Chapter 720: Lost and Returned, Late Apology
When Li Jian rode from his private house to the Li family's manor, Li Xiaotian was still sleeping, he slept very deeply, and his face was not wrinkled, a little thinner than when he saw him yesterday.
His eyes were deeply sunken, and his head of silver-white hair made him look older and older, and he walked in with a slow neck, and a pair of eagle-like eyes locked on Li Xiaotian.
His eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without a trace of ripples, as if the old man lying on the sickbed at the moment was not his biological father, but an irrelevant stranger.
"Big brother, ......?" An Xinni was guarding her filial piety in the house, and as soon as she saw Lijian coming in, she stood up from the sofa seat in a hurry, and she turned to look at Lijian, as if she was facing a great enemy.
"What's the matter, my brother and sister don't welcome me?" Li Jian frowned unhappily when he saw An Xinni's careful appearance of guarding him.
"How so. Anxin Ni hurriedly smiled politely, "This is the Li family's manor, and the eldest brother is also a member of this family, I don't welcome anyone, and I can't not welcome the eldest brother." ”
"What about Li Yan?" Li Jian didn't have time to listen to Anxinni's polite words, when he saw Anni for the first time, he was amazed by Anni's beauty, and in private, he was even darker than Anni.
But later, Li Wei lost to An Xiaoxian and died in prison, and now that he sees An Xinni again, he only has hatred left, and he doesn't like it.
"Sedum has something to do with him and goes to the study. Anxin Ni said truthfully.
"How is the old man doing today?How much time are you awake, or how much time are you asleep?" Li Jian stared at Li Xiaotian on the sickbed, and said something to ask about Li Xiaotian's illness, but there was no expression of concern on his face.
Anxinni was already surprised by Li Jian's hypocritical face, "It's similar to yesterday's situation, there are more times when I'm asleep than when I'm awake." ”
Li Jian walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, "Brother and sister, can you go out for a while first, I want to be alone with the old man for a while." ”
"This ......," Anxin Ni looked embarrassed.
She came to Li Xiaotian's ward to guard, the purpose was not to let Li Jian and Li Lesheng's father come to be alone with Li Xiaotian, Li Lesheng died suddenly in prison this morning, she was worried that Li Jian would have ulterior motives to make a fuss about Li Lesheng's death.
"Brother and sister, I know what you're worried about. "On the ground, Li Jian turned his head and stared at Anxinni's beautiful eyes, "The old man's life is running out, I just want to be alone with him for a while, I won't treat him like this, if you don't worry, you can guard the door." ”
Li Jian said that to this point, Anxinni couldn't insist anymore, so she said, "Then I'll be at the door, if the eldest brother needs help, just call me." ”
"Hmm. Li Jian nodded his head, turned his head, and his gaze returned to Li Xiaotian's face, he was very quiet, listening to Anxinni's footsteps walking out of the room, without saying a word.
"Ahem...... "Ahem" Anxinni just walked out of the room for a while, Li Xiaotian woke up, he coughed twice, and then slowly opened his eyes, when his eyes first opened, the surrounding scene was foggy.
He couldn't see it clearly, only vaguely saw a person sitting in front of the bed, his figure looked a little fat, and as his vision gradually turned clear, Li Xiaotian finally saw Li Jian's face clearly.
"Jian'er ......" Li Xiaotian heard a hoarse voice coming from his mouth, shouting a name that he hadn't called for decades, and Li Jian's eyes flashed movingly when he heard the sound.
This is his milk name, when he was a child, Li Xiaotian often called him this, but later, as he grew older, and the birth of his siblings and descendants one by one, Li Xiaotian called him Jian'er less and less often.
"You ......" Li Xiaotian stared at the sword in disbelief, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so old." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the belly of the sword.
"Even the beer belly is so much smaller. ”
When Li Jian heard this, he pouted slightly, "Old man...... You...... Is this a concern for me?"
"What kind of expression do you have?" Li Xiaotian glanced at Li Jian in displeasure, "Lao Tzu cares about his son, shouldn't he?"
"Old man, I'm ......" Li Jian wanted to speak and stopped, and in the next moment, he was cut off by Li Xiaotian, who looked a little lonely, "Old man, you don't even want to call me dad now?"
"I ......" Without waiting for Li Jian to explain, Li Xiaotian chased after him again and asked, "Still hate me for Weiwei's girl, think I prefer Xiaoxian more than her?"
"......" In front of the bed, Li Jian pursed his lips and was silent, and Li Xiaotian said again, "I think that the love I have given to your father and daughter over the years is no less than that of Li Yan's little fairy father and daughter. ”
Li Jian buried his head and didn't speak, Li Xiaotian paused, and said, "How did Sedum's father die back then, I don't have no numbers in my heart. When Li Jian heard this, he raised his eyes to look at him, his expression slightly surprised.
"Jian'er, let me tell you the truth, in the second year after Sedum's death, I found evidence that you set a trap to kill your second brother and your second brother's daughter-in-law. As soon as he heard this, the shocked expression on Li Jian's face instantly became even worse.
He didn't expect Li Xiaotian to grasp the evidence that he was still Li Jingtian's parents so early, he thought that what he had done was seamless, and all those who might stand up and testify against him were killed by him.
"Then you ......" Li Jian's eyes were blazing, but the question that had reached his throat stopped abruptly, he couldn't ask, he didn't dare to ask, he was afraid that this was a trap, and Li Xiaotian deliberately said this to trap him.
Once he confessed the fact that he killed Li Xiaotian's parents in disguise after he had the evidence and why he didn't give it to the police and why he didn't let him pay for Sedum's parents, and then Li Xiaotian used it as evidence and handed it over to the police.
No, after he stared at Li Xiaotian with bright eyes for a long time, Li Xiaotian was like a roundworm in his stomach, knowing what he was thinking at this moment.
And spoke up to explain his confusion, "Because, Dad has already lost your second brother and lost a son at that time, and Dad doesn't want to and can't lose your son again! This is the reason why I destroyed that evidence and never exposed you!"
The sword was stunned.
There were tears in his eyes.
Silent.
There was a silence that was worse than death.
Li Jian never dreamed that Li Xiaotian would love him so much, he thought that Li Xiaotian only loved Li Yan and Sedum's father, and for a long time in the past, he felt that he was superfluous in this family.
When he was young, Li Yan lived freely every day, doing whatever he wanted, even if he got into trouble outside, Li Xiaotian would not blame him too harshly.
And what about him?
Even if he did a small thing wrong, Li Xiaotian would criticize him very harshly, he lived every day like walking on thin ice, he knew that his talent was not as good as Li Yan and Li Jingtian.
He is the type of hard work who can make up for his clumsiness, when he was young, everything he had, and every achievement he obtained, had to be compared to Li Yan's father Li Jingtian, and he had to work n+1 times harder.
He always thought that Li Xiaotian didn't hurt him, so he desperately tried his best, desperately, and unscrupulously shot with Li Yan and Li Sedum's father.
Because, he always felt that only after he became the last outstanding heir by Li Xiaotian's side, Li Xiaotian would have to pay attention to him!
Indeed, when Li Yan fell into the sea in an accident and disappeared, and when Li Jingtian's parents died in a car accident, Li Xiaotian did hand over most of the power to him.
It's a pity.
Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.
It's yours, and no one can take it away.
It's not yours, and even if you have it, you will lose it!
"Dad......" Li Jian sniffed hard, he finally began to call Li Xiaotian's father, Li Xiaotian heard this, and smiled happily, "Huh!"
"I ......" Li Jian saw Li Xiaotian smiling so happily, for a while, he didn't know what to say, "After lying on the bed for so long, you must be very tired now, can I help you get up and sit down?"
"Good. Li Xiaotian responded with a smile again, and Li Jian got up to support him, this harmonious picture, in a trance, actually made Li Xiaotian and Li Jian feel as if they had returned to the past, back to when Li Jian was only a few years old.
At that time, every day, they lived as warm and happy as now, at that time, the atmosphere that lingered at home, every day was very harmonious, if they could.
Both of them, father and son, hope that they can turn back time and return to the kindest and best times of people's hearts, and then never again, so that maybe, the ending of many people in their Li family will be rewritten.
"Jian'er, Dad is thirsty. Li Xiaotian looked at Li Jian with a kind smile, Li Jian has not been filial to him for a long time like today, in the past, most of the time, he was with a purpose, pretending to please him.
And today, Li Jian has no purpose, he is not filial to him in order to please him, he just wants to be good to his father, Li Xiaotian is very satisfied with Li Jian's current performance.
"Okay, you sit for a while, and I'll go and pour. Li Jian quickly poured the water back, Li Xiaotian took the cup and took a shallow sip, it was not hot or cold, and the water temperature was just right.
It can be seen that the sword is made with heart.
After a while, Li Xiaotian licked his lower lip, stared at Li Jian and said, "Jian'er, I'm sorry, when Dad was young, he put most of his energy into the company, plus you have three younger brothers, and I have adopted a daughter, many times I may be a little negligent to you, and I have not fulfilled the responsibility of being a father, so I made you have a radical psychology and did a bunch of wrong things, Dad is sorry, Dad didn't teach you well......"
I'm sorry this time, I was more than thirty years late, Li Jian thought that his heart was numb, and he would never be happy for a day when he heard Li Xiaotian say a heart-warming word like he did when he was a child.
But he is more and more useless than when he was a child, the warm tears burst out of his eyes, he couldn't stop it, he cried and grabbed Li Xiaotian's hand, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm like this, it's not your fault, it's my own lack of courage, I don't study well, these years, let you down, make you sad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm useless, I'm incompetent, I can't do anything, I also killed my own children, it's all my fault......"
"Silly boy......" Li Xiaotian raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Li Jian's face in distress, "You are not useless, and you are not bad at everything, at least, before Li Wei was imprisoned, you stood up for her, you saved her once, and you used your life to protect the calf, Dad felt very relieved, because this shows that you have not reached the point where you are terminally ill and incurable." ”
"But she was still dead. Li Jian buried his face in Li Xiaotian's palm, "I still haven't saved her, Dad, I'm really a complete loser." ”
When Li Xiaotian heard this, he knew that Li Jian had lost his way and knew that he was wrong, he smiled with relief, and then wiped his tears for Li Jian, "Okay, Jian'er, you are in your fifties, and you will be sixty in a few years, crying like a woman, let others see it, but I will laugh at you." ”
"Okay, then I won't cry. Li Jian stood up and asked with a smile, "Dad, do you want to eat anything now, I'll help you make it." Li Jian thought, Li Xiaotian must be very hungry after sleeping for so long.
"Needless to say, I really have something I want to eat right now. ”
"What?"
"Durian. Li Xiaotian said, "I've been good at this bite since I was a child, but after this disease reached an advanced stage, your third brother Li Yan and brother and daughter-in-law Xinni always didn't let me eat it." ”
Li Xiaotian's thin lips pursed slightly, like a child who was deducted candy by his parents, Li Jian smiled when he saw this, and then stood up, "Okay, I'll go downstairs and find you some durian." ”
He walked in a hurry, and ran as soon as he stood up, like a frizzy hairy boy, running like a gust of wind that swept past Annie.
