go with the wind

When Li Xin returned to Cao's house, he sat alone in the living room. After sitting for a while, he felt really desolate, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Zhao Yue probably already knew from the bodyguards that Cao Yiran abandoned Li Xin and took Bai Shu away, but for such a son, she really didn't know how to teach him a lesson, so she just let him go. The dinner party will be late to go home, but in order to appease Li Xin, she took the time to call Li Xin during dinner. She pretended not to know what stupid things Cao Yiran did that day, just asking some questions Li Xin's thoughts on shopping in the mall today, and she said some caring things about asking her to eat well, rest well, and tell the housekeeper everything she needs. Li Xin heard that she cared for him very much, although he knew that it was all because he was pregnant with her family. The grandson, however, still suddenly felt sore because of this, and she was really happy to treat Zhao Yue as a mother. She wanted to expose Cao Yiran's evil deeds several times, but in the end she held back and said nothing, after all , Zhao Yue is Cao Yiran's biological mother, not her own. Even if Zhao Yue scolds and beats Cao Yiran, it will not change the fact that Zhao Yue will still stand by her son's side. In a bad situation, it is certain that Cao Yiran hates him, and maybe Zhao Yue will also have a grudge against him in his heart.

After talking on the phone with Zhao Yue, Li Xin was at a loss for a while, and began to feel sorry for himself and feel that his life was miserable. After having a child, now I can't even play my favorite game, and I really don't even have the last bit of spiritual sustenance. Looking at Cao Yiran again, she really feels cold in her heart, and she can't help but think of Guan Zhi again. She said, since there is no love, then spend a lot of his money.

Thinking of spending money, she cheered up a little, and took out a lot of things from the big purchases to show on her body, but because she had a big belly and fat people, she couldn't wear them, so she always bought the size of her previous figure. After gesticulating for a while, staring at his stomach again, he began to think about whether he would marry Cao Yiran or not. He would ask for a large sum of money from their family, and he would live his life as he wanted in the future, without having to go home again, and without being beaten and scolded by his father. , You don’t need to look at the smiling face of your stepmother hiding a needle in the cotton, and you don’t need to accept the harassment from your little sister.

When she thought of this, she thought it was quite feasible, but she was just afraid that her father would not let her do it, and she couldn't negotiate with Cao Yiran's mother, so maybe it would be better to talk to Cao Yiran first, after all Cao Yiran is a very badass, but he doesn't seem to care about money that much. If he can use money to get rid of himself, he will definitely do so.

Li Xin felt that he had come to his senses, and found out that he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was already going to be a mother, and maybe he would never be able to fall in love with others again.

She made a decision, and only waited for Cao Yiran to come back and talk to Cao Yiran about it. At the beginning, there was probably a faint expectation—maybe Cao Yiran would suddenly regret what she had done to herself after hearing her decisive words. He is willing to change his mind.However, she waited all night, but Cao Yiran didn't come back at all, and the next day, Cao Yiran still didn't come back. In the evening, Zhao Yue stopped talking to her, she thought Zhao Yue was going to say something , but in the end Zhao Yue didn't say anything.Cao Yiran still didn't come back.

After a few more days, she, who has never paid attention to the news and current affairs, suddenly changed the channel to the news channel. After hearing the news broadcast, she understood why Zhao Yue hesitated to talk to her a few days ago. The servants at home also looked at her with a helpful expression.

—— "Major tax evasion case of Li's Chongsheng Group" and "Suspected smuggling case of Li's Chongsheng Group".

Li Xin watched in a daze. Although she felt that the incident in her father's group company had nothing to do with her, she still felt very at a loss when she saw the scene of the company being inspected by the procuratorate on TV.

It's not that she is so stupid that she doesn't understand anything. She doesn't know that something happened to her father, which is equivalent to something wrong with her backstage natal family. She also has no status at all, not to mention Cao Yiran doesn't like her, even hates her.

This Spring Festival, the most troublesome thing is the case of Li Chongsheng Group. Because of this case, the stock of Chongsheng Group fell to the lowest point, the group company was fined a huge amount, and the chairman Li Yaomin was invited to jail. There was another deficit in the group due to the transfer of funds, and the smuggling case was still under investigation. Seeing that the Li Group's building was about to collapse, at this time, there were no helpers in need, but there were quite a few people who took advantage of the fire to rob. Raising money, several companies under the group were acquired at a low price, and at this time, no one who could turn the situation in charge of the overall situation appeared, and even a large number of talents were poached. Seeing that the situation was bad enough, it was revealed that the chairman of the group, Li Yaomin, had been working for many years. The previous murder of his wife, this is not conclusive evidence, but it is still the last straw that prevents Li Yaomin from turning over.

The Cao family’s New Year’s Eve is not very lively, because Zhao Yue is busy with company affairs and condolences to the employees, while Cao Junxian is even busier, running around without touching the ground, not to mention caring for people of all walks of life and nationalities, there are many There are few social occasions to run. In previous years, Cao Yiran basically spent the Chinese New Year at his grandparents' house. This year is no exception, but Li Xin was also taken to Zhao's house for a few days. Everyone never said anything in front of Li Xin. When mentioning her family affairs, Cao Yiran only asked her if she wanted to go back to see her father. Li Xin shook her head without thinking. She didn't know why. Father, she knew that her father was always pretentious and fierce in front of her, and seeing his downcast appearance by herself, he didn't know how to hate herself, maybe he would scold him for being useless, scolding himself for not being a boy, and not being able to help him .So, she refused to go.

When the Li family was prosperous before, she wanted to tell Cao Yiran not to marry him, as long as he gave her money, she would give birth to his child, but now that something happened to the Li family, it was hard for her to say it, because She said that she felt that she couldn't hold her head up, so she could only keep silent.

She was silent, and the Cao and Zhao families were also silent. Although the two families treated her no differently than before, they still cared for her and asked her about her health. The doctor came to check him up regularly, and the nutritionist also gave him conditioning. There are even teachers who specialize in prenatal education for her... the treatment gets better and better as her belly grows bigger, and everyone gives her a considerable amount of red envelopes. Zhao Yue even gave her two beautifully carved red envelopes The Lunar New Year gold bars, on the other hand, Cao Yiran, did not have this treatment.However, Cao and Zhao's elders, who used to intend to get the two engaged before the child was born, did not mention this matter after the Li family's accident. They just told her to relax and take care of herself.

It's not that Li Xin is so stupid that she can't understand the situation. She thought that maybe after she gave birth to the child, she might be nothing in the eyes of the Cao and Zhao families.

She is just a little girl, she didn't think about dignity or indignity before, she thought that being able to spend money, her father not caring about herself, not going to school, just playing as she wanted, was the best life, everything is fine now, in line with the previous ideals. The definition of the best life, but she can't be happy anymore, she doesn't want herself to be nothing in Cao Yiran's eyes, just a childbearing tool, and Cao Yiran doesn't even want the child in her belly.

Li Xin has been depressed during this period, and because of the mental depression and the noisy child in her stomach, she often can't sleep well, so her expression is always a little haggard. Cao Yiran saw that, in fact, she also felt guilty mood.

This year's weather was abnormal. During the Spring Festival, it was quite hot, with the highest temperature reaching more than [-] degrees. There were people wearing down jackets and thick sweaters on the street, and there were also fashionable and beautiful women who were already wearing single shirts and skirts.

The sun was shining outside the house, and the plum blossoms in the garden were full of fragrance, and several crabapple species of different varieties were also competing for beauty, and there was even a tall crabapple blooming like a cherry blossom in full swing, like a haze, so beautiful.

Li Xin was sitting under this crabapple tree basking in the sun, Cao Yiran saw her sitting on a chair at the upstairs window, wearing loose clothes, her stomach was already very obvious, her hands were lightly supporting her stomach, her long hair was hanging down, a little scattered On the back of the chair, some fell on the shoulders and chest. She was still fat some time ago, but she actually lost a little weight during this period, and her body became thinner, so her belly became more conspicuous.

She closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. Cao Yiran turned and left the window, and ran downstairs, just in time to meet the nanny who was holding a small square blanket and going to give Li Xin a body. He didn't even think about it. Thinking about it, I took the blanket from the nurse and walked slowly into the garden.

This garden can also be described as blooming everywhere, but Cao Yiran doesn't have Du Liniang's feelings. Also like a fairy, but her frowning added a touch of melancholy to everything. Cao Yiran stood aside and looked at her for a while. For some reason, he felt a little guilty for her in his heart. On the legs and stomach, at this moment Li Xin opened her eyes and looked at Cao Yiran. She didn't have much expression on her face, she just watched indifferently.

Cao Yiran was at a loss when she looked at her. He could play the role of a considerate lover in front of other women, but he didn't know what to do with the person who really cared about him. In the end, he just walked forward in a little embarrassment. Passing the blanket to Li Xin, he said, "Although there is sun, it is still a little cold due to the wind, you can take it."

Li Xin took it silently and took it. Cao Yiran stood under the tall tree and looked at the pink flowers on the top of the tree. Li Xin thought he was going to leave after standing for a while, but Cao Yiran didn't leave. He leaned against the tree trunk and became dazed.

It was Li Xin who spoke first and asked him, "You know about my father, right?"

Cao Yiran looked at Li Xin, maybe because the sun was too bright, he narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I know."

Li Xin grabbed the blanket on her lap and stomach. Her father was not a good father, but he was not good at all. It was still her father. When her father was the chairman of the board, she She never wanted to think about him, but now that he was down and out, she had to think about him, and felt that no matter how bad her father was, he was still her backing, even though it was only a nominal backing.

She had to care about him, "how is he doing now, do you know?"

Cao Yiran did not have his usual indifferent and lazy attitude, but had a solemn look on his face. The sun shines on his face through the flowers swayed by the wind, mottled and mottled, like a scroll of time flowing, he bowed his head Said in a low voice, "He killed your mother, don't you hate him?" The voice was soft, but it really contained concern for Li Xin, but this concern seemed to be melted in the sun and blown in the wind.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to see the sunshine through the flower branches, his expression was slightly confused, "Hate him? He and my mother don't care about me, I don't know..."

Cao Yiran was silent for a while, and then said, "He is the chairman after all, and he has so many old friends, and he has money, and if he has money, he will have a good lawyer. No matter how bad the situation is, it will not be too bad. Don't worry."

Only then did Li Xin feel relieved, said "Oh" softly, and asked again, "Then...how about my cousin, stepmother, and little sister?"

Cao Yiran always felt that there was something wrong with Li Xin at this time, but he didn't understand what was wrong, so he just answered her, "Li Wei? He didn't know where he went, and your stepmother didn't listen. Got the news. Is your little sister the child born to your stepmother? I don’t know about this.”

Originally, Li Wei had a good plan. He obtained a lot of evidence of Li Yaomin's crime from Xiao Yuan, and used Cao Yiran, who was well-connected, cunning and cruel, to overthrow Li Yaomin. He wanted to take this opportunity to take his position in the company smoothly , and he recruited a group of people from the company early on, and transferred a lot of assets abroad. He wanted to follow Li Yaomin to dismount and turn the tide on his own. From then on, he would control the Li Group in his own hands. Unexpectedly, the first thing Cao Yiran did Instead of getting rid of Li Xin's natal family first, but to expose the matter between him and Xiao Yuan to Li Yaomin, Li Wei had no choice but to run away first to avoid Li Yaomin who wanted to get rid of him. Take away Xiao Yuan who knows a lot of inside information.

Waiting to go abroad to avoid for a while, has already missed the best time to take over the Li family. Even if he takes over, it will be a mess. He might as well continue to develop his original business, which can be regarded as opening up another vast world, rather than throwing money into it. Into the bottomless water, who cares what will happen to the Li Group in the end.However, thinking that it was his father who had put in so much effort, he was still a little unwilling, but after all, unwillingness was not as important as judging the situation.
