Home in Zurich

When he received the call from Suli, Li Xuanbai was in the waiting hall of a foreign airport, preparing to transfer to New York.

As a world-renowned psychological expert, he needs to set aside a period of time every year to fly to several countries and be invited to attend a series of worldwide academic seminars.

In the years when Su Li's grandfather, Wang Yongyulin, passed away, he took Su Li by his side and raised him.

At that time, Su Li was still in elementary school, and his mental state was already very bad, with autism, depression, insomnia, and anorexia.Mr. Wang contacted Li Xuanbai through his relationship, and hired him to provide psychological treatment for his grandson with a lot of money.

After intensive treatment, Su Li's condition gradually improved, and even for a period of time, even the symptoms of acute anxiety disorder no longer appeared.

Mr. Wang’s ancestors had a huge family with hairpin tassels for generations. During the war, the whole family moved overseas to avoid disaster. Until now, most of the branches of the family still live overseas.

Mr. Wang's team returned to China after the situation stabilized to develop. It coincided with the introduction of new policies one after another. With his rich family background and overseas resources, he took advantage of this east wind and became the richest man in the southeast region for more than ten years.

His parents died young, and as the grandson of the eldest son of this branch of the Wang family, Mr. Wang was still very young when he inherited the power of the family. He had devoted himself to the family almost all his life and dared not slack off.

Perhaps it was because he devoted all his energy to his career in his early years and neglected to discipline his children. Mr. Wang has four sons and three daughters in total. They are either mediocre, or lazy and lazy, and none of them can bear the heavy responsibility.

Su Li's mother, Wang Wanqing, was originally the second daughter of Mr. Wang. When she was young, she insisted on marrying Su's father, regardless of the interests of the family, and broke the marriage contract made by the Wang family several years ago in an almost tragic way. Another big family turned against each other.Therefore, he was expelled from the family by Mr. Wang, and even his name was crossed out from the genealogy.

Wang Wanqing was a mediocre person, she had no ambition since she was a child, and she didn't want to suffer even half of it.Because she was a daughter, Mr. Wang allowed her to be ignorant.

Such a woman who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth and grew up pampered by her family, once she leaves the family and marries an ordinary working class, she has no skills and cannot find a suitable job, so she has to stay at home to care for her husband and teach her children.

Has there ever been a perfect love in the world that Xiao Xiao imagined when she was a girl?In terms of relationships, Wang Wanqing was disappointed early on.

Leaving the environment where there are servants to welcome you when you go in and out, there are no more fine clothes and fine food, and you are surrounded by people who are busy working for three meals a day. Especially in those years when her husband just started his business, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar were the focus of her life. As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I unconsciously began to calculate the expenses of the day, and the calculations were always stretched.

The huge psychological gap made her live her life almost in a mess. Her already spoiled temperament became more and more out of control, always uncertain, until her husband succeeded in starting a business and regained his wealth. somewhat restrained.

Maybe because the youngest son was weak and sick from birth, Wang Wanqing's little loving mother was hit. For the youngest son, she gave herself almost all the love and care, but she treated the eldest son just like she treated life. Inattentive, sometimes hysterical.

Mr. Wang is a vigorous and resolute person. In the early years, he said one thing and one thing. After he severed his relationship with Wang Wanqing, he really did not have any contact with him, and he strictly ordered everyone in the Wang family to draw a clear line from him.

But in the last few years before Mr. Wang's death, Su Li became the only exception in this relationship. He was even taken to Mr. Wang's side to nurture him carefully.

But even so, in the will, Mr. Wang only left a property for this grandson, and he can only inherit it when he reaches the age of 25.

On New Year's Eve this year, the Su family was in such an embarrassing situation because of this property.

This house located in the imperial capital is said to be in a good location. With the current housing prices in the imperial capital, it can be said that every inch of land is very expensive.

The Wang family is different today. For some reason, after the death of Mr. Wang, it has declined rapidly at an astonishing speed.

If it were in the past, this property would naturally be nothing to the Wang family, but the Wang family now has some ideas about it.Those with good intentions did not hesitate to violate Mr. Wang's entrustment before his death, and revealed the matter to Wang Wanqing with some excuses.

This year, according to the will, Su Li has never seen the property with his own eyes, so he was criticized by his close relatives, and was even characterized as ulterior motives, selfish and narrow-minded.

Back then, through Li Xuanbai, Mr. Wang learned that this little child had always subconsciously felt that he was lonely, intolerant, and had a strong tendency to self-destruct.So he prepared such a shelter far away in the imperial capital for him very early on, with the intention of giving him a guarantee and expectation, telling him how big the world is, even after working hard, there is still only human indifference here, in this world , there is another place that belongs to him alone.

In Su Li's imagination, it was a small, warm house, the other shore of hope and life.Because of its existence, after his grandfather passed away, he was able to grit his teeth and get through the pain and unbearable time and time again.

He has an almost superstitious obsession with it.

Grandpa told him not to tell his family about the house. Before the age of 25, he should not go to see that house. He should try to get along with his family and go home every Chinese New Year...

He did it all.As if he didn't act according to his words, that little shelter like a life-saving straw would immediately cease to exist.Just like the little mermaid in a fairy tale that my mother secretly told Su Xu when I was a child, it turned into foam in the sea and disappeared forever.

He didn't dare to let himself have the slightest chance of losing it.

Although always with little success, until this New Year's Eve, he has been doing his best to ease the relationship between himself and his loved ones.

Perhaps, he was not born a pleasant person.

He had just served the few dishes he cooked himself, and before he was seated, with almost no preparations, Su's father abruptly asked him to share the house with Su Xu.

He should have endured it in silence, and then took the opportunity to ask the whole story later, and have a good talk with his parents.

However, maybe because the house was too special to him, and the incident happened so unexpectedly, he seemed to have lost control of his body, and turned back fiercely with words.

The situation is out of control...

When Su Li woke up for the second time, he developed a high fever as expected, and his palpitations did not ease for a moment.

He felt that this attack was very different from the past, and he might really die.

He can't die now.

It took him a long time, struggling to adjust himself to a sitting position, covered the quilt, and took out his cell phone.

There are long intervals between each action.

After sitting for a long time, the suffocation dissipated and the words on the phone screen were no longer blurred to the point of unreadability. He opened the address book, found Li Xuanbai's name, and pressed the call button with all his might.

……

On the other side of the ocean, Li Xuanbai answered the phone.

"... Uncle Li... save me..."

He felt that the voice was intermittent, so weak that it was almost indistinguishable, but at the same time, there was an unusual indifference, as if a long time ago, the last thoughts of the dying person had been exhausted.
