Chapter 120: Acquaintances
When Ji Ao heard her say this, he couldn't help but sneer a few words, and said with a smile: "Inheritance? Then you are the only one who has inherited it, except for you, I haven't seen other descendants of the Zhang family come in and 'read' books." ”
"Can you believe it? My dad was actually a very good reader, and he couldn't sleep without reading a book for a day, and several of my elders were like that. I remember when I was younger, I often saw them get together and talk about Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Contradiction and Zola, and I liked to read because I was influenced by them. After Zhang Li finished speaking, she could see that he was unimpressed with what she said.
Ji Ao tilted his head, remained silent, and looked at her steadily.
"Don't you believe it? Now there's a reason why they want to sell these books. He still didn't believe what she said, and she quickly explained.
Ji Ao stretched out his legs, pressed his hands on the cabinet between his legs, leaned forward, looked like he was not sitting, and said slowly: "What I know is that they buy a house, buy a car, go abroad, start a company......"
"You put so much effort into these books, you must be reluctant to sell them, right?" she asked, hearing some complaints about selling books in Ji Ao's words.
She didn't know how much Ji Ao knew about her family. He even knew all about the purpose of each family after selling books to get money.
Ji Ao waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression: "I am not reluctant at all! ”
"It's a disgraceful thing to sell my ancestor's collection, and my cousin Zhiyuan is also angry about it. She sat down across from him and sighed.
"Your cousin, the guy who came to you yesterday? hahaha...... I accidentally remembered that he called you "Meow Meow". Ji Ao couldn't help laughing again.
Seeing that he was about to die of laughter, Zhang Libai glanced at him and said, "Yes, he is very opposed to selling the blood of his ancestors for money. ”
"Then ask him to take care of the books in these buildings!" Ji Ao finally held back a laugh and eagerly suggested, it seems that he really wants to hand over this book building to someone else to take care of.
"Forget it. It is better to tell him to face those books all day than to call him to die. The genetic factors of the Zhang family are really genetic mutations when they arrive at him. ”
"What about you? You like books so much, how about leaving these books to you to take care of?" Ji Ao suddenly lowered his head, sighed, and looked at her from between his fingers and asked.
"How is it possible, there are so many elders, which is my turn to speak?"
Ji Ao smiled and looked at her thoughtfully.
"Anyway......" Zhang Li just wanted to say something more, she looked at her watch and suddenly stopped what she wanted to say, "Oh, it's almost six o'clock, if I don't leave, I will be discovered by my father and uncle, aren't you leaving?"
Ji Ao looked at her with a smile: "I'm leaving soon, I'll see you another day." ”
"See you another day!" Zhang Li said and left in a hurry.
She ...... Is it okay?" Ji Ao was still sitting there muttering to himself.
"What do you think of her? If she can't do that, there's nothing I can do......" He said to himself as if they understood what he was saying, as if they understood what he was saying.
"When will it take for the results?" Zhang Zhongsheng looked at them and roared loudly in annoyance.
He pointed at Zhang Zhongyu's nose and asked in a loud voice: "I'm not like you, everyone is rich and powerful, you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry! I am still waiting for this money to save my life! You said that you should go to the buyer, but what is happening now?"
"You also saw the accident yesterday! Who is to blame for this incident? What's the use of you being in a hurry?"
"I don't care so much anyway! Wait until the 10th, and if you can't get any more money, I'll divide the book. Give me the book I deserve and I'll take care of it myself. After he finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.
Zhang Li put down her chopsticks and heard a cousin next to her asking, "What's wrong with the fifth uncle?" ”
"You don't know yet, do you?" He is addicted to gambling, not only has he lost his factory, but he also owes a lot of debt, and now he wishes that a bunch of money would fall from the sky and smack him, and he is really waiting for this money to save his life!" Zhang Zhiyuan replied with his "Tiantong'er" and "big mouth".
The cousin snorted contemptuously and said, "Hmph... How could our Zhang family have such a loser!"
Zhang Li lowered her head and couldn't help but smile bitterly—Isn't it true that they are losing their ancestors' hard work? The defeat is even more complete? She heard that her father and uncle had already begun to discuss fiercely: they discussed how they could find a buyer within a week, and if they couldn't find it, how would they divide the book? If they had to divide it, how should they divide it? Should they go to the notarization ......
Since the morning, the sky has been overcast, the air is full of dampness before the summer thunderstorm, and the library building is particularly dark and oppressive.
Zhang Li was holding a book in her hand, but she was not in the mood to read it at all, she said distraughtly: "Yesterday afternoon, my fifth uncle had a car accident, if it wasn't for a passing taxi driver who kindly took him to the hospital, I'm afraid he would have died." ”
"Oh, he's lucky. Ji Ao's expression was not schadenfreude, at least it would not sympathize with him.
“…… I'm getting scared...... Do you know? Recently, the merchants who have come to contact them to buy books have had a series of accidents, and my fifth uncle has just said that he wants to divide the books...... My cousin Zhiyuan said that it was the soul of the ancestors who punished these people who wanted to buy books and the descendants of the Zhang family who wanted to sell their books, and I never believed in ghosts and gods, but it was only half a month after my great-grandfather died...... There was a series of accidents...... You say the road is so wide, how can a good car drive under the bridge?"
"He's drinking, isn't he? drunk driving ......."
"He had dinner with us, no drinking!"
Either he was so distracted by his desire for money that the brakes failed, and a car rushed over him...... Traffic accidents happen a lot. Ji Ao casually helped her make a reassuring conclusion.
"What if...... Is Zhiyuan's guess true?So what should I do?" Girls are always timid and suspicious.
"My father has always been in favor of selling books, and if this continues, maybe one day it will be his turn...... It's horrible!" she shuddered.
Ji Ao looked at her solemnly, and said solemnly: "Impossible! Don't guess!"
"Don't be suspicious, how can there be such a thing as ghosts in the world, what age are you still believing in these strange things? We are all highly educated people, don't we know that demons and monsters do not exist at all? We should believe in science!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, shaking the window and striking, and lightning flashed in the sky.
Zhang Li was startled by the sudden thunder and screamed.
Ji Ao scratched his head, looked out the window and muttered: "I'm just telling a little lie, so I won't be struck by lightning......"
The thunder was like a signal of the coming storm, and the sky that had been cloudy for half an afternoon finally began to rain, and the already underlit library was now even darker. The rows of bookshelves and bookcases reflect the silhouette of the shadows, which seems more mysterious and dangerous.
It turned out that Zhang Li had three points of worry, but she was rendered into seven points by such an atmosphere, and she said in a panic: "But even the fifth uncle has an accident, how can you tell me not to worry about my father." ”
"Or ...... You go back and convince him not to sell these books so that he will be fine. Ji Ao stood in front of the window with his arms crossed, looking out of the window thoughtfully.
Zhang Li shook her head and said with a wry smile: "How is this possible? He needs this money to start his own company." ”
"Then it's useless for you to take extra heart. Ji Ao muttered, with a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this, Zhang Li's heart couldn't help sinking, and she suddenly looked at him, this was the first time she saw Ji Ao standing without standing and sitting without sitting in the past few days, standing straight with her arms crossed, like a silhouette in front of the dark window, suddenly thunder roared, and several flashes of light across the sky suddenly illuminated his side face...... Memories suddenly flashed in her mind, it was so familiar, as if she had seen such a scene somewhere, Zhang Li frowned, from the moment she saw Ji Ao, she felt familiar, what ......
She suddenly blurted out, "Have we met somewhere before?"
Ji Ao's eyes jumped—the second time, he had failed twice in casting a spell to erase his memory on Zhang Li.
"I always felt like I'd seen you before, but I can't remember. Zhang Li patted her head with her hand.
"How is that possible?" Ji Ao walked up to Zhang Li's side.
He pointed to his face and said unashamedly: "How can you forget a handsome, dashing, and temperamentally handsome guy like me, I have never been forgotten by a woman! Don't ruin my reputation." ”
Zhang Li couldn't believe that his cheeks could be so thick, but then again, if he had seen him before, he might have been fascinated by him, and it would be difficult to forget.
"Oh, I remembered!" Ji Ao suddenly exclaimed.
"That was the previous life, under the small bridge pier, on the bank of the willows, the wind and the waning moon, you held my hand affectionately......" He closed his eyes, his face intoxicated.
"Ah, at that time, your eyes were as gentle as water...... "He said and approached Zhang Li.
