Chapter 714 A Day in the Life of a Mary Sue Heroine 2
"Jiang Chen, what should I do? How can I go out like this?"
Ye Rou took two steps on the ground, and a golden lotus blossomed without soil. Red petals floated inexplicably in the air, and the fragrance spread to the west.
Jiang Chen hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were dark blue. He sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his temples with his slender fingers.
After being flashed by the light bulb all night, the veins on my forehead are still throbbing.
"I'll call Ji Chunming and ask for leave for you."
Ye Rou nodded helplessly, this was the only thing she could do.
"Hopefully, there won't be any accidents today."
——
Jiang Chen was about to return to the inner courtyard with breakfast to give to his wife when he was stopped by Zheng Zhiyuan.
"Stinky boy, where's Xiaorou?"
Li Ping stood behind, looking at Jiang Chen silently.
He didn't see Jiang Chen the last time he visited.
——Ye Rou used the transformation card to turn Jiang Chen into a giant black python.
This was the first time Li Ping looked at this man seriously.
He had handsome features, but the dark circles under his eyes made him look haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night. The corners of his eyes were frivolous, and he had a sinister and cold look to them.
He seems to be very thoughtful and dangerous. Can he be nice to Xiaorou?
Li Ping expressed doubts about this.
Jiang Chen asked cautiously, "What are you looking for my wife for?"
Zheng Zhiyuan glared at him: "You little bastard, when did I need your permission to see Xiaorou?"
Jiang Chen was doing this for Zheng Zhiyuan's own good. If he really saw the colorful Ye Rou, he would probably scare the old man to death.
"My wife has already gone to class."
"In class?" Zheng Zhiyuan stared at the plate in his hand: "Who are you serving this to?"
Jiang Chen said calmly, "Is it not okay for me to have two servings?"
"You little bastard." Zheng Zhiyuan glared at him: "Is Xiaorou sick? No, I'll go see her."
Jiang Chen knew that this old man looked quiet and far-sighted, but in fact he was just a stubborn donkey. No one could stop him from doing what he set his mind to.
Seeing Zheng Zhiyuan heading towards the inner courtyard, Li Ping also frowned and followed him.
Jiang Chen's face darkened, and he suddenly asked, "Old Zheng, Li Rui, do you still remember?"
Zheng Zhiyuan and Li Ping stopped in their tracks.
The two men turned around at the same time, and the similar facial features of father and son were filled with the same solemnity.
Zheng Zhiyuan led his men in asking, "How do you know about Li Rui? Is he back?"
Jiang Chen called the mute woman and asked her to take breakfast to his wife, then led the father and son to Zheng Zhiyuan's study.
——
"Jiang boy, have you met Li Rui? Li Guang is back too, right?"
When Zheng Zhiyuan mentioned this name, his eyes turned red and hatred surged.
Jiang Chen didn't keep anyone in suspense and briefly explained the whole story.
Li Ping frowned after hearing this and summed up the key point: "So it was Li Rui who reported my father?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
Zheng Zhiyuan's hair was shaking with anger.
He never expected that his good intentions to help would lead to saving such a beast.
The old beast killed his wife, sold his daughter, and separated his family. He thought the innocent little beast was the culprit behind all this.
Seeing that his father was very emotional, Li Ping quickly patted his back.
Jiang Chen stood up as usual, walked to the desk, opened the bottom drawer, took out a small box, took out the pills inside, stuffed them into Old Man Zheng's hand, and brought him some water for him to take.
Li Ping saw that his father looked much better after taking the medicine. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "My father, this is..."
Jiang Chen sat back and said calmly, "Liver Qi is stagnant. This is the Qi-soothing Pill Xiaorou made for him. Take one when you're angry. It's very helpful."
Li Ping couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. As a son, he couldn't stay by his father's side to take care of him, which was really unfilial.
Jiang Chen knocked on the table and asked, "After Old Man Zheng was sent to the bullpen, you lived with the Li family for a while. What kind of person is Li Rui in your impression?"
Li Ping blurted out: "Cowardly..."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This is completely different from his impression of Li Rui.
Li Ping explained, "Li Rui is the child of Li Guang's ex-wife. He grew up in the countryside and was later taken back by Li Guang. He's timid, speaks in a low voice, has a low presence, and is taciturn. Even though we live under the same roof, I rarely see him. On the contrary..."
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and listened to Li Ping say, "He seems to be in need of love. My mother treats him well. He often comes to my mother's place. Sometimes when I get home from school, I see him circling around my mother. I even saw him resting his head on my mother's lap once. He seems to... treat my mother as his own mother. Sometimes I even catch him secretly glaring at me."
Li Rui lacks love...
Jiang Chen thought about his previous life in the mental hospital, where he also heard some young nurses discussing Li Rui's love history, saying that his girlfriend was older than him.
But Jiang Chen didn't expect that Li Rui was the child of Li Guang's ex-wife.
He thought of something, and suddenly frowned. He asked calmly, "Where is Li Guang's ex-wife?"
Li Ping was stunned by the question and shook his head.
He was too young at the time to remember many of the details. His family had suddenly undergone a drastic change. His mother and sister cried all day long. Strangers moved into their house, and the three of them were forced to live in the smallest and most dilapidated courtyard...
Everything happened so fast that it took Liping a long time to adapt, so he had no energy to pay attention to other things.
Zheng Zhiyuan took the medicine and recovered. He said, "I know about this. Li Guang's ex-wife died of a cold. Before she died, she asked someone to send Li Rui to the capital."
"Dead?" Jiang Chen frowned.
That's not right.
He remembered that in his previous life, Li Rui's mother was not dead, and she even often came to the hospital to bring Li Rui meals. She had white hair and looked like an extremely elegant lady from behind.
Jiang Chen then asked, "How is the relationship between Li Rui and Li Guang's second wife?"
Li Ping was quite aware of this. He shook his head and said, "It's not good. I often heard Li Guang's second wife scolding him. She scolded him terribly and even falsely accused Li Rui of stealing money. Li Guang was so angry that he hung her under the eaves and beat her. It was my mother who intervened and saved his life."
That's strange.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and his tapping fingers suddenly stopped.
