Chapter 9: Choices for Identity
After a moment of silence, the old man continued:
"You also know that at my age, there won't be many good days left, I know what you need and what you want most right now. Besides, at my age, I never thought about getting any love from you, it was too unrealistic. ”
Seeing that Li Manrui didn't speak, the old man continued: "If you are willing, willing to sacrifice your youth and accompany me through these last few years, I can not only solve your identity problem, but also find a lawyer to make a will, so that you will be the sole heir of all my property!"
He didn't want to persecute this beautiful woman, watching her turn from bright to haggard like a flower, he couldn't bear it, but he also had to protect his own interests. What he didn't tell Li Manrui was that the end of this marriage must be decided by him! There are many Chinese women who marry foreigners for the sake of their identity, and there are even more people who apply for divorce after taking their status, and he has to be on guard.
Although the old man is over 70 years old, his vision is still very sharp and unique, Li Manrui is not only beautiful, but also has good English, brains and wisdom, so that she willingly accompany him, she will definitely not refuse immediately like those brainless women, let alone agree immediately.
The old man told Li Manrui more than once, you are not suitable to work here, with your excellence, your ability, you should live the life of your dreams, he has sown the seeds of such Yu Nian, just wait for Li Manrui to figure it out, make her own choice!
Although Li Manrui is anxious to get out of the predicament, she has not lost her mind, such an opportunity is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is not impossible for foreigners to be richer and more attractive, but she is now living in such a circle, surrounded by those half-aged who still think they are very coquettish, that is, some third-rate guests, and the opportunity to meet a good man can be said to be as difficult as the sky.
How many people who are smuggled or illegally present in the United States are trying to adjust their status by any means. There are fake marriages, there are those who join the church, and some who do not hesitate to slander their motherland with their conscience for the sake of their identity, compared to those people, she Li Manrui is nothing if she just loses her youth!
Li Manrui considered the conditions that the old man said, instead of being pushed to the edge of the fire pit by the owner of the massage parlor again and again, and being secretly scolded by the women around her, it is better to jump herself, this fire pit looks bigger, the average life expectancy of foreigners is long, and the price she needs to pay may be more than a few years of youth? But isn't this the easiest road she can take at present?
After getting married and applying for status, as long as you are not greedy and give up the so-called inheritance right, it should not be difficult to apply for divorce again! Thinking of this, Li Manrui finally said softly:
"Thank you so much for giving me a direction to choose when I was struggling, but I need to think about it for a while, can I give me two weeks to figure it out?"
"Of course, call me when you make a decision, you have my customer information!" After the old man left, he really didn't come to urge and disturb him for two weeks, and he didn't even come to do the scheduled service. At first, the women in the store talked in private, saying that Li Manrui must have offended the old Italian man, and look, they haven't come for two weeks.
Li Manrui remembers that when she resigned from the massage parlor and told those people that she wanted to marry this old Italian man in his 70s, she shocked all the women in the shop, and even the owner of the massage parlor dropped her jaw. That year, Li Manrui had just arrived in the United States for more than half a year, and she had just turned 32 years old, and she was different from all the women in the store.
Li Manrui has a beautiful face, a tall figure, and a good education. Everyone knew that she couldn't do it for long, but no one thought that she would leave in such a way! So after so many years, the story of her marrying an old man in her 70s is still circulating among Chinese women who want to make a difference!
。。。。。。。
Lin Zitan's spirit was highly tense and very tired for the past two days, and after thinking about it again, he understood that he was no longer able to struggle too much in the face of this series of great changes, so he thought that he would be at peace when he came, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, he quickly fell asleep.
Li Manrui quietly opened the door and went into the ward, and found that her son was sleeping, so she didn't dare to disturb, so she put things on the table and walked out alone. Therefore, when Lin Zitan woke up hungry, he thought that Li Manrui had bought something but had not come back at this time, and he was going to turn over and continue to sleep, but he vaguely seemed to smell the smell of food.
Lin Zitan slowly got up and swept to the bedside table, where a pile of food was placed on the table. The meat bun brought back by Li Manrui must have been cold, so the fragrance was not as strong as it was at the beginning, but the cold skin had not yet been mixed with seasonings, Lin Zitan reached out and picked it up, carefully poured the soy sauce bag and sesame oil bag into it, and when he saw the red chili oil, he couldn't help but wash his mouth.
I can't eat spicy food myself, but this little guy seems to be very spicy. So, Lin Zitan tried to eat the spiciest meal of cold skin in his life for the first time, and it was really cool, but he was also spicy and sweaty, and he poured several mouthfuls of water before feeling better!
"You're up~" Lin Zitan, who was hissing and sighing so spicy, suddenly heard Li Manrui's soft and gentle voice, and raised his head suddenly.
"Uh, you haven't left yet?" Although Lin Zitan tried to restrain himself, he didn't know why, but he still felt a little impatient when he said it.
"Oh, I just went to the neighborhood and bought you a cell phone, and when the police found you, there was nothing but the capsized yacht. Besides, if it weren't for Mike's yacht being recorded, your mother wouldn't have known if something really happened! Don't be so willful next time, do you hear?" Li Manrui couldn't help but nag again when she thought that he was almost in trouble.
When Lin Zitan heard that Li Manrui bought him a new mobile phone, he automatically ignored her next nagging, and his eyes swept directly to the bag in her hand, but his face still showed his usual impatience and indifference.
"Did you hear me?" asked Li Manrui again.
"I heard it, I heard it, I know nagging all day long, are you annoyed!" didn't see what he wanted, Lin Zitan pulled the quilt and lay back on the bed, and turned over and left a back for Li Manrui.
"You said that you kid, how can you toss like this!" Li Manrui added reluctantly.
"Aren't you leaving, hurry up!" replied to Lin Zi in a huff.
"Alas! I really owe you in my last life, then I'll go~ I'll come to see you tomorrow!" Li Manrui took out the mobile phone in his bag and put the Sim card on it to help him reissue.
Li Manrui sighed helplessly, she really didn't know how to communicate with this son, although the child was eight or nine years old when she left him, but she was absent in his growth process, and her guilt made her always dare not criticize her too harshly, but Li Manrui's love for this son is still very deep, but now it is a love-hate relationship.
She opened the door of the ward and was about to go out, but before leaving, the hand that closed the door suddenly paused, and then turned back to Lin Zitan and said, "Please stop a little, my mother is pregnant now!" After speaking, without waiting for Lin Zitan to respond, she fled and left.
