Chapter 122
"The past, if you can't remember it, you can't remember it. I just remembered it by accident, and I mentioned it casually." Li Lao said indifferently, "Have you found anything after spending time with that kid?"
Li Xuyao felt that Mrs. Li was strange at the moment.
Seemingly homely words, but every word and every sentence is like digging a big hole, when people relax their vigilance, they fall into it unconsciously.
He must muster the spirit of twelve to deal with it.
Concentrated, he asked strangely: "Which aspect is father referring to?" "
Old Li raised his eyelids and looked over: "What aspects do you know?"
"Please forgive my son for being stupid. He is not good at dealing with children. If the father has anything to say or ask, he can speak up. If I know, I will know everything and say everything. I will never There is a half-hearted desire to hide."
Li Xuyao's attitude was sincere, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Old five, these years, I let you go alone in Asia, gave you freedom, and you have given me a satisfactory answer. Someone once said that a person's ambition will grow with what he has. Change, I used to think that you...wouldn't be such a person. But now I realize that I was wrong and believed in you wrongly. "
Old Li's voice, following his words, kept getting colder, more majestic, and more aggressive.
Even though he had been dormant for many years, Li Xuyao still felt a little overwhelmed in front of him who was furious.
Even so, there was no sign of shrinking back, and he just carried it hard.
Just like when I was a child, I will only face difficulties and never retreat.
Old Li squinted his eyes slightly, restrained himself a little, and then said flatly: "You are still like this. After all these years, your temperament has not changed at all. You are not like me, but you are somewhat like him."
Li Xuyao lowered his head slightly, and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
He didn't make a sound, just listened silently.
"Old Fifth, sometimes when I see you, I will suspect that he is back. You are like him when he was young, and that kid is very much like you when you were young..."
Li Xuyao's heart trembled suddenly.
He didn't know who the "he" mentioned earlier was, and he didn't want to ask, but the "that kid" in the back was obviously talking about the little guy.
Could it be that he was a step too late, did Mr. Li already discover the relationship between Xiaobao and him?
Where is that little guy now?
Thinking of what he might have to endure, the hands under the table couldn't help but clenched into fists.
There was another voice in his heart telling him that he should not be chaotic at this time, but calm down.
The situation is bad enough, if you don't calm down, it will get worse.
"Father—! What are you talking about? Who am I like? Who is like me?" Li Xuyao gritted his teeth. If you have anything to say, please tell me directly, don't let me guess. I'm stupid, I can't guess. If one is not careful, guesses the wrong meaning of father, and misunderstands you, wouldn't it be an unreasonable addition? suspicion."
Old Li glanced at the teacup in front of him, it was almost cold, and he didn't move at all.
"I remember, you love to drink this tea, why don't you drink it today? Is it because you are worried about it and don't want to drink it?"
"..."
Old man Li is too powerful, he can always draw people's hearts with a single sentence.
With a clever mind, with extraordinary insight into people's hearts, and even more ruthless...
Can use, use everything, only to achieve their own goals.
Such an enemy is undoubtedly terrifying, terrifying, and even more shocking.
If he wanted to deal with a person sincerely, he might gnaw that person down to the bone.
No wonder... that person was never an opponent.
He picked up the teacup in front of him, and said as if to explain: "I don't like to drink too hot."
"Father and son, it seems that it's been a long time since we sat down, drank tea, and chatted." After speaking, Mr. Li looked outside, "Today's weather is not suitable for doing anything else, so we just sit by the floor-to-ceiling window It’s a good experience to watch the storm fall and sip the fragrant hot tea.”
In this conversation, he never mentioned Xiaobao from the beginning.
Such a reaction made Li Xuyao even more uneasy.
Where should he be at this moment?What are you doing again?
Li Xuyao was anxious, but he didn't dare to ask.
I was afraid that his question would show his concern, and let Lao Lao realize that he was harming Xiaobao.
Now others are trapped here, unable to go anywhere, and unable to do anything.
"Boom—long—long—"
The fierce thunder came suddenly without any greeting, shaking Li Xuyao's heart.
"Father, why isn't Steward Yan by your side at this time?"
He looked outside, his face was cold, and he seemed to be asking casually.
Old Li: "I told him a little thing, and he should be back soon."
"..."
At this moment, Li Xuyao's heart was up and down, unable to calm down.
In the end, I couldn't help asking: "Is that little guy going to live with his father today? If so, I'll ask He Ying to send over his frequently used things. If the rainstorm comes later, I'm afraid I won't be able to send them if I want to." Can't deliver."
"No need." Li Lao was indifferent and didn't say much.
Now that he has said this, Li Xuyao has no intention of stopping. He said: "These days, the little guy gets along very well with He Ying. He Ying said that he was afraid of thunder and worried that he would not be able to sleep well at night, so he specially asked me to come here." Take a look. Father, is that guy asleep now? I'll take a look and make sure it's all right, so I can tell He Ying when I go back."
"I can't tell, but your relationship is good." Old Li thought thoughtfully, "I remember, you resisted the existence of such a fiancée at the beginning, right?"
Li Xuyao: "Since it is the person chosen by my father, even if I don't like it, I should treat him with courtesy. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful to my father?"
"But she was still entangled with your brother before, such a woman spoils the family tradition, but she treats her well." Old Li's voice was slightly cold.
"Yes. I know, I know it well." Li Xuyao said.
Old Li: "If you're not satisfied, just get another one."
Li Xuyao: "Humans are not sages, and no one has made mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. Since she has sincerely repented, it is not impossible to give her another chance. If she still can't bear the loneliness, she will do some other embarrassing things. At that time, even if my father doesn't tell me, I will take the initiative to abandon her."
He acted like a businessman, without the slightest selfishness, which made Mr. Li very satisfied.
"You're good to know."
After this interruption, Li Xuyao's original plan fell through.
The heavy rain came, rushing, splashing like a basin, very frightening.
The uneasiness in Li Xuyao's heart was magnified without risk, and he clenched his fists.
"father--"
"Patriarch..." Yan Zhang strode in, blocking Li Xuyao's words.
When he saw Li Xuyao sitting aside, the excitement on his face was hidden, and he became calm in an instant.
"Let's talk." Li Lao didn't mind Li Xuyao's presence, nor did he mind letting him listen.
Yan Zhang: "That little guy is very talented, he can learn everything quickly, and he is also very courageous. He is a rare and malleable talent."
"Oh...?" Old Li glanced at Li Xuyao, "Bring him in."
Yan Zhang didn't hesitate.
Li Xuyao sat upright, but his palms were sweating a lot.
He was afraid to see a little guy with injuries all over his body.
Not long after, behind Yan Zhang, followed by a child who looked like a clay figurine.
The whole body was dirty, and there was a lot of blood, I don't know if it was his or someone else's.
He didn't dare to look any further, he looked away and gritted his teeth tightly.
At that moment just now, his mind quickly flashed through, with the thought of escaping with him.
This throbbing was quickly suppressed.
Because in this Li mansion, there are all Li Lao people, and it is impossible for them to escape.
"Fifth, when you see him, do you have the feeling of seeing your younger self?" Old Li's eyes wandered between the big and the small.
Such instructive words have been heard from Old Li more than once today.
As expected, he should already know that the little guy is his son, and he was just testing him in different ways.
Whether it was an accident or intentional.
"Father, what are you doing?" Li Xuyao pretended not to understand, "What did this child do wrong and was punished?"
"It's not punishment, it's training." Li Lao said, "Training like you did when you were young, but his talent is better than yours, and maybe his future achievements will be higher than yours."
"But this is someone else's child. If you don't let him go for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Li Xuyao said, "Looking at his temperament, conversation, and clothes are not bad, even top-notch, he looks like a family member. How can such a person keep his house all the time? His parents will come to the door sooner or later. Even if we control the economic lifeline of Europe, we can't let such a thing break out, right? Is it equivalent to giving the handle to someone else?"
He behaved calmly and rationally, as if weighing the value of a commodity.
"Who said he belonged to someone else?" Old Li smiled lightly, "Fifth, you are really smart all your life, and you were confused for a while. Look at his appearance, it looks like he was carved out of the same mold as yours when you were a child. Don't you really have any doubts? The world is so big, and the third child wants to threaten you, so it's not without reason that he chose him. You may never have thought about it yourself, but outsiders can see it clearly.
"Otherwise, do you think that the third child is stupid? If you take one of you back casually, you can have the effect he wants. Anyone who has seen you when you were a child, and sees him again, will be puzzled by this. The old man Five, this is not someone else's family, but our Li family's, and your own son. So your worries will not cause any problems, but our Li family has found the young master who has been lost for many years. In this matter In fact, your third brother has contributed a lot."
Lan Xiaobao was dumbfounded. He was covered in mud and looked dumb. This was the reaction that a child should have.
Old Li said that he was Uncle Li's own son, the young master of the Li family who had been separated for many years...?
Li Xuyao's expression was first shocked, then stunned, and then unbelievable.
"It's impossible! How could I not know if I might have a son? Father, you must have made a mistake. If you want to have a grandson, you can urge your elder brother. He is married, so it shouldn't be difficult. Can't any child be regarded as a member of our Li family?"
"Yan Zhang...!" Old Li didn't have any explanation.
Yan Zhang understood, and took out an identification report: "Fifth Young Master, this is the paternity test between you and Young Master, it is confirmed to be correct, you can take a look."
Li Xuyao took it tremblingly, and nervously read the final appraisal result.
As expected, he saw the expected answer, but pretended to be shocked.
"Okay, it's getting late today, you two go back first." Elder Li started to chase people away, "Someone will pick up Xiaobao early tomorrow morning."
Li Xuyao knew all too well what this meant, but at this moment he couldn't make any sound of resistance.
He glanced at Lan Xiaobao who looked like a little clay figurine, a flash of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, and then he walked out cruelly without saying anything.
On the other hand, Yan Zhang squatted down without disdain, and picked up Xiao Bao. When he reached the gate, he took the umbrella handed over by the bodyguard, opened it, and asked, "Can the young master hold it?"
Lan Xiaobao was stiff, not saying a word, nor could she see any emotion from that little face whose original skin color could no longer be seen.
Yan Zhang was not reluctant, he held him in one hand and held an umbrella in the other.
The rain was too heavy, and when he arrived at the small building where Li Xuyao lived, he was already drenched, as if he didn't have an umbrella, but Lan Xiaobao in his arms didn't get any rain.
He Ying ran out when he heard the noise.
Seeing Lan Xiaobao's appearance, he was startled, hurriedly brought him into the house, and said to Yan Zhang, "Steward Yan has worked hard."
Yan Zhang nodded, and said, "Take a hot bath for him, and then cook some ginger soup to drive away the cold. Someone will pick him up tomorrow morning. I hope he won't be seeing a sick young master."
There was pity in He Ying's eyes: "I will, thank you, Butler Yan, for reminding me."
After Yan Zhang left, He Ying picked up the silent little guy and went upstairs, directly into the bathroom in his room.
"Xiaobao, wait a moment, I'll go and change your clothes."
Lan Xiaobao didn't react, as if he was stupid.
When she finished looking for her clothes and went in again, Li Xuyao, who was not very good-looking, also appeared in the bathroom.
Seeing her go in, he said: "Put your clothes down, you go out first, I'll wash him."
He Ying: "OK."
The bathroom door was closed, blocking everything outside.
Only then did Li Xuyao squat down, and hugged the dumb little guy into his arms, his eyes were red.
After hugging quietly for a while, he said with a choked voice: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't protect you well, it's all my fault, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
