Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 317

They even hoped to get Xu Lei to consider the matter calmly and rationally.

"I know I did something a little wrong here before."

Of course I know I shouldn't be involved with you so much, but please consider this because I'm still worried about this matter.

I'm quite old, I can't let this incident leave me homeless.

My sons are all very brave; if they knew I was messing around with this kind of thing, they'd kill me.

At this moment, Li Zhenlin's tone softened instantly, and he stopped saying those high-sounding words to Xu Lei.

Instead, he calmly looked at Xu Lei, hoping that Xu Lei could think things through before speaking.

"I never imagined things would get so absurd between us."

You're the one who insisted on creating all this trouble. Look, we should have been able to resolve this matter easily.

Whether it's about building materials or the Ding Group, we should all try to discuss things amicably, don't you think?

Chapter 416 Heart to Heart

Only then did Li Zhenlin truly soften, lowering his guard to say he wanted to have a proper, heart-to-heart talk with Xu Lei.

"I was also bewitched by that woman; he always said he was unhappy there."

Moreover, she was an orphan and widow with a child, and she wanted me to back her up.

I genuinely just wanted to go and help others; I had absolutely no ulterior motives.

After finishing her story, she couldn't help but cry and complain, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Xu Lei was too lazy to listen to his insincere words and didn't believe them at all.

As long as he behaves himself and doesn't cause any trouble, Xu Lei won't bother with him.

But now that he's 17, he's learned to meddle in other people's business.

Xu Lei naturally wouldn't let this person do anything reckless or foolish.

Xu Lei usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but now that the matter has come to his own, he's done it.

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me; I was just helping someone out. But now, I feel that this matter is indispensable to me."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he smiled slightly, but his furrowed brows indicated that he hoped the other party would understand him.

This time, it's not just about discussing it with him; it's about truly taking charge of this matter.

So if he can understand the current situation, then that would be good.

But if he insists on doing something so strange, Xu Lei won't tolerate it.

Only then did Li Zhenlin truly realize the fear he was experiencing, and he could no longer wait peacefully there.

After all, the matter of Yanqiao has already been resolved to this point, how could he just wait around so easily?

The only thing we can do is to calm Xu Lei down here for now.

"I know that I did go a bit too far in the past."

It's understandable that you feel bad about it too. I apologize to you. Please, you absolutely must not tell my family about this.

I was also deceived by Mo Rourou, and Xiao Xu Lei naturally didn't believe his story.

But seeing that he wasn't going against him, Xu Lei's goal was achieved.

They wouldn't completely cut off the other person's escape route, but they would still make him do some good deeds at his advanced age, even if it's just to accumulate some blessings for his descendants.

"You're not young anymore, why do you have to follow Mo Rourou around doing these things?"

Don't tell me you don't know. You've been around here for so many years, you've seen all kinds of humanity.

Now they're saying they were misled by this kind of person. If this had happened before I knew you...

"I would believe that, but I don't believe a word you're saying now."

After saying that, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, after all, these days everyone is dealing with this kind of thing.

They all carried a degree of caution, especially people like Li Zhenlin.

He's eager to collaborate with others, hoping to dig up their entire family history, yet now he claims to be a victim.

This caution is especially true for someone like Li Zhenlin, who is over 370 years old; he'd love to cooperate with others.

They can dig up someone's ancestors for eight generations, and now they want to claim they are the victim.

So, in this kind of situation, it goes without saying whether he can clean up the mess for himself.

Xu Lei now understands that he can no longer live a peaceful life here.

We just let them do whatever they want here.

"I could have let it go in the past, but now I understand it better."

Everyone is only concerned with their own little interests, but what about you?

I can't see through you at all, nor can I figure out what you're thinking.

Chapter 417 Giving someone something to talk about

Xu Lei was genuinely speechless; he wouldn't have been so upset if it had happened before.

But why is this guy just blatantly waiting for others to get scammed?

And this guy is so easily fooled, Xu Lei sometimes doesn't even know what he's thinking.

Was he truly deceived by someone's ignorance, or did he simply enjoy the feeling of being fawned over and treated like royalty?

Xu Lei sometimes couldn't quite figure out what this old guy was, if his mind were to change.

If it had been done before, Xu Lei wouldn't have bothered arguing with such a person.

However, Xu Lei is now somewhat confused and even puzzled.

It's astonishing that someone like this can handle such matters so decisively and efficiently, even having a backup plan for themselves.

It's astonishing that such a person can act so decisively and efficiently in matters that they feel none of this concerns them.

They can even plan their own escape route, feeling that none of this has anything to do with them.

“You may think that we don’t understand everything he’s doing, but he himself knows it very well.”

Xu Lei was somewhat helpless, as everyone had already come to this point.

The proper course of action should have been to quietly and diligently complete everything, at least avoiding giving others anything to gossip about.

But this kid just seems to be fearless.

Xu Lei was quite impressed by the look on his face that suggested someone could kill him.

"I really don't know how I got to this point, considering I'm already so old."

I admit that when I first started arguing with you, it was partly to annoy you and partly to show off my power in front of everyone.

But I really didn't intend to do anything to you; you're a junior after all.

I'm happy that you've achieved so much, but I don't necessarily want to push you to the point of no return. Why would I bother with that?

The poster was speechless; he had no idea where this guy came from.

With such profound logic and such deep thoughts, why do I have to tell myself all this?

"Alright, you don't need to say these things to me. Actually, I feel quite helpless saying these things now."

Originally, everyone was here out of consideration for their own reputation, but now you still have to say things like this.

Isn't that disgusting? And you're slapping me in the face here. You really didn't need to say all that.

Everyone who acts strangely has their own purpose.

We all want to do things well, and I understand that you have these thoughts.

Upon hearing Xu Lei's words, Li Zhenlin immediately bowed and scraped, fearing that he might be caught doing this.

Actually, he wasn't afraid of people like Xu Lei at all. He felt that at his age, it was unfair to be so blatantly grabbed like that.

It's not a good idea, since I originally wanted to take this opportunity to establish my authority.

However, Jing didn't expect Xu Lei to catch her so quickly, so she felt a little embarrassed.

If my son finds out about this, I'll lose face.

So everyone is holding their breath and hopes this matter can be handled easily.

It's not about causing trouble or chaos later, which is why it's so easy to do these things now.

(Good Zhao)

Regardless of whether they caused the commotion before because of this incident.

However, Xu Lei was already somewhat speechless and even helpless about the situation he was facing.

"If you don't tell anyone about this, don't worry, I can give you anything you want."

I'm not joking with you, I'm serious. Didn't you keep wanting me to apologize? I did.

Xu Lei felt truly helpless; it turned out that this was his weakness at such an advanced age.

Chapter 418 Just Lust

At first, Xu Lei was somewhat kind to him, even thinking that he was too old.

Sometimes being a little stubborn is fine, but I never expected it to be not a personality trait but pure lust.

Ding Zhenguang had just left when he got involved with Mo Rourou, or even before that, it's quite possible that such things had already gotten out.

Putting aside whether he himself has any shame, there are his sons waiting to fight for the inheritance and all the messy things he's involved in.

In the end, he was going to be exhausted, but unexpectedly, there was no breakthrough on Mo Xiaohu's side.

It was precisely because Li Zhenlin had this leverage that Xu Lei felt quite helpless.

"So that's where your weakness lies."

Xu Lei stared at him with a hint of helplessness, having his weakness exposed by Xu Lei.

He was naturally upset, but he had to accept the consequences of his bet, and he had already been caught.

There was no way to deny it anymore; he could only let Xu Lei look at him with such a mocking expression.

"I've never done anything wrong in my life, so it's just my bad luck that you caught me today."

So you don't need to look at me with such schadenfreude. I'm old enough to be your father.

Xu Lei never expected that this old guy, even on the verge of death, would still act like an elder to him.

“If I treat you with respect, you are my father’s generation, but if I treat you as nothing at all.”

You're still trying to act tough with me and jumping around every day; it sounds rather awkward.

But what Xu Lei said was true; if he didn't have the slightest respect for him...

He doesn't need to pretend with me; he's a kind and respectable person.

Xiao Qiang was also waiting for Xu Lei's instructions, since Mo Xiaohu couldn't afford to delay any longer.

We need to be prepared for both possibilities. Xu Lei observed that the situation here was almost resolved.

Li Zhenlin should not answer Mo Rourou's calls or contact anyone else for the next two days.

“I remember you have a vacation villa on Nanshan Mountain, right? Why don’t you just move there?”

Anyway, you don't need to argue about anything here these next couple of days. Just go back home and take care of your old age, okay?

Hearing that Xu Lei had already made arrangements for him, he no longer took any further action or became dejected.

Instead, she nodded slightly to indicate that she would follow Xu Lei's arrangements.

"I'll go back and stay there. Don't worry, I absolutely won't come back without your instructions. It's just my family."

Xu Lei smiled slightly.

"Since you're going there, fine, I'm sure your children won't ask you too many questions."

The premise is that you have to be honest and law-abiding. Don't worry, there will naturally be people in the society there who will take good care of your life.

Once I resolve things here, you'll be able to come back safely.
