After everyone sat down, they gradually began to understand the situation between the two siblings.

Li Kuo, this guy, is a bit cunning. Previously, when he reunited with Xiaofan, he told Xiaofan about which nightclubs were good for picking up people.

However, one day he met Han Lingxue, who was working in a nightclub. She appeared modest, like a girl with a gentle and intelligent grace.

Li Kuo was suddenly attracted by the girl's simple temperament and subsequently went to that place for several weeks in a row. Over time, the girl also noticed his earnest gaze.

But Han Lingxue knew her humble status and always avoided responding to Li Kuo's pursuit, even having tendencies to evade.

Li Kuo, having finally found another girl apart from Chen Mengying who touched his heart, knew from Mengying that her heart was elsewhere, that "elsewhere" being his good friend. Hence, he had already given up on Mengying.

After meeting the girl, he no longer roamed around mindlessly and pursued her wholeheartedly. He found out which school she attended and used the most clichéd yet effective way to win her heart.

You know, when a boy holds a large bouquet of roses and stands with a huge banner declaring his love at the school gate, girls usually melt completely.

Thus, the two began a positive relationship. Two weeks later, Li Kuo took Han Lingxue home to meet his parents.

Li Zhongran and his wife weren't ordinary people. Although they had an understanding of the girl's background from Li Kuo, they didn't look at her differently. As long as she came from a good family and they truly loved each other, they would absolutely not stand in the way and would give full support.

But the girl's family was indeed struggling; her brother had been in the army for many years. Her father had long passed away, and her mother was bedridden with illness. The girl worked part-time, attended school, and cared for her mother.

Of course, after meeting Li Kuo, he wouldn't let the girl work anymore, even though she was reluctant to accept. But Li Kuo just said one thing: "If I can't even take care of the woman I love, what kind of man am I?"

This remark moved Han Lingxue deeply, to the point she gave herself to Li Kuo that night. Li Kuo also frequently accompanied Han Lingxue to the hospital thereafter.

Unfortunately, the girl's mother ultimately didn't escape the clutches of illness. Still, seeing her daughter find such a good match allowed her to pass with a smile.

When it comes to Han Shengjun, who was in the army, he knew of his mother's condition and his sister's relationship, thinking the young man was okay. Yet, he felt guilty for being unable to return home due to his duties.

Finally, when he learned his mother couldn't hold on, he immediately requested to leave the army. Originally nominated for Yanhuang Soul and undergoing assessments, leaving the army would mean giving up a promising future.

However, filial piety tops all virtues. The nurturing grace of his mother hadn't been repaid; couldn't he even be there for her final journey? After insisting on leaving the army, Han Shengjun finally got the news of his mother's passing two hours before boarding a train in Tibet. There, he broke down in tears like a child at the train station.

Meanwhile, Li Kuo helped Han Lingxue deal with her mother's funeral shortly before his own family got into trouble. When Li Kuo found out the matter was related to Red Butterfly, he immediately thought of revenge. But, his stance was the same as Xiaofan's; a face-off with Red Butterfly would inevitably involve the people around him. His mother could be sent abroad for treatment to stay away from trouble, but what about his beloved girl?

Actually, he wasn't imitating Xiaofan's approach. Rather, when a man feels the need to protect the woman he loves, he must keep her away from danger. That's what it means to be a man; though they keep many words to themselves, it doesn't mean they don't love.

Upon hearing his sister crying in her room, Han Shengjun immediately asked and learned the two had broken up inexplicably. Hence the scene this morning where he came to punch someone.

This is the truth of the whole incident. After knowing the facts, Han Shengjun immediately punished himself with three glasses of wine to apologize to everyone. He was impulsive, but he was also brave enough to admit his mistakes. Moreover, his sister indeed didn't misjudge this guy; he is a man.

Han Lingxue was the happiest one, for she understood that her beloved didn't break up with her because he didn't love her; rather, it was because he loved her too much. This realization brought joy, and the tears flowed down.

"So, Lingxue, don't come looking for me," Li Kuo said heavily and then suddenly downed another glass.

"Jun, what are your thoughts?" Xiaofan glanced and asked.

"Thoughts? What can I think now, at this point? Lingxue should make her own decision," Han Shengjun said after looking at his sister again, "Anyway, whatever she chooses, there'll be no objections."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the girl.

Han Lingxue's face immediately turned red as everyone looked at her. She stammered and took a bank card out of her small bag, placed it on the table, and spun the turntable to stop the card in front of Li Kuo.

"Here's your ten million; take it back." After saying that, Han Lingxue stood up, ready to walk out.

Originally, when they broke up, Li Kuo had given Han Lingxue ten million, all his savings. Otherwise, when Li Kuo's mother was in the hospital, he wouldn't have been so broke as to borrow money from Xiaofan.

"Hey, sister, where are you going?" Han Shengjun quickly called out.

"I, I'm going to the hospital to see Auntie…" Han Lingxue, blushing, glanced shyly at Li Kuo, then briskly ran out.

"Li San... Walk sister-in-law out." Xiaofan immediately said.

"Ah? Eh. Got it…" After Li San came back to his senses, he quickly grabbed the car keys and followed her out.

"Hey, but…" Li Kuo couldn't get past this point.

"There's no 'but.' You're no longer young, and the only son in the family." Xiaofan persuaded.

"What about you? Didn't you also use such extreme measures on Liu Siyan? Back then, didn't you also leave her without a choice?" Li Kuo suddenly retorted.

Hearing this, Xiaofan was stunned. Indeed, he could critique others but not himself.

"I'm different from you; I was targeted by an Assassination Order."

"If I followed you and did this, wouldn't it be the same as being targeted by an Assassination Order?" Li Kuo calmly replied.

"Uh, what are you talking about? It sounds serious; I'm really sorry for interrupting your important affairs," Han Shengjun apologized sincerely at that point.

Mentioning the important matters, Xiaofan and Li Kuo suddenly looked at Chen Lanfen, who was eating by herself. Right, the important matters haven't been resolved yet.
