Chapter 132 – The truth draws near (3)

“I…” For a moment, Shen Fulai was a bit tongue tied by Li Mo’s words. “So what if your family has a wife? My younger sister is like a celestial fairy. How could he not be tempted by her?”
Li Yan’s lips curved into a mocking smile. “Shen Fulai, go home and tell your celestial fairy sister that I, Li Yan, am only an ordinary mortal. I’m not good enough for her. Tell her to not come looking for me again. Even if she’s seeking death, pick a good day. Stop causing me bad luck just because she’s bored.”
“You? You -” Shen Fulai was so angry that even his face was shaking.
Li Mo gently reprimanded Li Yan, “Don’t say nonsense, second brother.” Then, he said to Shen Fulai, “Don’t mind him. My second brother has a bad temper. But, you should still go back and have a proper chat with Mudan. Even if she doesn’t agree to the engagement that your parents made for her, she can’t kill herself. Also, I hope that can she give up on my second brother. Love isn’t something that can be forced.”
“Y-you… you rotten brothers, working together to gang up on someone,” Shen Fulai was so angry that that his voice was trembling. He hatefully swept his gaze over everyone. “Fine, just you wait. This matter won’t be so easily settled.”
After saying this, he started to stagger away on the muddy backyard. Li Man and Little Five automatically moved to the side to give way.
Shen Fulai swept his gaze over Li Man’s face from top to bottom. He was slightly stunned, but soon after he coldly sneered. He turned his face away and continued to limp his way out.
Yes, he was limping Li Man carefully watched him and noticed that he wasn’t walking unsteadily. It was that his left leg was a bit shorter than his right leg, so he couldn’t walk as smoothly.
After waiting until Shen Fulai had left, Li Shu said, “Second brother, why has that Shen person become like that? He’s becoming more and more unreasonable.”
Li Yan’s exception was somewhat gloomy. “He wasn’t like this before.”
Li Shu shook his head and scornfully said, “From how I see it, he hasn’t done any work after he became lame. He even fought with old father Zhao. Old father Zhao is already so old, but he still hit him.”
Knowing the reason behind Shen Fulai’s change, Li Mo softly sighed. “Let it go. If that thing didn’t happen with Mudan, he wouldn’t have come here to cause trouble.”
“What right does he have to cause trouble? Second brother hasn’t done anything to that girl. She’s the one that keeps bothering him every day…”
Seeing Li Yan’s gloomy expression, Li Mo hastily shouted for Li Shu to stop, “Alright, third brother, let’s drop this.”
Li Shu pouted. Not having a better option, he shrugged.
Li Mo gently patted Li Yan’s shoulder and comfortingly said, “Second brother, don’t take it too hard. He’s just worried about his younger sister.”
“I know,” said Li Yan. He wasn’t happy either about the bad situation with Shen Fulai and Shen Mudan. One person was his childhood friend, and he had treated the other one as a cherished younger sister. Why had things turned out like this?
“Second brother, go inside and rest. The roof is almost done. I can clean up the rest with your third brother,” said Li Mo.
“En.” Li Yan nodded, but he didn’t go inside. Instead, he left the backyard and headed somewhere else.
Li Shu doubtfully asked, “Second brother, he…”
Seeing this sight, Li Mo slightly furrowed his brow, but he didn’t call out to stop him. “Let him go where he wants.”
