Chapter 229 Mud
The original intention of inviting Li Chengan to dinner at home was to increase communication between the two brothers, but unexpectedly, in the end, the sister was in conflict with him for the entire meal.
The two of them were either fighting over a chicken wing or a shrimp. Li Cheng'an always pretended to provoke them and then deliberately gave up.
The relationship between the two people, who were originally silent, seemed to have eased a little because of this interaction.
The approach was childish, but it was indeed effective. Ni Jia observed silently for a while and found that Li Yucheng did not stop him.
After the meal, Li Chengan answered a phone call in the living room. Although there were only a few words, it was not difficult to guess who was on the other end of the phone.
"I'll bring it to you when I come back."
"Yeah, almost."
Seeing that people were about to leave, Ni Jia became a little anxious. He nudged Li Yucheng with his elbow, motioning him to come over and talk, and not to sit there with such a blank expression.
Li Yucheng put away his phone. He did have something to ask, so he gave Li Chengan a look and the two of them went to the back garden.
Seeing the pond full of koi and so many professional equipment, Li Cheng'an sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey, brother, are you going to develop aquaculture?" He bent down and fiddled with his hands in the pond.
It happened that the fish had not been fed yet today. Li Yucheng took out the can of fish food, but just as he opened it, Li Chengan snatched it away: "Let me try."
"Spread out." Li Yucheng glanced at him and finally let him go.
"I know. I'm not stupid." Li Cheng'an grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it like spreading a net. The originally calm fish pond immediately began to move.
Those fish rushed to grab the food one after another, and the three red and white koi that came later were basically indistinguishable in size.
Li Cheng'an was scattering fish around the pond, and he was getting more and more happy. Li Yucheng estimated that he had thrown enough fish, so he took the fish food can away.
The other party clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that some people died? Why are there more now?"
After Li Yucheng put the jar away, he turned around and glanced at him: "You are well-informed."
"That's it," Li Cheng'an washed his hands and pointed at the surveillance camera in the corner of his eye, then smiled and said, "I hacked this thing. You don't know, right?"
Knowing that he was joking, Li Yucheng didn't care. Over the years, he had cleaned up a lot of messes for Li Chengan.
No matter how awkward the argument between the two of them is, or how harsh the words they say to each other, the next time they meet, the other will still call him brother.
Even though he called him casually and didn't sound sincere, Li Yucheng knew in his heart that every time he called him "brother", it was Li Chengan asking for peace.
If you don't mean that, you will be like him, calling the other person by their name and not willing to introduce yourself in front of outsiders.
Li Cheng'an never seriously argued with him about dismissal and suspension, otherwise the Li family would not be so peaceful.
He didn't know whether Li Cheng'an really didn't care or for some other reason.
"Ni Chang is with you."
"Hush..." Li Cheng'an glanced at the glass door and said with a sly smile, "Sister-in-law will be unhappy to hear you like this."
"This time the entanglement is a bit long, which is not like your style."
There was no sign of joking on Li Yucheng's face. Li Chengan also realized this and sneered.
"You also want to control me when I play with women?"
"Anyone can do it, but she can't." Li Yucheng said bluntly: "You should know your grandmother's attitude, and I don't need to emphasize it."
"Anyone is fine?" Li Chengan sneered, "Then I'll marry Shen Chuyao?"
"As long as Grandmother agrees."
The grandmother had plans for her grandson's wife, so it was impossible that she would be such a dishonest and scheming woman.
Li Yucheng said this, but in fact he was certain that Shen Chuyao had no chance in the old lady's heart.
"You shouldn't care who I marry, right? After all, we only see each other a few times a year, right, brother?"
"It won't bother you, don't worry."
His trouser legs rubbed against the rocks and were stained with dust. Li Cheng'an bent down and patted them. When he stood up again, he found that Li Yucheng was staring at him with his eyes half-closed and his expression was not very good.
"I'll say it again, Ni Chang can't do it."
"What if I insist?" Li Cheng'an held his hips and smiled: "What can you do to me?"
Li Yucheng chuckled as if he had heard a ridiculous joke, picked up a leaf and twisted it with his fingertips.
His action gave Li Cheng'an the illusion that the person was actually pinching him or Ni Chang.
"If the target is her, there is no need for me to touch you. After all, you can't even get married with a baby, so you don't pose any threat."
"Grandma is old, I'm just advising you not to do that."
Li Yucheng rubbed the leaves until water came out of them. In response to his brother's warning, Li Cheng'an calmly withdrew his gaze and looked towards the lake.
"I never take advice."
"You're right, then I can only take action against her." Li Cheng'an frowned and turned his gaze again, watching his brother speak in a light tone, which occasionally made him so angry that his teeth itched.
"The bankruptcy of the Ni Corporation was expected. I can make her resent you from now on."
"Do you think Shen Penghai has no grudge against her?" Li Chengan sneered, "If you hadn't appeared, how could she have gotten rid of Shen Penghai?"
"Brother, don't make yourself sound so innocent. Many things are because of you. You are the most hateful person."
Li Yucheng did not respond immediately, and the atmosphere remained quiet for a few seconds. He put his hands in his pockets, clenched his fists slightly, and looked at a koi fish in the distance.
"You shouldn't take out your hatred for me on other people."
"Ni Jia can forgive you, but Ni Chang can't."
"If you hadn't protected her, I would have made her pay a greater price."
"Like you said, we only see each other a few times a year," he paused, "Don't make things worse."
Li Chengan's eyes twitched slightly because of his brother's words. He asked with amusement, "Can things get worse between us?"
"What?" He took a step closer, his tone mocking, "Are you planning to throw me abroad again?"
"Don't be so soft-hearted," he smiled, "Why don't you just kill me? That would be more thorough."
The word "death" suddenly made Li Yucheng's heart shrink. Perhaps his brother didn't know that he had had this thought when he was very young.
If he hadn't lifted the blanket, it would have been much easier to do things today.
"No matter what you're thinking about," Li Yucheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he tried to steady his trembling voice, "If you have anything to say, just come to me."
Li Chengan poked his shoulder hard and said word by word: "Let's encourage each other!"
The conversation ended unpleasantly. Looking at Li Chengan's back as he slammed the door and left, Li Yucheng thought that he might have let Ni Jia down.
There was no way he could give in on Ni Chang's matter. Judging from Ni Jia's signs of being soft-hearted, she was very likely to compromise for him.
Li Yucheng didn't want to make Ni Jia feel embarrassed about this matter. Anyway, his relationship with Li Chengan was a mess to begin with.
