Chapter 88:
Because of Father Shen's physical condition, Father Li did not stay in the ward very long. Before Shen Bixue could fully digest what Li Mingxuan said, Father Li pushed the door and walked out.
"Where's Ming Xuan?" Noticing that Shen Bixue was alone at the door, Father Li couldn't help but wonder.
Shen Bixue motioned downstairs, "I'm getting angry with me and taking the lead for Xiaoxi."
Father Li was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Stinky boy! What's wrong?"
Shen Bixue smiled wryly, "I just hope that Xiaoxi can come to the hospital to accompany eldest brother when she has nothing to do, just mentioning a sentence, Mingxuan refused for Xiaoxi, and said that I did too much. You said that the elder brother has been strong all his life, and Lin Lao is lying in the hospital alone, without any of his three sons by his side, what does it feel like?"
Shen Bixue clearly disapproved of Li Mingxuan's behavior, noticed Li's father's disapproval, Shen Bixue gave him a dissatisfied look, "You also help me explain Mingxuan, Xiaoxi's surname is Shen after all, Big brother is already like this, what kind of resentment is there?"
Shen Bixue thought it was simple, but Li's father was not as optimistic as her, but at this time Li's father did not want to argue with her and changed the subject, "Why didn't Aji and Acheng come?"
Shen Bixue frowned, "A Cheng is recovering from drugs, A Ji is not willing to leave with him, and now Xiao Xi has time."
The topic shifted to Shen Xi again, Father Li spoke comfortably, "Since Mingxuan has already refused, don't mention Xiaoxi's coming to the hospital. Besides, according to Dehan He may not be willing to meet Xiaoxi because of his temperament."
Though he said that, when he thought of Father Shen lying in the hospital alone, Shen Bixue felt sore in his heart and wanted to say something, Father Li spoke again, "I know what you mean. , but you can see how Dehan has treated Xiaoxi over the years. You can’t just ask Xiaoxi for everything, regardless of Dehan’s attitude. Son filial piety without father’s kindness. Besides, is Xiaoxi willing or not? It's his own business, what is it for us to get involved like this." According to Li's father's idea, since they have acquiesced in Shen's father's attitude towards Shen Xi over the years, and have not heard anything about what happened to Shen Xi, now they have Is there any position to point at Shen Xi's behavior? Shen Xi is with Ming Xuan, but that doesn't mean they can interfere with Shen Xi's attitude through Ming Xuan. Besides, even A Ji was disheartened and unwilling to stay in the hospital because of Shen Rong, so why bother Shen Xi.
Father Li's words made Shen Bixue sigh. Over the years, Father Li never pointed fingers at the Shen family's family affairs. This was the first time he made a clear statement. She understood what Father Li meant. Since she sat and watched Father Shen's indifference to Shen Xi, what qualifications did she have to ask Shen Xi now. Silently sighing in her heart, Shen Bixue whispered, "I see!"
Father Li and Li Mingxuan accompanied Shen Bixue in the hospital for a whole afternoon, and they did not leave the hospital until the evening. Li Mingxuan did not go back to Ye Han, but turned along the familiar street to the community where Shen Xi lived.
Skillfully parked the car in a corner of the community, Li Mingxuan did not get out of the car but sat quietly in the car and looked up at the familiar window. The warm light overflowing from the window was a great attraction for Li Mingxuan. He tried hard to suppress the urge in his heart to appear in front of Shen Xi, and restrained himself in the car. It has been three days since he left Shen Xi. During these three days, he forced himself not to think about Shen Xi, but no matter what he did, Shen Xi's shadow always lingered in his mind. Today, his mother mentioned that Shen Xi made him unable to bear it any longer, and sneaked back here in the dark of night.
Maybe because she was close to Shen Xi, the thoughts she had been suppressing poured out. Li Mingxuan looked at the direction of the window fascinated, wondering how Shen Xi was doing these days? Did you eat well and rest well? A trace of bitterness flashed on Li Mingxuan's face, wondering if Shen Xi would occasionally think of herself?
When Li Mingxuan was suffering alone, Shen Xi was not doing well. Without Li Mingxuan by his side, he did not sleep well at night. The memories of the two worlds were mixed up in the dream, and every time Shen Xi was awakened, she would not be able to distinguish the reality she was in for a moment.
After being awakened by a nightmare again, Shen Xi gasped for breath. The scene in the dream was the life in prison in the previous life, but there was an inexplicable Li Mingxuan beside him. The riot came as scheduled, and he watched helplessly as the knife stabbed at him, but at the critical moment, Li Mingxuan stood in front of him. Boundless blood spread in front of her eyes, Shen Xi only felt that she seemed to have forgotten to breathe, her heart seemed to be pinched together by an invisible big hand, and she couldn't even shout in pain. Opening his eyes, he was lying on the bed in the apartment, with no Li Mingxuan and no blood. Shen Xi frowned irritably, the scene in the dream was too real, and even the pain felt as if he had experienced it himself.
The drowsiness completely disappeared, Shen Xi simply turned on the light and sat there leaning against the head of the bed, grabbing a financial magazine by the bed and flipping through it in confusion. After turning a few pages, Shen Xi's movements stopped, and the place where his eyes stopped was an exclusive interview with Li Mingxuan. The large photo was printed there, and Li Mingxuan was smiling and looking calm and confident.
Shen Xi stared at Li Mingxuan's smiling face, the expression of despair he had that day suddenly flashed in his mind, and his heart trembled suddenly. Why so desperate? Is it because of his revenge against the Shen family or because he deceived him? Shen Xi's hand unconsciously brushed against the magazine, and a trace of miss flashed in her eyes.
When Shen Xi turned on the light, Li Mingxuan, who had been sitting quietly in the car, quickly noticed the light. Glancing at two o'clock in the morning, Li Mingxuan's face flashed a trace of worry. He knew that Shen Xi didn't sleep well when he was alone, so for the past six months, he tried to avoid business trips and insisted on going home every night. Not knowing if Shen Xi was suffering from insomnia again, Li Mingxuan was deeply worried.
The phone was quickly connected, but no one spoke on the other side, only the sound of small breathing came over.
Li Mingxuan listened to Shen Xi's breathing quietly, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Shen Xi guessed a lot of what Li Mingxuan might say, but she never thought that he would ask herself why she still hadn't slept. Almost subconsciously, Shen Xi asked back, "How do you know I'm not sleeping?" After saying this, Shen Xi seemed to realize something, and said tentatively, "Are you downstairs?"
Shen Xi's guess made Li Mingxuan's heart beat faster, he almost blurted out "yes", but soon he calmed down and denied, "No." Then he explained, "I guess, the phone You're connected as soon as it rings, I thought you haven't slept yet."
"Oh!"
Shen Xi got up and stood in front of the window while talking. Because of the late night, even if the street lights were on in the community, he could only faintly see the shadow of the car downstairs in the community, let alone see if there was anyone in the car. After realizing what he was doing, a self-mockery flashed across Shen Xi's face. Could it be that he really thought that Li Mingxuan would stay downstairs in the middle of the night just to watch him. They have broken up, what is the need for Li Mingxuan to do this? Thinking like this, Shen Xi suppressed the inexplicable disappointment in her heart and glanced downstairs for the last time, then turned and left the window.
Shen Xi couldn't see the bottom, but Li Mingxuan saw Shen Xi's figure at a glance. Taking a deep breath, Li Mingxuan said calmly, "It's too late, go to bed earlier."
Shen Xi is a little confused about what Li Mingxuan wants to do with this call? Is it just to see if you are sleeping or not and then urge yourself to sleep? Thoughts flashed, Shen Xi calmly said, "Can't sleep."
"Can't sleep?" Li Mingxuan said warmly, "I'll accompany you, go to bed and turn off the lights and soon fall asleep."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Shen Xi lay on the bed obediently, and after thinking about it, she reached out and turned off the light. As the light dimmed, the faint moonlight poured in like water. Shen Xi glanced at the curtains that she had just opened, and gave up her plan to pull them.
Li Mingxuan's voice came from the mobile phone, and the moonlight showed incomparable tenderness, "Turn off the lights?"
"Yeah!"
"Sleep."
"Yeah!"
Although the two of them seemed to have nothing to say here, neither of them showed any intention to hang up. Time passed by little by little, and Shen Xi unknowingly fell asleep. Hearing Shen Xi's soothing breathing coming from the opposite side, Li Mingxuan pressed the phone to his face, as if he could get closer to Shen Xi.
When the sky was bright, Shen Xi woke up. Although he didn't sleep for a long time, the feeling of reassurance surrounded him. Holding the quilt and turning over, a metallic object was suddenly pressed on the left side of his face. Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, and took it out. The mobile phone that caught his eye reminded him of everything that happened last night.
Shen Xi's eyes fell on the screen in front of her, the call time on it was still jumping a little bit, and she didn't hang up the phone all night. Shen Xi hesitated a little and said softly, "Cousin?"
He was just a test, but Li Mingxuan's voice came quickly, "I'm here!"
"Wake up?"
"Yeah!"
Li Mingxuan laughed softly and said softly, "It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Shen Xi held the phone and hesitated for a while, "I see, then I'll hang up."
"Good!"
The sound of beeping came from the receiver, Li Mingxuan leaned back on the back of the chair relaxedly, and spent the night in a small space. I just feel exhausted at this time. Leaving the phone aside, Li Mingxuan closed his eyes and imagined that Shen Xi was by his side now.
The surprise faded from the face, replaced by doubt, "Hey!"
"Where are you now?" Ye Han's lazy voice came out, not as if something was wrong.
Li Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The downstairs of Xiaoxi's house."
"What?" Ye Han suddenly gave a strange cry and hesitantly said, "Hey, you won't stay downstairs in Shen Xi all night, will you?"
"Yeah!"
"You're crazy!" Ye Han had only one thought.
Li Mingxuan rubbed his forehead and avoided the topic, "What happened so early?"
Since Li Mingxuan didn't want to mention it, Ye Han let him go and returned to the topic, "I received the information about Lu Gesen you want to check this morning, and I found an interesting thing, really It was so unexpected that I couldn't help but want to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Li Mingxuan cheered up.
Ye Han coughed lightly, "Lu Gesen's original name is not Lu Gesen, he should be Han Gesen, he is Han Yu's son, which means he is another cousin of Shen Xi."
"Hang Gesen!" Li Mingxuan sat up in astonishment, "Did you make a mistake? There is only one Han Gesen in this generation of the Han family, how could a Han Gesen suddenly appear."
"It's not wrong. I have the DNA identification of Lu Gesen and Han Yu in my hand. It's absolutely right that they are father and son."
Ye Han was obviously very sure, Li Mingxuan looked at the familiar window subconsciously. Thinking that Shen Xi avoided talking about Lu Gesen's identity that day, so Shen Xi already knew that Lu Gesen was his cousin, so he would protect him.
Ye Han seemed to be waiting for Li Mingxuan to digest the news. After a while, he continued, "Besides Lu Gesen, they also found another person."
"Who?"
"You can't think of it!" Ye Han's voice was a little weird, "Do you know who Lu Gesen has been receiving support for all these years?"
Listening to Ye Han's meaning, it seems that this person's identity is even more surprising, a figure suddenly flashed in Li Mingxuan's mind, and he blurted out, "Wang Changlin!"
"How do you know?" Ye Han shouted in disbelief.
Li Mingxuan muttered, "Is it true?"
Ye Han affirmed, "It's Wang Changlin, I can't think of it, it was originally Lu Gesen, but it turned out that Wang Changlin and Lu Gesen have been in close contact over the years. When Lu Gesen graduated from University, it was Wang Changlin who attended the graduation ceremony on behalf of the parents. It's just that the scope of their activities is abroad, and there is no clue in the country."
Li Mingxuan did not expect to find out such unexpected news. He thought that the news that Lu Gesen was Shen Xi's cousin was shocking enough, but he didn't expect Wang Changlin to be involved because of Lu Gesen. Who is Wang Changlin? He is his uncle's most trusted person and his uncle's personal lawyer. It can be said that he has mastered the core secrets of the Shen family, but now he can't be involved with Lu Gesen. Li Mingxuan faintly noticed something, "Do you have Wang Changlin's detailed information?" shuxiangmendi "Yes, but it is fake. They found that Wang Changlin's information before the age of 25 was all fake, and they are investigating further."
"I see, I'll be back soon."
Hang up the phone, Li Mingxuan frowned slightly, Wang Changlin, Han family, Shen family, Lu Gesen and Shen Xi, there seems to be a thread strung together.
