That night, Li Shengheng sat in a rocking chair, and Li Huarong stood respectfully with his head bowed.

"Hua Rong, you are fifty-six this year. Don't be so busy making a living that you forget about your child's education. Shaoyang is not a child anymore. You should put more energy into him and don't let him really forget his roots and ancestors!"

"Yes, Dad, I will educate him well and save you the trouble."

Li Huarong quickly agreed.

"I'm the grandfather. There's no point in talking too much. As a father, you should think about what to do. If it really doesn't work, let him go out and find something to do. It's not right for him to be in his thirties and still not have a proper job."

Li Huarong nodded and said, "I'll arrange it when I get back this time. Dad, how about you find someone to let him into the defense station..."

Li Shengheng opened his eyes and looked at him. "What kind of place is a defense station? With his condition, what do you think he can do in there?"

Li Huarong lowered his head even more. "I thought that Dad has old subordinates there. He can be restrained when he goes in, and maybe he can change."

Li Shengheng closed his eyes again, "Don't think about it, you should think of a way to get him to go somewhere else."

Li Huarong was anxious, "Dad, he's your grandson, why don't you lend a hand?"

"It is precisely because he is my grandson that I say he is unsuitable! Don't mention this matter again."

Li Shengheng waved his hand, motioning him to go out.

Li Huarong bowed and wanted to say something else, but finally stepped out.

He closed the door, took two steps, looked back, and then strode away.

Li Shengheng rocked on the recliner, thinking about Li Yue whom he met during the day.

It's an interesting little guy.

Oh, it's such a pity that he lost his parents so early. He is only 20 years old now, but I heard that he was only eight years old when his parents passed away.

It took twelve years for him to grow up to be such a generous and courageous person in such an environment. It is really not easy.

It's a pity for her father. He died at such a young age. If he were still alive, he would only be 56, the same age as Huarong.

Alas, what a pity.

What a pity...

He opened his eyes suddenly.

Fifty-six, the same size!

His heart suddenly stopped and he ordered himself to calm down!

Calm down and think!

It took him ten minutes to recover.

I remember that when my eldest brother’s concubine Tian Muching announced the good news, it was a month after he was drugged!

The good news came on the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head. The whole house was filled with joy, so he remembered it clearly.

Then, within just half a month, their family moved to Wanwan, and at the end of the year, Tian Muching was born.

His mother took pity on him for having no children and wanted to adopt him, but he refused because he couldn't bear to separate the mother and child.

Li Jianping was also born at the end of the year!

I heard that Dai Cuihua got married after they left, so, so...

Li Jianping is his son? !

his son!

Li Shengheng held the recliner with trembling fingers.

Think of that simple tombstone!

His son was born without his knowledge, and died without his knowledge!

Dai Cuihua!

Li Shengheng's face was ferocious!

Good job!

The next day, when Li Shengheng talked about the past, he lamented that there were only a few people left from the group of servants who worked in the Li family. Li Shengheng asked Li Baoguo to help give these people a message, telling them that if they needed anything, they could just ask and the Li family would help in every way they could.

At first, not many people came, but later on, a few people came one after another, either asking for wealth or for jobs for their offspring.

Li Shengheng satisfied all of them.

One day, Tian Chunxiu came to Dai Cuihua's house and insisted on taking Dai Cuihua to see Li Shengheng.

Dai Cuihua sneered, "What's there to see? I don't have to worry about food and drink now, there's nothing I want!"

Tian Chunxiu held her hand and persuaded her, "Even if you don't have to worry about food and drink, it's good to save a little bit for Xiaojun to marry."

Dai Cuihua snorted coldly, "He already has the money to marry a wife, why is he still short of these little things?"

Tian Chunxiu looked at her in surprise, "I said this doesn't fit your character. You are usually the kind of person who would take advantage of others, but now that such a great opportunity is in front of you, you won't take it. Could it be that you haven't given up on Li Shengheng yet?"

Dai Cuihua spitted and said, "Don't say such unlucky words. I was blind to like such a thing. Others may not know the details, but you know it, don't you?"

As he spoke, his two triangular eyes stared at Tian Chunxiu, with a gleam in their turbidity.

Tian Chunxiu paused, "Hey, isn't that all in the past? Now everyone has their own children. For the sake of your son, don't mention those things anymore. I just got this a few days ago, and now as a sister, I'm sending it to you as soon as possible. Isn't that considerate?"

As she spoke, she handed Dai Cuihua an envelope. Dai Cuihua held the envelope with her hands trembling a little, but she quickly calmed down.

Dai Cuihua retracted her gaze, "Yes, for the sake of my son, huh! I have to go and meet him. At least I have to leave some benefits for my son. My grandson will have to find a wife in the future."

Tian Chunxiu said quickly: "Yes, that's right, that's how we should think. We just need to wait to enjoy the good life."

The two arrived at the Li family's ancestral home and were led directly in.

Tian Chunxiu told Dai Cuihua that she wanted to see where she used to live. Dai Cuihua nodded and said that she also wanted to go and see it as she hadn't been there for many years!

I entered the former courtyard and looked at the dilapidated walls and pillars.

Humph.

This house is like a person, it becomes ugly when it gets old!

With a creak, the door of the main room opened.

Li Shengheng's serious face was revealed.

He motioned Dai Cuihua to come into the house. Dai Cuihua hesitated for a moment and walked in slowly.

Li Shengheng sat in a chair and drank tea.

Dai Cuihua stood there, a little at a loss.

But soon she straightened her chest and found a chair to sit down.

We are all quite old, and the old ways are no longer popular nowadays!

"Cuihua."

Dai Cuihua shuddered and jumped up immediately.

"Don't shout!"

Li Shengheng put down his teacup with a blank expression on his face. "I trusted you so much back then, why did you betray me?"

That night, I took the tea she handed over, and then...

Dai Cuihua sneered, "You are too naive. In the rich and powerful Li family, who wouldn't want to fly up to the treetops and become a phoenix and become the master? It's not normal for me to have such thoughts!"

Li Shengheng knocked on the table, "Whose child is Li Jianping?"

Dai Cuihua was startled and looked around, "Why are you asking this! Of course he is my son!"

Li Shengheng stared at her, not missing a single expression on her face, "I mean, who is his biological father!"

Dai Cuihua shook her hands and sneered, "So you think he is your son? You are dreaming!"

Li Shengheng played with the cup. "If he were still alive, he would be fifty-six years old this year, just right..."

Dai Cuihua sneered, "Don't even think about it. You're the only one who can't live without you. I'll get married when I return to the village."

Li Shengheng looked at her and said, "You are getting married two months later, the time doesn't match."

Dai Cuihua sneered and gnashed her teeth, "You knew I was getting married in two months, so you didn't know I was a fickle woman? I slept with someone else within a month of returning! The child was left at that time!"

Li Shengheng's shoulders suddenly collapsed. It turned out that it was not really his.

Looking at the old woman in front of me who had become unrecognizable, I could no longer see any trace of her youth.

Li Shengheng waved his hands in disappointment, "Go back, and get your things from the main hall before you leave."

Dai Cuihua glanced at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but finally she stepped out and made a "Puh" sound before leaving.

Li Shengheng sat in a chair to calm himself down.

Fortunately, he didn't give up all his hope, otherwise...

When people get old, they start to have some extravagant hopes that they shouldn’t have.

This is the only regret I have in my life.

He stood up and walked out slowly, and suddenly stepped on something.

He picked it up and found it was a brass bell that looked very old.

He slowly frowned. During the war, the little girl came to serve him. Every time the guns and cannons sounded, she would be afraid.

I was soft-hearted and gave her a whistle, saying that if she got into trouble, she could blow the whistle and he would come to save her. I still remember how she jumped for joy at that time, she was very lively.

Later, she drugged him and climbed into bed with him. When he woke up that morning, he was groggy and confused. Many people broke in, and then he knew he had been raped.

Anger and a feeling of betrayal surged up together, and she asked them to kick her out. Later, the Party-State demanded that Wanwan withdraw. When everything was completely quiet, it was Wanwan's turn.

But the regime had just started and everything was in chaos. In order to prevent the Li family from being lost in the tide of history, he used all his energy to fight others and finally secured a place in Taiwan.

His mother had suggested many times that he get married, but he had no idea. He had already spent a lot of effort in the fight for power, so why would he marry a woman as a decoration and hurt her?

Until he was in his forties, his seventy-year-old mother forced him to choose: either get married or adopt a child, otherwise she would die with regrets!

In desperation, he chose to adopt a child. At that time, Li Huarong was cute and smart, so he gradually accepted it.

However, he was too busy and had too little time to spend with his children every day, so Li Huarong lived in the big house most of the time. It was only when he was no longer busy that he brought his children with him.

Perhaps because he was hurt in childhood, Li Huarong clung to him tightly, treating him as his lifeline and was very reluctant to have other people around him.

When Ronghao came, Li Ronghua had a temper tantrum for the first time. Before he could go and talk to her, Huarong came back and admitted his mistake.

Therefore, he felt distressed and guilty about Li Ronghua's understanding, and had tolerated some of the things he did over the years.

Thinking of the deceased Rong Hao, he felt guilty towards the orphan of his old subordinate.

I just asked him to go out to get something, and then he disappeared.

Li Shengheng sighed and thought that perhaps he was not destined to have children.
