Instead, she cried even more heartbrokenly, which threw Liu Ergou into a frantic panic.
"Oh, Xiaorou, I'm really not lying to you! Liu Yunxi and I already ca up with a plan yesterday. I just got sidetracked by sothing else and forgot. Just as I was about to tell you last night, you showed up."
"I…" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire
Liu Ergou hadn't finished speaking when Xiaorou cut him off.
"Ergou, you don't have to comfort anymore. I'm content just being your woman."
With that, Xiaorou lightly kissed Liu Ergou's forehead. She then turned to leave.
Seeing that she was determined not to believe him, Liu Ergou felt utterly helpless.
Why won't she trust ? I've already made myself so clear. What more can I possibly say?
Out of desperation, Liu Ergou grabbed Xiaorou, pulled her onto his lap, and gave her bottom two firm smacks. A tremor ran through her from the two impacts.
Xiaorou let out a soft moan.
"Ergou, what are you doing?" Xiaorou cooed softly.
Liu Ergou rolled his eyes and said solemnly, "Xiaorou, why would I lie to you? Your problem can really be solved. Liu Yunxi studied law. She said that in your situation, we can use legal ans to make Zhang Cuifen repay the debt herself."
Seeing Liu Ergou's serious deanor, Xiaorou finally realized he wasn't joking. It was only then that she noticed Liu Ergou had ntioned an unfamiliar na.
Liu Yunxi.
"Ergou, who is Liu Yunxi? Why can she help ?" Xiaorou asked, her face full of confusion.
Seeing her puzzlent, Liu Ergou briefly explained Liu Yunxi's situation. Once Xiaorou learned Liu Yunxi's identity, she had an epiphany and finally believed Liu Ergou.
After understanding the whole story, the previously calm Xiaorou's face flushed as red as an apple. So, there was already a solution. But she hadn't given Liu Ergou a chance to explain, which was more than a little embarrassing.
Watching the embarrassed Xiaorou, Liu Ergou chuckled and gently patted her on the head.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Get dressed. I'm taking you to the village committee, and we'll settle this matter with Er Lu once and for all!"
Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Xiaorou nodded obediently. She lay down beside him again for a while. When it seed to be about ti, they both got up, dressed, and headed straight for the village committee.
At the village committee, everyone had already gathered. Only Liu Ergou and Xiaorou were missing. Er Lu sat beside Liu Jingming, letting out a huge, impatient yawn.
"Damn it, what's the big idea, dragging everyone here so early in the morning? Discuss issues? What is there to discuss? If there's nothing important, I'm going back to sleep. I'm dead tired!"
Er Lu had barely finished speaking when Liu Yunxi reprimanded him.
"Be serious, Comrade Er Lu. Wait a little longer; not everyone has arrived yet!"
Er Lu rolled his eyes but said no more.
Just then, Liu Ergou and Xiaorou finally arrived. They walked into the village committee one after the other.
As soon as Liu Ergou appeared, Er Lu's expression darkened. He glared at Liu Ergou and said resentfully, "I thought we were here to discuss matters. What are you doing here, Liu Ergou?"
"Whatever this is about, it has nothing to do with a physician like you. Get lost and stop being an eyesore!"
With that, a contemptuous look spread across Er Lu's face.
Liu Ergou didn't have much of a reaction to Er Lu's attitude. It was pointless to react to such a petty person.
Instead, Xiaorou spoke softly, "Well… I was a little scared to co alone, so I asked Brother Ergou to co with ."
Hearing Xiaorou's words, Er Lu's brow furrowed. He suddenly felt this matter wasn't so simple. The previous night, he had been relaxing at ho when he suddenly received a notice. The new college graduate wanted him at the village committee the next morning to discuss sothing. The specifics weren't ntioned, only that he would find out when he got there.
Originally, Er Lu hadn't wanted to co. But then he considered his future in the village. Besides, this female college graduate was an official of sorts. If he didn't show her so respect, he might not be able to stay in the village much longer. That was the only reason he showed up.
Er Lu couldn't see the full picture, but Zhang Cuifen was already starting to understand. Although she was also confused, she knew that wherever Liu Ergou appeared, trouble was sure to follow. At that thought, Zhang Cuifen subconsciously edged closer to Liu Jingming.
Seeing that Liu Ergou and Xiaorou had arrived, Liu Yunxi didn't waste any ti and got straight to the point.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the topic. Let's begin the negotiation regarding the marriage agreent between Xiaorou and Er Lu."
As she spoke, Liu Yunxi took out her cell phone and made a video call. While it was connecting, she explained, "To prevent either party from accusing of bias, I am only here to preside over this matter. As for the legal aspects, I've invited my teacher, a renowned lawyer in our country, to provide his professional opinion."
Seeing this, Liu Ergou grinned and sat down beside Liu Yunxi. Xiaorou imdiately followed, sitting next to him.
In stark contrast to Liu Ergou's composure, Er Lu's face suddenly turned ugly. He hadn't expected this eting to be about him, much less his marriage agreent with Xiaorou.
At that thought, his gaze toward Liu Ergou beca ferocious.
It's all this damned Liu Ergou's fault for ddling! Fuck!
From his seat, Liu Ergou noticed Er Lu's vicious glare but paid it no mind. Instead, he discreetly gave Er Lu the middle finger.
Upon seeing this, Er Lu was practically apoplectic. But right now, there was nothing he could do to Liu Ergou. He could only remain seated, his glare growing even more ferocious.
anwhile, Zhang Cuifen watched the phone ringing incessantly and couldn't help but speak up. "I say, college student…"
Before Zhang Cuifen could finish, Liu Yunxi interrupted.
"Just call Director."
Zhang Cuifen nodded and continued, "Well, Director Liu, no matter what, this is our village's business, isn't it? Since it's our own affair, there's no need to trouble an outsider, right? Why did you have to invite your so-called teacher?"
Liu Yunxi simply replied, "I've already explained. It's rely to ensure fairness, that's all."
