After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 532: There Was No Feeling

But he had no place to vent his frustration, so Jiang Qin unconsciously blamed Li Xuanbao.

She now understood completely that although they were all Li Hongxing's nieces, there was a difference between nieces with blood relationship and nieces without blood relationship.

Li Xuanbao, who was on the stage, naturally noticed that some guests left early. She was unhappy, but in such an occasion, she couldn't show her unhappiness on her face and could only endure it.

Some things are different after all.

When the ceremony ended and the meal began, Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou held up their wine glasses and toasted each table in turn. Then Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou came hand in hand to Li Chengwei's table.

Li Xuanbao looked at Li Chengwei, opened her lips slightly, and called out "Brother" very softly. The voice was as thin as a mosquito, and was instantly swallowed up by the lively environment. Except for Li Chengwei standing opposite her and looking at her, no one around her could hear this "Brother".

Li Chengwei saw Li Xuanbao's attitude and understood clearly that she was so cautious only because she was afraid that her identity would be known by others. She had the mentality of an ostrich trying to cover up her mistake.

Thinking of this, Li Chengwei was filled with regret and felt that he really shouldn't have come to this wedding.

But he also knew that if he didn't attend the wedding, his parents would definitely be sad, so he came not for Li Xuanbao, but for his parents.

Li Chengwei took a deep breath, forced a smile, picked up his wine glass, and gently clinked it with Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou's glasses. Without any other politeness, he said directly: "I wish you two to love each other forever and be happy and fulfilled."

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy liquor in the glass slid down his throat and a burning sensation arose in his stomach, just like his current complicated and depressed mood.

Putting down the wine glass, Li Chengwei took out a jewelry box from his pocket. The box was bright red, with tiny yellow patterns inlaid on the corners.

He handed the jewelry box to Li Xuanbao and said, "This is the dowry your parents gave you."

Li Xuanbao looked at the jewelry box handed to her, as if she was frozen, with a trace of panic and hesitation in her eyes.

She looked at the jewelry box in Li Chengwei's hand, her fingers slightly curled up, but she never reached out to take it.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the laughter and clinking of glasses from the surrounding guests became blurred background noise.

He Zhizhou stood aside and noticed Li Xuanbao's resistance. He quickly reached out to take the jewelry box: "Brother, I'll take it for Xuanbao. Thank you uncle and aunt for your kindness!"

Hearing He Zhizhou addressing his parents, Li Chengwei sneered, "Uncle and aunt?"

He Zhizhou knew he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I'm not used to it yet, please don't be offended!"

Li Chengwei looked at Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou and said, "It's fine to call them uncle and aunt. There's no affection between us anyway."

Li Chengwei looked at Li Xuanbao who remained silent and her obvious evasive look, and he became angry, but he didn't say anything more. In fact, there was nothing to say.

He snorted coldly and put the jewelry box in He Zhizhou's hand.

He looked at Li Xuanbao and said, "Blood ties are determined from the moment you are born. You can't avoid them just because you want to."

After saying this, he no longer wanted to stay any longer, so he simply said, "I have to catch a flight this afternoon, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, he didn't even look at Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou. He reached out to take the coat hanging on the back of the chair and walked out without looking back.

Watching Li Chengwei's departing back, He Zhizhou held Li Xuanbao's hand tightly, gently pulled her towards him, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't take it to heart. Big brother was not wrong to you. I was the one who said the wrong thing."

Li Xuanbao sighed and said, "I know he is angry with me. But he is right in saying that, apart from blood ties, which cannot be changed, there is no love between us."

He Zhizhou looked at Li Xuanbao without saying anything else. He understood how difficult it had been for Li Xuanbao over the years. Some emotional entanglements and complicated life experiences could not be digested and accepted overnight. It would take time to slowly heal.

Li Xuanbao looked up at He Zhizhou's concerned gaze, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Let's go and toast to the next table."

On the other side, after leaving the wedding scene, Li Chengwei went straight back to Li Jiawei's residence.

Li Jiawei was sitting at the dining table eating lunch. The staple food was dumplings, and there were two cold side dishes, cold vermicelli and cucumber. The refreshing colors looked very appetizing.

Hearing the knock on the door, Mrs. Liu quickly put down her bowl and went to open the door. Seeing Li Chengwei, she was surprised and asked, "Mr. Li, why are you back so soon?"

Li Chengwei walked into the living room and saw Li Jiawei eating. He took off his coat and said to Mrs. Liu, "Mrs. Liu, I haven't eaten yet. Do you have any dumplings?"

Mrs. Liu quickly responded, "Yes, yes, I'll cook it for you now." After that, she turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a bowl full of steaming dumplings.

Li Jiawei put down her chopsticks and looked at Li Chengwei with concern in her eyes: "Brother, why don't you eat over there before coming back?"

Li Chengwei sat on the chair, looking a little tired. He curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid of indigestion if I eat there." Thinking of everything that happened at the wedding, especially Li Xuanbao's attitude, he felt annoyed.

Li Jiawei smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said softly, "What else do you want to eat? Tell Sister Liu and let her make it for you."

Li Chengwei waved his hand, took the dumplings handed over by Mrs. Liu, and said, "No, just eat the dumplings, it's convenient. I have to catch a flight back to Beijing in the afternoon."

"So urgent?" Li Jiawei widened her eyes, her face full of surprise, "Didn't you take four days off? Stay here for two more days." She hoped that her brother could stay for two more days.

Li Chengwei looked helpless and explained: "I promised the three children that I would go back and accompany them to the temple fair.

You know, I'm usually busy with work and can't spare time to spend with them.

I finally got a few days off this time, so I wanted to spend more time with them and make up for it. "When saying this, Li Chengwei's eyes were full of guilt and love.

After listening to this, Li Jiawei nodded in understanding. Although she felt a little reluctant, she didn't know what to say.

My eldest brother works very hard and has very little time to spend with the children. He finally promised the children something and naturally he cannot go back on his word.

When Li Chengwei came, he only carried a small handbag, but when he left, he looked at the two large boxes of things in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

Li Chengwei looked at the two large boxes and said to Li Jiawei with a wry smile, "You were able to pack so many things in such a short time, but this is too much. It will definitely be overweight for the plane."

I cleaned the house all day and was so tired that I didn't want to move. I had already taken a day off, but when I saw my friends urging me to update, I forced myself to update another chapter.
