Chapter 98
Li Zhe shook his head, looking straight at the direction of the car, "It's not that late! The little lady is smart, and she can learn to read after one year old!"
Mu Li couldn't help being surprised, and then carefully asked the doubts in his heart, "When did Xiaoxi come to Lihuaxi?"
Li Zhe frowned and thought about it, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems... It seems to be very small. I remember that when the young master carried her back to Lihuaxi, she was still a baby, and she was in the swaddle all day long. .”
"How many months old is that?"
"A few months old?" Li Zhe shook his head even more at a loss, "I have no idea about this, about half a year old?"
"Then when did she arrive at Lihuaxi?"
"More than four years ago!" Li Zhe became very sure of this again, "When the spring just started, it was still a bit chilly. I remember that the banyan trees in the courtyard hadn't sprouted yet!"
More than four years ago, at the beginning of spring...
Mu Li didn't dare to think about it anymore. She had an accidental premature birth in autumn. If calculated according to what Li Zhe said, Xiaoxi was about half a year old when she came to Lihuaxi, and it happened to be spring... The timeline is roughly the same !
Will Xiaoxi be that child back then?Murray couldn't help clenching his hands tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.Over the years, she has been unwilling to admit no matter what, her child died as soon as she was born, if Xiao Xi is really her child...
No—impossible, Mu Dezhong told her himself, it was a baby boy, and he was thrown into the sea of Lihuaxi.
Could it be that Mu Dezhong lied?But on this matter, Mu Dezhong didn't seem to need to lie, not to mention that when the child was mentioned, his anger didn't seem to be feigned.
"Madam, we're almost there." Li Zhe's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Mu Li looked up, and there was actually the gate of Lihuaxi in front of him.
Then Li Zhe said happily again: "Young Master must be waiting for you to come back for dinner!"
……
"Father, are you back?" Lin Xuntai took the initiative to step forward, took the coat that Lin Yuan had taken off, handed it to the servant, and brought him a cup of hot tea, "It's cold, warm your hands."
Lin Yuan took it, but sighed deeply, and sat on the sofa frowning.
"What made father feel so depressed?" Lin Xuntai sat down beside him and asked with concern, but in fact he had something even more depressing to ask Lin Yuan for advice.
Lin Xuntai took a sip of tea, but his brows did not relax, "Your elder brother supports Ke Liang, the bid has been withheld!"
"what?"
"Lin Yisheng is not a vegetarian either, of course he will be clear about all possible obstacles."
"But the eldest brother told me that if I want to keep an eye on the bidding case, we will definitely win the bid!"
"That's why it's annoying!" Lin Yuan sighed heavily, and leaned over to put down his teacup, "You go to Lihuaxi, what did your elder brother say to you?"
Mentioning this, Lin Xuntai was annoyed, "Brother, I am getting more and more confused now! Father, why do I feel that Brother seems unwilling to fight with me again?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Yuan scolded.
Lin Xuntai frowned, sat up straight, and his usually unruly face was rare and serious, "Am I talking nonsense, father, you should think about it! Over the years, apart from gaining a firm foothold in the universe, what else is there? What's more strange Yes, he asked me to contact Mu Cheng!"
"Those who achieve great things need to wait for their time," Lin Yuan interrupted, and he still trusted Lin Jinqian 100% in his words, "If nothing else, just look at Lin Yisheng. Before he became the heir, he belonged to the Lin family for more than 20 years. Transparent man, he can bear it, why can't you?"
"Father, this is not a question of whether you can bear it or not!"
"what is that?"
"It's the elder brother who has no intention of helping me become the heir!" Lin Xuntai shouted with deep eyes, feeling slightly agitated.
And Lin Yuan seemed to be awakened by his yelling, and was stunned for a moment, his thoughts slipped into the past, and he pondered quietly.
Lin Xuntai said in a deep voice: "Since he let me get close to Mu Cheng, and obtained evidence from Mu Cheng that the Mu family broke the law, his mind is no longer in the struggle for the successor of the Lin family! He has already retired from the battle for succession, who will inherit the Lin family? Family foundation is the same to him!"
"No! I watched Jinqian grow up, and I, the fourth uncle, know what he is like!" Lin Yuan still firmly believed, "He keeps his promises just like big brother!"
"Aren't you willing to trust him, and you don't want to trust your own son?" Lin Xuntai stood up angrily, rarely angry at his father, "He ruined the Mu family not because the Mu family discredited him, but because Mu The family didn't pay attention to his wife!"
"Everything he did was to break the shackles for his wife!"
These words undoubtedly refreshed the cognition. Lin Yuan was shocked, and seemed to be unbelievable. In shock, he heard Lin Xuntai slow down his tone and continue to explain his views in a low voice.
"I suspect now that he knew about his wife's disappearance back then, and the search for it with several big families was just a superficial job, and his wife was hidden by him at all!"
"I'm also worried that he is cooperating with us on the surface, but in fact he is going to sit on the heir again. We are just his stepping stones!"
Lin Yuan couldn't speak, and it was hard to connect, let alone express his thoughts?He had seen the daughter of the Mu family before. When she married into Lihuaxi, the ceremony was very simple. It was just a car to pick her up, and there was no more ostentation.
The old man didn't show up directly, and he objected from the beginning to the end. At that time, he attended regardless of the old man's opinion precisely because he considered that he would ask Lin Jinqian for help in the later stage to help his son become the ultimate heir.
That daughter... Mu Li, the most impressive thing is her clean and bright eyes. Thinking of her appearance at that time, Lin Yuan's heart fluttered slightly, and he seemed to understand why Lin Jinqian insisted on marrying.
From this point of view, it is not impossible for him to bring down the Mu family for the sake of his wife... Thinking about it, Lin Yuan thought of another problem, "Didn't he say that he wanted to get a divorce? Why? He's not leaving again?"
Lin Xuntai rubbed his brows, recalled his experience in Lihuaxi during the day, shook his head and sighed, "I mean I want to leave, but it seems that I'm not firm anymore, grandpa doesn't want him to leave either? Hey - I don't know!"
"But he said that now is not the best time to divorce!" Thinking of the last sentence, Lin Xuntai was slightly excited, "He said that the marriage will be divorced, but not now, but after Sheng and Miss Tao get married!"
"What's the use of divorce at that time?" Lin Yuan shouted anxiously, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately realized something, grabbed Lin Xuntai's hand, his eyes panicked, "Wrong, Artest!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Xuntai was puzzled.
Lin Yuan got up abruptly, restless like an ant on a hot pot, "It's not that Jin Qian won't help us, you misunderstood him! The marriage is not because he doesn't want to leave, but because Qingluan Mountain is bound to stop him!"
"Six years ago, Qingluan Mountain didn't stop it until the end. First, it was because Jin Qian insisted on marrying, and second, the impact of this marriage on the Lin family was not too great, but now it's different from the past—"
"Now that Lin Yisheng is the heir, the old man's meaning is very obvious, and he will not change it. And Lin Yisheng's thoughts on Mu Li, the old man also knows! If we get divorced at this time, it will be just as the sixth lady said cryptically."
"Lin Yisheng will definitely give up his marriage contract with the Tao family regardless of everything, and instead stay with Mu Li! How can the old man not see through this point? Therefore, before Sheng marries Miss Tao, Qingluan Mountain will hinder their divorce no matter what!"
It turned out to be like this... Lin Xuntai seemed to have suddenly realized it, why didn't he think of it?No wonder Lin Jinqian asked him to ask his father, it turned out that there was such a deep connection behind it!
"Then what should we do?" Lin Xuntai was really in a hurry, this was obviously a crucial battle, and Mu Li decided whether they could successfully pull Lin Yisheng from the heir position!
Lin Yuan pressed his forehead, closed his eyes and breathed vigorously. After an unknown period of time, he opened his eyes, the bottom of which was dim, and he said in a cold and forbearing voice: "We can't wait any longer, Artest! You Eldest brother must not act rashly."
In these years, he has been cultivating himself in Lihuaxi. He treats people as lightly as water, without arrogance or impetuosity, and takes his time. He treats everything with an attitude of letting nature take its course.
"We can't wait any longer." Knowing this point, Lin Yuan was extremely firm, "Once Sheng marries the daughter of the Tao family, it will be even more difficult to shake him. I don't know how long we have to wait, maybe it's nowhere in sight!"
"So, this time, we have to make our own plans. In the company, we should listen to Jinqian first, but in the Lin family, we can no longer follow his wishes! We have to find a way! Find a way to make him have to divorce Mu Li!"
……
This meal was very quiet, and even the sound of snowflakes being blown off by the wind on the branches outside the house could be heard.
Mu Li was even a little dazed. Although he said that when he first returned to Lihuaxi, he also had the experience of eating at the same table, but it was very rare. Besides, the quietness at that time was indifferent, but it is different now.
"that……"
"Do you still want to eat square cakes tomorrow?"
At the same time, the two spoke in unison and looked up at each other. One had already spoken, but the other was still on the edge of his mouth, both in a daze.
Mu Li lowered his eyes, avoiding his gaze, and the chopsticks became inexplicably heavier in his hands, and for a while, he seemed afraid to face them, and there was no sound.
There was a crisp sound from the opposite side, as if the chopsticks collided with the bowl, and then his usual indifferent voice sounded, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
There was no way to avoid it, and there was nothing to avoid. Mu Li raised his head, suppressed the hesitation and anxiety in his heart, and asked, "Where has Xiaoxi been recently? I haven't seen her for a long time."
She raised her eyes and looked straight into his deep black eyes. She didn't miss the fluctuation in his eyes after the question was asked. Although it was only fleeting, although it was like an illusion, it actually appeared.
Mu Li's fingers holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously, and she somehow felt something unusual.
