After breakfast, Li Xianyu and his harem group ran to the shopping mall. The last time he went back to his parents' home was in April. It was already the middle of September. He hadn't gone home for half a year.
Li Xianyu liked a free life and didn't like living with his adoptive parents. When he occasionally found a pretty lady online and wanted to meet, his adoptive mother would ask, “Where are you going? When are you coming back tonight?”
Li Xianyu couldn't possibly reply, “Mom, a pretty girl is very interested in me, and I'm also curious about her. I'll go out one night and come back tomorrow morning.”
Later, I inherited my Great-Grandma and stepped into the demon descendant community. Aftering knowing my bloodline and the bad situation surrounding my life, I was more reluctant to go home.
There were many people with a bottom line in the community, there were more people without a bottom line. Although Baoze would send people to protect his adoptive parents secretly, Li Xianyu was still worried about implicating them in this ruthless world.
In this context, the more distant he is from his adoptive parents, the safer they are.
He applied to the company for a business car. San Wu drove. Li Xianyu sat in the co-driver's seat. In the backseats were Great-Grandma, Cuihua, and Hua Yang. Cuihua laid on Hua Yang's lap in the form of a cat, squinting lazily.
The purpose of going home today was not to bring the harem group to meet the parents. Originally, he didn't plan to bring San Wu and Cuihua. But after listening, Cuihua turned into her original form, jumped onto Li Xianyu's face, and taught him with her sharp claws what it meant to not abandon his comrades. Thus, she was brought along with San Wu. The whole harem group must be there together.
“Mother Hua YAng, my adoptive father is my father's best friend. My father could entrust him with his only child, I think they have a special relations.h.i.+p.” Li Xianyu took out his wallet from his business case, then took out an old wallet from his wallet, He opened the old wallet. “Have you seen this man?”
Hua Yang fixed her eyes and shook her head. “I haven't seen him before.”
Li Xianyu was not convinced. “Were you not my father's true… true love of a lifetime?”
Hearing this, Hua Yang showed a sweet look of remembrance and said softly, “But we were secretly together at that time. Baiyun temple doesn't advocate marriage. I didn't know what the master thought, so I haven't dared to openly talk about my relations.h.i.+p with your father.”
She looked at Great-Grandma and said, “Besides, your father traveled far and wide. Unlike me, who lived in seclusion all year round, he knew too many brothers and friends.”
Great-Grandma nodded. “Your father was really wild. He ran around the country. He also wandered in the South China Sea with the band. At that time, there were no Sansha islands. It's called Xisha Zhongsha or something. ”
“You were there, too?” asked Li Xianyu.
“I didn't go. I stayed happily in Shanghai. Who would want to accompany him to roam the world?” Great-Grandma turned her eyes. “When the money ran out, I just robbed the bank. Just after your father came back from Hainan, he was blocked in the railway station by the Taoist and Buddhist a.s.sociation. He realized that he was a wanted person for robbery. Oh, by the way, that's how he got to know the Buddha head and became a disciple of Lianghua temple. ”
“You are too much…” Li Xianyu murmured.
“Don't think I don't know what's on his mind. I watched him grow up.” Great-Grandma groaned. “He just thought that he had grown up and wanted to fly away by himself and let me live alone and go back into the Black Water Spirit Bead and wait for his next generation. Because he hadn't had morning wood since he was eighteen. ”
Li Xianyu squinted. “How do you know he didn't have morning wood?”
Great-Grandma chuckled. “That's what he said. Except for you, my great-grandchildren of every generation had no desire, and they were indifferent to the most beautiful women.”
Hua Yang nodded, covered her mouth and smiled. “He told me that it was hereditary that the Li family was deficient in terms of kidney functionality, but I was a disciple of the Taoist school, so I didn't care about desire.”
Li Xianyu guessed, “Was it because you are a Taoist disciple that he is willing to be with you, so that he wouldn't have green caps flying at his head?”
Hua Yang glared at him.
“Oh, the topic is all over the place.” Li Xianyu subtly s.h.i.+fted the topic. “Great-Grandma don't know my adoptive father, neither do you. I am starting to have some bad premonitions.”
“Even if they were best of brothers who had sworn an oath of life and death, would my father give me to him if he didn't have enough strength to protect me? Whatever happened, it would have been safer for him to pa.s.s me to Buddha Head instead. After the incident with the Great-Deities Palace, Great-Grandma sealed herself, and all was over. At that time, it was the best choice to give me to Buddha to raise me. For various reasons, Buddha Head may not fight against the public consensus, but he will never let anyone persecute a baby. This is the bottom line of a Buddhist monk. ”
The harem was deep in thought.
Hua Yang thought for a moment. “You also knew that you are a baby. No matter how greedy those who covet the treasure are, they will not care about you as a baby. After all, you don't know anything. At that time, no one knew what the treasure was. Naturally, no one knew about the double awakening. No one thought that you would have the treasure. Then, there's nothing wrong with giving you up to a good brother to raise you and get you out of the demon descendant world. ”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady agreed. “If he had given you to Lianghua temple and if the Buddha Head had a monk who did not care about any consequences, the Li family would really lose its bloodline. Your father must have thought of this too.”
“No, if he wanted to protect me, the best way was to send me to Lianghua temple for custody. It's the safest way. To give me an ordinary person would be too much of a joke.” Li Xianyu shook his head.
“You were not the target. You were just an orphan. Besides, I said before I sealed my name, if I don't see the descendants of the Li family 20 years later, I'll ensure that blood flows like a river in the demon descendant world,” Great-Grandma said.
“But, but…” Li Xianyu scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks. That reasoning caught him unexpected.
“Have you even begun to doubt your adoptive parents at last?” Great-Grandma quietly spoke.
Li Xianyu looked at her stupidly, his face turning pale slowly. He turned back silently and tried to curl himself up on the seat, like a wild dog losing his vitality.
Even San Wu, who was not distracted by driving, couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Everyone in the car looked at each other for a moment. Cuihua jumped from Hua Yang's knee, climbed to the empty chair in the last row, took out her mobile phone, and a few seconds later, the harem group received a message: “There is something wrong with his current state.”
Cuihua pulled them into a chat group.
Great-Grandma: “Something has gone wrong for a long time. When I first met him, he was much more lively than now. He was not so gloomy like now.”
Hua Yang beckoned, and San Wu's mobile phone flew out of her pocket and landed in her hand. She joined the group.
San Wu: “In fact, Slime has been influencing his mind imperceptibly.”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: “When we had a meeting last night, he definitely guessed something. Or he formed some kind of negative connections, such that he started to doubt even his adoptive parents.”
She sympathized with Li Xianyu.
Hua Yang and the others were silent. Thunderbolt Battle Lady told them privately about what happened at last night's meeting.
Baoze's guess was right. The Great Demons' Alliance did get the relics of Li Wuxiang. How did it get them? It was a mystery.
Was it that the Emperor of the Banshee alliance found the treasure hidden by Li Wuxiang, or was it that it was handed to her by Li Wuxiang before he died? About this, Li Xianyu probably had some hypothesis, and he suspected even his adoptive parents.
Grandma's words undoubtedly hurt him.
Hua Yang: “It's no wonder that his mental energy fluctuated a lot last night. He didn't sleep when he went back to his room in the middle of the night. I thought it was simply because he was not happy after being beaten up by Great-Grandma”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: “Great-Grandma, why did you hit him last night?”
Great-Grandma: “I… Don't ask. Let's just say nothing happened.”
Hua Yang: “He needs to vent. He has been holding a lot of negative emotions recently.”
Great-Grandma: “How to vent?”
Hua Yang: “@ Thunderbolt Battle Lady”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: “Why? It's none of my business.” What do you think of me as? A call girl?
Hua Yang: “@ Cui Hua”
Cui Hua's hair stood on ends.
Cui Hua: “Go away, it's none of my business.”
Hua Yang said: “Then go do some missions. Killing is also a way for him to vent. I know he wants to kill.”
Great-Grandma: “Don't bother. Watch me.”
All of a sudden, she pouted out her little mouth and sucked hard. Li Xianyu's anguished groan came from the front pa.s.senger seat.
He turned his head and looked tired. “Great-Grandma… What are you doing with me?”
Hua Yang was silent. Thunderbolt Battle Lady was also quiet. And so was Cuihua.
Great-Grandma: “He will turn into a sage for a long time to come.”
At 11 A.M., the business car drove into the residence area. There were plenty of parking s.p.a.ces in the community. Most of the people who had cars drove to work.
The area was very good. Now the house price was 65000 dollars per square meter, and the only downside was that the rooms were a bit old. The residential buildings built in the 1990s were only eight floors high and had no elevator.
When Li Xianyu was in junior high school, there was a large-scale redevelopment in Shanghai, and the city changed with each pa.s.sing day. At that time, rumors were spreading in many older residential areas: “Just wait a few more years, the government will come to redevelop this area!”
That urban legend has lasted for more than ten years. In the past ten years, the original rural areas of Pudong had been redeveloped and their original owners turned into rich people with multiple houses. And these groups of original “city” people, ten years later, were still living in the old community.
After going to university and studying the history of China's economic development and urban economic construction, Li Xianyu summed up a rule that no matter where the construction and demolition of the government was, it would never start from the center of the city. They target areas that were more rural and dilapidated.
First, the demolition cost was low, second, the development value was high.
Third floor, Room 308.
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen and the financial news was playing in the living room.
“My wife, apple stock has plummeted. Many colleagues in my company have made a lot of money. I should have short sold with them, after all my overseas account would be free anyways.” The sigh of the adoptive father echoed.
“How much money have you lost in the stock market these years? In the bull market of the previous few years, your daughter has made hundreds of thousands in the stock market. How about you? You lost hundreds of thousands from the profits of your son's old house that you sold. If he finds out about it he will surely fight with you.” The sound of the adoptive mother came from the kitchen.
Li Wuxiang had left a house for his son. After all, his adoptive father who made a career in a state enterprise had a good eye. He sold it on his own initiative and bought a new house. After buying the new house, he had a surplus of 340,000 dollars. Now the new house was worth even higher than the old one. This housing investment was a huge profit.
“I was trapped. Who would have expected the market to crash so hard? Capitalists are also despicable. The market had collapsed like that, and they were still trying to release good news in the news,” said the adoptive father.
“You are a party member. You have no ideological awareness at all,” the adoptive mother scolded.
“Precisely because I have such a high level of ideological awareness and believed in the media with no doubt, I lost,” the adoptive father retorted.
The adoptive father happened to be at home on vacation today. He wanted to go out and spend a day playing chess and cards. In the morning, he heard that his son was going to take his female cla.s.smate home, and thus he decided to stay at home.
He said in his heart that this unrestrained adopted son finally turned around and was willing to have a proper relations.h.i.+p.
Seeing that the adopted son grew to become a walking human piston, he was responsible too. When Li Xianyu was a child, he always boasted in front of him: “In those days, your dad had countless adventures. In my left hand there was Marilyn Monroe, in my right hand there was Grace Kelly. Walking behind me was a bunch of lackeys who followed my every instruction. Waltzing through any dancehalls, I had countless partners, but none could keep my heart. Later, I saw your mother. She was like a helpless canoe in a raging sea and I couldn't bear to see her buried in the sea, so I gave her a warm harbor.”
So the adopted son grew up like a runaway wild dog, walking further and further on the road of a girl in each hand. He opened many rooms, but none became his girlfriend. But on second thought, he didn't fail to live up to his old brother's entrustment. His son really grew up. Just considering this colorful experience, few of his peers could match him.
There was a knock at the door.
“Here comes the salted fish,” said the adoptive father, looking at his Ice Shard daughter, whose eyes were slanted and expressionless. “Open the door for your brother.”
His Ice Shard daughter who had been growing to become more and more beautiful, glanced at him lightly.
“Ok, fine. I will go myself.” The adoptive father put on his slippers, went to the porch and opened the door.
He was stunned by the scene at the door.
