Chapter 18: Exclusively published by Jin-Jiang Literature City
After Li Chengyuan saw Si Yuan denying his behavior of defrauding those dignitaries, he felt a little relieved, and then asked: "Then how did you become friends with them?"
Si Yuan started to fool him seriously: "I have no friendship with them. After all, every family has one or two playboys who like to eat, drink, have fun and gamble like me. We have similar temperaments, so we played together, that is Just ordinary fair-weather friends, just drinking together."
Li Chengyuan is not that stupid: "No, it's not just dandies who are toasting you." Not only are there young talents like Zhao Lin, but there are even a few people who are holding the title. Even he, the current Uncle Jingyuan, may not be able to Someone who was well connected actually took the initiative to toast Si Yuan. There must be something wrong with this.
Si Yuan increased his efforts to deceive: "They are here for you, eldest brother, right? After all, eldest brother has inherited the title and is the current uncle Jingyuan. Moreover, eldest brother Long Zhang Fengzi has outstanding abilities. Although he is temporarily unappreciated, you are talented, who can Can't you see it? They must want to make friends with you while you are hiding in the abyss. In the future, when you soar into the sky, it will also show that they are unique and discerning, right?"
Li Chengyuan was so flattered by Si Yuan that he was intoxicated.
Yes, he is talented but has not been recognized for the time being, but he is a hidden dragon in the abyss, just waiting for the time to come in the future, the trapped dragon ascends to the sky, and the dragon soars to the nine heavens.
Hehe, he just said that, how could those guests with unusual status come for his playboy and incompetent third brother? It must be because of his reputation as Uncle Jing Yuan that he came to attend his mother's birthday banquet.
Si Yuan looked at Li Chengyuan's narcissistic appearance after being deceived by him, and did not give him a chance to wake up from it. He continued to increase the intensity of his flattery and deception until he was over-inflated and confused.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and interrupted Si Yuan's continuous deception of Li Chengyuan, and reported to him that Li Jingyuan came to the door with his wife and children.
Si Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He originally thought that Li Jingyuan would delay his arrival. After all, he had offended Li Jingyuan severely before. Unexpectedly, he not only came, but also came very quickly, without even sending a greeting card. I took the liberty of coming directly to the door.
When Li Chengyuan heard the butler's words, his mind woke up a little from his dazed and complacent state, but not much. He frowned and said, "Why is the fourth brother here?"
He came to Si Yuan with his son, and Li Jingyuan came with his wife and children. He couldn't help but wonder if Li Jingyuan had been staring at him and following him.
Li Chengyuan had just been flattered by Si Yuan, so naturally he felt that he was not a thing in the pool, and was feared and guarded by Li Jingyuan. It was natural to suspect that Li Jingyuan had ill intentions towards him.
Si Yuan ordered the housekeeper to welcome Li Jingyuan and his family in.
Li Chengyuan's face showed a look of satisfaction. When he came before, Si Yuan's family of three came to greet them and his son in person. Now that Li Jingyuan is here, Si Yuan only sends his housekeeper to greet him. As expected, it is he, Uncle Jing Yuan, who is more respected by his third brother. Li Jingyuan is not worthy of being compared with him.
Li Chengyuan, who had always been resentful because Uncle Jingyuan did not support his eldest son, but instead spent all his family's connections and resources on Li Jingyuan, the bastard, felt very relieved because of Si Yuan's differential treatment.
At this time, he had long forgotten the original intention of Old Uncle Jing Yuan in asking him to come to Si Yuan.
Li Jingyuan came over with his wife and children under the guidance of the housekeeper. When he saw that Li Chengyuan was here, he showed no surprise on his face. He calmly saluted Li Chengyuan and said, "I've seen you, brother."
Seeing that Li Jingyuan was not surprised that he was here, Li Chengyuan was even more sure that Li Jingyuan must have followed him. He became more and more unfavorable to Li Jingyuan in his heart, and opened his mouth to dig a hole for Li Jingyuan: "The fourth brother is here today to explain to the third brother what happened before. Did you apologize?"
Li Jingyuan's expression changed. Isn't the incident on the birthday banquet over yet? The eldest brother actually wants him to apologize to Li Siyuan?
Li Jingyuan was about to say that he was invited by Si Yuan, but Si Yuan interrupted him in advance: "Fourth brother, Chang Qing and Chang Ji went to play together, why not let Chang Wen go to play too, and let Si My younger siblings will take care of me, so you can rest assured."
After Li Jingyuan was interrupted by Si Yuan, he shifted his attention, thinking that if his eldest brother really forced him to apologize to Li Si Yuan, he would definitely have to compromise for the sake of future harmony between brothers, so he would have to do it to prevent his wife and children from seeing him. In a scene where you bow your head, you might as well get them away first.
So even if he didn't listen to Si Yuan, Li Jingyuan had to nod to Tan and Li Changwen and said, "Go ahead."
Mrs. Tan was a typical good wife and mother. When her husband spoke, she took her son and left with the housekeeper who led the way.
Only the three brothers of the Li family who were at odds with each other remained.
Because of Si Yuan's flattery and deception before, Li Chengyuan now dislikes Si Yuan much more. On the contrary, he dislikes Li Jingyuan more and more. Originally he was just mocking Li Jingyuan, but now he really wants Li Jingyuan to give Si Yuan Apologize: "Fourth brother, you tried to step on the third brother to gain your reputation at the birthday party. What you did was really ugly. You should apologize to the third brother. This time, let me be the witness."
Li · was really embarrassed on the day of his birthday banquet. Jing · did not come to apologize. · Yuan: "..."
The eldest brother really didn't treat him as a younger brother. There was a difference between a legitimate concubine and a legitimate concubine. Sure enough, the two legitimate brothers were working together to bully his concubine.
Li Jingyuan felt that he could endure the humiliation and said to Si Yuan: "Third brother, it was me who was wrong before. I should not have misunderstood you and Mr. Zhao. It was me who was biased against the third brother because of his previous behavior. I hope that the third brother will forgive me."
Si Yuan: "..." While apologizing, he also explained that he used to be such an inconspicuous person. Is this an apology?
However, Si Yuan looked at the progress bar that had taken a big step in front of him, and he still didn't care about this small problem with Li Jingyuan. After all, the male protagonist's father had bowed to his cannon fodder father, and he helped his cannon fodder son to fight against his father. Won once.
So Si Yuan just smiled and mocked back: "Fourth brother likes to be prejudiced against people. Third brother, I can understand it, but I still hope that fourth brother will change this bad habit in the future. After all, fourth brother can't always be so open-minded in the future. Offend someone."
He had an expression on his face that said, "I'm only doing this for your own good," which made Li Jingyuan as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly alive.
When Si Yuan was quarreling with each other, which made Li Jingyuan extremely frustrated, Xiao Changqing was choosing between the two.
Although Li Changji is two years older than Xiao Changqing, as the eldest son of Li Chengyuan, he has had high hopes from Li Chengyuan since he was a child. He can only touch toys when he is ignorant and unenlightened. After he begins to learn, he can All that is touched is the pen and ink of the book.
So when Xiao Changqing took him to the small amusement park built by Si Yuan for his son, Li Changji didn't know how to play when he saw all the novel and novel amusement facilities that he had never seen before.
Xiao Changqing looked at his eldest cousin's helpless look and learned that his eldest cousin had never played or even seen these amusement facilities. An indescribable sense of pride arose in Xiao Changqing's heart - even if his eldest cousin He's my uncle's son. Haven't I ever played with the toys my dad made for me? Sure enough, my dad is the best dad!
With a strong sense of pride, Xiao Changqing explained to Li Changji how to use these recreational facilities. One was talking and the other was listening. While the two brothers were enjoying themselves, another Li Changwen came.
On the day of Li's mother's birthday party, Xiao Changqing had a good time with Li Changwen, so this time, Xiao Changqing was very happy to see the friends he had met before, and quickly waved to Li Changwen, who had just arrived: "Brother Changwen! Come on! Let’s play together!”
Xiao Changqing was only happy when he saw Li Changwen, but Li Changwen felt much more complicated when he saw Xiao Changqing. To be honest, he liked and envied this little cousin he had known for a short time, but because of playing with Xiao Changqing, he was His father scolded and whipped him, and his mother told him to stay away from Xiao Changqing in the future. He resisted and thought about it. He stood hesitantly outside the small fence gate of the small amusement park, looked at Xiao Changqing hesitantly, and then looked back. Look at his mother, Tan.
With Yu Yan still standing nearby and Li Changji also playing with Xiao Changqing, there was no way Tan could openly stop her son from playing with his two cousins, so even if she tried to show off, she could Yao Yao said: "Chang Wen, go play with your two brothers. Pay attention to safety and don't fall."
Li Changwen is still a child under five years old. He can't tell whether the adults' words are true or false. He only understands the superficial meaning. His mother allows him to play with his two brothers.
After receiving his mother's permission, Li Changwen immediately gave up all worries, opened the small gate of the fence and rushed in. He rushed to Xiao Changqing's side excitedly and took the initiative to hold his hand: "Brother Changqing..." He looked timidly. He glanced at Li Changji, who was more than half a head taller than him, and said, "Who is this brother? Brother Changqing wants to play with him, why don't you play with me?"
Li Changwen actually met Li Changji on the day of Li's mother's birthday party, but he only knew that Li Changji was his uncle's cousin. The two had never played together and were not familiar with each other. In his heart, they were naturally not as good as those who had played with him. Xiao Changqing.
So Li Changwen felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Li Changji was Brother Changqing's cousin, and he was Brother Changqing's cousin. They were all cousins. What if Brother Changqing wanted to play with his older brother?
He subconsciously showed a weak, pitiful and helpless expression to Xiao Changqing, and asked a question that asked Xiao Changqing to choose one of the two.
Xiao Changqing scratched his head with a confused expression. Brother Changji is very good, and brother Changwen is also very good. So why can't everyone play together, and he must choose one between brother Changji and brother Changwen?
