Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

When the police broke in the next morning, the elder brother was leisurely eating breakfast in his pajamas in his sea-view apartment. Hearing that Mu Xia had been burned to death, the elder brother was shocked for a moment, but he had no idea about taking himself back to the police. On the contrary, he acted very calmly when the agency accepted the investigation.

The eldest brother thinks he is absolutely innocent. Although he has troubled Mu Xia, he only taught him a little lesson, and made Mu Xia suffer a little. When he left, Mu Xia was alive and well. Yes, as for how the fire started later, it had nothing to do with him at all.In addition, the Lu family is very wealthy and powerful in Lidao, and as Lu's eldest son, the elder brother has always been unscrupulous. Even if he encounters a little trouble occasionally, he can always settle it smoothly through his father Lu Yuanteng's contacts and banknotes. When he left, he was still thinking about how to expose the true face of the little mother in front of his father next.

But soon, the eldest brother discovered that the situation had changed this time.A scandal at the birthday party was well known to everyone, and his anger was obvious. Afterwards, he sent someone to imprison the culprit, Mu Xia, in the basement, and the servants at home witnessed the whole process.The eldest brother took people to the hut where Mu Xia stayed. There were road surveillance videos to check along the way. Although no one knew what happened in that room, the chains that trapped Mu Xia had the fingerprints of his men. The eldest brother's clothes were also stained with Mu Xia's blood, and the most deadly thing was that two of his subordinates stood up and testified against the eldest brother during the recording of the statement, saying that the eldest brother ordered them to kill Mu Xia and destroy the body.

Combining all the above, there is a motive for committing the crime, time for committing the crime, witnesses, and physical evidence. The elder brother is simply unable to argue.Once convicted, waiting for him is likely to be life imprisonment.

When the news came, the family was in chaos again, and my father was so anxious and angry that he almost fainted on the spot.While consoling, the little mother hastily recruited Lu Xiaoyan back to discuss.Of course, she doesn't care whether her elder brother is dead or alive, and she doesn't have the kindness to help her elder brother collect evidence to get rid of the charges. At this time, it is only wise to put the mess on Lu Xiaoyan, so that even if the final result is not satisfactory , I can't blame her after all.

When his father was sick, his mother was wise and safe, and his elder sister was still barking and biting like a crazy beautiful bitch all day long. As the second son of the Lu family and the younger brother of the eldest brother, Lu Xiaoyan took on this responsibility without hesitation. .There are a lot of talents in the judiciary of Ridao. It is not difficult to find an experienced defense lawyer with outstanding results. It is even easier to find a lawyer who seems to have worked hard but can lose the case without any trace.

The big brother who thought he could hold him in the palm of his hand and control his life and destiny has now reduced to a pitiful little ant lying at his feet, who can easily be crushed to death as long as he moves the sole of his shoe a little.But he didn't want his elder brother to die too easily. If he didn't enjoy the scene of the enemy dying, what fun would there be in revenge?

The next day, Ling Xi didn't finish work until noon. When she got into the nanny's car, the small TV in the car was broadcasting instant news.He paralyzed to the position, closed his eyes and rested quietly, the female anchor's voice came to his ears intermittently: "Lu Xiaocheng, the eldest son of Lu Yuanteng, chairman of Tenghua International Group, was taken away early this morning for his involvement in a murder case. According to the investigation, the deceased, Mu Xia, was a young singer. It is reported that he had a close relationship with the two sons of the Lu family before. The police have not released any more information, and we will send people to continue to follow up the report..."

Hearing Mu Xia's name, Ling Xi suddenly opened his eyes, thinking that he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations, but there was a photo of Mu Xia on the screen, and he was very familiar with that face.Ling Xi was somewhat taken aback, but in just a few scenes, so many things had already happened around him, right and wrong, life and death were even more complicated and bizarre than the plot of the movie.Reminiscent of what Lu Xiaoyan said before, it was not just casual talk... He began to feel a little flustered, did Mu Xia's death have anything to do with Lu Xiaoyan?If so, will something happen to Lu Xiaoyan?

Ling Xi rummaged all over his body for the phone, but after searching for a long time, there were no pockets. Then he remembered that he put the phone in the backpack on the back seat last night before the filming started. When he hurried to the back seat, he took out the phone and prepared to call When it was time for Lu Xiaoyan, the voice of the female anchor came again: "Speaking of the Lu family, there is another piece of news recently that I heard that the second son of Tenghua International, Lu Xiaoyan, and the eldest lady of Jinding Records, Sheng Kuang, are about to get engaged. It can be regarded as a powerful alliance in the entertainment industry. Although this marriage inevitably involves many factors such as business and interests, the two of them are indeed talented and beautiful, so we also send our blessings in advance..."

Ling Xi hung her hand above the dial key, stood still for a few seconds, and then slowly put down the phone.He also couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment. For Lu Xiaoyan, he always longed for it accompanied by disappointment, resisted and couldn't help but be attracted. He obviously couldn't see it clearly, but he always subconsciously trusted and respected him.He was simply a more hopeless addict than Cheng Che, once he was poisoned by Lu Xiaoyan, there was no way to quit it no matter what.

After waiting for a long time, the car still didn't start. Ling Xi looked up, and it turned out that Jin Shi, who was tall and unsmiling, was also watching this TV program.Perhaps it is because of the low volume, the golden stone neck is slightly protruding, the body is leaning forward, and the expression is extremely focused. The whole picture looks inexplicably funny.

Ling Xi looked at it for a while, then silently turned her face away, and pulled the blanket to cover herself with her head and body.At this moment, the gold and stone he saw in his eyes were not his own appearance?I'm afraid I'm even more ridiculous than Jinshi...

It's rare that he doesn't arrange work at night. Ling Xi originally planned to sleep well at home to supplement the sleep he owed these days, but he didn't feel sleepy at all when he lay on the bed after taking a bath. The more he tried to hypnotize himself, the more confusion.Cheng Che, Mu Xia, Lu Xiaoyan, Sheng Kuang, related, irrelevant... Faces of each other kept coming and going before his eyes.

Forced to be helpless, he had no choice but to get up and run to the kitchen barefoot, drank half a bottle of foreign wine in one breath, and then returned to the bed and covered himself with a quilt to force himself to close his eyes and remain still. Just when she was about to fall asleep, she was awakened by a knock on the door. When she opened the door, Lu Xiaoyan was standing outside.

There was faint excitement between Lu Xiaoyan's eyebrows, when he saw Ling Xi he couldn't help but pull him away: "Come on, come with me to dinner."

For Lu Xiaoyan, Ling Xi has always been his personal property, now that he has let go of his worries, let's just be together recklessly.Anyway, what should happen has already happened in their previous life, there is no need to repeat those tedious and hypocritical processes.

Ling Xi was unprepared: "I don't want to..."

Before he could tell the reason for his refusal, Lu Xiaoyan had already helped him take the coat and put it on his shoulders: "How about going to eat Thai food? It's always like that every time. I feel tired of thinking about it. I know a Michelin-starred restaurant." Samsung, seems to be very good."

Ling Xi moved his mouth, but unfortunately he couldn't get in the words, finally he sighed helplessly, and followed Lu Xiaoyan out of the house silently.In fact, he also wanted to ask Lu Xiaoyan something, but he felt that it was meaningless to ask, because no matter what the answer was, he could only follow his own heart and carry on with his life day by day.

Opposite the Thai restaurant is a bridal shop. Inside the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, a young couple is trying on the dress. The bride’s skirt is very large. When she turned around, she accidentally entangled herself. The groom bent down while smiling. Go to help pull it.After fiddling for a while, the dress finally returned to normal. When the groom got up, the bride quickly kissed him on the cheek. The groom pretended to be disgusted and raised his hand to wipe it, but the corners of his mouth could not hide a shy and happy smile. The shopping guide girls next to her also covered their lips and laughed... If those two faces were replaced by Lu Xiaoyan and Sheng Kuang, what would it be like?

Ling Xi was a little engrossed, and had already reached the door of the restaurant before he knew it. Lu Xiaoyan kindly helped him open the door, but he didn't notice that when he turned his head, he hit the door frame with a "bang".

Lu Xiaoyan was taken aback: "What's the use of having such big eyes! What are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything..." Ling Xi rubbed his forehead stupidly for a while, then suddenly asked Lu Xiaoyan, "Sister Sheng Kuang... are you okay?"

Lu Xiaoyan was confused by the question: "Sheng Kuang? You should know better than me, she is half your boss."

"I mean..." Ling Xi pursed the corners of her lips in frustration, and was thinking about how to speak, when she saw Lu Xiaoyan waving his hands at him indiscriminately, and quickly ran across the street.

The dessert shop next to the bridal shop is holding an event. Someone is wearing a cartoon doll costume and making rainbow cotton candy on the spot outside the shop. The children passing by are all attracted, and they drag their parents to surround it together. The sales booth Soon there was a long queue.

Lu Xiaoyan wandered around twice, not intending to queue up according to the rules, he spotted a young mother who had just bought candy for her child, and leaned over to mutter what she said, which made the young mother nod repeatedly, Then he took out a handful of banknotes from his wallet, exchanged the box of rainbow cotton candy sprinkled with gold leaf in the child's hand, ran back holding it all the way, and stuffed the box into Ling Xi's hand: "Take it."

Ling Xi foolishly looked at Lu Xiaoyan, then at the candy in his hand: "What is this?"

Lu Xiaoyan winked at him: "Eat as much as you like, kid, don't be afraid, this restaurant has few people and the light is dark, no one should recognize you."

It turned out that Lu Xiaoyan thought that he was fascinated by watching people making cotton candy before, so he accidentally bumped into the store door. When he realized this ridiculous oolong, Ling Xi couldn't help but lowered his head and smiled wryly at himself.This is his rare smile in the past few days, but unfortunately it is not good-looking.

Lu Xiaoyan had just fought a beautiful battle, so he was naturally in a good mood, and he ate the whole meal with great appetite.Ling Xi didn't have much appetite, nor was he interested in speaking. Most of the time, he was holding his chopsticks and looking at the food on the plate in a daze.

But Lu Xiaoyan didn't pay much attention to these things. Ever since they met in the previous life, Ling Xi has always been in this stagnant state. He has long been used to the calmness of falling asleep when the two get along, and never felt anything wrong. .

After dinner, Lu Xiaoyan went to pick up the car and asked Ling Xi to wait for him at the door.Ling Xi stood for a while, and found that the coat had been left in the dining room, so she hurried back to get it.At the top of the stairs, he saw a familiar figure coming out of the bathroom and turning into the box, it was Ye Ming.It was such a coincidence that Ye Ming also ate at the same restaurant.

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should go over to say hello.During this period of time, Ye Ming's attitude has gradually changed. He invited him to Ye Yitong's concert, gave him a guitar, occasionally asked about his itinerary, cared about his health, and affirmed his progress in music. He watched all these silently, and tried to respond countless times, but every time the words came to his lips, he was always ashamed to speak.

Even if there is a blood relationship, time will push people away. Many years have passed, and he has long forgotten how to get along with his "father".Ling Xi took a few deep breaths and secretly encouraged herself. In fact, as long as the first step is successfully taken, many things will become very easy in the future. Just a short sentence of "such a coincidence", or a simple "hello", or Just nodding and smiling is enough.

Approaching the door of the box, Ling Xi slowed down unconsciously. He was a little nervous and his heart beat faster, feeling as if he was about to step on a strange stage and perform a performance with an unknown result.

The door of the box was not closed tightly, and a woman could be vaguely heard talking in a nice voice: "I heard that Mr. Cai will go abroad the day after tomorrow, why not ask him to have dinner at home tomorrow night, if Tongtong can learn from him, We will definitely get better results in the next competition.”

The one who spoke was Xu Yuanyuan, Ye Ming's current wife, and in a sense, also Ling Xi's stepmother.Xu Yuanyuan likes cats, and the cats she raises are all greedy and mischievous. Before Ling Xi missed the cat and caused the cat to fall to his death, the two had been living in peace.Ling Xi remembers very clearly that at that time, through such a door, he heard Xu Yuanyuan say to Ye Ming: "Ling Xi is not a bad kid in nature, but his personality is too weird. Seeing that he can be so cruel to cats, I am very worried." Tongtong's safety." Not long after that, Ye Ming sent Ling Xi to his grandfather's house in the countryside, and he ignored her from then on, just like returning a defective product.

After many years, Ling Xi is still full of resistance to Xu Yuanyuan, even seeing her makes her feel uncomfortable.But just when he was about to turn around and leave, Ye Ming said: "Not tomorrow, I have an appointment with a private detective to talk about Ling Wei."

Hearing her mother's name, Ling Xi stopped again, and couldn't help pricking up her ears to listen secretly.

"It's Ling Wei again. If she wanted to appear hundreds of years ago, she would have appeared hundreds of years ago. Since she didn't appear, she just didn't want to find it for you." Xu Yuanyuan's tone was obviously displeased, "You'd better remember who is by your side The people you live with are the ones who will respect you and take care of you when you get old, don't put the cart before the horse and spend your thoughts on irrelevant people."

Ye Ming hurriedly put on a courteous tone and said: "Yes, yes, you are my most precious wife, and Tongtong is my most precious son. I also want you mother and son to live a better life. If you don't hurry up to settle Ling Xi's mother's affairs and make Ling Xi happy, how can you get money from Lu? You also know that the record industry is in a downturn, and it is very difficult to support a company."

Ling Xi's brows tightened, and her thinking paused for a while. The Ling Xi they were talking about was herself, right?Who is that surnamed Lu?Is it Lu Xiaoyan?Why can you ask Lu Xiaoyan for money if you make yourself happy?What was that money in exchange for?

Xu Yuanyuan didn't really get angry with Ye Ming: "Of course I know that you do everything for our family, I just remind you to be careful in everything. What is the relationship between Ling Xi and the surname Lu? Could it be really gay? I can’t see that your son has the ability to be next to such a big benefactor. But I warn you, remember to draw a clear line with them everywhere, if there is something dirty and smelly, our life will not be peaceful .”

Ye Ming laughed softly and said: "Using money to do things, acting on every occasion, how can you control so much. Whether it's Ling Wei or Ling Xi, this mother and child are carved out of the same mold. They never know how to behave. It's probably because of genetics. It's causing trouble."

"Do you know now? Wasn't it Ling Wei that you pursued so shamelessly back then? Even a son was born." Although they are old couples, there is inevitably a hint of jealousy in their tone when talking about their ex, Xu Yuanyuan.

Ye Ming exaggeratedly sighed: "When people are young and impulsive, who hasn't fallen a few times? What I regret the most in my life is getting together with Ling Wei, and the worst failure is getting involved with her. A son was born."

For a moment, Ling Xi was hot-headed, and he held the doorknob vigorously, almost rushing in, but soon he calmed down, let go of his hand silently, stepped back carefully one step, two steps, three steps, turned around and went downstairs , walked through the hall, and walked out of the restaurant door expressionlessly.

On the street in front of you, pedestrians and vehicles are constantly flowing, and everyone seems to have their own destination.Some people may go home to share family relationships with their wives and children, some may have fun with their friends, some may meet their lovers for a romantic night... across the street are row upon row of apartments, buildings, shops, tenement houses, and densely packed windows Colorful lights are reflected in it.The so-called happiness is probably that no matter when and where you are and what you want to do, you know with certainty that one of those lights must be on for you.

Ling Xi stood blankly on the side of the street for a moment, before leaving Lu Xiaoyan alone.After walking for a while, I found that the ridiculous box of rainbow marshmallows was still in my hand, and the coat I was supposed to go back to get was completely forgotten.

There is a lot of powdered sugar on the marshmallows. You don’t need to taste it to know that it must be very sweet. The powdered sugar is also dotted with little stars made of gold leaf, which is full of festive atmosphere.

For some reason, an outdoor program that I watched a long time ago suddenly appeared in Ling Xi's mind. The program told the audience that if they saw brightly colored mushrooms in the tropical rainforest, they must not eat them. They might be very poisonous. , if you see an oasis in the desert, don't rush there, because it is probably just an illusory mirage...
