Chapter 352

"Sorry, I came here uninvited today." Xie Jiangqing stood beside Hu Mengdie with a smile.

"It's okay. You and my brother had such a good relationship back then. We were inseparable all day long—" Li Xiuyu smiled and stretched out his voice, "It just so happens that you haven't seen each other for many years!"

Li Zhuangsheng patted Li Xiuyu gently and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of so many people? We were just a princess and a lackey back then, okay?"
"Haha, not long ago. I've seen him at school before..."

As Xie Jiangqing was laughing, she realized something was wrong. Why were all the eyes on her?

"Uh, did you misunderstand something? Li Zhuangsheng and I are just ordinary friends!" Xie Jiangqing laughed dryly and nodded vigorously at Hu Mengdie, "Believe me!"

"Huh?" Hu Mengdie tilted her head, as if she didn't know what was going on.

"Well, really!" Xie Jiangqing quickly looked at Zhu Zhixue again.

Zhu Zhixue smiled and said, "Well, I know. Why are you so nervous? I'm not that stingy!"

Li Zhuangsheng sighed helplessly: "Li Xiuyu was just joking, why are you so excited? Of course we are just friends, no one will misunderstand."

"Oh, oh... really!" Xie Jiangqing laughed dryly, "Haha, Li Xiuyu, really, don't say such things that will cause misunderstandings!"

Li Zhuangsheng shrugged, not taking it seriously. But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if Xie Jiangqing had glared at him.

Zhu Zhixue and Hu Mengdie both glanced at Li Zhuangsheng's face, and seeing that he looked the same, they quickly looked away. Yao Xingyu, on the other hand, frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

Li Xiuyu added: "It turned out that I misunderstood. I saw that you had such a good relationship with my brother at that time and you were always with him, so I thought you liked him!"

Xie Jiangqing's face immediately turned as red as a peach blossom, "Don't..."

"Li Xiuyu, if you continue to sow discord in front of your sister-in-law, I will beat you up!" Li Zhuangsheng calmly hit Li Xiuyu on the head with a knife.

Li Xiuyu is really a guy who always teases others half-jokingly. He is simply a marriage destroyer and really deserves a beating. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong between him and the princess with second-year syndrome. Xie Jiangqing must have looked down on him as a "dwarf" back then.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. It was just a joke!" Li Xiuyu shrugged.

The blush on Xie Jiangqing's face faded, and she looked at Li Zhuangsheng, with a hint of confusion and anger in her eyes. After a moment, she looked at Li Xiuyu again, and suddenly understood something.

It turns out that Li Xiuyu is still the same after all these years. It is rare to see the brother and sister together in school, so I thought she had grown up.

She felt a little unhappy, as if she was being teased and used. But today was not her home court, so she thought better of it and held it in.

"I only knew that you were elementary school classmates, but I didn't expect that you had such a good relationship back then." Hu Mengdie said casually to Xie Jiangqing with a smile.

"No, no, no, just ordinary friends..."

Xie Jiangqing and the others hurriedly denied it, but seeing Hu Mengdie's puzzled look, they realized that they were acting a little too hasty. Hu Mengdie had lost her memory and didn't have that kind of feelings for Li Zhuangsheng. They didn't need to explain anything to her, nor did they have to worry about being misunderstood by her.

Why are you panicking? Don't you see how confident and self-righteous Li Zhuangsheng is? Xie Jiangqing said to herself.

"Oh, it seems to be coming." Li Xiuyu looked into the distance and saw a figure walking towards them. She and Yi Yunshui went to greet them, and Hu Mengdie and Xie Jiangqing followed behind them.

"Be careful and don't flirt with that Xie Jiangqing!" Yao Xingyu twitched his lips and clicked his tongue coldly.

"Why are you flirting with each other? We are old classmates, not old lovers!"

Li Zhuangsheng was speechless. If you are talking about Hu Mengdie, I recognize her. What does Xie Jiangqing have to do with me? I can't have an unclear relationship with any pretty girl I know!
"Okay, don't be too nervous." Zhu Zhixue smiled and patted Yao Xingyu gently, "It's normal to have elementary school classmates!"

No matter what Xie Jiangqing thought, judging from Li Zhuangsheng's calm expression, there must be no problem.

Moreover, Zhu Zhixue couldn't focus on Xie Jiangqing at the moment... Ever since Hu Mengdie told her about the relationship between Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu, almost all of her vigilance was directed towards Li Xiuyu.

Hu Mengdie only made her unhappy, but Li Xiuyu made her truly afraid. And this feeling could not even be expressed in words.

Especially after observing how the two of them got along yesterday, the naturalness and tacit understanding between them as if they were one...had magnified her uneasiness to the extreme.

She couldn't even imagine how close the two of them were at home! How many years of living together would it take to have such a tacit understanding between them!
In her eyes, Li Xiuyu was not a human being, but a tiger that could open its eyes and show its claws at any time, ready to attack the city and swallow up the mountains and rivers at any time.

She felt outnumbered and doubted whether she could really withstand Li Xiuyu's challenge... After all, every pore in her body felt a sense of strange danger.

To defend the Yangtze River, we must defend the Huai River... Zhu Zhixue stood at the gate of the First Mountain Scenic Area, looking at the Huai River in the distance. In fact, she didn't quite understand the military geography that Li Zhuangsheng told her, but she thought of the importance of shields and buffer zones.

[But did you know that they are not actually related by blood? ]

She remembered the last sneer Hu Mengdie gave her before she lost her memory. What did she mean by that sentence?
It was definitely not a kind reminder. What was her mood? Wasn't she a good friend of Li Xiuyu? Why did she say such a thing?

Is it really possible for someone to become good friends with Li Xiuyu while dating Li Zhuangsheng? Zhu Zhixue had asked Li Zhuangsheng earlier, and Li Xiuyu was not aware of his affair with Hu Mengdie.

Such a big thing was actually hidden from her sister-in-law Li Xiuyu. It seems that Hu Mengdie has also realized who the biggest threat is... Before she lost her memory, she should have wanted to take the internal route, become friends with Li Xiuyu first, and then let him slowly accept her and Li Zhuangsheng.

So naive! This is of no use at all. Li Xiuyu is even more perverted than you think!
It is unknown what method Hu Mengdie used to pursue Li Zhuangsheng and get along with Li Xiuyu at the same time. But she also hinted to Li Xiuyu, and in Li Xiuyu's heart, it seems that Hu Mengdie did not really like Li Zhuangsheng.

Before, when Hu Mengdie was pursuing Li Zhuangsheng, Li Xiuyu did not help at all... Maybe it was because he felt that Hu Mengdie would never be able to catch up with her, or maybe he had some secret secret with Hu Mengdie?

But no matter what, Hu Mengdie is now a dead body in the grave. No matter what happened between her and Li Zhuangsheng before, she can no longer be considered an opponent.

This is not about Hu Mengdie's performance, but about Li Zhuangsheng's attitude. Li Zhuangsheng looks like a good man, but he is actually a very stubborn person in principle. He says no, no matter what Hu Mengdie does.

So, who else would be more suitable to be this shield than Hu Mengdie? Hu Mengdie should be interested in Li Zhuangsheng. She liked him so much before, so she will be attracted to him in the future... But now she definitely doesn't know Li Xiuyu's feelings. When the time comes, let them fight first!
It's no problem, I've watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" three times! Zhu Zhixue secretly encouraged herself.

"what?"

Li Zhuangsheng's exclamation rang in my ears.

Zhu Zhixue looked up and saw the person following Li Xiuyu, raising the pink Hello Kitty thermos in her hand and raising it gently.
