Chapter 162: Torrents (21)
"What!"
The first person to react was Li Chong. He stood up suddenly and asked with a little excited expression, "But Ji'er is back?"
The servant hurriedly bowed and said happily, "If you say that to the elder, it is Mr. Ji who is back." [..com]
Before the servant finished speaking, Li Chong walked out impatiently. Li hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Dui, who had a calm face on the side, and followed him quickly.
Although Zhao Xin had a good relationship with this cousin, he didn't miss this far, and he was not very impatient. Moreover, his future wife's family was still in the hall, so he couldn't leave them and leave.
The expression on Li Dui's face was wonderful. First, he couldn't help but be happy when he heard his son's rest, and then he looked angry again.
Zhao Xin knew a little bit about the matter between Li Dui and his son, and knew that the relationship between father and son was very bad. But after all, they were close relatives, so the father and son could not give up. So when he heard his son coming back, Li Du's first reaction was joy. Then he thought that his son didn't even say hello, his biological father, was really ruined, so he became angry again.
Ran Bian also felt something was wrong with Li Du. He thought that his own people were slight and did not want to get involved in the Li family's internal affairs, so he said goodbye to Li Du. Li Du was not interested in other things at this time, so he did not try to keep him, but asked Zhao Xin to send their family out.
Zhao Xin was delivered to the door, and Ran Bin smiled and said, "My nephew, please stay, please say goodbye to the old man on our behalf, and said that I will definitely visit you every day."
Zhao Xin bowed his hand and replied with a smile, "Uncle Ran is polite, I will definitely bring you this." Since the two of them still agreed to a father-in-law and son-in-law, Zhao Xin himself could not call him his official position anymore, so he vaguely called Uncle Ran.
Ran Bian didn't care, but just nodded with a smile, and looked at Zhao Xin again, feeling a little satisfied with this son-in-law. Although Zhao Xin had offended Gongzicheng, Li Dui was now at the peak of his life and was also Gongzicheng's most important ally. Being able to get the goodwill of the Li family is undoubtedly a great benefit to Ran Bian.
Moreover, in his personal relationship, he also felt that Zhao Xin would be the best destination for his daughter. He was not only handsome but also talented. He became the Yulin Commander at a young age, and he really had a bright future. Most importantly, Zhao Xin was very different from those playboys with bad records. Before Zhao Xin visited Ran's mansion for the first time, Ran Bian sent someone to investigate him and found that he had no bad habits except for some young and naughty and fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Even more rare is that Ran Min doesn't seem to hate him. This is already a very rare phenomenon, which makes Ran Bian's mind come alive.
You should know that this strange-sex daughter made him work hard. Compared with ordinary girls, Ran Min's thoughts were too strange and incredible. Even his father, who had grown up since childhood, couldn't stand it. Fortunately, there seems to be another alien Zhao Xin who can catch her eyes.
Therefore, Ran Bian seemed to be passionate about Zhao Xin, and he was talking and laughing along the way, asking questions from time to time. Before leaving, he did not forget to hold Zhao Xin's hand and invite him to the mansion repeatedly, and then said goodbye.
However, Ran Min kept her head down and never talked to Zhao Xin. Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at Zhao Xin, but saw him standing there, staring at his back in a daze. His eyes immediately met, Ran Min couldn't help but blush and turned her head quickly.
Knowing that Ran Min's back disappeared, Zhao Xin then withdrew his gaze, but he felt that he had a lot of emotion in his heart. He suddenly felt that he had another wife. Although this wife was Ran Min whom he had long admired for, he still felt a little strange in his heart.
I was used to being free and easy alone, but suddenly realized that I was at the age of starting a family and starting a career, which made him somewhat confused.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of any reason, so I had to leave these behind and stop thinking about them for the time being.
When he returned to the yard, Zhao Xin smiled from a distance and talked to a tall young man with a smile. Zhao He and Li stood aside with a smile on their faces. It is not difficult to guess that this young man must be Li Ji, the cousin who had not met for a long time.
Although it has not been seen for many years, Li Ji has not changed much. He is still the stubborn and noble boy back then. He has no weakness of a bookish spirit, his figure is no longer thin, his face is a little tanned, and he looks much more capable and energetic.
When Li Ji saw someone coming, he looked at him and was stunned when he saw Zhao Xin. After eating for a while, he asked tentatively, "Zhao Xin..."
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Why can't my cousin recognize me?"
Li Ji laughed loudly, strode forward and hugged Zhao Xin, and said with a smile, "I said Zhao Xin, you are so fast. You were still here with me back then."
As he said that, he gestured to his chest with his hands, and then continued, "I didn't expect that now I am as tall as me. I haven't seen you for five years. You guy has become an adult, and I almost can't recognize you."
When Li Ji left home, Zhao Xin was just ten years old. At that time, he was a wild child who only knew how to be naughty all day long. At that time, Li Ji was already fifteen years old and was considered a little adult. From ten to fifteen years old, it was the critical moment of growing up. His appearance and body shape changed greatly, and Li Ji could hardly recognize him."
The two were talking and laughing, and they heard a heavy cough coming from behind. Looking in the voice, Li Dui had already walked out of the yard with a dark face. Although he was walking towards Li Ji, his eyes never fell on him. Until he walked in front of him, he looked at him in a bad tone and said, "Why are you back?"
Li Ji's smile had faded, but he just looked at Li Dui and replied faintly; "Report to Li Siko, the lower official has asked Shangguan for a day off and rode a horse to Handan overnight. It did not violate the law of our Great Zhao. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."
Li Dui's expression was stunned, but he didn't expect that his son would discuss business with him in a stern manner. He was a person who valued his father's authority so much that he could not tolerate his son to be so arrogant when he was forced to be so arrogant. He immediately said angrily, "You evil son, didn't you say that you didn't recognize me as your father in this life? Why is this today?"
Li Ji said calmly, "Li Siko misunderstood. I came here just to celebrate my grandfather's birthday and fulfill my grandson's filial piety, but it has nothing to do with you."
Li Dui was almost angry at his son's words, and he stepped forward and fisted.
Zhao He, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Li Dui, while Li stopped Li Ji, and after all, he could not persuade him.
Li Ji did not dodge, but just stood there with his head raised, sneering, "Even if you beat me, how dare you not accept it? My mother died long ago, and now I have no relationship with this family. If it weren't for my grandfather's birthday, I wouldn't have been willing to step into this door in this life."
"Enough." Li Chong, who was standing beside him, could no longer watch and roared.
He glared at Li Ji again, "I am my parents who are obeyed by my body and hair. Do you think you can clear it up with just a word of 'no matter'? No matter how wrong your father is, he is your father. What he does is for the Li family. As a son, you are not qualified to blame your father."
Li Ji looked dissatisfied. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute, but he still held back and just lowered his head.
Li Chong turned his gaze to Li Dui who was being held back, and this time he was really angry. "And you, don't think I don't know what you have done over the years. I have warned you long ago not to do anything for the sake of power. A gentleman does something and does not do anything. If you are devoted to your own selfishness, then it's no wonder Ji'er hates you so much. Sometimes even my father can't stand it."
Li Dui raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Father, it would be a bit unfair to say this. If it weren't for my hard work, how could our Li family turn danger into safety? Now it's even more prosperous. I'm devoted myself to my family, but my father blames it and my son betrays me. It's really disappointing."
Seeing Li Dui contradicting him, Li Chong was furious and waved his cane to beat him. Zhao Xin, who was idle, hurriedly grabbed his grandfather when he saw this. Li Dui hurriedly turned his eyes to Li Dui. Seeing his father angry, Li Dui did not dare to contradict him anymore and let Li Chong scold him.
