Chapter 518: Does Your Conscience Hurt
In the evening, Li Jingheng went home after work, and what he returned was not the Li family manor, but a mansion under his own name, although the area was not as large as the Li family manor, but after all, he bought it with his own money.
Over the years, he has always felt that he is a homeless person under the fence, until he bought this house with the money he earned, and he felt a sense of belonging in his heart, and since then he feels that he is no longer a homeless stray dog.
Drip, drip, drip.
Enter the code and open the door, the room is pitch black, and you can no longer hear the breath of a living creature except for yourself.
This is Li Jingheng's home, dark, cold, and lonely.
He was at the door, habitually feeling this loneliness for a while, and then turned on the light.
Entering the hall, throwing the briefcase into the sofa, feeling thirsty, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and when he opened the refrigerator to get his drink, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a post-it note on the refrigerator.
- Young master, happy birthday, I have prepared all the ingredients for cooking longevity noodles for you, in the refrigerator, love your mother.
Li Jingheng looked at the note pasted on the refrigerator, the handwriting was beautiful, just like his person, he raised his head and poured a sip of the soda in the bottle, put it down, opened the refrigerator, and took out all the ingredients for longevity noodles.
Take off his suit, roll up his sleeves, wash his hands, boil water, cut ingredients, every action is very skillful, as if this is not the first time he has cooked longevity noodles for himself in the middle of the night, in his deserted home.
He is used to this kind of life.
In addition to Rong's mother and a few particularly good friends who play, no one will remember his birthday, including his mother, Xiao Manrong.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
Suddenly, there was a doorbell ringing in the air.
Li Jingheng frowned slightly when he heard the sound, stopped cutting the side dishes, turned around and went out, feeling that it was a little strange that someone came here to look for him so late.
The moment the door opened.
Li Jingheng was stunned.
Especially when the people who came were carrying cakes.
"Jing Heng, don't you invite your mother in to sit down?" The person who came was Xiao Manrong, she looked at Li Jingheng with a gentle and loving smile.
Li Jingheng reflexively moved sideways, watching Xiao Manrong walk in, and many fragmented pictures flashed in his mind in an instant, all of which were Xiao Manrong's face, this woman had never accompanied him on his birthday, and he was often cold when he saw him.
Since beating him for a long time, Xiao Manrong's smiling face belongs to Li Lesheng, and she has never treated him so gently.
"Jing Heng, do you live alone here?" Xiao Manrong put the cake on the coffee table, looked up and looked around, except for Li Jingheng, there was no one else, which surprised her a little.
She thought that there would be a few friends here, and she even bought a big cake, but she didn't even see the shadow of a servant.
Li Jingheng glanced at Xiao Manrong lightly: "I don't have a girlfriend." ”
The implication is that it lives alone.
"Jing Heng, Mom doesn't mean that, Mom means ......" Xiao Manrong paused slightly, she didn't know what she wanted to say, and then answered stiffly, "What about Mom Rong? Over the years, didn't I ask her to be in charge of your diet and daily life? Why haven't I seen her today?"
"She's not in good health, so I let her retire early and only come to see me occasionally. Speaking of Rong's mother, Li Jingheng remembered the longevity noodles in the kitchen, estimated that the water had boiled, and then turned around and left.
"Jing Heng, what are you going to do in the kitchen?" Seeing this, Xiao Manrong walked in closely, and saw the tomatoes on the cutting board that had not been cut, and suddenly understood, "You haven't eaten yet?"
The tone was slightly surprised.
"Hmm. Li Jingheng replied lightly, washed his hands and continued to cut tomatoes.
"I'll do it. Unprecedentedly, Xiao Manrong stepped forward to grab the kitchen knife, Li Jingheng didn't let go, looked at her a little inexplicably, and offered her nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
"Say, what are you looking for me?" For so many years, Xiao Manrong has never stepped into this house, and the mother-son relationship between him and Xiao Manrong has long been cold and even inferior to outsiders.
He didn't believe it, Xiao Manrong really came to celebrate his birthday today.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xiao Manrong immediately showed an embarrassed smile on his face.
"That's right, today your grandfather suddenly called home, saying that Lesheng has recovered well in the past two years, so he asked him to go to work in the company, one can exercise his business ability, and the other can help reduce the burden on Sedum......
When Li Jingheng heard this, his heart became cold little by little, he didn't know how to describe his current mood, so he simply remained silent, his current face was not very good, which made Xiao Manrong a little difficult to say about what he was going to say next.
"Jing Heng, is it like this...... Mom thinks that Lesheng as a newcomer into the company, at the beginning, there will definitely not be many people who support him, I think if he wants to gain a foothold in the company, he must hand over a beautiful report card not long after entering the company, Mom heard that you have a few big projects recently to cooperate with Li Jingtian, or, change the cooperation object to Lesheng?
Li Jingheng became more and more chilled when he heard this.
"Do you know what day it is?" Li Jingheng put down the kitchen knife, his thin lips opened lightly, and his cold voice was obviously wrapped in displeasure.
"Yes...... It's your birthday. Xiao Manrong subconsciously began to knot his tongue.
"It's rare, you still remember that today is my birthday. As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared on Li Jingheng's lips, and he stared sideways at Xiao Manrong's eyes, "Could it be the information for temporary investigation?"
Slightly stunned for a moment, Xiao Manrong's face was embarrassed and red and dry: "Jing Heng, don't think about your mother like this, in fact, your mother loves you very much, not only remembers your birthday, but also secretly prepares birthday gifts for you every year......
"Then why have I never received it?" Li Jingheng interrupted her sharply, "When I'm as easy to deceive as a three-year-old?"
Xiao Manrong was looked at by Li Jingheng's questioning eyes for a while, but he said with red eyes: "I...... I didn't lie to you, over the years, I really have secretly prepared birthday gifts for you, it's just that your dad doesn't like me being too nice to you, so ...... I never dared to give it away, and I secretly treasured it. ”
Li Jingheng stared at her for a while, then lifted his thin lips and laughed sarcastically: "It's really like acting, I was almost moved." ”
"Jing Heng-" Xiao Manrong saw that Li Jing Heng didn't believe her, and was anxious.
"Don't act anymore, if you really love me, the first time you entered the house just now, you just said happy birthday to me, instead of greeting me and begging me to help Li Lesheng gain a foothold in the company. Also, don't say in front of me that person is my dad in the future, I don't have the same blood in his body!" Under the cold, Li Jingheng's eyes became colder and colder.
Xiao Manrong looked at Li Jingheng in a daze, she had nothing to refute, because she had never said happy birthday to Li Jingheng since she entered this room.
"Get out!"
Xiao Manrong's non-refutation made the flame of anger in Li Jingheng's heart more and more lush, he pointed angrily at the kitchen exit, still holding a vegetable cutting knife in his hand, Xiao Manrong's pale face was reflected on the kitchen knife, and he was so frightened that he trembled in his heart.
"I let you out, didn't you hear?" In anger, Li Jingheng called Xiao Manrong's name, "Xiao Manrong, I have lived in a family without mother's love and father's love since I was a child. ”
"Since middle school, I have been working everywhere to try my best to make money, since then, tuition, living expenses, and even later entrepreneurial funds, are all dependent on myself, I have never touched you half of the light, I don't owe you, let alone the responsibility and obligation to escort your youngest son in the business world!"
Xiao Manrong opened his mouth, and then fell silent, Li Jingheng was right, all these years, he has always been self-reliant and relied on himself, but ......
"Jing Heng, Lesheng is your younger brother after all, he has liked you since he was a child, and he will think of you if there is anything delicious and fun, Mom has been sorry for you all these years, but Lesheng is not sorry for you. ”
"And don't forget, some time ago, Alice wanted to marry you, because you didn't like Alice, so you asked Lesheng to help you take over this family business, yes, you don't owe me, but you owe Lesheng. ”
Li Jingheng couldn't help but smile coldly when he heard this: "Don't say it so nicely, Lesheng agreed to marry Alice, not for me, but because he likes Alice, he is not as great as you say." ”
Xiao Manrong was silent for a moment and asked, "Jing Heng, are you determined not to help Le Sheng?"
"No, I don't. Li Jingheng replied without hesitation, if Xiao Manrong hadn't condescended to come to the house to beg him for Li Lesheng today, he wouldn't have done such a ruthless job.
"What if I tell you who your father is?" Xiao Manrong straightened his waist and talked to Li Jingheng about the conditions.
Li Jingheng looked at her for a while, over the years, he hadn't been curious about who his biological father was, and after a while, he laughed coldly.
"Heh......" His chest hurt a little, he didn't know if he was angry with Xiao Manrong, or if the old injury had recurred, he looked at Xiao Manrong with a smile, "I still remember when I was a child, I asked you once, who is my father, do you remember how you answered me at that time?"
Hearing this, Xiao Manrong's thin willow eyebrows suddenly frowned.
Seeing this, Li Jingheng couldn't help but laugh and get hurt more and more.
"It seems that you don't remember, okay, then let me tell you, you pulled me out and tied me to a tree and whipped me severely, and I was covered in wounds. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Li Jingheng's face stopped abruptly, his eyes instantly became cold and terrifying, and his tone was even a little aggressive, he pouted Xiao Manrong's eyes and pressed towards him step by step.
"It was you who told me that I don't have a father, and told me never to ask you this question again from now on, you beat me half to death at that time and refused to say it, but now you use my father's name as a condition for me to help Li Lesheng, you are so partial, won't your conscience hurt?!"
Xiao Manrong was overwhelmed by Li Jingheng's cautious momentum, she was defeated and retreated until there was no way to retreat, her body was against the wall, her legs softened, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
