Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Actually, Xu Cai did not dislike Li Gu. It was Qiao Mei whom she hated. She went to the same high school as Qiao Mei and all the teachers always praised Qiao Mei. Every day, they would talk about Qiao Mei and tell all the students to learn from her! She had only studied for a year before getting into Capital University!

The school even printed Qiao Mei’s photo and hung it on the wall of the school’s auditorium. There was also a banner above it, with the phrase “Outstanding Student of the School”!

Xu Cai agreed that Qiao Mei was truly outstanding and had done well, but she also had her own life to live, so why should she need to learn from another person?

She did not have much aptitude for studying. Even after she tried her best, she only managed to get into an ordinary university in the capital. She thought that she would no longer hear Qiao Mei’s name again after she entered university, but she did not expect Qiao Mei’s name to be plastered in the school newspaper everywhere.

When some people heard about Qiao Mei’s past, they would admire her and saw her as an example. Other people were jealous of Qiao Mei and felt that she was just lucky. Xu Cai belonged to the latter group.

“Xu Ba, find time to go and look for Li Gui after work tomorrow and push all the blame for today’s incident to your sister-in-law. Tell her that your sister-in-law has temporarily gone crazy! Apologize to her properly. If she wants your sister-in-law to go and apologize to her personally, that’s fine with me too! We must try our best to satisfy her no matter what she wants,” Old Madam Xu said.

Liu Xiao did not dare to complain about Old Madam Xu’s arrangements. When Xu Ba heard this, he nodded. It was only now that he knew what his family was up to.

He was fond of Li Gui for who she was and did not have any other intentions. He simply wanted to have pure love between them, but now he had to reconsider this relationship carefully.

The next day, Xu Tian went to work early in the morning. He did not sleep well the entire night, worried that Qiao Mei’s secretary would call to cancel the collaboration with his factory!

The moment he reached the front gate, he saw many unfamiliar faces waiting there. Li Dong was shouting into the courtyard, “Xu Tian, come out! Don’t hide inside like a coward! Come out and talk to me!”

“Why are you looking for me?” Xu Tian asked.

“You’re Xu Tian?” Li Xiong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Tian.

“Yes, but who are you? Why are you looking for me?” Xu Tian asked politely.

“Do you know who we are!” Li Dong grabbed Xu Tian by the collar and questioned him.

“I’m not sure ” Xu Tian said with a trembling voice.

“We’re Li Gui’s brothers! I heard that your wife bullied my younger sister and niece yesterday. How bold of her! Let’s beat him up!” After saying that, Li Dong raised his fist and punched Xu Tian forcefully.

The men from the Li family beat up Xu Tian and he could only protect his head and let them rain blows on him. His family had just offended Li Gui yesterday. If he hit back at the Li family members now, there would no longer be a wedding!

The security officers at the door hurriedly went forward to stop the fight. However, they were all people who lived leisurely lives in the city. How could they win against people who had been doing farm work for a long time in the countryside!

“Don’t hit them! We’re on the same side! Don’t hit them!” Xu Tian shouted out to stop the security officers from doing anything.

“Factory director!” If the security officers could not hit the Li family members, they decided to grab all the men tightly instead!

Xu Tian was wounded all over. He got up from the ground in a disheveled state and immediately said to the security officers, “Let go of them! They’re my relatives! Let go now!”

Someone had called the police about the commotion just now and the police arrived at the scene very soon. They wanted to take all the Li family members away.

“Don’t take them away! Officer, it’s all a misunderstanding! They’re all my family members! They’re just fooling around with me!” Xu Tian said as he held on to the police officer.

“Fighting is bad behavior and must be dealt with seriously!” After saying that, the police officer whispered to Xu Tian, “You’re Xu Ba’s biological brother, right? He’s our superior. Don’t worry, we definitely won’t let these people off!”

Xu Tian could only watch helplessly as the police arrested all the Li family members. This was the first time he ever felt that having a younger brother who held a high position in the government was not such a good thing.

Xu Tian even went to the police station to explain that it was all a misunderstanding, but the news had already been leaked out. The police agreed not to keep them in remand, but the Li family brothers all had previous criminal records, so the police needed to send them back to their registered residence. They could not be allowed to stay in the capital because no one could be sure if what happened to Xu Tian would happen to another person.

Qiao Mei received the news very soon and was overjoyed. Xia Wen was next to her and he took a sip of tea before saying, “You set this up, didn’t you?”

“As expected of Eldest Brother, you can even read my mind. I purposely directed the Li family members there. Moreover, I even asked Zou Ming to inform the police in charge of that area in advance!” Qiao Mei said.
