Chapter 8: Homecoming
"Because of Wu Gang's betrayal...... The joint persecution of the four major families...... The Shen clan overturned in an instant...... Caught in an irreparable crisis. ”
"The night before Cangsheng committed suicide, he told me to rest assured that he had found a way to save the situation. He had been depressed for a few months, but that night he seemed to suddenly be more than ten years younger and talked more, and told me a lot of trivial things about our family of four living together......"
"I also scolded you kid, saying that your kid left home for seven years, and there was no news, and when you came back, I must kick your ass hard."
"How do you know that the way to live is to reach an agreement with the four major families...... In exchange for his suicide, I lived with the gentleman. Because only when he dies can the four major families accept the Shen family's huge inheritance more smoothly. ”
Old building living room.
Su Lan pulled Li Ang to sit on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and briefly told him everything that happened three years ago.
After listening to this, Li Ang said astringently:
"Mother-in-law, it's the child's fault. If only I could come back soon......"
He can imagine that at that time, his father-in-law, at the same time faced the betrayal of the people around him, the joint persecution of the four major families, and perhaps the operation of the mastermind behind the scenes-
There are only old wives and young daughters around him, and it is impossible to share anything for him.
If he could let go of his knot earlier, he would have been three years ago, and it would not be too difficult to deal with the four major families.
Unfortunately, how many ifs are there in this world?
Su Lan looked at Li Ang, his eyes were full of kindness:
"What's wrong with you, silly boy. At that time, your stepfather's opponent was too strong, and if you came back, what could you change? Ang'er, your father-in-law died so miserably, do you think that Jun and I don't want to avenge him? But the current four major families, where can I, an old woman, a gentleman, and a weak woman, shake it? ”
"You don't have to say anything about revenge, you can't do it. Now that you're back, let's live a good life, and be worthy of your father's spirit in heaven. ”
"Mother-in-law......"
For a moment, Li Ang wanted to tell Su Lan what height he was standing now, what kind of power he had, and it was just a matter of his words to destroy the four major families.
But when the words came to his lips, he blocked them back.
There are some things that there is no need to say.
Just do it.
For the two women, Su Lan and Shen Junwu, living well is worthy of the righteous father.
He can't.
He's a man.
The only way to do this is to let the speakers of the four major families wear linen and filial piety to their father-in-law, carry the coffin and rebury it, and then take the 3,000 heads of the four major families to "build a view of Beijing".
is not in vain as a son of man.
"Mom, there's a guest at home?"
A voice came from outside the living room.
A young woman walks into the living room with a young man.
Leon looked up—
The woman is naturally Shen Junwu.
I haven't seen her for ten years, she has grown up and grown, and she is a beautiful embryo, and her appearance is more and more eye-catching.
"Sister Jun."
Leon got up.
"You...... Are you Leon? ”
There was sluggishness in Shen Junwu's eyes, and there was also astonishment.
Like Su Lan, it is difficult for her to associate the majestic man in front of her with the withdrawn "wild child" in her impression.
"Long time no see."
Leon greeted her.
He had already let go of those gaps.
As an elder brother, how can he be as knowledgeable as his sister?
"You...... What are you doing here? ”
The excitement in Shen Junwu's eyes flashed away, and her eyes became indifferent, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Junwu, how do you speak, Ang'er is your brother."
Su Lan scolded.
"I don't have a brother like that."
Shen Junwu said coldly:
"Three years ago, my father jumped off the building and died, and then you became seriously ill, and the four major families joined forces to persecute us, and we couldn't live anymore, at that time, where was he?"
Li Ang was not a person of good words, and Shen Junwu's indifference also stung him a little, and the atmosphere became quite awkward for a while.
"Yo, it's really you, Leon, I don't know if you still remember me?"
Beside Shen Junwu, the well-dressed and handsome young man said.
"Are you...... Xiao Hai who lives on the street? ”
Leon said uncertainly.
"Haha, it's not who I am. Do you remember, when I was a child, I used to bully the gentleman, you just pressed me in the pond and beat me hard, your kid is too dark, that really beat me to death. ”
Xiao Hai laughed.
Then he took Shen Junwu's little hand:
"Li Ang, you must not have imagined that Junwu has become my girlfriend now. In the future, we will be a family, and I have to call you uncle. ”
"This ......"
Li Ang didn't know what to say for a while.
In memory, Xiao Hai is the son of Xiao Million, the richest man in this area.
When he was a child, he liked to form gangs and factions, and he was very domineering.
It's like a role like a child king.
once bullied Shen Junwu.
Li Ang knew, and beat them twelve by himself, and finally pressed Xiao Hai into the pond and beat him to death.
If it weren't for the adults passing by, Xiao Hai would really be beaten to death.
Fighting is such a thing, Li Ang has been very talented since he was a child.
Hand thief black.
"And this kind of thing?"
Shen Junwu wondered.
"Why, Leon didn't tell you?"
Xiao Hai asked rhetorically.
He also thought that Shen Junwu had known for a long time.
Shen Junwu thought about it carefully, and in her memory, there was indeed one time when Li Ang ran back covered in scars and covered in mud.
Ask him what happened, and he won't say.
Just hiding in the room like a lone wolf, silently licking his wounds.
At that time, she didn't think too much, but was very angry, complaining that Li Ang made the house stink, and she was really a wild child.
Only now do I know the truth -
It turned out that he was going to help himself vent?
She looked at Li Ang, with some apology in her eyes, and said lightly:
"Since you're here, let's stay for a meal, I'll go stir-fry."
Shen Junwu changed into an apron and went into the kitchen.
Su Lan said to Li Ang:
"After your stepfather left, I moved back to the old building with you. The four major families didn't trouble us anymore, but many small characters appeared, holding the so-called IOUs, and kept saying that the common people owed them money, forcing me and Jun Wu to almost go to a dead end, Xiao Hai, this kid helped us a lot......"
Leon knew it in his heart.
This is probably the reason why Shen Junwu and Xiao Hai are together now.
He couldn't tell what was feeling in his heart.
Of course, he hoped that Shen Junwu could live happily.
But he subconsciously felt that Xiao Hai was not so simple.
"Ang'er, I'll go and help Junwu wash the vegetables, and you can talk to Xiao Hai."
Su Lan also entered the kitchen.
Only Li Ang and Xiao Hai were left in the living room.
"Are you going to leave when you come back this time?"
Xiao Hai asked.
In the tone, there was a hint of hostility.
"Don't leave for now, there are some things to do."
Leon replied.
Xiao Hai said coldly:
"I remember that when Uncle Shen was still there, he said more than once that he would marry you to you. When you come back this time, you won't be a thief, and you still want to marry a gentleman, right? ”
"From beginning to end, I have regarded Jun Wu as a sister."
Li Ang said lightly.
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
Xiao Hai stared at Li Ang:
"You think you've just come back from retirement. I don't think I have much money and no diploma, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a job. Can you be worthy of a gentleman? ”
"I'm not going to play with you. I don't want to see you again. In this way, you make a price, how much does it cost, and you can disappear? ”
His father was Xiao Million more than ten years ago, and now his net worth has long exceeded 100 million.
Xiao Hai said these words with confidence.
"You're here...... Is there a problem? ”
Li Ang was silent for a while, and finally pointed to Xiao Hai's head.
