Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Chapter 569: Self-explosive Review

Li Zhenmin took Ma Lanlan to a nearby park.

Li Zhenmin found a bench and sat down, and said to Ma Lanlan who had not sat down yet: "I don't know whether you came here to apologize sincerely or falsely today, but I do see changes in you. Your attitude towards Xiaoyong didn't seem like you liked him before, but now it seems that you do."

A person's eyes can convey a lot of information, especially for a young person like Ma Lanlan. Even if she is very good at hiding, she can't hide it from a shrewd person like Li Zhenmin.

To be honest, when he saw Ma Lanlan just now, Li Zhenmin felt curious and somewhat relieved.

Upon hearing this, Ma Lanlan was shocked. She didn't expect Li Zhenmin could even see this. It seemed that her previous behavior was really like that of a clown.

A feeling of frustration rose in her heart.

But soon she felt more determined in her heart. Since she had been discovered, she might as well admit her mistake honestly and say that there was still a chance for Hu Ding.

However, before she could reflect on herself and apologize, Li Zhenmin's voice continued to ring out: "But some things cannot be changed by you. I am willing to sit down and have a drink with someone like you, and even be friends, but we will not become family. Do you understand what I mean?"

Malanlan's eyes suddenly narrowed and she couldn't breathe.

How did the situation turn around so quickly? How come I was sentenced to death without saying anything? Did Li Zhenmin guess my true thoughts?

Her face turned pale in an instant.

Li Zhenmin continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, what I mean is that there will be no future for you and Xiaoyong. Even if you completely change now, even if you swear to be devoted to Xiaoyong in the future, I will not agree, and my family will not agree either. So, I hope you take the initiative to break up with Xiaoyong, and keep out of each other's way in the future."

"I...I..." Ma Lanlan was heartbroken, her lips trembling as she spoke: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I will really change, please give me a chance to correct it for Xiaoyong's sake."

As Malanlan spoke, her eyes became moist.

Li Zhenmin didn't care how much was true or false, and he didn't want to speculate. He just shook his head and said calmly: "I don't agree not because you have said things you shouldn't have said many times, not because you don't respect me, and not because you are not good enough to Xiaoyong. Your apology now will not have any effect, because what you think is a mistake is just a small matter in my opinion."

"Then why..." Malanlan wanted to ask.

Li Zhenmin waved his hand, stood up and walked back: "That's all I have to say, and it's only for Xiaoyong's sake that I agree to stay out of your way in the future. But if you continue to pester or use tricks on Xiaoyong, the consequences will be unacceptable to you."

"Go back. Find a reason to leave Xiaoyong some other day. I hope you make the right choice."

It was obvious that although Li Zhenmin's tone remained calm, his last words carried a strong warning.

Ma Lanlan looked at Li Zhenmin's back as he left, her head buzzing. She had no idea what she had done wrong to make Li Zhenmin do this.

She thought a lot in an instant and quickly recalled everything related to the Li family.

Then my heart skipped a beat!

Could it be that Li Zhenmin had discovered her original intention of approaching Hu Yong? Could it be that her parents had done something to offend Li Zhenmin?

Although she was not sure what specific incident had caused Li Zhenmin to act like this, after the brief conversation with Li Zhenmin just now, Ma Lanlan no longer had any hope in her heart, or rather...she no longer dared to have any hope in her heart.

She gritted her teeth, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she quickly chased in the direction Li Zhenmin left.

thump--

Without waiting for Li Zhenmin to refuse, Ma Lanlan knelt down in front of Li Zhenmin and said in a self-explanatory manner: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this."

"I was forced to date Hu Yong in the beginning. I didn't like Hu Yong, so I had that attitude. I even hoped that it would be better if Hu Yong disliked me and took the initiative to break up."

"But he was too stupid. He always indulged me. I admit that because he didn't resist me, I wanted to control him. I admit that I am not a human being."

"But I thought a lot during this period. I wanted to leave Hu Yong, but I found that I couldn't bear to do so. I found that I seemed to really like him."

"I admit that there is still an element of exploitation in this, but my feelings towards him have changed, too!"

Ma Lanlan spoke while staring at Li Zhenmin's reaction.

Seeing that Li Zhenmin only frowned slightly and did not get angry, Ma Lanlan continued quickly: "I didn't mean it. I was forced. My parents forced me to marry into your family because they wanted to use your relationship with the power bureau to help my eldest brother get a better job. I am disgusted by all this. I hate their hypocrisy, but... I can't help it... If I don't do what they say, I... I..."

At this point, Ma Lanlan hesitated. She didn't dare to say anything... She looked at Li Zhenmin pleadingly, hoping that Li Zhenmin would understand her and not ask any more questions.

Li Zhenmin was very shocked at this time.

He had never expected that Ma Lanlan would expose herself so thoroughly and betray her family so straightforwardly. To be honest, he was quite disgusted by the behavior of betraying family members, so his face was not very good now.

As his mind was turning, he suddenly thought of something and said, "You are good at reflecting on yourself. So, you and Xiaoyong should continue to be together. If you can really prove that you have changed, then I may not necessarily agree to you two being together in the future."

What he was thinking was that Ma Lanlan was so emotional now, instead of refusing to let her do something unpredictable, it would be better to keep her calm for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Ma Lanlan was overjoyed and wanted to express her gratitude immediately.

But she soon realized...

after?

What this means is that it will take some time to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and this period of time will definitely not be interrupted. It may be one or two years, or maybe just a few months, but it will definitely not be three or two days or a week!

But the problem is that Zhao Yuanshan will retire in less than a week...

If she didn't get married within three or four days, wouldn't that mean she was back to square one?

"Why, you are dissatisfied with my proposal?"

Li Zhenmin's voice continued to ring, bringing the confused Ma Lanlan back to her senses.

"No...no..." Ma Lanlan didn't dare to say she was unwilling, for fear that Li Zhenmin would just walk away, so she quickly replied: "Thank you Director Li, thank you brother."

Li Zhenmin waved his hand: "Don't kneel, go back, don't let Xiaoyong down in the future, otherwise I will be as easy to talk to as I was today."

After saying that, he ignored Malanlan and soon disappeared into the night.

Under the street lights in the park, Malanlan was in a state of confusion.

She kept reminding herself: It's okay, everything was done too hastily, it's not my fault that I didn't meet the requirements, and even if Zhao Yuanshan retired, he still had a lot of power in the Power Bureau. As long as Li Zhenmin was willing, as long as Zhao Yuanshan said a word, even if he retired, it would still be of great use, and there was no need to do those things before retirement.

After thinking about it over and over again, her mood finally calmed down a little.

At the same time, my disgust towards my parents and elder brother increased.

As for Li Zhenmin, although Ma Lanlan was unhappy about him kneeling before her just now, she no longer dared to play tricks. Li Zhenmin was too smart and too calm when encountering things.

Speaking of weaknesses, perhaps family is Li Zhenmin’s only weakness.

But not everyone can take advantage of this weakness. At least Malanlan thinks she doesn't have that ability. If she really uses this to gain improper benefits, the consequences will be very serious.

Thinking of the calm look in Li Zhenmin's eyes when he warned her before, Ma Lanlan felt it was too terrifying. She always felt that beneath that calmness there was a punishment that was more unacceptable than death.

He didn't want to experience that kind of oppression again.

"Ma Zhengguang, Meng Ping, Ma Xiaochuan, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will make you pay for what you have done!"
