Chapter 283 I'm a little confused
The sun rises.
Great compassion.
A small town under Chaozhou.
There are no tall buildings, the tallest building is only three stories high. The houses are built along a river, close to the mountains and the water. Many elderly uncles and aunts sit at the door with chairs, chatting facing the river.
The children were laughing and playing on the bluestone road, and the whole town seemed to have returned to the 1980s.
Li Xin walked on the stone road of the town. To be honest, he was afraid of this town. Ever since he was old enough to understand, his father had told him that this town was the root of their Li family, where people from the main branch of the Li family lived. And everything they, the branches, did was to serve the people from the main branch.
Li Xin parked his car outside the town’s neighborhood sign. It was not that cars couldn’t drive into Daci Town, but that they were not allowed to drive in.
Half an hour later, Li Xin arrived at his destination.
In front of me is an ancient house.
On a plaque in the middle of the house were hung four large characters: Daci Li Shi!
Taking a deep breath, Li Xin knocked on the door.
A few minutes later, the door opened.
"The boy is Li Xin, and the grandfather is Li Weihai."
Seeing the middle-aged man walking out of the door, Li Xin hurriedly and respectfully reported his identity.
"Grandson of Li Weihai, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the other party calling his grandfather, who was nearly eighty years old, by his name, and even showing no respect in his words, Li Xin felt a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it at all.
"Someone asked me to send a visiting card to the host's house."
As soon as Li Xin said this, the middle-aged man's face immediately darkened. He waved his hand and slammed the visiting card that Li Xin handed over with both hands to the ground.
"How dare you! As a member of a branch clan, you should know what you can and cannot do. Go back and let Li Weihai teach you the clan rules."
Bang!
The middle-aged man closed the door directly. Li Xin stood there in a daze, followed by panic. Of course he knew the clan rules, but he didn't expect that the master really didn't give them any face.
At least, you should finish what you want to say, or take a look at the visiting card.
"Oh, they were kicked out before they even got through the door."
A familiar voice came from behind him, and when Li Xin turned around, he saw Li Xin's mocking expression.
"To tell you the truth, after my second uncle told grandpa about it, grandpa told me about it. He said that if the master got angry, he wanted me to plead for you. Guess what I did?"
Li Xin understood instantly that it was Li Xin who was behind this.
It is impossible for Li Xin to have any relationship with the people of the host family, but Yang Lin does. As long as Yang Lin says something to the young lady of the host family, the young lady will tell the guard, so the guard is so impatient.
"Li Xin, just prepare to be a useless person for the rest of your life."
No one in their family can start a business independently from the family. He took control of the company himself. When grandpa was still alive, he would give Li Xin living expenses. When grandpa got old, he started to torture Li Xin.
Li Xin looked at Li Xin. He didn't know why Li Xin was so hostile to him. It was his grandfather who arranged for him to manage the company, and he believed that he had been good to his uncle's family. The company's dividends were given according to his grandfather's regulations.
People like Li Xin simply cannot compete with others in the business world. When the company's business is not doing well, he doesn't believe that the owner will still support Li Xin.
The host family also needs money to maintain.
Thinking of this, Li Xin said nothing and left.
Seeing that Li Xin said nothing, Li Xin thought that Li Xin was afraid of him. With a smug look on his face, he walked towards the door. When he passed by the visiting card on the ground, he picked it up as if possessed.
He learned from his grandfather that Li Xin was sending a visiting card to the man who had humiliated him and Yang Lin yesterday. He picked it up because he wanted to know the man's name so that he could take revenge on Yang Lin in the future.
"Rao Chenglin Ye...I will remember you."
After reading the words on the visiting card, Li Xin was about to tear it up when the door suddenly opened again.
A young man walked out of the door. When Li Xin saw the other person's face, he didn't bother to tear up the visiting card. He immediately showed a respectful look and shouted, "Master Xian."
This is the youngest grandson of the patriarch. He had met him once when Yang Lin got engaged.
"Who are you?"
Li Xian looked at Li Xin, but this person didn't come to his mind.
"My name is Li Xin, my...my grandfather is Li Weihai, and Yang Lin and I are good friends ."
"Li Weihai... Yang Lin..."
Li Xian still had no memory of it. The Li family had many branches, and Li Weihai was just one of them, and it was not the most powerful one, so Li Xian naturally would not pay attention to it.
"My friend Yang Lin is Miss Li Qian's fiancé."
"Oh, it's Sister Qian's fiancé. What can I do for you?"
Li Qian is the daughter of his third uncle. Li Xian remembered that he had attended Sister Qian's engagement party. However, his family was not happy with this marriage, otherwise they would not have allowed a junior like him to attend the engagement party.
"I……"
Li Xin wanted to say that he was fine, but if that was the case, if this person asked the security guard, he would know what he had done to Li Xin. He didn't want to leave a bad impression of bullying his brothers in front of this person.
Just when Li Xin was thinking about what excuse to make, Li Xian saw the visiting card in Li Xin's hand and frowned. But thinking that this person was from their Li family branch and was a friend of Qian's fiancé, he said, "Give me the visiting card. Let me see who you sent it to."
"I……"
Li Xin wanted to explain, but Li Xian stared at him, which put a lot of pressure on him, so he subconsciously handed over the visiting card.
"Master Xian, this isn't me..."
"Rao Chenglin Ye... Damn, it's him!"
However, as soon as Li Xin opened his mouth, he was startled by Li Xian's sudden outburst.
“You…you know Lin Ye?”
Li Xian was very excited and grabbed Li Xin's hand. For some reason, Li Xin saw that this person's expression and eyes were the same as those of the star-chasing people he had seen before.
fanaticism!
He saw fanaticism in Li Xian's eyes.
Oh no, could it be that this Lin Ye really has some important background?
At this time, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Know...know."
"Great, where is Lin Ye?... Never mind, come in with me, I'll take you to see Grandpa."
Li Xian directly took Li Xin's hand and walked towards the door. This was the first time that Li Xin stepped into the master's house. If it were any other time, he would definitely be extremely excited to be able to come in, but at this moment, he was not excited at all, but instead was filled with fear.
"Grandpa, Dad, come quickly, there is good news!"
As soon as Li Xian entered the door, he started shouting. As he shouted, many people from the Li family came out. One of the middle-aged men saw Li Xian holding Li Xin's hand, his face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Xian'er!"
"Dad, good news, Lin Ye is coming to visit our house."
"Lin Ye? Which Lin...the one from Raocheng?"
Levi's voice was also somewhat incredible. When he saw his son nodded heavily, his expression became excited: "I will tell your grandfather this news immediately. Where is that person now?"
"I don't know either, but he knows. It was him who sent the visiting card. He is from our family's branch and his name is Li Xin." Li Xian pointed at Li Xin.
"Li Xin, right? How do you know Mr. Lin? Where is Mr. Lin now?"
Li Wei's eyes were warm and he even smiled, but Li Xin's back was covered in cold sweat and he stammered, "He...he..."
"My Lord, it's my fault."
Just when Li Xin was hesitating to answer, the guard knelt down with a "bang". What was going on with the visiting card in Li Xin's hand? Neither Li Wei nor his son knew, but he knew it very well.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Li Xin hesitating and then seeing his own doorman suddenly kneeling down, Li Wei knew in his heart that there was something that Xian'er didn't know, and it was very likely that Xian'er had made a mistake.
"Early this morning, Miss Qian called me and said that if anyone from the branch sent a visiting card, they should be driven away. Just now, Li Weihai's grandson Li Xin knocked on the door and delivered this visiting card. I followed Miss Qian's instructions and drove Li Xin away."
"That's not right. He is Li Weihai's grandson. Isn't his name Li Xin?" Li Xian was a little confused.
"Master Xian, you don't know that Li Weihai has three sons. This one is born to the eldest son and is called Li Xin. The one before is born to the second son and is called Li Xin."
The guard didn't dare to look up and explained in a low voice. As a guard, he could not be compared with the main family member, but in the eyes of the branches of the Li family, he was like a third-rank official who was the prime minister's doorman. Many branches would curry favor with him, so he knew more about the situation of each branch.
"What a bastard!"
Levi's face turned pale. If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but what kind of status does that person have in the circle of extraordinary people? It is an honor for the Li family to be able to visit him. If he throws this person's visiting card on the ground, he will misunderstand and think that the Li family has some ideas.
"Xian'er, go contact that Li Xin, be quick, don't let Li Xin call Mr. Lin, that would cause a big misunderstanding. I'll go tell your grandfather."
After Levi gave his son instructions, he turned around and walked towards the main hall. As for Li Xin and the doorman, he didn't even look at them.
Li Xin looked at the guard kneeling on the ground, his face turned pale, and the next moment his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground. He knew he was finished.
On the bluestone road in the small town, Li Xin looked lonely. Looking at the caller ID of his father, he didn't dare to answer it for a moment. He lost the bet and didn't know how to face his father.
When the ringing was about to end, Li Xin gritted his teeth and finally pressed the answer button: "Dad, I..."
"Li Xin, is it Li Xin? Li Xin's cousin, wait a minute!"
Hearing a shout from behind, Li Xin turned around. When he saw clearly who was calling him, his pupils suddenly contracted with an expression of disbelief.
Li Xian!
He knows him.
When Yang Lin got engaged, the Yang family invited their family, and Grandpa was also willing to have a good relationship with the Yang family. He met the eldest grandson of the host family at the engagement party.
The eldest grandson of the master family calls himself his cousin?
"Xiao Xin, it's okay to lose. Everyone will experience some setbacks in life..."
On the other end of the phone, when his son took so long to answer the call, Father Li knew the answer in his heart and said words of comfort.
"Dad, I...I don't know if I lost or not. I...I'm a little confused."
Beep beep beep!
On the other end of the phone, Father Li looked at the hung up call, completely confused.
If you win the bet, you win. If you lose the bet, you lose. What happens if there is confusion?
