Chapter 154 Persuasion (4/4)

"You guys, stop quarreling..."

Li Zhuangsheng tried to dissuade them in a low voice, but no one listened to him. Zhu Zhixue's face turned red because of Li Xiuyu's heart-piercing words. She didn't understand why the sister-in-law was so hostile when she had never offended her before.

She and Hu Mengdie were in fair competition. Hu Mengdie was incompetent and was rejected by Li Zhuangsheng. Should she be blamed?
But no matter how much Zhu Zhixue thought in her heart, it was extremely pale and powerless in front of Li Xiuyu's words "Turns out you are not my sister-in-law", and she could only be humiliated.

Who made me not a sister-in-law? Zhu Zhixue could not help but feel a strong resentment towards Li Zhuangsheng. It was all Li Zhuangsheng's fault that she was not justified now! If she had a legitimate status today, she would be a failure if she didn't make this evil sister-in-law cry and beg for mercy!

"Xiu Yu, forget it." At this time, Hu Mengdie pulled Li Xiu Yu's clothes and persuaded him to make peace.

"I don't bother to pay attention to her. I don't know where she came from." Li Xiuyu said.

But think about it, Zhu Zhixue is quite scheming. She always stands on Li Zhuangsheng's side, which makes her look like a villain.

"Please sit down first. I have something to tell you." Li Xiuyu's tone became gentler.

Li Zhuangsheng nodded, turned around and told Zhu Zhixue, "Then go back to class first and help me bring the chicken drumstick to Lin Yuehua."

Zhu Zhixue got the upper hand, and glared at Li Xiuyu in frustration and anger: "Okay, you should go back to class early too."

It’s so abominable. Just wait until I get into the top 50, then I will do that... and do that again... and show off in front of you every day!
Zhu Zhixue turned around and swore fiercely in her heart.

"Okay, what's the matter that you have to tell me now?"

Li Zhuangsheng sat opposite Li Xiuyu, feeling a little scared. It had nothing to do with Li Xiuyu, but with Hu Mengdie beside her.

He suddenly became a little worried that Hu Mengdie would reveal the identities of the two reborn people to Li Xiuyu. Given the current relationship between Hu Mengdie and Li Xiuyu, if Li Xiuyu knew that the other party was his future sister-in-law and they joined forces, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it.

However, Hu Mengdie is also a person who values ​​her reputation. The day before yesterday, I could say that I had stripped her of her fig leaf. She would not be embarrassed to act like a victim and cry to Li Xiuyu.

"I don't have anything else to do, I just want to see if you can comfort Hu Mengdie!"

Li Xiuyu paused, blinked and said.

She called Li Zhuangsheng just because she was unhappy seeing him and Zhu Zhixue quarreling and wanted to break them up, so she made up an excuse.

"How can I comfort her...what happened to her?"

Li Zhuangsheng felt guilty and broke out in a cold sweat. Why did she ask me to comfort her by name? Did she really complain to Li Xiuyu?

My dear sister, please spare your brother!
"She didn't do well in the midterm exam and is very sad!" Li Xiuyu sighed.

"Uh uh..."

Li Zhuangsheng was relieved. So this was the excuse. It was indeed a brilliant one.

Li Zhuangsheng naturally understood why Hu Mengdie was so depressed. He took the courage to take a quick look at her. After only two days, her face was visibly haggard, her eye sockets were slightly sunken, and dark circles appeared under her eyes.

She didn't seem to have much appetite, she only ate half of the vegetable bun in front of her, and didn't even finish the bowl of cornmeal porridge. She didn't eat, but just lowered her head and stared blankly, which made people feel pity.

Li Zhuangsheng felt a little pain in his heart. After all, she was his beloved whom he had once taken good care of. Seeing her become like this because of him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and self-blame.

"Don't be like this, it's just an exam, you still have a long life ahead of you. If you don't do well this time, there's always next time. This test paper isn't that good either, so don't take this failure to heart. It's not worth your sadness." Li Zhuangsheng said quietly.

Li Xiu Yu sneered in his heart, thinking that he really couldn't expect Li Zhuangsheng's comforting skills. Even if it was just polite words, it was too meaningless!

"I... I don't want to! This is my most important exam. If I don't do well, everything that happens afterwards will be meaningless!" Hu Mengdie bit her lips, tears dripping down her cheeks. But she suddenly thought of something and quickly wiped away her tears.

"Sorry, I almost forgot. " Hu Mengdie pursed her lips and forced a smile.

"Oh, do you know how to comfort people? Why did you make her cry?" Li Xiuyu quickly took out a tissue and complained unhappily.

Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head, he didn't know how to persuade him.

He knew very well what he could do to cheer Hu Mengdie up, but he just didn't want to.

It’s not that I’m unwilling, but to be more precise, I’m unwilling.

Why?
He considers himself a good person, but he chose to be selfish this time.

"Even if this is the case, don't be hard on yourself. At least eat well and sleep well. No one will like you when you look decadent. You used to be a pretty person, but now you look so ugly. No matter what you want to do, your health is your capital. If your body is broken, you can't do anything."

Li Zhuangsheng brought the half vegetable bun to Hu Mengdie's mouth. Hu Mengdie's mouth drooped, as if she was about to give up, but she finally held back her tears.

"Why are you talking so harshly?"

Li Xiuyu was so angry that he slapped Li Zhuangsheng and said, "Can't you see how sad she is? Why can't your tone be nicer?"

However, before she finished her words, Hu Mengdie opened her mouth and bit the bun. Li Zhuangsheng then let go of her hand, thinking that you must have bitten my hand on purpose, but he couldn't say it directly.

But generally speaking, Li Zhuangsheng was quite satisfied with Hu Mengdie's willingness to eat steamed buns: "That's right, eat and drink well, nothing can interfere with eating and sleeping! Li Xiuyu, give me your meal card."

Li Xiuyu was surprised to see Hu Mengdie eating so obediently, and then he obediently handed over his meal card. Li Zhuangsheng turned around and went to the canteen. He wanted to buy chicken legs, but they were sold out, so he settled for chicken strips.

"I know you're from the dance class, but you should be moderate in dieting." Li Zhuangsheng came back and put the chicken strips in front of Hu Mengdie, "Take the chicken strips home and eat them too."

Hu Mengdie glanced at Li Zhuangsheng and drank her porridge in silence.

Li Xiu Yu secretly gave Li Zhuangsheng a thumbs up and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that I underestimated you. You are really good at persuading people!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You guys should go back early too."

Li Zhuangsheng returned the meal card and was about to leave, but Li Xiuyu remembered something and pulled Li Zhuangsheng back.

"I saw you having dinner with a lot of girls today. When did you hook up with Han Miaoyan?"

"Can you please not use the word 'hooking up'? This is because of Zhang Qixiang." Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Hu Mengdie, "You also know that he likes Han Miaoyan, so he dragged me into it."

"He likes Han Miaoyan. What does it have to do with you and Zhu Zhixue?"

"Han Miaoyan wants to become my apprentice and learn how to write novels. Zhang Qixiang insisted that I agree...that's it." Li Zhuangsheng explained concisely.

"I didn't expect that you are quite popular now." Li Xiuyu was jealous.

It was clearly written under my name, and I contributed a lot to it, but I didn't expect it would give him so many more friends from the opposite sex!

"Your brother is good-looking and has literary accomplishments, so it's normal that he's popular with girls. Some people in our class were talking about him today." Hu Mengdie said softly.

Li Xiuyu and Li Zhuangsheng's expressions changed slightly.
