"Wait...... Wait a minute!" Li Xu exclaimed with the corners of his mouth twitching, his face ugly as if he had eaten a lump of Xiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"We said okay, if I make this deal, I don't have to go to college!" he said, glaring at his father.

"I just said I would think about it, II. Old Edward replied unhurriedly.

Li Xu squinted his eyes again, and then squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "You are not trustworthy, Dad! You are deceiving your own child! Oh, do you remember what the first lesson you taught me? If you promise others, you must do it, and if you can't do it, don't agree!"

"Since you were 12 years old, you've been emphasizing that you're already an adult and capable of making your own decisions, and now you're starting to be a kid again?" said Edward Sr. laughed, "and I've only said I'd think about it all along." ”

If you don't want the opportunity to slip away from your hand, will you be given the opportunity to push back? Looking at his father in this life speechlessly, Li Xu took a deep breath and asked in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Dad, am I your own child?"

It's just that you let your traders follow my traders to "pick up leaks", and you are still fooling me, do you really think that you are my father in this life, and I dare not beat you?

"Of course," old Edward raised his hands as if he didn't hear it, "a few days after you were born, your grandfather took you for a test, and you know, he took this aspect very seriously and had a lot of obsessions. ”

"......" Li Xu couldn't help but cover his forehead, being born in this family is really a depressing thing.

"Oh, I forgot to say," said old Edward suddenly, "it was your grandfather who called Principal Curtis first, and then me, and he was very pleased with your performance. ”

Hearing this, Li Xu was speechless, as long as anything involves grandpa, it is very troublesome.

"Besides," continued the father, pouring salt into his wounds, "your grandfather would love to talk to you very formally about some topics, the ones he used to talk about, so you'd better go to San Francisco and see him." ”

A bad feeling rose in Li Xu's heart: "What about you?"

"I have a lot of work to attend to," said old Edward in a succinct manner, "and you're already an adult, and you can make your own decisions, can you?"

Gasping for a cold breath, Li Xu gritted his teeth and looked at his father in this life: "Am I really your own, Dad?"

"Believe me, that's for sure," Old Edward chuckled, "well, II, just go and talk to Grandpa, not let you stay with Tiger." ”

"I'd rather be locked up with a tiger. Li Xu muttered.

"Besides," continued old Edward, "whatever you want to do in the future, it's always good to have Grandpa's support, and I can remember the way you talked to him at the beginning." ”

"Can't you have your support?" Li Xu asked rhetorically, "You also know that grandpa's abacus has ...... How impossible. ”

"At least not for now," said Edward Sr., shrugging, "and...... Maybe you can give it a try. ”

He looked at him with a smile: "If you can keep making such achievements, II." ”

Li Xu blinked, looking at old Edward in disbelief, what are you kidding, grandpa's whimsical abacus, do you really plan to implement it?

At that moment, the telephone on his desk rang, and old Edward picked it up, "What's the matter, Mary? ”

He laughed, and then changed his tone, very gently: "Hey, dear, have you woken up or haven't slept yet, it should be 5 o'clock in the morning in Tokyo, right?"

Li Xu's eyelids jumped, and he sat there silently, while lamenting what might happen next. As soon as old Edward changed his tone, he guessed who was on the other side of the phone.

Sure enough, after saying a few words, his father glanced at him: "Of course, he is right in front of me, and he has done a very good job this time, my dear, very good." ”

Then he handed the microphone to Li Xu.

After a little reluctance, he began to speak in Japanese: "Good morning, Mother." ”

"Ah, it's great to hear Liangshi's voice," a female voice came from the other side, so that the tone of surprise sounded like a joke, "It's been a long time since you've called your mother, and she misses you so much." ”

Hehe...... Li Xu rolled his eyes in his heart, but his tone remained respectful: "I'm really sorry, Mother, you also know that I have been busy shorting silver recently, and I have been living in New York, and I have to pay attention to the market all the time, so I forgot to call, I'm very sorry." ”

"Yes, I know, Liangshi has grown up, and he has to work hard for his career. Really, in a blink of an eye, my little Liangshi is already so big, I miss your chubby appearance in my mother's arms. The voice over there was sometimes emotional, sometimes mournful, like a sentimental girl.

Li Xu couldn't help but cover his forehead, he really didn't know how to answer himself...... This kind of time always seems not so serious mother.

"Well, Mother, Dad should have told you, I did a good job this time, but he still wants me to go to college. Li Xu coughed lightly.

"You already know? Gee, I thought your dad was going to wait until you graduated. The mother sighed, as if very sorry that she could not see her son's deflated expression.

"Mother, ......" Li Xu could only scream weakly, he was used to it.

"Ah, when is Ryoshi going back to see Mom? Mom hasn't seen you for a long time," Mom then changed the subject, and her tone became resentful, "Empty nesters are very lonely. ”

The corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched for a while, and his face was a little dark, and he knew that he wouldn't teach her that word.

"You're only 43 years old, and you're 108,000 miles away from the word "old man." It took a lot of effort for him to get himself to say it smoothly.

"But getting old is fast, especially when you're not around. Mother began to sigh, and Li Xu couldn't help but have a headache.

"Okay, okay," he said after a quick weigh-up, "Anyway, there hasn't been much going on lately, and Dad said I didn't have any problems applying to Harvard, and it shouldn't matter if I skipped a few classes a little now, as long as it's okay here, I'll come and see you, okay?"

"Ah, that's great, I can't wait to see Kangshi. Mother said cheerfully, but it was a little exaggerated, especially when all kinds of "ah", "what", and "oh" were intertwined

Why are there so many onomatopoeia in Japanese? Li Xu thought depressedly in his heart, and besides, he wanted to ask his mother a long time ago: Are you really an RB person? Are you really an RB woman?

After saying a few more words, and finally hung up the phone, Li Xu let out a long breath, and then looked at his father and twitched the corners of his mouth again.

The other party looked interested: "I have to say, II, you have never treated me like this." ”

Can you not make such an expression that looks like you are competing for favor? Rolling his eyes, Li Xu was too lazy to speak, and stood up directly: "Please prepare a plane for me, Dad, when the matter here is completely dealt with, I will go back to Tokyo." ”

Without waiting for old Edward to speak, he immediately added: "By the way, please call Oakland High School and ask for leave for me." ”

"No problem. The father agreed, and seemed to be quite indulgent to him, but at once he added, "But before you get there, my dear son, you must go back to San Francisco and have a good talk with your grandfather." ”

Rolling his eyes again, Li Xu unceremoniously gave his father a middle finger and walked directly to the door, and then he turned his head and asked, "It must be Harvard?

"Your grandfather graduated from Harvard, your late uncle graduated from Harvard, your cousin graduated from Harvard, I graduated from Harvard, even your mother graduated from Harvard, what do you think?" asked Edward Sr. with a smile.

"Got it. Li Xu shook his head and walked out, this is just a dying struggle if he can't talk to his grandfather.

Well, he should be mentally prepared for the fact that, from the age of 12, he has always succeeded and failed in every struggle for autonomy - always winning a little bit of autonomy and then being put under more pressure.

"If Lao Tzu goes back...... No, if any SB dares to say anything in this life, American upper-class families are letting their children earn tuition and living expenses in order to cultivate independent living ability, and Lao Tzu slapped him to death!" Li Xu, who returned to the car, muttered indignantly.

Based on his experience over the past 17 years, this is unlikely to be the case in true high society at all – well, not exactly, but any child who is treated in this way basically means one thing: they are abandoned.

Just like his father in this life, if it weren't for this, it would be impossible for old Edward to have an RB woman as a wife, even if the other party was also a famous family in RB...... Well, it can't be said that although most of the Li family's resources are concentrated on Li Xu's uncle in this life, that is, Franklin Spencer Lee, Edward Pierpont Lee's life, Edward Pierpont Lee is not completely free-range.

So, when the Franklins died in a car accident, Edward was able to quickly take over the family business and maintain stability.

Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but sigh, American dad, rb mother, plus the only son with the soul of a Chinese, is really the most fucked up rebirth in history.

The car came all the way to No. 7 Park Avenue, Li Xu got down and entered the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, went straight to the suite in the tower, took the key and opened the door.

"Teresa, are you there?" asked, noticing movement in the room, and walked in before stunting at the bar.

In the living room of the suite, a round-faced, feminine Oriental woman sits on a single sofa, frowning slightly, while two middle-aged Asian men in suits sit across from her, as if they are discussing something.

When Li Xu came in, the three people who heard the sound all looked at him, the woman showed a relieved but gloomy complicated look, and the two men frowned together.
