When Li Zhenruo heard that Yu Bingwei actually had chosen to break up with Li Zhenzi, Li Zhenruo would have laughed out loud if he hadnât been concerned about Li Zhenranâs presence here. However, the smile on his face was not concealed, and he said, âItâs a good breakup.â
Li Zhenzi frowned and looked at him, âWhat does my affair with her have to do with you?â
Li Zhenruo didnât want to say more, mainly because he didnât want Li Zhenran to think too much. He grabbed Li Zhenranâs finger and put it to his mouth and bit it lightly, stood up from his lap and said, âForget it, it really has nothing to do with me, do as you like it.â
Li Zhenzi was a little upset when he saw their two actions being close, and said, âDonât bring a man to my place to show your affection.â
Li Zhenruo snorted coldly.
Li Zhenran also stood up, patted Li Zhenruoâs face, and said to Li Zhenzi, âThen Iâll go first, you should be careful these two days.â
Hearing Li Zhenran said he was going to leave, Li Zhenzi was somewhat reluctant, but he finally stood up and said, âI know.â
Li Zhenran said, âThere are too many people coming and going in the hotel, and if you are afraid that your place is not safe, I will find a place for you. After you made a contact, someone will pick you up.â
Li Zhenzi nodded, looked at Li Zhenran, and said in a rare sincere tone, âThank you, second brother.â
Li Zhenran patted his shoulder.
After getting into the car, Li Zhenruo said in a muffled voice, âWhy are you being so nice to Li Zhenzi?â
Li Zhenran drove the car out of the parking lot and asked him, âHow nice I am?â
Li Zhenruo put one hand on the edge of the car window, âI havenât seen you care so much about my affairs since I was a child.â
Li Zhenran smiled when he heard the words, âDo you want to say that you are jealous?â
Li Zhenruo said frankly, âUm.â
Li Zhenran reached out and pinched his jaw, âThe timing is different, the circumstance is different, and there is no comparison.â
Li Zhenruo looked at him, âAre you trying to say that now you and Li Zhenzi are going to fight against Li Zhentai?â
Li Zhenran replied, âI didnât want to deal with him, but I canât let him screw me over.â
Although such a big thing happened from Li Zhenziâs side, the Li family was calm and no one mentioned it at all. Only occasionally when Li Zhenruo used his cell phone to surf the Internet, he would realize how much of a fuss this matter was.
But Li Jianglin was not willing to ask, so other people naturally dared not mention it in front of him. Even Wang Ma secretly asked Li Zhenran what happened to Li Zhenzi.
Li Zhenran said to Wang Ma, âDonât worry, he is in his twenties, and he will handle his own affairs.â
The temperature was getting lower and lower day by day, and Li Zhenruo felt like he was starting to shed his fur. As long as he stayed at home, there was cat hair everywhere.
The aunt who cleaned the house didnât like cats very much, so she disliked him a little. It was fine when there are other people around. If there is no one else around, the cleaning aunt will always drive him away with a broom when she saw him.
Once he was lying on the couch quietly, and that aunt was also holding a hand-held vacuum cleaner, which was buzzing and waving at him to scare him away.
Li Zhenruo was a little depressed.
Fortunately, Li Zhenran didnât dislike him no matter what, even if he was nestled in Li Zhenranâs arms and rubbed his fur all over him, Li Zhenran had no objection.
It was a pity that Li Jianglin still giving Li Zhenran a cold shoulder.
Regarding Li Zhenranâs unrepentance, Li Jianglin didnât know if he would rather be tough with him to the end. Until now, half a month has passed, and neither father nor son was willing to give in.
And so Li Zhenzi went into hiding. All the work was remotely controlled on the internet and telephone, and no one knew where he was.
One afternoon, Li Zhenran was sitting on the bed reading a book, and Li Zhenruo was lying between his legs. He stared at the middle of his pants for a long time and when he just had the urge to bite down, Li Zhenranâs cell phone rang.
At the same time that Li Zhenran connected the phone, Li Zhenruo gave a serious bite, causing Li Zhenranâs âhelloâ to instantly rose a few octaves.
Li Zhenruo raised his head and looked at Li Zhenran. Li Zhenran carried him by the back of his neck and threw him off the bed, and said to the person over the phone, âIâm fine, you can talk.â
Suddenly Li Zhenruo thought of trying to scare him. Li Zhenruo lowered his upper body and raised the back half of his height, making an ambush to attack, aiming at the middle of Li Zhenranâs legs.
As a result, Li Zhenran answered the phone, raised his foot and kicked him in the face as he jumped up, causing Li Zhenruo to roll in midair and fall onto the bed.
âWell, okay, I see, you send me the address.â
This was Li Zhenranâs last sentence. He then hung up the phone and said to Li Zhenruo, âUncle Luoâs address has been found.â
Li Zhenruoâs hair was originally standing at first, and he wanted to fight with Li Zhenran. When he heard this sentence, he was stunned and raised his head to look at Li Zhenran.
Nowadays, the internet was too developed. Unless Luo Yunguang could find someone to change his identity, he could only live in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, to ensure that he would not be found.
Despite this, Li Zhenran still spent some time because he didnât want to alarm Li Jianglin, otherwise, it should be faster.
When he saw Li Zhenruo stunned, Li Zhenran scratched Li Zhenruoâs chin with his toes and said, âWant to find him?â
Of course.
Li Zhenruo really wanted to know the past between Li Jianglin and his mother, but when he got closer to the truth of the matter, he suddenly felt a little afraid, and he was always afraid of knowing something terrible.
Just like when he went to Zhao Yuqiongâs hometown at that time, the words he heard from Zhao Yushengâs mouth made him feel depressed for a long time.
Li Zhenran saw him lying motionless, shaking his feet in front of him, âWhat? Got attacked at the vital point?â
Only then did Li Zhenruo come back to look at him.
Li Zhenran probably guessed what he was thinking, and continued to gently scratch his chin with his toes, âDonât worry too much, Iâll go with you.â
Li Zhenruo hugged Li Zhenranâs feet and pressed his chin to the back of his foot.
Li Zhenran said to him, âNo matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the time you died. What do you think?â
When Li Zhenruo heard him say that, he thought to himself, how worse could it be? Anyway, he was kicked out of the house and died once. He clearly knew that he was not Li Jianglinâs son. No matter what happened to Li Jianglin in the past, it had nothing to do with him. He didnât need to be so frightened, he just needed to understand the past clearly.
Finally, Li Zhenruo nodded.
After Luo Yunguang left the Li family back then, he went directly to other provinces and lived in a small county town.
His life was very simple. For a long time, he really seemed to live in seclusion. If it was then, Li Zhenran might not be able to find out his whereabouts. However, now, he was not too young. He had a daughter who seemed to have just graduated from college, and the family lived a dull and happy life.
Through his means, Li Zhenran was able to find out some traces of Luo Yunguangâs life, including the identities of his wife and daughter registered under his household registration.
The distance was a little far, so they didnât drive, but bought tickets to fly there directly.
When he arrived at the nearest city, Li Zhenran borrowed a car from a friend and drove Li Zhenruo to that small county.
The small county town was very old with many old houses with red bricks and blue tiles have wooden façades. For Li Zhenruo, who was not yet 24 years old, it was like a picture that can only be seen on TV.
Although the memory was a little fuzzy, Li Zhenruo still remembered that Luo Yunguang and Li Jianglin had a very good relationship.
Li Jianglin was a sentimental person, which could be seen from his attitude towards Wen Chunâs parents. If Wen Chun was not the daughter of his old friend, Li Jianglin would definitely not insist on marrying Li Zhentai and Wen Chun.
But why did Li Jianglin allow Luo Yunguang who was his right-hand man for many years to live in such a cramped and dilapidated old county town?
The narrowest old roads in the county were not even accessible by car.
Li Zhenran parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door and got out of the car with Li Zhenruo and walked in together.
Li Zhenruo put his hands in his pockets and said to Li Zhenran as he walked forward, âIs there any conflict between Li Jianglin and Uncle Luo?â
In fact, Li Zhenran was not very old at that time. He recalled it and replied, âI didnât notice it.â
âDonât you think that with Li Jianglinâs attitude towards his subordinates, he wouldnât treat Uncle Luo like this?â
Li Zhenran said, âIt could be that Uncle Luo wants to retire himself.â
Li Zhenruo walked in front of him, turned around and faced him, âUncle Luo was not very old at that time, right? So he retired at a young age and lived in poverty in this small county?â
Li Zhenran stopped, âPerhaps you misunderstood, this small county is indeed very poor, but it does not mean that Uncle Luo is poor.â
Li Zhenruo frowned at him.
Li Zhenran continued, âAs long as you have money, you can live a good life anywhere.â
Li Zhenruo thought for a while, nodded and said, âOkay.â
In fact, Luo Yunguangâs living environment was really not as depressing as they imagined.
According to the address obtained by Li Zhenran, they asked all the way and found that Luo Yunguangâs house turned out to be a small two-story building. On one side of the street, there was a big closed iron gate between the two shops.
The street was narrow, and there were not many pedestrians.
When they asked for directions, Li Zhenruo curiously asked the old man on the side of the road why this street was so old. The old man told them that this street was originally an old street in the old city and was the earliest commercial street in the county. Later, other streets were demolished, but this old street was not demolished because it was mostly private property. In the end, it was simply preserved as a pedestrian street. Every night after dinner, everyone liked to take a walk on this street.
What Luo Yunguang owned was not only a small two-story building in the centre of the earliest commercial street but also all the shops around the small building were his.
Li Zhenran looked at Li Zhenruo with a âSeeâ expression on his face.
Li Zhenruo ignored him and knocked on the big iron gate with his hand.
The owner of the shop next to him poked his head out and said, âNot in, come later You see him and his wife are out this afternoon.â
Li Zhenruo retracted his hand and said, âOh, thank you.â
