9. Chapter 9 A Red Heart, Two Hard Hands, Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces for the People
"I didn't let them come..." Li Mengnan pulled the ashtray on the table and knocked on it, and said calmly: "Although they are my biological parents, they did not raise me after all. To me, they are strangers.
It makes no difference...and if I just leave like this, who will take care of my grandpa until the end of his life?"
Generating kindness is not as important as cultivating kindness. From the perspective of filial piety, Li Mengnan's behavior is indeed understandable and even worthy of praise.
However, Wu Ansu still found it a bit difficult to understand and asked: "Did your parents really not visit you just because of your refusal?"
Li Mengnan curled his lips and said: "I only found out later...the two of them divorced very early because of my loss back then, and then they each formed a family with their own children..."
It is natural for two brand-new families to find it difficult to accept a child who is like a stranger - even if this child has the same blood as one of them.
The softness belonging to women in Wu Ansu's heart was touched, and she gently put her hand on Li Mengnan's shoulder and patted it comfortingly.
Li Mengnan was silent for a moment, stood up and removed Wu Ansu's hand without leaving a trace, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Actually, they treat me quite well...at least they send me some living expenses every month. Maybe it doesn't seem like much here, but where I am
village, that’s a lot of money.”
"Do you know where your parents live?"
"I know...and they are from Sanshan City."
Wu Ansu suddenly understood why Li Mengnan brought the ashes to report.
"You... plan to meet your parents?"
Li Mengnan remained silent for a long time, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the red light spot of the cigarette butt flickered brightly and dimly.
"I... don't know." After the cigarette burned to the end, Li Mengnan dropped the cigarette butt and sighed softly, "Maybe I will go and have a look. After all, they are my biological parents after all, and they are the ones I am in this world now.
The only remaining relatives..."
"Then have you ever thought about what if..."
"I have thought about it." Li Mengnan knew what Wu Ansu wanted to say, and smiled indifferently: "Whether they are willing to accept me or not, it doesn't matter to me. Without them around for so many years, I
No, they are still living well... I just want to see them with my own eyes, and tell them that they don't need to send me any more money. I have hands and feet, and I am still a person with a red heart, two hands, eight honors and eight shames for the people.
Highly educated and high-quality talents can do whatever they want without starving to death."
The little emotion that Wu Ansu had finally brewed up was immediately disturbed by Li Mengnan's narcissism. He rolled his eyes and said, "It's true that he has hands and feet. I don't see the high level of education and quality..."
"Being pregnant is like being pregnant. It can only be seen after a long time... Officer Wu, you have this misunderstanding about me, which only shows that you don't know me well enough." Li Mengnan spread his hands and expressed regret.
"Forget it, I know you too well, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you."
Wu Ansu suddenly realized that he had just followed Li Mengnan for a few hours, and he actually learned to complain. As expected, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black.
Seeing that the quartz clock in the room pointed at seven o'clock, Wu Ansu realized that it was already late, so he stood up and said, "That's it...if anything happens, you can call me at any time."
"Can I take a shot if I can't sleep at night?" Li Mengnan asked seriously.
"Do you dare to give it a try?" Wu Ansu gritted her teeth and said, she felt that she was really wrong and she shouldn't have any sympathy for Li Mengnan.
"You are such a contradictory person." Li Mengnan dug his ears indifferently.
Wu Ansu glared at Li Mengnan angrily, and turned around to leave without even saying goodbye. However, Li Mengnan leaned at the door, smiling like a brothel madam and shouted loudly, "Officer Wu, come here to play often", attracting the attention of those passing by.
The guests looked at each other sideways.
Wu Ansu covered his face and ran wildly, almost vomiting blood.
…
"This Li Mengnan is really a bastard!"
Wu Ansu took out the keys and unlocked the electronic lock of the police car, while cursing angrily. Then for some reason, he suddenly burst out laughing.
Although her personality is a bit unconventional, Li Mengnan is also a very interesting person... She seems to have not been so happy for a long time since her father passed away.
Opening the car door, Wu Ansu suddenly stopped taking the next step, with a look of confusion on his face.
She felt as if there was something crucial that she had overlooked, but she couldn't remember what it was.
Maybe I am too worried?
Wu Ansu shook his head, got into the compartment and started the car. Two bright strips of light appeared in front of the old black and white Santana, and the scarlet taillights gradually disappeared into the vast night.
…
Standing in front of the window and watching Wu Ansu's police car drive away, Li Mengnan's eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep across the silver-gray Changan minivan in the corner below, and the corners of his mouth raised in a subtle arc.
"Such a crude tracking method is looked down upon by others..."
Observation is a required course for magicians. When Li Mengnan came out of the hospital, he noticed this silver-gray minivan that kept appearing in the rearview mirror and followed it for dozens of kilometers. It would be too far-fetched to say it was a coincidence.
A few minutes later, clear and rhythmic footsteps sounded outside the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Li Mengnan was sitting on the sofa chair facing the door. He wanted to see what tricks that pretty boy Nanlihe could play.
The door opened slightly, and the person standing outside was not the rough-looking men with sinister faces as Li Mengnan expected, but instead a woman with heavy makeup.
At first glance, she looks quite stunning, but there are still a few fine lines faintly visible under the thick foundation and wide black eyeliner. It is obvious that she has lost her youth. Her figure wrapped in a tight black skirt looks a little fat, but deep.
The unfathomable ravine under the V-neckline is quite interesting.
If the makeup could be lighter, she would be considered a pretty mature lady.
The woman didn't seem to expect to open the door so easily. She stood at the door and was stunned for a moment. Then she walked straight into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. Her two big white legs, which were almost exposed to her panties, were crossed and raised, and her eyebrows were full of spring.
: "Little brother, do you need massage service?"
It turned out to be the legendary woman who had fallen off her feet,
Li Mengnan couldn't help but take a closer look at this charming mature woman, secretly thinking that the professional workers in big cities were indeed of much higher quality than those in small shampoo shops in the town. If he hadn't said anything, he would have thought she was a woman from a good family.
Li Mengnan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood something instantly. He smiled noncommittally and asked, "Beauty, are you asking about me? Or about my little brother?"
