Chapter 20 Let’s Find a Solution Together
Li Guixun's father, named Li De, was once an ordinary medical representative. While shopping, he met the beautiful Yi woman named Mulin.
Her father owns a pharmaceutical company and is one of the richest men in the area. However, she is more biased towards boys than girls. Her son holds an important position in the company, but her daughter is only allowed to be a clerk. Although the work is easy, she does not want other colleagues to laugh at her behind her back for being a princess with a maid's fate.
Therefore, Mu Lin often confided her secrets to Li De, and after a while, they developed feelings for each other.
The two of them got their marriage certificate secretly.
Just when Mu Lin was struggling with how to make her family accept her relationship, her family's company was taken over.
The instigator was her newlywed husband, Li De.
Mu Lin was regarded as a traitor by the entire family and was expelled from the family tree. She was heartbroken, but found out she was pregnant.
The child born was Li Guixun.
Eight years later, another daughter was born. The child was sent to the neonatal department as soon as he was born.
"They said my sister had cerebral palsy and might never be able to stand up. I didn't believe it. My sister was prettier than all the other children in the hospital since she was born. How could she be unhealthy? But that's the fact..."
Li Guixun's voice was deliberately trembling, but it was amplified by the darkness and easily floated into Huo Xiang's ears.
His heart began to ache as well.
"Later, Mulin passed away. I heard that she had a sudden heart attack. Ten years later, Li De remarried." Li Guixun lightly skipped over the matter of his parents and returned to the topic of his sister.
“Weiwei is almost the same as a normal person in other aspects. She looks as cute as a mixed-race princess, and her brain and language are hardly affected.
Only the legs.
She couldn’t stand up at the age of two, and she kept doing rehabilitation. At the age of five, she finally took her first steps towards me. ”
Huo Xiang listened silently, as if he saw Li Guixun crying uncontrollably because of excitement.
Although she could stand up, Li Weiwei's legs were still very weak, and most of the time, she liked to crawl on the ground.
It was not until she was ten years old that she was able to move forward very slowly.
Because his father remarried, Li Guixun moved out with his sister. I would only bring my sister back to the Li family during the holidays.
It was the day before the Dragon Boat Festival when Li Guixun was 22 years old and Li Weiwei was 14 years old.
It was also the last day of the college basketball league. Li Guixun was a key player on the school team, so he naturally could not be absent.
Li Weiwei was bored at home and didn't want to make Li Guixun worry, so she asked her brother to send her back to the Li family. Anyway, I have to go there tomorrow for the Dragon Boat Festival, so it’s okay to stay for one night.
Li De's new wife was very polite to the brother and sister, at least on the surface. Although Li Guixun didn't want her sister to have much contact with her, she was not too worried when she thought that Li De was there too.
He just told the nanny who was following Li Weiwei to stay with her closely.
Then I went back to school.
But when he suddenly felt uneasy and asked someone to take his place and went back to the Li family early, what he saw was a scene that he would never forget.
Li Weiwei was pinned to the ground by a man, her wheelchair tilted to one side, and her clothes were half stripped off.
And that person was Li De’s brother-in-law!
Seeing his sister's face full of tears and her miserable and frightened look, all the blood in Li Guixun's body rushed to his head.
He kicked the man over, took off his shirt and covered his sister with it.
Then he turned around and started fighting with the other person.
Li Guixun was tall and strong, and he was in the upper hand at the time. The man was no match for him and was soon beaten and fled away in panic.
Seeing Li Guixun picking up a heavy mahogany stool from the side, the man kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Li Guixun remained unmoved and broke his leg with a stool.
The man almost fainted from the pain. He was so desperate to survive that he said something, but Li Guixun became even more crazy. Several stools hit the man on the head and he died instantly.
Although Huo Xiang had already learned about the general circumstances of Li Guixun's murder from the judicial documents on the Internet, he still felt extremely frightened and angry when he heard Li Guixun's description.
He really wanted to ask, where was Li Weiwei's nanny, where was her father, where was her stepmother, and where was the servant when the incident happened?
Why leave her, who is underage and has limited mobility, with the devil?
But he couldn't ask now, because Li Guixun's condition was really not good.
He rested his head on his clasped hands and said nothing. The whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and no longer looked his usual smiling self.
"Mr. Li, are you... okay?"
Li Guixun rubbed his face with his hands and raised his head again.
"I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered Weiwei's terrified voice just before I used all my strength to smash the stool down."
He went on to say: "I called the police myself and told Uncle Hat that I had killed someone and would turn myself in after I had settled my sister.
I entrusted Weiwei to my best friend and asked him to find Mrs. Zhou. Sister Juan was recommended to me by Uncle Hat. ”
Li Guixun said: "I stayed in there for five years. After I got out, I worked hard to expand my business. I thought I had arranged everything for Weiwei and gave her everything I could, but she still couldn't be happy..."
Huo Xiang couldn't help himself and reached out to pat Li Guixun on the shoulder: "You've done a great job. No one else would be as careful and thoughtful as you. If there is a problem, we can find a solution together. It's not too late now, right?"
There is no true empathy in the world. Huo Xiang knew that his comfort was pale and powerless, but he really didn't want to see Li Guixun's lifeless appearance.
He should be proud, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, even arrogant and looking down on everything.
Anything is fine, but it shouldn't be lifeless.
Li Guixun slowly raised his head and looked at Huo Xiang, who was bending over and standing in front of him, eyes full of sincerity and concern. He really wanted to lean on his arms and cry without restraint.
But he held back.
He just raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Okay, let's find a solution together."
To be honest, Huo Xiang was a little worried about Li Guixun's mental state.
He had minored in psychology when he was in college. Although he only learned some theoretical knowledge, he felt that the pressure Li Guixun was under was no less than that of Li Weiwei.
Just think about it, your mother died young, your father remarried, your sister is ill, and you are imprisoned in your prime years. It's simply too full of buffs!
Moreover, Li Guixun omitted a lot of content in his previous words.
For example, his parents. He called her by her name. Even though Li De was still alive, he said that Weiwei was his only relative. It is completely understandable that he broke up with Li De because of Weiwei, but what about Mu Lin? Why did Li Guixun show no nostalgia or warmth when he mentioned her?
For another example, when Weiwei was extremely frightened and tried to stop him, Li Guixun still killed the beast in front of her...
Huo Xiang felt that there must be many unknown stories hidden in the omitted content.
Of course, this was not his concern.
He just wanted to say that people who seem to be fine, if they really have something, are often in more serious condition than the average person.
Huo Xiang thought, I should pay more attention to Li Guixun in the future! When the time is right in the future, remind him to see a psychologist.
So, the two cobblers discussed a solution.
