There are no high-rise buildings. The tallest building is only three floors. The houses are built along a river, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Many elderly uncles and aunts are sitting at the door with chairs, chatting to the river.
sky.
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 small town. To be honest, he was afraid of this small town. Ever since he was sensible, his father had told him that this small town was the root of their Li family and was home to the main lineage of the Li family.
, and these branches of them do everything to serve the people of the main line.
Li Xin parked his car outside the town's neighborhood sign. It wasn't that cars couldn't get in on the road in Daci Town, but that it wasn't allowed.
Half an hour later, Li Xin arrived at his destination.
In front of you is an ancient mansion.
There are four big characters hanging on the plaque in the middle of the house: Daci Li Shi!
Taking a deep breath, Li Xin knocked on the door.
After a few minutes, the door was opened.
"The boy is Li Xin, and the grandfather is Li Weihai."
Seeing the middle-aged man walking out of the door, Li Xin quickly and respectfully reported his identity.
"Li Weihai's grandson, what are you doing here?"
Hearing that the other party called his grandfather, who was nearly eighty years old, by his first name and even showed no respect in his words, although Li Xin felt a little angry, he did not dare to show it at all.
"Someone asked me to send a greeting card to the master's family."
As soon as Li Xin said these words, the middle-aged man's face immediately darkened. He waved his hand to the greeting card handed over by Li Xin and slapped it on the ground.
"Insolent. As a branch, you should know what you can and cannot do. Go back and let Li Weihai teach you the rules of the clan."
Bang!
The middle-aged man immediately closed the door, and Li Xin stood there with a blank look on his face. The confusion turned to panic. Of course he knew the clan rules, but he didn't expect that the master's family really didn't give them any face.
At least, you should finish what you said or read the greeting card.
"Hey, I didn't even get in or I was kicked out."
A familiar voice came from behind, and Li Xin turned around to see Li Xin's mocking expression.
"To tell you the truth, after my second uncle told grandpa what happened, grandpa told me that if the master got angry, he asked me to beg for mercy. What do you think I did?"
Li Xin instantly understood that Li Xin was behind this.
It is impossible for Li Xin to have any relationship with the host's family, but Yang Lin does. As long as Yang Lin talks to the lady of the host's family, the lady will explain it to the doorman, so the doorman is so impatient.
.
"Li Xin, just wait and be a useless person for the rest of your life."
Members of their family cannot break away from the family to start a business independently and control the company by themselves. When grandpa was still alive, he would give Li Xin living expenses. When grandpa got old, he would start torturing Li Xin.
Li Xin looked at Li Xin. He didn't know why Li Xin was so hostile to him. The management of the company was arranged by his grandfather, and he believed that he treated his uncle and his family well. The company's dividends were all in accordance with his grandfather's regulations.
Given.
People like Li Xin can't compete with others in the mall. When the company is not doing well, he doesn't believe that his boss will still support Li Xin.
The main family also needs money to maintain.
Thinking of this, Li Xin didn't say anything and left alone.
Li Xin saw Li Xin without saying a word, and thought Li Xin was afraid of him. With a proud look on his face, he walked towards the door. When he passed by the greeting card on the ground, he picked it up by accident.
He knew from his grandfather that Li Xin sent a greeting note to the man who slapped him and Yang Lin in the face yesterday. He picked it up because he wanted to know the man's name so that he could get back with Yang Lin in the future.
"Raocheng Linye... I will remember you."
After reading the words on the greeting card, Li Xin was about to tear it up when the door suddenly opened again.
A young man walked out of the door. When he saw his face, Li Xin didn't even bother to tear up the greeting card. He quickly showed a respectful look and shouted: "Young Master Xian."
This is the youngest grandson of the family head. He had met Yang Lin once before when he was engaged.
"Who are you?"
Li Xian looked at Li Xin and did not think of this person in his mind.
"My name is Li Xin, I...my grandfather is Li Weihai, and Yang Lin and I are good friends."
"Li Weihai... Yang Lin..."
Li Xian still has no memory. There are many branches of the Li family, and Li Weihai is just one of them, and it is not the most powerful. Naturally, Li Xian will not pay attention to it.
"My friend Yang Lin is Miss Li Qian's fiancé."
"Oh, he'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, but his family was not satisfied with the marriage, otherwise he would not have allowed himself, a junior, to attend the engagement party.
It's a wedding reception.
"I……"
Li Xin wanted to say that he had nothing to do, but if that was the case, if the guard asked him, he would know what he did to Li Xin. He didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of him of bullying his brother.
Just when Li Xin was thinking about what excuses to make, Li Xian saw the greeting card in Li Xin's hand and frowned, but thought that this person was a branch of their Li family and was friends with Sister Qian's fiancé.
He opened his mouth and said: "Give me the greeting card, and I will see who you gave the greeting card 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 invitation.
"Master Xian, actually this is not me..."
"Raocheng Linye...fuck, 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's expression and eyes when he saw this man were the same as those he had seen among those who were chasing stars.
fanaticism!
He saw the enthusiasm in Li Xian's eyes.
Damn it, does this Lin Ye really have a big background?
At this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "I know... I know you."
"Great, where is Lin Yeren?...Forget it, come in with me and I will take you to see grandpa."
Li Xian directly took Li Xin's hand and walked towards the door. This was also the first time Li Xin stepped into the master's house. At other times, he would have been extremely excited to come in, but at this moment, not only was he not excited,
Instead, it was with fear.
"Grandpa, Dad, come quickly, there is good news!"
Li Xian started shouting as soon as he entered the door. As soon as he shouted, many people from the Li family's 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 a little incredible. When he saw his son nodding heavily, his expression became excited: "I will tell your grandpa the news immediately. Where is that person now?"
"I don't know either, but he knows that it was him who sent the invitation. He is from a branch of our family, 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 very warm, and he even had a smile. However, Li Xin's entire back was covered in cold sweat, and he hesitated a little: "He...he..."
"Master, it's the villain's fault."
Just when Li Xin hesitated to answer, the guard knelt down with a bang. Li Wei and his son didn't know what was going on with the greeting card in Li Xin's hand, but he knew better.
But that's it.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Li Xin hesitating, and seeing his doorman suddenly kneel down, Li Wei knew in his heart that there was something Xian'er didn't know about, and it was very possible that Xian'er had made a mistake.
"Early this morning, Miss Qian called me and said that people with branches would be kicked away if they sent greeting cards. Li Weihai's grandson Li Xin just knocked on the door and sent this greeting card. According to Miss Qian's instructions, I sent Li Xin
Driven away."
"No, 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 previous one was born to the second son and is called Li Xin."
The guard did not dare to raise his head and explained in a low voice that as a guard he was incomparable to the main family, but in the eyes of the branches of the Li family, he was just like the third-rank official of the prime minister's concierge. People from many branches would fawn over him, so he knew the situation of each branch.
There are also more.
"Bastard thing!"
Li Wei's face turned livid. It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but what is his status in the alien world? It is an honor for the Li family to come to visit the Li family. He threw this greeting card on the ground. If that
There was a misunderstanding, and I thought the Li family had some ideas.
"Xian'er, if you contact Li Xin, you must be quick. Don't let Li Xin call Mr. Lin. Otherwise, there will be a big misunderstanding. I'll tell your grandpa."
After Li Wei ordered his son, he turned around and walked towards the main hall. As for Li Xin and the doorman, he didn't even look at them again.
Li Xin looked at the guard kneeling on the ground, his face turned pale, and the next moment his feet gave way 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 his father's caller ID, he didn't dare to answer it for a moment. He lost the bet and didn't know how to face his father.
Until 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? Cousin Li Xin, wait!"
A shout came from behind, and Li Xin turned around. When he saw clearly the person calling him, his pupils shrank sharply, with an expression of disbelief.
Li Xian!
He knew it.
When Yang Lin got engaged, the Yang family invited his family, and his grandfather was willing to have a good relationship with the Yang family. He met the main grandson at the engagement party.
The main grandson calls his cousin?
"Xiaoxin, it's okay if you lose. People always have to experience some setbacks in this life..."
On the other end of the phone, when his son took so long to answer the phone, Father Li had the answer in his heart and spoke words of comfort.
"Dad, I...I don't know if I won or not. I...I'm a little confused."
Toot toot!
On the other end of the phone, Father Li looked at the hung up phone, confused.
If you win the bet, you have won the bet; if you have lost the bet, you have lost the bet. What will happen if there is confusion?
