Chapter 126: New Year
This year's Spring Festival is in February.
Because Leng Lingshan had just been gone for a month, Leng Huaiyuan was not allowed to arrange family banquets at home, and the celebrations in previous years were also exempted.
Many families who want to have a good relationship with Duna know that they are newly mourning, and they go to celebrate the Spring Festival at this time, for fear that it will only backfire, so they also know each other and do not bother.
So this year's Spring Festival, Qingpu had a particularly dull time.
Leng Huaiyuan did not indulge in grief, which surprised everyone.
In fact, he has lived to this age and has experienced too many things that are more shocking than the Leng Lingshan incident.
Seeing that the family was still a little unable to come out, and wanted to suppress restraint in front of him, Leng Huaiyuan asked the maid to arrange Chinese New Year's Eve in the back garden.
This year, two more tables were set up to allow the people in the manor to dine together.
This has not happened in the Leng family in recent decades, and even the three brothers of Leng Shaoting have never seen it.
Everyone doesn't quite understand the old man's intention to do this.
Leng Qianrui and Ye Jialun's habit is to spend time at each family every other year, the Leng family had an accident a year ago, and this year they were supposed to spend the holiday at the Ye family, so they temporarily changed their minds and came to Qingpu.
If you want to say that the whole family has no heart and lungs now, only Ye Chenrui is the only one.
At first, Leng Qianrui was worried that he would make a noise to everyone, but the old man didn't mind.
Seeing that the family was obviously unhappy, they still pretended to be in front of themselves, and they were careful to avoid it everywhere.
Leng Huaiyuan sighed, "How much do you know about what the Leng family has experienced since they made their fortune to now?" ”
No one spoke.
After a while, Leng Shaoting, who is now the head of the family, spoke, "Dad, why do you ask this?" ”
Leng Huaiyuan's shrewd and transparent eyes swept around, took Leng Shaoting's words, and said to everyone, "Since your generation, the Leng family has lived a peaceful life in the past few decades, and before Lingshan's matter, the biggest thing was just your right-hand man, but it seems that people are not dead?" How did you arrange it later? ”
The faces of Leng Shaoting's generation changed slightly.
Leng Shaoting said: "Well, he didn't die, he was rescued, but then he disappeared, he should have left by himself, you know how smart and capable he is, if he doesn't want to be found, even if it's me, there is no way." ”
Leng Huaiyuan nodded, "And then?" Next is that at the end of last year, Yingjie returned from the United States and was kidnapped. ”
Leng Shizhe glanced at his father, but the other party didn't look at him, but just glanced at him.
After a long time, the uneasiness in Leng Shizhe's heart gradually faded a lot, and he continued to eat and listen to the old man, but he couldn't see anything on his face.
Leng Huaiyuan continued, "Ying's outstanding affair will come back safely in half a year, and then Lingshan." ”
At this age, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and he is still depressed in his heart.
Leng Huaiyuan sighed, "The biggest thing is these two, and there are no others, right?" ”
Leng Yingjie didn't understand what he meant, he hadn't smiled since Leng Lingshan was gone, and his face was black all day long.
"Grandpa, do you think these are not a big deal?"
Leng Huaiyuan glanced at him lightly and ignored him, "If our generation goes up, you should know even less." ”
He spoke as if he were telling a story, telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
"There are seven of our brothers and sisters, and I am the fifth, and now I am the only one alive."
Leng Qianrui was a little dissatisfied with him and said, "Grandpa, you are enjoying your old age, don't say that." ”
Leng Huaiyuan raised his hand and motioned for her not to interrupt herself.
"My eldest brother was killed by the other family because of the family business."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they had never heard of them.
Leng Huaiyuan didn't explain, and continued: "My second brother and fourth brother are fighting each other because of the fight over family property..."
He couldn't say anything, but he persevered, "If you hurt each other's families, if you use methods, there are also things that Lingshan has experienced."
The second sister died in the temple because she couldn't stand the infighting in the family, and we actually learned after a few years that my two younger sisters..."
He didn't say anything about those two, but based on the experiences of those people before, I don't think these two will end well.
Leng Huaiyuan took a sip of tea: "My era was the early days of the founding of the country, and so many things happened even if it was not peaceful, and then up, the things in troubled times, do you think they will be more comfortable than now?" ”
He looked at Leng Yingjie: "The people are gone, everyone can't accept it, indulging in pain will only be complacent, if the old Leng family in the past is like you now, will there be a Duna today?" ”
These words were a shot in the arm, and finally cheered everyone up a little.
The servants were all listening to Leng Huaiyuan's words and didn't dare to move their chopsticks, He Xiao stared at the plate of lotus paste cake in front of him and trembled slightly.
Leng Yingjie glanced in his direction, stood up and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not collapse like this, but I will not let go of Lingshan's matter." You eat first, and I'll go out to breathe. ”
He walked past He Xiao, "You come with me." ”
He Xiao didn't know what he was going to do, but he didn't bother to ask more.
Leng Lingshan is gone, he has become like a puppet, doing what he needs to do step by step, let alone silent.
Leng Yingjie personally drove the shuttle bus in the manor to take He Xiao to the swimming pool.
When he opened the door and entered, he didn't turn on the switch on the top of the sky, but turned on the normal light.
A boxing ring was set up by the pool, and he walked over with He Xiao, took off his coat, and threw the boxing gloves to He Xiao.
"Practice."
He Xiao took the gloves and put them on, climbed into the ring to make a defensive posture, and accepted Leng Yingjie's attacks one after another.
I don't know how many times he was knocked down, He Xiao stuck out his tongue against the corner of his mouth, there was a slight pain of swelling and cracking, and he tasted the fishy sweetness.
Leng Yingjie's head was already oozing fine beads of sweat, he directly took off the last piece of velvet on his body and threw it aside, panting and said, "Come again." ”
The muscles on his body tensed as if he had awakened, and some of the injuries he had suffered in the underground ring in the past had become permanent scars left on his body.
He Xiao looked at him, got up from the ground, and took off his clothes, the light in his eyes changed.
"Fight back, don't just defend, I don't need a sparring partner."
After speaking, Leng Yingjie rushed forward again.
This time, He Xiao did not stand still, but also punched Leng Ying.
The two didn't know how many rounds they fought, and finally they both collapsed in the ring tired, their faces glazed.
He Xiao was injured more, and there were bruises at the corners of his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Leng Yingjie just had a red patch on his cheekbones.
He Xiao felt a lot happier in his heart, and gasped: "Mr. Jie, you don't need bodyguards at all." ”
Leng Yingjie smiled, he finally laughed once after so long, "That's not good, of course you can do it yourself without doing it." ”
"Yo, this place has changed."
Leng Huaiyuan's voice came from the door.
Before the two of them in the ring could get up, Leng Huaiyuan reached out and pressed the opening light at the top of the sky.
The lights were replaced, and in an instant the entire pool was transformed into a brilliant blue sky.
