Nanxi Pavilion.

Li Hanchuan sat on the rattan chair on the balcony, looking at the white scene outside the window. Suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind of Su Xiaoxiao shivering alone in the cold wind.

Did she see the text message I sent her? Were the questions I asked myself just a casual act or was it real?

Even he couldn't tell Su Xiaoxiao's acting skills. Was it just a performance for others or a true expression of her true feelings?

But if even he could be fooled, then the person who planned all this behind the scenes would also be fooled, right?

For a man as high and mighty as Li Hanchuan, it would be an insult to anyone that his wife once liked his own younger brother.

Even the most rational person will inevitably lose his composure because of such rumors.

And this is the purpose of their deliberate planning and guiding of all this.

Li Hanchuan narrowed his eyes; the cold wind outside the window made him more sober.

"I heard that the president of the Li Group is also coming to this party. The assistant who was very popular in the news a while ago is called... Su Xiaoxiao, and she is from our school. Mr. Li is very caring towards this senior!"

"I also heard that the senior named Gu Beichen is actually Mr. Li's biological brother. Most importantly, Senior Sister Su had a crush on Senior Gu for four years."

"In my opinion, this Mr. Li must be interested in Senior Sister Su, otherwise why would he come to our school to participate in such an activity that makes people lower their status! Could it be... a love triangle?"

……

When Li Hanchuan thought about what the host was saying when he was backstage, he realized that this was a setup.

First of all, when he attends such occasions, the school will speak more rigorously in front of him and will never do anything to offend him.

Secondly, Li Nuanyang’s identity has been hidden for many years, why has no one discovered it yet?

Finally, there should be very few people who know that Su Xiaoxiao has a crush on Li Nuanyang. Moreover, how could it be discussed so clearly after so many years?

Unless...someone did it on purpose.

Therefore, at that time Li Hanchuan clearly knew that someone was trying to sow discord between them as brothers and as husband and wife.

However, as the situation was unclear, he did not have enough time to investigate, so he followed other people's wishes and deliberately acted like he left angrily after learning the news.

In order not to worry Su Xiaoxiao, he sent her a message before going on stage asking her to act out a play with him.

However, even though this game was set up for him by others, he was willing to enter it.

He never understood why Yun Guanzhong was so deliberate in trying to bring the Li Group down.

While he was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door and Li Hanchuan opened his eyes in a daze.

It was late at night, and the only person who knew he was in Nanxi Pavilion was Hua Cheng. Could it be...

Before I could figure out what was going on, the door was opened easily, and the lights in the room were turned on, followed by the sound of bustling footsteps.

Li Hanchuan stood up, thinking that someone he had punished before was looking for revenge on him, and immediately became alert and fighting.

But the next second, Su Xiaoxiao and her group appeared in front of him.

Qian Duoduo walked up to Li Hanchuan in anger and asked, "Li Hanchuan, how did Su Su wrong you that you actually asked her for a divorce! When Gao Zhirou came back, Su Su never minded your past. Why do you demand that she not have a past?"

"I don't care what your reasons are for divorce. If you don't explain clearly, even if you are extremely powerful and the CEO of the Li Group, it doesn't matter! I, Qian Duoduo, will not stop until I help Su Su get justice!"

Li Hanchuan was stunned by the passionate words.

Li Nuanyang also questioned, "Brother, you obviously love Su Su, what exactly made you make this decision? If you don't explain clearly, we won't agree to let you do this!"

He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao behind Qian Duoduo again. Her tearful and pitiful appearance filled him with heartache.

The man spoke in a low voice, but seemed not to want to tell everyone, "This is a misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand. "Are you telling me that your divorce was a misunderstanding, that leaving me alone in the snow was a misunderstanding, and that thinking that the person in my heart wasn't you was also a misunderstanding?"

Su Xiaoxiao's three consecutive questions made Li Hanchuan a little at a loss.

Li Nuanyang helped Li Hanchuan and said, "Sister-in-law, if this is really a misunderstanding, then we should listen to my brother's explanation."

Qian Duoduo disagreed. She angrily scolded Li Hanchuan, "Don't think that you can bully and humiliate Su Su just because she is innocent. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I, Qian Duoduo, will help Su Su get justice even if I have to sacrifice everything. I will fight you, Li Hanchuan, to the death!"

Li Hanchuan turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao, "I sent it to you..."

The man said, and suddenly paused.

Thinking of Li Meng's past crazy behavior and the open and secret struggles between himself and Yun Guanzhong, Li Hanchuan suddenly swallowed back the words he had not said.

Looking up at the woman in front of him, he didn't want to see her sad, but when he thought about it carefully, all the unhappiness since she knew him was caused by him.

He didn't want to put his beloved in danger. If something went wrong, it would be more painful than killing himself.

If that was destined to be the case, he would rather bear all the pain and suffering alone.

After thinking for a few seconds, just when everyone was calmly trying to listen to his explanation, Li Hanchuan suddenly stood up straight, turned his back to Su Xiaoxiao and said cruelly: "I am a man, I don't want to be anyone's substitute, and I can't accept that my wife once liked my own brother!"

Su Xiaoxiao's whole body froze as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and tears instantly rolled down her eyes.

She tightly grasped the corner of the man's clothes, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked up in her voice: "Li Hanchuan, what do you want me to do to make you believe me! Are the vows we made before no longer valid? You said that you would be together forever, and stay with me forever. Are you going to erase everything between us just because of this unrestrained past?"

Li Hanchuan suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart. He listened to the woman's heart-wrenching cry, which was even more painful than stabbing his heart with a knife.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to ignore everything about Su Xiaoxiao.

Qian Duoduo was angry and didn't know how to help Su Xiaoxiao vent her anger. In desperation, she slapped the man in the face.

She yelled, "Li Hanchuan, you'd better think it over before you speak. Otherwise, even if I let Su Su live alone for the rest of her life, I will never let her come back!"
