The cold wind blew against the woman's pale cheeks and thin body as she knelt on the cold ground.

His fists were clenched, full of unwilling resentment, but he had to kneel down.

The housekeeper came over after hearing the news, with a worried look on his face, "Miss, it's such a cold weather, be careful of hurting your body."

Li Ruoya was furious, "If I can't see grandpa, I won't be able to kneel down."

"Miss, what are you doing?" Butler Liu sighed. The old man was ruthless by nature. He was angry because of what happened at the birthday banquet and he didn't want to see anyone now.

"Steward Liu, I really didn't make the coins at the birthday banquet. Someone wanted to put the blame on me."

"I'll go talk to the old man again." Butler Liu turned and walked towards the villa.

Lu Xi watched this scene from a distance, "Will Li Yinghuai suspect that Dafang did this?"

Li Sihan replied, "Li Ruoying is also dancing. The old man will investigate this matter privately. In the past few years, the two houses have been fighting openly and secretly. How could he not know about it? He would only suspect that the eldest house wanted to blame the third house and something went wrong. Set yourself on fire."

Gu Nancheng had been silently watching the two chatting, and probably knew the whole story.

Gu Nancheng said, "Xixi, after this incident is over, in order to prevent the people in the big house from taking the opportunity to retaliate, I will follow you every step of the way."

Li Si's cold eyes said, "Xixi has me."

"I am her boyfriend, so of course I have the obligation to protect her."

Li Sihan smiled, "I am Xixi's guardian. Even if you want to fall in love, you have to get my consent. Obviously you are not qualified."

"Xixi is willing to be with me."

"If you can't pass my level, what kind of boyfriend do you think you are?" Li Sihan protected Lu Xi behind him.

The atmosphere gradually became depressive.

Lu Xi walked over, stood between the two of them, and said angrily, "If you keep doing this, I won't pay attention to anyone."

As she said this, she took the two people's wrists and said, "Let's shake hands and make peace."

"Impossible!" they said in unison.

Lu Xi had a flash of inspiration and forcibly clamped the two's hands together with his hands. "Whenever I'm present in the future, I'd better behave peacefully, otherwise I won't pay attention to anyone."

"I'll try my best." As he said that, Li Sihan pulled his hand back, along with Lu Xi's hand.

"Okay." Gu Nancheng said with a smile.

"Second Miss hit the wall!" A horrified voice sounded.

They all turned around and saw Li Ruoya passed out on the ground, blood flowing from her forehead, which was a bit scary.

Lu Xi was startled and murmured, "She... committed suicide?"

"I can't die." There was no warmth in Li Sihan's eyes.

........

When Li Ruoya committed suicide and hit the wall, she was rushed to treatment. Her life was not in danger, but she was in a coma.

At this time, people from both rooms gathered in the conference room, but Lu Xi and Gu Nancheng didn't come. After all, this was a family matter, and Li Sihan didn't bother to come.

Li Yinghuai sat on the main seat

Zheng Shuyun looked sad, her face covered with tears, "Ruoya has been frail and sick since she was a child. She did not hesitate to hit the wall in order to prove her innocence. She is still in a coma."

Li Sihe looked solemn, "My sister had a tendency to commit suicide when she came back. It's just that the person who framed her was very clever. Xiang Feng and Wang Tian were instructed by that person, and they are still missing."

Li Jingchuan said in a deep voice, "Dad, Ruoya is kind-hearted and has admired you since she was a child. If you don't believe her, it will be a big blow to the child."

The people in the big house tried their best to explain and tell.

The people in the third room sat quietly watching their performance.

Only Li Ruoying saw that Zheng Shuyun was crying, so she thoughtfully took a tissue and sent it to him. She went over to hug Li Yinghuai's leg and said, "Grandpa, my sister is innocent. There must be a bad person framing her."

Ye Anning looked at her innocent daughter who would be sold in the future and would have to count the money.

Li Yinghuai showed his majesty even when he was sitting there. He said displeasedly, "I already said it during the birthday banquet. This matter has been over. Why do you want to make a fuss?"

Zheng Shuyun sighed, "Ruoya's mentality is too fragile. How could she possibly be able to withstand this?"

"I can't bear it when something happens. Isn't it because your discipline is lax?"

Li Ruoying nodded in agreement, "If it were the eldest brother, he wouldn't hit the wall."

Zheng Shuyun's face froze slightly. Didn't he stand on their side and help Ruoya just now? As expected of Ye Anning's daughter, she has been scheming since she was a child.

"It's true that we were lax in discipline, but Ruoya didn't do anything, yet she made such a big fool of herself at the banquet."

Zheng Shuyun said, in fact, there is little chance for Li Yinghuai to be sold miserably. He even hates it. But if their big house doesn't attract attention, there is no other way. They must desperately deny that Ruoya did not do this.

"I said this matter is over, don't mention it again in the future." Li Yinghuai said, "She is 25 this year, and it's time to find a suitable family marriage."

"Grandpa, the girlfriend Gu Nancheng is dating has no family background. The Gu family will not agree to the two of them being together in the future. Our family intends to marry with the Gu family."

Li Sihe said that he was sure that Lu Xi was responsible for the birthday banquet. Now that Gu Nancheng was protecting her, he could not do anything to her, and he could never let this woman marry into the Gu family.

Ye Anning was not happy anymore, and her face was almost shattered by this calculation. "We haven't broken up yet, and you're starting to make these plans?"

Zheng Shuyun glanced at Ye Anning coldly, "And that Lu Xi is only 18 years old. He is too young and is still an orphan. Who knows what he did before?"

"Grandpa, the Gu family will never approve of such a woman. Maybe Gu Nancheng thinks so too."

The implication is that he was just having fun.

Zheng Shuyun said, "What's more, which wealthy family would allow this inappropriate marriage?"

Li Jingchuan said, "The Gu family originally wanted to marry our Li family."

Ye Anning looked at the elders and tried to persuade the old man, feeling unhappy. Why didn't Li Ruoya just hit her to death? If Sick Yangzi didn't rely on his family, how could he compare to Lu Xi?

Li Yinghuai was moved when he heard their words, "I will find time to discuss the marriage with Mr. Gu."

Zheng Shuyun seemed to see hope. If this was the case, their big house would have the backing of the Gu family, which would be even more powerful. How could a homeless person like Lu Xi compare to her Ruoya family?

"It's all gone." Li Yinghuai said.

Everyone left and the room fell silent.

After a long while, Li Yinghuai said, "Who do you think made the money?"

Butler Liu thought seriously, "I think it's hard to judge who is responsible for the competition between the two houses."

Li Yinghuai said coldly, "People are all egoists, and it's okay to fight openly and covertly for power, but today they plotted against me. It's really rampant."

"Usually, the two houses are secretly poking fun at each other. This is the first time. Could it be that there is some mastermind involved behind the scenes?"

"It's as I thought. Let's observe it slowly in the future." After a pause, Li Yinghuai asked, "Is that girl named Lu Xi an orphan?"

"Yes, I investigated her on the first day she came. She grew up in an orphanage."

At this time, Li Yinghuai recalled the piece of embroidery again, "Did you go to school during your time in the orphanage?"

"The investigation of Lu Xi's identity information was too little. What else he did while he was in the orphanage was not found out. Moreover, the orphanage was demolished three years ago." Butler Liu said truthfully.

Li Yinghuai remained silent and said nothing.
