Li Changpu walked into a small courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, several men stood up excitedly and greeted him:

"Here comes Calamus."

"It's been so many years since we last met. You've become so strong now."

Li Changpu laughed a few times and recognized his old friend, "Brother Zhuang" and "Old He"

Several people came up to him, shook hands and hugged him warmly.

At this time, someone noticed that Li Changpu's hand was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze and asked in surprise, "What happened? Is he injured?"

Li Changpu said awkwardly, "What injury? I was just scalded by hot water."

"Oh, you're wrapped like this. I thought you broke a bone. You scared me."

Li Changpu was a little embarrassed and said, "My wife bandaged it for me."

Everyone joked, "I heard from the old squad leader that you are married. Look, you are someone who loves you now."

"That's right," they said when they first met Li Changpu. Every time he got hurt, he acted like nothing happened and said nothing. They said, "We thought you were an iron man who didn't feel pain."

"At that time, the leaders regarded you as a positive example and used you to teach us a lesson. The key point is that you were only a young boy at that time. We, the old brothers, had to learn from you. Think about it, you are really hated."

When everyone talked about the past, there was another burst of laughter.

Song Ping came into the room carrying a plate of peanuts. "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

He looked at Li Changpu again, "Xiao Li, here you come."

Li Changpu held up a bottle of wine and said, "Old squad leader, how can I help you?"

Song Ping looked at the gift box that Li Changpu was carrying and thought for a moment, "Really? Come into the kitchen and give me a hand."

"Row."

Everyone was busy setting up the table and moving chairs outside, while Li Changpu and Song Ping went into the kitchen.

Li Changpu had just picked up a plate of food when Song Ping said, "Wow, Xiao Li, you've made a fortune."

Song Ping was staring at the watch on his left wrist. He said, "This watch is not cheap."

Li Changpu was about to say something when he heard Song Ping say, "And the wine you mentioned, the packaging box looks familiar to me."

Song Ping gave an address, "Did you buy it there?"

Li Changpu hadn't been to Wenhai for many years and was somewhat unfamiliar with the place, so when he mentioned visiting Song Ping's house today and thought about bringing some gifts, the first thing he thought of was the department store where Jiang Tingxia took him shopping last time.

Song Ping joked, "Many people only see that tall building and have no idea where it is. I've been in Wenhai for so many years and I've only been there a few times."

Seeing that Li Changpu was a little confused, Song Ping explained, "I can't afford it. As soon as I stepped in with my left foot, I could hear the sound of money rustling."

"One trip here costs me a month's salary."

Li Changpu frowned when he heard this.

Then Song Ping said, "I looked at your wife's file last time. Her last name is Jiang. I know where you got this watch."

"But I have to tell you, you should be aware of your status and avoid going there."

Li Changpu felt that what Song Ping said seemed to have some profound meaning.

"The situation has been tense recently."

Song Ping said, "Last time your wife wanted to go abroad, but she didn't complete all the formalities and even went to board a black ship. As a result, she was arrested before she even set sail. This kind of thing is not uncommon nowadays, so you still have to pay attention."

Li Changpu was a little surprised, "You mean..."

Song Ping shook his head, "No one knows what hasn't happened."

"Besides, I didn't say anything."

Song Ping pointed at the dish and said, "Bring the dishes out. We're ready to eat."

Li Changpu did not ask any more questions, as he already knew what Song Ping wanted to tell him.

It was already dark when he returned. Jiang Tingxia pulled him to change the medicine as soon as he saw him come in.

Seeing the back of Li Changpu's hand was red and swollen, Jiang Tingxia comforted him, "That's how burns are. You don't feel it at first, but it gets more and more painful later."

She asked again, "How is it, does it hurt a lot?"

Li Changpu had no expression on his face. "It doesn't hurt, just a little itchy."

Jiang Tingxia used a cotton swab to apply the ointment on him. The ointment was icy cold. The girl lowered her head and spoke seriously, but she was not forgiving. "Fortunately, you have thick skin. You didn't cry out in pain even though you were burned so badly. You even said it was just a little itchy."

She said with a straight face, "But don't scratch it if it itches, or it will heal more slowly."

She also told him not to let the wound come into contact with water, and asked him to simply wash it at night.

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia who was sitting next to him and applying medicine to him, and said, "Didn't you buy a plane ticket last time you went abroad?"

"Why do you bring this up suddenly?"

Jiang Tingxia gently controlled the force of the cotton swab and said, "Yes, the procedures they asked us to go through were very complicated. I thought there was no hope at all, so I boarded the black ship."

Li Changpu reminded, "You have also discovered that the situation has changed. I think the Jiang family is very likely to be targeted. You should persuade your family to keep a low profile in the future."

According to Li Changpu's personality, he would not care about these things and would just let things go as they should.

But this is Jiang Tingxia's family after all, and this is not a trivial matter. The consequence of making a mistake is irreparable, so what needs to be said must be said.

But that was all he had to say.

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu's serious expression and suddenly felt that the world might really have changed. His grandfather had always been worried about this day when he was alive, and it finally came.

She went downstairs and told everyone in the Jiang family about this matter, but no one cared.

Jiang Hai brought up the award he had given to his grandfather in the past, looking nonchalant. He pointed confidently at the words on the wall and said, as long as this thing is hanging on the wall, no matter who copies it, it will never be the Jiang family.

Jiang Hai was like this, not to mention Jiang Tinghe who jumped up and down when he saw her. "I didn't know you before, but you love to show off. When no one cares about you, you make up these stories to scare us. You want to live the life like before when everyone praised you and everyone looked up to you."

"ridiculous."

Seeing that his explanation was not making sense, Jiang Tingxia stood up and said, "I am just guessing. It is up to you whether to listen or not."

Her well-intentioned reminder resulted in such a result, and she left with a feeling of anger in her heart.

Jiang Tingxia walked around the fountain in boredom. The Border Collie dog raised by the Jiang family jumped around her, so Jiang Tingxia played with the dog for a while.

Unexpectedly, she ran into someone she didn't want to see.

Jiang Tingxia turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jia Ruiwen.

"Ting Xia, you refused to say a word to me all day."

Jiang Tingxia didn't want to listen to him, so she glared at him and said, "Get lost."

Jia Ruiwen's eyes flashed with sadness, "Are you blaming me? Blaming me for abandoning you and now wanting to marry Jiang Tinghe."

Jiang Tingxia said, "Your affairs have nothing to do with me."

She blamed the Jiang family for deceiving her, and also blamed Jia Ruiwen for dealing her another heavy blow when she needed help the most.

But she couldn't avoid the Jiang family, and had to come back to flatter and scheme against these people. But it was different with Jia Ruiwen. Once she broke up with him, she could forget about him easily and put him behind her completely. She didn't want to say a word to him.
