Chapter 181: What a coincidence
Chapter 181
Everyone looked bewildered.
Mental illness?
And someone who likes sending people to mental hospitals?
These were clearly two different people, but who were they?
Everyone felt like they had missed out on some major gossip.
The classmates were anxious to know, scratching their heads and wondering what had happened and what juicy details they weren't privy to.
However, they still had some deductive abilities. The two people Shi Li had just mentioned must have both been present at the scene today.
And these two people were definitely not good characters, which was why Shi Li wanted them to turn on each other.
Some of the students who had followed the voices to the dressing room and eavesdropped outside were guessing that Bo Yiyang might be having an affair with his secretary.
Bo Yiyang had been called a scumbag by Shi Li, so one of the two bad people she mentioned was likely Bo Yiyang.
Everyone knew a bit about Bo Yiyang. He was considered the perfect child - sensible and academically excellent as a kid, and later demonstrating his business acumen after joining the company.
Whenever his family mentioned Bo Yiyang, they always added, "It's a pity he has such unreliable parents. What a shame for that child."
He seemed to be in good mental condition, so he probably wasn't the one with mental illness, but you never know, he might have some mental issues.
As for liking to send people to mental hospitals, what kind of problem was that?
Getting only half the gossip was worse than getting none at all. It was unbearable.
Song Ying and Li Yuqing, who had been whispering to each other, suddenly heard Shi Li's inner thoughts and looked at each other in surprise.
If they weren't mistaken, the mentally ill person was her brother-in-law.
Li Yuqing blinked her eyes, feeling that Shi Li had already planned a place for her brother-in-law. How great!
The two girls exchanged glances, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: We must overcome all difficulties and create the right conditions for Comrade Shi Li to achieve final victory!
Song Ying grabbed Shi Li's hand and enthusiastically greeted Li Yuwei, "Sister, what a coincidence to see you again! Is this your boyfriend?"
Shi Li had never seen Song Ying so enthusiastic before and felt something was off.
Li Yuwei remembered these two girls from a few days ago.
She smiled and nodded, "Hello, it's nice to see you again. What a coincidence indeed. Yes, this is my boyfriend. We're planning to get married soon."
Song Ying had an expression of sudden understanding.
But Li Yuqing said, "Getting married is quite troublesome, with all sorts of procedures. Sister and brother-in-law, don't rush into having a wedding ceremony. Go home and discuss it properly with mom and dad first. They'll definitely agree. When you brought brother-in-law home the day before yesterday, dad didn't say much while you were there, but he praised brother-in-law several times in front of me and mom."
"A wedding ceremony would cost a lot of money. Don't be in a hurry. Coax mom and dad into paying for it. Don't you want to have a more grand wedding?"
Li Yuqing's words hit her sister's soft spot. As a normal person, of course she wanted to have a lively and grand wedding.
She hesitated, placing her hand on her belly and said softly, "But you know I... can't wait too long. People might notice by then."
In fact, Li Yuwei was far from showing, but she had already started wearing loose-fitting dresses.
Li Yuqing smiled and said, "That's not a problem. Where there's a will, there's a way. You and brother-in-law should first figure out how to persuade mom and dad. These details can be considered later, there's no rush."
She then turned to Zuo Tianhao, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. I'll definitely put in a good word for you with mom and dad. It's just about the red envelope..."
Zuo Tianhao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you won't miss out on the benefits."
[This won't do, every time I see Li Yuqing's brother-in-law, I think of the murder scene]
[I need to do some mental preparation first]
Others thought: It seems we've suddenly guessed who the mentally ill person is!
As the engagement ceremony of Bo Yiyang and Lu Lanshan, the soon-to-be newlyweds, came to an end, they were exchanging pleasantries with the coming and going guests when Shi Li called out "Sister."
Lu Lanshan, arm in arm with her man, came hand in hand to the group.
"Why are you here?"
"I just happened to see some classmates."
Just as Shi Li was about to introduce everyone, Li Yuwei spoke first, "What a coincidence indeed. Mr. Bo and I are old classmates."
[Well, this is quite fortunate. Who would have thought you two would have such a connection?]
Li Yuwei and Bo Yiyang had studied at Qianpu School about ten years ago. Although they weren't in the same class, they were in the same grade and had some impression of each other.
Shi Li joked, "Mr. Bo is so handsome, was he the dream boy of all the female classmates in high school?"
Bo Yiyang had just been tricked out of eight million by Shi Li and thought she was trying to con more money out of him when she opened her mouth.
He hadn't expected her to compliment him.
Li Yuwei praised without hesitation, "Of course! You don't know, Mr. Bo was even more handsome in high school than he is now. He had good grades and played basketball. So many girls liked him."
Bo Yiyang smiled bashfully, "It was alright."
Li Yuwei teased Lu Lanshan, "You'd better keep a close eye on him. There are countless temptations out there."
Shi Li interjected, "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If one can be seduced by flies, it proves the egg itself is rotten."
Lu Lanshan thought Shi Li was giving her advice. She patted Shi Li's shoulder, "Don't worry, little sister. Your big sister has always had a low tolerance for rotten eggs. No matter how good-looking a rotten egg is, once I smell the stench, I'll throw it away immediately."
Bo Yiyang listened with a twitching brow. He felt like he was being targeted, but he had no proof.
As Bo Yiyang and Li Yuwei were classmates, they had a lot to talk about regarding past school events and what their classmates were up to now, leaving no room for others to join the conversation.
Zuo Tianhao, feeling annoyed, went to the flower hall outside the villa to get some fresh air and think.
He was living with Li Yuwei, and since his girlfriend found out she was pregnant, she hadn't allowed him to smoke, claiming it was for the baby's sake.
As a university lecturer, he had extensive knowledge and of course knew that smoking was bad for the fetus.
Strictly speaking, one should quit smoking and drinking even when trying to conceive.
But theory and practice often differ. Knowing that smoking is bad for the fetus is one thing, actually quitting is another.
The most Zuo Tianhao could do was try not to smoke in front of Li Yuwei.
He took out his lighter and skillfully lit a cigarette. As the white smoke rings rose, he seemed to come alive.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Zuo Tianhao looked back. It was someone he didn't recognize, so he moved towards a corner.
He heard two young men who had just entered the flower hall chatting casually. Zuo Tianhao took out his phone and pretended to look at it, but his ears perked up as he heard familiar names.
"Bo Yiyang looks like a very proper person, but he's actually quite messy in private, fooling around with women behind Miss Lu's back."
"Moreover, Bo Yiyang's father left him a mess to clean up. He really needs to find a wealthy father-in-law to help fill the holes. The question is whether Mr. Lu is willing to fill those holes for his future son-in-law."
"Mr. Lu is very shrewd. He might not be willing to use real gold and silver to fill those holes."
"That's understandable."
"If Mr. Lu is unwilling, won't the upcoming marriage between Bo Yiyang and Miss Lu face some changes?"
"Definitely. Bo Yiyang's purpose in marrying into the Lu family is very clear. He hopes that after becoming family, Mr. Lu will be willing to give him a hand. If Mr. Lu is unwilling to help, the marriage will definitely be called off, and he'll be in a hurry to find the next family."
"Impressive, a new-age son-in-law. Wonder which family's daughter will be next to pick up the pieces."
"Girls all like good-looking guys. Bo Yiyang is attractive to girls. As long as he's willing, it shouldn't be hard for him to find the next one."
The two young men laughed lewdly, but Zuo Tianhao's expression darkened.
