Chapter 68: An Inexplicable Misunderstanding

(Read more)

Li Mengnan smiled casually, noncommittal.

Anyway, this driver just has nothing to do to grind his teeth to relieve his boredom, and he doesn't really have any gossip about a passer-by like him, and explaining it will cause more problems.

The drivers who drive all the year round are all human spirits, where can they not see Li Mengnan's displeasure, the driver's eldest brother casually played a few haha, and after two sentences of weather, he shut up and stopped talking.

More than ten minutes later, the taxi turned into a slightly narrow two-lane road, the towering French plane trees on both sides of the road made the light in the car suddenly dim, and the sunlight sprinkled through the mottled gaps between the branches and leaves, looking at the verdant, as if in a European-style rural town, particularly quiet and serene.

After paying the fare and getting off the bus, Li Mengnan quickly found No. 88 Hehuan Road according to the address on the note.

Behind the three-meter-tall all-steel fancy iron gate is a small courtyard covering an area of more than 100 square meters, and the neat lawn exudes a strong fragrance of grass.

In the center of a circular fountain, a beautifully carved statue of a little angel is naughty belly pinching a small chirp to squirt a splash, what should be pure white stone color has been obviously yellowish, obviously an old thing.

In the center of this vibrant green background, stands a chic three-storey French-style villa with a red brick and gray roof, and a modern carving in the simple background.

If it is in first-tier cities such as Beidu and Shanghai, such an antique-level villa covering an area of hundreds of square meters and a single family is afraid that it will be sold at a sky-high price. Even if Sanshan City is only a third-tier city, the housing prices are far less than those in places like Shanghai in the northern capital, but it is a fool's dream to take down such a villa without 10 million foundations.

Li Mengnan now understands why the taxi driver just now heard him say that he was coming to Hehuan Road, and he had that strange expression - his 24k pure ** silk dress for the stall is indeed incompatible with this place where every inch of land is valuable.

Could it be that his father Li Hongming is actually a rich man?

Although Li Mengnan doesn't pay much attention to money and material, he doesn't have that kind of inexplicable moral cleanliness, and he can have a rich father to make him a rich second generation who can drag racing every day, and he doesn't mind throwing away his temperament and falling into depravity.

Able to eat lobster abalone wings on the top and pickles on the bottom, Li Mengnan's tenacity in survival adaptability is comparable to that of amoebic protozoa.

With the expectation of an incomparably better future, Li Mengnan took a deep breath and pressed the finger on the electronic doorbell heavily.

The doorbell rang softly waiting for music, and after a while, the camera above the door turned slightly, apparently someone was checking his identity, and then a slightly muffled old man's voice came from inside: "Are you from the School of Education of Tunghai University?" ”

Li Mengnan was stunned, and said in his heart, what is the situation, he was seen before he opened his mouth, is the doorbell of a large family still connected to the household registration system of the public security department? So high-tech?

"Uh...... I'm ......."

Li Mengnan was about to open his mouth to explain his intention, the doorbell's work indicator went out, and the door automatically slid a gap to both sides, just enough for one person to pass through.

Bypassing the fountain along the path paved with irregular marble slabs, Li Mengnan came to the double mahogany door of the villa, and before he could reach out and knock on the door, an old man with gray hair and a straight figure opened the door from the inside, looked Li Mengnan up and down a few expressionlessly, and let Li Mengnan into the house sideways.

Unlike the French style on the outside, the interior of this villa is not much retro, but instead has a clean and modern minimalist style, and the color palette is mostly white and light colors, which shows that the owner of the house should be a decisive and straightforward person, and maybe even a little cleanliness.

Moreover, as soon as Li Mengnan entered the hall, he noticed that there were two alert eyes, one high and one low, and quickly fell on him, and when he looked around, he saw two bodyguards in black suits standing at the entrances and exits of the corridor on the first and second floors, standing in a very strict posture, obviously from the army.

Li Mengnan was ushered into the living room by the old man who looked like a housekeeper, and a middle-aged maid who was not good-looking served a cup of tea to each of them.

"You're half an hour early." The old butler showed the watch on his wrist and looked down, "I appreciate your attitude, but your early is also taking up the employer's time in disguise, so please try to be on time next time." ”

Employer? Li Mengnan became more and more confused, could it be that he went to the wrong door? But this is obviously No. 88 Hehuan Road......

"Excuse me, is the owner here surnamed Li?" Li Mengnan felt that it was better to ask clearly before speaking.

The old housekeeper suddenly showed a hint of displeasure on his face, and replied: "Our wife's surname is Ding, and the master's surname is Li." ”

Wife? Master? This title feels good to cross...... If the background in the room could be changed, this posture would be like the door of a mansion with strict rules during the Republic of China.

Although Li Mengnan still doesn't know whether the male owner here is his biological father or not, at least the surname Li can be determined.

However, what made him feel a little strange was that he had just noticed that the old butler had obviously deliberately put the introduction of the hostess in front.

This is an extremely rare occurrence...... Perhaps, this is some unique local custom?

The old housekeeper took a symbolic sip of tea and gently put the teacup aside, got up and said to Li Mengnan: "Mrs. and the old man have gone out, and they will arrive home in about half an hour according to the schedule...... When the wife and the lord come back, they will interview you, and if you pass guò, you can sign the contract. ”

"Contract? What contract? ”

Li Mengnan probably understood when he heard this, obviously the other party happened to meet a student from Tunghai University today, and his uninvited arrival made the other party confuse him with the student he was interviewing, which caused the previous misunderstanding.

Li Mengnan was about to open his mouth to clarify the misunderstanding, but his eyes inadvertently fell on a small photo frame above the fireplace in the living room, and he couldn't leave it anymore.

It was a photo of a husband and wife.

The man in the photo is about forty years old, although his appearance is mediocre, his smile gives people a gentle feeling like a spring breeze; The woman in the photo is noble and beautiful, her skin and figure are well maintained, and she can hardly see the passage of time on her, and her face is still like a young woman in her early twenties.

Although Li Mengnan had never seen his biological father, he still recognized the man in the photo at a glance as his father Li Hongming!
