Chapter 17: A Big Appetite.
Li Mushi escorted Jing Ge back to the Li family home and then left.
As the year draws to a close, various official matters pile up, making it impossible for him to maintain a regular daily routine.
Jingge even secretly suspected that he had already turned the people in his company into human skin cocoons.
Li Ying sniffed her like a dog, complaining, "Sister, you stole some Pizza Hut food!"
"......"
“I smell pizza, pasta, and beef tapas,” Li Ying exclaimed, “and chicken and mushroom soup!”
Jingge was speechless.
Dogs underestimate her.
Finally, Jingge gave her a Psyduck and promised to take her out to eat it next month after he got his salary, which finally appeased her.
Li Ying hadn't showered yet while waiting for her, so Jing Ge helped her check her homework and told her to shower first before coming over.
Although Li Ying is a restless sleeper, Jing Ge would rather be punched and kicked by Li Ying than have his head chopped off in his dream.
At least it has the feel of a living person.
After finishing correcting Li Ying's terrible mental arithmetic, there was a knock on the bedroom door from the outside.
Jing Ge teased, "You've even learned to be polite now. Just come in."
There was no movement for more than ten seconds.
Jingge paused, then walked towards the door in her slippers. Lately, she would be easily frightened by the slightest noise, afraid that scenes from horror movies would appear, so she would carefully observe the door when she opened it.
The person outside the door was not Li Ying.
It is a fierce battle.
He stood there, blocking the light from the corridor, looking down at me: "In your eyes, I've always been impolite, haven't I?"
"......"
My mood suddenly became heavy, like the overcast sky.
Li Zhan replied listlessly, "Weren't you going to stab me to death? Here I am, go ahead and stab me."
The emotional outburst he made on the phone during the day felt like a slap in the face to Jingge.
She was left looking disheveled and embarrassed.
If the Jing family hadn't gone bankrupt, she could naturally vent her anger on Li Zhan.
But the Jing family went bankrupt, and the Jing family was supported by the Li family.
They were all reminding her.
She's not a rich girl anymore.
I have no right to lose my temper with Li Zhan.
"Speak up," Li Zhan said impatiently, "Do you want to die with me?"
Jing Ge turned his face away and uttered three flat words: "I'm sorry."
"......"
Li Zhan's previously relaxed, spectator-like expression suddenly darkened.
His tone turned cold: "Are you free tomorrow?"
“No,” Jingge replied, “I need to go to the market with the manager to find the goods.”
Li Zhan: "The day after tomorrow?"
Jing Ge: "The Lunar New Year is coming soon, and I need to go with the manager to visit clients and deliver holiday gifts."
Li Zhan sneered: "The day after tomorrow?"
Jing Ge: "I'm going home."
Li Zhan stared at her, his gaze icy: "What do you mean, 'go home'?"
“Uncle Li and Aunt Man will be back the day after tomorrow,” Jing Ge said, “and then I can go home.”
"......"
Li Zhan could hear the relief in her tone.
She didn't want to stay in the Li family.
She liked everyone in the Li family, but the only reason she didn't want to stay was him.
Li Zhan laughed angrily: "You're spending the New Year here this year."
"..." Jing Ge stared in disbelief. "Why?"
Li Zhan was extremely malicious: "Because I want to. I'll call your dad later, and he'll agree."
Jingle's obvious breakdown.
She endured and longed for so long, just wanting to go home as soon as possible.
As a result, Li Zhan blocked her path with a single, casual remark.
Jing Ge looked at him with red eyes, each word spoken with force: "You stinking pig who's rolled in pig manure!"
After cursing, Jingge slammed the door shut.
It was as if they weren't closing a door, but rather slapping Li Zhan's face.
Li Zhan was dumbfounded.
Is he a stinking pig?
Li Ying, wearing her pajamas, almost rushed over, but when she saw her brother there, she quickly turned around, trying to hide back in her room before he noticed.
Li Zhan narrowed his eyes: "Stop."
Li Ying stopped with a gloomy face.
He took a few steps toward her, looking her up and down: "Sleeping with your older sister again?"
"Is it not allowed?" Li Ying stubbornly insisted, "My sister agreed!"
Li Zhan: "Didn't you see her dark circles?"
Li Ying: "That's not my fault, it's because she has nightmares every night!"
"...Nightmare? What kind of nightmare?"
"How should I know?" Li Ying said, annoyed with him. "Why don't you ask yourself? You keep saying you're someone's fiancé, but have you ever fulfilled any of your responsibilities as a fiancé?"
At this point, Li Ying took a few steps back in disgust: "You stink!"
Li Zhan paused, then raised his arm and brought it to his nose to smell.
It smells like perfume.
Jing Ge scolded him and stood him up from the party, so Li Zhan had a get-together with a few classmates by himself.
The foreign students share common habits.
Spray a lethal amount of perfume.
So much so that it was all over him.
No wonder Jing Ge called him a stinking pig earlier.
Understanding this, Li Zhan inexplicably smiled and said lazily, "Sleep quietly, your older sister is tired from work."
Li Ying thought she was seeing a ghost.
Li Zhan raised his chin, gesturing as he asked, "What is this thing?"
“Don’t you recognize Psyduck?” Li Ying clutched her hand tightly, afraid he would snatch it away. “My older sister gave it to me.”
Li Zhan: "Did you want it, or did she give it to you?"
Li Ying: "".
The little girl couldn't keep anything to herself; Li Zhan knew at a glance. He said impatiently, "Don't try to take what your older sister likes just because you're a child. She's still a child at heart..."
"Stop lecturing me!" Li Ying retorted. "You make it sound so noble, but when have you ever been the one who bullied her until she cried?"
Li Zhan: "If you talk back again..."
Li Ying snapped, "You just use your power and violence to suppress her. Treating her like a child is something an uncle would do, taking her to Pizza Hut!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the darkness of the corridor and the non-existent cold air surged like a tsunami, with towering waves that offered no respite.
Everything was completely submerged.
The tenderness that had once graced Li Zhan's eyes and brows had vanished completely.
"Pizza Hut?" His voice was very soft, like a ghost.
Li Ying didn't want to talk to him.
Li Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Tonight?"
Li Ying: "Otherwise what?"
Li Zhan: "She came back with her uncle?"
“How could that be?” Li Ying said, “Uncle is so busy, of course he would just send my sister back and then leave.”
Li Zhan: "Your older sister is very happy?"
Li Ying: "Of course, at least it's not like being with you, so lifeless."
At this point, Li Ying looked up at her brother in the dim light and sincerely reminded him, "Brother, you'd better treat Sister well. What if she doesn't want you anymore and falls in love with Uncle instead? You'll be in big trouble then. You'll be Sister's nephew, and I'll have to call Sister 'Auntie' too..."
Before Li Ying could finish speaking, she, no longer adept at reading between the lines, noticed the increasingly sinister look in Li Zhan's eyes.
Li Ying couldn't help but step back, then suddenly turned around, rushed into her room, and locked the door from the inside.
That's terrifying.
She had no idea what she had said wrong, and felt like her brother was going to chop her up.
Li Zhan's neck veins twisted and throbbed.
so.
Did he stand him up just so he could have dinner with Li Mushi?
This person looks down on him and instead has their eye on someone from his family who holds a high position of power and whom no one dares to offend.
Big appetite, wild ambition.
