He Zongtong originally thought that he would save his family's plastic factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he was mentally prepared accordingly. Therefore, after hearing what Li Jincheng said, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
He had read all the information about Li Jincheng and knew about the little things going on in their family. He didn't know if Li Jincheng knew about it, but the first thing he wanted was Li Jincheng. As for the rest, he just wanted to help.
There are only two people that He Zongtong really cares about in this life, He Zhenxuan and Rongsheng.
Although this matter initially seemed a bit transactional, since it was Li Jincheng's own wish, and in his heart, Li Yaozu was just a dirty little person who had no reputation, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "I respect your decision."
"Thank you, grandpa."
Seeing him calling him grandpa obediently, He Zongtong nodded with a smile on his face.
Due to He Zongtong's enthusiasm, Li Jincheng stayed at their house for dinner that night.
At dinner, everyone from the He family was present.
He Zhenxuan's father was the eldest in the family. When He Zhenxuan was a sophomore in high school, he and his wife passed away in a car accident, leaving him with two younger brothers and a younger sister.
He Zhenxuan's second uncle looks to be about the same age as Li Yaozu, and exudes a majestic aura. His wife is a typical noble lady, with a generous manner and a subtle smile.
A pair of children have grown up and are now working in Rongsheng.
He Zhenxuan's third uncle should have been very romantic when he was young. Even though he is now middle-aged, there are still traces of that time on his body.
His wife was much younger than him. Li Jincheng recognized her as Xiao Peiting, the most popular starlet in Hong Kong. However, because she also came from an extraordinary background, she was the most cheerful and confident among the group.
The two have a daughter who is still in kindergarten.
Aunt He Zhenxuan gave people a rather strange feeling. She was dressed in black. Regardless of her expression or the overall feeling she gave people, she seemed a little nervous.
Her husband also works in Rongsheng.
"Are you Li Jincheng?"
After He Zongtong introduced everyone one by one, Xiao Peiting, who was sitting diagonally across from Li Jincheng, quickly asked.
"yes."
"Ah! Then you are the one who wants to fend off Zhenxuan?"
Seeing that Li Jincheng didn't speak, she added: "From now on, we Zhenxuan will depend on you! You don't know how unlucky he has been this year. He had a car accident, an operation, and was almost kidnapped..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by He Zongtong's cough. It seemed that it was only at this moment that Xiao Peiting realized that she had said the wrong thing and stuck out her tongue. She lowered her head and concentrated on eating.
But it can be seen that she is not very afraid of He Zongtong.
Li Jincheng didn't know what her intentions were when she said these words, whether she was naive or deliberate, but no matter what, Xiao Peiting's words finally cleared up his doubts.
He had read about such things in books. The rich families in ancient times, because they were calculated to have poor descendants and feared that they would die young, bought people to bear the names of their descendants. At the same time, they hoped that those disasters would happen to those families. On people.
Li Jincheng didn't know whether the matter was true or not, but thinking of Huang Yiqing who appeared here in the afternoon, he was a little confused that someone like He Zongtong could be so superstitious.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little stagnant, but Li Jincheng just ate quietly.
He won't take these things to heart, or in other words, there are more important things waiting for him to do now, and in the final analysis, this is the only shortcut he has at the moment.
Li Jincheng's reaction was somewhat beyond the He family's expectations. He Zhenxuan looked at him intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking of the contents in the information, he couldn't help but sympathize with Li Jincheng.
"My third aunt is like that. I hope you don't take those words to heart."
Hearing He Zhenxuan whisper something as he was escorting him out, Li Jincheng was a little surprised at his thoughtfulness. He turned around and said "good", and asked He Zhenxuan to go in quickly.
"Tomorrow... are you free?"
"Are you making a date with yourself?"
Li Jincheng was a little confused about He Zhenxuan's thoughts. He didn't know if he really had a good impression of him, or if he simply listened to his grandfather's words.
But when he noticed the focused look on He Zhenxuan's face, he couldn't help but say: "I should be free."
At that time, he felt a little regretful, thinking that he should have met He Zhenxuan in his previous life before making a decision.
Li Jincheng stood facing the light, and the light in the room hit him, making the lines of his face very soft, with a slight smile on his face. He Zhenxuan looked up at him, and inadvertently thought of the sentence "Zhao Qinglian is not demonic", which seemed to be After meeting Li Jincheng, he became somewhat poetic.
"Zhenxuan, do you like it very much?"
The car carrying Li Jincheng had already driven out of the door of He's house, but He Zhenxuan never took his eyes back.
Uncle Shao was He Zhenxuan's favorite person besides his grandfather. Hearing the friendly teasing in his tone, He Zhenxuan just responded: "I like it."
"Shall I push you in?"
"good."
When they entered the room, their moods had changed to varying degrees. Uncle Shao felt that every decision the old man made seemed so wise and powerful. As for He Zhenxuan, he thought that if Li Jincheng could stay like this, he would definitely be sincere in the future. Be nice to him.
When he got home, Li Yaozu was waiting in the living room as expected.
"How about it?"
"I'll try to engage with him."
Li Jincheng's smile seemed a little sinister, but at this time Li Yaozu was carried away by ecstasy. He even said a few words of good boy, and then said: "I knew you could do it!"
Li Jincheng glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned and went upstairs.
"Success?"
Seeing Song Wanru walking out in pajamas, Li Yaozu excitedly pulled her to his side and said, "Of course, I am his father! How dare he not listen to what I say?!"
There was pride in her tone, but Song Wanru seemed a little disapproving of it.
In her heart, homosexuality was disgusting, and Li Jincheng was a useless waste, but she couldn't help but get a little excited when she thought about the benefits they would get after he married into the He family.
"Will He Zongtong really inject capital into our plastic factory?"
"Nonsense! He asked Jincheng to marry him because Jincheng has a good life and can protect He Zhenxuan from disaster! If he doesn't fulfill his promise, I will let Jincheng go home immediately!"
"Is he so superstitious?"
"I don't know, maybe you are old and confused?"
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? What's the He family? Also, who are you going to marry?"
Li Jiajun, who came back from the entertainment, had actually been standing in the living room for a long time and clearly heard the conversation between his parents, but he couldn't believe it!
He Zhenxuan was his, how could a loser like Li Jincheng be worthy of him? !
Seeing Li Jiajun's face pale and his hands clenched, Li Yaozu and Song Wanru looked at each other with some confusion.
Although Li Jincheng's marriage into the He family would indeed bring them a lot of benefits, their behavior was the same as selling their son.
They don't care what outsiders think, but they don't want to ruin their impression on their son.
"Jiajun..."
Seeing Li Yaozu's embarrassed look, Li Jiajun looked at him coldly and said, "You want me to marry He Zhenxuan?"
"Your brother likes men, and He Zhenxuan's conditions are good. We do this... for his own good."
"Fart! You just want to get benefits from the He family!"
After saying this, Li Jiajun rushed upstairs, leaving Li Yaozu and Song Wanru in embarrassment. After a while, Li Yaozu took Song Wanru's hand and said, "Jiajun is just too simple and kind."
"Yes, he is always thinking about his brother."
As soon as Li Jincheng came out of the shower, he heard a loud knock on his door. When he heard Li Jiajun's voice outside the door, the expression on his face couldn't help but become colder.
Just now, he received the investigation results from the detective agency.
Li Yaozu and Song Wanru were college classmates. After Li Yaozu got married and established the plastic factory with Li Jincheng's mother, she found Li Yaozu again.
There is no airtight wall in the world. In addition to other worries, Li Jincheng's mother suffered from mild postpartum depression shortly after giving birth to him.
What happened next was the same as what that good sister Fang said.
Through the name provided by Sister Fang, the people from the detective agency have found her good sister from back then, and then through her, the detective agency found more people who used to be servants in the Li family.
Several people had the same story, so Li Jincheng was certain that Song Wanru framed the case and teamed up with Li Yaozu to drive his mother crazy.
If that's the case, I won't be too harsh on them no matter what I do in the future, right
"What's up?"
The look on Li Jincheng's face was very cold, and Li Jiajun felt relieved, thinking that he might also be opposed to his parents' decision in his heart.
"Brother, do your parents want you to marry He Zhenxuan?"
Li Jiajun in front of him showed obvious worry in his expression.
If he didn't know his true thoughts, Li Jincheng felt that he might have misunderstood him again. He sneered in his heart and said, "Yes."
"They are going too far! Brother, you can't marry He Zhenxuan!"
"Why?"
"You and He Zhenxuan don't really love each other. Your parents did that just to get some benefits from the He family." After a pause, he added: "Brother... I can't bear to see you being wronged. Growing up... at home... The best person to me is you..."
Li Jiajun seemed sad with his head lowered. Li Jincheng looked at him expressionlessly, thinking that this man had outstanding acting skills and it was a pity not to be an artist.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Get out of here! Find someone who loves you and spend your life with him!"
Li Jiajun also said this to himself in his previous life. At that time, in Li Jincheng's heart, Li Jiajun was simple, warm-blooded, kind-hearted, and the person who cared about him the most besides Sister Fang.
Not that his true character is like that, but he is very good at pretending and acting.
Just like the words he said at this time, he had a childish innocence and did not hide the anger in his heart. Apart from this, he was the only person in the family who was willing to tell the truth to him.
So at that time, it was no wonder that Li Jincheng thought that he was really thinking about himself.
I just don’t know what kind of personality he would have in front of his friends and classmates.
"You want me to give up everything here?"
Seeing Li Jincheng looking at him with a half-smile, Li Jiajun felt a little uneasy, but at the moment, all he could think about was the fact that Li Jincheng couldn't marry He Zhenxuan.
If Li Jincheng married a fat-headed person who could also bring benefits to their family, he would definitely be happy to see it happen, but this matter involved He Zhenxuan.
That was the secret he kept deep in his heart, the god that even he could only look up to.
"elder brother… "
The black fog around Li Jiajun still hadn't disappeared. Sensing that he wanted to come over and hold his hand, Li Jincheng avoided it with some disgust and said, "This matter is not up to me." After that, he glanced out the door and said: "You should ask them."
Ever since Li Jincheng was reborn, he had never called Li Yaozu and Song Wanru "parents". Fortunately, Li Jiajun was smart enough and immediately understood the meaning of his words.
"Don't worry, brother, as long as you don't like He Zhenxuan, I will definitely intercede with your parents on your behalf!"
You have to die once to understand the true meaning of this sentence. Li Jincheng locked the door and then called Zou Junkai.
Zou Junkai is his colleague. They are the same age and they have a common topic, so they have a good relationship.
"Jincheng!"
"Are you back?"
"Well, I just arrived today, anything?"
"Can I move in with you?"
"Why?"
"The discipline at home is too strict. Also, I want a change of environment."
Zou Junkai's parents immigrated abroad two years ago, so every winter and summer vacation, he would fly to Vancouver to visit them. After hearing what Li Jincheng said, Zou Junkai smiled evilly and said, "I thought you enjoyed that kind of family style." warmth."
Do you have that kind of thing
Li Jincheng was smiling mockingly, and Zou Junkai said again: "Okay! You can move here tomorrow, but Li Jincheng, you have to share half of the water and electricity bills for me in the future!"
"That's as it should be."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jincheng lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
