Chapter 40： Why are you back?

Chapter 40 Why are you back?

Li Jiu made a bold guess when she thought of the necklace she saw at the auction.

Will…

Is this itself a game of the other side?

The purpose is for her to receive the task of retrieving the strange stone, and then—

Let the necklace appear before her.

Reminds her of the not so good and even **** past.

But…

It doesn’t make sense!

Li Jiu felt even more agitated.

A bunch of trivial clues are mixed together in my head, but I can't piece together a complete truth.

**** it!

Why does it take so much thought!

“Master Jiu, what should we do now?”

Li Jiu looked at it for a while and then got into the car again.

"Let's go back."

…

The night is as deep as water, and the bright moon is like a hook.

The old house of the Li family is surrounded by ancient trees and smells of rosin.

The old house is brightly lit.

“Grandpa, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

As soon as Li Jiu entered the door, he saw Mr. Li sitting there, sipping tea.

Hearing this, Mr. Li looked at her and raised his hand to call her over.

"came back?"

"Um."

Li Jiu took off his shoes and put on slippers, walked to Mr. Li and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

“Biluochun?”

"Um."

Li Jiu heard that Biluochun was Mrs. Li's favorite tea when she was alive. After she left, Mr. Li drank it often, thinking about seeing things and missing people.

“Grandpa, you stayed up late at night and came here to drink tea?”

Li Jiu felt that it was really hard to guess what this old man was thinking.

“Waiting for you?”

Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wait for me?"

“I heard from your father that you sneaked to the auction without an invitation?”

Li Jiu lowered his eyes and fiddled with his neatly manicured nails carelessly.

No wonder I didn’t see Li Hong and the others when the auction started.

After working on it for a long time, I came back early to complain.

It's really childish.

If you can't say it, then she will come back and sue her parents?

“Then grandpa thinks so too?”

Mr. Li put down his tea cup and adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Of course not."

"oh?"

"If you really want to go, just tell me directly. I also have the invitation letter, so why bother sneaking in."

Li Jiu's cold expression since he came back finally couldn't be maintained. She grinned lightly, with warmth in her eyes.

“Grandpa, if you dote on me so much, others will really be jealous.”

Mr. Li snorted coldly, "What's the use of me pampering you? You are just a heartless child. You went out to play for so many days and didn't even come back home. I think you have forgotten that you have a grandpa!" "

After saying that, he glared at Li Jiu.

Li Jiu clicked his tongue inwardly.

Listen!

This tone is too sour.

She chuckled and said, "How can I? No one would dare to forget you if I forget you."

“Hmph! Come on less.”

Li Jiu raised his eyebrows, yo! Are you really angry?

“Grandpa, am I doing this for you too?”

Mr. Li was going to laugh out loud at her ability to tell lies.

"You ran away for so many days without even making a phone call, and why are you doing it for me? I think you are crazy!"

Li Jiu touched his nose and felt a little guilty, but he still said seriously: "I really do it for your own good. My father doesn't want to see me. If I stay here, we will definitely quarrel every day and cause trouble. If you are upset, if you get angry and have no one to love me, who should I go to cry to?"

Mr. Li hummed twice. Although his face was still tense, his expression looked much better.

“Then why are you back tonight?”

“Don’t I miss you?”

In fact, she missed her big bed.

But for the sake of Mr. Li's health, she did not say this out loud.

“By the way, where are father and the others?”

When Li Jiu came back, she noticed with sharp eyes that there were no belongings of that family in the old house.

"gone."

"gone?"

Didn’t you say you would stay in the old house for a few days?

Why did you leave suddenly?

“Be driven away by me.”

"Why?"

Mr. Li's face suddenly turned cold, "Humph! We were so noisy as soon as we came back. What has become of this family! And Xiaoyun came back crying today. It seems that he confessed to someone else and was rejected? The other party's name is Lu, Lu. …”

Li Jiu kindly reminded: "Lu Shaoqi."

“Yes, Lu Shaoqi, the one from the old Lu family.”

Mr. Li sighed, "Today's young people are all too weak to bear it. Isn't it just that they were rejected once? They will die or die when they come back, which makes people feel upset."

Li Jiu thought to himself that if he was rejected in public, according to Li Yun's arrogant temperament, it would not be surprising that he would die or live.

“By the way, Xiaojiu, you are here today. What’s going on?”

Li Jiu said lightly: "Oh, my sister likes Second Young Master Lu, but Second Young Master Lu already has a girlfriend."

Mr. Li slammed the table hard and said, "Nonsense!"

“She already has a girlfriend, so what else can she do to express her love? Does she want to be the third party?”

Li Jiu explained to Li Yun considerately: "She didn't know that she had a girlfriend, otherwise she wouldn't be so sad."

Mr. Li's expression softened slightly, but he was still very angry.

"Why doesn't Xiaoyun understand that a strong person is not sweet? I heard that she has known the Lu family member for a long time. If it was really possible, they would have become friends by now."

Li Jiu took a sip of tea and said nothing.

With Li Yun’s IQ, I’m afraid he can’t figure this out.
