Chapter 911: Li Zhongtang's descendants
At tea time, Jenny's grandfather was still resting, an old man in his eighties, and he could still go to the ground to move, which was already commendable, no matter how noble his identity was, his body and age had long been unwilling to forgive. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Jenny's father is also busy with official business in the government, and there may be nothing to do, but this time is not yet for him to get off work.
Therefore, in the afternoon, it was actually a gathering of a few young people, and there were also a few young people from Jenny's house, so they naturally introduced them one by one, Jenny was basically wet with rain and dew, but Li Qian Haocheng was not pretended to be at all.
Li Qian Haocheng was left out in the cold, and if he was replaced by someone else, he must have sat aside depressedly and no longer got into it.
However, Li Qian Haocheng is obviously not that kind of person, even if no one pays attention to him, he still mixes in the crowd with great interest, and makes affectionate confessions to Jenny from time to time, which really makes everyone's chat a little unbearable.
Shi Lei didn't really interject much, after all, they are brothers and sisters, and Fluttershy is obviously very familiar with this family, they have their common topics, Zhao Di also had to accompany his girlfriend, Shi Lei gradually, he stepped aside, and he was bored flipping through his phone.
Fluttershy notices Shi Lei's embarrassment and pulls Zhao Di to Shi Lei's side.
"Shi Shao, why did you sit here alone?"
Shi Lei raised his head and smiled slightly, and said, "You all talk about European customs, and I don't know much about it, so it's good to sit alone for a while." β
Over there, Jenny saw Shi Lei and the three of them sitting on the side, and she also had the heart to come over, but Li Qian Haocheng grabbed her.
"Jenny, why are you always so cold to me, you should know that my mother is also a devout Christian, but I didn't accompany her on a day like Christmas, and flew from home today. You see, I didn't even attend yesterday's class reunion......"
Jenny looked at him helplessly, probably thinking that this was not hospitality, so she had to sit down again, but her eyes kept looking at Shi Lei's side.
At this time, a man in his thirties from the Scola family spoke: "Money, it's not just Jenny who is cold to you, all of us are cold to you. If it weren't for the fact that it was too late, we would even like to persuade you to go back to Huaxia and accompany Ms. Qian for the holiday, such a grand festival, you, as her son, the only son, did not accompany her, this is really not good......"
Li Qian Haocheng was polite to Jenny, but not so polite to others.
He glared at him and said, "Philip, it seems that you didn't lose badly enough last time, how much are you going to lose to me today?"
Philip's face changed, and he no longer said anything, it seems that he did lose a lot last time.
"Are you cold to me, do you think I care? All I need is Jenny's favor. β
Everyone looked sideways, they really couldn't listen to it, even if Westerners don't mind talking about their emotions, this Li Qian Haocheng is really a bit excessive.
When Shi Lei saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face again.
Fluttershy notices this and laughs and says, "His name is Li Qian, his father's name is Li, and his mother's name is Qian." That's why I gave him this name. His maternal grandfather was a diplomat and had previously been based in the UK. It is said that his grandfather played a lot of role in the return of Hong Kong Island. But even so, his maternal grandfather still maintained a very good relationship with the royal family, and his personal relationship with Jenny's grandfather was quite good. His mother and Jenny's mother grew up together, oh yes, Jenny's mother was also a member of the royal family, and when they were young, they used to mess around in the palace......"
Shi Lei understood, nodded, and said with a smile: "This is the real good of Tongjia." He was at the door just now, and I asked him to call him Mr. Qian, probably because his mother's family is stronger, right?"
"That's not true, in fact, his mother respected his father very much, and even in his mother's family, thinking that his mother could marry his father, that was a kind of high climbing. His father's family was a real intellectual, scholarly family. During the Qing Dynasty, their Li family achieved the highest ...... in the middle hall."
Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Li Hongzhang?"
Fluttershy shakes her head and says, "It's a legend in the outside world, but it's not, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were very few people in their family who were in high positions." However, even Li Hongzhang wanted to show goodwill to their family, and he also voted for a protΓ©gΓ©. It's not bad, in short, it's a real scholarly family, in the history of the book on the bus, their Li family is an absolute clear stream. β
Shi Lei doesn't know much about these, but he just heard a little, and to sum it up, it is basically a sentence, the Li family is a family with a deep heritage.
"Children of the family, no wonder the sword is on the wrong side. β
Fluttershy laughed and said, "Shi Shao, you're so polite, you only used words like Sword Sect Bias. His grandfather's evaluation of him was deviant. β
"So, he doesn't like to read?"
"Not only do you not like to read, but you don't read at all. But after all, he came from a scholarly family, no matter how much he didn't like to read, he was still a scholar. When he graduated from junior high school, he was brought to London because his mother was also sent to the British embassy, and his father was a more old-fashioned university professor. Education in the UK is different from that in China, and usually international students are required to study for one year of IGCSE and then two years of A-levels. But when he entered the school, he flipped through the books casually, and went home and told his mother that he couldn't read the broken books. His mother asked him why, and he said it was outrageously simple. So his mother arranged for him to take an exam, and he got a perfect score. After he transferred to the A-level class, he was annoyed again in two days, saying that it was still too easy, because it was just in time for the exam in October of that year, he went directly to take the AS exam, and naturally passed with a full score. So he saved two years, and of course the Scola family helped him to go straight to the A2 school year. It is said that it was still mixed for a year, and then I was admitted to the same school as us. Strictly speaking, he was not our classmate, he was at the same level in the same school, he studied economics. So, he was two years younger than Jenny and me, but he graduated from college in the same year as us. β
Shi Lei smiled and shook his head, the world of Xindao Xueba is really incomprehensible, although this is not as good as Yao Er, but it is not far away.
"His father was a university professor and spent most of his time in academic research, with little education and care for him. He grew up almost with his mother's side since he was a child, and he was too favored, so he developed such a character. However, in fact, others are good, but they are so exaggerated that they are unbearable. Jenny and I don't really hate him, we just can't communicate with him normally. His deviance also lies in the fact that he neither wants to inherit the scholarly heirloom of the Li family, nor does he want to continue to follow the path of his mother's family in diplomacy, he thinks about starting a business all day long and becoming the richest man in the world......"
Shi Lei laughed and asked, "Then in the past few years since he graduated, has he tossed something?"
"I have a foreign trade company, which is doing well, and my net worth should be over 100 million. I'm clamoring for a release this year. But this year is almost over, and his listing plan is estimated to be next year. He is pompous and exaggerated, his ability is still quite strong, his parents' genes are too good, and it is not easy to inherit an idiot. β
