Jing Qiu had almost finished speaking. It would have seemed deliberate to try to dissuade him.

Li Ronghua saw the dissatisfaction with Jing Qiu in his elder brother Li Hongxing's eyes, and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over: "Brother, I have no objection at all! You have a good eye for choosing a daughter-in-law. Since you have nodded, this girl must be one in a million."

These words really made Li Hongxing's expression relax, and a smile finally appeared on his lips again. His younger brother finally knew what was important.

He turned to Jing Qiu, his expression serious, and said word by word: "I will only tell you about Zhou Dan and Shi Wen once.

Zhou Dan is Shiwen's wife, and also the daughter-in-law that I, Li Hongxing, have chosen. When she and the prefect were dating, they were both single, innocent, and had not crossed the line in the slightest.

Now, just because the prefect married Xuan Bao, my son has lost the right to pursue happiness?"

Li Hongxing stared at Jing Qiu with a sharp gaze, his tone full of sarcasm: "Why, does Shiwen's marriage make you feel ashamed and embarrassed? If you think that being involved with our Li family will lose your face, you can just announce to the public that you don't recognize me as your elder brother, nor do you recognize Shiwen as your nephew."

These words were so powerful that the whole living room fell into a dead silence, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly. Jing Qiu's face turned pale.

Given Li Hongxing's status, if Jing Qiu really dared to say such things outside, she would probably be completely expelled from the upper-class social circle in an instant.

After all, from ancient times to the present, wealth has always been an appendage of power. No matter how rich one is, in the face of absolute power, it is nothing but an insignificant existence.

Seeing that no one dared to speak again, Li Hongxing looked at Jing Qiu again, his tone unquestionable: "Let me make it clear in advance, if anyone brings up these meaningless and trivial things again in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Hongxing has always been kind to Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu. After all, the eldest brother is like a father. This is the first time he has criticized them so harshly.

However, today is the auspicious day to propose marriage to Zhou Dan's family, so after saying that, Li Hongxing suppressed his displeasure, not wanting to ruin the joyous mood because of this dispute, but his eyes still revealed an irrefutable majesty.

Li Hongxing looked at his watch and his expression suddenly brightened: "Yusen will be here in about 20 minutes. Once he arrives, we will set off to the Zhou family to propose marriage."

As he spoke, he patted Li Shiwen's shoulder lovingly, half teasing and half helpless, "This kid secretly got the marriage certificate with Xiao Zhou without even telling her parents. We have to make amends to the Zhou family today."

Seeing his elder brother's expression soften, Li Ronghua immediately smiled and said, "As long as the Zhou family agrees to this marriage, even if we have to humble ourselves and apologize today, it will be worth it!"

They originally thought that they would encounter some difficulties when they went to the Zhou family to propose marriage. After all, Shiwen was too rude and they could understand that he would be bullied a little. However, they did not expect that the proposal process would be surprisingly smooth.

The night before, when Zhou Dan returned home, he saw his parents sitting at the dining table eating dinner.

When Zhou's mother saw her coming back, she hurriedly asked, "Are you hungry? If you are, wash your hands and eat!"

Zhou Dan hung her bag on the hanger, put on slippers and walked into the restaurant. She glanced at the two plates of green vegetables and a bowl of soup on the table. There was not even a trace of meat. She couldn't help but complain, "Mom, are you losing weight again?

Then, looking at the bland vegetarian soup in his father's bowl, he said, "Dad, Mom, how about I take you to a restaurant for a big meal?"
