mother of beasts

No longer knowing what expression to use to describe his current mood, Li Jia stood silently on the spot without saying a word, while the words in the room continued, falling into his ears verbatim.

"The old man is really good. He is better than my own son. I am so old that I am confused..."

If the previous words were just blunt knives that cut his heart, then this sentence is a complete blasting energy cannon. With one blow, it will completely kill his last hope in seconds!

Treating him better than treating my own son...

What does it mean?

Li Jia only felt a rumble in his head, dizzy, and even his feet were a little unsteady.

He subconsciously wanted to ignore this sentence, but there are some things that the more people want to forget, the more they can't forget. The meaning of this sentence is too superficial, as long as anyone with a little brain can hear it, Li Jia is naturally the same.

It turned out that he was not his father's son at all, and his identity as Li Jia was originally a joke.

The waves of shocks made him unable to recover for a long time. Fortunately, he had endured enough blows outside a few days ago, and his will has been strengthened a lot. He almost calmed down after only being stunned for a while.

Of course, the so-called peace always exists only on the surface, and only he knows what is going on inside.

The voice inside gradually weakened, probably because the exercise was over, Li Jia didn't stay where he was, turned around and wanted to leave after regaining consciousness.

The roads that originally intersected behind him were clearly separated at this moment, forming a small corridor several people wide when Li Jia didn't notice.

Looking at the road in front of him, Li Jia suddenly looked back at the still closed door, took a deep breath, and then walked away quickly towards the road he came from.

I don't know who attracted him to come here. Maybe Li Pai's words just now were just the other party's conspiracy, but it is undeniable that those words did have a big impact on him. No matter what happens, he will keep his mind on it in the future.

Born in the doomsday, no one can be completely trusted, even family members, not to mention, those people may not be my family members...

And in another small room, the man in black and white clothes watched Li Jia leave intently, and then put his eyes on the woman at his feet: "Dan Ji, stay away from him in the future, he is not you Touched people."

The face of the woman under her feet turned pale with fright, she was as pale as a ghost, she lowered her head tremblingly and said, "...Yes, I understand."

The man nodded, thinking that Li Jia would actually appear in the harem, he couldn't help being a little angry, but when he remembered the play he had just specially shown to him, he suddenly felt happy.

Although there are some things that cannot be said directly now, they should be mentioned a little bit. Although he is confident that he will not be hurt too much, he cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents. Good memory too...

Gently sweeping across a room diagonally opposite, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head, and his tone was very relaxed: "Dan Ji, your guests here are getting more and more complicated, if you don't take good care of them , and there will be trouble..."

The voice was a little soft, floating in the air faintly, but it scared Dan Ji completely, knocked her head on the ground, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master Ying, don't worry, I will go to rectify the transaction situation in the harem right away, and I must give it to the young master of the Li family. An unforgettable memory!"

Hearing her swearing answer, the man smiled and turned around to hide in the darkness again.

After he walked for a long time, Dan Ji got up from the ground, stared at the quiet room for a long time, and then left with her face covered.

After Li Jia returned to the previous room, he sat motionless by the bed, and didn't think about going out, just sat there quietly, like a statue.

After a long time, Li Jia's body was almost stiff, the door was opened, and Li Pai came back.

He had already washed his body elsewhere, removed the strong fragrance from his body, put on his iconic smiling face and walked in the direction of Li Jia: "Xiao Jia, I'm so sorry, I've been shopping for a while, I didn't expect it to happen." so long."

Li Jia raised his head, glanced at him with dark eyes, then got up and walked out: "Let's go."

Li Jia's attitude was a little cold, Li Pai smelled his own scent, and then scratched his hair. He really didn't understand why the younger brother changed all of a sudden, so he had no choice but to follow.

After all, Li Jia was not familiar with the harem, and after walking a few steps, he realized that he was getting lost. Li Pai behind him also knew his way, and hurried forward to lead the way.

Li Jia lowered his head and followed him, the two of them walked around for a while, there was already someone talking beside them, it seemed that they had already walked out of the harem.

Li Jia carefully avoided some cuddling men and women passing by, but Li Pai seemed to know these people very well, and stopped to laugh with them from time to time.

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Li family? But it's been a long time since I saw you. Could it be that the family has a little lover who doesn't come out to hunt wild food? Eh? Next to it..."

A somewhat puffy man suddenly walked out from the crowd. He was holding a coquettishly dressed woman in his arms, and he smiled happily. It seemed that he also knew Li Pai.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Pai smiled, gave him a symbolic punch, and then introduced: "This is my little brother. He has been raised at home, and today we bring them to meet the world."

After all, he pointed to the fat man and explained to Li Jia:

"This is the head of the Rong family, Rong Yu, and also a partner of our Li family."

Li Jia was a little uncomfortable being looked at by the man's strange eyes, but he couldn't help but give him face, so he nodded reluctantly: "Hello."

"well!"

Rong Yu seemed very happy, and took the initiative to reach out his hand to shake hands with Li Jia.

Li Pai, who had been paying attention to Rong Yu's expression, secretly smiled inwardly. Seeing that Li Jia hadn't reached out his hand for a long time, he was a little unhappy, so he simply grabbed Li Jia's hand and put it in the man's hand.

Li Jia didn't pay attention for a while, and was caught by Li Pai. As soon as his finger touched Rong Yu's palm, he quickly stretched it back, wiped it on the corner of his clothes quietly, and glanced at Li Pai expressionlessly.

Seen by his eyes, Li Pai was embarrassed to be just a little brother, but felt that his actions just now were too disrespectful to him, so he could only sneer and say, "My little brother is a bit shy, so I'm really embarrassed."

Rong Yu was still amazed at the flashing touch of his palm just now, and he could only smile and take it over when he heard his words: "Where is it, it's good to be shy, there are not many people who are shy now."

The two were courteous and polite to each other there, Li Jia was really impatient to hear it, and just as he was about to say something, there was a burst of noise.

"You stop for me!"

The imposing female voice sounded familiar. Li Jia stood on tiptoe and leaned out from behind Li Pai. He was bumped by a figure who suddenly rushed towards him, and almost fell to the ground.

"... Li Jia?"

My head was dizzy for a while, but before I calmed down, a suspicious voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing his name, Li Jia stabilized his body and looked up at the other party.

A boy, a very familiar boy.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, Li Jia suddenly asked: "...Mo Yu?"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, at least this person hadn't forgotten himself, but he brought it up again shortly after he was relieved.

"Boy! Come back to me!"

The woman's voice was louder and brighter than before, Mo Yu seemed to be very scared when he heard this voice, and wanted to continue running.

Li Jia grabbed him and shook his head at him.

At this time, Dan Ji brought several men to kill him.

"you this--"

Her words were cut off in the middle of a sentence, and there was no other reason. The boy who ran away just now was surrounded by a boy who was about the same age, and this boy was the one she had just been warned not to move.

Dan Ji froze in place, and Li Jia didn't know how to react when she saw that it was her. The two teams stood face to face for a long time, neither of them said a word.

In the end, it was Li Pai who broke the stalemate:

"Sister Dan? I said, what's the matter? This kid is..."

"Master Li..." Dan Ji twitched the corners of her mouth, looked away from Li Jia, glanced at the young man hiding next to Li Jia, and said disdainfully, "Isn't it just a prostitute, they all came into my harem, You still want to leave? You really treat my place as some random place."

Hearing this, Li Pai wandered his mind, and was about to tell Dan Ji to keep this kid for himself first, but unexpectedly, Li Jia turned his head and looked at the young man: "You... come to sell yourself?"

"That's not true!" Li Jia had just finished speaking, and Mo Yu had already blushed and roared out, "It's obvious that this woman lied to me, saying that as long as I come here to dance a few dances, she will give me the last coin, I didn't expect to ask I do that stuff..."

After speaking, the boy's entire face turned completely black, full of shame and anger.

Li Jia's head hurts again, this Mo Yu is too stupid, in the imperial capital, there is no one who can get money by just dancing, let alone this is a harem, where there is no such thing as performing arts.

But this young man also helped him back then, he couldn't just watch him being sold out like this, so he had to bite the bullet and look at the woman who made him not know how to face him: "He..."

"Is he your friend?"

Before Li Jia could speak, Dan Ji pointed at Mo Yu and asked him.

Li Pai, who had been wanting to speak but was unable to intervene, originally wanted to ask the same question, so he also turned to Li Jia, waiting for his answer.
