guest of honor

"Boss Ye, Young Master Qin has taken everything you sent. But..."

Ye Li propped his chin with one hand, and absently folded the glasses frame with the other hand: "Is he not happy with the collection?"

"That's not true, Young Master Qin is very happy." The driver quickly denied, picking up the low-key and luxurious paper bag in his left hand, "But he asked me to give this to you again."

Ye Li glanced at it in surprise, stepped forward and took out a Patek Philippe from the paper bag, which was no worse than the car he sent over.

The wonderful thing is that Ye Li happened to know this watch, and it was the finished product of the pattern sent to Ye Jingsheng last month.If he knew that the things were in his hands now, Ye Jingsheng's expression would definitely be grim.

Ye Li chuckled, took off the watch on his wrist and threw it into a paper bag, then put on the gift Qin Mu "sent" to him, and asked casually, "Where does Qin Mu live now?"

"Li Gongdi No. [-]."

"Okay." Ye Li planned to go tonight to have a sincere talk with Qin Mu.

From his point of view, Qin Mu also knew his own importance, so he was up for grabs.However, under the serial offensive of the Ye family father and son, the child was still unmoved, and it was unknown whether he knew what the inheritance Qin Wenchuan left to him represented.

The 10% shares made him a favorite, and he was thrown on the charcoal stove to roast.If Qin Mu doesn't take sides before the shareholders' meeting next month, he can only watch his shares get diluted.

Ye Li was sure that he could move his heart, but it was a pity that he went there by accident. As soon as the car drove into Li Gongdi, he saw a Lamborghini with its hood open, and the person he was going to meet was sitting in the co-pilot.

The driver had half his arm on the window, his gray hair blown up by the wind, and a pair of mirrors on his nose.Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, his age should be similar to Qin Mu's, which was the age when he was the most ignorant and indulgent.It's just that Qin Mu looked more restrained than the driver, his hair was still black, but he unbuttoned two more shirt buttons on his chest.He lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and there was no high smile on his face.

The moment the two cars passed by, Ye Li felt Qin Mu glance into his car window.But the gap was too short, not enough for either of them to stop.

Ye Li turned around in front of him, not thinking about whether to disturb Qin Mu's party's "elegant interest", so he fell behind the Lamborghini for the time being, and followed not too far or too close.

The destination is a high-end community.As far as Ye Li knew, there was a club hidden inside, but Lamborghini finally stopped the car in front of the townhouse next to the club. Qin Mu and Grandma Hui just opened the door, and three or four men and women came out of the villa. It rushed out, pulled them and pushed them in.

Could this be some NP scene?Ye Li frowned and thought.

He has Qin Mu's contact information in his phone.Ye Li stroked the cold phone case with his index finger, but finally decided to leave it alone.At this time, a wine-red trot rushed over.Seeing that he was about to hit his SUV, he suddenly drifted into the parking space next to him in a thrilling manner.

A man and a woman were picked out of the car, dressed very coolly in the cold winter months.The bare-legged girl took the boy's arm, eager to pull him into the villa, but the boy pushed him away.

"What's the hurry!" Ye Li sat in the car door, vaguely heard the boy say, "I'll take a sip before I go in!"

Then, he saw the boy take out a pack of cigarette papers from his pocket, smooth out the shredded tobacco skillfully and pinch it tightly.The girl stared dissatisfiedly, then suddenly smiled mysteriously, took advantage of the boy's wrist before rolling the filter, and said coquettishly, "What's the point of you smoking so much?"

The boy raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you bring that thing here?"

The girl took out a small transparent box from the fur coat, squeezed out some grass leaves and rubbed them carefully into the shredded tobacco, and helped the boy roll the filter tip to his lips: "Okay, let's smoke."

The hand-rolled cigarette was lit immediately, and there were one or two misty wisps of smoke in the dark night.The boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then brought it to the girl's mouth and watched her suck it with a smile.

The cigarette smoked very quickly, but within three to five minutes, Ye Li sat quietly in the car window the whole time, watching the smoke gradually shorten. disappeared through the door.

Ye Li pushed open the car door, but there was still a faint smoke in the air.He is not familiar with this smell, but he has smelled it a few times on Dam Square in Amsterdam, and he will never forget it in his life.

Yes □□.

When the matter developed to this point, Ye Li had to take care of it.He took out his mobile phone and called Qin Mu, the line was busy, obviously on purpose.Ye Li raised his head to look at the villa, the first and second floors were brightly lit, and there was no Qin Mu in the floor-to-ceiling windows; the rooms on the third floor were drawn with thick velvet curtains, deliberately avoiding peeps from any angle.

Ye Li didn't hesitate any longer, strode forward and knocked on the door knocker.

It was the girl who was smoking a "cigarette" outside the door that opened the door. Seeing him startled, she looked him up and down quickly and smiled coquettishly, "Handsome guy, who brought you here? I'll ask him to pick you up!"

Ye Li glanced at the crowd dancing wildly behind the girl: "Where's Qin Mu? Call him over."

The girl's expression changed: "Brother Mu is on the third floor... He can't bring someone here tonight, who are you looking for?"

"I'm his uncle, you let him come to see me."

The girl sneered, obviously not believing: "You are his uncle? Don't tease me, handsome guy, you are so good-looking and tender, it's almost as good as his girlfriend."

While she was talking, she reached out her hand to touch Ye Li's face, but he turned sideways to hide her.The girl saw that there was no smile on his face, his beautiful eyes were staring at her, and his contemptuous eyes seemed to be looking at a ball of garbage.

The cold wind suddenly swept into her chest, the girl regained consciousness in an instant, turned her head and shouted into the room: "Brother Haoyu! This man said he is here to find Brother Mu!"

As she shouted, she grabbed Ye Li's arm in a panic to prevent him from getting away.Dan Kouhong's nails got stuck in the flesh, and it hurt a little, but Ye Li didn't care about her, and walked sideways into the door.

"What are you doing—" the girl's screaming voice froze when she saw the person coming, she let go of her hand and called timidly, "Brother Haoyu, it's him!"

□□The sunglasses have been taken off, and the boy with grandma gray hair is Qin Mugang's driver.His brows are not vicious, his eyes are round, but his manner of speaking is very tough: "Who are you, who sent you here?"

Ye Li said: "You are Luo Haoyu, right?"

Before Luo Haoyu could speak again, Ye Li asked again: "Qin Mu is upstairs with your brother? Tell him to come down."

This time Luo Haoyu was really stunned, and he took a closer look at Ye Li's rigid Chester coat and straight trousers, and decided that neither he nor Luo Haoyuan knew him: "Are you impatient? Who the hell dare you come here to seek death!"

"You are the ones looking for death." Ye Li secretly said, separated Haoyu's hand that was pushing towards his chest with a palm, and his voice became more and more indifferent, "You go and tell Qin Mu. Follow me or not, it's up to him .”

Haoyu was furious and wanted to grab his collar again, but a business card got stuck between his fingers.He took it over and saw that there was a line of gold letters printed under the name "Ye Li": Executive President of Yuanyang Group.

Seeing the boy's sudden change of color, Ye Li raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

But after a while, Qin Mu walked down the stairs by himself, lowered his brows and called out, "Uncle."

The girl with red nails who was still standing beside her was taken aback, glanced secretly at Ye Li again, and ran back to the living room before Qin Mu stepped forward.

Qin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he raised his eyes to face Ye Li, he smiled impeccably.Before Ye Li could ask, he answered by himself: "A group of classmates came here to throw a party, and there was a lot of noise. Is there something important that uncle is going to my house today?"

Sure enough, Qin Mu recognized Li Gongdi's car with his light glance.But this is not such a surprising thing, Ye Li didn't bother to talk to him: "House party? Your classmates brought drugs here, and if you are caught by the police, you are gathering people to take drugs."

Qin Mu's eyes tightened, and his voice was so cold that there was no hypocrisy: "Who brought it?"

Ye Li raised his chin: "It's the girl who just went in."

Qin Mu hesitated for three seconds, didn't ask any more questions, just stared at Ye Li's eyes without blinking.Ye Li looked back at him calmly, without further explaining, he took half a step back and walked outside the door.

"I see." Qin Mu picked up the black coat hanging from the entrance and put it on himself, lowered his head and began to change his shoes. In less than half a minute, he had already walked out with Ye Li's arm "Uncle, I didn't drive here today, can I trouble you to take me home?"

Ye Li subconsciously wanted to avoid being approached by strangers, but Qin Mu held his arm very firmly, and he didn't shake it off after one shake, so he felt embarrassed to shake him a second time.He was almost held hostage by Qin Mu and walked towards his SUV. He couldn't help being a little angry, and mocked: "Isn't Luo Haoyuan still waiting for you upstairs? Is it appropriate to leave without saying hello to him?"

The two had already reached the car door.Qin Mu took a steady look at him, he was clearly just a child, but his eyes were like knives in the night wind: "Let's talk in the car, uncle."

The black car merged into the brightly lit traffic.Ye Li held the steering wheel, while Qin Mu sat on the co-pilot without saying a word and looked ahead.At this moment, two police cars roared past in the opposite lane, and the red and blue police lights illuminated half of Qin Mu's face. He subconsciously looked back in the direction in which the police cars disappeared.

Ye Li suddenly asked: "Do you think the police are after you?"

When Qin Mu turned his head, his gaze stayed on Ye Li's clean and fair side face for a moment: "That villa is full of cameras, Luo Haoyuan and Haoyu must have left. As for the people left, it depends on fate. "

He suddenly turned around, stared straight at Ye Li, and said with a smile: "I have to thank you today, Uncle."

Ye Li snorted, noncommittal.

Qin Mu asked: "How did you know that the girl was wearing diaper?"

Ye Li didn't bother to look at him, turned the steering wheel and drove down the loop: "I happened to see her smoking with a boy outside the villa, and I smelled it."

Qin Mu asked again: "What about Luo Haoyuan, how do you know that the person I met was him?"

This is what Ye Li guessed.

Three months have passed since the coming-of-age ceremony. Although he didn't take the initiative to approach Qin Mu, the information he collected filled three file folders.Among the people who had the closest contact with him were the Luo brothers.

Today, as soon as the girl yelled "Brother Haoyu", he guessed who it was, and if he cheated again, he would see the truth.

Ye Li said frankly: "I guess."

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes, and moved closer to Ye Li: "You lied to me?"

This is not so much, after all, Luo Haoyu's expression at that time had already betrayed everything.Ye Li glanced at him playfully, and was unmoved by Qin Mu's gloomy gaze: "Everyone depends on their ability. Having said that, Luo Haoyu is not a stern-mouthed pretense, so be careful in the future."

When the words fell to the ground, Ye Li realized that he had unconsciously taught Qin Mu a few words.But Qin Mu didn't have a fit, he stared at him for a while, fell back into the armchair, and lazily said: "That's true. But compared to his elder brother, Haoyu, who has no city, is much closer It's also thanks to Luo Haoyuan for using him as an eyeball, tsk tsk."

Ye Li could hear some different emotions from this understatement: "Do you envy him?"

"Of course I'm envious." Qin Mu admitted generously, "I lost my father overnight, and my mother went to Europe in the name of recuperating, leaving me alone to face these tigers, leopards and wolves... Uncle, don't you think I'm not Pitiful?"

Ye Li secretly wondered who the "tigers, leopards and wolves" he referred to, wouldn't he still be on his own?

"It's not pitiful." Ye Li didn't pay attention, and the words slipped out of his mouth, "There are still people who lost their mothers when they were young, I'm afraid..."

Staring at the front window, he swallowed his words.

But Qin Mu refused to let it go, and suddenly became interested, sat up straight and asked: "What are you afraid of?"

Ye Li tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and said calmly, "I'm afraid that one day I will suddenly suffer from the same disease as my mother."

Qin Mu continued to ask, "Whose story is this?"

"A friend." Ye Li stopped the car without looking at Qin Mu, "You're home, get out of the car."

Qin Mu pushed open the car door obediently, and jumped out of the car with one long leg.But just when Ye Li was about to start the accelerator again, Qin Mu came back from the front of the car and opened the door of the cockpit directly: "Uncle, you are here, why don't you come in and sit for a while? Come over this evening , is it just to follow me to meet Luo Haoyuan?"

"You think too much." Ye Li thought it was funny, it's hard for Qin Mu to think so much about himself.

Qin Mu said reluctantly, turned sideways and put his hand on the frame of the car, and looked at Ye Li with a smile: "Come and sit at home for a while, uncle. Can't we talk about it?"

Apart from Qin Mu, no one else lives in the huge No. [-] Ligongdi.

As soon as he got home, Qin Mu went directly to the kitchen to make two cups of tea before he could change his clothes. When he came out, his shirt buttons had been fastened again.

Ye Li wanted to take the teacup, but before he could say any polite words, Qin Mu shrank his hand away from his fingertips: "Uncle, have you eaten yet?"

He left work early and rushed to Li Gongdi, and he hasn't had dinner yet.When Qin Mu mentioned this, Ye Li felt a little hungry in a trance: "Not yet."

Qin Mu smiled knowingly, with a false apology in his dark pupils.He put the teacup on the coffee table, turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll make you some, it's not good to drink tea on an empty stomach."

... Then what kind of Biluochun are you soaking in? Do you want to smell the fragrance for me?Ye Li looked at his back gloomyly, his hand was already on the handle of the teacup.I didn't drink any water along the way just now, and I was indeed a little thirsty.

"There are snacks under the coffee table, you can take whatever you want."

After saying the last sentence, Qin Mu's back disappeared behind the kitchen door.Within a quarter of an hour, the smell of food lingered in the living room.

Qin Mu said that when he was cooking for him, Ye Li thought two bowls of noodles were great.He himself is a person who can't make a fire to cook, and the rice cooker and oven are the most utilized in the kitchen with pots, pans and pans in the apartment.Qin Mu is only a half-grown child, when he served the three dishes and one soup on the table, it seemed like another cook in Ye Li's heart.

Qin Mu didn't ask him why he was so self-conscious, and couldn't wait for him to call, so he automatically sat at the head of the table, and gave Ye Li a pair of chopsticks in his hand: "I forgot to ask you what taboos, let's eat something."

This was originally just a polite word, Qin Mu didn't intend to please Ye Li with a meal, after all, he is the one holding the treasure now.But when he saw Ye Li picking out all the coriander, garlic, ginger, and spring onion in the bowl, Qin Mu lost his mind.

Picking up a piece of green pepper with the tip of his chopsticks, he threw it to the side of the plate in distaste, Ye Li's fussy look almost put the rice in his mouth one by one.While picking and picking with his chopsticks, he asked absently, "You organized that event tonight?"

Qin Mu put down his chopsticks: "No, it's Luo Haoyu's Zhang Luo."

"Who are the people who went there?"

"Most are students from E University, and some are young models and actors in the society." Qin Mu said thoughtfully, "I have a little impression of the woman who brought things in. She is a new artist signed by Daishan Culture."

"I'll pretend I didn't see what happened tonight, but you have to find out for yourself." Ye Li looked at Qin Mu's side face, the high nose bridge and curly eyelashes were particularly delicate, and the eyes drooped obediently to avoid contact with him. Looking at each other, it looks like he is just a student.He reminded him a few more words, so he didn't know if Qin Mu could recognize his good intentions: "There is no wind, no waves, dirty things will not appear inexplicably, and the police cannot fall from the sky for no reason..."

Qin Mu suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at him, his scrutiny made Ye Li's words stagnate, and then he remembered Qin Mu's deliberate alienation from himself these days: "You don't doubt that I called the police, do you?"

"Of course not." Qin Mu replied quickly, leaning forward slightly with his elbows on the edge of the table, and looked at him seriously, "Uncle, this is for my own good, I know it can't be you."

Hearing his words with certainty, Ye Li was surprised and said: "You know it in your heart?"

Qin Mu smiled: "It's nothing more than those few people in the company. They hope that something will happen to me every day."

An inadvertent joke pierced Ye Li's chest like a sharp and cold needle, it was not enough to cause pain, but it made him feel like a stick in his throat for an instant.After all, he had this feeling of helplessness before: "Do you want to consider coming to Yuanyang for an internship for a period of time? I can take you."

The purpose of coming to Qin Mu today was to persuade him to follow him, but now he said it with more sincerity.

Qin Mu blinked and laughed loudly: "Uncle, your tone of voice is exactly the same as your father's."

Ye Li frowned.Once Ye Jingsheng was mentioned, it was difficult for him to control his emotions.Although it was expected that Ye Jingsheng would invite Qin Mu to join Yuanyang, but judging from Qin Mu's attitude, he must have declined.Ye Jingsheng worked so hard to win Qin Mu over for three months, so why did he think that he could win Qin Mu over?

Frowning was only a momentary reaction, Ye Li smiled and looked away from Qin Mu: "You should think about it carefully, don't worry."

Qin Mu propped his chin, as if he really started to think about the internship proposal, but actually he kept looking at Ye Li from the corner of his eye.The man didn't look like he was seven years older than him at all, and his figure was even a little thin after taking off his suit and windbreaker.The broken hair hanging between the eyebrows set off the delicate and fair skin, and the outline of the facial features had a kind of innocence and elegance.

His uncle is really good-looking.

It's a pity that these people are all equally insidious and cunning.

Now Ye Li needs him to have the capital to fight Ye Jingsheng; but looking back at Ye Jingsheng, after using him to suppress Ye Li for five or ten years, who else can leave that huge legacy to?

Qin Mu was not naive enough to believe Ye Jingsheng's words, and laughed off the argument of "if you do well, I will hand over Yuanyang to you".Now Daishan culture is a mess, he just needs to avoid the backyard being caught on fire, how can he care about plotting Ye Jingsheng's ambitious hegemony?This piece of cake was too big, but he didn't dare to eat it; Ye Jingsheng was too kind to him, only bigger intentions to match it.

Ye Li, on the other hand, has left him alone for three months since the coming-of-age ceremony, but he happened to save him tonight.Who can be sure that there are no black-box deals?

However, Qin Mu himself knew in his heart that there was not much time left for him.
