Luo Cheng asked with a smile, “Then who do you plan to find to give your second uncle and aunt a lesson?”
Li Xiaoran smiled at Luo Cheng.
Li Xiaoran held Luo Cheng’s hand and wheedled, “Then help me choose one!” Luo Cheng was amused.
“Alright, alright, I’ll choose one for you! Speaking of which, I really know a very suitable candidate! This person’s family background isn’t bad and he’s a third-rate official. However, his family isn’t easy to deal with. He has high standards and feels that no one’s daughter is worthy of him. He has to choose the best one. It just so happens that he’s going to be transferred to White Foothill City. His family background isn’t bad and his official position is better than the Hu family’s. Isn’t he the perfect candidate?”
Li Xiaoran asked, “Will he be willing to cooperate with you?”
Luo Cheng said, “If I ask, he’ll definitely cooperate. His family is perfect for causing trouble for your second uncle and second aunt! You’ll know when the time comes!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she felt that this person was really the perfect candidate.
Li Xiaoran asked worriedly, “Sigh, what if his family takes a fancy to Sisi?”
Luo Cheng said, “Don’t worry! If she’s my sister, the other party will definitely take a fancy to her! As for your cousin, the relationship is quite distant, so they won’t fancy her!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her mouth immediately dropped agape in shock.
“There’s actually such a person? How shocking!”
“That’s right, so don’t worry, the other party won’t like Zhao Sisi!” “That’s good!” Li Xiaoran relaxed.
As they spoke, the two of them returned to the Li family’s house.
At this moment, the rice had already been cooked and the veggies had been cut. After Li Xiaoran returned, she began to cook.
They were all home-cooked dishes, so Li Xiaoran cooked them with ease. Soon, she quickly made a large table of dishes.
After the bowls and chopsticks were set up, Li Xiaoran went to wash her face and change her clothes.
At this moment, there was still a quarter of an hour before dinner. Everyone sat in the main hall as they waited.
Before long, Li Xiaoqing walked in with a man.
It was no wonder that Luo Ziyang felt a sense of crisis. Seeing Li Xiaoqing talking and laughing with this man, even Li Xiaoran suspected that her sister was in love.
“Mr. Li, Madam Li, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting!” Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Liu Mingkun quickly came forward to apologize.
Zhao Xiu greeted warmly, “We didn’t wait long. We’ve just finished preparing. Hurry up and wash your hands before eating at the table!”
Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows. When she saw her father’s expression, she finally understood.
No wonder her father didn’t like the person in front of her.
“Sister, Brother-in-law, you’re here too! You made these dishes yourself, right? I haven’t eaten your cooking in a long time!” When Li Xiaoqing saw Li Xiaoran appear, she quickly came to her side and held her sister’s arm affectionately.
Zhao Xiu introduced them to Liu Mingkun.
“Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, this is your sister’s savior, Liu Mingkun. Mingkun, this is Xiao Qing’s sister, Li Xiaoran, and brother-in-law, Luo Cheng. You guys should
“Greetings, Mr. Luo and the consort!” When Liu Mingkun heard Zhao Xiu’s words and confirmed their ident.i.ties, he quickly bowed respectfully.
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows at him.
“You know who we are?”
“That’s right! Actually, the reason I came to Hele Village this time is because I have something to ask Mr. Luo and the consort for help with!” Liu Mingkun didn’t hide anything and told them why he was here.
“Huh? What a coincidence!” Zhao Xiu was dumbfounded when she heard this. Liu Mingkun said, “That’s right! I didn’t expect to save the consort’s sister by chance!”
At this moment, Li Xiaoran looked at Liu Mingkun with a smile on her face, but she was on guard.
Luo Cheng glanced at Liu Mingkun and said, “Let’s not talk about this now. Father and Mother have already prepared the food. Let’s eat first!”
“Yes, yes, yes. The dishes will get cold if we don’t eat now. They won’t taste as delicious!” Zhao Xiu quickly gestured for everyone to take a seat.
There were a total of six people. Zhao Xiu sat beside Liu Mingkun, while Li Shun sat on Liu Mingkun’s other side.
Li Xiaoqing sat down next to Li Xiaoran, while Li Xiaoran sat next to her mother, Zhao Xiu. Luo Cheng sat next to his father-in-law.
Even though it was a table full of seemingly ordinary home-cooked dishes, Li Xiaoran’s cooking still had a special flavor.
With Zhao Xiu taking care of them, they enjoyed the meal.
Even if Li Shun didn’t like Liu Mingkun, he was still respectful. After all, the other party had saved his daughter.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng didn’t speak much during the meal, but they didn’t feel awkward because Liu Mingkun was at the dining table.
After the meal, Liu Mingkun was also very satisfied.
“I really didn’t expect the consort to be so good at cooking. I’m really lucky to be able to taste it!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “You saved my sister, so it’s only right for me to cook to express my grat.i.tude! I only have one sister, so I can’t bear to let her get injured!”
Luo Cheng could tell that Li Xiaoran’s smile was fake.
Luo Cheng had seen this fake smile before, but it was rare for Li Xiaoran to smile like this.
When she faced Liu Mingkun at this moment, she actually revealed a fake smile, so it could be seen that Liu Mingkun wasn’t a kind person.
“That’s right! Young Master Liu is Xiao Qing’s savior. If there’s anything you need our help with, just tell us. As long as it’s possible, we’ll definitely do it!” Luo Cheng took over the responsibility.
Luo Cheng’s words were exactly what Liu Mingkun wanted to hear.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with Mr. Luo and the consort! I wonder if the two of you can talk with me in private!”
Luo Cheng nodded and said, “Then why don’t we invite Young Master Liu to our house?! Our house is quiet and more suitable for talking!”
Liu Mingkun nodded, then the three of them stood up together.
Li Xiaoran said, “Husband, bring Young Master Liu over first! I’ll catch up with you after saying a few words to Father and Mother!”
Luo Cheng nodded, then gestured at Liu Mingkun.
After the two of them left, Li Xiaoran looked at her parents and sister.
“My husband and I will repay him for saving Xiao Qing’s life! Don’t worry about how we repay him! Xiao Qing, remember to keep a distance from Liu Mingkun!
I’ll tell you about this after we settle this matter!”
