55. Chapter 55
Lightning pierced the night sky, tearing through the dark night.
Li Dongshang opened his eyes suddenly, his heart was still beating uncontrollably, he sat up, turned over and turned on the light, took the cigarette and lighter from the cabinet casually, and skillfully lit a cigarette.
The smoke erupted, one by one, in circles, and the panic in his heart seemed to be diluted by the smoke, and he leaned back on the bed, tilting his head and closing his eyes.
Outside the window, thunder roared, lightning provoked in the sky, and the wind and rain knocked on the doors and windows in waves, and the sound was as loud as hail falling down.
He β‘β‘ his upper body and got out of bed, opened the glass door, the wind swept in the rain, he shivered involuntarily, leaned against the door and bowed his head slightly.
That day, also on such a thunderstormy night, he came back from a business trip, but without waiting for the person he wanted to see, she left, only pressed a note under his pillow, she said she would not come back.
He will never forget the feeling at that time, as if the sky above his head had fallen, that kind of despair, that feeling, he had only experienced once when his mother was hospitalized.
She is gone, there has been no news for three years, he even got engaged to Lu Xin, the news made major headlines, she still did not appear, and then he began to have nightmares every night, dreaming of all kinds of tragic situations in which she was mutilated.
If something didn't happen, why didn't she show up? He didn't believe she would forget him!
A cigarette burned to his head, half of his body was covered with rain, cold and damp, he went into the room and closed the glass door, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and lay back on the bed.
The lights were extinguished, and when night came, he lay flat with his eyes closed, and he had no sleep all night.
Early in the morning β
The clear sky after the rain is exceptionally blue and bright, and the fresh air is blown in by the light breeze and the smell of humidity after the rain.
Li Dongshang opened his eyes, his head was drowsy, his brows were tightly furrowed, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and forgot to pull the curtains last night.
"Dongshang."
The door was pushed open, and Lu Xin walked in, she wore a light blue short skirt today, her long hair was scattered, her makeup was light and thin, and she was innocent and sexy.
Li Dongshang frowned slightly, grabbed the shirt on the side and put it on.
"Why are you here so early?"
"Isn't Auntie not at home, I'm afraid you won't eat again, you are my boss, what if I fall ill and I am laid off?"
Lu Xin pursed his lips and chuckled, Li Dongshang picked up the watch on the table and glanced at it, and said lightly: "Even if I am dead, LY will not fall, you don't have to worry about being laid off." β
He was in a bad mood and didn't have the intention of joking, Lu Xin's smile stiffened for a moment, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Come down and eat." β
Today is the same end, so you don't have to go to work.
Lu Xin made breakfast with his own hands, it was very rich, but Li Dongshang had no appetite, only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, Lu Xin's eyes showed a look of worry, but he was afraid of annoying him, so he didn't dare to force him.
The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, and when Li Dongshang saw the number, his face turned straight and he picked up the phone.
"What's going on? Why is the Su family auction held? β
Fang Jingjue's voice came from the other end, containing anger, Li Dongshang put down the spoon and said lightly: "Isn't it good to hold it?" No matter how big the scene is, there will be a lot of people coming at that time. β
"I said yes! Divided the Su family's antique business, what do you mean now? β
"The Su family is now desperate, thinking that they will definitely make a profit this time, and invited so many celebrities to participate in the auction, but if the Warring States Heaven Inlaid Ink Astrolabe, which once caused a sensation in the world, is identified as a fake in front of everyone's eyes, what will happen to the Su family?"
"How could it be fake?"
"If I say he's fake, it must be fake."
Fang Jingjue's voice was dark, and he couldn't hear the emotion, "You did something wrong." β
"I am a legal businessman, I don't do illegal things, I am not the only one who hates the Su family, and the one I hate the most is not me."
"It's the Si family."
Fang Jingjue understood in an instant, but he was impatient to talk nonsense with him, and said impatiently: "I don't care, if it doesn't succeed this time, I'm not done with you!" β
He hung up the phone with a snap, Li Dongshang frowned, and put the phone on the table casually, Lu Xin stirred the porridge, and his tone was unconsciously resentful.
"It's been so long, and you still haven't given up."
"If you have something to say, say it."
Li Dongshang poured a glass of milk without raising his head, Lu Xin secretly gritted his teeth, raised his head and said: "Dongshang, it's been three years, even if you collapse the Su family, what if you collapse?" Su Wen won't come back either, do you want to wait for her for the rest of your life? β
"Lu Xin."
Li Dongshang raised his head, his eyes were cold, "Don't forget it, our engagement is an agreement, I don't need you to interfere in my affairs, you just need to do your job." β
"But I-"
Lu Xin Chong said a sentence and intercepted it vividly, but he was unwilling in his heart, and said the words: "You know what I think about you." β
"Your thoughts on me are your own business, it has nothing to do with me, and besides, we are just friends, such a transgressive thing as making breakfast here, don't do it next time, otherwise I will think that you are in breach of contract, and this agreement can also be invalidated."
Lu Xin lowered his head and didn't speak, a little annoyed, when her father was sick, Li Dongshang helped her pay a large amount of medical expenses, and she had always been grateful, so she said that when he agreed to get engaged, she agreed.
On the one hand, because of gratitude, on the other hand, because of sincerity, she has liked him for many years, thinking that there will always be love over time, and year after year, he will always forget that person.
She worked so hard to please him and Jiang Qiulan, but no matter how she paid, their mother and son always treated her as an outsider, she didn't understand, but she was just a former childhood sweetheart, is it so unforgettable?
Lu Xin was aggrieved and sad, and a little annoyed, so he left after eating, so angry that he didn't even clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Li Dongshang returned to the room, the days when he didn't go to work were boring and lonely, and his heart was so lonely that his heart was empty, he raised his hand to hold the crystal stone on his chest, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Lucky Star said that it was really all about deceiving innocent men and women, he kept wearing it, but he still couldn't keep her, he took his mobile phone and flipped through the pictures left a few years ago, or those taken when she was wearing a wedding dress.
Only then did he understand that at that time she had already decided to leave, and those tears were not because she was happy, but because she was reluctant.
He was very tired, sitting on the bed thinking about the past, his mood seemed to be better, and he was much more sober, but he was more lonely and dazed, not that he had nothing to do, but that he felt bored in doing anything.
He lay on the bed and slept, slept until the evening, and when he got up, he was dizzy, and the mobile phone next to his pillow rang wildly, and it was Fang Jingjue's phone again.
"Hey! Did you read the news? The Su family is done this time! Identify fakes on the spot! Shame on the industry! β
Fang Jingjue laughed on the other end of the phone, Li Dongshang's temples twitched, he raised his hand and pressed it with his thumb, and said indifferently: "According to the original plan, you take yours, I take mine, we are businessmen, and the rest that does not belong to us will be handed over to the person who wants to manage it." β
"Okay, I heard that the old man of the Su family has entered the hospital, and he is angry that he is not dead! It's hanging. β
Li Dongshang smoked a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and dialed Si Hao's phone, "Where's the thing?" β
"You also know Si Menghao's methods, things have been smashed and shattered into powder, if you want me to wrap some and send it to you."
"The antique line of the Su family is destined to be broken, and now that they have lost a treasure for nothing, they are already in debt, and this wonderful family has finally been retributed."
"Still haven't found any news?"
Li Dongshang turned his mouth and asked, Si Hao was silent for a while, and his voice sank, "Dongshang, don't blame me for my poisonous mouth, the person I Si Hao wants to investigate, even if he escapes abroad, he will definitely be able to find out, unless something happens to her." β
"Shut up!"
Li Dongshang's face turned hideous, and his voice was ruthless.
"I'll continue to help you keep an eye on it, don't report too much hope, and Zhao Xuewen's family has already gone bankrupt, it's better to just do it, they're all eunuchs, why do you keep them?"
"Keep him and take good care of him, isn't he afraid of death, then let him live like a rat on the street."
"What about Yang Mo? Why don't you keep moving her? At the beginning, she and Zhao Xuewen teamed up to harm Su Wen, and she has been in a good situation in the past few years. β
"I want her to be prosperous, what is more painful than falling from the highest place and breaking her bones?"
Si Hao laughed out loud, "In the past few years, your heart has become more and more ruthless, okay, I won't tell you, call me if you have something, the Su family's affairs, you are not suitable to meddle anymore, and the work will be handed over to me later." β
"Thank you."
"Good friend, I don't need to say thank you, and if it wasn't for Si Menghao's madman intervening, the news wouldn't have made such a big deal at all."
"Send me Su Moming's hospitalization information later, I'm going to visit him."
Hanging up the phone, Li Dongshang pressed the cigarette into the ashtray, watching the scarlet fireworks go out little by little, and there was a sense of pleasure in his heart.
He walked down, slowly changed his clothes, tidied up carefully, and drove downstairs away.
The first district hospital in the cityββ
Su Moming leaned on the hospital bed, his face turned blue, the Su family has had many difficulties in the past few years, but his body has been very healthy because of the success of the previous operation.
"What are you going to do! How could it be fake! β
Su Moming pointed at Du Wan and scolded angrily, Du Wan is the youngest daughter of the Du family, the Su family's antique business is inextricably linked with the Du family, and Du Wan is responsible for this auction.
Du Wan's eyes were red, she was just a woman, how could she know how to do business, she just had a good relationship with the Du family, but the Du family was now under the management of her two nephews, and the family affection of the next generation was naturally much indifferent, especially Du Sihan, the old man of the Du family who had always been at odds with her, came back!
Du Siming had been prepared for a long time, and if something happened, she would clean up with the Su family, no matter how she pleaded, they just didn't come forward to help, she had a trouble in the Du family, and no one paid attention to her at all.
Su Wen stood aside and didn't speak, in the past three years, he has aged a lot, and people have been silent a lot, Yang Yaluo saw him in a daze again, and pushed him angrily.
"You're talking!"
Su Wen came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This matter may have something to do with the Si family......
Yang Yaluo and Su Moming were silent, their eyes flashed and they didn't answer, and their faces were difficult to look at.
"Dad, why is the Si family like this, you know."
"I don't know!"
Su Moming screamed angrily, slapped the quilt and scolded loudly: "What kind of old things to mention!" β
"If you don't do bad things, what are you afraid of?"
A voice suddenly soundedβ
