Deep Sea Contract
Chapter 72
As an ancient martial arts family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the architecture of the Lijia Clan Center still retains the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Layers of eaves and corners are hidden in the splashing ink, like a beast spying in the dark.
When Li Cheng walked into the main entrance, he saw two black figures rushing past behind the wall.The housekeeper saluted him respectfully, "Eldest young master, the master is waiting for you in the east chamber."
East Wing?
Li Sheng's eyes sank slightly, and he walked towards the place that was so familiar in his memory.
The Li family had a rule that the heir could not live with his parents since he was a child. He spent his entire childhood, even the first murder, in the east wing of the family.
The bamboo in the courtyard of the East Wing was still there, and amidst the shadows of the trees, Li Sheng was about to open the door when he suddenly heard a child crying.The young woman was holding her half-grown child and standing not far from the door of the East Wing, desperately covering the child's mouth, seeing Li Sheng turned around and said with a sneer: "Young Master, you are back."
Ignoring the woman, Li Sheng walked into the east chamber.He knew that woman, who was the latest wife of the old man Li, who was three years older than him.
... Mrs. Li's position is never short of people who want to climb up.
Li Sheng looked at Mr. Li sitting behind the tea table, and said without any emotion, "When are you going to let Lu Li go?"
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass a doctor." Old man Li raised his head, his wrinkled face could vaguely show the handsomeness of his youth, and even from this face, he could see Li Sheng's old appearance. "But I heard from him that your little lover's child seems to be lost. Is it true?"
"You didn't ask me to come just to care about the child, father." Sitting opposite to old man Li, Li Cheng squinted his eyes, his eyes showing a bit of coldness, "What else is there?"
"I'm concerned about the heirs of the Li family." Mr. Li snorted, stretched out his hand and pushed all the document bags on the side to Li Sheng. "These are the daughters of families who have good relations with the Li family, take a look."
"What do you mean?" Li Sheng frowned slightly.
"Since you don't want Mu Ni's child, a woman who cannot give birth to an heir is not qualified to be Mrs. Li. You should choose another one from those families."
"It's not necessary." Li Sheng's voice was flat, but it seemed to ignite the anger of the old man opposite him.
"Li Sheng! Being able to keep your lover's child is already the result of the family's compromise for you, otherwise he will not be able to get treatment at all when he comes out of Xiliyuan today!" After a pause, old man Li whispered: "You must marry Mrs. Li and give birth to an heir for the family."
"Ah."
A cold snort replaced the answer.Li Cheng looked at the porcelain cup in his hand, and then slowly opened his mouth after a while: "My child, no matter what it is, is destined to be the heir of the Li family from birth. As for who he is, who is his biological mother?" , it’s not your turn to intervene.”
"You!" Momentarily out of breath, old man Li stood up abruptly.
"Tell those old guys in the Presbyterian Church to be quiet, and you too," Li Sheng continued in a cold voice: "I could kill your illegitimate son back then, and now I can kill your youngest son as well. Today I am at the gate of the East Chamber Seeing your youngest son, it is not good to die prematurely."
"You, you..."
"I have nothing else to do and I'm leaving."
He was choked with anger by these words for a long time, as soon as Mr. Li raised his eyes, he saw Li Sheng getting up to leave, and said sharply: "Wait!"
"You, hey... Today is your mother's death day. You go to see her every year. Don't you have anything to say to her? She always hopes that you will have a happy family and find someone to live a good life with."
Looking for someone to live a good life?
A face unexpectedly flashed in Li Sheng's mind.It was Sakuson who worked hard in Japan, with slender eyelashes and blue eyes showing a little warmth in the sunlight.
Li Sheng lowered his eyes, covering the complex emotions that flashed in his eyes, "I have already found it."
"But is he willing to spend the rest of his life with you?" He waved his hands disdainfully, and Old Master Li asked back: "I heard that you beat or scolded your little lover all day long, and the people below talk about it every day."
"It was my negligence that the emperor was not strict. From today onwards, I will see who dares to talk about it." Li Sheng replied lightly.
Persuading him to no avail, old man Li sighed, "Hey, you... you are so impulsive, it's really like your mother. In order to keep that illegitimate child, she really jumped down like this without looking back."
"It was you who forced my mother. She had no choice." Li Sheng's face suddenly turned cold as if he had been touched by Ni Lin.
"No, she has." Old Master Li shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his old eyes, "She just needs to give in to me and not be so stubborn..."
"Mother has a strong personality, this assumption will never be true." Cutting off old man Li's words, Li Sheng turned and walked towards the door, "Take care of your new wife, she has crossed the line recently."
"Li Sheng, let me ask you, how long do you plan to keep that little lover of yours by your side?"
"……forever."
On the way back to the villa, Li Sheng rubbed his sore temples, leaning on the back of the chair to rest his mind.
He actually lied to Shuo Xun all along.If you want to completely control the Li family, you must get the shadow guards from each generation of the Li family.This ancient family has too many things that modern civilization does not have, and the dark guard is one of them.
After the death of the old Patriarch, the new Patriarch will inherit the Shadow Guard.Old man Li was only 20 years old when he became a father for the first time, and he had taken away his power early on. It would not be a problem to stay in the villa all day to take care of his life and live another 30 years.
If you spend 30 years with one person, it can barely be considered a lifetime when rounded up.
Why did you sign the contract with Shuo Xun in the first place?Before Li Sheng finished recalling, the car stopped under the villa.
Opening the door, Li Sheng looked at the orange ball lying on the door, thinking of the quarrel a few days ago, he felt a little bad unconsciously.However, the fat cat who was confused still remembered being hugged the warmest when he was a child, and took three steps at a time... and jumped at Li Sheng's feet.
"Meow--meow--" Chubby's paws tried hard enough but couldn't reach the warm chest. A certain cat was meowing to express its dissatisfaction, but was pinched by the nape of its neck.
Thank you Young Master Li for remembering that the owner of Fat Cat is still in the living room.
Carrying the heavy ball to the sofa, Li Sheng quietly looked at Shuo Xun, who was twisted and asleep on the sofa, and bent down to pick up the book that had fallen on the floor.
It was a famous psychiatric book, and Li Sheng had seen it on Lu Li's bookshelf.
...he must have known.
Taking off his coat and covering Shuo Xun's body, Li Sheng looked away from his sleeping face, took out his computer and quickly went to work.
