Wang Jiajia asked softly. Li Yang didn't look good, which made her a little worried.
Su Youpeng was also looking at Li Yang. Liu Gang frowned slightly. He didn't remember who Li Xiaosong was in front of him, but he felt a little familiar. He went to Pingzhou with Li Yang and had seen the photos.
But not as careful as Li Yang.
Looking back at the busy Li Xiaosong, Li Yang said softly: "I once met an old man..."
Slowly, Li Yang introduced the process of getting to know Li Jianyi and everything about this old man. After listening to Li Yang's narration, Su Youpeng and Wang Jiajia frowned tightly, and they also felt that something was wrong.
Putting aside the value of those antiques, the old man's daughter is Li Xiaosong's aunt after all. She is still a student. At this age, she should not be allowed to go out to work, but should study hard at home.
"Boss Mu, can you ask Xiaosong to come over? We have something to ask him!"
Su Youpeng suddenly said that he was a frequent visitor here and he was very generous. He also helped the boss solve a very troublesome matter once. The boss did not dare not listen to his words and immediately called Li Xiaosong out.
Standing in front of Li Yang and the others again, Li Xiaosong looked a little shy again.
"Don't be nervous, sit down, this brother used to be ***'s friend!"
Su Youpeng stood up and patted Li Xiaosong on the shoulder. Li Xiaosong looked back at Li Yang, not too surprised. Li Yang had asked about his grandfather just now.
"Yes!" Li Xiaosong nodded and sat down slowly.
Li Yang looked at Li Xiaosong and said softly: "Xiaosong, my name is Li Yang, and I have been to your house before..."
"Are you Li Yang? Jade Saint Li Yang?"
Li Xiaosong blurted out and looked at Li Yang in surprise, with tears welling up in his eyes again.
Li Yang nodded heavily: "Yes, I am Li Yang. Did your grandfather talk about me to you?"
Li Xiaosong did not speak, but tears suddenly flowed out. Then he lay on the table and cried bitterly. Li Yang, Su Youpeng and Wang Jiajia were all in a daze. No one expected that he would have such a big reaction.
After crying for a while, Li Xiaosong raised his head and told Li Yang about his affairs with tears in his eyes.
Old man Li Jianyi did tell Li Xiaosong about Li Yang, and said more than once that Li Jianyi lived near Pingzhou. Even though he didn't go out much, he had heard about the Pingzhou Grand Fair.
Jade Saint Li Yang is the most dazzling new star of Pingzhou Grand Publican, and his photo was even published in the newspaper.
Li Yang was wearing glasses in the photo, but Li Jianyi recognized him at a glance. This was the young man who kindly helped him and visited his home.
Li Jianyi had a very good impression of Li Yang. When we chatted before, he also knew that Li Yang ran an auction company. Now that he saw that Li Yang was so powerful, he often mentioned Li Yang in front of his grandson when he was at home.
The good times did not last long, and his health became worse and worse. Three months later, he went for a check-up, and the result was a bolt from the blue.
He is terminally ill and doesn't have much time left.
In his last days, what the old man was most worried about was not his treasures, but his grandson Li Xiaosong. Xiaosong was young and his parents were gone. If he let go, his grandson would have nothing to rely on.
At that time, he made a decision.
If he really leaves, let Li Xiaosong find Li Yang and ask him to help auction off all the things in his house. The money will be saved for Li Xiaosong so that he can study in high school and college. If it is similar, he can also let him go to school.
Li Xiaosong got married and started a family.
The old man's plan was very good. He knew that once he passed away, those treasures would lose their value, so it was better to give his grandson a bright future.
Moreover, he also believed in Li Yang, firstly because of his own intuition, and secondly because Li Yang made a lot of money gambling on stones, and he had a big company, so he would not rely on such a small thing like his.
But he missed one person, his unfilial daughter. His daughter was married to a Shanghai man. She usually had ideas about his treasures, but he later scolded her away. After that, she didn't have any contact with her for many years.
He had just passed away and before Li Xiaosong had time to contact Li Yang, the unfilial daughter rushed to the house and took away all the things because Li Xiaosong was too young and she was the only legal heir.
Although this woman was unfilial, she had a real blood relationship with the old man. It was also true that Li Xiaosong was underage, and she also expressed her willingness to take Li Xiaosong away and raise him to adulthood.
It is difficult for an upright official to settle household affairs. Even though some local neighbors knew that the relationship between father and daughter was not good, they were helpless. Even the people in the subdistrict office had no choice but to transfer the custody relationship of Li Xiaosong to the name of the old man's daughter.
Now she is Li Xiaosong's only relative.
Everything was fine in Guangdong, but as soon as she returned to Shanghai, Li Xiaosong's aunt revealed her true colors.
Not only did she not go through the transfer procedures for Li Xiaosong, she also refused to let him live at home. She made him sleep in the utility room and ate only leftovers every day. After a period of time, she thought he was just a freeloader at home and put him there.
He was sent to this hotel to work.
After doing this for more than two months, Xiaosong's small hard-earned salary was taken away by his aunt, leaving him with no way to go home.
In fact, it was useless for him to go home because his aunt had already sold the house at home.
Li Xiaosong has a somewhat cowardly personality and has not dared to tell anyone about his affairs. The owner of the hotel still doesn't know what happened to him and thinks he is really a child from the countryside.
Nowadays, many people in the countryside come out to work at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
"Shameless, so shameless, how can there be such shameless people in this world!"
After listening to Li Xiaosong's intermittent narration, Wang Jiajia slammed the table angrily, and her sympathy began to overflow again, but Li Xiaosong did deserve sympathy.
Su Youpeng shook his head and said: "There are not many brothers who turn against each other for the sake of family property. This kind of thing is very common!"
He was not surprised by this matter. Let alone ordinary families, it was not uncommon for wealthy families to fight for family property. Unlike Wang Jiajia, who was born in a political family, such families would not fight for family property.
Wang Jiajia looked back at Li Yang and said anxiously: "Li Yang, what are you going to do about this?"
At this time, Li Yang was still frowning.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with family affairs. If Li Yang defended Li Xiaosong, it would be hard to say anything. At most, he would accuse Li Xiaosong's aunt of raping him.
Hearing Wang Jiajia's question, Li Yang shook his head slightly: "Let's not talk about anything else. The most important thing is to let Xiaosong go back to school. Xiaosong, do you want to go back to school?"
Li Yang's last sentence was to ask Li Xiaosong. He wanted to know the other person's feelings. If Li Xiaosong really didn't want to go to school, it would be useless for him to try hard.
Li Xiaosong's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded vigorously.
"Just want to go to school. I will find a way to help you get those babies back. You don't have to stay here. You will come with us soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Shanghai either. I'll help you find a place.
It’s a good school, do you think it will work?”
Li Yang said again. Li Xiaosong hesitated and lowered his head: "Grandpa's treasures have been moved away by my aunt. I have no money now?"
Wang Jiajia smiled softly and said immediately: "Xiao Song, you don't have to worry about money. As long as you are willing to go to school, your brother Li Yang can help you. Then you just need to study hard!"
"I do!"
This time Li Xiaosong did not hesitate and said loudly, with longing in his eyes.
Originally, Li Xiaosong was not bad at studying, but it was a pity that he was a nerd. Otherwise, he would not have been so suppressed by his aunt at the age of fifteen. If he was a rebellious boy, he would have had sex with his aunt long ago.
Moreover, being able to go back to school is also his biggest wish.
"Boss Mu, let me discuss something with you!"
Su Youpeng stood up, walked to the hotel owner, and spoke slowly. He understood that Li Yang would definitely take the child away, and he could only do the communication with the hotel.
The Mu family's dumplings tasted really good, but it was a pity that Li Yang and the others had no intention of tasting the delicious food at this moment. Li Yang simply ate two, and the others left with Li Xiaosong.
In Li Yang's heart, there was still anger and sadness.
He was angry because of what happened to Li Xiaosong and sad for old man Li Jianyi. Old man Li Jianyi was obsessed with collecting all his life and was worthy of respect. Before he died, he also thought about his grandson's future. The only thing he didn't think of was the unfilial daughter.
It was this unfilial daughter that almost cost his grandson his future.
The owner of Mu's Restaurant was very hesitant, but finally agreed to Su Youpeng.
If they were to take the person away, he would definitely not be able to interact with Li Xiaosong's aunt, but he also understood that Su Youpeng was not simple, had great energy, and was someone he could not afford to offend.
They ran into trouble last time. If it weren't for Su Youpeng's help, the restaurant might not be able to open now.
After much hesitation and Su Youpeng's assurance, he agreed to Li Xiaosong's departure.
"Li Yang, how do you arrange Xiaosong?"
On the way back to the car, Wang Jiajia leaned against Li Yang and asked in a low voice. She was always a kind girl, but after knowing what happened to Xiao Song, she was more concerned about his affairs now.
Li Yang looked at Li Xiaosong who was sitting nervously in the front row, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I am going to accept him as my brother. I will see where he wants to go later. No matter where he goes, I will give him a stable learning environment."
, grow slowly!”
This was indeed Li Yang's true thoughts. He made this decision after hearing Li Xiaosong say that Li Jianyi was going to entrust him to him before his death.
He would not let the old man down.
Accept him as your godbrother, Li Yang's godbrother. No matter where he goes, you won't have to worry about his future life.
If Li Xiaosong is willing, he can be arranged to go to school in Beijing or go to Licheng. Li Yang believes that his parents will treat him as their own son, and his eldest brother will take care of him as his own brother.
Li Yang felt relieved that there were family members taking care of him in Licheng. The only drawback was that the educational environment there was not as good as that of Beijing. Of course, in the end, Li Xiaosong had to make his own choice.
