Seeing this, Yu Bin curled his lip and walked forward quickly.

"Hey, wait a minute, how about... I call Yushui out, and we can have a meal together?"

"Great! I'm a little hungry. Have you contacted Rainwater yet, sis?"

Upon hearing Yu Li's words, Yu Bin, who had been listless, immediately perked up and approached Yu Li and Li Xiangdong with a fawning expression, asking them questions.

"Look at you, so pathetic..."

"Let's go find Yushui in the dormitory now. That kid usually eats late, so he must still be hungry."

After saying that, the three of them arrived at the entrance of He Yushui's dormitory.

"Brother Dong, Sister Yu Li, what brings you here?"

Chapter 248 Matchmaker Yu Li

He Yushui opened the door and blinked, seemingly studying.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"Not yet, I plan to grab something to eat after I finish my homework."

He Yushui pointed to a pile of snacks on the table, but was too embarrassed to say that Yu Bin had bought them.

"We were just about to go out to eat, let's go together!"

"No need, you two are enjoying your time together, why should I interfere?"

He Yushui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What if I were still here?"

At this moment, Yu Bin poked his head out from behind Li Xiangdong and Yu Li, grinning foolishly at He Yushui.

"I...I'll go get my clothes..."

The moment He Yushui saw Yu Bin, a blush appeared on her face, and she quickly turned around and went back into the house to get dressed.

"Rain, this food isn't what I brought you the other day, is it? Who bought you all this delicious food?"

Having already seen through everything, Yu Li followed He Yushui into the house, pretending not to know anything.

"I... um... a classmate bought some for me..."

"Classmate? This classmate is really generous to you. Is it a male or female classmate? Rain, are you dating someone?"

"No, no... I'm still in school... my mind is all on studying..."

He Yushui suddenly became very nervous and quickly waved her hand to deny it.

"Actually, you're at the age where you should be dating. If you really meet someone you like, then take your time and get to know each other!"

"hold head high. …"

He Yushui was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She quickly got dressed and walked out the door.

Normally, knowing He Yushui's introverted personality, Yu Li would definitely walk with her. But today, she strode ahead, linking arms with Li Xiangdong, deliberately leaving He Yushui and Yu Bin some space to be alone.

"I waited for you for ages at noon today, why didn't you come down for lunch?"

"You're one to talk! I looked at all the food you bought, and a lot of it won't keep. I'm afraid it'll spoil if I don't eat it soon..."

"Haha, I really didn't notice that. I should have gone up and eaten with you!"

"Let's not do it. There are too many people in the factory, and people will start gossiping..."

Yu Bin and He Yushui walked behind, whispering to each other, but they were too embarrassed to get too close.

"I think these two actually have a chance..."

“Yu Bin admitted to me himself that he likes Yu Shui, and I think Yu Shui’s attitude means she might also be interested in Yu Bin.”

"That's right. As long as one doesn't interfere with studies and the other doesn't interfere with work, then there's no problem."

Li Xiangdong and Yu Li were also whispering among themselves.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, He Yushui was about to sit down next to Yu Li when Li Xiangdong quickly stepped forward, holding the menu and pretending to order.

He Yushui was too embarrassed to say anything, so she awkwardly walked towards Yu Bin, which made Yu Bin extremely happy.

"I heard that old Fang, the bachelor in the factory, is getting married this month. He went to get a letter of introduction today."

After the dishes were served, Yu Li spoke first.

"Haha, that's true. When did you become so inquisitive about other people's business?"

"I was just telling Yushui that if you meet someone you like while you're young, you should enjoy the relationship and not wait until you're of marriageable age to think about these things. By then, you might not find the right person."

"That's absolutely true; very few people are as lucky as us."

After Li Xiangdong finished speaking, he and Yu Li exchanged a smile. Yu Bin and He Yushui, who were sitting opposite them, also looked at each other somewhat awkwardly.

After the meal, Yu Li and Li Xiangdong left first, citing an urgent matter, giving Yu Bin the opportunity to escort He Yushui back to her dormitory alone.

"This is my first time eating at this restaurant today; it seems to be newly opened."

"Mmm, it tastes good, but the dumpling filling isn't as good as what Sister Yu Li makes."

"If you like it, come to my house another day. My mom's cooking is even better than my sister's. My sister learned all these tricks from my mom!"

It has to be said that Yu Li's matchmaking today was somewhat effective. He Yushui and Yu Bin became much closer after their conversation today, and they chatted for more than ten minutes after returning to the factory dormitory before saying goodbye.

"Master, this Li Xiangdong is too cunning; we can't possibly defeat him!"

At this moment, Zhang Feng was sitting next to Yi Zhonghai, reporting on the day's events.

"What happened? Could it be that Lin Fang was so drunk that he didn't have any problems at work?"

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Yi Zhonghai had a vague sense of unease and frowned, asking seriously.

"Li Xiangdong is really good at winning people over at the factory now. He found out Lin Fang was drunk, but instead of punishing him, he gave him half a day off. I saw Lin Fang humming a little tune as he ran home..."

"Furthermore, I've heard that Li Xiangdong has tightened security at the steel rolling mill gate. Apparently, everyone needs some kind of work permit to enter and exit, and the security team has assigned two more security guards to watch the gate!"

Zhang Feng kept talking, while Yi Zhonghai looked worried.

"He's just trying to keep an eye on us. Li Xiangdong, Li Xiangdong, I refuse to believe we can't handle a mere kid like him."

Chapter 249 Zhang Feng Comes Out with Another New Idea

Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette, his tone filled with anger.

"Master...actually, I have another idea...I just don't know if it will work..."

Zhang Feng's eyes darted around, and it was unclear what mischievous idea he was plotting.

"Tell me, tell me everything you can do to bring Li Xiangdong down!"

"I'm thinking... could we do something about Yu Bin and He Yushui?"

Zhang Feng recalled what he had seen and heard downstairs in the factory dormitory that night, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Yu Bin and He Yushui... what's wrong with them dating normally? And even if there are problems, they shouldn't involve Li Xiangdong, right?"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes; he strongly disagreed with Zhang Feng's idea.

“Master... Of course we can’t interfere with normal dating, but how old is He Yushui? She’s still in school. Yu Bin, a lowly factory worker, is it moral for him to be eyeing a young girl?”

"Besides, who is Yu Bin? He's Li Xiangdong's future brother-in-law. We can say that Yu Bin is so domineering and unreasonable because he's relying on Li Xiangdong's power."

"If this matter blows up, Li Xiangdong and Yu Bin will be finished!"

Zhang Feng explained earnestly.

"That's definitely possible. I'll leave it to you. Make sure it's done beautifully this time."

"Don't worry, Master. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now, otherwise Wang Yan will get angry again..."

"Your wife..."

After discussing their plan, Zhang Feng, who was afraid of his wife, quickly went out to prepare to go home.

"Fengzi? What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard in high spirits after the blind date and happened to run into Zhang Feng, who was rushing out. He went up to greet him.

"I...I came to see my master..."

Zhang Feng hesitated, after all, the matter he discussed with Yi Zhonghai involved He Yuzhu's sister, He Yushui.

"I think it's going to snow. You should go back now, or you'll get wet."

In high spirits, He Yuzhu didn't think much of it and cheerfully said goodbye to Zhang Feng.

The next morning, Xu Damao still got up early to practice walking. Although his movements were not very free, they were getting better and better.

"Da Mao, come in and have some breakfast before you practice!"

Lou Xiao'e leaned over and said with a solicitous look.

"If someone broke into your house, would you still be in the mood to eat?"

Xu Damao didn't even bother to lift his head, and responded fiercely.

"I......"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Hurry up and go ask Lou Sheng for the money. If you don't get it back, your brother's big wedding day will be the day you're sent back to your parents' home after being divorced!"
