After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Ye Feng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Why don't you stay at Xiao Shu's place for the night?"

He turned to look at Yu Xiaoshu, his eyes carrying a hint.

Although Yu Xiaoshu hesitated, he nodded under Ye Feng's gaze, "I can give you my room."

Li Tingting quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, it's too much trouble for you. I'll just stay at the shop for the night, so my brother won't worry."

Ye Feng and Yu Xiaoshu wanted to persuade her further, but Li Tingting insisted on her own opinion.

"Then I'll take you back," Yu Xiaoshu immediately said.

"Really, it's not necessary. I'll walk back with Ye Feng; it's on the way anyway." Li Tingting declined Yu Xiaoshu's offer again.

Ye Feng was surprised by Li Tingting's words and couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaoshu.

Yu Xiaoshu was somewhat disappointed, but ultimately nodded.

And so, the three parted ways.

On the other side, Li Tingting's brother paced restlessly in the living room, glancing at the wall clock every now and then.

His heart was pounding wildly.

"That brat, why isn't she back yet? She's not answering her phone!" he couldn't help but complain, his voice filled with deep worry.

Aunt Li was casually scrolling through her phone while eating sunflower seeds. Without looking up, she replied, "Young people are like that, it's normal to lose track of time when they're having fun. You're a grown man, how can you be so easily flustered over something so small?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Li's anger flared up instantly.

"A small matter? What time is it? A young lady like you, not coming home this late, what if something happens to her..."

He didn't dare to continue.

Mrs. Li finally put down her phone and gave him an impatient glare.

“What could possibly happen? Your sister isn’t a child anymore! Besides, didn’t I tell you? She’s having dinner with Mr. Wu tonight, she might be back soon.”

Upon hearing the words "Boss Wu," Brother Li's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Is that Wu Dagui? The one who's divorced and has a child? What were you up to when you introduced my sister to him?"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his tone became increasingly harsh.

Not to be outdone, Aunt Li immediately retorted, "What's wrong with Wu Dagui? He's a market owner, rich and powerful. Your sister will enjoy a life of luxury long before she marries him! Besides, it's normal for second marriages with children these days. Stop being so picky!"

Brother Li was about to say something more when his phone rang, interrupting him.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Wu Dagui calling.

"Hey, Mr. Wu? Is Tingting with you?" he asked hurriedly.

"Brother Li, your sister is at the police station right now!" Wu Dagui's voice was tinged with schadenfreude.

In reality, he was lying, because everyone had already been released from the police station.

Upon hearing this, Brother Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning and almost lost his balance.

"What? The police station? What's going on? Explain yourself!" he practically shouted.

Aunt Li also heard the conversation on the phone. She hurriedly went to Brother Li's side and asked anxiously, "What happened to Tingting?"

Wu Dagui embellished the story over the phone.

Of course, all the blame was placed on Li Tingting and Yu Xiaoshu, portraying themselves as victims.

"Sister Li, you told me before that your sister had never had a boyfriend, right? So what's with this guy today?" Wu Dagui's voice was accusatory.

Aunt Li panicked and grabbed Brother Li's arm. "This is impossible! Xiaoting helps out at the shop all day long, how could she have time to date!"

Brother Li glared at her angrily, shook off her hand, and yelled into the phone, "Wu Dagui! Explain yourself! How could Tingting be with a man? What's going on?!"

Wu Dagui said smugly on the other end of the phone, "Brother Li, I don't know either! I went on a blind date with Li Tingting today, and then a guy rushed out and claimed to be Li Tingting's boyfriend! He even beat me up!"

Brother Li felt a throbbing pain in his temples and his anger surge to his head.

That brat! She actually did all this behind my back!

Aunt Li asked anxiously, "What's that man's name?"

She was filled with worry, fearing that something had really happened to Li Tingting.

“There are two. One is named Yu Xiaoshu, and I don’t know the other one. I only know that his surname is Ye,” Wu Dagui said slowly.

Aunt Li suddenly slapped her forehead. "Surname Ye? Is his name Ye Feng?"

Wu Dagui was stunned. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's Ye Feng! Li Tingting calls him Ye Feng!"

Aunt Li quickly explained, "Mr. Wu, you've misunderstood! I can guarantee that Ye Feng and Xiao Ting are absolutely impossible! It's normal for Xiao Ting to be closer to her sworn brother than most people."

Li Sao secretly groaned. Why did it have to be Ye Feng? If Wu Dagui misunderstood, the marriage would be off!

Wu Dagui clearly didn't believe it. "She's taken on a godbrother? I think her attitude towards Ye Feng is anything but ordinary!"

"It's true! Ye Feng already has a girlfriend! Why would I lie to you!" Aunt Li was so anxious she was almost crying.

Wu Dagui said sourly, "If Ye Feng doesn't want me, then it's my turn?"

With a forced smile, Aunt Li said, "Mr. Wu, please don't be angry! Xiaoting is young and doesn't know any better, please be understanding! Xiaoting is beautiful and hardworking, she will definitely be a virtuous wife and loving mother in the future!"

Wu Dagui said impatiently, "Alright, alright, you don't need to say anymore."

Li's heart was in her throat.

"I have no problem with this marriage." Wu Dagui paused, "As for the betrothal gifts, how much are you planning to ask for?"

Li's wife was overjoyed, but she remained outwardly calm. "Mr. Wu, my husband only has one younger sister..."

Wu Dagui interrupted her, "Two hundred thousand! In addition, I have a small shop of more than 80 square meters on the next street. If Li Tingting comes with me, you can use that shop for free, and I won't charge you any rent!"

Mrs. Li was stunned. A dowry of 200,000 yuan plus a storefront?

She could hardly believe it. "Mr. Wu, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true!" Wu Dagui said smugly. "However, Li Tingting seems to have high standards; she doesn't seem interested in me!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li quickly said, "Mr. Wu, please don't take it to heart by Xiaoting's fault! She's just a country bumpkin with high aspirations! Don't worry, I'll talk to her nicely!"

Li's wife just wants to finalize the marriage as soon as possible; whether Li Tingting is willing or not is not within her consideration.

Wu Dagui nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Aunt Li hummed a little tune, her face beaming with uncontainable joy.

She swayed her hips as she walked up to Brother Li and twirled her phone in her hand.

"It's done!"

Brother Li frowned, looking at her with suspicion: "Is that Wu Dagui really interested in Tingting?"

"That's right!" Sister Li exclaimed, beaming. "A dowry of 200,000 yuan! And on the next street, he has an 80-square-meter shop that he said he'd let us use for free, even waiving the rent!"

As she spoke, she held up two fingers and waved them in front of Brother Li's eyes.
