"Brother, this isn't a solution."
Despite the garlic smell, Li Laoliu still took a deep drag and said, "We've been sitting here for half a month. Everyone on the street knows us. We know exactly what we're doing, but those who don't know us probably think something's wrong with us."
Li Laoliu looked miserable. It was hard to tell whether it was because the matter was too torturous or because the garlic smell in his mouth was too strong, but he didn't look well at all.
It doesn't matter if he's considered a bad person; he wasn't a good person to begin with.
But if he were suspected of having any relationship with his brother, he would not admit it in front of Deng Dua Lang.
Li Laoliu could still distinguish between personal reputation and personal honor.
Li Laoba thought this made sense, and casually took the cigarette that was between Li Laoliu's lips.
I have to say, cigarettes with a garlic flavor and a story behind them are really enjoyable to smoke.
The scene before my eyes started to make me dizzy.
"Brother, if it really doesn't work out, let's go back. We can treat ourselves to a treat when we get back."
"I already rewarded you this morning."
Li Laoliu's suggestion did not prompt Li Laoba to return the cigarette. Instead, he smoked it all in one gulp, then casually tossed it at someone's feet.
Li Laoliu looked at Li Laoba with a wronged expression, his eyes filled with resentment.
He picked up the cigarette, but he only got to smoke a couple of puffs before Li Laoba finished it.
That's fine.
He rewarded himself without even telling him. What happened to being brothers?
I didn't expect them to still be so distant.
Each lost in their own thoughts, a moment passed in silence.
But at that moment...
A footstep sounded and then stopped in front of the two.
The two brothers paused for a moment, then looked up at the figure blocking their way.
There is something I don't understand.
Li Laoliu suddenly blurted out, "Damn it, what do you want?"
[...]
On the other side.
The day's journey is coming to an end.
Luo Chen and Ye Xiaoli sat on a park bench.
The bench wasn't high, but Ye Xiaoli liked to swing her legs like a child, which seemed a bit childish.
But it's still cute.
Ye Xiaoli's smile lingered, as if something happy was still on her mind.
Is it that funny?
Luo Chen glanced at him with annoyance.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing Luo Chen's helpless expression, Ye Xiaoli laughed even harder, almost losing her composure though she didn't lean forward or backward.
"I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it, but what happened earlier was just too funny."
Ye Xiaoli tried to restrain herself, but it was difficult; she couldn't help herself whenever she thought of the scene from before.
She also sensed that the boss harbored a great deal of resentment towards Luo Chen, suggesting they had likely had contact before.
Otherwise, why would the boss have such a dark expression and seem so reluctant when receiving the prize?
It's unclear what happened between them.
That's not the funny part.
It was only when the boss pulled out the mysterious grand prize that Luo Chen's face froze instantly, which made Ye Xiaoli find it funny.
No one could have imagined that the mystery grand prize would be gift certificates.
Or various sports car vouchers.
Just imagine the astonishing scene of the young master of the prestigious Luo family going to buy a sports car and pulling out a five-yuan discount coupon from the staff.
It has to be said.
Once I have this thought, I can't help but want to see it immediately.
Of course, the most important thing is that red scroll.
"..."
Luo Chen was speechless and helpless.
He didn't understand why the boss harbored such a deep resentment towards him.
It's just that it was cleared twice, is that really necessary?
Moreover, in retaliation, they even changed the mystery grand prize.
I originally thought it would be a food voucher like last time, at least enough to give Ye Xiaoli some peace and quiet, and let her find a place to eat and rest.
After all, even though he was a grandmaster, he still couldn't maintain his physical and mental strength consistently.
In the end, he was still just an ordinary person, an unremarkable, approachable, and wealthy person.
I just didn't expect that the boss was so unethical, and that he would actually be replaced.
I got a bunch of useless five-yuan discount coupons for Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, and so on.
That's not all.
There was even a clause in the middle that reduced the bride price from 300,000 to 1,000.
When the ticket was taken out, the whole room fell silent.
Luo Chen, who was already attracting over 200% of attention, suddenly saw his popularity increase significantly.
Add to that Ye Xiaoli's undisguised laughter.
Luo Chen felt offended.
To express my gratitude to the boss for his kindness.
Luo Chen, being kind and compassionate, made a phone call.
"Seriously, Luo Chen, you're too mean."
Ye Xiaoli finally stopped laughing, somewhat speechless: "Although I don't know what personal grudge you have with that boss, if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't be in a good mood if I saw someone causing trouble."
"Although that boss didn't act ethically either, blatantly switching the mystery prize and using it to humiliate you, there was no need to destroy his business."
The call Luo Chen made wasn't to summon underground forces to cause trouble, but rather to the relevant authorities. That boss was incredibly stubborn; he dared to open a shop there without a business license.
The fact that he had a criminal record and had spent time in a mental hospital made the matter more complicated.
However, that owner's shop will not be able to open.
Ye Xiaoli thought to herself, if that boss didn't have Luo Luochen's influence, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
But it's already happened, and it's too late to change it.
Besides, Luo Chen is a person of standing, and if he were to be fooled like this, it would have a bad influence if his acquaintances found out.
[...]
Let's not discuss this topic anymore.
Ye Xiaoli looked toward the lawn in the distance.
There, many children were chasing and playing with happy smiles.
The carefree days of childhood are filled with enviable memories and fun stories.
Moreover, childhood playmates are innocent and pure; there is no mutual suspicion or grudges.
Ye Xiaoli stared blankly, lost in thought and reminiscing.
She seemed to have never experienced such joy before.
Since she was old enough to understand, she has always been surrounded by busy adults, all dedicated to making the family bigger and stronger and striving to be number one.
The playmates around you also have ulterior motives.
We were all the same age, living in an innocent era.
At this innocent age, everything one encounters is illusory and false.
The parents disappeared long ago, their fate unknown, and the place they used to be in vanished overnight.
Although it didn't leave much of an emotional mark, it still holds a place in my memory, a place for past recollections.
However, if Ye Tianming hadn't valued her and taken her in as his goddaughter, it's impossible to know what her life would be like now.
Perhaps it's just ordinary life.
Perhaps the missing parents will reappear, and they will have a happy and fulfilling family life.
But without exception.
She could never have the childhood that belonged to her.
Because, how can the past ever come back to life?
