Chapter 21 Picking out things and hurting people's hearts
Li Le had already regained some strength at this time, slowly stood up, walked to the old man's side and said, "Old man Li, I'm sorry today." Not to mention the trouble for you, but also delaying your time to open the table, I really don't want to go, the kid is here to apologize to you! β
As soon as he heard this, the old man laughed heartily, "What's the trouble, today I watched a wonderful game, and I got two exquisite carvings to congratulate me, I can't be happy!" As for the opening time, it is nothing more than a late meal, and I think that if the guests here really missed the competition just now for the sake of the banquet, they will definitely regret it, don't you say? β
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison, recalling the feelings brought to them by Li Le's carving just now, there was still a feeling of blood boiling in their hearts, if such a wonderful experience was really missed, they would really regret it.
"That's it! I've watched a good show today, and I'm hungry, so let go of my belly and give me food and drink now, if you dare to leave a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food, you want to get me out of this door today! β
In the old man's joking words, the feast of the big birthday also began. With the respect of the old man, Li Le was arranged to sit at the same table with him, which really flattered Li Le!
He immediately picked up the cup and saluted the old man: "Old man Li, today is your birthday, and the boy wishes you a long life and the sky, prosperity, health and happiness!"
When the old man heard this, he immediately smiled, "Okay! Good! Good! Lend your kid's good words, let's all have a toast! β
In an instant, the people at the table stood up in an uproar, and then took a sip of the wine in their glasses.
Receiving the infection of this atmosphere, Li Le also dried the wine in the glass, and immediately felt a spicy sensation in his throat, and a hot breath in his lower abdomen, and his brain was a little dizzy.
Then the old man introduced the people at the table to Li Le one by one, and it seemed that they were all in important positions in the army. Li Le was the youngest among them, so he naturally restrained his expression, lowered his posture and stood up to greet them one by one.
At the same time, Li Le was also very puzzled by Old Man Li's favor.
Staggered, between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, Li Le had two more cups in his stomach, and he was already a little dizzy. Looking at others again, it seems that their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating, and there is nothing at all.
On the wine table, I have the worst amount of alcohol.
Seeing that someone was pulling him to drink again, Li Le hurriedly stopped and signaled that he couldn't drink enough and couldn't drink anymore.
But the man was willing to let him go so easily, and added Old Man Li, "Don't be afraid if you're drunk, I have a room here." Immediately, Li Le couldn't refuse.
In a daze, Li Le only felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning for a while, and then he slipped under the table and was unconscious......
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in bed. I sat up and rubbed my head, only to remember that I was drunk just now, and I only remembered that I was carried in in a daze, and the back one was already broken!
Looking at the time, it was almost four o'clock, and I really didn't feel it at all.
Walking out of the door of the room, he saw that the hall downstairs was already much empty, and the rest were basically people from the Li family, gathering together, talking in twos and threes.
Seeing Li Le coming downstairs, the old man asked with a smile, "Awake?"
"Hmmm! I can't drink enough, and I get drunk after two or three glasses. After bothering for so long, it's time for me to go back! β
"Come, come, come! It's still early, so I'll sit down with the old man and talk for a while. β
Seeing Old Man Li patting the sofa and waving to him, Li Le could only dispel the idea of leaving.
Seeing that such a large family was looking at him, he himself was slightly restrained.
"Here, here's your win, put it away!" Seeing that the old man handed over two bank cards, Li Le remembered the matter of Caitou, he took his own, and the remaining one did not move.
"Old man, the kid gambled on your birthday today, it's really not right, I don't want this lottery!"
As soon as he heard this, the old man immediately glared, "What does this mean?" It's hard for me to be an old man, and I can't do it if I want your junior's money, just take it if it's yours, and then my mother-in-law's, believe it or not, I'll kick your ass directly, old man. β
These words immediately made him feel a little embarrassed in his heart, this old man is really a straight temper, and then he didn't say anything, and took the card of the color head, only to see that there was a small note on the back, which seemed to be a password.
After a slight instigation, he casually threw it into his purse, and then sat down.
"I heard Siyun say that you can also nuclear carving?" As soon as Li Le's buttocks touched the sofa, the old man looked at him with some curiosity and asked.
"Huh! It's a little bit of a good idea, but the craftsmanship is not too fine! β
"You kid, you're still pretending to be modest in front of my old man. I can see the nuclear carving you gave to Siyun, but the word "not refined" is not very appropriate! You are so young, but you have such a solid foundation on both skills at the same time, I am really curious! β
Sensing everyone's curiosity, Li Le also knew what to say, so he scratched his head and pretended to be embarrassed.
Old Man Li said that he actually wanted to know how Li Le learned these two crafts, or where he learned them. He really wanted to know the answer in his heart, but he was embarrassed to ask so directly, after all, this belonged to his personal **.
threw out that sentence to let Li Le say it smoothly, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing him speak, he understood that Li Le was unwilling to mention it.
And at this moment, Li Le's heart is also a little depressed about such a scene, not that he is unwilling to say it. But the experience of rebirth, coupled with the matter of the carved spirit, has transcended the boundaries of reality.
I'm afraid that even if they tell the truth, others will only think that they are fooling them, and it is better not to say it.
"You're in the same class as Siyun?" Seeing that Li Le didn't want to say it, the old man didn't insist on it anymore, and then changed the topic.
"Hmmm! But now I've dropped out. β
"Dropping out? Are you going to school in Kyoto? In that case, I can put you in the same school as Siyun! β
Hearing this, Li Le was slightly stunned. The meaning of the old man's words feels a little strange, is he ready to match himself and Li Siyun, but he doesn't know about having a girlfriend?
looked at Li Siyun, only to see that her eyes were slightly dodgy, and Li Le knew that this girl definitely didn't tell Old Man Li about it. Then, in the same way, Li Chuhong and Li Changzong both made a hint of helplessness, and Li Le knew that Li Siyun must have asked them to hide this matter.
At the lunch banquet, he was surprised why the old man favored him so much, and his feelings were that he regarded himself as his grandson-in-law! If not, how could you introduce so many military bigwigs to yourself.
He didn't understand Li Siyun's feelings for him, but he was already a person with a girlfriend, how could he accept it.
After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Old man, I dropped out of school because I planned to go out to do some business or something, and when I made some money, I was ready to marry my girlfriend!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Siyun's body trembled instantly, and her heart seemed to be shrouded in darkness, completely losing its light.
She didn't tell her old man, she just had a little hope in her heart. The old man's words just now surprised her, and she faintly looked forward to Li Le's answer in her heart. She realized that she had been telling the old man about Li Le in his ear these days, which might have made the old man aware of his thoughts, so she had today's tactful matchmaking.
But Li Le's words directly pointed out the fact that he had a girlfriend, and even secretly pointed out the fact that the two of them were impossible.
Feeling that her tears seemed to be about to flow uncontrollably, Li Siyun hurriedly turned around and ran towards the room upstairs.
The old man was also slightly stunned at first, and then when he saw his granddaughter's appearance, he understood something. After all, such a thing can't be forced, and it's not good for him to say anything.
But at this moment, there is someone who has to jump out, it is Li Tianshuo, who was made disgraced by Li Le just now.
"Okay, you kid, are you playing with our family Siyun's feelings? You really ate the courage of the ambitious leopard, when my Li family is empty, you see that I can't teach you a good lesson today! β
Li Tianshuo stroked his cuffs and walked towards Li Le. In his opinion, this is really an opportunity for him to get back on the field, and everyone saw Li Siyun's expression just now. He would not say anything if he came forward at this time, and with his skills in the army for several years, he believed that the chubby boy opposite was definitely a dish to be kneaded by himself.
"Go back!" Just when he was in a state of schadenfreude, there was a sudden loud roar, which frightened him into a spasm, and then he saw the old man's angry face with a cold knife-like look.
As a junior of the Li family, who is the most afraid of at home, it is definitely not around the old man.
Scraped by that cold gaze, Li Tianshuo suddenly felt like he was in a cold cellar, and his hot blood instantly cooled to the lowest point.
At this moment, Li Tianshuo didn't even have the courage to look up at the old man. With a stomach full of grievances and tremors, he quickly reflexively hid back in the crowd.
Hearing the old man's anger, Li Le also felt helpless, and then said goodbye to the old man, "Old man Li, the kid is quite disturbed today, and I don't want to go, so I will leave first, and come back to make amends to you another day!" β
With that, he turned around and walked out of the compound.
Looking at his back, Old Man Li didn't make a sound to keep him, and he didn't inquire about this matter clearly today. This was unexpected.
Li Le, who walked out of the door at this moment, also sighed in his heart, he actually didn't want to hurt Li Siyun. Because of Liu Yunyao's words that time, a set of ebony carvings he made for him is still hidden in his room and has not been given away.
But if such a hazy relationship drags on for a long time, the damage will be greater, and it is better to break it off now than to be heartbroken at that time.
Sighing slightly, Li Le only hoped that she would be able to come out quickly.
Back in the villa, Liu Yunyao was sitting on the sofa talking to Liu's mother, and when she saw him walk in, she stood up and greeted him.
When she was about to get closer, Liu Yunyao suddenly covered her nose and took a step back, "What a big smell of wine, how much wine have you drunk?" β
"Eh, the old man of the Li family has a big birthday, and I can't help it!" Then Li Le will tell him what happened.
After listening, Liu Yunyao stared at her beautiful eyes and asked flatly, "You mean to say you, you went on such a trip today, and you earned a million back?"
Li Le took out the card from his purse, and then spread his hands a little, indicating that it was indeed the case.
At this moment, even Mother Liu couldn't sit still, one million was basically an astronomical amount for them. But it seemed to take less than an afternoon at LΓͺle's place. This had to surprise them.
Now counted, Li Le's assets have more than 2 million, and two months ago, he was still a person running for 20,000 yuan.
Compared with Liu's mother's surprise, Liu Yunyao had a flat face, and by the way, Li Le made less money in the future, after all, he came from gambling. She hopes that Li Le can rely on his own ability to create wealth properly.
The relationship has now become stolen money in her heart, and for such Liu Yunyao, Li Le is also a little depressed.
Since coming to Kyoto, Liu Yunyao's temperament suddenly seems to have changed, different from the previous weakness, as if there is a feeling that she can be indifferent to anything and can see through anything.
For such a change, Li knew that it was Ran Hongling's reason. After all, she is the only one who has the most contact with her. Sometimes even Li Le herself is a little weak in the face of such Liu Yunyao, as if her words and deeds let her lead her.
To be honest, he hoped that Liu Yunyao would become like this. If she leaves after a year, she may not be able to take care of her for a long time, but this change allows her to better protect herself.
In the evening, Li Tiannan made a phone call, one was to thank Li Le for making an inkstone for him, and the other was to ask Li Le to go out tomorrow night to express his gratitude. When Li Le asked how Li Siyun was, Li Tiannan told him that the girl had locked herself in her room all afternoon, and now she didn't come out, and he didn't know what was going on.
For such a result, Li Le no longer asked anything. I'll just make an appointment to go out tomorrow and talk about it in detail.
Old Man Li's birthday has ended, and he has done everything he needs to do. As for Li Siyun's matter, he only expressed his helplessness slightly, if someone in the Li family had any opinion on him because of this matter, there was no way to do it.
and Liu Yunyao have gone all the way, and the two are not just a couple. From the assassination incident in Jingzhou, Liu Yunyao blocked a knife for herself, and when she went to the hospital to exchange blood, the two were already an inseparable whole.
In any case, he will never let down Liu Yunyao in his life, which also contains the promise he has made to the deceased father Liu.
Not long after Li Tiannan's phone hung up, Li Changzong's phone also followed, and the same was about Li Le's coming out to gather.
Li Le naturally would not refuse such a request, but just postponed the time by one day. He was quite curious about Li Changzong's identity. From the time he was in Jingzhou, Li Changzong's vague words made Li Le feel that this person was not simple.
Then the Sun family was assassinated, and the background of the Li family behind him also surfaced, but he left in a hurry, so Li Le never understood what kind of relationship he had with the Li family.
So he was also going to take this opportunity to ask about it.
After dinner in the evening, Li Le rested on the sofa for an hour or two, although he slept all afternoon by being drunk, but the overnight rush and today's competition still made him a little tired.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Le went upstairs and sneaked into Liu Yunyao's room.
