Chapter 1252 His mother almost killed his father
He Tian: "Where are you going?"
Li Jinxing said: "Don't worry about it...just help me look after them at home." He just wanted to find a quiet place to think carefully.
But in He Tian's eyes, he was just trying to escape, so he quickly rushed over and blocked the door to prevent him from leaving.
"How long are you going to keep Si Yan around this time?"
"I have no intention of locking him up. He did all this voluntarily." Li Jinxing's eyebrows moved slightly, but his expression was still calm. The anger he had felt before had disappeared.
Li Jinxing reached out and felt in He Tian's shirt pocket, and took out cigarettes and a lighter.
He lit the cigarette, and He Tian subconsciously looked at the red dot on his fingertips. The cigarette butt flickered. Li Jinxing lowered his head and took a puff. The green smoke came out and rose slightly, leaving a small piece of burnt ash at the end of the cigarette.
"He can come out when he figures it out, or I can pick him up when I figure it out."
Now it depends on who figures it out first.
He Tian asked, "What if something happens at home while you're away?"
"You figure it out."
This means he is planning to be a hands-off boss and not take care of anything.
He Tian felt a headache. Li Jinxing's current state was completely different from the image of "Leili Fengxing" in his memory. What was the difference between him and a deserter who fled from the battlefield?
Li Jinxing continued to smoke. He hadn't smoked for a long time. He used to think that Gu Wanqiu didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Later, after he had two children, he would hug them every day when he came home. Thinking about the harm of secondhand smoke, he would not smoke.
When he encounters something annoying at work, he will chew mints or drink alcohol to solve the problem, and he has completely quit smoking.
Now he picked up the cigarette again. It was not sure whether this change was good or bad. The good thing was that he no longer catered to Gu Wanqiu's preferences. This was the beginning of letting go.
The downside is that he no longer thinks about his two children and never thinks about his own body.
Because he hadn't smoked for a long time, the first few puffs were too strong and choked his throat. He coughed a few times, his fingers trembled, and the gleaming ashes fell from the end of the cigarette.
Li Jinxing put out the cigarette with his fingertips, and it fell to the ground.
"I'm leaving." Li Jinxing said and turned around.
He Tian knew that he couldn't call him back. It might be better if Li Jinxing was not at home. Si Xu wouldn't have to worry, and he could also take care of Si Yan secretly and help Gu Wanqiu at the same time.
Therefore He Tian didn't stop him.
What was Li Jinxing worried about this time? Was it that Siyan was biased and sided with Gu Wanqiu instead of considering him? Or was it that Gu Wanqiu would eventually leave him?
Whether it was his best brothers and friends or the children he raised, they all hoped that he would let Gu Wanqiu go and let her leave.
If someone told him that he could keep Gu Wanqiu, he would definitely do what he wanted without hesitation.
After watching Li Jinxing drive away by himself, He Tian immediately went to the second floor to inquire about Gu Wanqiu's situation.
The doctor is performing surgery on Gu Wanqiu, reconnecting her broken right leg.
Without Li Jinxing's order, they definitely would not dare to perform bone-setting surgery on Gu Wanqiu.
It seems that Li Jinxing has figured it out, and it won't be long before Gu Wanqiu will be able to leave here.
He went to the basement again, turned on the light, and looked at Siyan who was kneeling in the corner.
"Why are you still kneeling..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Yan stood up from the ground: "Uncle He, why are you here? Where is Dad?"
When He Tian saw Si Yan stand up steadily without shaking his calves, he knew that he was pretending. He certainly couldn't kneel forever. If he did, his legs would be crippled before Li Jinxing came back, which would be a waste of time.
"He's out. I came to see you."
"Is Dad still angry?"
"I'm afraid he won't be able to calm down this anger." There was nothing in the basement. He Tian looked around and found no place to sit. Among the pile of debris, he saw plastic and some linen. It was so cold down there, and that was the only thing Si Yan could use to keep warm.
When Si Yan saw that it was He Tian coming down, he was obviously relieved. He then answered He Tian's original question: "I was sitting the whole time. I only knelt down when I heard the noise outside."
"Are you scared here?"
Si Yan nodded and shook his head twice: "Of course I was afraid, but I gradually got used to it. Compared to what my mother went through, I'm much better... How is my mother now?"
"The doctor is reattaching her leg. Her injury is quite serious and she will have to stay in bed for at least a month."
He Tian sighed, "You shouldn't have threatened your father with your own life in the first place. Your father raised you, and how much love did he put into you? You shouldn't have threatened him with your own life."
"I know..." Si Yan lowered his head and admitted his mistake obediently. In fact, he regretted it after he said it, but he couldn't change his words at that time.
"Uncle He, will my dad figure it out this time?"
He Tian rubbed his head and said, "Maybe. These are things that we adults should worry about. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."
Si Yan shook his head: "Even if you don't tell me, I will do this. Uncle He, please go out. I'm fine."
"What would you like me to bring you?"
"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat anything."
There was no way to stay here any longer, so He Tian prepared to go out. Si Yan behind him reminded him to turn off the lights when he went out.
Siyan has a strong ability to adapt. He was so scared that he cried when he was left here alone yesterday, but when he came in for the second time, he has gradually gotten used to it.
His face looked calm, but He Tian still caught a glimpse of uneasiness in his eyes.
"Uncle He."
He Tian, who was about to turn off the lights, stopped and looked inside.
Si Yan sat on the ground, looking up at him eagerly: "Mom...did she really almost kill Dad?"
Sure enough, Li Jinxing's last sentence still aroused Si Yan's suspicion.
He Tian didn't answer directly: "Si Yan, you are smarter than many people. Use your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your feelings, and your memory of what has happened recently... You should have the answer in your heart."
Si Yan gritted his teeth. He really hoped that He Tian would refute him, but he didn't. That meant that the most terrifying thing he had ever thought of was true.
He Tian turned off the lights, and the basement was pitch black, and Si Yan was nowhere to be seen.
He Tian went upstairs and accompanied Si Xu while observing the second floor and Gu Wanqiu's situation.
The operation was successful and all three broken parts were healed.
…
Li Jinxing didn't drive far, but went to the entertainment club closest to Qiule Manor, ordered a few bottles of wine, and drank them one by one in a quiet corner.
As the sky gradually darkened, more and more people came, and it became more and more lively. Even in such a crowded place, Li Jinxing was the most conspicuous one among them.
He sat in an inconspicuous corner, but he couldn't hide his oppressive aura. The less one paid attention to it, the more obvious it became.
More and more gazes intersected in the corner, and Li Jinxing also felt it, with a look of annoyance on his face. He rarely came to such a place.
Li runs various entertainment clubs under his name, and his business volume ranks among the top, but he rarely manages them himself. Instead, he leaves them to He Tian and Zhou Yi, and he rarely comes to such places.
His cold personality made him dislike being stared at, but he was born high and mighty, and was always the protagonist wherever he went. How could he possibly avoid all kinds of gazes?
However, Li Jinxing really doesn't like women getting close to him. Except for Gu Wanqiu, if other women approach him with impure intentions, he will feel a chill and irritation in his heart.
It was two o'clock in the morning, and Li Jinxing had been sitting here for seven hours. The wine he ordered was piled up on the entire table. He was a good drinker, probably inherited it from that man.
When doing business or socializing, it is inevitable to encounter toasts. At first, he was trying to please others, but as he had more money and higher status, more people came to please him.
He could choose not to drink from those who took the initiative to please him and toast him. Perhaps he was deeply influenced by that man and he also had a sense of rejection and disgust towards alcohol.
He touched the cold wine bottle. No matter how much he could drink, he had never drunk so much at one time. He felt a little dazed and his reaction was slow. He stared at one place in a daze without blinking, and gradually he saw double.
When other people are drunk, they don't think about anything, but he is the opposite and thinks a lot.
After leaving the Gu family, Li Jinxing secretly vowed to become a superior person, only in this way he would not be stepped on by others.
He did it, and since then, very few people disobeyed him, and very few unpleasant things happened. He always thought that he would have a smooth life.
But every time he meets Gu Wanqiu, he is helpless. Just like He Tian said, once Gu Wanqiu is involved, he will lose himself, become irrational, and easily angered. Most importantly... he will also implicate others.
He no longer resembled himself, and no wonder, sometimes, even He Tian, who always respected him, looked at him with disappointment.
If a relationship doesn't get better, but instead gets worse, becoming hysterical, manic and irritable, then it means he should leave.
Thinking about what happened recently, maybe he really should let Gu Wanqiu go free. How she lives in the future and who she is with has nothing to do with him.
What he thought in his mind was "it has nothing to do with him", but his heart betrayed him. Even though he was so cruel to Gu Wanqiu now, when he thought of her being with another man, his heart felt like it was being fiercely grasped by a hand.
Who would want Gu Wanqiu now? There should be no one else except Gong Qing. However, Gong Qing is now about to be sent back to Country M and will never be able to set foot here again. Even if he wants to take advantage of the opportunity, it will not be his turn to pick it up.
Just as he was thinking about it, a person suddenly appeared in front of him. Li Jinxing thought it was a waiter. He looked up and was stunned. Li Jinxing felt a little dizzy. He blinked hard with his sore eyes, his pupils focused on the man's face, making sure again and again that he was not mistaken.
It was a familiar face, a face that remained in his memory, a face that existed deep in his heart. To be precise, it was Gu Wanqiu's past face.
"Mr. Li, we meet again, what a coincidence." The woman held a mask in her hand, her eyebrows curved and her smile bright.
She is 70% similar to the Gu Wanqiu of the past, and that 70% resemblance is enough to carve out a key position for her in the entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she resembles Gu Wanqiu, she is not. He can imitate her face, but not her style.
There is no way to compare with the Gu Wanqiu in the past, but if the current Gu Wanqiu stood in front of this person, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find any trace of her existence. It might be the difference between a rose and green leaves, or even worse than green leaves, it's just soil. Just as He Tian said, if Gu Wanqiu was thrown on the street, no one would even look at her. Now her legs and hands are disabled, and she might even be mistaken for a beggar.
"Mr. Li, don't you recognize me?" The woman gently lifted the strands of hair from the corners of her eyes and gently brushed them behind her ears. It was a very natural movement, but paired with her face and soft voice, it was very pleasing to the eye.
Li Jinxing had a very good memory. There was only one name in his mind for the person who looked so similar to the past Gu Wanqiu - Jiang Yun.
She had first met this woman at a banquet a few years ago and had assumed she was someone with ulterior motives, but her attitude towards him was less than flattering.
Eventually she entered the entertainment industry, and the two of them only met that one time and never met again.
For Li Jinxing, it was a very ordinary encounter, the kind that didn't need to be remembered.
But this face had a great impact on him. Even after so much time had passed, he would still be stunned for a while when he saw it.
"I remember you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yun's mouth curled up even higher, and she looked at the chair next to her: "Mr. Li, can I sit here?"
Li Jinxing didn't say anything. Jiang Yun was a little unsure of Li Jinxing's attitude. She had wanted to establish a relationship with this man a few years ago, but unfortunately she never had the chance. He was very wary of her. She knew that Li Jinxing hated people with ulterior motives, and she happened to be one of them. She had no choice but to try to get close to him.
Li Jinxing had always been very cold towards her. When she knew she had no chance, she stopped in time to avoid being suspected by him and losing more than she gained.
Jiang Yun bent down tentatively and sat down slowly. After she was seated firmly, she didn't see any reaction from Li Jinxing, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jinxing pretended she didn't exist, so she sat opposite him and watched Li Jinxing continue drinking, one sip after another. The wine stained his lips, overflowed from the corners of his lips, and wet his neck.
Jiang Yun did not say anything to persuade him.
What does Li Jinxing look like when he's drunk? No one knows, after all, no one has ever seen him drunk.
But today Li Jinxing was drunk. It was the first time he got drunk outside and he felt a little dizzy. When he was drunk he was usually quiet and silent. He would not talk and would just find a quiet place to reminisce about the past.
But today, perhaps because he saw that familiar face, Li Jinxing suddenly became talkative, and every sentence he spoke was about Gu Wanqiu. Until he finished the last bottle, the bottle fell to the ground, and he fell down, unconscious.
When Li Jinxing woke up again, he was sleeping on a soft bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling of the hotel. After the hangover, his forehead felt like it had been punched and it hurt dully. His eyes were also sore. He didn't need to touch his face to know that his face was swollen.
"Mr. Li, you're finally awake." A woman's voice came from the side.
