Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 558: Chapter 551: What a Messed-Up Circle

Upon learning of Tian Xinhua’s status in G City, Li Junji had made up his mind to relocate the factory to F City, but this was not a trivial matter and required careful planning.

After finishing the business talk, Sisi started to discuss personal affairs with Li Junji.

"Last time I saw Brother Chunfeng and Mo Hui, they both seemed unhappy, what happened?" Sisi asked.

Li Junji curled his lips dismissively, "Just the troubles of love!"

Li Junji was indeed a gossip lover. In Hong Kong, he was cautious not to talk about these things due to concern for the Li Family’s reputation, but he didn’t have any scruples in front of Sisi—one, she wasn’t a Hong Kong person, and two, she was a mutual friend, so it was fine to chat about these things.

Thus, Li Six, full of gossip, spilled the entire melodramatic love history between He Chunfeng and Mo Hui.

One was talking with beaming joy, while the other was listening with frequent astonishment!

It turned out that Miss He Shishi’s demeanor had changed drastically since returning from Huang Yuan, no longer quarreling with her husband Li Zhaoji. The Li family thought He Shishi had realized her role as a wife of a powerful family and felt quite relieved.

Little did they know that He Shishi was biding her time, and half a year later, she presented a wall-thick stack of scandalous photos of Li Zhaoji, seeking a divorce.

Although neither the He nor the Li families wanted to break this tie, He Shishi was determined, insisting on a divorce. If the Li family didn’t agree, she would send the photos to the gossip tabloids.

So a year ago, Miss He regained her single status and reappeared in the glamorous socialite circles of Hong Kong.

What was even more surprising was that shortly after her divorce, He Shishi appeared to be getting along famously with the popular star, Brother Li. Paparazzi had caught intimate photos of them multiple times.

He Shishi didn’t seem to avoid discussing her relationship with Brother Li in front of reporters, admitting they were dating, and Brother Li didn’t deny it either. This truly shocked the eyes of Hong Kong people.

One was a wealthy heiress, a former powerful family’s daughter-in-law, and the other, a sought-after Asian male star, and a gangster boss to boot. This pair was like a depth charge, wasn’t it?

Recalling how He Shishi had clung to Brother Li after being rescued from Liu Chunsheng’s house, Sisi didn’t find it strange at all!

"Even if He Shishi is together with Brother Li, what does that have to do with Mo Hui?" Sisi didn’t understand—could it be that Mo Hui liked Brother Li?

Li Junji curled his lips again, Sisi noticed a trace of wistfulness in his eyes.

"Ah Hui likes He Chunfeng, but He Chunfeng likes Brother Li, and now Brother Li is hot and heavy with He Shishi, do you understand now?"

Sisi’s head spun with this indirect explanation—it sure was complicated!

Who would have thought that Mo Hui would fall for the funny Brother Chunfeng? Unfortunately, these feelings were doomed from the start, as a man who’s already bent was unlikely to straighten out, right?

"Then why are you upset?"

Sisi’s sudden attack made Li Junji’s face flush red, and he stammered awkwardly, "Who says I’m upset? Don’t talk nonsense."

"Oh, I get it, you must like Ah Hui too?" Sisi teased deliberately, to which Li Junji’s face instantly turned as red as blood.

Sisi was also stunned; had she inadvertently guessed the truth?

Li Junji liked Mo Hui, yet Mo Hui liked He Chunfeng, He Chunfeng pined for Brother Li, Brother Li was with He Shishi, who was Li Junji’s former sister-in-law and also He Chunfeng’s cousin.

This intertwined relationship?

Sisi just wanted to exclaim: What a chaotic circle!

Seeing Li Junji’s awkwardness, Sisi didn’t dwell further on the matter and laughingly changed the subject. Li Junji finally relaxed and returned to his elite persona as Sixth Young Master Li.

When Sisi went back, she specially bought some gossip magazines. As expected, the headlines featured He Shishi and Brother Li, filled with very intimate photos, some quite bold, suggesting that the two were indeed dating.

Brother Li has always been a playboy, untouched by any relationship, and who knows how much sincerity he’s really put into this romance?

Sisi shook her head, not wanting to think about their affair any longer. It’s true that Brother Li is a pro at love games, but He Shishi is no naive little bunny either. Who’ll come out on top is anyone’s guess.

However, Sisi didn’t dwell on it for long, as she soon found out the answer.

A few days after returning from the electronics company, Brother Li casually dropped a bombshell at the Qiao Family’s breakfast table.

"Big brother, once this mission is over, I’m going to prepare for marriage. Xingzai will take care of the wedding arrangements."

’Pfft’

Collective spit-take ING...

Except for Little Dudu who was still clueless and Tian Xinhua who was out of the loop. Little Dudu frowned in disgust, hating how the adults were being so uncivilized!

Tian Xinhua, on the other hand, calmly patted the coughing Sisi on the back and offered her water to drink.

Brother Li raised an eyebrow, puzzled by everyone’s reaction, and continued to slurp his porridge quietly.

"Ah Li, the bride wouldn’t happen to be that Lady He, would she?" Boss Qiao was in the know about these juicy details.

"Yep!"

Brother Li squeezed out a single cool word, seemingly unwilling to let the others interrogate him, and quickly gave a reason: "Shishi is pregnant."

"Pfft"

Another collective spit-take ING.....

Tears were coughed out by Sisi, who stared resentfully at Brother Li, "Brother Li, can’t you just say it all at once? How are we supposed to eat properly?"

The rest of the group felt the same and nodded in unison.

Boss Qiao was the most excited, forgetting to eat as he eagerly pressed Brother Li with questions, "How many months is Miss He? Have you picked a date? Have you met with the parents? What does the He family say?"

Brother Li and brothers like Brother Fei had been following him since they were little, and as orphans, to Boss Qiao, Brother Li and Brother Fei were like his own sons, so he felt obliged to fulfill his parental responsibilities.

Brother Li frowned and shook his head, uncertain, "I think it’s about 15 weeks."

How was he supposed to guess how long He Shishi had been pregnant? And marriage—why is it so troublesome? Or maybe just forget about getting married at all?

Boss Qiao understood Brother Li’s temperament the best and could tell what he was thinking by his expression. He immediately shouted, "Don’t worry about these things; just focus on being the groom. And don’t participate in the operation next week. It’s bad luck to see blood before getting married."

"No, if I’m not allowed to participate, I won’t get married," Brother Li firmly opposed.

Boss Qiao gave him a lecture, but in the end, he couldn’t win against Brother Li’s stubbornness and had to agree to let him take part in the operation. He couldn’t help feeling that his authority as an elder brother was fading, his words no longer having any sway.

When Boss Qiao turned to see Brother Fei grinning at the side, and remembered that this guy still didn’t have a serious partner, he proceeded with what was the one-thousand-and-first attempt at a lesson about love.

"Fei Zai, Ah Li is about to become a dad, and you’re two years older than him. When are you going to settle down and find a decent woman to start a family with? Don’t always go after those dancers, how many of them are truly sincere?"

Brother Fei grew a headache upon hearing this, hastily finished his porridge, and used the excuse of having things to do for his clan to make his escape, leaving a helpless Boss Qiao who then turned to look at Qiao Xingbang.

Qiao Xingbang felt alarmed, quickly stuffed a few soup dumplings into his mouth, grabbed a few more with his hands, and called out, "Brother Fei, wait for me!"

And he too made a dash for it.
