Chaos

Chapter 19

On the opening day of Li Shu Tavern, Li Lu did not arrange to attend the banquet.

Early in the morning, after Li Lu changed his clothes, he sat on a chair and watched Wu Mohan put on earrings in the mirror.Wu Mohan likes bright places, and often sits in the sun. The embroidered gold thread on the cheongsam is twinkling, needless to say, it is full of jewels, and the slender eyebrows and eyes like snakes can catch people's hearts with a blink.

He was in no mood to go to Li Shu's banquet bureau.

"Does it look good?" Wu Mohan saw that Li Lu was looking at him, and turned to ask.

Li Lu rarely showed a smile because of joy: "It looks good, looks like a foreigner, with curly hair."

Wu Mohan traced the thin willow eyebrows, and said: "Then I will learn from foreigners and call you 'Da Ling', okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's honey!"

Li Lu smiled, raised his chin and said, "I don't understand things about foreigners, just make yourself happy."

Wu Mohan put on a reproachful expression, pretending to complain: "Look at you, why can't you learn from Li Shu, and he also deals with foreigners every day, so you don't need to bring a translator!"

Li Lu's face pulled down, "Don't mention her, don't compare."

After Wu Mohan finished her makeup, she walked towards Li Lu, sat on the armrest, and put her on Li Lu's shoulder.

"Okay, no comparison. Then I'll call you 'Darling' from now on! I'm going out to enjoy the autumn scenery today, the sun is so beautiful, don't slump your face, be happy!"

Li Lu smiled, looked at the sun that had just been covered outside, and said, "Today is cloudy and there is no sunshine!"

"If there is nothing, there is nothing. Heaven is not sunny every day." Wu Mohan sat up straight with a smile, "However, Lu, you will officially take over in a few days. Li Shu's tavern is open. If you don't go, really Are you okay?"

Li Lu sneered and said, "It's fine if I don't go. If I do, they will definitely make a fuss. That day I said in front of Li Shu, Li Kang, and Master Qin that I was going to disrupt the situation. The bodyguards are not vegetarians."

Wu Mohan approached with a smile, "Are you scared?"

Li Lu squinted, straightened his clothes, and said indifferently: "What do I have to be afraid of? I just don't want to cause trouble before taking over."

Li Lu stood up while talking, hung the holster on his waist, and picked up the handle from the bedside with an eagle's head carved on it. A cold light with scratches was refracted on it, hitting.

"You want to kill her?"

Li Lu put the gun back and said, "What are you thinking? It's for self-defense. Besides, what's the use of me killing her? She's no longer from the Li family."

"Then what if she really insists on coming back as you said?"

The movements in Li Lu's hands paused, and he said, "She won't come back."

"how do you know?"

Li Lu sat on the bed and lowered his eyes. No one would have thought that the murderous and arrogant Li Lu would have such an expression.Wu Mohan walked over gently, sat beside him, and gently touched his back.Li Lu suddenly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Wu Mohan's waist, buried his head in her arms, and Wu Mohan hugged him blankly.

"You want her to come back?" Wu Mohan asked softly.

Li Lu didn't speak for a long time, and buried his head deeper. Wu Mohan stroked his hair, like a mother comforting a child.

"I don't want her to come back, and I don't want to kill her." Li Lu's voice was muffled by his clothes.

Wu Mohan fiddled with his hair carefully, and said softly: "Because she is your older sister, I understand."

Li Lu didn't respond, but he knew that Wu Mohan didn't understand, because even he didn't understand why it made him so soft-hearted when he was just some candy and toys from childhood.If his sister hadn't denied him a little love like everyone else, he wouldn't have had such a hard choice between killing her or not?

The elder brother Shang has been the heir since birth, held in the palm of the whole family, while Nan belongs to the big family. Only the two of them have the rare things brought back by their father. Nan will bring the things to Lu and Gong to share, but Shang Never.So he hated Shang, and at the same time, he was jealous of Nan who later became the heir.What a wonderful heir, with so many people around to wait on him, and he can marry several Mrs. and wives. If Nan hadn't left the Li family, he would have had no choice but to live his whole life with Shen Jinghu, who had no relationship with him at all.

Li Lu has been curled up in Wu Mohan's arms without saying a word. Wu Mohan could feel his heartbeat when Wu Mohan hugged him. It was the first time she knew that Li Lu, who was called cold-blooded and ruthless and whose heart was thinner than hair, had such a side.

Wu Mohan suddenly remembered what others said about Li Lu's ability to "read minds", and he could see through anyone who betrayed him at a glance.

"Lu, I heard people say that you can 'read mind'?"

"Yes." Li Luweng said in a low voice.

"Then can you read what I'm thinking right now?"

"can."

"What am I thinking right now?"

"You're thinking," Li Lu raised his head, squinted at Wu Mohan, and smiled, "Me."

Wu Mohan let out a "puchi" laugh.

Li Lu returned to his original appearance, stood up, and said, "Don't let me read minds casually. If you ask me to read minds, it's to make Guan Gong open his eyes and kill someone."

Li Lu recalled the 16 years before he became the heir, he had been cautiously trying to get more attention from his parents, even if it was just a gentle look, but before Li Shang died, he had never received such a small favor a few times .After so many years of humiliation, he was fed up with suspicion and resignation, but he still couldn't let go of suspicion and couldn't trust anyone.He squinted his eyes and broke out a thin layer of sweat. The tiny details can always be detected by his over-sensitive radar. In his opinion, these people who can express unscrupulously and still be noticed are not worthy of being forgiven. If they can , Then what are the decades I have lived?

What "mind reading" is scar.

The grass in the northern suburbs is not good, high and low, but Wu Mohan is very happy, it is rare to have a decent trip, she dare not ask for more.

Li Lu occasionally looked at Wu Mohan who was holding his arm, thinking that there had never been such ordinary people's days before, and there would not be many in the future. He wanted to make this day as pleasant as possible.

The sky was getting cloudy little by little, and the wind was a bit stuffy, but it didn't affect the interest of the two of them.

Not far away, a tall and thin rickshaw driver has been watching them go to the suburbs, turned around, pulled up the rickshaw and left.

Celebrities from all walks of life came to the banquet that day. Li Shu wore a rare dark green cheongsam embroidered with a brown fox fur shawl. He greeted the guests who came to the banquet, but he always looked around worriedly. Like waiting for someone.

Guo Liu came over and said, "Mrs. Li, the guests have almost arrived. Just now the host asked me to ask if you can start?"

"Is Li Lu here?"

"I didn't come, it was Li Kang who came. But it's okay to come. He didn't dare to move casually in such a big place. He made a grimace in the inner hall, and Master Qin was guarding the door. There were two layers of people outside, and the patrol room would send someone to guard against accidents." Someone is coming."

Li Shu carefully breathed a sigh of relief, his hanging heart slightly relaxed.

After the ball started, Li Shu was waltzing with a male dancer. While waiting in the wing room, Cheng Yu suddenly saw Li Kang sitting alone at the table drinking, so he walked over.

"Why don't you go dancing?" Cheng Yu sat next to Li Kang.

Li Kang put down his glass and said with a smile, "I won't."

"Really?" Cheng Yu smiled, "I don't think so. I'm preoccupied, let me guess what I'm thinking, Li Lu?"

Li Kang bent his smiling eyes, looked down at the wine glass, and didn't speak.

"Don't worry," Cheng Yu turned his head to look at the dance floor, "he won't come."

Li Kang took a sip of his wine and asked with a smile, "Why are you so sure?"

"I have been married to your sister for 12 years. Although I don't know how to do business, I have heard from her that in order to do great things, the right time, place and people are indispensable. Li Lu is about to take over, and he has taken advantage of the "time". "; for any business that needs to be transported by water, the lifeblood is concentrated at the wharf, and it is convenient to collect power. This is a "geographical advantage"; now that the real power of the Li family's wharf is in your hands, a special trip to show that Mrs. Li has also made him vigilant, Li If Lu wants to secure his position as Mr. Da, he will definitely take action. What do you think, based on what you know about Li Lu, what will he do for "Renhe"?"

Li Kang's mind was full of waves, he seemed to have heard Li Lu's gunshots, and the night Shanghai carpet dyed blood red.

"But fortunately, before tomorrow, he will not be Mr. Da." Cheng Yu looked at him with a smile.

The tip of Li Kang's shoe suddenly turned to the door, holding the wine glass with one hand and resting on his knee with the other, like a fully wound bow.

Cheng Yu noticed Li Kang's action, just smiled, and said casually: "Mrs. Li said yesterday that she had a bad appetite and wanted to eat Heji's jujube cake, but Heji's cakes are only available before dark. But it looks like a grimace." I can't leave today."

Li Kang quickly came to his senses, smiled, and said, "Mr. Cheng, please tell Sister Nan that there are some things that need to be done. Excuse me!"

"It's okay." Cheng Yu smiled and nodded.

Just as Li Kang left, Master Qin came over, looked at Li Kang's hurried back, and said, "Li Kang is gone?"

"Well, private matters."

"What did you say to him that you left in such a hurry?"

Cheng Yu smiled, "It's nothing. Li Lu came to Li's house to make trouble, and even quarreled with Li Kang. Since it's a shame, who is Li Kang and who is Li Lu? I don't believe that Li Kang will go back." Just sit and wait for death, and definitely take action. Now that you have done it, give him a push and let him go straight to the end. The two brothers will fight each other, and Madam Li will be able to retreat. Go ask Guo Liu to follow, just follow, no matter what you see Never mind."

Li Kang went out, bypassed several floors of people, got into a rickshaw, and drove towards the northern suburbs.
