Chapter 397 An Honest Official Skillfully Resolves Family Disputes

The little lion panicked. Oh no, this is so embarrassing!

I've always been a little lamb in front of my senior, but now I'm doomed, I've been completely exposed.

What will my senior think of me from now on? How can I face him again?

That was a mistake. We should have checked my senior's whereabouts first.

boom……

She closed the door, opened the refrigerator, and chug down a bottle of beverage before calming down.

But this calm was only temporary. A single word from her senior brother reignited her anger, and Longkui was about to turn red again.

"Apologize." Liu Jing said with a stern face. No matter what happened, this kind of behavior could not be tolerated.

After Liu Shishi apologizes, he will settle the family dispute. Whoever is in the wrong will be judged fairly, and he will enforce the law impartially. Those who deserve punishment will be punished severely, without mercy.

"Why should I apologize? She broke the agreement first!" Liu Shishi retorted to her senior brother, suddenly feeling wronged, and began to cry as well.

Liu Jing was most afraid of women crying, especially his own woman.

He was already at his wit's end when a woman cried.

The two women were crying, and he felt like he was going to explode.

The issue of the convention flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

"I didn't, you broke the rules first." Yang Mi refused to admit it, because she had done nothing wrong and acted uprightly.

"When did I break the rules? My senior brother was on vacation, so I just sent him a text message." Liu Shishi naturally denied it.

"Now," Yang Mi choked up.

Liu Shishi felt a surge of anger rising in her chest. She was furious; she realized she had indeed violated the first rule of the group agreement. She respected the group admin, but she had leaked group secrets to her senior brother.

Just as she was about to explain, Yang Mi wiped away her tears and said, "Tell her to delete the photos first."

"Liu Shishi..." Liu Jing was furious, pointing at the little lion, his finger trembling.

You actually took pictures? Wasn't Teacher Chen's lesson severe enough?

He wanted to scold the little lion, but after thinking about what had happened to him, he swallowed his words.

If Yang Mi took the photo, he could scold her with a clear conscience.

However, since the little lion had been photographed by Sisi before, his extreme behavior seems understandable, after all, Sisi was the one who started it.

"Delete it yourself." Little Lion tossed the phone to Yang Mi. Since he'd been caught red-handed, there was no way he could keep it, so he might as well just let it go.

"Password." Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more at ease doing it herself.

"118811."

Liu Jing slumped down, lowered his arm, sighed deeply, and couldn't utter any more words of reprimand.

"Okay." Yang Mi stopped crying and took the opportunity to look through Liu Shishi's photo album and text messages.

Yesterday, she suspected that Liu Shishi had broken the agreement first, and while chatting with her older brother, she subtly inquired and ruled out Xiao Shizi as a suspect.

I was just curious when I looked through his phone; I wondered how those "green tea bitches" flirted with their seniors.

The little lion silently put away his phone, feeling a little embarrassed. How could he have taken such a photo? Now he was in the wrong even though he was in the right.

"Apologize to Mimi first," Liu Jing said, his tone softening considerably, but he still insisted on sticking to his principles.

He didn't want to ask about any agreements. Qianqian and Shuchang, Qianqian and Jingtian, Qianqian and Pangbing, Pangbing and Xiaodao—these couples all had agreements in private.

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi have been getting along very well lately, and it's normal that they've reached an agreement.

Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't. Sometimes it's better to be a little oblivious, because ultimately, he'll be the one who benefits from these agreements.

"I'm sorry." Liu Shishi bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

When two armies clash, the first attack is the most powerful, the second is less so, and the third is the weakest.

She failed to catch Yang Mi in the act; instead, Yang Mi caught her in the act.

Besides, she knew her senior brother was angry, and she had indeed gone too far today.

If you soften your stance and apologize, you can salvage your image in your senior's eyes.

As for the score with Yang Mi, that will be settled later; this matter is not over yet.

"Tell me, what happened?" Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. As an honest official, he was able to skillfully resolve family disputes, and his first step was very successful.

Half a minute later, there was no response.

"Are you two mute?" Liu Jing said irritably. "What exactly happened?"

“She bullied me,” Yang Mi responded.

"She lied to me," the little lion choked up.

"and then?"

Then the two women shook their heads at the same time, making Liu Jing's head spin even more.

"You two are really something else. Don't tell me it's just a random thing, you two just ended up like this?"

"When you bully us, is there a reason?" The little lion pouted. He couldn't talk about the agreement, so it really was for no reason.

"Shishi, I now seriously doubt your sexual orientation." Liu Jing looked strange; the scene just now had truly overturned his worldview.

"The meat's already rotting in the pot, what are you worried about?" the little lion muttered under his breath.

"I..." Liu Jing grabbed his hair, his junior sister looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and he was a little frantic.

"Pfft..."

Yang Mi laughed. Her older brother had ruffled his hair into a mess, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry about what's going on between us. Yuanyuan is going to the US tomorrow, so you should go back to your parents' house while she's still there." The little lion's tense face relaxed.

Liu Jing was furious. What kind of talk is this? If I don't care, who will? Who can possibly care about this?

"I think you two are both asking for a beating, one of you is asking for it..."

“Damn.” Yang Mi replied, glancing at Liu Shishi.

"If you're not convinced, put your clothes on properly, and we'll have another round." The little lion said calmly, "You're definitely more deserving than me. You beat me to it at the start of the new year."

"I'll practice then, today I'll have the wood as my witness... Ah..." Yang Mi got up, her feet hadn't even touched the ground yet when she cried out in pain.

It's normal for people to get hurt when they fight indoors on marble floors.

Her knee hit the ground, and she had several bruises on her leg.

There's no bleeding, just internal injuries. Things were weighing on me earlier, and now that things are calmed down, I feel pain all over.

"How did you get injured?" Liu Jing frowned, becoming increasingly curious.

"It's nothing, we just had a fight. She took advantage of me, I didn't." Yang Mi rubbed her knee, she'd held a grudge. If she gets the chance, it won't just be a kiss.

"You guys have fun," Liu Jing said coldly, getting up and leaving.

one two Three……

As soon as Liu Jing left the bedroom, Yang Mi, ignoring her pain, hurriedly got out of bed, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."

“We have a small group chat with six people: Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Tangtang, Jingtian, Baibing, and the two of us. One day, the two of us were talking about competing for roles in the 'Three Kingdoms' series in the group chat, and Mimi suggested that we shouldn’t engage in malicious competition. Since we’re bound to clash in the future, we might as well make an agreement beforehand. The six of us discussed it for a few days and came up with three agreements…” Liu Shishi didn’t try to stop us and got straight to the point.

Yang Mi was bitter inside. "Damn it, I should have spoken first." "We're vying for the role of Lin Weiwei in 'My Love from the Star.' The day before yesterday, I contacted Yang Mi, saying I was bored at home during the Lunar New Year and wanted to go out. She said she was visiting relatives on the second day and didn't have time, promising to reschedule. I was also visiting relatives on the second day, and when I passed by Baiyujing, I saw Yang Mi's car parked at the entrance..." Liu Shishi briefly recounted what had happened, concluding, "She definitely broke the agreement, otherwise why would she lie to me? I went to her house today to confront her, and she was rude, so we got into a fight."

Of course, the little lion wouldn't admit that he missed his senior brother too much, at least not in front of Yang Mi.

To my senior in private, that's deep affection. But with Yang Mi around, that's just being flirtatious.

Yang Mi wanted to say something, but everyone else had already said it. The earlier things weren't a problem; it was normal for Liu Shishi to suspect her, as she herself had suspected Liu Shishi before.

You come in, I greet you and offer you a drink, is that considered bad manners?

Your face is as stern as Abbess Miejue, and you resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. Who is really in a bad mood?

She wanted to get to the bottom of things; her older brother had clearly been angry earlier, so she shouldn't make things worse.

"Shishi, this is the first time I've heard about the agreement. Mimi contacted me yesterday mainly because she missed me, not because of the role." Liu Jing finally understood—a wonderful misunderstanding.

The little lion is rather stubborn and inflexible, lacking the carefree spirit of a typical Yandu girl.

The girls from Yandu have several characteristics: they're talkative, a bit naive, kind-hearted, and quite straightforward. Little Lion, a native of Yandu, isn't talkative at all, doesn't speak with a Beijing accent, and lacks the typical Yandu girl's bravado.

"I miss you too," the little lion confessed.

“Sigh! Shishi, don’t do this again. You two are best friends, best friends for life. No matter who gets hurt, I’ll be the one who gets hurt in the end. I hope you’re both well, well every day, well every month, well every year. I hope we can all be well…” Liu Jing put her arm around the little lion and spoke her heart.

"Senior brother, I was wrong. I was too impulsive today. I won't do it again next time." The little lion admitted her mistake, her eyes brimming with tears, moved by her senior brother's sweet words. If her other arm hadn't been around Yang Mi, she would have been even more touched.

"I was wrong too. I was a bit harsh today. Shishi, you know I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I didn't mean any harm."

Yang Mi secretly rolled her eyes. "You're going to do it again? Heh, next time, who knows who'll get the better of whom."

“I started the fight today, so the fault lies entirely with me. I’m at your disposal, senior brother.”

Liu Shishi secretly pursed her lips. "You're not just sharp-tongued, you're just incredibly sarcastic. If it weren't for your senior brother's sake, I wouldn't have let you off today."

“Shishi, Mimi came to see me yesterday. I brought up ‘My Love from the Star’ on her own initiative. She also thought you were quite suitable for the role and voluntarily stepped down. Mimi is a year older than you and has a very mature older sister demeanor, which is rare. She is shrewd, but not malicious, and has a broad mind. She is a bit gossipy, but she doesn’t mean any harm; she just likes to vent. You two have known each other for so many years, you should know what kind of person she is better than I do.”

Liu Jing was quite pleased; having two women on either side was nothing unusual. Thanks to his skillful intervention, the two were getting along very well.

"You really want to give it to me?" Liu Shishi was stunned. If her senior brother said so, then it must be true. Yang Mi was a habitual liar; her senior brother wouldn't lie to her.

"Sigh! You saw Lin Weiwei's character introduction too, right? We filmed 'Chinese Paladin 3' together, and you played Long Kui very well, really very well. I saw it all. President Cai even wanted me to play Long Kui before, thank goodness I didn't go. We both played two roles, but your performance was far more outstanding. You brought Long Kui to life, and you can bring Lin Weiwei to life too. You're definitely more suitable for this role than I am." Yang Mi sighed. Things really can't be delayed. If she had told Liu Shishi yesterday, she wouldn't be suffering like this today.

The little lion got up from his senior brother's arms and bowed to Yang Mi, "Sister Mi, I'm sorry."

The first apology was forced upon me, and I was very unwilling.

The second apology was just a perfunctory gesture to make my senior brother happy.

This is the third apology, and the attitude is very sincere.

"It's alright, we're family." Yang Mi said with a self-deprecating laugh. Only her own sisters would be so ruthless; she'd learned her lesson today. If it were a stranger, she would definitely have called the police today. Did they really think the police station was deserted?

"Hey, what are you doing?" Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, instinctively shrinking into her older brother's arms. Little Lion was taking off his coat, and Yang Mi thought he was about to attack her again.

"I know apologizing won't help, I've already hurt you. You can bully me however you want." The little lion took off his coat and then his sweater.

"Nonsense!" Liu Jing shouted. If nothing else happened later, he would definitely deal with them all at once.

He and Gao Yuanyuan had arranged a time and place, and time was running out.

"Fine, fine, tomorrow night Mu Tou and I will come to your house to play. We'll gang up on you and tease you." Yang Mi was both amused and exasperated. She felt truly wronged to be defeated by such a serious woman.

"See you at the Lion Grove Garden tomorrow! We'll have hot pot at home." The little lion readily agreed, then hesitated for a moment, "But you have to come pick me up from my house, otherwise... otherwise..."

The little lion was hesitant to speak, but Liu Jing and Yang Mi exchanged a glance, both understanding.

"Wood has prepared a gift, but he's too shy to come to your house, so he asked me to deliver it for him. I'll come to your house tomorrow, visit the relatives, pick you up, and then give you a good bath and put you on Wood's bed. You don't have to do anything, just bend over and wait." Yang Mi didn't dare to laugh. Every family has its own problems. Old Yang is more open-minded, but that doesn't mean all parents are.

"Pah..." the little lion spat lightly, "Such vulgar language."

"Alright, no need to apologize like that. Mimi hurt her knee, please help her treat it." Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and could leave with peace of mind.

The two remained at loggerheads, and he felt uneasy even when he went to Gao Yuanyuan's house.

"it is good."

"Oh right. Shishi is right here. You can have her take the gifts later." Yang Mi didn't want to bother moving the boxes around.

Liu Jing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it, it'll be hard to explain if Shishi goes home. When you go to her house tomorrow, don't say I brought her, otherwise you won't even get a meal."

"Hehe, it's easy to manage the harem, but difficult to deal with the maternal relatives," Yang Mi said, amused.

"What nonsense!" Liu Jing said irritably.

"Uncle Gao is an engineer at the Third Research Institute of the Space Agency. If you take his daughter as a concubine, be careful when you go to her house tonight. Don't forget to bring silver needles. Test the food and tea for poison before you put them in your mouth. It's best to keep them completely dry, as silver needles are not very reliable. Also, don't drink too much. Look at how many extras on TV have been killed after drinking too much."

Yang Mi kept nagging, and Liu Jing's face darkened. "Can't you wish me well for once?"
He and the Gao family had a fairly harmonious relationship. The Yang family was led by Old Master Yang, while the Gao family was led by the old lady.

At first, Mr. Gao was very angry. He thought his little cabbage deserved to die for being treated so badly.

Later, Liu Jing accompanied Gao Yuanyuan to treat her mother's illness and often went to the hospital. In addition, Gao Yuanyuan's career was getting better and better, and the family gradually accepted the reality.

"You're really suited to acting in palace dramas," Liu Jing said irritably.

"Of course, I'll definitely survive to the end, even Xixi won't... Damn, Liu Shishi, what are you doing? I bumped my knee, it's not like I broke it." Yang Mi was feeling smug when Liu Shishi pushed her wheelchair over.

This wheelchair was a gift from Liu Shishi to Yang Mi, and she was quite familiar with where it was kept.

The little lion let out a soft "oh," muttering to itself that it had been a bit too gentle and thought the lion wouldn't be able to walk anymore.

"There's a first-aid kit in the TV cabinet." Yang Mi pouted. "It's Chinese New Year, is this some kind of curse?"

"Shishi was worried about how badly you were injured," Liu Jing defended his junior sister.

"Tch! You have no idea, I was genuinely terrified when she hit me just now. She's practically a reincarnation of Hong Longkui. I get hit by her in the drama, and I get hit by her in real life. She's gotten so used to it." Yang Mi took the opportunity to play the victim.

The little lion came over carrying a medicine box, and Yang Mi stopped talking.

"Shishi, what are your plans for Tangren this year?" Liu Jing stood up, said a few more words, and then took his leave.

"Sister K helped me get a role in 'The Legend of the White Snake: The Sequel' before the Lunar New Year. Filming starts in May and wraps up in July, which will coincide with filming 'My Love from the Star.' The company is currently working on 'The Mythical Weaver Girl,' which is expected to start filming at the end of the year. My main tasks for next year are these three dramas," Little Lion explained to his senior while applying medicine to Yang Mi.

"The Mythical Weaver Girl, what kind of script is it?" Yang Mi's eyes lit up. She would inquire first, then keep an eye out, maybe there would be a role suitable for her.

"I haven't read it yet. It's about Huang Daopo, the mother of textiles." The little lion shook his head.

"Huang Daopo? I think I'm quite suitable," Yang Mi muttered.

The little lion didn't want to bother with it; this was a show by Sugar Man, and you were nowhere near suitable. Without signing with Sugar Man, how could Sister K possibly give you an important role? They could offer you a small role, but you wouldn't want it.

So you should probably skip the sugar figurine play.

She hesitated for a moment, "There's another film, but... I don't really want to take it."

"If you don't want to answer, then don't. Who would dare to make things difficult for you? Old Cai, huh?"

"Your sister."

The words struck a chord, and Liu Jing fell silent.

The little lion snorted and continued his barrage of attacks, "She said that 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' will start filming at the end of the year and has reserved a role for me."

"Fairy, uh, Sisi is still so good to you, she didn't even leave me a role." Yang Mi wanted to say that Fairy was taking care of Little Fairy, but after saying just two words, her knee was pressed down hard by Little Lion, and she quickly changed her words.

"She also said that if I didn't agree, she would share the photos with some people." Another blow from the little lion.

"What photos? You absolutely mustn't agree to this." Yang Mi was very excited, and her leg no longer hurt at all.
