Everyone at the scene saw this scene and saw Zhai Xiaojing slap Li Lu fiercely, but no matter who it was, his expression was very strict, and he definitely didn't feel anything ridiculous!

Zhai Xiaojing's only official position is that of the Distinguished Director of the National Defense Forces General Hospital and Doctoral Station Tutor, but her unofficial titles are numerous.

Chairman of the Children's Welfare Foundation, Secretary-General of the Youth Growth Program Public Welfare Alliance, President of the Sunset Red National Association, President of the World Federation of Medical Practitioners, Chairman of the National Hope Education Foundation, and Chairman of the National Pillars of the Scholarship Fund......

With a bunch of titles for non-governmental charities, she spends more time doing this, so the news exposure is very high. But few people know that she is the daughter-in-law of the old Li family.

Obviously, everyone at the scene knew Zhai Xiaojing's identity, and when they saw Li Lu, their minds reacted quickly, and they all remembered the person who was a little strange and a little familiar, but he had only heard his father mention it when he was very young, and he had seen it in a very old and vague album.

No one dared to make extra moves, and they all looked at Zhai Xiaojing with bated breath.

Li Pavement didn't change color, he didn't even blink his eyes, he just looked at his wife who hadn't seen him for twenty years with a smile. At this moment, Li Lu has only one feeling in his heart - even though time flies and leaves traces of time on your face, when you meet again, you are the same as that year.

"Daughter-in-law, you haven't changed at all, I think I love you more. Li Lu said slowly, he spoke with a lot of energy, and his voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Everyone couldn't be strict at this time, and their faces tightened so that they wouldn't laugh out loud.

Li Mai touched his nose awkwardly, thinking to himself, my father also has a way of coaxing his daughter-in-law.

Zhai Xiaojing slowly rolled her eyes, took a step closer, and opened her arms. Li Lu was waiting for this moment, like a soldier who had been instructed, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged Zhai Xiaojing, bent down with a side step, and hugged Zhai Xiaojing's waist by the way, and the big mouth was covered.

Recreate the kiss of victory.

"Ugh. ”

Everyone couldn't bear to look at them directly, but their hearts were already happy - this uncle is also very flirtatious. But then again, Zhai Xiaojing is extremely well maintained, people in their forties look like royal sisters in their thirties, Li Lu has experienced so many vicissitudes of war, and his skin is very rough, and he looks at least ten years older than Zhai Xiaojing.

Twenty years have passed, Zhai Xiaojing let go of the last trace of reserve, hugged her husband's neck tightly, and kissed each other unwillingly.

I don't know who it was, but I took the lead and applauded. Suddenly, the scene remembered warm applause.

It seemed that the applause reminded the two of them of where they were, Li Lu picked up Zhai Xiaojing, asked her to stand up, took a breath, looked at her affectionately, and said slowly, "Daughter-in-law, you have been wronged." ”

Zhai Xiaojing slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced herself to hold back the tears that came out of her eyes. Many people praise Dean Zhai as a strong woman, a strong woman, and a woman who is stronger than men. But who knows, what woman is willing to be strong?

When my husband is not around, I have to carry everything at home, so what can I do?

The sourness in it may only be two points with her personal guard Xia Susu, who has been her personal guard for 20 years.

At this time, Xia Susu stepped forward, looked at Li Lu, and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, you can't change what you owe your wife for the rest of your life." ”

In this case, perhaps only Xia Susu dared to say it in front of Li Lu and Zhai Xiaojing.

Li Lu nodded ashamedly and said, "Then I will continue to pay it back in the next life." ”

Zhai Xiaojing smiled and gave him a blank look, "It's still so improper." ”

Li Luyan said, "Daughter-in-law, I feel like I will never be serious in front of you. ”

Seeing that Zhai Xiaojing's face had changed slightly, Li Lu hurriedly swept the corners of his eyes and whispered, "Many people are watching, and the child is also there." ”

Only then did Zhai Xiaojing retract her gradually sinking face, looked past Li Lu, and saw Li Mai.

Li Lu turned sideways, turned his head to look at Li Mai, and said, "What are you doing with the pestle, come here and see your mother." ”

"Yes!"

Li Mai strode forward, stood in front of Zhai Xiaojing, bowed deeply, and shouted, "Mother, I'll pick you up." ”

Zhai Xiaojing looked at Li Mai with mixed feelings. This son, whom she regarded as her own, broke her heart, and in the end, she actually found a woman from an ordinary background who was ten years older than herself and gave birth to a child without telling her family. This made Zhai Xiaojing not know how to deal with it. And the stubborn Li Mai categorically cut off relations with his family and went to the army, and he was gone for six years.

In the end, Zhai Xiaojing just looked at Li Mai and said lightly, "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”

Family?

That's right, the Li Lu family has a home in Nangang.

It was a courtyard house left by Li Mai's grandfather, and when Li Mai's grandfather was the secretary of the Nangang Municipal Party Committee, he lived in a courtyard house assigned by the unit. Later, the government reformed, the courtyard house was sold, and Li Lu spent money to buy it, which is considered to have a place to settle in Nangang.

Twenty years have passed, and the land in the compound of the municipal party committee was originally the center of the city, and now it is even more valuable. With an area of nearly three hundred square meters, the ancient courtyard house has stood for decades without any problems because of good maintenance. And the real estate developer wants to take that piece of land, but he can't find the owner of this courtyard. At the height of the Nangang movement, the then municipal party secretary did not dare to order the demolition of the building for the development of high-value-added office buildings or shopping malls.

Not only that, as if the successive secretaries of the municipal party committee had discussed it a long time ago, no matter what conditions were offered, the courtyard could not be moved. In order to make the courtyard house reasonable and well preserved in the ever-changing urban construction, the city government has enclosed the land around the courtyard and built it into a leisure green space for citizens.

In this way, in the core center of Nangang, surrounded by high-rise buildings, is a large green space, like a little green in the red bushes, in the middle of the grass is an ancient courtyard, in front of the door is the Nangang citizens jokingly called the Fortune Avenue Jiefang Avenue - almost on both sides are office buildings, half of the world's top 500 companies have set up offices here.

The famous Pinnacle Square is also on the side of this avenue.

In this way, the current courtyard house has been maintained by mysterious workers every month for more than 20 years.

After meeting at the airport, the idlers and others were instructed to disperse, and Li Lu's family of three, plus the housekeeping staff and bodyguards brought by Zhai Xiaojing, drove to this courtyard.

More than a dozen units, including the Nangang Station of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Internal Affairs Bureau, the Office of the Municipal Party Committee, the Headquarters of the Third Fleet of the Navy, the Command of a certain Air Force Department, and the Command of a Division of the Army, sent special personnel to form a joint group to inspect every corner of the courtyard and inspect the security facilities of the courtyard. To ensure that the courtyard can not only make the owner live comfortably, but also must ensure absolute security.

These things don't need to pass through Li Lu, and even the report only goes to Pei Xiaoshan's side, and Li Lu doesn't know anything about what the people below do.

At his level, although he has no official and is light, he does not dare to take lightly dozens of key departments of the party, government, military, and localities, and so many heavyweight military units in Nangang.

This reminds many people of the great man who resigned from all his positions and became an ordinary person, but no one in the world has as high a level of security as his guard.

After a short period of busyness, Xia Susu ordered someone to arrange his wife's luggage and something, and then took them down to rest. In the living room, the family of three sat there talking about home.

Of course, Li Mai never dared to sit down, standing obediently in front of his father and mother, standing properly in a military posture, and not daring to squint.

He keenly felt that when a family of three got together after 20 years, the first thing he had to say was what he was most concerned about, and it was also the thing he was most concerned about. Special families create special feelings, and more often, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Li Mai and his father and mother is more like the relationship between the chief and his subordinates.

The old Li family has been very strict since the first generation of Li Hongjun, and the family rules have always been very strict, of course, except for Li Lu, because he is too demonic. Li Mai often thought of the things that his father had done before and the countless decisions he had made, and he felt surprised - his father seemed to know what was going to happen in the future, and he sat in front of everything. It's like an old fisherman sitting on the shore smoking leisurely, with a pair of eyes that can see through the muddy river, and seeing that a large wave of fish is coming, he calmly goes down the net full of big fish.

Li Mai is destined to not surpass his father, unless he successfully excavates the Kra Canal, and in the eyes of others, he has the capital to compare with his father.

After being silent for a while, Li Mai met his father's gaze, and then asked his mother with concern, "Mother, why don't you rest first." ”

Zhai Xiaojing glanced at Li Lu, then looked at Li Mai, and said lightly, "I'm not tired." You sit down. ”

Li Mai walked over and sat down in a biased position.

Li Lu hurriedly made tea for Zhai Xiaojing, and said softly, "Daughter-in-law, drink some tea, the best tea from Niu Er's hometown." ”

Li Mai couldn't help but look at his father with disdain, he was so afraid of guilt, and his image in front of people were simply two extremes.

After taking a three-hour flight, Zhai Xiaojing was indeed a little thirsty, so she took a sip of tea and took a sip. Li Lu hurriedly asked, "How is it, is it okay?"

Zhai Xiaojing glanced at him and didn't speak, Li Lu consciously closed his mouth and sat down with himself.

Looking at Li Mai, Zhai Xiaojing asked slowly, "Dog, do you still have me in your eyes?"

Li Mai's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head.

At home, Li Mai is called a dog, and the one who calls him the most is his mother, followed by several aunts and uncles (when Li Mai and Zhai Xiaojing adopted Li Mai, they recognized his two aunts and an uncle as their younger brothers and sisters). This nickname is said to have been given at birth.

The word dog egg also evokes Li Mai's various memories of home. When he was a child, he was very naughty, because he was Li Lu's only seedling, and his family was spoiled, but his mother was not spoiled, and he was strictly disciplined, but he still often caused trouble. remembered that her mother had worried about herself for half her life, but she cut off her relationship with her family for a woman.

At this time, Li Mai suddenly felt that he was very unfilial, but in the face of family affection and love, Li Mai couldn't tell which was more important.

At the beginning, he thought that his mother's blocking of his marriage to Zhai Xiaoyu was to ruin the happiness of his life. But he soon understood - what mother would ruin her son's happiness with her own hands?

Among them, there must be another reason.

Zhai Xiaojing said slowly, "You took my own grandson back, found a girlfriend again, and talked about marriage, right? But I, who is a mother, didn't get these news from you." Dog, don't you recognize me as a mother?"

Li Mai stood up and fell to his knees with a thud. A man has gold under his knees, and only his father and mother in heaven and earth.

"Mother, I love you very much. Li Mai choked up and said, "I just want to know why you opposed my marriage to Zhai Xiaoyu in the first place." How did Zhai Xiaoyu die? ”

Li Lu was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Zhai Xiaojing's gaze sweeping over and obediently closed his mouth. He hasn't seen his son for 20 years, and of course he feels sorry for his son.

Zhai Xiaojing looked at her son, who had grown up, sighed slightly, and said, "Now there is no point in you investigating the root cause of this matter." Dog, if you still can't let go of Zhai Xiaoyu, don't provoke Zhang Xiaoyu. She's a good girl. Don't forget how she ran away in the first place. ”

Li Mai raised his head and looked at his mother, knowing in his heart that although he was far away from the capital, it was impossible for him to hide from his mother, whether he was in the army or where he was, what he did and what happened. Zhai Xiaojing even knew why Zhang Xiaoyu ran away in the first place, and knew better what kind of person Zhang Xiaoyu was.

Pondering, Li Mai asked himself again and again in his heart, is it meaningful? Is it meaningful to ask why his mother opposed his marriage to Zhai Xiaoyu in the first place? Is it still meaningful to find out the cause of Zhai Xiaoyu's death?

Li Lu sighed deeply and said slowly, "Li Mai, the past has become history, people can do many things and can do them well, but they can't turn back time." Now that you've let go and you've met someone you can stay with for the rest of your life, the answer you want is meaningless. ”

There must be a deeper reason in it, my mother knows it, and my father knows it, but they seem to have planned to let this matter pass once and for all.

What should I do?

Li Mai slowly lowered his head, looked at the floor, and said in a choked voice, "Dad, mother, if you can't untie the knot in your happiness today, you will never be able to get over this hurdle in your heart." ”

Li Lu and Zhai Xiaojing looked at each other, and they both saw each other's helplessness.

"You kid, you have a beating sex with me when I was young!" Li Lu said helplessly, and then said to Zhai Xiaojing, "Daughter-in-law, you should sue him." He has also experienced a lot of ups and downs, and what he couldn't figure out before can now be figured out. ”

"That's it, today my mother will tell you clearly. Mother hopes that after today, you can completely forget these things and live a good life with that girl. Zhai Xiaojing took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Li Mai raised his head and looked at his mother.

"Dog, you are still in infancy, you came to our house, although you are not the blood of the old Li family, but you are indeed the descendant of the old Li family. Your life experience, my mother told you. If your biological father had not sacrificed, perhaps you would not have faced any obstacles in your marriage. But you have to understand that you are in a special family. ”

Zhai Xiaojing's tone was very slow, and she said slowly, "In the eyes of others, a family like ours is omnipotent and beautiful. But God is fair, and you lose your freedom because of it, including me and your father, including your grandparents, and even your great-grandparents. Your destiny changes the day you are adopted. You are in such a family, and you are doomed to lose your freedom. You can't choose your career freely, you can't fall in love as you want, and you can't marry and have children according to your own standards. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Zhai Xiaojing said, "Dog, you know that Niang is not a person who values family background, but standing in the position of Niang, I have to take this matter very seriously and strictly." Because you are the only seedling of the old Li family. Your uncle and uncle have not given birth to boys, and you are the only incense in the old Li family. Lao Li's family must be maintained, this is a matter of national economy and people's livelihood, and it is not negotiable. Mother said that, can you understand?"

Li Mai nodded slowly and said, "Mother, I understand that my marriage should be used as a bargaining chip to exchange for greater support for the family, and to keep the old Li family able to continue to play its due role." ”

After a pause, he asked, "But, mother, why don't you object to my marriage with Zhang Xiaoyu now, Zhang Xiaoyu is also an ordinary family." ”

Zhai Xiaojing glanced at Li Lu and said, "You can go on." ”

Li Lu nodded, his expression became a little stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Dad has been paying attention to domestic affairs and family affairs unilaterally for all these years abroad. Even your mother doesn't know, in fact, my father has many eyes and ears to report to me at any time on the domestic developments. ”

"Dog, the shape of the shì at that time was very unfavorable to our family, and the reason why your mother strongly opposed your marriage was because if you could unite with the Shangguan family at that time, you would be able to get through that difficulty. I only found out about this later, because at that time, my father was trying his best to deal with the CIA's pursuit, and he was also in the most difficult moment. As the fourth generation of the Lao Li family, you have the responsibility and obligation to make sacrifices to keep the family. Therefore, your mother can't let you marry that ordinary girl lightly, but wants you to marry a girl from the Shangguan family. ”

Seeing that Li Mai was about to speak, Li Lu waved his hand lightly and said, "Later, the shape changed, and my father also freed his hand, and finally resolved the crisis." That's why I know your situation. Sending you to the army was the result of my discussion with your grandfather. You hid the matter of registering your marriage with that girl, so you didn't pursue it. ”

"As for the girl's ...... death"

Li Lu looked at Li Mai and sighed slowly, "She really chose to sacrifice herself for Haohao." ”

Li Mai's tears burst out of his eyes, a bloody fact, a fact that he had always doubted, was finally confirmed today, but it was so tearful......

Note: I'm sorry everyone, I was busy outside for a day today, and I came home at nine o'clock, and I apologized again, and I can't help my brothers and sisters. Daddy has a lot of eyes and ears to report to me at any time on the domestic developments. ”
