"Jincheng? Jincheng!"
Li Jincheng woke up from his nightmare. When he woke up, he saw Wei Chunfang calling him. He couldn't recover for a long time.
Wei Chunfang brought him up since he was a child, but before that, Li Jincheng had not seen her for more than four years.
After thinking this, he stood up and looked around again.
The room was his own room in Hong Kong Island. Looking at the familiar furniture and layout, Li Jincheng unconsciously touched his neck.
There is no tenderness there, but why is this happening? Isn't he already dead
"Jincheng, it's time to go downstairs for dinner, and..." Wei Chunfang looked at him and said, "Your father seems to have something to say to you."
"Sister Fang, what year is this year?"
"11 years, what happened?"
Li Jincheng looked a little strange today, his expression was dazed, and his whole body exuded a cold aura. Did he already know about that
Wei Chunfang had watched him grow up since she was a child. After thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She was about to sit by the bed and comfort him, but Li Jincheng raised his head at this time and said, "I understand, Sister Fang, I Get down right away.”
Everything around me is too real, so I am reborn
Li Jincheng looked at his clenched and unclenched hands and sat on the bed for a long time before he got up and went downstairs.
It should be summer at this time. Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, the bright sunshine falls on the blue water of Tai Shue Wan opposite. The water and sky are the same color and sparkling.
His father, Li Yaozu, was sitting at the dining table eating. When he saw him coming downstairs, he raised his chin and motioned for him to come over and eat.
He is still the same as he remembers, well-maintained and well-educated that can be seen at a glance. From the contours of his facial features and face, you can feel that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
Thinking of what Liao Changtong said to him before he died, Li Jincheng couldn't help but clench his hands.
At that time, Liao Changyuan accused him of being blind and ignorant, but in fact, Li Jincheng's biological mother had passed away when he was two years old.
He only knew that his mother suffered from severe depression. Shortly after being admitted to the hospital, she jumped from the window of the ward. But at that time, his father told him that his mother had severed ties with her because her family had severed ties with her, and she suffered from postpartum illness. Depression, that's why he chose to end his life in that way.
What can a two-year-old understand? In addition, his father kept repeating such words in his ears since then, making him believe it to be true.
He is really hopelessly stupid. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he can find a lot of strange things in it, especially the way others look at him, which seems to be both sympathy and ridicule.
It may be the same as what Liao Changyuan said. Many people in the upper class circles on Hong Kong Island are clearly aware of the troubles in their families. Unfortunately, he is open-minded and optimistic by nature. If he can't figure it out, he simply throws these things aside and ignores them!
Looking at Li Yaozu who was eating not far away, Li Jincheng actually wanted to rush to him and question him, asking him what he did to his mother in the first place.
Over the years, even if he didn't say anything, he could still feel the obvious gap when facing his so-called family members.
In order to work hard to integrate into them, he has always been very kind to these people. Even his monthly salary, excluding necessary expenses, was spent on these people.
At that time, when they find themselves trying to please them in a humble way, will they laugh at their own stupidity and naivety in their hearts
"Jincheng, why are you so stunned? Why don't you come over for dinner?"
Li Yaozu has always been a bit harsh to him. In the past, Li Jincheng thought it was because he was the eldest son in the family, but now it seems that he is just indifferent to him.
After letting go of his clenched fists, Li Jincheng sat down opposite him without saying a word.
"Come to my study after dinner. I have something to tell you."
Li Jincheng remained silent, and Li Yaozu was used to it. Gradually, there was only the slight sound of bowls and chopsticks hitting each other on the dining table.
"Brother! You're awake! What are you eating?"
While talking, Li Jiajun, who had just swam in the backyard swimming pool and had already finished his shower and came downstairs, put his arm on Li Jincheng's shoulder. Seeing that there were peeled shrimps in his bowl, he threw the shrimps away. into his own mouth.
In the past, Li Jincheng thought that Li Jiajun was the best person in his family. Although he was only two years younger than himself, because of the teachings of Li Yaozu and Song Wanru, he had held Li Jiajun in his hands like a treasure since he was a child.
Take him to and from school, play with him, and help him bathe.
In the past, Li Jiajun was domineering and willful, but it wasn't until he entered high school and his rebellious period was completely over that he became a little nicer to Li Jincheng.
It's a pity that it was only good on the surface. Li Jincheng couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile when he thought that he had been happy because of his changes.
The two of them usually had a pretty good relationship. Seeing that Li Jincheng ignored him, Li Jiajun shouted in confusion: "Brother?"
Li Jincheng looked at him following the sound, and then he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he leaned back.
The Li Jiajun in front of him was shrouded in a layer of black mist, and his facial features became abstract and distorted by the black air that slid like a living thing.
This feeling is a bit like watching a ghost movie, but because you are so close, the terrifying effect is doubled.
Li Jincheng clenched the chopsticks in his hands, struggling to suppress his screams. After a while, Li Jiajun's face emerged from the mist.
Compared with Li Jincheng's softer appearance, Li Jiajun looks much brighter and more heroic. This was also what Li Yaozu was most proud of in the past. He said that Li Jiajun's appearance followed him.
Thinking of what Liao Yuanhua had said to him before he died, Li Jincheng finally came to his senses.
The black mist still hadn't disappeared, floating around him. Li Jincheng didn't know if it was a problem with his eyes or a psychological factor. After sitting upright, he said, "I'm fine."
His attitude made Li Yaozu feel a little dissatisfied, but thinking that he was asking for something from him, he could only look at Li Jiajun kindly and said, "Jiajun, come over and eat quickly, the food is almost cold!"
The family has its own fixed position when eating. Li Yaozu is in the middle, Song Wanru is on the right, and Li Jiajun is next. Li Jincheng is facing him, forming a clear and antagonistic situation with them.
The two father and son were talking intimately at the dinner table. Not long after, Song Wanru, who was out shopping, also came back.
Song Wanru is the same age as Li Yaozu, but she looks much younger than her actual age.
In the early years, she was in charge of the financial power of her family's plastic factory. In recent years, she felt that she was getting older. In addition, she hoped that Li Jiajun could become independent as soon as possible, so she settled down to be her noble lady at home.
When Song Wanru came out of the shower, the servant had already placed her separate lunch on the table.
Song Wanru was the most meticulous person Li Jincheng had ever seen. She strictly controlled her diet. Ever since she was a child, Li Jincheng had never seen her without makeup.
After taking a look at the exquisite and low-calorie Western food, when Li Jincheng looked up, he realized that Song Wanru's body was also covered in a black mist, but the color was not as dark as that of Li Jiajun.
Li Jincheng didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the three people opposite who kept talking and laughing, he quickly lost his appetite.
"Jincheng, wait a minute, I..."
"I have something to do."
Li Yaozu's unfinished words were interrupted by Li Jincheng. He was stunned for a moment before he frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
"I don't feel well, I have to go to the hospital."
"Humph, you have quite a temper."
Li Yaozu looked at his back with dissatisfaction.
After undergoing a series of examinations at the hospital, the doctor told Li Jincheng that there was no problem with his eyes. Li Jincheng nodded and went to a nearby specialized psychological clinic.
The results of the psychological evaluation will not be known for two days. When Li Jincheng walked out of the building, it was getting late. He didn't want to go back to the home that was so disgusting that it made him want to vomit. He ate outside and sat in that restaurant for a few days. Hours later, he drove home.
It was already late at night when he got home, and just as he expected, Li Yaozu was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.
"Jincheng, come here, dad has something to say to you."
Li Jincheng sat down next to him without saying a word. Li Yaozu coughed dryly and said, "Are you busy with work recently?"
Li Jincheng didn't like doing business, and he had long noticed that Li Yaozu and Song Wanru wanted Li Jiajun to inherit the family business. Therefore, after graduating from college, he chose to work as a Chinese teacher in a well-known private primary school on Hong Kong Island.
Knowing that Li Yaozu was out of words, Li Jincheng just shook his head.
"So... do you have a boyfriend?"
Li Jincheng had openly come out to them in his sophomore year of high school. Thinking of the expression of hatred on Li Yaozu's face at that time, Song Wanru couldn't restrain her excitement, and he still shook his head expressionlessly.
"It's like this... Does Rongsheng Group know? Executive President He Zongtong and General Manager He Zhenxuan are related by grandson. Like you, He Zhenxuan also likes men..." After a pause, Li Yaozu said again: "If possible, I would like to Let me introduce you two to each other..."
Having said this, Li Jincheng finally looked up at him.
His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through all his thoughts. Li Yaozu had no choice but to sigh, and then he said: "Actually, He Zongtong thinks you are good... You also know how much power and wealth their family has in Hong Kong Island. He Zongtong is worried He Zhenxuan was deceived, so he came up with this method, which is similar to a blind date... It just so happens that you don't have a boyfriend either... Why don't you meet him first? "
As if to increase the credibility of his words, he added: "Don't worry, He Zongtong made it very clear to me. He said that if you think each other is suitable, he has no objection to your marriage. Also, he has given your birth date and horoscope. I want to go too, the fortune teller said you are very suitable for marriage..."
After chatting for a long time, when Li Yaozu came back to his senses, he realized that Li Jincheng had not said a word since he entered the door. Li Yaozu felt that he was well-educated, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and he put down his hands heavily. After holding the tea cup, he said: "Li Jincheng, the most basic etiquette, I have said so many things to you, shouldn't you tell me your inner thoughts?"
Li Jincheng looked as usual, just sitting on the sofa and looking at him.
There was calmness in his eyes. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Li Yao's ancestor was defeated. Thinking of Li Jincheng's character of always being soft-hearted and not hard-hearted, he had to slow down his tone and said: "There are some things I won't tell you. Because I'm afraid you'll be worried about me... Jincheng, my family's business is in trouble. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive for a few months and it will go bankrupt. He Zongtong told me that if you agree to marry He Zhenxuan, he will consider helping the family. Plastic factory investment..."
Li Jincheng sneered inwardly, thinking that he had finally revealed his true purpose.
