Unable to find any abnormalities on Mafia's face, Li Yexing shook his head, then smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, I wasted your time."
"It's okay..." Mafia bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Li, please go find the old man as soon as possible. The old man is waiting for you in the living room on the first floor."
"I'll go right away..." After a slight pause, Li Yexing whispered, "By the way, by the way, Mu Qing...may have fallen asleep..."
"I will try my best not to disturb the young lady's rest." Mafia replied immediately.
"That's good..." There was a satisfied smile on his face, Li Yexing didn't say anything, he turned around and went straight downstairs.
In fact, in the conversation just now, Li Yexing lied. He had no impression of Mafia's face at all. He just simply felt that the maid's reaction to him seemed a little uncoordinated. The maid knew him as well. After guessing the other party's nationality based on the other party's appearance and knowledge of the rich family, Li Yexing decided to use language to deceive the other party, but the other party did not show the slightest flaw.
Or in other words... this lack of flaws is itself a kind of incongruity...
"Tsk..." Thinking of Bai Muqing saying that she had already done everything, Li Yexing couldn't help but smacked his lips lightly, and whispered to himself, "I really hope this is just my illusion..."
Stepping on slippers and touching the wooden handrail of the stairs, Li Yexing walked down the stairs and returned to the living room on the first floor. At this moment, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law were busy in the kitchen, and only old man Bai was left in the living room. .
"Here we come, Xiao Li..." Greeted enthusiastically to Li Yexing who was walking step by step, the handsome old man with short silver hair stood up from the sofa, smiled and said to Li Yexing: " Both my son and my granddaughter call you Yexing, so I will call you Yexing too, don't you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind, Grandpa." Li Yexing hurriedly replied with his back on his back.
"Haha, even grandpa called me, you kid has a sweet mouth..." Nodding to Li Yexing, the old man straightened his back and came to Li Yexing, patted Li Yexing's shoulder lightly, and then He smiled and said, "Come on, Ye Xing, accompany me to the yard."
"Yes..." Li Yexing nodded in agreement.
In this way, Li Yexing followed behind the old man, put on his shoes, helped the old man open the glass door, and walked into the yard full of lilies together.
"Come on, Yexing..." As soon as he got out of the glass door of the two-story mansion, the old man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it directly to Li Yexing.
"Grandpa, this..." Looking at the cigarette in his hand, Li Yexing was slightly taken aback, but the old man said with a smile, "Have you suffocated? It's okay, let's smoke...Of course, you have to respect me first. "
"Yes..." It seems that old man Bai and father Bai are also in the same line. Li Yexing nodded with a smile, and handed a cigarette to the old man with both hands. Lighting the lighter, he lit the cigarette between the old man's lips until the old man exhaled the first puff of white mist, then he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it for himself.
Inhaling a breath of white mist and letting the nicotine occupy his head, Li Yexing pressed the cigarette case and the lighter together, and handed his hands back to the old man, but the old man waved his hands and said to Li Yexing with a chuckle: "It's a bit awkward to meet for the first time. In a hurry, there is nothing good for you, just keep the cigarettes and lighter."
"Yes..." Seeing that the old man's eyes were firm and unquestionable, Li Yexing hesitated for a while, then accepted the old man's wishes, and took the half pack of cigarettes that were definitely not cheap and the Zippo that had been used for decades The lighter was stuffed into his pocket together.
Chapter 67. The hunk Los Angeles (fourteen)
Perhaps due to the consideration of the living environment, as one of the richest areas in Los Angeles, San Marinone does not have any entertainment facilities, and there are not even many shops. The light penetrated into the compound, covering the lilies of various colors with a faint light. In the fragrance of the lilies, the old man with silver hair straightened his slightly bent waist, his eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and as deep as the sea. In the vicissitudes of life, after a while, he spit out a mouthful of white mist, and then said in a low voice: "Yexing, you and Qingqing came back at a good time, in June and July, our lilies will bloom very beautifully... "
"Yes..." The fragrant flower field in front of me is naturally too beautiful to behold. Li Yexing sniffed lightly, inhaled the fragrance of tobacco and lily flowers into his nostrils, then nodded and said: "It's very beautiful, in Yidong You don't see flowers like this in Nia."
"I took care of these flowers with my own hands..." The corner of his mouth curled up with a smirk, the old man turned his head slightly, and said to Li Yexing with a chuckle: "Qingqing has been fond of lilies since she was a child. At that time, she was only as high as her knees. , whenever I am free to take care of the flower fields, she will squat aside, staring at her intently, and sometimes she will ask me about things, as if she will never grow up..."
As he said that, old man Bai shook his head lightly, and said with emotion, "It turns out, it's only been a few years, and Qingqing brought her boyfriend back..."
Regarding the old man's emotions, Li Yexing could only keep silent, because he still couldn't empathize with the old man in front of him.
"Ha, what are you talking about? It's just old people's trivial things. It's so boring. You probably won't understand it. You're too young..." Seemingly capturing the dazed look in Li Yexing's eyes, the old man chuckled Then shook his head again.
"No..." Li Yexing whispered, "It's not boring at all, I'm very interested... about Mu Qing's childhood."
"Qingqing didn't have such a happy life when she was a child, and her carefree life was limited to this yard..." The old man sighed, looked up at the night sky where the stars were not visible due to light pollution, She whispered as if she was remembering something: "Since she started to go to school, Qingqing seldom smiles. She always works hard, silently focusing on what she should do and her goals in her heart, and then she doesn't turn her head. When Zhengyan was young, I always beat and scolded Zhengyan, thinking that Zhengyan didn't work hard enough, but when Qingqing worked hard, I felt distressed again, thinking that she shouldn't be like this, she should Like other kids of my age, go to museums, go to the countryside, go running in the streets, even if it's learning to be serious, go to some nonsense parties, and then smile more..."
"You could have told her not to squeeze herself so much..." Thinking of Bai Muqing's posture of wanting to burn himself dry when he was working, Li Yexing actually felt very distressed, and he couldn't help but whispered: "With all due respect, Bai My family is different from the situation I have to face. If I don't work hard, I will die, but not the Bai family. The four generations of the Bai family have already accumulated enough wealth for Mu Qing. Mu Qing has nothing to worry about. Considered capital."
"You're wrong..." Putting away the smile on his face, old man Bai shook his head, and said to Li Yexing in a deep voice: "No matter how distressed I am, I can't say that, Qingqing doesn't have the capital to squander, Moreover, the most important point is that our situation is much more dangerous than yours. You are working hard for yourself, but every generation of the Bai family has to work hard for the entire Bai family. Don't forget, this is Los Angeles. It's those white skins!"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Yexing seemed to see a trace of disgust in old master Bai's eyes.
"Sorry, I'm a little out of control. It's easy to be like this when you're old..." As if realizing that his tone was too strong, Mr. Bai waved his hand, and then said in a low voice: "In short, this is what we have to face. In such a situation, if we cannot go back to the Celestial Dynasty for a day, we will walk on eggshells for a day, those old capitalist families, after all, they cannot tolerate outsiders."
"Then why don't you go back?" Li Yexing asked subconsciously.
"Do you think you can go back by buying a ticket?" He gave Li Yexing an angry look, and the old man frowned and said, "Half of the Bai family has already been buried in Los Angeles. When we get to this point, we can It's not so easy to go."
As if thinking of something bad, the old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, now that I have told you about these things, you can't do anything. As long as you can bring Qingqing back to the Heavenly Dynasty, we will be very satisfied."
Raising his hand and touching his nose, Li Yexing looked away in embarrassment. To be honest, even if he is as stupid as he is, he should understand that a dangerous person like him will definitely not be able to return to the Celestial Dynasty easily, and it doesn't matter if he has a nationality. , it is estimated that as soon as I got off the plane, I would have to be detained for an interview.
"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things..." A smile appeared on his face again, the old man flicked the cigarette ash, and then took a deep breath. After the white mist escaped from his nostrils, he continued: " What did you and Zhengyan talk about before?"
"Actually, we didn't talk about anything..." Li Yexing shook his head and said with a sneer, "It's all about trivial matters, about me."
"Oh..." Nodding to Li Yexing, the old man seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he chuckled and asked in a low voice, "Speaking of which, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-five years old..." Honestly answered a not-so-honest answer, Li Yexing asked in his heart, didn't you ask Mu Qing before?
"Where did you go to school before?" the old man continued to ask.
"Novosibirsk State University." Li Yexing replied.
"Oh..." The old man nodded, and then asked, "What degree?"
"Doctor..." Li Yexing replied, "Specializing in biology."
"Oh..." Nodding his head again, the old man turned his face slightly and looked at Li Yexing, with an inexplicable curvature on the corner of his mouth. After a long time, he smiled lightly and said: "No wonder Qingqing will choose you, it seems You are as good as Qingqing, with a Ph.D. at the age of twenty-five, you must have skipped a grade, right?"
"Yes..." Suppressing the embarrassment that was about to surface on his face, Li Yexing said with a dry smile: "After all, I spent my uncle's money during the years of studying, and I want to finish my studies quickly and start working early... "
"Haha..." Finally couldn't help laughing, the old man patted Li Yexing's shoulder with a smile and said, "Yexing, do you know what I like most about you?"
"Grandpa, you said..." Li Yexing immediately bowed slightly.
"I, I just like the feeling of you staring into my eyes when I talk to you. I can see your enthusiasm and sincerity from your eyes. I can feel that you are listening carefully to my old man's rambling every day. In a word, there is no doubt, Ye Xing, your tutor is great..." After a slight pause, the old man continued to smile and said: "Secondly, I like the way you tell lies without changing your face or beating your heartbeat , a bit like when I was young."
Surprised, Li Yexing didn't reply, but raised his head with a hint of doubt in his eyes. This was not out of surprise, but out of calm consideration.
