Zhu Kai is the younger brother of Li Jianglin's wife Zhu Yun.
Li Zhenruo has always felt that only Zhu Yun is the one Li Jianglin really loves, and one of the reasons is because of Zhu Kai.
Zhu Kai is much younger than Zhu Yun, but not far from Li Zhenzi's age, because his parents are too old and have no energy to take care of him. Zhu Kai grew up with Zhu Yun and Li Jianglin since he was a child.
Sometimes Li Zhenruo felt that Li Jianglin loved Zhu Kai more than his sons.
Growing up in Li's family, it's not that Li Zhenruo has no friends, Zhu Kai has always had a good relationship with him. But Zhu Kai's personality is really unreliable, perhaps because he lacks parental discipline, he has a flamboyant personality since he was a child, and dares to provoke any kind of trouble.
Perhaps it was because of his unreliable personality that although Li Jianglin liked Zhu Kai, he never wanted him to interfere with Yunlin's affairs. Instead, he gave him a lot of money and let him spend his days and nights.
When he received the call from Li Zhenruo, Zhu Kai seemed to have not woken up at first, but when he heard the words Li Zhenruo, he suddenly woke up a lot.
He sneered, "Who are you again?"
Li Zhenruo said to him, "I am Li Zhenruo."
Zhu Kai laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Li Zhenruo? You didn't know that Li Zhenruo was dead long ago? Are you Li Zhenruo?"
Li Zhenruo is not angry, he is familiar with Zhu Kai, the friendship between the two of them needs to be in quotation marks, it is fine to spend time together, but it is impossible to confide in each other, he does not expect Zhu Kai to be sad because of his death.
Li Zhenruo said, "Where are you now?"
Zhu Kai snorted, "I'm on vacation with your dad along the coast, don't you know? Aren't you already dead, have no ability at all?"
Li Zhenruo lowered his voice, "You don't believe me? Did you forget that you lent me 500,000 yuan to release the water and haven't returned it to me?"
Zhu Kai said, "Did Li Zhenruo tell you?"
Li Zhenruo continued: "Do you still remember that time you secretly replaced my dad's cigarettes with marijuana?"
This matter was quite secret, Zhu Kai only told Li Zhenruo, it was completely a prank mentality. The two of them actually shared a lot of little secrets, it wasn't a big deal, but they kept their promises to each other, and no one said anything about it.
Zhu Kai didn't expect him to mention this matter, he was silent for a few seconds, his tone became more serious, "Who are you?"
Even if it's not Li Zhenruo, it must be someone who is very close to Li Zhenruo.
Li Zhenruo still said: "I am Li Zhenruo."
Zhu Kai was different from Li Zhenran. Li Zhenruo didn't dare to give Li Zhenran any hints to make him think in that direction. He was afraid that Li Zhenran would be able to figure out the whole truth if he got a little clue. But Zhu Kai, he believed that the other party would not believe it at all.
Zhu Kai snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me who you are? If you don't tell me, I'll die."
"Oh, don't worry," Li Zhenruo said quickly, "I have something I want you to tell Li Jianglin."
Zhu Kai laughed, with some sarcasm, "Isn't it your father? So rude?"
I have to admit that I was a little annoyed by his words, but Li Zhenruo's tone was very calm, not revealing his emotions at all, "Tell him, let Li Zhentai and Wen Chun get married quickly, or Wen Chun will run away with others gone."
Zhu Kai asked with some doubts in his tone, "What do you mean?"
Li Zhenruo said: "That's what it means, goodbye."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Li Zhenruo sent a text message to Li Zhentai's phone number with his mobile phone: "I have a photo of your wife, if you are interested, please contact me."
After sending it, he didn't wait for a reply, so he pulled out the phone card, broke it into two pieces and threw it away.
Just based on the smell of Li Zhen's own perfume, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that he has something to do with Wen Chun, but now whether he has something to do with Wen Chun or not, Li Zhenruo feels that the waters of the Li family should be muddied first. , If you have any tell's feet, what should be exposed will always be exposed a little.
Li Zhenruo put the original phone card back, turned around and walked towards the neighborhood. He found an aunt on the side of the road to ask for directions, and walked into a small alley in the direction pointed by the other party.
This address is the past address of Li Zhenruo's biological mother.
For his mother, Li Zhenruo was extremely persistent for a long time, that is when he was still young and unable to control his own life.
I remember one time when he was wronged because of something, he cried and told Li Jianglin that he was looking for his mother, and then he planned to run away from home, which made Li Jianglin even more angry and was fined to kneel for a long time.
The dinner that day was brought to him secretly by Zhu Kai.
Later, when he had the ability to find the whereabouts of his mother, he was no longer so persistent. He was no longer a child who needed his mother, but a man with other goals to pursue.
However, he still found someone to help him check his mother's whereabouts, but he only got one address, because his mother had passed away for many years, this address was where his mother used to live, and she lived here until her death.
Even though they were in the same city, so close to each other, they never thought of coming to see him.
Li Zhenruo, who got this address, had never been there, and he felt that it was meaningless.
This time, it was not because Li Zhenruo was obsessed with his mother, but because he wanted to find some clues, such as how his mother and Li Jianglin met back then, and why his mother was pregnant with someone else's child and falsely claimed that it was Li Jianglin's. After being buried for so many years, the person involved is dead, so who dug it up
Li Zhenruo wanted to know many things, but he never thought about finding his biological father. If Li Jianglin was not his father, then the role of father would not exist for him.
This building has been around for a long time, and it is hidden behind the high-rise buildings in the city. It would be very difficult for Li Zhenruo to find it unless someone showed the way.
Probably due to demolition, many residents of the building have moved out, and now less than half of the original residents remain.
Li Zhenruo changed his personal shell and changed his identity, which also brought him a lot of benefits. At least he didn't need to cover up what he did, and no one would doubt his identity.
According to the room number written in the address, he climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor, walked to the leftmost room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
He tried to knock four or five times, but no one came to open the door for him. Instead, he knocked on the next door.
It was a man in his fifties who opened the door. He looked him up and down and said, "Did you knock wrong?"
Li Zhenruo asked politely, "Is there no one here?"
The man said: "There was no one more than ten years ago."
Li Zhenruo asked him, "Excuse me, is there a lady named Zhao Yuqiong living here?"
The man frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said: "I don't know, there used to be a woman living in this house, and no one has lived in it since she disappeared more than ten years ago."
Li Zhenruo regretted that he didn't bring a pack of cigarettes with him. At any rate, passing a cigarette was convenient for him to talk to the other party. He could only say, "I'm really sorry to bother you, but how long have you lived here?"
The man said, "Twenty or thirty years."
Li Zhenruo said: "Then you must know when the lady who lives in this house moved in?"
The man recalled it carefully, and said: "It seems that she moved here more than 20 years ago. When she moved here, she was alone. After a few months, she had a big belly."
Li Zhenruo quickly asked, "Then have you ever seen a man with her?"
The man shook his head, "I haven't seen it before. This woman doesn't associate with others. I don't know when she went to give birth to the child. Anyway, her stomach was flat, but the child was not brought back."
Li Zhenruo put his palm on the door, "Did anyone live here later? Does the house belong to her?"
The man still shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know where she went, anyway, one day I suddenly didn't see her, and there was no one else."
Li Zhenruo couldn't help asking: "Then her relic..."
At this time, a woman's voice came from behind the man calling him, "Who is it? I've been talking for a long time!"
The man said, "It's nothing," and before Li Zhenruo could finish asking, he said hastily, "I don't know." Then he closed the door forcefully.
Li Zhenruo did not leave immediately.
At this moment, his state of mind was different from when he just learned of his mother's death. Although he was not Li Jianglin's biological son, it was a little too heartless for Li Jianglin to let his mistress be so lonely until she died of illness.
There were mottled traces on the wooden door in front of him, Li Zhenruo felt sad for a while, took another deep breath, and then turned and left.
He had an idea, hoping to find someone to pry open the door and go in to have a look inside. He wondered if he could still find Zhao Yuqiong's relics.
Zhao Yuqiong died of illness in the hospital more than ten years ago. It is said that she had severed ties with her family long ago, and it was Li Jianglin who took care of her funeral.
She has passed away for more than ten years. If Zhao Yuqiong's name was originally registered for this house, it is reasonable to say that Li Zhenruo should inherit it after her death. But at that time Li Zhenruo was too young, he didn't even know who his mother was, let alone such a house existed. After a long time, when he was able to find someone to check his mother's identity, he found out that the house had been registered under Li Jianglin's name.
Li Jianglin definitely doesn't like such a house. According to the neighbor's family, maybe Zhao Yuqiong went to the hospital and never came back, so is it possible that there is no one in this house? Have you touched it and still keep it until now
Li Zhenruo walked downstairs, thinking that this matter should not be rushed, he had to take it step by step. Now his every move, what he fears the most is to arouse Li Zhenran's suspicion.
If Li Zhenran doubted him, he might not be able to go back to Li's house. Well, that's just one of the reasons, and more importantly, he didn't want Li Zhenran to doubt him.
Just as she went downstairs, Li Zhenruo's cell phone rang.
Li Zhenran's meeting was over, so he asked him, "Where are you?"
Li Zhenruo said, "I'm looking for my mother."
Li Zhenran asked him, "Did you find it?"
Li Zhenruo replied: "No, I seem to have misremembered the address of the pet store, I have to check again."
Li Zhenran said: "I found it and took a photo for me to see."
"..." Li Zhenruo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Because of Li Zhenran's sudden request, Li Zhenruo had no choice but to go to the pet store to find his cat mother. When he left that time, Mama Yu put him in a cage and took a taxi back. Now Li Zhenruo doesn't know the exact address, but only vaguely remembers the name of the pet shop, and searches it on the Internet with her mobile phone.
He went to eat Thai hot pot alone at noon.
Although the people around him, including the waiter, cast strange gazes on him intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't care. This hot and sour taste really suited his taste.
After lunch, Li Zhenruo took a taxi, showed the driver the address of the pet store he had searched, and asked the driver to take him there.
Li Zhenruo found that finding a rich and generous master was indeed a happy thing. He was used to living a good life since he was a child, and he didn't want to wrong himself at all in terms of food and clothing.
The driver sent him to the address. When he got off the bus, Li Zhenruo took a look at the surroundings and realized that he was right. This was the pet shop where he was born.
There is a big cage at the entrance of the pet store, and a few little Samoyeds are basking in the sun inside.
He walked in like a guest, and the boss greeted him and lowered his head to shave a teddy.
Li Zhenruo found the pet cage he was in when he was born, and now it has been replaced by a litter of English shorts. He looked around and found his mother cat in a small pet cage in the corner.
The female cat was sleeping on her stomach. She didn't know whether she heard something or smelled it, so she suddenly opened her eyes and raised her head.
Li Zhenruo was a little excited for no reason, he put his face close to the side of the cage and looked inside.
His mother cat stood up suddenly, leaned close to the cage and stared at him with wide eyes.
Li Zhenruo felt that the other party probably recognized him.
The mother cat stretched out a paw from the gap in the cage. Li Zhenruo lowered her head and let her touch the top of her head with her paw. She probably really wanted to get closer to Li Zhenruo, but unfortunately she was blocked by the cage and couldn't get out.
Li Zhenruo stretched out his fingers and stroked the top of her head with difficulty. At this moment, remembering Li Zhenran's request, she took out her phone and took two photos of her.
At that moment, Li Zhenruo really wanted to buy her and take her home.
But even if he brought it back, Li Zhenran would definitely not agree to raise another cat. Li Zhenruo didn't know what would happen to him in the future, so how could he afford the life of another cat? It's better to let her eat and drink here, and sleep at leisure every day.
Before leaving, Li Zhenruo kissed the mother cat's nose and said silently: "Bye, I will come back to see you later."
He thought that if he had the conditions one day, he would take the mother cat back to take care of her.
Li Zhenruo rushed home before five o'clock in the afternoon.
Before he came back, he saw a long queue outside a small pastry shop outside the pet store, so he also ran to line up and bought a bag of mung bean cakes.
Of course, Li Zhenran couldn't come back so early, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening when he came back.
Li Zhenruo was a little hungry, so he ate two mung bean pancakes first.
When Li Zhenran came back, he saw Li Zhenruo lying on the big recliner on the balcony, comfortable and leisurely.
His cat always lies lazily on its stomach, and the owner never comes to welcome him when he comes home, but sometimes he is as obedient as a pet dog, following him every step of the way.
Li Zhenran walked to the balcony, bent down and reached out to fiddle with Li Zhenruo's hair.
Li Zhenruo opened his eyes, "Are you back?"
He moved a seat to the side, and the reclining chair was wide enough for two big men to lie down side by side, so Li Zhenran sat down beside him.
If Li Zhenruo wanted to be a qualified pet, he reached out to pick up the mung bean cake from the side, and offered to feed it to Li Zhenran's mouth.
Li Zhenran glanced at him, opened his mouth and bit the mung bean cake.
Seeing him take a bite, Li Zhenruo asked, "Is it delicious? I have been queuing for more than twenty minutes."
Li Zhenran said, "It's okay."
Li Zhenruo continued to feed him until he finished eating the whole thing. Li Zhenruo saw that some crumbs were falling off his chest, so he reached out to help him pick them off.
It's almost summer, and the weather is getting hotter every day. Li Zhenruo is wearing a pair of thin trousers, and when his legs are attached to Li Zhenran's, he can clearly feel the heat of his body.
It doesn't seem right to stick too close like this, but there seems to be nothing wrong.
It's just that once he calmed down, Li Zhenruo suddenly felt that the other party's breath was very obvious. He could hear Li Zhenran's slight breathing, and he could see his slightly undulating chest. A little uncomfortable.
The hot pot that I had for dinner yesterday was Chinese food for dinner today. Li Zhenran rejected the Japanese food proposed by Li Zhenruo again.
An exquisite small private restaurant, you need to call and book half a day in advance to get a seat.
If Li Zhenruo followed Li Zhenran over there, he knew that he should have made up his mind in advance.
The environment here is very elegant. It is more like an elegant study room than a restaurant. There are bookshelves around it full of books.
A small single room for two people.
The boss doesn't let you order food, and usually you can eat whatever comes with it, but Li Zhenran still insists on ordering a comprehensive sashimi, which can be regarded as satisfying Li Zhenruo's desire to eat Japanese food.
While eating, Li Zhenruo showed Li Zhenran the photos taken by his phone.
Li Zhenran looked at the pie-faced mother cat in the photo, and said, "It looks exactly like you."
Li Zhenruo said, "Well, I think so too."
His color and facial features are very close to the mother cat, and he is the best-looking kitten in the litter.
Li Zhenran asked him, "Where's your father?"
Li Zhenruo picked up the sashimi with chopsticks, "How would I know, it must be a breeder cat."
Zhao Yuqiong was still Li Jianglin's titular mistress at any rate, and his cat mother and cat father were probably flirtatious for a moment, and they stopped seeing each other after satisfying their physical needs.
Li Zhenran looked at the photo and seemed a little regretful, "It's a pity that I didn't take a photo of you, when will you change back?"
Li Zhenruo raised his eyelids to look at him, and cursed in his heart: I'm a cat lover!
While talking and eating, when almost two-thirds of the dishes on the table were settled, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Li Zhenruo turned his head to look, and the woman standing at the door turned out to be Yue Zijia.
Yue Zijia was wearing a small white dress with exquisite makeup. She also seemed to be taken aback for a moment, stepped back to look at the door plate, and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally walked the wrong way."
