Chapter 110 A Strange Scene

The movement of the old man's hands froze for a moment, and then continued without giving any answer, as if he didn't hear it.

But Lan Xiaobao knew that he heard it.

Just now, he clearly saw the flashing look on the old man's face.

It seems a little... lonely.

"Grandpa Gardener?" Lan Xiaobao called again.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he squatted down by the flower bed, neither talking nor leaving.

"..."

The old man looked over: "Aren't you hungry?"

"Yes." Lan Xiaobao nodded, "But I want you to eat with me."

He was born to be good-looking, carved in powder and jade, such a obedient appearance made people's hearts melt when they saw it.

One big and one small, there was a stalemate for a while.

For the first time in his life, the old man made a compromise.

He put down the things in his hands, walked out of the flower bed, and then walked towards the sink in silence.

Lan Xiaobao watched, blinked, jumped off the flower bed, returned to the pavilion, and sat obediently.

The old man washed his hands and walked into the pavilion.

"Grandpa Gardener, do you want porridge or soy milk?" Lan Xiaobao asked.

The old man took the cup of soy milk and pushed the porridge in front of the child: "Eat."

"it is good."

Lan Xiaobao was no longer polite.

He had to find a way to find Uncle Li, but he couldn't if he didn't have the strength.

The little guy is not slow to eat, but his movements are very elegant. It seems that he has been well-bred.

Such a person suddenly appeared in the Li residence, and even broke into the backyard of the main building...

"Why are you here?" the old man asked.

Lan Xiaobao swallowed the food in his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "I was caught by a bad guy."

"Bad guy?" The old man was slightly surprised, "Why did he arrest you?"

"I don't know." Lan Xiaobao shook his head, "Dinner yesterday, they poisoned me, and it took me a lot of effort to escape."

The old man was silent, and then gave the person behind him a look.

After eating, Lan Xiaobao leaned on the pillar in the pavilion contentedly.

"Want to go out?" the old man asked suddenly.

"Can I go out?" Lan Xiaobao looked over with bright eyes, "That person must be looking for me everywhere. If I am caught by him again, I will definitely die a miserable death. I see no one here, can you let me go?" Shall I hide first?"

He was willing to be caught, but his goal has not been achieved, how could he just go out like this?
Wouldn't this crime be in vain?
No way, no way, I can't just leave here!
The little guy looks like a doll, a pair of big eyes are clear and bright, blinking, long eyelashes are curled up, fluttering and twinkling, cute and cute.

Even if the heart is as hard as an old man, at this moment, it is inevitable that he will have a heart of compassion.

"If you like it, then stay."

"Is it really possible?" Lan Xiaobao smiled happily, "Thank you, Grandpa Gardener."

After a short rest, the old man returned to the flower bed, and after removing the grass, he began to trim the flowers and plants.

Lan Xiaobao, on the other hand, was talking one after another, and at the same time, his little mind was running fast, thinking about how to avoid causing trouble to Uncle Li, and at the same time see each other.

As for those rumors, at present, he just treats them as rumors.

He won't convict until he proves it himself.

In the eyes of others, this seemingly unharmonious but unexpectedly harmonious scene lasted until noon.

The sun is very strong, but in this season, it doesn't make people feel hot, but rather warm.

"Fifth Young Master is coming this way." Yan Zhang, who had been acting as a transparent person, suddenly said.

Lan Xiaobao, who was wandering in his mind, immediately came back to his senses, stunned for a while, and murmured: "Should I hide?"

"Is he the one who wants to arrest you?" the old man asked.

Lan Xiaobao lowered his head: "I don't know."

Old man: "Don't hide."

Then he ordered Yan Zhang: "Let him in."

It was only then that Lan Xiaobao realized that something was wrong, his face was pale, but he began to doubt the identity of the old man in his heart.

He was dressed plainly and did not look like a rich man.

I have been working all morning, and there are people around me who can call me.

If you are a person of status, why do you have to take care of these flowers and plants yourself?

But if he had no identity, how could he be able to command others and stop Uncle Li?
There were thousands of guesses in his little head, and in the end it seemed that they all came together in one place.

But... will it really be like this?

If not, who is this person?

If so, why is it so different from the rumors?

He has always been talented and intelligent, calm and calm in situations, but at this moment, he has tied the knot and can't figure it out.

When Li Xuyao ​​came in, Lan Xiaobao was pouring tea for Old Li.

The benevolence on the old man's face was something he had never seen before.

And the little guy beside him had a smile on top of his innocent and pleasant face.

The scene in front of him, respecting the old and caring for the young, making Li Xuyao ​​feel like he was hallucinating.

When did Old Li ever have such a side? He was so unfamiliar that he forgot to react, and just stood there without saying a word.

"What's the matter with you here?" Old Li said first.

His expression was completely different from when he was facing Lan Xiaobao.

Harsh and cold.

Yes, this kind of him is him.

Li Xuyao ​​sneered inwardly.

"I came here by chance, and when I heard my father was there, I came in to say hello."

He had no expression on his face, and said words of concern, but he didn't distract himself at all.

How could Old Li fail to see that none of his words were true.

"Since you're here to say hello, why don't you say a word when you come in, is it because I'm greeting you first?"

Li Xuyao: "I didn't expect father to have guests here..."

"Is there a guest that prevents you from greeting?"

"..."

Listening to the back and forth between the father and son, Lan Xiaobao felt that his head was a bit big.

As soon as they opened their mouths, they were full of swords and swords, and they were all stubborn, and they said little.

"If nothing happens, I'll go back first." Li Xuyao ​​said.

Old Li: "Why are you walking so fast?"

Li Xuyao: "..."

Old Li: "You don't speak, and rush to reincarnate?"

"I would like to." Li Xuyao ​​met those sharp eyes indifferently, "Unfortunately, there is no chance."

These words stabbed Li Lao's spine invisibly, and his anger came up immediately.

"I'm hungry……"

Just when he was about to get someone to bring a whip, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Turning his head, it turned out that the little guy sitting next to him stood beside him at some point, pulling his sleeves, his bright and watery eyes filled with anticipation.

The rising anger, like a balloon being deflated, softened.

After a long silence, he ordered: "Prepare lunch."

Yan Zhang's mood could no longer be described as shock.

You must know that every time the head of the family conflicts with the fifth young master, no one can persuade them.

As a result, the Fifth Young Master left with injuries all over his body.

But what is the situation now?
The tense atmosphere was resolved just because of a soft "I'm hungry"?
Who the hell is this little guy who would be treated so specially by Mr. Li?

"Let's go." Li Lao looked at Lan Xiaobao.

Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were much softer than when he looked at Li Xuyao.

"it is good."

Lan Xiaobao came out of the pavilion, and for some reason, suddenly went over and grabbed Li Xuyao, and looked at the old man in front of him: "Grandpa Gardener, let this uncle come with you, okay?"

Li Xuyao: "..."

He said he didn't want to.

Old Li: "..."

His eyes fell on Li Xuyao, and after a while, he said coldly: "Anything you want."

"Uncle, let's go have dinner together." With everyone behind his back, Lan Xiaobao winked at Li Xuyao, then strode forward and took Li Lao's hand.

Old Li obviously froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal, but he didn't shake off.

Lan Xiaobao secretly evoked a triumphant smile.

When we arrived at the dining room of the main building, the tables were already filled with sumptuous meals.

Three people are seated.

Lan Xiaobao didn't follow the rules and sat aside, but moved the chair by himself and sat beside Li Lao.

During the banquet, he could only hear his voice from time to time——

"Eat more vegetables to keep your health healthy, Grandpa Gardener, don't be picky eaters~"

"The ribs are delicious, Grandpa Gardener, Uncle, eat quickly."

"This shrimp is also delicious..."

"..."

Discourses like this continued until the end of the lunch.

And Mr. Li, who has always been a partial eclipse, unexpectedly tried a lot of dishes that he would not eat on weekdays.

"I'm going back first." Li Xuyao ​​said coldly.

"Wait." Old Man Li called to stop him.

"What advice does father have?" Li Xuyao ​​asked.

"I have something to do in the afternoon, you take this child with you first." Old Li said.

Lan Xiaobao: "..."

Li Xuyao: "..."

"What's that expression on your face?" Old Li asked dissatisfied, "Not happy?"

Li Xuyao ​​was silent for a while: "...Why?"

Old Li glanced at the little guy with a blank face beside him: "He said someone caught him in this Li house, and he ran out. I see that he likes you quite a bit, so it must be that person is not you. If that's the case, then You take it first."

"..." Li Xuyao ​​said, "I don't know how to take care of children."

Seeing his refusal, Old Li became furious: "You can't, and neither can He Ying?!"

Li Xuyao: "How do I know if she will?"

"..." Mr. Li was confused by his tone, so he said harsh words directly, "I don't care if you know it or not, if I leave it to you, I will see a good person!"

"Uncle, do you dislike Xiaobao very much? I will be obedient, and I will not bother you, nor will I bother you." Lan Xiaobao's face was full of pearls, "Don't you dislike me, okay?"

The tears fell as soon as they were said, making the corners of Li Xuyao's mouth twitch slightly.

In the eyes of Li Lao, this scene is a pitiful little guy with a rock-like heart.

"He doesn't dare to do anything to you." He said a comforting word that didn't seem like comfort.

Li Xuyao: "..."

"Uncle..." Lan Xiaobao took the initiative to step forward, grabbed Li Xuyao ​​by the corner of his clothes, and looked at him pitifully.

"Okay, you guys go." Li Lao waved his hand.

Li Xuyao: "..."

So, being forced to take care of the child, he said with extreme reluctance: "Follow up by yourself."

Poor attitude and blunt tone.

"Grandpa Gardener, can I still come and play with you?" Lan Xiaobao blinked his big eyes and looked back at the old man.

Old Li: "... yes."

"it is good."

After getting a satisfactory answer, he caught up with the figure striding away in front of him contentedly.

After one big and one small walked away, Old Li asked indifferently: "How did the investigation go?"

Yan Zhang: "This kid's name is Lan Xiaobao, and the third young master accidentally found out that he looks a bit like the fifth young master, so he kidnapped him. He wanted to use this to deal with the fifth young master.

"During the dinner last night, on the way to take him to the dinner party, he suddenly became poisoned and was taken back. Before dawn today, he ran away from the third young master. The third young master's people are indeed looking for him now."

The information from these investigations showed that the little guy did not lie, and the hostility in Old Li's heart disappeared a lot.

"Is it true that Lao Wu hasn't had a woman around him all these years?"

"I've checked this matter over and over again. The fifth young master has never had any women around him. Even the special assistants of the Asian company are all men. The fourth young master has a lot of gossip, and there are no fewer women around him."

As Yan Zhang said, he suddenly stopped: "Patriarch, do you suspect... that child is indeed related to Fifth Young Master?"

"Yan Zhang, you met me when Lao Wu was young." Li Lao murmured, "In the garden, when we first met, I thought it was my eyesight. How could there be such a similar person in the world? He Not only like Lao Wu, but also like her.

"When she was young, she also liked to laugh so much, just like the sun in the sky, very warm. The biggest difference between him and Lao Wu is that when Lao Wu was young, the whole person was gloomy, but he was warm, like It’s a little sun that shines on those around you.”

Yan Zhang carefully recalled Li Xuyao's appearance when he was a child, but he didn't think about it, but when he compared the appearance of the two in his mind, it seemed that they were indeed very similar.

"Patriarch, do you need to do a paternity test for the two?"

"Let's do it." Li Lao said, "It's fine to come in secret, don't alarm the fifth."

Yan Zhang: "I know."

"Today I have been thinking, if I hadn't been so extreme when I was young, would the fifth child be as cheerful as this kid?" Old Li muttered to himself, "Did I really treat him too badly?"

"Patriarch, everything you do is to wish the fifth young master well, and he will understand one day." Yan Zhang comforted.

"No." Li Lao Youyou said, "He hates me, hates me for harming her..."

Yan Zhang didn't try to persuade him anymore, and he couldn't persuade him.

That matter was a dead end.

"Yan Zhang, do you think I have been alone for too long, and I am greedy for someone to be by my side. From time to time, there are a few soft words in my ear, even if it is boring nonsense, it is heart-warming."

Old Li smiled wryly: "But for a person like me, would anyone be willing? After that child knows who I am, will he still speak innocent words in front of me like today? I don't think so. ..."

"That's all..." Old Li stood up and walked towards the study, "Third brother, watch and warn him not to go too far."

Yan Zhang looked at the back of the old man, it seemed that he had always walked alone all these years.
