Song Li paused. He had never thought of this angle.

Yes, he knew that Li Zhengde worked very hard and could be considered smart and talented, but after all, he had only been in school for a short time. Even if he could achieve something in the future, it would definitely not be in the next one or two years.

He is different. He started his education at the age of three. Today, he is confident enough to let everyone see his abilities, otherwise he would not have said such words to Li Mingxia.

"Mingxia, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

"I understand what you want to say."

Li Mingxia interrupted Song Li again, "I believe in my brother, just like you believe in yourself."

"To put it another way, even if my brother cannot be my protector, with my ability, it shouldn't be difficult for me and my family to live a life without worries about food and clothing."

Li Mingxia didn't think there was anything wrong with her words. Perhaps Song Li didn't mean to look down on her, but she still couldn't accept the protection that Song Li mentioned.

She can expect her younger brother to grow into a towering tree and become someone she can rely on. That's because this tree was cultivated by her and she participated in the process, so she can enjoy the results with peace of mind.

But Song Li is different. If she really accepts this, she will have to exchange it for her freedom, dignity and body.

Whether Song Li loved her or not, she could not accept this kind of thing.

"Mr. Song, I know that what happened that day was not your fault. It was your mother who had a problem with me."

"Maybe she doesn't have any objections. Your mother just looks down on me. In her mind, I am just a cheap person trying to get close to you."

"Maybe this doesn't sound good, but you also know that I didn't wrong your mother."

Li Mingxia knew that Song Li was a good person, but he seemed to have always been in a misunderstanding.

"Mr. Song, I think you have never figured out one thing. That is your mother, not mine, nor my brother's. You can forgive her unconditionally many times because you are her son, but we can't."

Li Mingxia sighed, "Your mother is right. Your family's status and position do seem to be too high for us to marry, but I don't mean that. So please make it clear to your mother that I will not enter your Song family, and don't say things that will cause misunderstandings in the future."

"As for whether you and my brother will continue to have contact, it depends on what you and my brother want. I won't mediate anything in the middle, because in my opinion, my brother is just defending his sister, she has done nothing wrong, and if you can't make my brother forgive you, the reason is simply that your words are not sincere enough and can't impress my brother. Of course, if you feel impatient to deal with it, that's fine too. I think my brother is definitely not the kind of person who will regret his decision."

Li Mingxia wanted to take advantage of today to say everything he wanted to say in one breath.

"Zhengde, sister also has something to tell you."

Li Mingxia also didn't want Li Zhengde to be awkward about this matter. After all, it would affect his mood.

"Perhaps you are so angry because you think your sister has a chance to marry Song Li and enter the Song family."

This was something Li Mingxia only realized later. If Li Zhengde had always believed that Li Mingxia would never have anything to do with the Song family, he would not be so angry.

How Old Lady Zheng treated Zhang was not only seen by Li Mingxia, but also by Li Zhengde.

So when Mrs. Song said those words, Li Zhengde's first reaction was to think of Old Lady Zheng.

He couldn't accept that his sister would one day go through what his mother had gone through.

Those days were a nightmare for Zhang, and also for Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia.

A dark nightmare.

So at that moment, what Li Zhengde was thinking was, if one day his sister was forced to live like this, how could he bear it?

After being reminded by Li Mingxia, Li Zhengde fell silent.

He didn't think of this. All his anger was out of instinct. He didn't think about why he was so persistent and furious.

"sister."

Li Zhengde felt his throat was a little hoarse and he couldn't find his voice for a long time.

When I finally spoke, I just called her "sister" and I didn't know what else to say.

Li Mingxia stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Li Zhengde's head, but remembered that his brother had grown up and could not do the same as before, so he took his hand back and continued to cover Li Mingyu's ears.

Li Mingyu, who had just regained hearing freedom, soon became unable to hear clearly again.

"Zhengde, no matter who I marry in the future, or whether I marry or not, I will follow my own heart. I will not marry anyone for any reason other than liking this person."

"You don't have to worry about whether your sister will be wronged. Whether it's him or the people around him, as long as they give me injustice, I will definitely not be polite. I told you one thing before, I came to this world, I may only live once, I want to live as happily as possible, how could I wrong myself for this man?"

Li Zhengde looked at his sister who was smiling sweetly, and the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground and disappeared without him knowing.

Yes, that was the sister he admired the most. How could she let herself be wronged because of a man and be trapped in a square world unable to escape?

"I understand, sister. I was wrong." Li Zhengde raised his head and said softly.

Song Li felt mixed emotions. He couldn't tell what he wanted to express, nor did he know whether he should be happy or sad.

He knew that his vision was correct. Li Mingxia was such a shining girl. She always had her own opinions, her own views, her own ideas, and would never lower herself for anyone. Wasn't it because of these things that he fell in love with this girl in the first place?

But would such a person really like me? Even if I really passed the imperial examination as I said, would she care?

What seems unattainable to others may be even less than dust and dirt in her eyes.

"Mingxia, then I..."

"I don't like you." Li Mingxia couldn't remember how many times he had interrupted Song Li today.

But to be honest, there are some things that you really don't need to say, it will only make people embarrassed.

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but right now, I don't have any feelings for you at all. Please don't waste your time on me, Mr. Song."
