In order to facilitate consignment, Li Zhenran specially asked someone to buy a new pet cage for Li Zhenruo. After getting off the plane, he did not release Li Zhenruo from the pet cage, but carried the cage into the car all the time.
Hua Yibang asked Li Zhenran where to go back, and Li Zhenran asked the driver to drive him back to Li's house. As for the things in the apartment, let Hua Yibang go over and help him pack them back.
Li Zhenruo lay quietly in the cage without moving. He hadn't settled down yet.
However, just as the car left the airport and was about to get on the highway, Li Zhenran answered the phone. He calmly said "um" twice, then hung up the phone and said to Hua Yibang, "Dad is back today."
Hua Yibang was taken aback, then turned his head and asked, "Mr. Li is back today? Why is it so sudden?"
Li Zhenruo raised his head all of a sudden, his mind became active, he wondered why Li Jianglin came back suddenly? Could it be because of the phone call he made to Zhu Kai, Zhu Kai told Li Jianglin, so Li Jianglin came back to arrest Li Zhenzi and Wen Chun himself? Or was it because of Li Jianglin's physical condition that he suddenly decided to come back from the coast
When Hua Yibang asked Li Zhenran, Li Zhenruo couldn't help but listen carefully.
But unexpectedly, Li Zhenran only said one sentence: "I don't know."
Hua Yibang was silent for a while, and then asked again: "I don't know when Mr. Li decided to come back, why did he notify you now?"
Li Zhenruo thought Hua Yibang was really cute, and asked all the questions he wanted to ask for him.
But Li Zhenran was not cute at all, and he still replied: "I don't know." However, in order to satisfy Hua Yibang's curiosity, he still said a little more, "The call is from my brother, Dad's plane in the afternoon, Brother will pick you up."
Hua Yibang asked softly, "Are you going?"
Li Zhenran said: "I won't go, I just came back from Qijiang, Dad knows about it."
It should be said that Li Jianglin knew everything they did in Yunlin.
Hua Yibang heard the words and said: "That's good, go back and have a rest, you have worked hard."
Back at Li's house, Wang Ma stood at the gate and waited for them. She took the cage that Li Zhenran handed over, put it on the tea table and let Li Zhenruo out.
Li Zhenruo came out slowly, shaking his hair.
Wang Ma hugged him and kissed him, and said, "Duanzi, I haven't seen you for a long time."
After Li Zhenran came in, Wang Ma said to him, "Your father is coming back today."
"I know," Li Zhenran nodded.
Wang Ma lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid your father doesn't like cats, so he thought you wanted to temporarily foster it outside."
Hearing Wang Ma's words, Li Zhenruo also remembered that Li Jianglin didn't like small animals very much. When he was a child, he wanted to keep a dog, but Li Jianglin didn't allow him to.
But two years ago, Zhu Kai got a little golden retriever from outside, but Li Jianglin didn't object to him raising it. This time, Zhu Kai accompanied Li Jianglin to the coast to recuperate, and Zhu Kai brought his dog there, but Li Jianglin was not unhappy at all.
Li Zhenruo always thought that if Li Jianglin didn't let Zhu Kai touch Yunlin's business, he would definitely suspect that Zhu Kai was his real son.
When Li Zhenran heard what Wang Ma said, he didn't seem to care too much, "It's okay," he just said, and walked towards the upstairs room.
Li Zhenruo subconsciously wanted to catch up, but as soon as he jumped off the coffee table, he wondered why he was chasing after him, and it wasn't because he was chasing after him, so he turned around and walked towards the dining room after two steps.
One afternoon, Li Zhenruo stayed on the first floor, while Wang Ma was knitting a sweater and watching TV, and he lay on the armrest of the sofa to accompany Wang Ma.
It was only after four o'clock, and Li Zhen came back from outside.
This is really rare, Li Zhenzi seldom eats dinner at home, even if he wants to come back, he usually comes back in time for dinner at six o'clock.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Zhenruo lying on the sofa, and said with a smile, "I thought the second brother eloped with the cat."
Wang Ma scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Zhenzi still smiled and said, "A few days ago he took the cat on vacation but didn't bring it back. I wondered if he secretly took the cat away."
Li Zhenruo glanced at him and didn't bother to talk to him at all.
At this time, Li Zhenran slowly came down from upstairs wearing slippers and cotton trousers. When he saw Li Zhenzi, he asked, "Why is Dad coming back all of a sudden?"
Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't know. He was a little thirsty when he came back, so he went to the refrigerator to drink water, and asked Li Zhenran, "How is the construction site?"
Li Zhenran said, "It's pretty good."
Li Zhen took a big sip of water, wiped the sweat off his neck, and said, "I'll just say you're still worrying about nothing, and there won't be any major problems."
Li Zhenran put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned against the wall and said, "What I want is to have no problems."
Li Zhen shook her head, and patted him on the shoulder when she passed by him, "I'll come down after changing clothes."
He came back so early because he was waiting for Li Jianglin.
Li Zhen usually showed no ambitions, but it didn't mean that he didn't take Li Jianglin seriously. He definitely did a lot of things that should be done.
Li Zhenruo looked at the back of him going upstairs, thinking that since he had ruthlessly harmed himself, perhaps the indifference he showed was simply an illusion.
Li Zhenran walked to the sofa and sat down, patted his thigh and said to Li Zhenruo, "Come here."
Li Zhenruo glanced at him and didn't want to go there at all.
Li Zhenran reached out and grabbed one of his paws and pulled him over.
Li Zhenruo was turned over and placed on Li Zhenran's lap, his first reaction was to curl his tail to cover his lower body, and then stared at Li Zhenran with wide eyes.
Li Zhenran glanced at him, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he gently rubbed the hair on his chest with one hand while talking to Wang Ma.
Wang Ma and Li Zhenran sat down to chat, and couldn't help but want to ask about Hua Yibang's situation.
Li Zhenran answered patiently one by one.
Wang Ma also said that Hua Yibang was not young and did not have a girlfriend, her brows were knit together.
Li Zhenran said, "What's the rush? He's been with me for a year, and I don't have a girlfriend either."
As soon as Wang Ma was reminded, she transferred the firepower, "Zhenran and you too, you really should think about it. You see, your elder brother is going to get married, and it will be your turn next. Your father will definitely say when he comes back this time. your."
Hearing this, Li Zhenran could only smile and said nothing.
Li Zhenruo was wary at first, but he felt comfortable after being rubbed by him, and his whole body went limp. He looked up at Li Zhenran, just as Li Zhenran also looked down at him, and stretched out his hand to pinch his nose. At that moment, Li Zhenruo felt his little heart beating suddenly, and couldn't help turning his eyes away.
After more than ten minutes, Li Zhenzi also changed clothes and came down from the second floor, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Li Zhenzi saw the cat lying on Li Zhenran's sofa next to him, and reached out to touch it, but Li Zhenruo opened his hand with a flick of his tail.
Slightly taken aback, Li Zhen thought it was a coincidence, so he reached out his hand again.
But Li Zhenruo was determined not to let him touch him, so he turned over and got up this time, sat down beside Li Zhenran, and hid behind him.
Li Zhenran naturally noticed this scene, turned his head to look at Li Zhenruo, saw him sitting next to him and licking his paws, so he reached out and scratched his neck lightly.
Li Zhen retracted his hand, rubbed his wrist and smiled, he said, "Oh, why don't you want to see me more and more."
Li Zhenran also smiled and said nothing.
Since Li Zhen didn't provoke Li Zhenruo any more, he just asked Li Zhenran, "Did you not be informed when Dad is coming back?"
Li Zhenran picked up the water glass in front of him and slowly took a sip of water, and replied, "It's my elder brother who called me."
Li Zhen said to herself: "What are you talking about? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Li Zhenran shook his head, "I don't know."
Regardless of whether he really didn't know or just didn't want to say it, Li Zhenzi didn't bother to continue asking, she leaned back and put her feet on the coffee table.
Wang Ma glanced at him and said, "Be more disciplined, your father will be unhappy when he comes back."
Li Zhen stretched herself and said, "Just take advantage of him not coming back, let's indulge for the last time."
After a while, Wang Ma got up and went to make dinner.
Li Zhenran and Li Zhenran were left sitting on the sofa and chatting about the construction site of the Qijiang project. Li Zhenruo lay on his stomach with his chin on Li Zhenran's lap, feeling a little sleepy.
Suddenly, he heard a little movement outside, so he raised his head and listened carefully.
Later, he was sure that he heard the sound of a car coming in from outside. He knew that it was Li Jianglin who had returned, so he couldn't help but jumped off the sofa and ran towards the door.
Li Jianglin was not a gentle and loving father, but in Li Zhenruo's heart, Li Jianglin could be considered a qualified father. Because he didn't have a mother, Li Zhenruo was very attached to Li Jianglin when he was a child. Until now, his best memory is that once when he went out with Li Jianglin and fell outside, Li Jianglin picked him up and walked slowly home.
Unfortunately, this kind of memory is very rare. Most of the time, Li Jianglin is just a strict father who treats all children equally, does not particularly favor any one, and rarely shows warmth.
Now he is no longer Li Jianglin's son, but the relationship of so many years is not just gone. He still has some mother-child affection for Zhao Yuqiong, but he doesn't want to know who his biological father is .
Li Zhenruo thought that maybe he was still reluctant to give up the glory and power of the Li family, that's why he missed Li Jianglin, his unrelated father so much.
He walked to the door and stopped, and soon Li Zhenran and Li Zhen passed by him, and went out to wait for Li Jianglin.
Li Zhenruo saw two cars coming from the front door, one in front and one behind, and stopped beside the fountain. Li Zhentai got out of the car first, went to the back and opened the door, put his hand on the top of the door, and helped Li Jianglin get out of the car.
Li Jianglin is in his early sixties this year, but he doesn't look like an old man. He is tall and straight, his hair is only slightly gray, and his facial features are tough. He doesn't look like any of his three sons.
With a cane in his hand, he walked slowly and steadily.
Li Jianglin's right ankle was injured, which is not obvious when he walks slowly, but if he walks a little faster, he will look slightly limping. So after he was forty-five years old, he has been using a cane, and Li Zhenruo was once hit by him with a cane.
After Li Jianglin got out of the car, Zhu Kai got out of the car in front, still leading his golden retriever Er Huang.
Zhu Kai is tall and thin, wearing long jeans and a black short-sleeved shirt. His hair is a little long, dyed golden yellow and tied in a small braid behind his head. He doesn't look very good-looking, but his facial features are very similar to Zhu Yun, especially when he smiles, he looks like Zhu Yun in the wedding photo hanging on the stairs.
With the support of Li Zhentai, Li Jianglin walked towards this side, and Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi both went to meet him.
Li Zhenran said, "Dad."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Are you back? Is the journey going well?"
Li Jianglin nodded, glanced at Li Zhenzi, and walked towards the room.
But Zhu Kai first took off the dog's leash, and saw Erhuang running wildly in the yard, then smiled and waved to them.
When Li Jianglin entered the room, he noticed Li Zhenruo standing by the door.
Li Zhenruo was also looking up at him.
Li Zhentai quickly said: "This is Zhenran's cat, called Tuanzi."
Li Jianglin said "Hmm" and walked inside without saying anything.
Having just arrived home, Li Jianglin was not in a hurry to go back to the room after experiencing the fatigue of the journey, but sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.
Wang Ma brought Li Jianglin tea with her nanny, and wiped his face with a warm towel.
After working so hard in the Li family for so many years, Li Jianglin said politely when he saw Wang Ma, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Ma said: "What's the hard work, sit down for a while, and dinner will be served soon. They are all dishes that you and Xiaokai like to eat."
Li Zhenruo had been standing by the door and did not follow. He saw Li Jianglin and his three brothers all sat down on the sofa.
Li Jianglin slowly wiped his face with a towel and then his hands, then took a sip of tea from his teacup, raised his head and asked Li Zhentai, "Where's Xiaochun?"
Li Zhentai responded: "Wen Chun has an important meeting today, and she said that she will come over after the meeting is over, and we will have dinner together in the evening."
Li Jianglin nodded.
Li Zhen asked herself, "Dad, your health looks much better."
Li Jianglin said: "The air over there is better, and people feel comfortable after staying for a long time."
Li Zhenruo was listening to them intently, when he suddenly felt something pressing heavily on his tail, he was startled, jumped up suddenly and howled.
Everyone in the room was attracted by him.
Li Zhenruo turned around, only to realize that it was Zhu Kai who walked behind him unconsciously and stepped on his tail.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhu Kai quickly raised his hand and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know why there is an extra cat at home?"
Li Zhenruo was hurt by being stepped on, a little angry and aggrieved, he felt that Zhu Kai probably did it on purpose, because he is such a character who is afraid of chaos in the world. However, at this time Li Jianglin was present, and he couldn't jump up and scratch Zhu Kai's face, so he could only stare at him fiercely, and wrapped his tail around his body to hug and lick him.
Li Zhenran said at this time: "Tuanzi, come here."
Li Zhenruo was slightly taken aback, seeing Li Zhenran stretched out his hand towards him, although he hesitated, he ran towards him, jumped onto his lap and sat down.
Li Zhenran rubbed his tail gently.
Li Jianglin glanced at them and said nothing.
On the contrary, Zhu Kai swayed slowly behind the sofa, leaning his arms on the back of the sofa chair, and said to Li Zhenran, "Zhenran, your cat?"
Li Zhenran said "hmm".
Zhu Kai propped his face with one hand, looking very interested, "This cat is quite interesting, then listen to you."
Li Jianglin interrupted their conversation and asked Li Zhenran, "You just came back from Qijiang?"
While rubbing Li Zhenruo's tail, Li Zhenran replied, "Yes."
Li Jianglin said: "What's the situation, please tell me."
Zhu Kai heard that their conversation turned to a boring place, so he lost interest and went outside to play with his dog.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Chun finally came late, she apologized to Li Jianglin and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I really can't leave this afternoon, otherwise I will pick you up with Zhentai. "
Li Jianglin's attitude towards her was much gentler than those of his sons, he smiled and held her hand and said, "It's okay, work is important."
Now that Wen Chun has arrived, Wang Ma started to prepare dinner.
Li Jianglin was naturally sitting at the main seat, while the others were quite casual. But today Li Zhenran did not carry Li Zhenruo to the table, after all, it was too unruly.
However, Li Zhenruo's treatment is still much better than Erhuang's. At least he can stay in the dining room to eat, while Erhuang can only settle his dinner in the yard.
After sitting down, Zhu Kai complained: "How come cats can enter the house, but dogs can't?"
It was Li Jianglin's request that Erhuang not enter the house, and he told Zhu Kai that if he couldn't do it, he was not allowed to keep a dog.
Li Zhenruo got nervous when he heard this, fearing that they would chase him away, but Li Jianglin just said coldly to Zhu Kai: "If you are not convinced, go out with the bowl to accompany it!"
Zhu Kai bit his chopsticks and remained silent.
The whole family sat down to eat with Le Rongrong, the father was kind, the son was filial, and the brothers and friends were respectful, but no one seemed to remember that there was another Li Zhenruo in this family, and no one mentioned him from the beginning to the end.
Li Zhenruo chewed two pieces of cat food and found it hard to swallow. He was thinking that after a long time, he might gradually forget his existence.
After eating something, he felt that he lost his appetite, so he dragged his tail silently to Li Zhenran and sat down under the chair.
Li Zhenran had been eating dinner gracefully and slowly, but at this moment he secretly took off his slippers and touched Li Zhenruo's head with his bare feet.
Li Zhenruo hugged his feet, leaned up to nibble his toes lightly, and spit them out quickly, bah, what was he thinking
Li Jianglin drank some wine, his face turned slightly red, he put down his glass, and suddenly said to Wen Chun: "I called your father before I came back."
"Oh?" Wen Chun quickly put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile, "What did you say?"
Li Jianglin said: "Talking about your marriage with the boss, we decided to choose a good day next month to hold the wedding."
Li Zhenruo raised his head all of a sudden, but it was a pity that he shrank under the chair and couldn't see Wen Chun's expression.
It's just that his tone was still calm when he heard Wen Chun's words, and she said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Jianglin said: "Don't worry, I mentioned this to Zhentai last time when he came here, but it seems that he didn't take it seriously. I came back this time to help you with this matter." of."
Wen Chun didn't speak, she glanced at Li Zhentai, then lowered her head to take a sip of the soup.
