Chapter 41 The family is about to be together
"…"
It was raining heavily outside, and the living room was silent.
Li Xu himself seemed to be unable to feel the awkward atmosphere he created. He sat quietly for a while, and when no one spoke, he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you talk?"
He has been busy with a lot of work at the company recently, and he has no time to go to the mountains to see Xie Yan, who is teaching in the mountains. But in the afternoon, he suddenly received a notice from the bodyguard at home, saying that his third brother brought his marriage partner home and wanted to get a marriage certificate.
Thinking of Jing Yi's previous complaints, Li Xu had a feeling that something big was going to happen, and he pushed back a lot of work before rushing back.
But after he sat down, no one spoke. Li Ting still didn't quite understand the situation: "Have you finished talking?"
Li Ting gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, can you stop making trouble?"
He finally got married. It was fine if no one blessed him, but why did everyone in the family start to oppose it? Even his second brother, who usually didn't care about gossip, came back in the heavy rain to eat melons.
What was he trying to do? He even got himself wet on the way.
Li Ting felt like a plucked bird, with the whole family watching and no privacy.
Fortunately, Yuan Tingxuan was with him, which was a little comfort.
Li Xu sat calmly and said, "I heard you were getting married, so I came back specially. How come it became a mess?" Li Xu
paused, "..."
Don't think I didn't see your expression of eating melons. My Xuan Xuan will never let me down!
Li Xu waited for a while, but still didn't hear the sound of the small speaker. He turned his head and looked at the corner, "Butler Jing."
Jing Yi was interrupted and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say just now. He couldn't think of it for a long time and raised his eyes in confusion, "Huh?"
Li Xu said generously, "You are also a member of our family. Come and sit down."
Jing Yi hesitated, "Second Young Master, this is not good."
This is a family meeting.
"What's wrong with it." Li Xu raised his chin, "Sit down."
Sit closer so that he can hear more clearly.
Li Ting, who heard the voice-over, said, "..."
Li Wenzhao said nothing, and his tacit agreement was very subtle. Li Mingzhi was even less likely to object, and patted the empty seat beside him, "Butler Jing, come and sit here, next to me."
The sofa was long and wide, but after being occupied by several adult men, the space was limited, and the seat vacated by Li Mingzhi was next to Li Wenzhao.
Upon hearing this, the latter raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at Jing Yi with his handsome and neat features. His eyes were very deep under his thick eyebrows, his forehead hair fell on his brow bones, and his eyes were full of heat.
Jing Yi shrank back when he was looked at by him, "Still, I still can't."
There he was again, looking at Xiao Bingcake with that look.
"Hey, housekeeper Jing, please sit down." Li Mingzhi stood up and pushed Jing Yi to sit on the sofa: "My eldest brother has agreed. If he nodded, no one dared to object, right, eldest brother?"
Li Wenzhao's eyes fell to the side: "Let's talk about business first."
This sentence calmed Jing Yi down and he sat still.
After Jing Yi sat down, Li Xu waited for a while.
[……]
Li Xu: "……"
[……]
Li Xu: "……"
Why haven't you started yet?
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Xu straightened his back and began to speak, "Third brother, you speak first."
Li Pao: "……?"
He had already said everything, what else did he need to say?
Li Xu fulfilled his duty and acted as the host: "Who is this girl?"
"..." Li Xu paused and said, "Second brother, this is my wife. She just returned to China and we are getting married now."
Li Xu glanced at Jing Yi.
Jing Yi: "???"
[Second Young Master, why are you looking at me? Did you not wipe off the potato chip crumbs just now? 】
Lie Xu: "..."
Seeing Jing Yi didn't respond, Li Xu turned his head, "Why get married?"
Li Ting: "Because of love."
【……】
Lie Xu continued: "Real love?"
Li Ting: "Of course!"
【……】
Lie Xu was so anxious that he spoke out his feelings: "Do you have any gossip to eat?"
"..."
Li Ting's face was red: "Second brother, if you don't know how to ask, don't ask."
"..." Li Xu shut up.
He didn't want to be the host either. Isn't it that Butler Jing said nothing?
Jing Yi was a little distracted at this moment. He was a little too close to Li Wenzhao. With his legs against his legs, he could feel the tense muscles and warm body temperature. He was originally a person who was good at wandering off, and now his attention was even more focused on Li Wenzhao.
It was not until Yuan Tingxuan made an uneasy sound: "A Ting, your family... don't like me?"
that Jing Yi turned his head to look over.
Li Xu caught his movements, slowly straightened his back, and raised his ears.
"Don't think too much, baby. My brothers don't mean that." Li Ting touched Yuan Tingxuan's head and said softly, "You are the first girl I brought home. My brothers are afraid that I will be impulsive. This is to test our feelings. Don't be afraid."
The girl leaned into Li Ting's arms and said, "Ah Ting, the child and I depend on you. You won't abandon us, right?"
"Of course not!" Li Ting said decisively, "I have stolen the household registration book. I must give you and the child a home."
[The Third Young Master is so responsible that he dares to bring any child home...]
It started.
Li Xu and Li Mingzhi pursed their lips excitedly and looked at each other secretly. They saw the gossip that could not be ignored in each other's eyes.
Li Wenzhao shifted his eyes nonchalantly, and Jingyi tilted his head to look at Lie Ting and Yuan Tingxuan. Her profile was soft, her earlobes were small, and her soft cheeks bulged into a soft bag that looked like it looked easy to pinch.
Li Ting , who was at the center of the gossip, had a gloomy face.
Jing Yi began to talk as if no one was around -
[As far as I know, Yuan Tingxuan has been abroad for three years and has had boyfriends all the time. Not to mention the twelve zodiac signs, she has collected two sets of identity cards for the twenty-four zodiac signs]
[If she hadn't gotten into trouble abroad, owed a large amount of debt, and was hunted down by her enemies, Yuan Tingxuan would not have chosen to hide back in the country]
[I guess the moment she set foot on the land of her motherland penniless, she must have been more worried than homesick. Maybe she was also worried about how she would live in the future, but she didn't expect that the third young master would come to her door himself] Li Ting's
face became worse and worse as he listened.
He warned himself that this was not true and that what Butler Jing said had no evidence, but the balance in his heart tilted involuntarily.
Jing Yi's voice was never wrong.
His fingers slowly tightened, and Yuan Tingxuan immediately cried out in pain: "Hiss... Ah Ting, you pinched me."
Li Ting immediately let go, but his eyes began to fade, and he walked farther and farther in the direction pointed by Jing Yi.
[After three years abroad, Yuan Tingxuan used the money funded by the Third Young Master to live a life of luxury and support a little milk dog. In the end, she was swindled by a foreign emotional swindler and had to return to China to get nothing. ]
[Oh yes, there is also a child, who was conceived abroad. The father of the child is a blond and blue-eyed drug addict. Yuan Tingxuan was afraid that her belly was too big to hide, so she hurried back to China to register the child! She wanted to find a rich and cheap father for the child. ]
Li Ting: "..."
Li Xu and Li Mingzhi cast an interested glance at him - Third Brother/Third Brother, you are a little silly.
Li Ting: "..."
At this moment, Yuan Tingxuan's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen, a hint of discomfort and hidden surprise flashed across her face, "A Ting, I have something to do today. Can the wedding be postponed to another day?"
Li Ting's expression was not very good anymore: "What do you want?"
Yuan Tingxuan said: "My good sister is back from abroad and asked me to have afternoon tea. It's getting late. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."
[Ha ha ha]
[Look at this leaky excuse. What do you mean by sister is back to the country and the marriage is postponed? It's obviously a few mistresses from abroad who came and asked to meet at the hotel]
[Poor Third Young Master, he has been kept in the dark all his life, and he is so embarrassed to be cuckolded! The noble and elegant Bai Yueguang in his heart was actually a playboy who was cheating on many women. She even used his credit card to check into a room with someone. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk...】
The Third Young Master's face turned green.
However, this was just the beginning of a tragic life. Jing Yi continued to recall——
【After marriage, Yuan Tingxuan conspired with her lover to completely possess the Third Young Master's property and drove a car to break the Third Young Master's legs.】
【The Third Young Master, who had lost his ability to move, completely lost confidence and lived in a daze every day, until one day, he ran into his wife bringing her lover home and fooling around in their bedroom. 】
【The third young master got up and vomited blood on the spot. When it was late at night, he turned on the gas and died with Yuan Tingxuan...】
That was the plot at the end of the novel.
The main perspective was on Shen Shubai. There was not much description of the situation after the fall of the Li family. It only appeared as a side story in the life of the protagonist Shen Shubai.
After Yuan Tingxuan's affair was exposed, Li Ting turned on the gas, but he woke up at the last moment and didn't want to die with Yuan Tingxuan. He pushed the wheelchair and left home, watching Yuan Tingxuan and her lover spiral up together.
He was imprisoned and sentenced for intentional homicide, and died two months later in a prisoner riot secretly directed by Shen Shubai.
Li Ting's death also announced the complete demise of the Li family.
Li Wenzhao lost three younger brothers in succession, and he was almost insane. He was attacked by criminals who were lying in ambush around him and divided up everything.
In order to achieve the goal of eradicating the roots, Shen Shubai brought three boxes of ashes and met with Li Wenzhao on the cliff. At that time, Li Wenzhao was already disheartened. He was wasted and skinny, with a black mouth and a black face, and ragged clothes. He couldn't be different from a group of beggars. The
urns of his brothers gave him the final blow. His mind was shattered, and he jumped off the cliff holding the boxes. The villain's family died from then on.
Jing Yi sighed softly.
When I read the novel, I only saw Shen Shubai's upgrade and the sense of pleasure. When I changed my perspective, I felt that the stepmother author was too cruel.
Jing Yi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, determined to help the Li family break free from the constraints of the author.
He turned his head, moved his butt, and took the initiative to approach Li Wenzhao, poking his leg lightly with his fingers: [Young Master, you must stop the Third Young Master, he will die if he marries Yuan Tingxuan. ]
Li Wenzhao glanced sideways lightly, and the bodyguard beside him stepped forward with understanding and took back the household registration book from Li Ting.
Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief: [That’s great, fortunately a household registration book is required for marriage, otherwise the Third Young Master would not be able to be stopped. ]
Li Xu, who was addicted to eating melons, suddenly turned his head to look at his eldest brother: Have you talked about it?
Li Mingzhi showed a knowing smile.
Li Xu moved his eyebrows: You know?
Li Mingzhi's smile widened: *^O^*Yeah! I've eaten this melon a long time ago.
Li Xu pursed his lips, holding a bag of expired melons, and frowned in dissatisfaction.
When did his elder brother and housekeeper Jing reveal the truth, how come he didn't know? It's
really unpleasant to eat expired melon.
There was another long silence. Yuan Tingxuan felt that she was ignored by the Li family. Even Li Ting didn't respond, which made her excuse of going to pick up her best friend seem like a big joke.
Yuan Tingxuan's face turned worse, and she subconsciously sought Li Ting's help, just like usual, "A Ting, my stomach hurts a little..."
However, as soon as she leaned over, Li Ting avoided her with a pale face.
Yuan Tingxuan: "...... Ah Ting?"
Jing Yi: "???"
[Why did the Third Young Master... avoid him? ]
He turned his head subconsciously and shared his thoughts: [Master, the Third Young Master seems to have come to his senses. My mind carrots really work. The senior love brain has been awakened.]
Li Ting: "......"
Yuan Tingxuan's eyes were full of disbelief. Li Ting tilted his face and suppressed the shock in his heart: "Xuan...Xuan, if you have something to do, go and do it first. There is no rush for our business."
Yuan Tingxuan frowned immediately. A woman's sixth sense is often unreasonable. A little insignificant change is enough to arouse vigilance. She put down her phone and took Li Ting's arm affectionately: "Ah Ting, I think you are more important. I can't get together with friends one day. I'd better get the marriage certificate with you first. Romantic love is supreme."
[Carrot retort! Don't believe it, San Shao. Love scammers are best at this kind of rhetoric. If you ask, it's pure love, and if you talk, it's a disaster! ]
Li Ting was caught in two extreme words and felt that his head was about to explode.
Seeing that the situation had developed to the end, Li Wenzhao spoke calmly and ended this farce.
"Miss Yuan."
Yuan Tingxuan immediately bent her standard eight-tooth smile: "Brother."
"You go back first." Li Wenzhao said: "Marriage is not a trivial matter. Our Li family still needs to prepare."
Yuan Tingxuan glanced at Li Ting who was silent: "Brother, A Ting and I are sincere. I don't care about the form. As long as I can have a home for my child and I, it's fine."
"You don't care about the form, but our Li family does." Li Wenzhao said: "The third brother's wedding cannot be sloppy. Miss Yuan should go back first."
Hearing about the wedding, Yuan Tingxuan smiled and stroked her belly with her hand: "Thank you, brother, A Ting and I will definitely be happy."
"Uncle Lin." Li Wenzhao turned his head and said: "Send Miss Yuan home."
"Yes, young master."
Yuan Tingxuan left happily, and Li Ting slumped on the sofa, even his hair hanging down.
Seeing this, Li Xu patted Li Ting's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, Third Brother. I can tell you from my experience as a person who has been through it that the darkness will always pass."
Li Mingzhi also nodded, "Third Brother, I have also been through it, but I have come through it now."
Li Ting: "..."
Not comforted at all.
Li Xu frowned and paused, then turned to look at Li Wenzhao: "Big Brother, when are you coming over? The family must be together."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Not long after Yuan Tingxuan was sent away, Li Ting also took the car keys and left. No one stopped him, but when he left, he took five bodyguards with him.
As soon as the protagonist left, the living room was no longer interesting. Li Xu changed his clothes and went back to the company. Li Mingzhi was also called away by the agent.
Only Li Wenzhao and Jingyi were left at home.
Ever since Li Wenzhao broke up the relationship, Jingyi rarely got along with Li Wenzhao. He had never experienced such a situation and felt embarrassed.
"I haven't experienced it either." Li Wenzhao suddenly spoke, holding a financial newspaper in his hand.
Jingyi suddenly covered his chest and complained: "Why are you listening to me again?"
Li Wenzhao replied: "This is a passive skill of mine, and it is not controllable."
"Not fair." Jingyi whispered.
Li Wenzhao could clearly hear what he was saying in his heart, but he didn't know what Li Wenzhao was thinking.
Li Wenzhao put down the newspaper and looked over: "What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."
Jing Yi pursed his lips, scratched his head, and was restless: "Why... why?"
[Why do you suddenly like boys? ]
[There was no sign at all. ]
Li Wenzhao's eyebrows softened for a moment, and he said softly: "This doesn't require any signs. Liking a person usually only lasts for a moment. You made my heart beat at that moment, and I liked you naturally. This has nothing to do with sexual orientation."
Jing Yi: "..."
He pursed his lips in panic.
The next second Li Wenzhao added: "And you are very well-behaved, have a lovely personality, have a sense of humor, and a sense of justice. You are lively every day, so it is normal to like you. Do you understand?"
Jing Yi blushed a little at his description.
The college student who was just beginning to fall in love was flustered. He couldn't resist the direct ball from Li Wenzhao and searched for a rebuttal in his mind: "But I don't know..."
"You don't have to rush to answer me." Li Wenzhao was already very good at reading minds and knew what he was thinking. "I promised not to force you. Tell me when you are completely calm."
Hearing this, Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Li Wenzhao started to speak directly, he hadn't figured out how to face reality, let alone sort out his mind from the messy thoughts.
He had never been in love and was still very serious about feelings. Before he figured it out, he just wanted to find a place to hide.
But now after talking to Li Wenzhao, he didn't seem so scared anymore.
Thinking of this, Jing Yi suddenly turned his head alertly: "Young Master, did you hear what I said again?"
Li Wenzhao calmly picked up the newspaper.
"..." Fuck, fuck
.
At night, Jing Yi returned to his room, his heart knot temporarily untied, he happily took out his mobile phone to watch TV series.
The last perverted murder case is about to be concluded, and the identity of the real murderer will be revealed tonight. He lay down happily and opened the video software.
Just as the real murderer showed his face, the camera slowly moved in, the BGM drum beats were noisy...
Whoosh -
the light bulb sighed, and the room fell into darkness.
[Your current network is unavailable, please switch to mobile network]
Jing Yi: "..."
How could he forget that Li Wenzhao set a curfew for him.
Jing Yi threw his phone away angrily and rolled around with the quilt in his arms.
What is this?
I have already confessed my love, so why is there still a curfew?
Let me expose him! The next
day
, Jing Yi was awakened by the sound of the alarm clock. He washed up in his sleep and went out with a sleepy face.
[The poor office worker has to go out and work hard again...]
He buried his head and wanted to get into the passenger seat, but someone next to him gently pulled him up: "If you don't stay up late at night, you won't work hard during the day. Sit in the back."
Jing Yi floated over with a dazed look on his face: "You don't understand. Staying up late feels like fighting against King Yan. It's very exciting." Li
Wenzhao asked curiously: "How do you stay up late when the power and internet are cut off?"
Jing Yi: "I borrowed a power bank from the young master, and then opened a data package."
[There are always more solutions than problems]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
The housekeeper has a messy schedule, a dull mind, is lazy every day, but is a master at taking shortcuts.
When he
arrived at the company, Jing Yi barely woke up.
His main job at Li's was to clean up criminals. Since he started making extra money, he had almost memorized the original book over and over again.
After reviewing all the personnel information, Jing Yi was so tired that he fell down. His eyes were sore after staying up all night, so he lay on the table and squinted his eyes to empty himself.
Li Wenzhao saw Jingyi standing so stiffly when he came back. He took off his coat and put it on the chair, lowered his eyes and said, "Are you asleep?"
Jingyi was too lazy to open his mouth, and answered lazily in his inner voice: [I'm resting]
Li Wenzhao looked at his closed eyelashes: "So do you want to continue resting or go downstairs to eat?"
Jingyi was like a system with the power button pressed, restarting at a rapid speed: "Eat!"
[Only when you are full can you have the energy to sleep]
He responded with a familiar sneer.
When he passed by the secretary's office on his way downstairs, Jingyi caught a glimpse of Fan Ming sighing inside. Jingyi
went over: "Secretary Fan, what's wrong with you?" Fan Ming
didn't even raise his head: "Butler Jing, I'm heartbroken."
?
Jing Yi lay on the table and asked him: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Not now." Fan Ming sighed: "Butler Jing, let me ask you, if my girlfriend and mother fell into the river together, who should I save?"
Jing Yi subconsciously glanced at Li Wenzhao.
Fan Ming sneered: "You can't answer, me too..."
"Emmm... If your mother and girlfriend fell into the river together." Jing Yi thought: "I might stay away from you, a loser."
"..." Fan Ming's eyes widened suddenly: "You are not the housekeeper Jing, you are Secretary Zou! The answer is exactly the same!"
Jing Yi tilted his head: "What does this have to do with Secretary Zou?"
Fan Ming lay on the table and said in frustration: "After a quarrel last night, Secretary Zou asked me out for a drink, and then insisted on coaching me to take the civil service exam at the table... Then, I don't know what evil path he coached me to."
Fan Ming's expression was about to cry: "I drank with Secretary Zou all night, and when I came back, I persuaded my girlfriend to get back together with her ex-boyfriend..."
"..."
Jing Yi: Explosion.
The most explosive person today is you, Secretary Fan.
