Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 1055 Your Mother is Not Dead
"Brother..." Li Sixu looked at the half bowl of bitter melon with a confused look on his face. He didn't like bitter melon either.
Li Siyan ignored Li Sixu's aggrieved look and stroked his brother's head. "Brother, look at you. There's still so much rice left in your bowl. How can you not have something to go with it? All the bitter melon in my bowl is for you to go with the rice. And don't you like bitter melon very much?"
"I don't..." Li Sixu just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by his brother.
"You ate the bitter melon right at the beginning, and you ate it so quickly. I knew at a glance that you preferred bitter melon. Look at me, I kept it for you until the end. Isn't your brother very good to you? Come and eat it quickly." Li Siyan pushed the bowl over and looked at him with a smile on his face.
Li Sixu's round eyes almost burst into tears when he saw the bitter melon in the bowl. He looked like a wronged bag with a wrinkled face, and he looked distressed.
"Master, you can't bully the young master like this."
Li Siyan said confidently: "How could I bully my brother? I feel so sorry for him. He is so thin, he should eat more. Besides, didn't you say that eating bitter melon is good for you? Brother, if you eat bitter melon, you will grow taller. Maybe you can grow taller than me." As he spoke, he gestured with his hands and feet.
Li Sixu did not compromise because of the saying "You will grow taller if you eat all the bitter melons". He had eaten all the bitter melons in his bowl. These were all left over by his brother. He did not like to eat other people's leftovers, even if that person was his brother.
Moreover, he did not believe that eating well would make him taller. He and his brother ate the same food every day. He ate well and tried not to be picky about food.
His brother was tall, and thinking about this...he became sad and didn't want to pay attention to his brother.
Li Siyan leaned over, got close to Li Sixu's ear, and begged in a baby voice: "Brother, please help me this time, I will help you in the future and I will protect you."
As an older brother, he didn't protect him. Every time he made a mistake and made his father angry, he would drag him into the water. Li Sixu rolled his eyes, looked at the bitter melon in the bowl and sighed. Although he was very reluctant, seeing his brother clasped his hands and begged him, he still picked up the chopsticks in front of him.
Just when he was about to eat, a shadow came over. Li Sixu turned his head and saw that it was his father. The bitter melon he had just picked up fell down.
"Li Siyan, you're not eating well again!" Li Jinxing said in a calm voice.
As soon as Li Siyan saw his father, he immediately became obedient and said obediently: "I ate well, Dad, look, my bowl is clean..."
"Don't lie. I heard everything in the living room." Li Jinxing didn't yell at them. He just needed to put on a slightly stern face and show the same expression he used to face employees in the company, and the two children would not be able to withstand it.
Li Siyan was so scared that tears were about to come out. She stammered and didn't say a word, biting her lower lip, with her little hands clenched together.
Seeing his action, Li Jinxing was stunned, thinking that Gu Wanqiu also liked to do such little actions.
"Eat your meal, and I'll take you to find your mother after you finish eating."
When Li Siyan heard that they were going to look for their mother, her face was filled with shock, but she was no longer afraid. Children are children, their attention is easily distracted, and their emotions come and go quickly.
"Looking for mom? Looking for a new mom?"
Li Li Jinxing rarely mentioned their mother. He had heard a lot of things. Some people said that he and his brother were abandoned by their mother, and that their mother ran away and didn't want them anymore after giving birth to them. Others said that their mother died in an accident. He was too young to tell the details.
But between the two, he would rather believe the former. At least his mother is still alive and there is a chance to see her again.
He was too young to understand what "hate" meant. In his little head, he thought that although his mother did not like him and his brother, she still gave birth to them. The teacher said that mothers are great and giving birth to a baby is very painful. Many mothers died while giving birth to babies.
Moreover, he and his younger brother are living a good life now. They have food to eat, clothes to wear, and an aunt to take care of them. They don't have to worry about anything, except... his father looks a little serious and cold.
Li Jinxing looked at his eldest son who was keeping his head down and not saying anything, not knowing what he was thinking. He thought that the mention of his mother had touched upon a deep wound in his heart.
His sleeve was gently pulled, and Li Jinxing turned his head to look at his second son Li Sixu.
"Dad, when you say looking for a mom, do you mean looking for a new mom?" They are indeed brothers, and they even think the same thing.
Li Jinxing shook his head: "No, it's your biological mother."
Li Sixu tilted his head in confusion, his big eyes filled with puzzlement: "But isn't our mother dead?"
Li Jinxing frowned, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes: "Who told you that your mother is dead?"
Li Sixu was frightened by his eyes, and loosened his sleeves and dodged to the side. At this time, Li Siyan squeezed his small body in front of his brother. He had just said that he would protect his brother.
If his brother is afraid, of course he has to be by his side.
"Many people say so. After all, our mother has never appeared. When can I, Dad, see Mom? What kind of person is she? Is she really as beautiful as in the portrait?" Li Siyan successfully changed the subject.
Li Jinxing said: "It won't be long before you can see her. When you do, you must be good and obedient, and don't scare her."
"My brother and I are so cute, how could we possibly scare Mom? But we will definitely behave well. Mom only likes good kids. If you're too naughty, she won't be able to keep you."
This kid is so smart that he just says everything that's on his mind.
Li Siyan grabbed Li Jinxing's clothes and shook them: "Dad, you haven't answered me yet, is Mom really as beautiful as the portrait?"
Li Jinxing was silent for a moment, thinking of Gu Wanqiu's face after plastic surgery. He didn't know why Gu Wanqiu had plastic surgery. You know, what Gu Wanqiu cared about most was her face. That face was beautiful, like a diamond under the sun, dazzling. Now, except for her eyes, her face is nothing like her before.
To have such a plastic surgery, who knows how many surgeries and bones had to be moved, and... Gu Wanqiu is allergic to anesthesia, how did she endure it?
Thinking of this, Li Jinxing clenched his fists. Could it be that she was trying to avoid him? Was she willing to go to such lengths to avoid him? But why didn't she remember him? Was she acting?
impossible.
Li Jinxing retorted subconsciously.
He remembered that night very clearly. Gu Wanqiu's reaction was definitely not an act. If she really remembered him, she would not have done it because of him.
He was restrained by him for the sake of Gong Qing.
