Li Yifeng stood in front of the villa, quietly waiting for the arrival of Luo Ye and Lin Wanyu.
He has thick black hair with pure color, which is in sharp contrast with the white snow on his forehead. His eyes are dark and distant, as if he is looking at the roaring Reventon from a distance, and he seems to be looking further away.
Qingshan, in his unfocused eyes, faintly revealed a subtle confidence.
In the valley in the distance, his father's tombstone is watching him silently. This is the manor left by his father. In more than ten years, he has fulfilled most of his father's last wishes: live, live, live, and survive.
have……
More than ten years ago, his father on the hospital bed used his last strength to grab his hand and murmured the last words in his ear.
On that day, this troubled young man vowed to spend his whole life fulfilling his promise to his father. He began to learn to be strong, to be tolerant, and even learned the most difficult skill in life - giving up.
When a person learns to give up, he becomes invincible. In order to fulfill his father's last wish, he can give up everything.
Behind him, a strange-looking villa stood quietly in the snow, as if it gave Li Yifeng strong support. Snowflakes fell at his feet, like the quiet chant of flowers in a vase, and the content of the chant was about a man waiting to die.
man...
Luo Ye slowed down the speed of the car and let Revington keep sliding. He noticed that there was a mysterious feeling between Li Yifeng and the villa behind him. There seemed to be a gloomy silence hidden in the empty scene, and the two were mixed with each other.
, refer to each other, are both interdependent and opposed to each other.
Yes, Li Yifeng is the owner of Nanshan Manor, but he doesn't look like the owner here - this was Luo Ye's first thought when he saw this scene. As soon as such an idea appeared, countless questions followed.
Welled out.
This villa has been around for some time, and the frivolous decoration on the exterior seems to be just the traces of holding luxurious parties for many years. However, the four-story building structure is quite strange, which is very different from the traditional villa.
Luo Ye saw that there seemed to be another building hidden between the villa and the mountain, quietly hiding in the shadows, as if it had never appeared before.
He began to think about how to explore the "Shadow Villa" while gently applying the brakes.
The thermal imaging function of contact lenses seems to be useful, but when the scanning mode is turned on, the glasses will produce red light. It is not a proud thing to have red light in front of other people. You have to find a place where no one is around -
—
Li Yifeng frowned slightly. Inviting Luo Ye and Lin Wanyu to Nanshan Villa was part of the long-term plan, but the scheduled meeting time was not now. Their visit slightly disrupted Li Yifeng's rhythm. However, waiting for Lei Wen
When he suddenly slowed down, all the negative emotions on his face disappeared, replaced by a general smile.
Smile is a weapon. Hu Jiyao once told him that if he feels uneasy, just smile.
So, he took a breath and the smile on his lips opened wider.
Luo Ye stepped on the brakes in front of Li Yifeng and turned off the roaring engine.
When he lifted the car door, Luo Ye sniffed gently. The fresh scent of log pine filled the entire manor, mixed with a faint smell of acetic acid - this acetic acid smell was definitely not the vinegar used for cooking.
"Brother Luo, I really envy you." Li Yifeng greeted him enthusiastically, staring at the cockpit that looked like a fighter jet, and winked at Luo Ye teasingly, "I think Monica must be feeling distressed.
broken."
Lin Wanyu walked out of the car door and asked, "Who is Monica?" She originally planned how to greet cousin Yifeng, but she didn't expect that what came out of her mouth was to ask about the origin of a strange woman. The ground under her feet was soft and soft, and she stepped on it.
Slowly sinking, she regretted her opening remarks...
Li Yifeng was startled for a moment, then let out a long breath of Yan Shuang, "Cousin Wanyu? You are so beautiful!" His tone sounded more intimate, but still mixed with some unfamiliar politeness.
Lin Wanyu had heard the same words in Fang Tianming's ward, but when Fang Muran said it, it only made her feel disgusted and sick, but when Li Yifeng said it, she felt extremely warm in her heart. "Cousin Yifeng, it's been a long time."
not see."
"Yes, yes," Li Yifeng was a little uncontrollably excited when he saw that the little cousin who had been hiding behind him when he was a child was now a tall and graceful girl. "Cousin Wanyu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Ever since you went to study in the United States, it has been a long time."
More than ten years have passed—hey, let’s stop standing in the snow and talk, come in!”
Lin Wanyu felt a little disappointed in her heart. She might be expecting a hug like a family member, or teasing like an older brother, but although Li Yifeng's attitude was warm, it lacked the closeness of childhood. This is probably the price of growing up...
It seems that they both need a process to buffer each other.
Luo Ye walked in the front and asked directly: "Xiao Feng, where is Xiao Yao?"
"Xiaoyao?" Li Yifeng didn't react for a moment.
"Don't you usually call her like this? Or Yaoyao?" Luo Ye walked into the main hall with a smirk.
Li Yifeng followed behind quite steadily, trying his best not to follow Luo Ye's walking rhythm. When he spoke again, his voice became particularly alert, "Oh, you said Hu Jiyao, she should be dressing up.
.”
Should? This word is really well used. Luo Ye did not continue talking.
Lin Wanyu followed them and walked into the living room of the villa. The decoration of the living room was quite simple, without any major highlights: a set of sofas, a few photos, and then a blazing fireplace, which was very warm.
"Sit over here."
The three of them sat down against the fireplace.
Li Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the relief on his polite face was clearly visible. "Cousin Wanyu, since you went abroad, our brother and sister have never talked face to face. Are you...everything okay?"
The change in the Lin family was a very unfortunate thing, and he believed that Lin Wanyu must have been having a hard time during this period.
Lin Wanyu smiled quietly, "It was very difficult at first, but later, it was okay..." She glanced at Luo Ye subconsciously. "By the way, cousin Yifeng, we came a little abruptly and we won't give you anything.
What inconvenience does it cause?”
"How could it be?" Li Yifeng smiled reassuringly: "You are my cousin, and Brother Luo is my good friend. You are always welcome here." He paused deliberately, hoping to create a happy atmosphere.
"It's just that the kitchen has just started preparing lunch. If you want to eat, you will have to wait for a while."
Lin Wanyu smiled easily.
Luo Ye yawned boredly, crossed his legs, and looked at Li Yifeng with squinted eyes. "Why doesn't Xiaoyao come out to meet the guests?"
Lin Wanyu wanted to go up and cover Luo Ye's mouth, but considering that doing so might worsen the situation, she finally just glared at Luo Ye hatefully.
Li Yifeng smiled and replied: "Brother Luo, you really like to joke." He suddenly felt that the weapon "smile" was nonsense, at least it would not work in front of Luo Ye - unless he, Li Yifeng, could transform into A
You are such a beautiful woman with big breasts, that might be of some use.
Lin Wanyu gave Li Yifeng a comforting look and smoothed things over for her cousin by saying, "Women are always slow to put on makeup."
"Yes, yes." Li Yifeng responded empathetically.
Luo Ye shrugged noncommittally. To him, Hu Jiyao was a mysterious woman who connected Li Yifeng and all the secrets of Nanshan Manor. Now, it has taken nearly half an hour from entering the manor to sitting by the fireplace.
Although half an hour of "makeup" time is not too long, that woman is Hu Jiyao, the Hu Jiyao who can remain dignified and immobile in the face of Queen Monica's intimidation - she is so beautiful that she doesn't even need to
make up.….
There was an awkward silence. The fire crackled, which seemed to ease the dull atmosphere a little. Li Yifeng raised and spread his palms, as if he wanted to use the fire to warm his hands.
He spoke again: "Cousin Wanyu, are you cold? Do you want me to send someone to help you find thicker clothes?"
Lin Wanyu adjusted her skirt subconsciously, "No, no need, it's very warm here. Thank you, cousin Yifeng."
Li Yifeng smiled kindly, and the two began to chat about their childhood memories.
Luo Ye was always sitting on the sofa, leaning back and squinting his eyes, pretending to be listening to their conversation attentively. In fact, he was carefully observing the layout and furnishings of the villa. Li Yifeng and Hu Jiyao would not do it for no reason.
If you invite them to the party, they must have some purpose.
Lin Wanyu and Li Yifeng were chatting happily when a fat, middle-aged maid quickly walked into the living room carrying a drink tray. Her movements were very rude, as if she had dropped the plate directly on the coffee table.
Li Yifeng didn't take it seriously and pointed to the drink on the plate and said: "This is Dogfish Head customized beer. I used raw pine wood from Nanshan as auxiliary materials and specially shipped it to the United States by air. I asked Dogfish Head Brewery to customize the beer. You guys
You must try it. Cousin Wan Yu lives in the United States, so she should know something about dogfish heads?"
Lin Wanyu nodded stiffly, her consciousness still seemed to be stuck on the maid's bad attitude just now.
Dogfish Head Winery is a factory that specializes in customizing alcoholic beverages for wealthy people and big companies to hold celebrations or parties. The winery will add special auxiliary materials to the wine according to the guests' requirements, and use scientific proportions and repeated experiments
, and finally achieve a beautiful and unique flavor. Of course, the cost is also extremely expensive.
A wide range of auxiliary materials can be added to Dogfish Head beer, including caffeine, cannabis leaves, and even the blood of some kind of beast - but the wood is flown from China to the United States, ground into powder and added to the ale, and then thousands of miles away
Transporting it all the way back will cost a lot of money just for the transportation fee——
Before the wine bottle was opened, Lin Wanyu was a little confused. Li Yifeng's behavior was completely like that of a playboy who spent money like water, but why did Nanshan Manor and the Li family's company develop so much under his command?
She took a breath of air-conditioning and glanced at Luo Ye with enlightenment. At the same time, a name suddenly flashed in her mind:
