Chaos

Chapter 21

Li Shu returned to the wing room, where Cheng Yu was waiting.

"Li Lu didn't come?"

Cheng Yu smiled and shook his head.

"Where's Li Kang? Gone?"

"Well, I don't know if I will come back or not."

Only then did Li Shu relax, sat down, and said, "It's raining so heavily outside, let's go home."

"Madam Li!"

Before the words were finished, Li Kang appeared at the door of the wing with a greased paper bag in his body, all wet.

Li Shu got up and took the oiled paper bag, and asked, "What is this?"

Li Kang smiled and brushed his wet hair, and said, "Heji's jujube cake, I heard from Mr. Cheng that you have a bad appetite these days, so you want to eat this."

Li Shu smiled vigilantly, took the oiled paper bag and handed it to Cheng Yu, and asked, "You ran out under such heavy rain just to buy jujube cake?"

Li Kang lowered his head and said with a smile: "Since you came back to Shanghai, I have been thinking about sending something, but there is nothing missing in Li Zhai, and I don't have any rare items that can be handed out, so I have been delaying it. It is also accidental." I heard from Mr. Cheng that you have had a bad appetite these days and wanted to eat Heji’s jujube cake, but it was still early, so I went to have a look.”

Li Shu smiled and said, "You've bothered!"

In the evening, Li Shu was sitting in the study, with those few jujube cakes on the table intact.

Cheng Yu opened the door and came in, followed by Guo Liu.

Li Shu asked, "Where did Li Kang go during the day?"

"I went to the old church in the northern suburbs."

Li Shu frowned, "So, Li Lu was killed by him."

"Yes. I saw his people split into two groups. One went to Li's house to report the news, and the other went back to the city."

"I'm going to buy jujube cake," Li Shu nodded, "Okay, I understand, you can go down."

"Hey." Guo Liu turned and went out, closing the door.

Li Shu raised his eyes to look at Cheng Yu, and asked, "You let him go?"

Cheng Yu smiled, sat next to her, and said, "How can I have that ability?"

"Then tell me," Li Shu pointed at the jujube cake in the oiled paper bag with his chin, "he doesn't know that I don't eat sweets, so why would he want to eat jujube cake? Is it your idea to let him borrow jujube cakes?" How about going out and killing Li Lu?"

"I just blew the wind in my ears," Cheng Yu smiled, and broke off a piece of jujube cake and put it in his mouth, "Besides, this is also Li Kang's wish!"

Li Shu smiled helplessly, "What about Wu Mohan?"

"He didn't die, the bullet didn't touch the large internal organs, and he was still in a coma in the hospital. Li Lu was injured all over his body, and he couldn't wait for someone to save him without the gun in his head."

Li Shu sighed for a long time and said, "I don't know what the second wife will do in the future..."

In Li's house, a few girls and women were cleaning and changing clothes for Li Lu in Li Lu's room. The second wife was crying outside the door to go in. The servants couldn't hold back, fell down and rolled in water and continued to get up and rush.Li Gong stood not far away, frowning tightly, without saying a word.

Li Mu and Lu Ning held the second wife and shouted loudly: "Second wife, don't worry, it will be healed soon!"

At this time, Li Kong also came from the bamboo garden with the three old ladies and the children.

Li Lu's son Li Yong quickly stepped forward and squatted in front of the second wife, holding her hand.The second wife was also tired of shouting, and when she saw Li Yong, she finally calmed down and sat on the ground with disheveled hair, sobbing unceasingly, muttering something in her mouth.

Several floors of family members crowded around Li Lu's room, but only the second wife's sobbing could be heard.

Li Kang stood next to Li Gong, watching all this indifferently, and the sobbing voice of the second wife did not soften his heart in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened, Zheng Ma came out and said slowly: "Okay, second wife, please come in."

But at this moment, the second wife closed her eyes, clenched Li Yong's hand, and cried even more sadly, but she didn't make a sound.In the servants behind, a few soft-hearted girls couldn't help crying.

Lu Ning and Li Mu supported the second wife, walked up the steps slowly and feebly, and walked into the room.

The bloody towel and water basin were still in the corner, showing a corner, Zheng Ma and the maids bowed their heads slightly to one side.

The second wife slowly knelt down beside the white couch where Li Lu was lying, stroking his face and hands, looking at the big and small bruises on his body, she couldn't say a word, and on Li Lu's white pajamas, She was full of tears.

"Lu, don't you like to scare your mother the most? I remember when you were a child, you asked the painter to draw a bloody gash. It was so big that you fell from the roof and broke your leg. The doctor was scared by you. , but you insisted on coming through, scaring me..." The second wife kept holding his hand and muttering to herself, the girl standing beside her kept wiping her tears, Lu Ning and Li Mu couldn't bear to look away.

Standing at the door, Li Kang remembered what Li Lu had said.

Li Lu's method of gaining his mother's attention was sadly frightening and clumsy.

Li Gong sighed and called Li Kang over.

"You go pick a day, and you have to learn something quickly, don't make too tight a schedule..."

After finishing the second wife's meal, the family sat in the side hall, waiting for Li Gong to arrange the follow-up matters, but Li Gong just smoked cigarettes one after another, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth.

"I'll go to the chamber of commerce tomorrow. For the future, let Kang go."

The crowd listened in silence.

"The two wives of Li Lu are leaving. You go and ask the two children what they mean. They are also fifteen or sixteen. If you want to leave with your mother, don't force them to stay. I will also help the two wives find a place to live. Move over and leave more money; if you want to stay, you can take them to learn things early.

"Li Kang, you don't need to learn many of the things I taught Li Lu before. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask the third old lady more. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Do more and you will understand."

"Hey..." Li Kang replied hesitantly, and Li Gong could tell.

"what do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of Li Nan."

Li Gong's complexion changed, and the hand holding the crutch suddenly exerted force, and the nails turned white.Everyone nervously looked back and forth between Li Kang and Li Gong, trying to remind Li Kang not to mention this matter again.

But today's Li Kang, calm and rebellious, ignored their warnings, looked at Li Gong with burning eyes, and said, "If she can come back to take charge of the house..."

"That's enough!" Li Gong interrupted Li Kang under pressure, "Her name is not Li Nan, but Li Shu!"

Li Kang was startled, "But she used to be Li Nan, she is the first heir of the Li family!"

Li Gong tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, and said: "She chose to leave the Li family at the beginning, no one forced her to do it, she left as soon as she said, and came back as soon as she came back, what do you think of the Li family!"

Li Kang froze in place, suddenly felt that he was so naive and stupid, how could the biggest stumbling block on the way for Li Shu to come back be Li Lu?Killing Li Lu would only allow Li Shu and himself to live, and would not allow her to come back at all. He hadn't thought of that before!

A trace of disappointment suddenly appeared in Li Kang's stone-like eyes, and he said coldly: "I thought that as the eldest gentleman of the Li family, you were thinking of the entire Li family, but now I can see that you only care about your face. "

Li Gong was irritated by this heartbreaking remark, and his voice suddenly rose: "Of course I am thinking about the Li family. I am not only me, but also the eldest gentleman of the Li family! I not only care about my own face, but also must To save the face of the Li family!"

"The face of the Li family, you still remember the Li family! Why did Li Nan leave the Li family 20 years ago, Second Uncle, don't others know, and neither do you?"

Li Kang also suddenly became hysterical. He knew Li Gong's heart disease, but he wanted to stab him.

"Li Kang!" Li Mu stopped, "Don't say a few words!"

Li Kang's veins bulged, his eyes were red, "It's you, Mr. Li Jiada, Li Gong, who wrote the document to give Li Lu the position of heir!"

There was no sound in the hall.

"Without that document, Sister Nan wouldn't have left the Li family, and we wouldn't have come this far..."

When he said these words, Li Kang seemed to feel relieved suddenly, the pain and despair melted into a mocking smile, he slowly backed towards the door, and left without looking back.

"Kang!" Li Mu quickly chased him out.

"Come back!" Li Gong shouted, "Don't go!"

Li Gong folded his hands together and leaned on the crutches, his palms were covered with sweat. After a long while, he stood up slowly and said, "Go back and rest earlier."

With the help of the girl, Li Gong walked out of the side hall slowly, the rest of the people did not dare to move, they watched Li Gong go out worriedly, and looked away.

Suddenly, they heard a scream from the girl outside the door, and everyone rushed out, only to see Li Gong vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
