Chapter 344: It's Not a Good Time!
"Poof!!"
At this moment, someone sprayed rice.
Of course, among the people present, the only one who is likely to spray rice is judged by the style, and only Li Mengru may be it.
But the situation at this time is unthinkable to many people. -- It was Li Yingming who sprayed rice.
Li Yingming, who has shown a very majestic style since he came out just now, as Li Mengru's father, he actually sprayed rice.
"Uh...... Third Uncle...... You, are you alright?? ”
The silence was a little heartbreaking, and everyone remained silent, especially Li Mengru's eyes widened at this time, feeling so magically looking at his father, who has always been very serious. - Her attention was so concentrated that she didn't even hear what her cousin Li Qiankun was saying just now. Originally, she only vaguely heard Li Qiankun's words, but now, she didn't care about it at all, because Li Qiankun has always been this kind of fast talk, and many words come without going through the brain.
It's okay??
Chu Nan really wanted to cover his face now.
You Li Qiankun, your brain is really not enough, you can't see what your uncle means today, just want to have a simple meal? Identity is secondary, meeting is primary! Why don't you open this pot?
"Dad, what did my cousin say just now?"
At this time, Li Mengru blinked her eyes, as if she was a good baby, and said to her father.
Li Yingming secretly wiped a handful of sweat in his heart: "Oh, it's nothing, it seems to be like a friend of Chu Nan at first sight." ――Qiankun heard that you were at school before, and this Chu Nan kid helped you a lot, but he has always been very much like this friend who met you. ”
Li Yingming smoothly shifted the topic very lightly, and prevaricated casually, Li Mengru didn't notice too much, just sighed lightly, and stopped talking.
Next......
The atmosphere remained silent.
However, Li Qiankun, who was a little slow to react in hindsight, was also a little stunned to realize that he had just said the wrong thing after seeing the eyes that Li Yingming had quietly handed over, and his old face was flushed and he lay down and began to eat.
Chu Nan really felt that this kind of so-called big family meal, when eating, was too strenuous, the sitting posture had to be upright, the dishes and chopsticks had to be handled gently, and the sound of some dings should not be made as much as possible. - In short, Chu Nan felt that if he really wanted to make himself a so-called wealthy person in the future, it would really be better to take a sword and kill himself in a minute now.
Seemingly...... In any case, we must not let Li Badao's old man's wish succeed!
In a quiet atmosphere, dinner ended, Chu Nan really didn't have much appetite, no wonder, Li Mengru, who has always been rude and lively, was so well-behaved at home - this kind of environment made no one active. It's no wonder that Li Mengru would rather live with Xia Yuechan at school than go home more. This environmental atmosphere, for her character, can't be suppressed to death?
In fact, Chu Nan didn't know...... This kind of depressing atmosphere is not common, and Li Mengru is not so depressing at home.
Li Mengru is usually quite lively at home, although she will not be so rude, but she will not be as quiet as today. -- Mainly because it was too timely for Chu Nan to come today.
In the past two days, it happened that there were some serious contradictions in the Li family, or...... It's some kind of family crisis. Li Badao has three sons, Li Shengming, Li Ciming, and Li Mengru's father, Li Yingming.
These three brothers can be regarded as having cooperated for a long time and jointly supported the current Li family. But...... After the family slowly becomes stronger, the power at the helm of the family will be very ...... It's eye-catching.
Li Yingming and eldest brother Li Shengming are both very charitable characters, thinking that family and everything is prosperous, and the three brothers are together, regardless of each other, which is correct.
But the second child, Li Ciming doesn't think so, he feels ...... The family just needs one person to be at the helm, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, let alone three tigers!
Therefore, the eldest and third Li Shengming and Li Yingming have always been very close, because they are all in the same camp and have the same concept in their hearts. And this Li Qiankun is the son of the boss Li Shengming. Therefore, the relationship between Li Qiankun and Li Mengru is relatively good.
The current situation is that the second Li Ciming has begun a series of business confrontations against Li Shengming and Li Yingming, trying to engage in internal struggles and control the Li family at the helm of the market. Now that Li is domineering Old Man Li, he has long been ignoring the specific matters of the family, he is just concerned about the general situation of the family, and as for the helm of the family, he has already handed it over to the three sons.
But it's a pity that the infighting and disagreement between the three brothers have always been hidden in their hearts, and they have never been put on the table to talk about, so Old Man Li has never known about these things. Even in these days, the three brothers have begun to secretly compete with each other, but the old man still doesn't know. Because the three brothers seem to have reached a consensus, that is, no matter how much trouble they make, they can't tell the old man. And Uncle Zhao ...... These things are also clear, but this time, he took it upon himself to hide it from Old Man Li.
He knew very well that even if the old man came forward, he would not be able to solve anything......
Because, the contradiction between the three brothers, even if it does not break out now, will break out in the future, because a family only needs one person at the helm, which is an indisputable fact! ――Even if the old man came forward this time and solved the temporary crisis, can the old man solve the eternal crisis? The old man is very old, and when he leaves, the conflict will break out again!
Uncle Zhao has seen this very thoroughly.
And these days, the Li family is very bored with these things, including Li Mengru......
"Ahem, excuse me, excuse me...... Where is the restroom? Chu Nan really felt that the atmosphere was very uncomfortable, he thought to himself about going to the bathroom, and then when he came back, he would say hello and flash people, right?
With that, Chu Nan left the seat.
"Whew...... Is this the atmosphere and normalcy of the Li family? Oh my God, thanks to the fact that I rejected the marriage contract proposed by the old man back then, otherwise, I would have the heart to die! Chu Nan washed his face in the bathroom and was ready to go out to say goodbye.
However......
He was about to walk out of the bathroom when he suddenly ...... I heard a harsh and unfamiliar voice in the hall!!
"Yo! Where are they? What's going on today? What about entertaining guests? Haha, third uncle, you can't be greeting me, right? The shrill voice paused, then smiled, "Yo, Sister Xiaoru, you're getting more and more beautiful!" You didn't with boys at school, did you?? ”
