Chapter 262: The Old City Is Half-Drunk and Sleepless
,!
Grandpa was very peaceful when he left, with a faint arc on the corner of his mouth, and that night, everyone in the Li family came.
When I was tidying up his mattress, I found a yellowed photograph under his pillow of a young girl in a hat, smiling sweetly and happily, looking so cheerful and outgoing.
Levan told me it was her grandmother.
Grandmother? It's my grandma, too!
The old man can finally meet her...
In the past, in Shaanxi Province, the people in the village were superstitious, saying that the king of Hades would always leave a group of people when he accepted people, but he didn't expect that the old man had not survived this year after all, so he died.
After the old man was buried, everyone gathered at his house, and Li Yu's father invited lawyer Qin, who told everyone that the will must be signed by the bloodline of the four sons of the Li family to take effect in advance.
Li Zhixun slapped the table: "Ridiculous! Li Zhen and Li Ziluo are gone, isn't this a clear indication that they can't take effect in advance? ”
Lawyer Qin said in embarrassment that the will is protected by law, and he can only execute it in accordance with the terms.
Everyone was silent, but I was secretly frightened, and I finally knew what my grandfather meant when he left!
I suddenly turned my back to look out the window with my eyes moist, I thought he was old and confused, but I didn't expect him to be planning for me until he left.
If I have to distribute the inheritance now, I have no way to reveal my identity, Sun Hongshan will be more qualified than me to get Weiss's equity, or even if I don't give it to her, it will definitely not be my turn.
Grandpa deliberately arranged this way in order to let me get the part that the Li family deserved, and he gave me time, if one day I am sure that I can reveal my identity, I can make that will take effect in advance!
Until then, he chose to keep everyone waiting for my safety.
So, I'm afraid I have to find out who my birth mother is? What is the purpose of those who are trying to find me!! I have to unfreeze the old man's will before Ji Pingsheng makes a big move, otherwise the Li family will be constrained!
I suddenly turned to Lawyer Qin and said, "I hope that Lawyer Qin will keep the validity of the will confidential, and don't mention it to outsiders when you leave the door of Li's house." ”
Li Zhixun immediately reacted that Ji Pingsheng would definitely inquire over there, and also advised, but Li Fan kept staring at me, slowly walked to my side, turned his head sideways, and whispered to me: "The old man is such a shrewd person, he won't do such a headless thing, what do you think?" ”
Li Fan's eyes kept rolling on my face, and I looked at her sideways and shrugged, "God knows." ”
During the old man's funeral, Nie An rushed back once, I asked him when he planned to marry Liang Wei, he didn't speak, came and went in a hurry, didn't stop long, didn't even bother to say hello to Li Fan, went back to his parents' house and rushed back to the south.
Just after the Spring Festival, I issued three employment letters in a row, using Zhou Jin, Yang Qingfang and Jiang Yi to block the vacant positions, and it only took one year to complete all the major changes within the M Hotel, which shocked the entire group.
Li Fan joked to me: "Are you clearly declaring war on Lao Jitou?" Rest assured, I can be your strong spy. ”
The company has a new name for me, and they call me Iron Lady behind their backs.
Sometimes, I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself, my face is still the same face, and some things have long since been unrecognizable.
After a year, Sun Hongshan came to me to make trouble, and she seemed to be even more unscrupulous when the old man died, and rushed directly to the headquarters, but was stopped by Xiao Yang, and she shouted on the whole floor, I was really annoyed with a phone call to let Xiao Yang let her in.
As soon as she walked into my office, she spoke to me in that domineering tone, and from beginning to end I was like a clown, leaning back in her chair and half-squinting her head as she vented her old woman's grievances.
Although her words were harsh, I didn't get angry, a woman who was strong everywhere when she was young, when she was old, she watched what originally belonged to her inexplicably come into the hands of a girl, and her unwillingness and annoyance were actually understandable.
It's just that I understand her, but she doesn't understand me, seeing that I have been looking at her indifferently, the more I talk, the more angry I become, I walked directly in front of me, and smashed her precious bag on me, I didn't dodge and blocked it with my arm in time, and I suddenly felt a pain in my elbow.
She had already walked up to me and was about to reach out to grab me, but I suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist, grabbed her and said fiercely, "You're not reconciled, are you?" I can tell you that the current M hotel is a mess, the internal backbone basically left the company a year ago, the group Lao Ji kept trying to install people over, this kind of internal and external troubles, if you have the confidence to revitalize, I will immediately throw the whole burden to you, I will ask you! Do you have what it takes to take it? ”
Sun Hongshan was stunned for a moment, the hand that grabbed my wrist gradually loosened, and her expression was a little sluggish, I shook off her wrist fiercely, and she stumbled.
I spoke again: "You settle down, what did Li Zi do to you when he fell, I still eat and drink for you according to that standard, and you can continue to maintain your glamorous appearance and noble status!" ”
After that, I picked up her expensive bag and threw it in front of her: "If you make trouble like today, I dare to guarantee that you have nothing but the title of daughter-in-law of the Li family!" ”
I squinted my eyebrows, and then slowly raised my chin and stared at her proudly, the unwillingness in her eyes was like a raging fire as if it was burning her whole body!
If Sun Hongshan were twenty years younger, maybe I might not be able to overwhelm her in momentum today, but people always have to serve the old, and it is impossible for her to return to the business world after she is over six years old, and her era has long ended.
Eventually, she picked up her bag on the floor and strode out of the office without looking at me again.
Until she left the door, her back was still straight.
I don't know how long I haven't really laughed, the most expression is to twist my eyebrows to deal with big and small things, I always have an inexplicable sense of oppression, the war between me and Ji Pingsheng is still in secret, but one day it will be moved to the table, I just want to make M Hotel stronger before that day comes!
I used to be fragile and could be sad for a long time because of someone else's words, but now I suddenly realize that it seems that there is no more tribulation in this world that can destroy me!
I got into the habit of drinking, and when I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I would sit alone by the window with a glass of red wine, half-drunk and guarding the empty city, waiting for the old man.
The morning and evening are falling, the spring flowers are blooming, the earth is reviving again, the hibiscus flowers in the courtyard have finally opened one after another, and the whole Boer Bay is filled with the fragrance of hibiscus flowers, just like... He was always there for me.
The memo will still remind me on that day every year, but this year I don't have to worship Lu Qianyu anymore, thinking of him, I took out my mobile phone and hesitated for a long time not knowing what to send to him, and finally I sent a few words to the past: I wish you all the best.
It wasn't until the evening that he called me out of the blue, and it was the first time we had been in touch since I returned home, and he asked me, "Did you sleep?" ”
I said, "No, what time is it over there?" ”
He told me, "Two o'clock in the afternoon. ”
There was silence between us again, and then he suddenly asked me, "Is that hot and sour noodle shop still in front of the school?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud: "It's closed early, you can still remember the events of hundreds of years ago." ”
He said, "I'm going to tell you, I'm in the City of London right now and suddenly remember that smell, will you laugh at me?" ”
I said categorically, "Yes, I'll treat you when you come back." ”
He paused for a moment and said, "Good! ”
Since then, the two of us will occasionally talk on the phone, most of them are when he asks about the weather in our country, I ask him about food abroad, he never mentions the accident to me, even if I occasionally ask, he is just silent, and gradually I don't ask, but every time I hear his voice, I am somewhat comforted, like finally finding an old friend.
……
Before the summer came, I finally threw away my hat and wig, and my short ear-length hair stuck to my ears, and Li Fan always said that I looked innocent like a middle school student without makeup.
But I... It's time to run for three...
In June, I went on a business trip to Shenzhen, and when I came back, I met Lu Qianyu at the airport gate, he and his blue-eyed assistant got six large boxes, and the car was picked up by a Mercedes-Benz car, and the luggage could not be stuffed in.
I saw him from a distance, dragged my small suitcase towards him, and patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Mr. Lu, immigrants?" ”
He turned around in some surprise, and when he saw that it was me, he was stunned for a moment.
I enthusiastically opened my arms to him, and he froze, and then the void slapped me on the back.
I smiled at him, walked to the side of the van and said to him, "Do you think it's good to recognize your old classmates at this time?" ”
He smiled slantingly, and the black skinny T-shirt and baggy slacks suddenly made me feel as if he was really back.
Xiao Yang helped them get the rest of their luggage to our car, and on the way out of the airport, I asked him if he planned to return to China for permanent residence?
He told me that the Council had sent him, and I quipped: "The British Empire is interested in us?" ”
Lu Qianyu stared at me and suddenly smiled slyly: "You still owe me a meal." ”
I nodded, "I didn't forget." ”
I asked Lu Qianyu, "What's your assistant's name?" ”
He said to me, "Tom."
"Huh? Tom? That Tom and Jerry's Tom? ”
He leaned over and whispered to me, "That's the cat." ”
Then we all turned back to his assistant with a malicious smile.
His assistant looked at us with blue eyes and a bewildered expression.
I thought they would stay in a hotel when they just returned to China, and when I asked him if he needed my arrangement, he shook his head and said that he had an old house in Rongcheng.
It wasn't until the car turned up a big slope that I realized that it was really an old house, and I felt that it was going to be completely covered by creepers, and the rusty courtyard door, Tom was stunned to open it with a lot of effort, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and I don't know how long it had been abandoned.
They moved their luggage in, I said wait for them in the yard, I don't know why, I especially don't want to go in, the whole house gives me a very depressed feeling, probably because no one has lived in it for a long time.
Xiao Yang also went to help, I wandered around the yard alone, the yard was very large, only a stone path led to the door of the house, the rest was all dirt, a breeze blew, and suddenly there was a familiar taste mixed with the nose, a little bitter and sweet.
I followed the smell into the weeds, and found that there were many strange-shaped plants in the weeds, I squatted down and sniffed them, and I didn't know what they were, and I walked to the side of the house unconsciously by the weeds, and saw a seesaw nailed with wooden boards, which had been eroded by rain all year round, and had corroded decently, and fungi had grown in the middle of the boards.
I walked over slowly, looking at this seesaw curiously, suddenly an invisible force made me unconsciously raise my hand to touch, and suddenly my body seemed to be rushed through the whole body by a strange current, I withdrew my hand like an electric shock, and ran backwards frantically, like someone chasing me behind me, until I panicked and bumped into Lu Qianyu who came out of the house, he quickly helped me steady and asked me: "What's wrong?" ”
I turned around with a pale face and looked at it: "It's nothing, it seems to be static." ”
Lu Qianyu smiled: "Static electricity in the summer? ”
I retracted my gaze and looked up at the black house, like a dark cloud hanging over my heart, suddenly my heart felt a heavy oppression, I hurriedly said to him, "I'll get in the car and wait for you." ”
