Play bone

Dad, which dad?

For a moment, such a question mark popped up in Lu Li's mind.

Theoretically, he now has three fathers—one from the previous life, one from this life, and a reserve stepfather.But currently in the United States, there is only one.

It was also the one he didn't want to see.

It can only be said that time flies like an arrow, and before I know it, the sentence on the other side of the ocean has expired.According to the news An Huawen received just now, Lu Li's father has entrusted a law firm in Beijing to be responsible for the liquidation and handover of Lu Li's relics and inheritance; he has also contacted the auction company and is preparing to hold a press conference for the relics auction.

Of course, there is the most important thing - Shen Xingze must give Lu Li's father a box full of ashes.Then cooperate with him to stage a solemn funeral.

And all of this meant only one thing to Lu Li: he and Shen Xingze were about to lose that "home".

The first step in inheriting the inheritance is asset inventory. Whether it is Lu Li's deposits during his lifetime or clothing, daily utensils, and furniture, they will all be moved to the designated warehouse, and will be registered and stored in a unified manner after inventory.Then, part of it will be auctioned off and become someone else's property; and the proceeds from the auction will still flow into Lu Li's father's pocket.

Just thinking about it like this made Lu Li gnash his teeth with hatred.But the law is like this, so it doesn't necessarily mean that he will go out and tell the world that Lu Li is still alive and well.

Right now, there is only refraining from haste and patience.

Lu Li's father's flight was scheduled for four days later.During these four days, Lu Li still rehearsed the big play during the day, and asked for leave at night to go home and organize things with Shen Xing.

Although he really wanted to pack everything and take it away, it was obviously not realistic to do so.After careful consideration, most of the clothes were abandoned, and the few decorations and luxury items were not taken away either.

The focus of Lu Li's inspection was some digital products he had used before: mobile phones, laptops and tablets.Then there are his notebooks and books from college.The reason is also very simple - these things often contain the records of his relationship with Shen Xingze, and once they are put up for auction, they are very likely to be bought by the gossip media.Once the data is restored, the consequences will be disastrous.

To be cautious, the entire 100-square-meter home with three bedrooms and two halls was inspected four or five times by the two of them.Stop after confirming that there are no omissions.

"...It's all over."

Putting the toothbrush and towels he had used for a while into his backpack, Lu Li stood in the living room, staring at the place that had been sorted out and became strange again.He knew that this time he was really going to leave.

"It's not over."

Shen Xing chose to put all the leftovers in the refrigerator into garbage bags, and then walked to Lu Li's side.

"Where there are you and me, there is a home."

"……Yes."

Lu Li smiled slightly, and at the same time raised the things in his hands: "Then, where should these guys go?"

Shen Xing chose to take the things over and pointed to the door with his chin: "Follow me."

"Where are you going?" Lu Li half-jokingly said, "I won't leave unless you tell me."

"Where else can I go?" Shen Xingxuan also became serious: "Look at your children and grandchildren."

----------

As the second son of the head of the Shen family, Shen Xing chose the real estate of the Shen family for his private residence.Xinghai Bay, a high-end villa complex that has been completed for 15 years, has complete facilities and comprehensive security. More importantly, it is only 10 minutes' drive from Juxing Company.

Shen Xingze's home is located in the best upwind area of ​​Xinghai Bay.In order to ensure privacy, the three villas around the private house are not for sale, and an advanced alarm system is also installed.

But despite such exaggerated isolation measures, the private house itself is not too luxurious—the two-in-one townhouse cunningly bypasses the relevant regulations and forms a de facto single-family villa.There are two floors above and below, plus a basement and a roof garden. The house is in a modern style with clean lines, equipped with a modern-style garden lawn, and a unique semi-indoor swimming pool.

Lu Li was no stranger to this house, but to be honest, he didn't like it here.The reason is simple - this is Shen Xingze's home, but it has nothing to do with him.

But now, everything is starting to change.

Shen Xing chose to park the car directly in the garage, and two people carried their things into the first floor through the back door.In order to welcome Lu Li's arrival, Shen Xing chose to ask the housekeeper to leave work early.In the huge villa, there were only the two of them tonight.

No, it's not just the two of them.

Accompanied by a few soft meows, the actual ruler and heir of this villa appeared on the stage together—two black cats, one big and one small, ran down the stairs on the carpet.The tie tied around their necks was the cat bow tie they bought at a flea market by the seaside in France last time.

Lu Li quickly dropped the things in his hands and prepared to take the cat into his arms.However, the touching parent-child reunion he imagined did not happen.

Just as Shen Xingze expected, Xiao Hei had no memory of Lu Li at all, and was even wary of this strange man with an obsessed face who was born out of nowhere.

Of course, there is nothing in this world that one can of cat food can't solve, if there is, then two cans.

So the situation became that Lu Li was sitting on the steps of the stairs, Xiao Hei was eating canned food in front of his toes, and he was holding another canned food in his hand, holding the hot Xiao Hei in his arms.

Putting the coat and keys away, Shen Xing chose to look back at the three of them.

"Are you happy?"

"Happiness." Lu Li nodded honestly.

"Then move in and live with me?"

"No. Rehearse every day until 11:30, and then you can sleep for a few hours."

This is an irrefutable reason.Shen Xingxuan reluctantly agreed, but he was obviously a little bit dispirited.

Lu Li didn't want him to be disappointed, so he deliberately picked up the cat to tease him: "Guess a trick for you: the four of us—name the title of a play."

"Home?" Shen Xingze opened his mouth and came.

"wrong."

"Red and black?"

"Nonsense makes you, who is popular."

Shen Xing chose not to guess, and was about to ask the answer directly.

A smirk appeared on Lu Li's face again, he pointed at himself, then at Shen Xingze and the two cats in turn.

"Four generations live under one roof."

"...you will never die of poverty."

Shen Xingze reached out to pat the back of his head.Raising high but falling gently, it finally turned into a gentle touch.

"However, if your father comes back, then the four generations will really live together."

"..."

Lu Li's face suddenly changed, "It's fine, why did you mention him?"

"If you don't mention him, he won't disappear. We will meet tomorrow. Have you thought about it? How should we deal with it?"

"Didn't you agree that I would still be your assistant? Anyway, he doesn't know me now, so why should I think about how to deal with it?"

Lu Li's disdain was also expected by Shen Xingze.He simply sat down on the steps, grabbed the big cat and hugged it in his arms.

"I haven't told you about my dad yet, do you want to hear it?"

"..."

Lu Li originally wanted to refuse.But it was rare for Shen Xing to open up his heart, and if he refused once, he might not have a next time.So he nodded decisively.

"Don't preach to me."

Shen Xingze smiled lightly: "I'm talking about my own family, how could it be preaching. How about it, let me ask you, what kind of person do you think my dad is."

"Your father? The father of the people of the whole country."

Lu Li replied without the slightest compliment, "Who wouldn't want to have a father like him? The children have no worries about food and clothing, and they can do whatever they want. It's especially good for you - if you want to be an actor, he asked An Huawen to arrange it for you. , debuted as a Hollywood drama; then I simply bought Juxing for you, and even set up a star theater chain."

"You think so? It's all for me?"

Shen Xingze scratched the cat's chin with one hand, while turning his gaze to the distance.

"Real estate, e-commerce, and social media—the former three pillar industries of Shen's. Among them, the real estate industry has entered a recession 20 years ago; e-commerce and social media are also subject to the impact of the economic environment to a certain extent. One To be a giant commercial ship, there must be a mechanism for sailing against the current, and to a certain extent, the entertainment industry just has such capabilities.”

"Is it the lipstick effect..." Lu Li thought about it, and then understood something.

"So, Shen's entry into the entertainment industry is not based on your personal wishes, but a decision after comprehensive consideration."

"Of course." Shen Xingze chuckled.Although the laughter is light, there is something heavy in it.

Lu Li turned his head to look at Shen Xingxuan, as if he just met this man who had been in close skin-to-skin contact with him for more than ten years today.

"So, you don't actually like being an actor?"

"like."

Shen Xing chose to turn his gaze back to Lu Li, as if the phrase "like" was meant for Lu Li.

"But when a hobby turns into a job, sooner or later things become less fun."

"..."

Lu Li just wanted to say "This is also the reason why I don't want to sign too early".But then I thought about it again: Shen Xing chose to do this kind of thing all the time, so what can I complain about in front of him.

Of course, Shen Xingze didn't know what was going on in his heart, but when he saw that he was suddenly silent, he asked again with concern: "What's wrong?"

Lu Li quickly shook his head to express that nothing happened, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "That means, your family puts the burden of entering the entertainment industry on your shoulders?"

For some reason, Shen Xingze seems to have answered something out of the question.

"...The relationship between my family is actually not as harmonious as the outside world imagines. My elder brother and I are half-brothers. Although he knows how to take care of the overall situation, after all, there are differences in blood, and estrangement is inevitable. My sister married an official. Yes, there are some things at home that are inconvenient to be too involved. I was sent to the United States when I was a child, and I came back after my mother passed away. Sometimes I think that the reason why she has a bad heart is not only related to the disease itself, but also partly because of miss me."

Hearing this, Lu Li felt strange again: "Since this is the case, why send you out? Or she can go abroad to accompany you."

Shen Xingze's expression showed that he also had doubts about this question.

"The reason for sending me abroad is to hope that I can receive an international education and broaden my horizons; and the reason why she can't go abroad to accompany me is because she is worried that my father will do something wrong to her."

"..."

Lu Li thought that Shen Xingxuan's words were really euphemistic - to put it bluntly, his mother was worried that his father would empathize with him.

Speaking of this, he remembered: more than ten years ago, out of curiosity, he deliberately searched for information about Shen Xingze's family.Effective information is simply rare, and there are many rumors of all kinds.

Among them was a piece of gossip that said that Shen Xingxuan's mother was the superior mistress.I'm afraid it is precisely because of this that I have no confidence in my husband, and in order to protect my status and rights, I never leave him.
