15 years in business

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Before Li Yu left home, Shen Lanyin lay sideways on the sofa, lazily watching him pack his luggage.

Li Yu concentrated on packing his clothes and didn't bother to answer. Shen Lanyin's expression immediately changed. Seeing Fluffy lying beside her, she stretched out her long nails and pinched the cat's back resentfully.

Li Yu: "If you don't like this cat, send it back as soon as possible."

Shen Lanyin: "You haven't answered my question just now."

"The old man has been diagnosed with cancer, so I have to go back and have a look?" Li Yu impatiently rolled up his clothes and threw them into his travel bag.

Seeing him like this, Shen Lanyin giggled: "What else do I care about?"

Li Yu was not in the mood to talk nonsense to her: "Cat, do you want to pay it back?"

Fluffy has recently shed a lot of hair, and Shen Lanyin has to lose her temper every day when she sucks the floor. When she loses her temper, she burns the cat with a cigarette to vent her anger, and then Fluffy loses more hair because of this. After a vicious circle, the cat becomes more and more The uglier it is, the mental state is also sluggish. Some careful fans have already seen the clues. Shen Lanyin feels that it is useless to keep it. It is better to throw it to Sun Yueming, so she agrees: "Okay, I will return it."

"Then I'll call Sun Yueming and ask her to come and take the cat away today."

Li Yu was about to go out, when Shen Lanyin suddenly hugged him from behind: "You kiss me first."

"Don't make trouble." After that night in the hotel, Li Yu instinctively rejected contact with people other than Ninagawa, pushed her away, and left without looking back.

The door was left open, and Shen Lanyin sat on the floor in a suspender nightgown for a long time, as if waiting for Li Yu to change his mind and make up for the kiss that was owed to her.

Shen Lanyin waited for a long time, but the only answer to her was the cold draft in the corridor.

Li Jianhong is a native of Jiuhua, Jiangsu. When he was young, he traveled all over China to do business, and settled wherever there were business opportunities. Unexpectedly, there would be a day of homesickness. Li Yu advised him to buy a suite in Nantong City for retirement. What kind of entertainment is there around? It was very convenient to have a good time, but Li Jianhong insisted on not wanting to move back to his ancestral house in the town. He lived a lifetime of extravagance and lust, but in his later years he lived a simple life of self-cultivation.

Before Li Yu set off, he glanced at the map of Gaode, and found that it took only three hours to drive from Wucheng to Nantong. He remembered that when he went back last time, he had to take a ferry and changed four modes of transportation to reach his destination. Then I thought about it, it might be because I haven't been home for a long time.

Jiuhua is not a closed and impoverished small town, and the per capita happiness index may be higher than that of Wucheng, but Li Yu has long been accustomed to the mature and thin human touch, and once he returns to the town, he feels uncomfortable. When he stepped into the restaurant, a little girl Pointing to him and saying, "Look, this is Lao Li's eldest son." Li Yu also pushed the non-existent sunglasses on the bridge of his nose like a reflex.

Li Jianhong has a lot of money, but he always invites people to eat at places like farmhouses. He also likes red and green like Qianlong. When Li Yu pushed the door and entered, he was almost blinded by the orange ceiling lights in the box.

Seeing Li Yu coming, the old man laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. Regardless of the persuasion of others, he insisted on standing up, limped up to him, and asked in poor Mandarin, "Is the road blocked? Come on, sit down, Are you hungry? Waiter! Come, come, serve the food quickly!"

"Seeing your dad is happy... also, we haven't seen you for so long, we all miss you." The speaker was Liu Simin, Li Jianhong's third wife, who was the same age as Li Yu and had a 16-year-old daughter Li Hui.

This ancestor was at the age of the gods, and was spoiled by his parents. Under her background, even Xue Xing seemed reasonable. Li Yu exchanged a look with him, and it was considered as a greeting .

Li Jianhong looked at the three seemingly incompatible children, and had nothing to do but sigh. He cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is here, let me say a few words first. I have just been diagnosed with throat cancer, and I won't live long." .”

Because of the disease, Li Jianhong's voice became deep and hoarse, which was completely different from his youthful voice. When Liu Simin heard the word throat cancer, he couldn't control his emotions and sobbed softly.

Li Jianhong comforted her in a good voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't enjoyed anything in my life, and it's enough to live to this age."

Although he said he didn't care, Li Jianhong's expression turned gloomy. He put his arms on the table and said word by word: "But, I have been in business for decades, and I have saved a lot of money. If If you don't make a clear distinction, it will inevitably hurt the relationship between you two."

Feelings, what feelings?Feeling like a stranger?Seeing Li Jianhong struggling to squeeze out these two words, Xue Xing felt even more amused. He picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth to cover up the corners of his mouth.

"It's not easy for Simin to take care of me. I plan to leave the old house to her, buy another house in Nantong, and write her name. After all, Huihui will go to school outside in the future."

Li Jianhong wanted to touch Li Hui's hair, but Li Hui avoided cursing, repeating the words "old stuff" and "shameless" repeatedly.

"Leave the factory to Li Yu."

As soon as Li Jianhong finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up at the banquet, and he just pretended that he hadn't seen anything: "You are not too young, and you don't look good to be a star, so why don't you do it, come back to your hometown, I will let you If Simin introduces a girl to you, she will be able to start a family as soon as possible, and she will be worthy of your mother."

Li Yu didn't take a bite of the food, and drank the wine alone: ​​"I don't need it."

Li Yu's mother is a very traditional woman. After being kicked out by Li Jianhong, she gave herself the name of an abandoned wife and talked about it all day long. She became seriously ill soon and left sadly. At the age of 16, he went to be a group performer in order to make a living, and was caught by someone by chance, so he embarked on the road of becoming an actor.

If Li Jianhong hadn't done everything right, Li Yu wouldn't be the Li Yu of today. Now that time is running out, if he pretends to be merciful, Li Yu knows that his father is so pissed, so he doesn't bother to talk to him at all: "I'm doing well in Wucheng, and I don't care. There is no rush to get married."

"Not in a hurry to get married?!" Li Jianhong raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "You don't even look at how old you are! You are over 30, and you still think of yourself as a young man?"

"35." Li Yu said.

Li Jianhong became angry from embarrassment, his face flushed immediately, he rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to hit Li Yu: "You...you son!"

"Jianhong!", Liu Simin quickly grabbed Li Jianhong, and gave him a pat on the back: "Forget it, forget it."

Liu Simin stood up, and Xue Xing was too embarrassed to sit still, and lightly persuaded him: "Dad, it's hard for the family to get together once, so don't hurt your friendship."

"family?"

After hearing this, Li Jianhong immediately turned his firepower on Xue Xing: "Who is with your family? If Simin hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered that I still have your son!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Li Yu to apologize again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dad is in a hurry. You think about it again, come back to do business, marry a wife to take care of your life, what's wrong with being more stable, yes Bar?"

Li Yu didn't even raise his eyelids: "I like men."

At this time, the waiter just came in with a bowl of mutton casserole. Hearing these words, his expression changed, his hands trembled, and some mutton soup spilled out.

Li Hui's half-closed eyes also opened. Taking advantage of her parents' inattention, she quickly picked out a few pieces of the best meat from the casserole, stuffed them into her mouth and munched, her eyes wandering around. .

"You ask Xue Xing, he knows." Li Yu was in the center of the storm, but he was the calmest one, "He also knows the men I played with."

At that moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and it would make a puffing sound when it was knocked hard.

Xue Xing suddenly sneered: "What the hell are you pretending to be with me?"

He got up and left the table, overturned the boiling casserole, picked up the pot, and greeted Li Yu.

Shen Lanyin came out of the bathroom, holding a thin and long object in her hand.

"Here, your cat." She kicked the dazed Fluffy.

Sun Yueming picked up the cat with tears in his eyes, and Shen Lanyin looked at her condescendingly, with a mechanical and indifferent tone: "Aren't you going to say something to me?"

Sun Yueming shrunk his neck and dodged his eyes: "Thank you...thank you."

"It's almost there."

From this angle, Shen Lanyin could see Sun Yueming's slender collarbone. She was terribly thin, like a walking skeleton. Sooner or later her appearance would decline, and she was no longer a threat.

"The six of us will part sooner or later. It's better to leave early than late. This is what I mean. You go back and tell them." Shen Lanyin said coldly.

She passed Sun Yueming and opened the door directly: "Get lost."

Sun Yueming did not dare to resist, and carried the cat in his arms and walked away in a hurry. The automatic lights in the corridor sensed that someone was coming, and automatically turned on, casting a faint yellow light.

She squatted in the shadow outside the aperture and kept retching and twitching. Fluffy was beside Sun Yueming, tilting her head and looking at her ignorantly.

Sun Yueming raised his head and looked at Rongrong, tears fell silently.

Shen Lanyin paid her attention to the closed door, she stood upright, behind her was a crimson setting sun, and the ever-changing light and shadow cast on the glass, Shen Lanyin's face was also reflected blood red.

She flattened her palms and looked down, carefully observing the symbols on the pregnancy test stick.

Like a child looking after the house alone, when she suddenly finds someone over the cat's eyes, her pupils shrink sharply because of fear, and finally shrink into an ugly dot, trembling in the eye sockets.
