After rebirth, I just want salted fish

Lin Yuan laughed angrily at Jiang Rongxuan's words, "I've called Ah Nian that way since I met you, and you don't even care how I call him. Are you being a little too lenient?"

Jiang Rongxuan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing disdain, "But I think your name has affected others. My brother doesn't like you calling him so close."

"You know again? You're the roundworm in his stomach?" Lin Yuan said dissatisfied: "You say I'm intimate, but I still think you're disgusting. How can you pretend to be innocent, and you're ashamed to call out your brother. "

Jiang Rongxuan suppressed his smile.

There was already a coldness in his eyes, but now there was no smile, and his whole face looked even more gloomy and terrifying.

He said: "You've finished speaking, shouldn't it be time to go? Brother doesn't welcome you, so it's not good to hang around at someone's door, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan stared fiercely at Jiang Rongxuan. He looked very angry, as if he was about to pounce on Jiang Rongxuan in the next second.

But it's a pity that the thunder was loud and the rain was little. He looked very powerful, but in fact he just took a few breaths, his lips moved a few times, and he didn't even dare to reply.

He took another deep look at Li Sinian, said, "Add me back on WeChat, I have something to tell you", and hurried away, as if there was some snake or scorpion chasing after him.

The annoying person left, Jiang Rongxuan turned around again, with a bright smile on his face, "Finally left, he is too annoying."

Li Sinian stared at him for two seconds, and slowly moved the corners of his mouth, showing a smile, "Come in, we just stay and have dinner together."

"it is good."

Li Sinian made it easier for the two of them to eat.

Jiang Rongxuan was listening to the movement in the outer room. When the meal was almost ready, he went into the kitchen to help bring out the dishes.

The two picked up their bowls to eat silently, halfway through the meal, Jiang Rongxuan spoke first, "What did Lin Yuan tell you today?"

Li Sinian stopped his chopsticks, "Didn't you hear everything?"

"Only halfway through, he told you to stay away from me. What else did you say before that?"

Li Sinian's face instantly became a little unnatural.

It wasn't because of anything else, but mainly because he felt that what Lin Yuan said was really disgusting and made him feel physically uncomfortable, so he didn't even want to repeat it.

So he vaguely summed it up: "It's nothing, just that I really want to see me."

When Jiang Rongxuan saw this, the smile in his eyes faded, "Then what do you think, brother?"

"What do you think?"

"Lin Yuan said he wanted to see you, do you want to see him?"

"Huh?" Li Sinian tilted his head in confusion, "I definitely don't want to. Didn't you see that I locked him out and didn't let him in?"

"He is really ridiculous. I haven't seen him for so long and he didn't say he wanted to see me. He only started to want to see me when he found out that his dream lover was different from his ideal. What am I? A spare tire to soothe his sadness? "

"His visit today really disgusts me. When I think about my relationship with him...well, I'm so disgusted that I don't even want to say anything."

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing what he said, the smile in Jiang Rongxuan's eyes came back a little, "Yes, he is just disgusting, brother, don't listen to him, he is the one you should stay away from."

Li Sinian nodded, then looked at him again, and asked, "Why did Lin Yuan come to me and tell me to stay away from you, do you know him?"

Jiang Rongxuan nodded, "I know."

"Why do you call him Big Brother?"

Jiang Rongxuan did not answer, but asked: "Brother, do you believe what he said?"

"what?"

"I'm not as innocent as I seem to be. My goodness to you is purposeful."

Li Sinian pondered for a while, and replied: "I think whether you are consistent with the outside and the inside should be a very accurate judgment for everyone."

"I think you are a relatively successful person in your career. How can a successful person be a simple little white rabbit, right? If you think about it with your toes, you will know."

Jiang Rongxuan nodded, and said in a whispered voice: "That means you believe what he said that I am not a good person..."

Li Sinian frowned lightly.

He didn't mean that, he just wanted to say that no one would think that Jiang Rongxuan is a very simple person, this is a very intuitive fact, and he would think so without Lin Yuan telling him.

Jiang Rongxuan is not the kind of person who has low EQ and can't speak, but the words he asked today are really uncomfortable

Jiang Rongxuan just said that it was not enough, and then asked: "Then brother, do you think I have some other purpose in being nice to you?"

Li Sinian felt uncomfortable in his heart, "I don't believe you if you don't talk about it, tell the truth, do you have a purpose in being nice to me?"

Jiang Rongxuan stopped talking.

He pursed his lips and looked at Li Sinian with a very hurt expression, "So you just don't believe me."

Li Sinian laughed angrily, he felt that Jiang Rongxuan seemed extraordinarily...unreasonable today.

He said: "It is a fact that you are very kind to me, and it is also a fact that you are kind to me without reason, so why can't I doubt your purpose?"

Jiang Rongxuan lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "I treat you with a purpose, but my purpose is not what Lin Yuan said, I will not harm you."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes again, "Brother, do you believe me?"

There seemed to be mist in his eyes, and Li Sinian's unhappiness disappeared instantly when he met his eyes, and he even felt a little more distressed.

Forget it, no matter how powerful Jiang Rongxuan is, he is only in his early 20s, and with such a miserable family, it is normal to feel insecure.

Li Sinian sighed, and his tone softened, "I trust you, I have my own judgment, I know who is sincere and who is not."

He felt that today's Jiang Rongxuan was particularly fond of digging into horns, and it was useless to dwell on this topic, so he asked the previous question, "Why do you call Lin Yuan big brother?"

Jiang Rongxuan asked back: "What do you think?"

He probably also noticed that Li Sinian was not very happy, so he hurriedly added, "I think you should be able to guess, brother."

Li Sinian shook his head helplessly, and said what he thought, "You said that before you returned to Jiang's house, you were sent back to your father's house as an illegitimate child, and then you were taken back by your grandma's house, and your surname was changed. Ginger now."

"If I remember correctly, there are three children in the Lin family, and Lin Yuan is the eldest. His younger brothers and sisters call him eldest brother, and you called him eldest brother just now..."

"So, your father is Lin Wenshui?"

Lin Wenshui is Lin Yuan's father and the chairman of Songyuan Foods.

Jiang Rongxuan continued to nod, "Yes."

"Really..." Li Sinian asked again: "Then the elder brother you said was bad to you is actually Lin Yuan, and the family who abused you is actually the Lin family?"

"Yes."

"Oh—then you used to be in the same school as me."

"Yes." Jiang Rongxuan stared at him with burning eyes, "I am two years younger than you, and I was in the first year of high school when you were in the third year of high school."

Li Sinian nodded, and was about to say what a coincidence, as if he suddenly thought of something, his breath suddenly stopped.

He raised his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Jiang Rongxuan said that he had a crush on someone for six years, a senior who was two years older than him, because that person helped him when he was bullied...

Jiang Rongxuan said that he had a purpose to be nice to him, but it was not the kind of purpose that Lin Yuan thought...

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Rongxuan knew that he had almost guessed something.

He smiled, and changed the topic in time, "By the way, brother, I checked about your biological father. The truth cannot be said to be exactly the same as what Li Cheng described, but it has nothing to do with it."

Li Sinian felt that he might be the person Jiang Rongxuan said he had a crush on a lot, but seeing Jiang Rongxuan being so calm now, he was not sure.

Is it right?If so, why didn't Jiang Rongxuan speak out?If not, why would he fit the characteristics of Jiang Rongxuan's crush.

Mainly, it's not easy for him to ask this kind of question, so why not just say: Jiang Rongxuan, let me ask you, didn't you say before that you have a crush on someone for six years?Is that person me?

No matter whether Jiang Rongxuan answered yes or no, the scene would be very embarrassing.

Jiang Rongxuan watched Li Sinian's eyes turn wildly, and waited for a while before speaking again, "Brother? Did you hear me?"

"Ah?" Li Sinian came back to his senses, "Oh, sorry, I was distracted, what did you just say?"

Forget it, Jiang Rongxuan didn't say it, so he shouldn't think too much, if he thinks too much in the end, it will be really embarrassing.

Jiang Rongxuan repeated what he said just now, "The truth I found out is completely different from what Li Cheng said."

Mentioning this, Li Sinian's wandering thoughts came back, and he asked, "What's going on?"

"According to the results of my investigation, your biological father's surname is Qin. He is a very smart and talented person. Unfortunately, his family is poor, and because of entanglements with your mother, life is not going well."

Jiang Rongxuan said: "The most important thing is that he died 24 years ago."

Li Sinian's eyes froze, "Dead? 24 years ago?"

Isn't that the time when his father betrayed Lian Menglei in the story Li Cheng told.

Jiang Rongxuan nodded, "My investigation is very accurate. He died 24 years ago, that's right."

"Your father, Mr. Qin's grandfather, that is, your great-grandfather, used to be an imperial cook in the Qing Palace. The family can't be said to be prominent, but life is still good."

"Later, the Qing Palace became the Forbidden City, and the cooks were kicked out. Your great-grandfather bought a house in a county near Beijing and settled there."

"Because of your great grandfather, your family has been cooks for several generations, but when it comes to your father's generation, he seems to be very smart, so he didn't continue to study cooking, but chose to study."

"Your father met your mother at Peking University. At that time, the school held a hometown food event. Your father won the championship in that competition because he was familiar with the cooking skills of the elders in the family."

"Your mother also fell in love with your father because of that game. The two of them have been in love for a long time. Even the family members look down on your father's background. Your mother persisted for a long time before she succeeded in dating your father. together."

"You will know what happened later. There was an accident in the Lian family. Your mother had no choice but to turn to Li Cheng for help and temporarily separated from your father. A year later, your mother was sad because of your father's betrayal. Gray and cold."

"In fact, it was not your father who betrayed your mother, but Li Cheng lied to Mr. Qin that your mother was in a trance and had serious suicidal tendencies, and it was all because of him."

"Li Cheng told your father that if your mother wants to live in peace and stability, she must forget him, so Li Cheng gave your father a script, let your father act according to the script he gave, and let your mother give up .”

"I don't know the specific details, but your father is a very rigorous person. Li Cheng must have done a lot to let him cooperate."

"Anyway, the final result is that in order to keep your mother alive, your father said those hurtful things to your mother according to Li Cheng's request."

"Your mother was disheartened after she came home, and of course he didn't feel better. According to his former neighbors, your father lived in a muddle before he died. He didn't work every day, but he knew how to drink. , like a walking dead."

"Then suddenly for a while, he disappeared, and it took almost a month before he was discovered to have died at home. The body was decomposed in a large area, and the room was full of stench."

"Everyone said that he died suddenly due to alcoholism, but I don't know the truth. It's been too long, and his body has been cremated long ago. There is really no result."

After listening, Li Sinian was silent for a long time before slowly nodding, "I see, thank you."

"It's nothing, it's just a little effort." Jiang Rongxuan looked at him and said, "Brother, you are not an illegitimate child, you are the crystallization of your parents' love. It is not your fault that Li Cheng took your love and ruined your family."

"Ah."

There is still half of the food on the table, but it is already cold, and it needs to be reheated before it can continue to eat.

But both of them lost their appetite now, so Li Sinian didn't bother anymore, and put the leftover dishes in the refrigerator.

It was getting late, and it was time for Jiang Rongxuan to go back. He said goodbye to Li Sinian and prepared to leave.

Li Sinian sent him out of the yard, and when he was about to turn around, Li Sinian called him back again.

Jiang Rongxuan turned around, "What's wrong?"

Li Sinian asked: "You insist on investigating my biological father, is it because you have been treated as an illegitimate child before?"

Jiang Rongxuan nodded, "Yes. Although children are innocent, the reason why illegitimate children appear is due to the mistakes of the previous generation, but everyone understands the truth. Who can really separate illegitimate children from their parents who made mistakes? ?”

"I have been the illegitimate child of the Lin family for more than a year. I understand very well what this title of 'illegitimate child' will bring to people, so I hope to find out the truth of the matter, and I don't want you to bear unwarranted infamy."

"Thank you..." Li Sinian didn't know what to say, so he could only thank him again: "Thank you."

Jiang Rongxuan smiled, "Am I fine?"

"Yes... yes very good."

"I also think I'm fine." Jiang Rongxuan murmured softly, then waved at him, "I'm going back, contact me on WeChat if you need anything."

"okay."

After sending Jiang Rongxuan away, Li Sinian returned to the room and started to be in a daze.

He actually turned on his phone to play games to pass the time, but for some reason, he couldn't concentrate today.

He thought about his own life experience for a while, thinking that his miserable life was all because of the grievances of his previous generation, how innocent he was;

After a while, I thought that Jiang Rongxuan was really kind to him, better than everyone he met in his two lifetimes combined;

For a while, I wondered who Jiang Rongxuan had a crush on;

After a while, Jiang Rongxuan said that he had a bad year in the Lin family, how bad it was, he is so old now, is it because he suffered too much grievances before...

The sound of Xiaoxiaole rang in the living room, and he let his thoughts fly along with the sound of the game.

Then I do not know when I fell asleep.

When he was in high school, he was forced by Li Cheng to learn how to handle the company's affairs, and he would go out with him every weekend to socialize. Although he was still an underage child, he had to drink glass after glass at the wine table. The good name is to learn to socialize.

He was very busy throughout his high school years, with studies, careers, specialties, entertainment, interpersonal relationships... etc., etc., all of his time was taken up.

He doesn't remember what his high school campus life was like at all, he only remembers how tired he was.

But tonight, those things that happened inadvertently and dusty in his memory entered his dream.

At that time, he had a very good relationship with Lin Yuan, and he was the person he had the most contact with in school every day.

I remember that it was at the end of a physical education class, a group of them went to the school supermarket to buy water, Lin Yuan was talking to him with a smile, but when he caught a glimpse of a certain figure, his expression changed.

That was the first time he saw Lin Yuan act in such a bullying manner.

Lin Yuan bought a cup of hot milk tea, called out all his friends who had a good relationship with him, and directly blocked the person who made him lose face in a corner, and poured a cup of hot milk tea over the boy's head.

Lin Yuan's family background is unusual, this is known to everyone in the school, so no one dares to take care of him when he lectures others, let alone tell the teacher.

Similarly, no one dared to help the person he taught.

Li Sinian is not a sympathetic person, but he does hate bullying from the bottom of his heart.

He wanted to go up and help the boy who was poured milk tea, but Lin Yuan said that that person was his father's illegitimate son, who ruined his family, so Li Sinian couldn't go up to help anymore.

Just like Jiang Rongxuan said, although everyone understands the truth that children are innocent, how many people can really separate innocent children from guilty parents?

Li Sinian didn't care about that junior, but that junior seemed to have a good relationship with him. When he went to the bathroom after school, he ran into that person again.

The junior was washing clothes with his upper body bare in the bathroom, and what he was washing was his blood-stained school uniform.

Compared to meeting in the afternoon, the junior is now in a more embarrassing situation, with injuries on his face and body, and one eye is swollen.

There was no one in the toilet after school. When Li Sinian went in, his junior raised his head, and the two looked at each other in the mirror.

The junior looked embarrassed, but his eyes were full of coldness. Such eyes eliminated other people's sympathy for him, and even made people feel a little more... fear of him.

At that time, this young man who had just entered high school already had such eyes.

The junior seemed to recognize him as the person next to Lin Yuan, looked at him, twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, then lowered his head to wash his clothes.

Li Sinian stared at the boy's back for a while, then turned and left.

He quickened his pace and went to the infirmary to get the medicine. When he came back, the junior was just putting on his wet clothes and was about to leave.

Fortunately, we caught up.

Without saying a word, Li Sinian stuffed a bunch of medicine into his arms.

The junior looked down at the bag containing the medicine, seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then threw the bag aside, as if he had picked up some extremely filthy garbage.

The junior seemed to say something to him, but he couldn't remember clearly. After finishing speaking, the junior bypassed him and was about to leave.

But Li Sinian felt that he was very angry. He didn't know if it was because of his junior's actions or his words, but he was very angry anyway.

He pulled the student back by his collar from behind, pressed him against the wall, and forcefully stuffed the bag containing the medicine back into the student's arms.

He also said a word, and likewise he forgot what he was going to say.

The junior accepted the medicine this time and didn't refuse it again.

The dream appeared in fragments, and after this scene ended, it was replaced by another scene.

In some cases, he went to the top of the teaching building to deliver the cakes that he took in the morning to the students. In some cases, he went to the classroom to put milk on a table. In some cases, he threw medicine into the arms of the students in the dead corner of the surveillance.

Every time what happens is different, what he brings is different, but the scenes are almost always in school.

Li Sinian has almost zero memories of campus life in high school and university, and he can't even remember the faces of teachers he doesn't see very often, but this dream is all about campus memories.

After waking up from the dream, Li Sinian realized that he had done so many things in school.

He also has memories of his student days, not just being unconscious when Li Cheng took him to various drinking tables on weekends, not just being unable to sleep at one or two o'clock every night, being forced by Li Cheng to finish his homework Handle company affairs.

He also had very simple memories.

Li Sinian sat up from the sofa, he slept here last night, his posture was extremely distorted, now he felt back pain, his bones creaked every time he moved.

He was still holding the phone in his hand, but the screen had been on all night, and the phone had run out of power and turned off automatically.

He charged his phone, and as soon as he turned it on, the WeChat notification sounded.

One person sent him a friend request, with the note saying 'I am Lin Yuan'.

Just as Li Sinian was about to refuse, another message popped up on the top of the screen, it was from Li Wenxing. Li Wenxing said he wanted to see him and talk to him.

Li Sinian was about to point his hand to reject the friend application, but he nodded instead.

Then he returned to the chat interface and asked Li Wenxing where to meet.

He didn't want to have anything to do with the Li family, but he was curious about something.

Li Wenxing has been devoting himself to stealing his things, what exactly is he thinking?
