After rebirth, I just want salted fish

Li Sinian originally only planned to grab a couple of bites and deal with it, but when Jiang Rongxuan came over, he wanted to be a little more formal.

It's still not cold yet, so Li Sinian cooked a few more cold dishes, and even took out the cold drink that was frozen in the refrigerator last night.

When Jiang Rongxuan saw him coming out with a plate, he smiled and said, "My brother is so enthusiastic every time I come here, and he feeds me well."

Li Sinian paused when he heard the words.

Why do you have a meal, what are you saying so strangely?

But when he looked up and saw Jiang Rongxuan's expression was normal, he felt that he was thinking too much.

Enthusiasm...feeding...he was talking about eating, and he was always very enthusiastic every time Jiang Rongxuan came, for fear that the other party would not have enough to eat.

The food was served on the table, and the two sat down beside the table.

Jiang Rongxuan didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood today. Usually when they sit and eat together, he talks a lot, but today he didn't have much to say.

This kind of silence is easy to distract people, Li Sinian suddenly wanted to confirm with Jiang Rongxuan whether the senior he said helped him in high school was himself?

Li Sinian raised his eyes slightly, and saw Jiang Rongxuan staring at the table with lowered eyes, eating seriously.

Probably because his gaze was too hot, within two seconds, Jiang Rongxuan also raised his eyes and met his gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Li Sinian licked his lips, and asked: "I was very busy in high school. I didn't remember anything except the knowledge in books."

"But I recently remembered something that happened in high school, and I found that... I seemed to know you before."

"It was just that I suddenly had a dream that day, and I remembered that Lin Yuan used to bully his younger brother who was brought back from the outside. I thought it was unnecessary, so I helped."

"Then I thought, Lin Yuan's family was mistaken for the younger brother of the illegitimate child, isn't that you, and then I realized that I knew you before."

Jiang Rongxuan nodded, "My brother finally remembered, it's really not easy."

Jiang Rongxuan's tone seemed to be complaining, and Li Sinian licked his face in embarrassment, "So you actually knew that I was in the same school as you a long time ago? Then why didn't you tell me."

"I just want to see when my brother will recognize me." Jiang Rongxuan said, "I initially imagined it to be half a year, but now it's almost a year and a half. I really overestimated my brother."

Li Sinian smiled apologetically, "I used to be very busy, very busy, I don't even remember my teacher who has been with me for three years... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you." Jiang Rongxuan smiled at him, "Then since my brother remembered that I knew you before, I also want to ask you a question."

"What, you ask."

"Do you remember what I said before, I have a crush on someone for six years. I didn't dare to confess to him before because I was afraid of being rejected. Now I feel that the time is almost right, and I kind of want to put my Express your heart to him..."

Li Sinian listened to him, the more he listened, the harder his fingers grasped the chopsticks.

He always felt that Jiang Rongxuan was going to say something extraordinary next.

Sure enough, in the next second, Jiang Rongxuan said: "Brother, do you mind if your significant other has the same gender as you?"

Li Sinian froze on the spot.

Jiang Rongxuan didn't rush him, but just looked at him very seriously, waiting for his reply very seriously.

He has been waiting for this moment for many years, and this moment is not bad.

But the pale fingertips betrayed his heart, and the two chopsticks rubbed against each other because he was holding them too tightly.

He is nervous.

Li Sinian parted his lips slightly, and it took him a while to recover.

He swallowed, and asked with some uncertainty: "Well, if I'm not mistaken, you mean..."

"You're right." Jiang Rongxuan took the lead and said, "What I mean is exactly what you think."

Li Sinian lowered his eyes.

Asking himself, he doesn't dislike Jiang Rongxuan, he even admires it.

He has never been in love, never found a girlfriend, never found a boyfriend; If it was a man like Jiang Rongxuan, he would not be disgusted.

Li Sinian's silence chilled Jiang Rongxuan's heart, but he still didn't rush, and quietly waited for the answer from the person opposite.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Li Sinian thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the result.

The thoughts in his mind have already gone to the question of 'if he is with Jiang Rongxuan, will his family disagree', but obviously Jiang Rongxuan just asked him if he would mind if his partner was a man.

Some things were said, but the atmosphere was awkward.

Jiang Rongxuan felt that this silence was a bit tormented, and hesitated to ask Li Sinian what he thought.

But as soon as this idea came up, a cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the room.

Li Sinian was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up the phone.

He was also a little nervous by Jiang Rongxuan's confession, and he didn't look at who was calling before answering the phone, only to find out after answering that it was Li Cheng.

But it was really fast enough, Li Wenxing just met him and said that Li Cheng might come to him, so he called right now.

Li Cheng's voice was full of exhaustion, it seemed that he was not having a good time these days.

Also, because of public opinion, although Li's vitality was not hurt, it was indeed in a slump for a while, and all of these were caused by Li Wenxing, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction among other shareholders in the company.

In short, Li Cheng is now facing a situation of internal and external troubles.

Li Cheng on the other end of the phone rarely gave him an order, but greeted him first: "How are you doing recently? Are you still used to living in Sioux City?"

"Is it too late to ask me if I'm used to living in Sioux City now?" Li Sinian thought it was funny, "I've been living here for more than a year, and I'm used to it if I'm not used to it."

Li Cheng was choked by his words, but soon he resumed talking, "It's your mother's birthday recently, come back, let's celebrate as a family."

Li Sinian smiled, "She is my mother, but you are not my father, we are not a family, you should be called Li Wenxing if you want to celebrate."

Li Cheng was choked again, and his attitude was not so good, "Even if he is an illegitimate child, he is still a member of the Li family. You have a duty to support me. If I need you, you must come back!"

"I'll give you three days. After three days, if I can't see you in Beijing, don't blame me for not being sympathetic and taking the legal route!"

"Mr. Li, do you have any misunderstanding about the word support? Have your age and financial level reached the standard for being supported?" Li Sinian paused, "Oh, your physical condition should have reached it. After staying in the hospital for so long, your liver is not in good condition, is it?"

"you--"

"If you insist on letting me go back to help you work, it's not impossible. Transfer half of the shares you hold to me, and I'll go back."

Li Cheng's voice was tinged with anger, "Don't even think about taking things from our house!"

"Look, I just said that we are a family, but now I want me not to take things from your family." Li Sinian was amused, "So you are still dreaming, I will be your marionette and call you Bai Gong?"

"Mr. Li, are you stupid, or am I stupid?"

He could only hear his heavy panting through the receiver, but he couldn't hear him, probably because he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Sinian just took advantage of the fact that he couldn't open his mouth and continued, "If you want to take the legal route, you can do it. I will accompany you to the end."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Rongxuan asked: "Is it Li Cheng again?"

"Ah."

Jiang Rongxuan frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "This man is really annoying, what did he just say?"

Li Sinian roughly told him what Li Cheng said, "His health is really bad, and he sued me for refusing to take responsibility for him as a father, maybe I really have to go back."

"So he wants to take the legal route, and I plan to take the legal route as well."

The law stipulates that the legal maximum penalty is 20 years, and the prosecution period for homicide cases with life imprisonment is 20 years. After 20 years, no appeal can be made.

However, if it is deemed necessary to prosecute after 20 years, it can also be reported to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval.

It has been more than 20 years since Li Sinian's biological father, whom he had never met, died. Jiang Rongxuan did not choose to call the police after finding out many suspicious points and evidence, because the litigation period had passed.

But since Li Chengfei wants to bind him with the identity of 'father and son', he can only find a way to untie him.

Jiang Rongxuan immediately understood what he meant, "You want to appeal?"

"Yes." Li Sinian said: "Without the corpse, there may not be conclusive evidence, but the ones you found are enough for Li Cheng to be busy."

"The company's internal and external troubles, coupled with the police investigation, he may not have time to talk to me again."

"And if this matter is exposed, I don't think he will dare to come to me again."

Li Sinian originally wanted to appeal to Li Cheng to give Li Cheng a warning. If the other party still didn't listen, he would use the great Internet to make his suspected murder even worse, and make him even more troubled.

But he never expected that shortly after the appeal, the police actually found the body of his biological father.

After Li Sinian's biological father died, Li Cheng found someone to dispose of the body, but the person Li Cheng found was timid and superstitious. He was afraid that if he did what Li Cheng said, he would be haunted by evil spirits, so They buried the man's body and erected a monument.

Fortunately, the person in charge of Li Cheng believed in the saying that it would be safe to burrow into the ground, so the body was preserved.

The forensic doctor examined the bones and confirmed that Li Sinian's biological father died of poisoning. Coupled with the evidence given by Jiang Rongxuan, the court sentenced Li Cheng to 20 years in prison for the crime of intentional homicide.

On the day of the court session, countless reporters gathered at the gate of the court.

The fact that a famous entrepreneur turned out to be a murderer is shocking!

Li Sinian also went. Apart from countless media and reporters that day, he also met his mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Lian Menglei was wearing a pink and white floral dress, her hair was tied into a high ponytail.

In fact, it is inappropriate for her to wear such clothes at her age, just like a little girl in junior high school wearing her mother's high heels, which is a bit strange.

But even Menglei took good care of her, so she didn't look ugly in this way.

The point is that the style of this dress is very old, like a style from more than 20 years ago.

Li Sinian guessed that this should be the clothes that Lian Menglei wore when she was with her biological father.

Lian Menglei was in the auditorium, and she started crying from the moment Li Cheng appeared, until Li Cheng was pushed away, her tears did not stop.

Li Sinian knew that she was definitely not crying for Li Cheng, but her and his biological father.

Li Cheng was taken away, and Li Sinian was about to turn his eyes away from Lian Menglei.

He felt that his mother was quite pitiful, but she was not a qualified mother, and he had no way to get close to her without any grudges.

Just when Li Sinian was about to look away, Lian Menglei suddenly turned her head and looked at each other, both of them froze in place.

Lian Menglei opened her mouth to him with red eyes. Li Sinian looked at it twice and recognized that she was saying: "A Nian, my A Nian, I'm sorry..."

Li Sinian bit his lower lip, endured the soreness in his nose, turned and left.

Before Li Cheng went to prison, he transferred all the assets under his name to Li Wenxing.

Because Li Cheng's assets were obtained legally, his murder would not affect his assets.

The Li family is a typical joint stock company, and the person with the most shares is the chairman, so Li Wenxing became the new chairman of the Li family.

Li Wenxing had always hoped to take over the company's affairs, he wanted rights.

But when he really started to serve as the chairman, he realized that he was still comfortable sleeping at home.

It wasn't until he was sitting in the conference room, receiving disdainful eyes from all directions, that he really understood what Li Cheng was doing.

How nice it is to keep Li Sinian's baigan marionette, these things are really too difficult to do!

For a limited company like Li's, since the start of its business, the chairman of the board has been in front of the Li family, and some people have long been dissatisfied.

Now that the chairman has been replaced by a little white rabbit who doesn't understand anything, those who are dissatisfied will naturally start to take action.

In the second month of Li Wenxing's tenure, the company's second largest shareholder, Wang Hai, used some tricks to coax Li Wenxing to donate all his shares to him.

Li Wenxing was so stupid, he was cheated and even counted the money. After Wang Hai took office for two months, he realized that something was wrong, and went to Wang Hai to settle the score, but was invited out by the security guard.

At this moment, Li Wenxing began to resent Li Cheng again. He thought it was Li Cheng's fault for spoiling him too much, which made him know nothing and was easily deceived.

Li Wenxing lost everything and no one helped him, so he thought of Lin Yuan.

He went to find Lin Yuan, but found that Lin Yuan's life was worse than his now. After all, he was just cheated out of his shares, and he still had money and a house. Tens of millions of debts.

This time Li Wenxing didn't dare to think about Lin Yuan any more, and turned his thoughts on others. He had also tricked a few friends from Li Sinian before.

But it's strange, originally he was very charming, and he could get whatever he wanted, but this time his charm didn't work. Those things and people that he could get easily before, now all avoid him like snakes and scorpions.

Li Wenxing had no choice but to sell the house.

When Li Sinian learned that the Li family's villa was sold, he was having dinner with Jiang Rongxuan at home.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of reunion, Li Sinian has no relatives, originally he only planned to eat two bites by himself, but Jiang Rongxuan came over unexpectedly.

Li Sinian felt that Jiang Rongxuan should go back to Jiang's house to celebrate the New Year on such a day, but Jiang Rongxuan said: "The Spring Festival is spent at home, you have to let me come to accompany you during the Lantern Festival."

"Besides, my grandfather knows that I haven't chased the person I like yet, but he dislikes me and won't let me in. He said that there is no such a worthless man in Lao Jiang's family. If I still can't catch him , won’t let me go back.”

This conversation was between the two standing at the door. After Li Sinian finished speaking, his face was expressionless and his hands were vigorous, intending to slap Jiang Rongxuan outside the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Rongxuan didn't dare to be shy anymore, and kept saying flattery, "I'm wrong with my brother, I'm starving to death, let me go in and eat."

The glutinous rice balls were served on the table with the dishes, and while eating and chatting, the two mentioned the sale of the Li family villa.

In fact, after Li Cheng was imprisoned, he didn't pay much attention to the news of the Li family. It was only after seeing the news this time that he knew that the Li family had changed the chairman.

Maybe it should be called Wang Shi now.

Li Sinian was not surprised by this news.

"This result is certain, it's just a matter of time," he said.

Jiang Rongxuan also agreed, "That idiot is really not a management company material."

Li Sinian thought of the business news that was on the hot search list every day, and asked, "Songyuan Foods went bankrupt...you did it?"

"Yes," Jiang Rongxuan admitted very generously, "I have been an illegitimate child in their family for three years, and I have eaten cold food leftovers for three years. Those grievances can't be in vain, right?"

Li Sinian nodded and didn't speak again.

Jiang Rongxuan looked at him for a while, raised his leg under the table, and gently rubbed against Li Sinian's ankle, "Brother, am I vicious?"

Li Sinian withdrew his leg and gave him a white look, "Yes, you are so vicious, don't eat it, let's go."

Jiang Rongxuan curled his lips aggrieved again, "Brother, you dislike me."

"Can you stop calling me old brother, you really look like a... male green tea."

"That can't be done, I can call it that, but with your permission, you can't go back on your word."

Li Sinian remembered that when they first started their business, he had promised Jiang Rongxuan that he could call him brother.

Jiang Rongxuan seemed to know what he was thinking, and denied it: "I didn't agree when I first started my business, but you agreed long ago, in high school."

Li Sinian didn't think about it, Jiang Rongxuan helped him recall it carefully.

That was when Jiang Rongxuan was beaten all over by Lin Yuan's friend again. Li Sinian went to the open space on the roof to deliver medicine to him, and he also brought meat floss and rice balls by the way.

He watched Jiang Rongxuan eat and apply medicine, and he went up to help where he couldn't reach.

After the wounds on Jiang Rongxuan's body were healed, Li Sinian was ready to leave.

Jiang Rongxuan stopped him from behind and said, "Be my brother."

Li Sinian turned his head and looked at him puzzled.

Jiang Rongxuan slightly opened his eyes, and whispered: "No one was so kind to me before, Lin Yuan finds someone to beat me every day, but I have to call him brother, I don't want to, I want to call you brother, I think brother should be like you .”

He thought for a while, and added, "At least it should be like you."

Li Sinian smiled lightly, "You can call it out if you want, it's up to you."

Li Sinian was in a hurry to go home, and Li Cheng wanted to arrange tasks for him, so he left quickly.

After he left, Jiang Rongxuan called "brother" softly towards the direction he left.
