Chapter 291: Lingering Thoughts
The accident during the day served as a wake-up call for Li Yuan.
Those guys in the West have no bottom line.
This time, an article was posted for no apparent reason. It is meaningless to those who like it, but it is a wake-up call to those who are trying to set the tone, and it has influenced countless people.
Even if he apologizes, the impact will always be there.
It's like a piece of white clothing stained with ink. No matter what means you use, even if you wash it until no dirty water can be washed out, and even if you scan it with the naked eye, it can't be seen, but it is dirty and will always be dirty.
To put it in a conspiracy theory, it is the Western guys who put money in with the purpose of creating contradictions and conflicts.
Li Yuan could only think in this direction. He couldn't say that those women were brainwashed and voluntarily stuffed the contraband in, right?
Isn't that cheap?
…
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the village became a little more lively.
Although there are only seven households left, Third Master's side is much more lively than before.
In the past, you could have a party anywhere during the Chinese New Year, but now there are only a few families, so you can only go to the Third Master’s place to have a party.
Li Yuan also went over and played cards for a while.
Although he was very good at calculating in the stock market, his mind went blank after he got the cards and he didn't want to use his brain at all.
In the end, he played until after 12 o'clock, lost several thousand dollars, and was kicked out by Li Wanhe.
Because Li Yuan didn't bring any money, he kept taking it from his table.
He finally won some money, but it was all lost by Li Yuan.
He had been waiting for this day all year long and was determined not to be cheated by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan smiled and had no choice but to leave the card table.
No one paid attention to him, everyone was having fun.
I don't know when he left the villa.
Before leaving, he saw the wrinkled face of the Third Master sitting on a recliner with a relieved smile on his face.
There were indeed people who came to his place to play before, but the people were no longer interested and there was no feeling at all.
This year is particularly different.
Zhou Ranran had just seen Jiang Yiling off not long ago.
It’s New Year’s Day and no one is at home; everyone is out having fun.
Even Wang Qi had gone to rest at this time, after all, tomorrow would definitely be very busy.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people will come to Zhou Ranran's house.
Hearing the sound of the combination lock being opened in the yard, Zhou Ranran looked outside.
The lights in the yard were on, and it was easy to see the figure wrapped in a down jacket.
After Li Yuan came in, he took off his down jacket after feeling the temperature in the room.
"Smells like cigarettes..."
Zhou Ranran helped him hang up his down jacket.
Li Yuan warmed up his hands and said, "I don't smoke. There are a bunch of heavy smokers over there. I can't do anything about it. I seriously suspect that the reason I didn't win money today is because I was too smoked..."
Zhou Ranran grabbed Li Yuan's hand and put it on her face.
It’s icy cool and very comfortable.
Maybe it's a little hot at home.
"I didn't cause you any trouble last time, did I?"
"No, Yiling already knew about it."
"Um?"
"Didn't you let her see the bank card balance?"
"when?"
“The year before last…”
Zhou Ranran sighed and said, "I didn't show it to her..."
"Yeah, she's very attentive."
Maybe Jiang Yiling could just glance at a payment text message accidentally and she would be able to find out the content.
It is also common for the two of them to chat together and go shopping together.
Zhou Ranran is a very careless person, and Jiang Yiling only looks simple, but he is actually very thoughtful. I wouldn't dare to say that he is a heavy-handed villain, but he is at least half one.
"You've lost some weight..."
"It's OK as long as you don't lose weight elsewhere."
"Go... I finally wanted to talk to you for a few minutes, but you led me astray again."
"Oh? Then I'll leave?"
Zhou Ranran: “…”
"Well, actually I also have some thoughts..."
"a little?"
"Uh...I really want to..."
…
What a rare opportunity, what are we going to talk about?
Once we enter the sage time, we’ll have plenty of time to chat.
Li Yuan could only stay for two or three hours and had to go back to catch up on his sleep.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, his family was also very busy.
Half an hour later...
"Sister Ran, have you followed others to fight recently?"
"I'm not sick, why should I fight?"
"That looks good, you've turned over a new leaf..."
"So I didn't fight because of you little brats, did I? I didn't expect that you were all so cowardly when you were little, but you all became tough when you grew up."
"Hard? Besides me, is there anyone else who is tough on Sister Ran?"
Zhou Ranran wanted to say something else, but quickly came to her senses, "Are you sick?"
But before Li Yuan said this, she immediately felt uncomfortable all over again.
"Get up... and work... quickly..."
"You've learned bad things, haven't you? Let me see how bad you can get!"
Li Yuan has indeed become a bad person.
The main thing is the existence of Cao Yuanyuan, a natural troublemaker .
How outrageous is Cao Yuanyuan? She even asked Li Yuan if she wanted to talk to a few more boys, and when they were together, she called her lickers...
In the end, he was stopped by Li Yuan, thinking that it was too much.
To put it bluntly, Cao Yuanyuan just wanted to please him as much as possible and didn't care about what other people felt.
Li Yuan is only willing to accept gifts from stakeholders. He does not want to satisfy himself by humiliating others.
That time, he once again proposed to Cao Yuanyuan that if she wanted to have a relationship, he would still agree at any time. This completely curbed the crazy thoughts in Cao Yuanyuan's mind.
Li Yuan didn’t know what Cao Yuanyuan was thinking about now, but he certainly wouldn’t think about it that way anymore.
It was 3:30 in the morning when Li Yuan left Zhou Ranran's house wrapped in a down jacket.
Through the lights on the roadside, he saw some snowflakes falling. Although they were still small, the weather was dry and cold these days. Once the snow fell, it would probably take a long time to melt...
Sleet may not be very heavy, but dry and cold snow is usually not very small.
When I got home, I saw Zhou Juan and Zhou Ranran's mother making dumplings in the living room.
After seeing him coming back, Zhou Juan asked, "Is the show over there still going on?"
Li Yuan didn’t know shit. He had been out for more than three hours.
"Not yet. My dad thought I had bad luck and kicked me out."
"Then go take a shower and go to bed. I'll call you around nine tomorrow."
"good."
Li Yuan was too lazy to go to the corner to take the elevator, so he took the stairs directly to the second floor.
After entering the bedroom, he took a shower first and then tiptoed to the bed.
As soon as he lay down, Jiang Yiling hugged his neck.
"Happy New Year, hubby!"
"Thank you, wife."
Li Yuan pulled the quilt and rubbed Jiang Yiling's hair.
Maybe all this was prepared long ago.
She kicked herself out halfway through, and Zhou Ranran's mother was called over by her own mother, and there was also Jiang Yiling who hadn't slept yet...
That's enough.
Some feelings have already sprouted and have now grown a lot.
Although there are many side buds that will take away some nutrients, Li Yuan is very confident at this moment that it will grow into a towering tree.
He always thought he could control Jiang Yiling... but now he feels like he is being controlled.
…
New Year's Day.
The villagers tacitly agreed not to set off firecrackers so early, and only started setting them off at around nine o'clock.
Almost every household drove to the village entrance to pick up some relatives, and Li Wanhe was no exception.
He didn't come back until after five o'clock, and had been in a daze for three hours.
But he seemed to be in a good mood. Even though it was still snowing, he arrived at the security booth at the entrance of the village at around eight o'clock.
Cao Ping was still the representative of Qinghe County. He first visited Li Yuan's grandparents and Jiang Yuanqiao. It was almost ten o'clock before he arrived at Li Yuan's place.
At this time, many people had come to Li Yuan's house.
Cao Ping knew Yu Yue because this guy has always been the spokesperson for Qingtian Group.
But he didn't know Yao Yingsong, he just felt that this guy was a little too young.
Li Yuan just came over with the child in his arms and greeted them, and then they chatted on their own.
During the conversation, Cao Ping realized that he had met his match.
Why does Yao Yingsong act so arrogantly?
He is completely different from a pure businessman like Yu Yue. He can feel it after just a few words.
But Yao Yingsong said he was the vice president of Qingtian Capital...
Isn’t Sky Capital a private company?
At around half past ten, a few people from Hou Wenbin's side came and first went to meet Jiang Yuanqiao, and finally came to Li Yuan with Jiang Yuanqiao.
We had lunch here. Zhou Juan was already busy in the kitchen, and Jiang Yiling was helping her.
Li Yuan's grandparents will be here soon, so the table will definitely be full at noon.
This is a pure family dinner. No matter how good Zhou Juan’s cooking skills are, being able to be served at the table represents status and position.
Cao Ping was originally going to go back, but after taking a look around, he shamelessly stayed.
Li Yuan has been very busy these past few hours, feeding the child. When he sees that the child is uncomfortable, he first considers whether the child has urinated or defecated...
Once this situation occurred, he was too embarrassed to call Jiang Yiling, after all, Jiang Yiling had been washing vegetables downstairs, so he had to bite the bullet and do it himself.
My favorite thing about taking care of children is that they fall asleep. Children who can fall asleep after just a few words of coaxing are simply the ideal children in the world.
Obviously, Jiang Shu is not that kind of guy.
In the end, this guy's name was changed, but only one character was changed.
According to Jiang Yuanqiao, it was not a good idea to have the same name as a wise man, but he liked the tree, so he kept it.
It doesn't matter whether it is a straight tree or a crooked tree in the future, as long as it is a big tree, it will be useful in the future.
At worst, it can be used as firewood. The bottom line is the "Qiao" in his name.
From a name, Jiang Yuanqiao has already decided the future of his great-grandson. The bottom line is him, but how high the upper limit is... is hard to say.
During the meal, Zhou Juan finally had time to take the child. Li Yuan walked downstairs, greeted everyone, and sat down.
…
Zhou Ranran was a little confused as to why her family received a bunch of gifts for no apparent reason.
She didn't even know many of them.
It was okay for Cao Ping to come and give gifts, after all, they were from the same county. She also made a contribution to purifying the county environment by integrating a group of hooligans into a self-media company.
But what does it mean that Hou Wenbin and others also sent gifts?
I am not familiar with them.
There are also Yu Yue and Yao Yingsong, these two have never even met each other before.
Fortunately, she doesn't have to worry about returning the gift. After all, this must be related to Li Yuan, and returning the gift is something Li Yuan should consider.
She looked at Liu Hao and a few others teasing the child, feeling helpless.
What have these guys been doing so far?
Not to mention much, when Li Yuan came back in August of the year before last, if they had had any opinions of their own, the scene would be completely different now.
How could Li Yuan's family dinner be without seats for them?
During the Chinese New Year last year, this group of people had already reacted, but none of them were particularly proactive.
This year…I ran to her house on New Year’s Day, but it was too late to take the initiative.
There was nothing she could do.
Let’s just keep doing this for now and see if there’s a chance in the future.
Since Li Yuan revealed his identity as the richest man, it has become almost impossible to get close to him unless there is a vested interest.
What benefits can this group of people bring to Li Yuan?
Even Liu Hao was fed by Li Yuan. Now, in addition to owning a house in Jiangzhou, his family is also in debt of tens of millions...
For Liu Hao, it was a perfect start without him doing anything, but he ended up ruining the game by himself.
If you want to reach your previous position again, it may take even eight or ten years.
Ten or eight years later, where will others be?
Liu Hao is born with advantages and is different from others.
Look at Hou Wenbin and the others. They originally had some unpleasantness with Li Yuan, but now they are at the table.
At this time, Li Wanhe came over and said, "Qizi, your brother Yuan is calling you to come over for dinner."
Wang Qi was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Ranran.
Zhou Ranran said, "Just go if I tell you to go, hurry up, there are people here and we don't need you."
"Oh, okay."
Wang Qi immediately ran out happily.
She is the youngest, but she is also 19 years old this year.
Having been with Zhou Ranran for a long time, how could he not know what Li Yuan meant by calling her to eat?
On the one hand, it was a pity that Zhou Ranran could not go, and on the other hand, she was also used as a banner.
At least among her childhood friends, she was the only one who could participate.
Liu Hao and the others can only watch for now.
After Wang Qi left, Zhou Ranran saw the envious looks on the faces of her childhood friends and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? I didn't give you a chance, did I? Now your family is well off, so live a down-to-earth life. There is still a long way to go in life, so just work hard in the future."
Each of these people received one million yuan, and with their previous savings, they could easily buy a house in Jiangzhou with full payment, and even three houses in the county town with full payment.
The reason why no one in the entire village dares to cause trouble now is that the money has been paid.
A price of one million is considered to be a good deal for them no matter how you look at it.
Anyone with a bit of shame would not cause trouble. At most, they would ask privately if they could get their money back and keep the house.
Obviously, that's impossible.
The house was nominally in the village, but in reality it was controlled by Zhou Ranran. Zhou Ranran even suspected that the group of people gave her gifts in order to get a house here.
In fact, it is very simple to get a house here. Just move your household registration here.
The prerequisite is that Li Yuan agrees, and the actual controller of those houses also needs to agree.
After Zhou Ranran had this thought in her mind, she could no longer shake it off...
