Chapter 41. Closing the net
A week later, Left Bank Cafe.
When Su Minghai saw Li Mu, he wanted to raise a smile, but after trying a few times, he really couldn't pull it out and gave up.
"Thank you for finding Jingwan, but it's too late. Interested in hearing a story? Su Minghai smiled weakly, as if he had accepted the result of losing both the Li family and "Minghua" at the same time, calm and incredible, not as arrogant as usual.
Li Mu paused to leave, turned around and pulled out a chair and sat down, raised an eyebrow, and motioned for him to continue.
"You know what? I didn't have a mother when I was a child, and she volunteered to go with someone. I was still young, and many of my memories are blurred, except that the day my mother left, it was early summer twilight, the shadows of the trees were long, and the sunset was as bleak as it is today.
She cooked a pot of porridge before leaving, my sister was lying on the bed with a high fever, and she swept all the money away, and there was not a penny at home, and I sat alone in the verandah looking at the yard, as if I was thinking about something, but I didn't think about anything. The porridge boiled, and the house seemed to be quiet and only I was left.
The whole world seems to be covered with a layer of white mist, and I can't see the world clearly and I can't see myself, but I feel that I am still stepping on solid ground under my feet, which proves that I am still alive and has nothing but myself.
At first, I hated her, hated her for being greedy for vanity, and since she didn't love us, why did she give birth to me and my sister to suffer in this world? Later, I stopped hating. Because no one can influence the choices of others and decide the fate of others, I began to understand her choice, poverty can really drive a person crazy.
But I hate my father.
So, he shouted "help" in the river, and I, from the shore, watched him drown in the river......"
"Why?" Li Mu knew about this, but he couldn't guess his motives.
He looked at Su Minghai's indifferent appearance and asked, he knew that he would say.
From a psychological point of view, what a person lacks will be projected onto the people around him, and he will feel that other people around him also feel that they are lacking. So he will constantly express that he is actually not lacking, and he will pass by accidentally. As a result, what he constantly expresses is what he lacks the most. If you see what a person feels is lacking, you can just look at what he keeps emphasizing.
Su Minghai, who has always been arrogant and self-esteem, took the initiative to uncover his scars and left behind his previous arrogance, which was really a bit unexpected to him, obviously, Su Minghai's psychological defense line has been destroyed.
This was the most vulnerable moment for him, and it was also the moment that Li Mu had been waiting for.
"Why, I don't know, my brain is hot." Su Minghai took a sip of water, calmed down his slightly excited emotions, and continued, "At that time, I was always thinking: Why should my sister and I earn money from hard work for him to drink and gamble? Why should we be beaten by him and not fight back? Why did we have to provide for him when he grew up like this?
Is it because he is stronger than us?
Later, I finally figured it out, no, because he is an adult, his fists are harder than us, and his status is higher than our two children. So, I thought, when I grow up, why don't I wait until he gets old? Then I can pass the test, and I can run away with my sister and never come back! So I waited, I was still young, and I waited. But I was still wrong, he was a demon in human skin, and he actually exported his sister as gambling money and sold it to others to pay off gambling debts!
I told my sister to flee overnight to other cities that didn't know us. The world is so big, and I have hands and feet, I don't believe that there is no place in this world that can accommodate our sister and brother.
However, I was still naΓ―ve enough to think that it would be safe to escape to the station, completely unaware that it was just a small town, and the people there were more or less related to each other, and it was not too easy to find someone.
Most importantly, I forgot that he had the closest blood relationship with us, and although I didn't want to keep his blood at all, he was our father, and the status of "father" alone was enough for him to teach us a lesson......"
"By the time we fled to the station, he had already received the news and had taken someone to arrest us there. I was beaten up by him and fainted, and I don't know what happened after that. All I know is that it had been two days since I woke up, and my sister was gone. Su Minghai's mood was a little low, "When I found her, she was already married, an old bachelor in her sixties who had died of her daughter-in-law, an old hooligan......"
Li Mu didn't speak, he had seen the girl's photo, clear and beautiful, indeed, it's a pity.
"So, since then, I have learned what it means to be 'justifiable', as long as I marry Li Jingwan, everything in the Li family will be mine!" Su Minghai smiled bitterly, with a faint look of remembrance in his eyes, "I have always hoped to have the strength to protect everything I have, but at the same time, I also know that I am nothing without the Li family and "Minghua"!" β
Without looking at Li Mu's expression, Su Minghai continued: "I have seen what 'power' is and what 'power' is, even if it is love, it will be discolored in front of interests, how can I just let it go?" β
Li Mu listened quietly to Su Minghai's account of his identity and experience, without the anger, sadness and confusion when he heard it on the phone, except for calm and calm, until the man finally said in a fanatical and firm tone: "I thought at least you knew me!" β
So, you'll help me one last time, okay?
Su Minghai looked at Li Mu earnestly, he still didn't say the last sentence out of the dignity of a man, but he believed that Li Mu would understand what he meant.
Li Mu smiled faintly, sure enough, he still couldn't change his arrogant nature and was self-centered.
Is it because he has been hurt that he can use this as an excuse to recklessly harm other innocent people, and other people deserve to be used by him?
For example, Yang Yu, who lost his relatives, such as Li Jingwan, who was imprisoned, and even himself who used to be really "affectionate" when sitting in front of him now......
Strength comes from within, and a truly strong person will be strong inside, not just relying on the accumulation of external objects to disguise.
Talking about protection, in the final analysis, Su Minghai is just for his own selfish desires.
Li Mu was very sober, Su Minghai actually loved only himself from beginning to end, and the so-called admiration for him only came from the desire to conquer, so he changed his plan before.
Now, it's time to close the net.
Li Mu was silent for a moment, shook his head, smiled on his eyebrows, and stood up with a leisurely posture: "You feel that the whole world can't understand you, so you never try to make others understand." You feel like the whole world has abandoned you, but you don't realize that you abandoned the whole world first. You are disappointed in others, but you are disappointed without knowing that others are disappointed in you. You don't trust others, but you don't know that their distrust is because you're not sincere. So, I don't understand and I don't want to understand. β
A flash of disappointment flashed in Su Minghai's eyes, and seeing that Li Mu was about to leave, he hurriedly chased him out: "Can you give me a ride?" β
Li Mu raised his head and looked at Su Ming, Su Ming mustered up the courage to look back at those calm and indifferent eyes, Li Mu stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, where do you want to go?"
"Forest Park, do you remember?"
Li Mu smiled, did not answer, and was silent all the way.
When they arrived at the place, Su Minghai didn't get out of the car for a long time, and Li Mu didn't make a sound to urge, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window - this was the place where they met for the first time.
Su Minghai smiled bitterly and broke the silence: "Come down with me for a walk." β
The scenery of the forest park is indeed extremely beautiful, but those who view it may not be in the mood to appreciate it.
The two did not walk side by side, but one after the other, Li Mu walked in front without saying a word, and Su Minghai followed behind silently.
Silence spread between the two, and Su Minghai suddenly shouted: "Li Mu! β
When Li Mu turned around, Su Minghai suddenly stepped forward and hugged the person, with a plea in his voice: "Just let me hug it for a while, okay?"
Li Mu looked at this person's embarrassed appearance, hesitated for a moment, and the hand that he wanted to push away stopped in mid-air.
Feeling the arm around him slowly tightening, Li Mu moved, and did not deliberately struggle out of Su Minghai's arms, anyway, there are not many people in this place, and when he rests in the afternoon, it is even more sparsely populated.
But he still spoke, and said lightly: "Can you let go?" β
Su Minghai didn't seem to hear it, he still held on tightly, Li Mu pulled him away with force, the man's body stiffened for a moment, and his face was full of tears.
"Li Mu, I'm sorry ......"
γDing. Side quest 2: Get the male protagonist - Su Ming, Aimer has been completed, get 300 points]
......
"Brother!"
Li Cheng was stunned after he spoke, he didn't know why he was suddenly a little flustered in his heart, and he stopped Li Mu before his brain could react.
Li Mu blinked, quietly put the key in his hand into his shirt pocket, and smiled: "Is there something wrong?" β
Li Cheng's eyes rolled, and he said in a hurry: "It's okay, I just want to eat the duck collarbone of the "Juewei Fang", can you bring me some when you come back?" β
"Got it, little glutton, I'll come back and bring it to you!"
But my heart is still unstable: "Can you not go, or can someone else do it for you?" β
"Miles came to talk about it in person, I'm afraid others don't have enough weight, what's wrong?"
"It's just that I suddenly felt a little flustered, as if something bad was about to happen."
"It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go, you wait for me at home."
"Then you must be back before nine o'clock, don't forget." Li Cheng did not forget to advise.
Li Mu nodded and said affirmatively: "I never say what I promise easily, but if I say it, I will definitely not break my promise." β
Li Mu went out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Li Cheng has become very clingy recently, in addition to doing business, he has no time to leave himself in his free time, and he has not relaxed until the past few days, should it really be said that it is the intuition of small animals?
Li Mu talked to Miles about the follow-up cooperation, arranged his hotel in S City, and said goodbye to him.
After watching the elevator door that Miles took to return to the hotel room close, he turned to the sneaky black shadow behind him and said helplessly, "Come out." β
The tracking skills are so poor, half of the head is exposed outside the pillar, and I can't pretend not to see it if I want to.
Oops, was discovered.
Li Cheng reluctantly moved out from behind the pillar and smiled awkwardly: "Brother......"
"What do you follow me?"
"I ...... I...... I'm afraid you'll steal ....... on the road."
Li Mu didn't believe his words, he had just finished talking to someone, and he hadn't had time to go to the "Juewei Fang" at all, heh, such a bad excuse could only deceive the ghost.
"Little glutton, I haven't had time to buy your cat food yet!"
Li Mu looked at Li Cheng with satisfaction because of his words, his face changed in an instant, and he smiled very unkindly.
"Brother, are you kidding?" Li Cheng is full of black lines.
"Well, you're just kidding me." Li Mu was in a very good mood, and he no longer cared about what he was being followed before, anyway, it wasn't once or twice.
It's just that he still has a feeling of being watched, is it an illusion?
Li Mu lowered his eyes and pondered, originally thought it was Li Cheng, but now it seems that it is not. Controlling the desire to turn back, he hooked the corners of his lips: "It's kind of interesting." β
In some dim corridors, a pair of eyes around the corner looked at the two of them obscurely, looked at the figures of the two leaving, and whispered to himself: "I don't want to either, it's all ...... you forced me"
Li Mu saw the message on the mobile phone slightly hooked the corners of his lips, heh, can't you sit still?
"Can you get out of the car in front? I remember I had some things left in the hotel and had to go back. β
