Jianbao life

Chapter 18 Father and Son Conversation
After last night's near misses, Li Zhiqiu finally returned home safely.

When Li Heng bid farewell to Lin Weiya and returned home, he happened to see his father sitting in the middle of the living room with a serious face.

His mother, Wang Meixin, was also sitting next to Li Zhiqiu.

Li Heng felt some bad premonition, he planned to sneak into his room quietly through the door.

Having made up his mind, Li Heng stood on tiptoe and walked towards his room step by step gently, when his hand just touched the doorknob of the room.

"Li Heng, come back to me." Li Zhiqiu's faint voice sounded from behind, "I have something to ask you."

Li Heng's hands stopped, he turned around, and squeezed out a flattering smile: "What's wrong, Dad?"

Li Heng felt that if he was so timid, his father, always smart, would definitely see what he was thinking.

So he pretended to be generous.

Before Li Heng walked into the coffee table, he smiled and asked, "Dad, you suddenly don't speak now, is something wrong with our family?"

Li Zhiqiu will show this kind of expression, usually when something bad happens.

Wang Meixin glanced at her husband, knowing that Li Zhiqiu couldn't ask, and was afraid of getting an answer that was completely opposite to what he had imagined.She sighed and said, "Li Heng, tell the truth."

"How did you get into trouble with the Li family?"

It turned out that Li Zhiqiu was stopped by the Li family on his way to get off work and took him to Youlong Restaurant for tea, where they stayed for nearly two or three hours.

After sitting for a long time, no senior members of the Li family came. In the end, the Li family themselves received the news of Li Zikui's release.

Li Zhiqiu just came out of Youlong Restaurant.

It has been more than ten years since Li Zhiqiu severed ties with the Li family and ran away with his wife and children. He has never seen anyone from the Li family for so many years.

When I saw them yesterday, even though I hadn't been in the Li family for a long time, Li Zhiqiu could still recognize who was from the Li family.

Every Li family will have a pear flower embroidered on their sleeves, which is a rule passed down by the Li family for many years. Anyone born in the Li family, and anyone who sells their lives to the Li family, will wear clothes embroidered with pictures of pear flowers.

Leaving aside the Li family, at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Wang family, Li Heng showed his talent in appreciating treasures, turned the tide with his own efforts, and reversed the opinion of the stubborn old lady Wang...

After all, Li Hengjian couldn't hide from the clever Li Zhiqiu.

He thought about it for a long time, what to say, everything from beginning to end.

After a while, Li Heng knelt down in front of Li Zhiqiu. He kowtowed first, and his forehead hit the floor with a clear "boom".Then he sat upright.

"Li Heng is not filial. He didn't listen to his father's instruction and didn't touch Jianbao and his party."

First of all, Li Heng generously admitted that he went against Li Zhiqiu's wishes at first, and studied hard for many years on treasure appraisal methods. When he was in college, he kept reading those treasure appraisal books and learned some superficial knowledge.

Li Zhiqiu's eyebrows were tightly knit together, and finally he sighed: "Forget it. No matter how hard I try to persuade you, you may not be able to listen to it."

For 22 years, Li Zhiqiu watched Li Heng grow up from Wang Meixin's pregnancy in October, from an infant to a young man with outstanding learning. He knew very well what kind of temperament his son possessed.

What Li Heng believes in, he will do to the end, even if you pull eight cows for him, ten cows may not be able to pull him back.

Li Heng saw that his father still didn't ask anything in the end.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Zhiqiu gratefully: "Thank you, Dad, for your understanding!"

Li Zhiqiu has let go like this, and Wang Meixin is not good at interfering in Li Heng's affairs.

Let the grievances of the previous generation end with them.

"You're all hungry. You don't come back until this hour. If you want to come back later, don't tell me earlier. It makes me worry for nothing!"

Wang Meixin opened her mouth to break the peaceful silence. She didn't wait for the father and son's answer, and went straight to the kitchen to reheat the dishes that had been completely cold for two or three hours.

During this meal for a family of three, everyone had a tacit understanding and no one spoke.

Afterwards, Li Heng never expected that the whole family would gather for dinner that day, which would be the last time.

……

After these turmoil, Li Heng lived a peaceful life for a few days.

The day of the grand auction house is also just around the corner.

Li Heng took out the top-quality South African blood diamond he had hidden.

He needs a sum of money to shine in the auction house, so that those Wang family and Li family can open their eyes and take a good look.

What's more, he also accidentally obtained the see-through ability of the divine stone!
Li Heng took the South African blood diamond and rushed all the way to the antique market in Jiangcheng.

The street is still very lively, and people are calling everywhere: "Come and see, baby..."

Li Heng's target is not these small vendors, but the gem merchants who have been living in the Gambling Stone District all year round.

In the stone gambling area, a few sharp-eyed guys recognized Li Heng, who was famous for cutting out rare and top-quality South African blood diamonds.

They are born with eyesight, and they only need to take a few glances and observe carefully, and they can know the intention of the person coming.When I saw Li Heng scanning the shops back and forth in a hurry, he could tell by his expression that he was selecting shops that could recycle rough stones and spend a lot of money.

So they looked at each other, determined to win Li Heng over.

"Is this gentleman looking for a benefactor?" A boy in a gray T-shirt stepped forward and asked straight to the point.

Li Heng looked over, and he looked up and down at this young man, he was about 25 years old, with a neat cut, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he knew that he had met someone who knew the goods.

Just by looking at the appearance of these young fellows, those who know a little bit about the way can tell who is behind the generous financial backers or the treacherous and unscrupulous businessmen who blindly lower prices.

Li Heng nodded.

The little guy then made a gesture of please: "Please."

It was Su Yutang, the biggest shop in the Stone Gambling District, that the boy brought him in.

Su Yutang has a great reputation in the stone gambling area. Whenever some good-looking rough jadeite is cut out, go to Su Yutang. Su Yutang will definitely give you a satisfactory price.

The young man politely pulled a chair for Li Heng to sit down, and said, "Sir, wait here for a while, and I will invite the owner to come."

Li Heng nodded.

It didn't take long for Su Yutang's door curtain to be raised, and the young man who had just gone to invite someone respectfully said, "Yes, it's Li Heng from before."

The man who appeared afterward wore gold-rimmed glasses and was dressed plainly. He looked like a refined scholar. He didn't look like the typical nouveau riche image that Li Heng had seen before Liu Hu.

"Hello, Mr. Li Heng, I have long admired your name." The man looked at him and introduced himself gently: "I am the person in charge of Su Yutang, Zhong Liang."
