Chapter 40
Li Shuo brushed the chaotic thoughts in his mind little by little, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a person.
That person is more convincing than Zhao Jinxin in front of Shao Qun, and the two of them have dealt with each other once because of Li Chengxiu, she is Shao Qun's eldest sister, and she wants to break up Shao Qun and Li Chengxiu's hearts, stronger than anyone else.
Li Shuo sat up straight and began to look through the number book, and sure enough, he found the contact person who hadn't moved for a long time, and he dialed the phone.
"Hey, who is it?" On the other end of the phone was a rather magnetic female voice, and the voice alone was full of aura.
Li Shuo showed a sneer: "Hello, I'm Li Shuo......"
After not being able to get through to Han Feiye's phone for two consecutive days, Li Shuo began to be a little worried. No matter what Han Feiye thought in his heart, it must be very uncomfortable now, he at least had to make sure that Han Feiye was okay. After thinking about it, he called Cheng Sheng.
It was already night in the United States, and Cheng Sheng's voice was slurred when he answered the phone, obviously asleep.
"Cheng Sheng, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
βlambertβ¦β¦ You're back to China," Cheng Sheng yawned loudly.
"Well, just a few days after I came back, I'm sorry, I'm really in a bit of a hurry to call you so late."
"It's okay, you say, what's wrong?"
"Can you go to Feiye's company tomorrow and see how he is doing?"
"Huh?" Cheng Sheng couldn't react, "What's wrong?" β
Li Shuo said embarrassedly: "Between us...... It's a bit of a misunderstanding, he doesn't answer my phone right now, I just want to make sure he's okay, I'm a little worried. β
"What's wrong with you two?" Cheng Sheng was completely sleepy, "You kid is really a love saint, didn't you get along with Zhao Gongzi a few days ago, and today you got along with Han Feiye again?" β
"Don't guess." Li Shuo said helplessly, "It's not what you think, Feiye and I have nothing, and I can't explain it to you, anyway, you do me a favor and go see him, okay?" β
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow. Then I saw him, what did I say? On your orders to see him? β
You just say...... Let him not worry about anything and call me back. β
βokγβ
Hung up the phone, Li Shuo got up and went to the boarding gate, he flew to Yangcheng today, if it was really as Shao Wen said, then he would be able to see Li Chengxiu in the afternoon.
When he arrived in Yangcheng, Shao Wen sent a driver to send him to the hotel.
At this time, just after noon, Li Shuo asked the hotel to bring lunch, but after a few bites of salad, he had no appetite.
He took a shower, shaved and changed his clothes.
Although he usually pays attention to appearance, he rarely deliberately dresses up, but today, he wants to make Shao Qun more uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
The time was almost up, his mobile phone rang, and Shao Wen's driver said politely: "Mr. Li, the car is already downstairs, you can come down at any time when you are ready." β
"Okay, I'll go down now."
Li Shuo put on a black diamond tie clip for himself, looked at himself in the mirror, and showed a chic and confident smile.
Downstairs, a black Bentley stopped outside the revolving door of the hotel.
At the same time that Li Shuo walked out of the turnstile, the driver also got out of the car and opened the door for him.
A woman in a smoky pink dress sat inside, and from his angle, he couldn't see his face, only his slender and beautiful body.
Li Shuo nodded to the driver and sat in.
Shao Wen turned her head to look at him, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, not rude or enthusiastic.
She was a very beautiful woman, in her thirties, with neck-length short and medium hair, delicate and three-dimensional facial features, and a temperament that was not angry but powerful, and she was not an ordinary woman at first glance.
"Shao ......" Li Shuo had just sat down, and before he could say a few words, he noticed that there was someone in the co-pilot.
As soon as the man turned his head, Li Shuo's face changed slightly: "Zhao Jinxin? β
Zhao Jinxin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Hello, Brother Li." β
"Hello." Li Shuo nodded coldly, then turned to Shao Wen and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Shao, thank you." β
Shao Wen shook his hand: "I should thank you, I apologize for all the trouble my brother has caused you." β
Li Shuopi said with a smile: "You're polite, no one needs to apologize on his behalf." "He came back this time for many purposes, one of which was to make Shao Qun pay for what he had done.
The three of them didn't say anything all the way.
Li Shuo looked out the window, thinking about the people he was going to see for a while, and his heart was difficult to calm down. Suddenly, he felt Zhao Jinxin looking at him from the gap in the passenger seat, he pretended not to see it, leaned back in the seat, and closed his eyes to recuperate. He didn't know what Zhao Jinxin wanted to do when he came along, what could it be of any use except to remind him of being deceived and fooled by the two brothers joining forces.
Today's Zhao Jinxin is just Shao Qun's cousin to him, which makes him feel particularly bored.
The car drove into an old city, slowly slowing down, Li Shuo looked at the outdated and old construction around him, his mood was very complicated, on the one hand, he was glad that Shao Qun had not taken people away, on the other hand, he was uncomfortable that Li Chengxiu was still not doing well.
The car was parked in front of an old residential area.
Li Shuo looked at Shao Wen: "Which one?" β
"Not sure." Shao Wen took out her mobile phone and prepared to make a call.
"No need." Li Shuo suddenly saw two familiar figures, his teeth trembled, his fists clenched tightly, and he opened the car door a little roughly.
"Li Shuo!" Zhao Jinxin chased after him.
The two people who walked in from the gate of the community, one was slender, fair and delicate, gentle and harmless temperament, and there seemed to be a light sorrow between his eyebrows, and the other was tall and straight, wearing the simplest casual clothes and flip-flops, they couldn't hide the extraordinary-born extravagance, handsome and handsome, he walked behind, looking a little depressed.
Li Shuo's feelings were turbulent, and he blurted out: "Cheng Xiu! β
Both of them were stunned and looked at them.
Li Shuo walked over in a few steps, hugged Li Chengxiu, and looked at this person standing in front of him perfectly, the heart he had been hanging on could finally fall back into place.
After Li Chengxiu was stunned, he couldn't help choking up and said, "Brother Li......"
Li Shuo only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and then his body was violently pushed away.
Shao Qun pointed at his nose viciously and said sharply, "Don't touch my people." β
When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Shao Qun, you shameless villain." He clenched his fists and tried to pounce.
Zhao Jinxin suddenly rushed between the two of them, blocked in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, don't be so angry on a hot day." β
Shao Qun narrowed his eyes: "Jin Xin, did you recruit my sister?" And this idiot ......."
"Wronged, I just came to see you with my eldest sister." Zhao Jinxin turned around and glanced at Li Shuo, signaling him to calm down.
Li Shuo's eyes were cold and full of anger, and he pushed Zhao Jinxin away: "Cheng Xiu......"
Zhao Jinxin blocked him again, took the initiative to take Li Chengxiu's hand and shook it, revealing a beautiful and pleasing smile: "Hello, you are Li Chengxiu, you look so delicious." β
Li Chengxiu withdrew his hand vigilantly and took a step back, his gaze swirling between the Shao family, obviously a little afraid.
The frightened eyes of the little animal made Li Shuo feel pity.
Shao Qun frowned and said, "Cheng Xiu, don't be afraid, this is my cousin, called Zhao Jinxin." β
Shao Wen, who was silent on the side, walked over and said sarcastically: "Aren't you introducing your sister?" β
Shao Qun said impatiently: "Eldest sister, what are you doing here." β
Shao Wen raised her hand and slapped her, and said angrily: "Guess what I'm here for." β
Shao Qun lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Shao Wen took a deep breath and restrained her feelings: "When you enter the house, you are all standing here and showing people jokes?" β
"Cheng Xiu......" Li Shuo wanted to go to Li Chengxiu's side, but this time Shao Qun and Zhao Jinxin blocked between them together, and Li Shuo was so angry that he wanted to beat someone.
The five of them went upstairs along the narrow and mottled stairs, and Li Chengxiu stood at the door of his room and whispered, "Brother Li, you can come into the house and sit down." β
Shao Qun's eyes straightened: "The surname is Li, you dare to try it at his house." β
Li Shuo smiled provocatively: "We used to live together and enjoy the same key, is there anything wrong with me entering his house?" β
Shao Qun's eyes were suddenly bloodshot: "Aren't you getting along with Jin Xin?" Now pretending to be a fart infatuation in front of Cheng Xiu, it's disgusting! β
Shao Qun's words simply pierced Li Shuo's heart, and all the humiliation, anger and hatred he desperately suppressed came to his heart, and he really hated to beat Shao Qun all over the ground to find his teeth: "Shao Qun, you beast, you think you can defeat me Li Shuo with that kind of despicable tricks?" You will only make Cheng Xiu look down on you even more! β
Zhao Jinxin narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was no emotion on his face.
"You're the one who got between us, you sanctimonious hypocritical brute!"
"Then you can find someone to falsely accuse me?!" Li Shuo bared his teeth, "I can't return to China for half a year, I sold my office, are you happy this time?" But I sue you, I don't regret what I did, how you did to Cheng Xiu, you know better than me. β
"You deserve the, I should let you rot in America and never come back!"
Shao Wen said sharply: "Enough, Shao Qun, shut up for me!" She pushed Shao Qun and Zhao Jinxin with one hand, "Let me into the house, let them talk about the two of them by themselves, and I still have accounts to settle with you." β
Shao Qun didn't move, Li Chengxiu opened the door of his house, and said to Shao Qun with a pale face: "Don't come in." β
Shao Qun was stunned, and suddenly it was like thunder, and the whole person was wilted, and he dared to glare at Li Shuo angrily and unwillingly.
"Brother, let's go." Zhao Jinxin hugged Shao Qun's shoulders and dragged him in the opposite direction, while glancing back at Li Shuo.
Li Shuo deliberately avoided Zhao Jinxin's gaze, he straightened his collar, raised his chin and smiled at Shao Qun, turned around and followed Li Chengxiu into the house, and then closed the door slowly and slowly in front of Shao Qun.
Shao Qun roared angrily behind him.
The house is a one-bedroom apartment, the layout is clear at a glance, it is very simple, there are few decent things, and it looks like a temporary residence.
Li Chengxiu turned his back to Li Shuo, held the stove with both hands, gasped lightly, and his voice trembled a little: "Brother Li, what do you drink?" β
Li Shuo sighed and said softly, "Water is fine." β
Li Chengxiu poured two glasses of water and brought them over: "Please take a seat." β
Li Shuo sat on the sofa, he looked around, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The two of them used to have an intimate and sweet time, but now in retrospect, how did they feel so distant and strange, probably because he had never walked into this person's heart. He took a sip of water and said with a wry smile: "Cheng Xiu, I haven't seen you for so long, I have a lot to say, but now I don't know where to start." β
Li Chengxiu looked at him with bright and gentle eyes: "Brother Li, how are you doing?" β
How is he doing?
It's okay, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, the whole family is healthy, there's nothing bad about it, it's just ......
He couldn't answer, so he had to ask, "What about you?" β
Li Chengxiu smiled: "It's okay...... I got a job. β
Li Shuo raised his chin in the next room, his eyes were a little cloudy, "What's the matter with him?" β
Li Chengxiu's face changed slightly: "He, he found me and moved to the ...... next door"
Li Shuo lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Xiu, why didn't you come to the United States in the first place?" β
If there is if, a qiΔ will be different. Lee Cheng so won't fall into such a dilemma, and he won't fall in love with someone he doesn't even want to like.
Li Chengxiu's face showed shame: "Brother Li, I'm sorry...... I've been a problem with you...... IβI don't dare go. β
"I know that decision was too sudden for you."
Li Chengxiu's eyes were red: "I'm sorry......"
Li Shuo looked into his eyes: "You don't have to apologize to me, the matter of the firm has passed for me, I want to know your future plans now, I know that you want to get rid of Shao Qun, I am still willing to help you...... Only I can help you. β
Li Chengxiu was silent for a long time before he muttered: "Brother Li, I'm sorry ......."
Li Shuo put his tone very soft and slow: "Cheng Xiu, you said I'm sorry, what do you think you're sorry for?" β
"I ......"
"The thing you're most sorry for me about is that you shouldn't have disappeared all of a sudden."
Li Chengxiu's shoulders shook, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Can you imagine how anxious I am to know that you are missing when I am in the United States? Why can't you trust me, why don't you wait for me to help you, have you thought about my feelings? β
Li Chengxiu couldn't say anything except choked up and said "I'm sorry".
Li Shuo couldn't bear to pat him on the shoulder: "I don't want to blame you, I understand your difficulties." Cheng Xiu, I know you have never liked me, it doesn't matter, it's not your fault, you gave me a happy and warm time, you are still someone I admire, as long as you say a word, I am willing to help you to the end. β
Li Chengxiu shook his head with tears in his eyes: "...... Thank you. β
Li Shuo sighed, feeling very disappointed, but he was not surprised by Li Chengxiu's refusal.
Perhaps, as Wen Xiaohui said, only love is true if love is as strong and crazy as Shao Qun, although he will never be able to identify with this prickly and absurd feeling, but he can't change Li Chengxiu's mind. He said heavily, "My number hasn't changed, and after a while, you send your number to my phone." If you change your mind, or have any difficulties, give Brother Li a call, okay? β
Li Chengxiu nodded tremblingly: "Brother Li...... I don't deserve someone like you. β
Li Shuo touched his head, and his heart was blocked: "Fool, don't say such things." β
Li Chengxiu hesitated and said, "Your office ......"
"Oh, nothing." Li Shuo pretended to shrug his shoulders easily, "I sold some of my shares, so I can skip work in the future and only get dividends." β
Li Chengxiu's eyebrows were twisted together.
"Cheng Xiu, don't blame yourself for this matter, it's not your fault. And I'm fine now, I have more time to spend with my family, I have my eye on a project, and I'll go to the inspection in a few days, so I don't have to worry about it. β
Li Chengxiu nodded.
Li Shuo looked at Li Chengxiu's thin shoulders and red eyes, and wanted to hug him, there was no other purpose, just like seeing a stray rabbit and wanting to give him a little warmth, but he still didn't do anything, he stood up: "I won't bother you, remember something, contact me." β
Li Chengxiu stood up: "I, I will." β
Li Shuo gasped, turned around and walked towards the door, he thought of something, suddenly paused, and turned around, "Cheng Xiu, Shao Qun said...... I'm not as ...... as you think my cousin is."
Li Chengxiu was stunned.
"When I was in the United States, he asked his cousin to get close to me, this kind of paragraph is too inferior, I ......" Li Shuo didn't know how to describe it, he couldn't completely deny his relationship with Zhao Jinxin, but he didn't want to admit that he was fooled.
Li Chengxiu looked at him quietly, without the slightest doubt in his eyes.
Li Shuo smiled self-deprecatingly: "This matter is not important, I'll go first, let's keep in touch, huh?" β
"Okay."
Li Shuo went out, Shao Qun and Zhao Jinxin were smoking in the corridor, and when they saw him come out, they all looked at him.
I have to admit that these two brothers are extremely dazzling, but they don't have a good thing.
Shao Qun strode over and said in a cold voice, "What did you say?" β
Li Shuo raised his eyebrows: "I will tell you word by word, do you want to find a notebook to write it down?" β
Shao Qun grabbed Li Shuo's collar and said viciously, "Is it not enough that I have taught you a lesson?" β
"Obviously not enough."
Zhao Jinxin grabbed Shao Qun's hand, frowned, and said, "Brother, let go." β
Shao Qun looked at him incredulously: "Who the are you helping?" β
"Let go." Zhao Jinxin pushed Shao Qun away.
Li Shuo straightened the placket of his clothes, smoothed his tie, straightened the crooked tie clip, and said in a straight voice: "Shao Qun, it's not enough to just find someone to frame me, without the office, I won't starve to death, why don't you find someone to kill me?" Otherwise, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely make you regret it. β
Zhao Jinxin said in a low voice: "Can you say a few words." β
Li Shuo looked at him coldly: "I can't." β
Zhao Jinxin licked his lips: "From now on, if you say one more word, I will kiss you." β
Li Shuo's eyes widened.
Zhao Jinxin smiled rudely.
Shao Qun said loudly: "Get out, out for me!" β
Li Shuo snorted heavily, turned around and left.
Zhao Jinxin chased after him.
Shao Wen had already left, and Li Shuo walked out of the community to prepare for a taxi.
Zhao Jinxin followed: "Li Shuo, Brother Li, Uncle Li." β
A rental car stopped in front of Li Shuo, and Li Shuo pulled the door to get into the car.
Zhao Jinxin slammed the car door shut, snapped his fingers at the driver, and motioned for him to go.
The driver walked away without looking back.
Li Shuo turned around: "What do you want to do?" β
Zhao Jinxin touched his nose: "You see, my brother came to live in this kind of place for Li Chengxiu." β
"So what?"
"He really likes Li Chengxiu, you can rest assured."
"He likes Li Chengxiu, and he is a brute, so there is no conflict."
"What's the matter, the two of them can't be separated."
"What?" Li Shuo was so angry that he wanted to laugh, "You are worthy of Shao Qun's cousin." I'm telling you what this is for, you don't understand it, and it has nothing to do with you. β
Zhao Jinxin grabbed Li Shuo's arm: "Okay, don't talk about them, talk about us." β
"We don't have much more to say." Li Shuo reached out and stopped another taxi.
"At least we still have to work together."
"Yes, I'll go back and send you the assistant's phone, and I'll go to your company on Monday to discuss the details of the cooperation." Li Shuo got into the taxi and didn't look at Zhao Jinxin again. The more he realized Zhao Jinxin's influence on him, the more he felt that it was dangerous, and it was an animal's instinct to stay away from danger.
It wasn't until Zhao Jinxin couldn't be seen in the rearview mirror that Li Shuo let out a long breath.
He reached down and took off his tie clip. He pulled the thread out of the tie clip with a thread behind it and the other end attached to the shirt, and a small, flat box was attached to the tail.
When I opened the box, it was a chip.
Li Shuo smiled lightly.
