The wooden door of the room was well soundproofed, but the quarrel between Li Cunshan and Du Qinglian could still be heard very clearly inside, and Tang Lin didn't want to listen or hear it.
At this moment, Li Hongjie had already placed his leather shoes neatly at the door, and took out a brush from the shoe cabinet to clean them directly. This place, less than 70 square meters, was decorated by her to be more like a home and more humane.
"Sister, help me get a cup of coffee. It seems like today is going to be a protracted battle!" Tang Lin asked for a drink. Li Hongjie was very obedient and quickly put down the shoe brush in her hand and ran to the bathroom to wash her hands. After washing for a long time, she came out to show Tang Lin.
Grinding coffee. She has a small coffee machine, which she bought in Hong Kong. It is purely handcrafted and she likes it very much. Although it only costs more than 2,000 yuan, she carries it with her wherever she goes.
She doesn't have cat poop coffee at home, and she doesn't look like a lady to begin with. What she is grinding is black coffee, the kind of coffee beans that have a melancholy, strong aroma and a bitter taste.
Li Hongjie was very attentive and quiet when grinding coffee, as if the loud noises in the room were soft background music.
Tang Lin came from a grassroots background, but his father and mother rarely quarreled, so he really admired Li Hongjie for being so calm despite the bloody storm, and couldn't help but walk over and watch quietly.
"Sister, how much does this thing cost? It looks very fun. I want to get one too!"
Li Hongjie was stunned, "It doesn't cost much. If you like it, take this away later and I'll wrap it up for you!" Tang Lin grinned, "A gentleman doesn't take away someone's love. Keep this sister for yourself.
Whenever you see one like yours, just buy one for me. If it’s too expensive, you can give it to me, haha.”
Li Hongjie looked at him strangely, "My mother said that about you just now, how dare you say this?" Tang Lin shook his head indifferently, "Well, this tastes really good, even better than when I drank it. What's the point?
I am your brother and you are my sister. Although we are not close, our relationship... Hey, our relationship is so close that we can no longer be close, right? Although we may no longer have the opportunity to be so close in the future.
Yes, but we have been close to each other after all."
"So, I have a thicker skin and I like what I like. I used to look down on rich people when I was in the army. I have hated the rich since I was a child. The reason is very simple, because I am poor. But after leaving the army and coming to the local area, I understand
The first truth is that when living in a city, everything else is nonsense. Money is the first priority. Does having money make you a bad person? Does having money make you tacky? Most of the time, people without money just look jealous!
"
Tang Lin's sudden change made Li Hongjie very uncomfortable. "It's unkind to be rich now. If you have money, you will become more evil, right? Brother, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered anything recently? Are you short of money? Then tell my sister.
Ah, you are really..."
As she spoke, Li Hongjie seemed to realize that what she said was inappropriate. She had experienced Tang Lin's self-esteem more than once, so she immediately stopped mid-sentence and quickly changed the topic, "By the way, you were talking about Tianying Security last time.
How is the company's situation? I'm waiting for investment!"
Then he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in Tang Lin's ear, "Actually, there is another important reason why my mother is so angry this time, and that is because my father transferred 80% of the property, industrial stocks and other things in his name to my name.
Next, I only kept 10% of the shares for retirement. My mother never went to my father’s company. The two of them had a strict property agreement. My mother owned 10% of the company’s shares and did nothing or participate in anything. What’s more,
I don't participate in the company's operations and decision-making, and I only get dividends every year. The other 90% is controlled by my dad, but recently my dad felt that he was quarreling too much with my mom, so he just divided the property to me.
It’s a family inheritance.”
"This is actually what I wanted to do when I went back this time. I didn't agree at first, but then my dad told me that these things will be mine sooner or later. It's better to give them to you now safely and without any hassle. Because
My mother said more than once that the property should be divided and the company’s shares should be increased in divorce. My father said that it was her master who instigated it, and he was a female master! In addition, my mother’s temper is unstable now, so..."
Tang Lin didn't seem to have any special reaction after hearing this. Such shocking news seemed to be nothing compared to the steaming cup of freshly baked black coffee!
He rubbed his hands and waited like a child, but Li Hongjie didn't give it to him directly, "I'll add two cubes of sugar for you. This coffee is very bitter!"
However, Tang Lin took it directly and cautiously, "I'm not afraid of bitterness. Adding sugar will negate the original bitter taste."
In fact, Li Hongjie didn't like adding sugar to black coffee, so the two of them stood in front of the small bar, back to back, each holding a cup of hot coffee and drinking it.
The entrance is very hot and bitter, but when it enters the esophagus, it is full of melancholy. It feels really good. Tang Lin likes this taste very much, "Well, sister, this tastes good. I went to the bank to do business during the day and someone bought me a drink.
The cat poop coffee is said to be very expensive. To be honest, I held on tight, otherwise I would have been so disgusted that I would have vomited!"
Li Hongjie moved and said, "Brother, we have to find a way. I heard something wrong with my father's voice. If the noise continues for a while, he will have a heart attack!"
Tang Lin was startled and nodded instinctively, "Sister, tell me, whatever the plan is, I will cooperate with you!" Li Hongjie gritted her teeth, "Actually... I have communicated this matter to my dad, but my dad hasn't nodded yet.
I mean, you should accept my dad as your godfather. My dad is a very nice person, with a good background. He is reasonable, polite and insightful. He usually likes to read, play chess and golf. If you want to accept my dad as your godfather, I will
Mom won’t be so noisy!”
Tang Lin was a little confused, "Sister, your mother wants to kill someone right now when she sees me. She says I cheated money and sex. Well, I haven't got the money yet, but I have the sex. She won't let me have any contact with you.
, will you ask your father to be my godfather? Then wouldn’t I become your family member, and in her eyes, wouldn’t it be like inviting a wolf into the house? She can’t kill me herself, so she has to hire a killer organization, haha.”
Li Hongjie looked very serious, "Go, let me talk to you about business. In fact, my mother is not without weaknesses. In fact... my mother is not without weaknesses. After she gave birth to me, my mother could not have children again. She smoked and washed herself in cold water.
Infertility caused by bathing, and in my father’s hometown in Xindu, it is impossible for my father’s family business to be inherited without a son, even a nominal godson. It is very taboo and fatal to not have a male son. Even a few years ago, I
When I was young, my father even considered adopting a boy, but later gave up because I didn't agree."
"But my dad has always had this problem. It would be better if he didn't go back to his hometown in Xindu. When he went back, my 80-year-old grandfather used crutches all day long to ask him for a grandson. He was helpless. So I took the opportunity to mention it to him when I went back this time.
He said he needed to consider this matter carefully, after all, it is not a trivial matter!"
"I told him that Tang Lin is my benefactor, and he is not greedy. It will only benefit you and not harm you if you become your godfather. Your godson does not have any legal inheritance rights, and now all your property is in my name...
…”
Tang Lin had long understood that Li Hongjie was taking a roundabout way. What she actually wanted to say was: Tang Lin, if we can't be husband and wife in this life, then let's be true siblings!
However, the two of them really had sex, and they really wanted to become openly siblings. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?
