Chapter 73 Li Zhengxiao
Chapter 73 Li Zhengxiao
Someone like my elder brother will never choose you in the end.
Lin Zhen didn't go to the company all day. He never believed in gods and Buddhas. He went to Tanze Temple in the suburbs to burn a stick of incense devoutly this day.
Out of the temple, on the way to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, a young monk wearing a blue monk's robe called him, "My almsgiver, I see that you have a sad look on your brow, and if you have any troubles, maybe I can solve one or two for you!"
Knowing that the other party is a liar, Lin Zhen still stood still and waited for him to come over. He said calmly, "I want to ask about the health of the elderly at home."
The "monk" took a look at his face, glanced at the obviously valuable wallet in his hand, could hardly conceal the greed in his eyes, barely suppressed the excitement, frowned and sighed : "Your parents' palace is weak and dark, and your parents are born with a bad relationship. Not only your own parents are affected, even after you get married, the other party's elders will also be affected by you, and your physical health is destined to be poor."
Lin Zhen stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then turned and left.
The fake monk was in a hurry, and chased after him, and hurriedly said: "This benefactor must believe it, since you come to the temple to offer incense, it means that something is wrong at home, there are always multiple choices to try."
Lin Zhenxin was annoyed and ignored him, and heard the other party curse angrily behind him: "Just wait and see, within a week, an elder in your family must pass away, don't regret it then!"
Lin Zhenxin shook his head, quickened his pace, quickly got into the car, started the car and left the parking lot.
……
During the day, the doctor issued another critical illness notice. This time, the situation was very serious. All the members of the Li family in City B went to the hospital and became a mess.
When Li Zhenbai sent a voice message to Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen could vaguely hear the noise from those people far away.
"There is a high probability that they won't be able to survive..." Li Zhenbai said, "They have prepared the shroud."
Lin Zhen wiped his eyes indiscriminately with his hands, and said, "I'm downstairs in the hospital, when the time comes...tell me..."
In the parking lot, Lin Zhenyi waited until midnight. In the car, he could see the Li family members coming and going in and out of the hospital, with different expressions, some were really sad, some were pretending to be sad, and when they went out, they were relieved It doesn't matter, and there are also people with blank expressions, just as if they have completed the task.
Until one o'clock in the morning, Li Zhenbai's message came again, and Mrs. Li was miraculously rescued again.
In the middle of the night, the relatives of the Li family left one after another. Li Zhenbai went downstairs, smoked a cigarette with Lin Zhen in the parking lot, and had a conversation.
In fact, they didn't say anything. Both of them were very tired. They leaned against the car and stood side by side, as if they had talked a lot.
After this rescue, Mrs. Li's condition began to stabilize, and she entered a coma for an unknown time. She was transferred to the general ward. The doctor said that she might wake up at any time, or it might have been like this forever.
It is impossible for everyone to stay in the hospital like this all the time. Li Zhenbai said what to do, and now everyone is relieved. Even Li Fangbing can't wait to leave the hospital with her husband and go home.
On the contrary, Li Zhengxiao was still watching in the hospital, uncharacteristically, with a gloomy expression and didn't speak much.
Li Zhenbai asked him to go back to rest first, but Li Zhengxiao suddenly yelled, "Don't worry about me!"
Hearing this, Li Zhenbai took a deep look at him, Li Zhengxiao gritted his teeth and raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were unruly, Li Zhenbai looked at him for a few seconds, then quickly reached out and grabbed the back of his neck, using the opponent's unrivaled With the strength, he pulled one of them up, and pushed him roughly into an empty ward nearby.
As soon as the door was closed, Li Zhenbai squinted at his younger brother: "What's the matter with you?"
If Li Zhengxiao had behaved like this in the past, Li Zhenbai would have sent him to Nanshan Pass for confinement without asking anything.
But suspecting that his younger brother might lose control of his emotions because he remembered the experience of his father's death in the past, Li Zhenbai forbeared a little more.
However, Li Zhengxiao was not grateful for this rare forbearance. He widened his eyes and shouted in a rebellious manner: "What's wrong with me? Is it in your way?"
Anger flashed across Li Zhenbai's eyes, but he still managed to suppress it. He closed his eyes, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I know you've been feeling uncomfortable these days, if you have anything to say, you can tell me." , but you should know that I cannot tolerate you facing me with such an attitude."
Li Zhengxiao smiled mockingly, "I feel very uncomfortable. I can't feel comfortable when my mother is so sick, but I didn't expect..." His words suddenly stopped, and he snorted coldly, "I'm about to be thirty , there is no need for you to control me like a child every day!"
Li Zhengxiao looked at his brother coldly and said, "Please take care of yourself!"
Bang, the door was kicked open, hit the wall and bounced back.
Li Zhenbai stood in a white ward, with his back to the door, his face was tense, his eyes were downcast, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Two days later, Li Zhenbai also left the hospital, and housekeeper Fang took care of him in the ward.
These two days, in order to take care of family matters, Li Fangbing went back to Li's residence for a temporary stay.
When Li Zhenbai came home from get off work at night, Li Fangbing had already asked the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Ever since Lin Zhen divorced and left the house, it seemed that the family had become much deserted. This time, his mother was seriously ill, and the family felt a little more desolate.
While eating, Li Fangbing sighed and said, "The popularity of the family is getting less and less. When can you two brothers bring back a daughter-in-law, it will be all right to have a few babies at home."
Li Zhenbai glanced at his sister and said, "Let's talk about it later, now that my mother is so sick, I don't have the heart to take care of this matter."
Hearing this, Li Fangbing nodded and said, "That's right, let's talk about it after a while. Among the sisters I often play with, there are sisters and daughters at home..."
She glanced at the second younger brother who had been burying his head in cooking, and continued with a "tsk" sound, "If there is a suitable young man, I will keep an eye out for you and see you when the time is right."
She finished speaking, Li Zhenbai hadn't spoken yet, Li Zhengxiao had put down his rice bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and said with a sneer: "Sister, I think you're going to waste your time, people have a big appetite , look down on the vulgar fan you chose!"
Li Fangbing was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that Li Zhengxiao had something to say, she glanced at the ugly elder brother, and said softly, "Oh, Zhengxiao, who do you think is interested in vulgar fans? It’s not particularly good, how can I introduce it to you, you see you are a little heartless, I love you for nothing!”
Li Zhengxiao let out a "huh" and stood up all of a sudden. The chair legs rubbed against the ground and made a toothache creaking sound. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "It's not me who has no conscience!"
After finishing speaking, no matter what Li Fangbing called him, she turned around, left the dining table and went upstairs.
Li Fangbing looked at Li Zhenbai at a loss, "He... what's wrong with him?"
Li Zhenbai focused his eyes on a certain point on the table, his expression was not unhappy, there was only an indescribable solemnity, but he just said indifferently: "Let's eat..."
……
The next day, after get off work, Li Zhenbai went to the opposite office building, Lin Zhen's office.
The two of them ate a takeaway at Lin Zhen's desk. During the process, they were silent, only occasionally communicating about the taste of the food.
After a meal, after the lunch boxes were packed and thrown away, Lin Zhen made tea for the two of them, and they went to the tea table to sit and drink slowly.
Li Zhenbai said: "Something happened in the past two days, and I have to tell you."
Lin Zhen took a sip of hot tea, put down the cup, and looked up at him.
There seemed to be some noise in the corridor, but Lin Zhen didn't pay much attention to it. He was not so close to the door, so he couldn't hear it clearly.
Li Zhenbai tilted his head subconsciously, his pupils trembled, he stood up abruptly, walked towards Lin Zhen who was on the single sofa, and said, "Before then, I want to hug you."
Lin Zhen frowned slightly, "I don't think now..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhenbai had already stretched out his arms to hug him fiercely, and lowered his head to kiss him. Lin Zhen didn't want to have anything to do with him in his office, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed.
At this moment, the door was kicked open vigorously with a bang, and a man appeared at the door with an angry face. When he saw the situation in the room, the veins on his forehead burst out, and he slammed the door shut again. He strode in, came in front of the two people who were still in the posture of hugging and rejecting, and punched his brother in the face.
Lin Zhen reacted quickly, and immediately stretched out his hand to block it, but he was in a sitting position and was not tall enough, and Li Zhenbai had no intention of avoiding it at all. Li Zhengxiao's fist hit his brother's cheek firmly, and the corner of his mouth immediately leaked. There was bloodshot.
The beaten man looked calm, he let go of Lin Zhen, took two steps back to the side, lightly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and fixedly looked at his younger brother.
Accustomed to his elder brother's perennial inviolable authority, it was hard for Li Zhengxiao to believe that he just hit the other party. As the hitter, he was short of breath instead, showing a look of shock beyond belief, and his eyes repeatedly looked at himself. He moved back and forth between his fist and his brother's face.
Li Zhenbai licked his back molars and tasted the faint smell of blood. He smiled instead of anger, looked at his younger brother with a majestic but playful look, and said softly: "I have been following me secretly for two or three days, why are you so tense today?" Can't stop?"
Lin Zhen looked up at him abruptly, and after a few seconds, looked at Li Zhengxiao again.
The muscles in Li Zhengxiao's eyes were trembling, and his voice was hoarse, "How... how could you do this, you are the head of the Li family, you are so sorry for the Li family, sorry for your parents, and even more sorry... Lin real……"
Li Zhenbai said "oh", and slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves while talking, "You said that I am sorry for the Li family, I am sorry for my parents, I admit it, I am sorry for this..." He said apologetically , but there was no shame on his face at all, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm sorry, where did Lin Zhen come from?"
Li Zhengxiao was so angry that his face turned blue, "Xiao Zhen is not someone who can be easily treated as a teasing object, even if it is you, Li Zhenbai!"
Li Zhenbai's thin lips tightened unhappily when his brother called out his full name in such a tone, "How do you know, I'm not serious?"
Li Zhengxiao choked for breath, his eyes widened, he turned to Lin Zhen quickly, and said very fast: "Xiao Zhen, no matter how he coaxes you, don't believe him, Li Zhenbai can't possibly marry you, He won't make you happy, you have to believe me!"
A drop of tear fell down Li Zhengxiao's cheek, he hastily wiped it with his sleeve, and said: "No matter what you think about me, what I tell you is from the bottom of my heart. When it comes to people and things that conflict with the interests of the family, he will definitely give priority to the family."
"If he had told you that he would choose you, maybe he was sincere at the time, but when the interests of the family were really damaged, the long-term sense of responsibility and the expectations of so many family relatives on him, it was impossible for him to really do it for you. You broke long-established principles!"
Li Zhenbai's expression turned completely cold, he looked at his younger brother, and his tone was as cold as ice: "Have you finished?"
Li Zhengxiao looked back at his brother, his eyes were red, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Xiaozhen can follow anyone, but it can't be you. If you continue, I will tell the elders in the family about it." Well, there is a rule in the family rules that, as the head of the family, if you do something that will infringe or damage the interests of the family, the family members can impeach you at the family gathering together!"
"And Lin Zhen will also be implicated by you."
