Chapter 555: Chapter 554 I Want to Kill Him with My Own Hands.
The cafe was playing a soothing and soft piano lody, intermingled with the faint scent of coffee.
Scattered in various corners were groups of three to five people, so drinking coffee while tapping away on their laptops, others sitting by the window gazing quietly outside, enjoying the leisurely afternoon.
Ding ding ding.
The glass door was pushed open, and the wind chi hanging on it made a cheerful sound.
A few custors turned their heads to look and their faces revealed a hint of amazent.
Standing at the doorway was a girl in a white dress, with a fair and pleasing appearance, wearing a sun hat that hid her soft long hair, revealing her long, fair neck.
The girl took off her sun hat, letting her soft black hair cascade over her shoulders like a waterfall.
That distinct youthful aura unique to young won caused the few young n in the cafe to show looks of admiration.
The girl’s lively eyes scanned the cafe, then she turned to the door and waved. Soon, a slim young man erged into the cafe.
The few young n were instantly heartbroken, and they turned back to their previous activities with renewed vigor, those typing on their keyboards, and those watching outside, mastering their deanor with precision, becoming the epito of the cafe’s top atmosphere-setters.
Li Yiming stood beside Li Yiren, reluctantly, his comfort in his current social zone made him very resistant to his sister’s insistence on introducing him to a friend.
He would have preferred to spend that ti bonding with his pet beast.
Perhaps sensing his displeasure, Li Yiren moved closer and whispered behind her sun hat, “Hey, stop sulking. If you don’t want to talk later, just sit there and keep quiet, I’ll handle it.”
‘What’s the difference between being here or not?’
Li Yiming thought to himself but kept quiet.
“Little sister?”
Just then, a hearty male voice called out from a nearby corner.
Li Yiming followed the voice and saw a well-built man with a rugged face waving at them.
The man had neatly cropped hair, and he seed to be about their age. He was montarily stunned when he saw Li Yiming but soon flashed a hearty smile, giving off an approachable vibe.
Li Yiren took a deep breath and instinctively held onto Li Yiming’s arm, “Let’s go over.”
Li Yiming wasn’t used to this gesture; he was about to pull away when he noticed that Li Yiren was holding him very tightly, apparently very nervous. Considering she hadn’t taken the initiative to hold his hand since junior high, he hesitated briefly then let her be.
The man approached them cordially as they walked over, “Little brother, little sister, you’ve made a trip in such hot weather; co, sit down and enjoy the air conditioning.”
Both siblings felt sowhat uncomfortable with his warmth, but Li Yiren nodded slightly and pulled Li Yiming to sit down.
The man sat opposite them, looked at Li Yiren, then at Li Yiming, and his face beca even more warm and hearty, “I’ve already t the little sister, so I presu you must be Li Yiming?”
Li Yiming nodded at him, then looked at Li Yiren, puzzled.
Before Li Yiren could say anything, the man extended his right hand to Li Yiming, “Nice to et you, I’m Li Taixuan, my father and your father…uh, which is to say your father and him are biological brothers.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yiming’s hand twitched and he turned sharply to look at Li Taixuan.
As their eyes t, the usually timid Li Yiming did not avoid Li Taixuan’s gaze, his hand under the table trembled slightly, but he did not extend it for a handshake.
Seeing this, Li Yiren hastily said, “Li… Brother Li, may I ask why you’ve asked us here today?”
“I told you several tis already, just call Fifth Brother,” Li Taixuan casually withdrew his hand, took out two mobile phones and two black cards from his pocket, pushed them across the table with his slender fingers, “Rember what I told you last ti? Grandpa was very happy to learn you both also got the qualifications for the competition. These two items are gifts from the old man for you both.”
Li Yiren looked at the phones and cards in front of her, tempted, but when she saw Li Yiming’s indifferent expression, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Seeing this, Li Taixuan laughed heartily, “We’re all family, no need to be so formal. This is a token from Grandpa and your Fifth Brother…”
Squeak—
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yiming suddenly rose to his feet, the stool scraping the floor with a grating noise, attracting displeased looks from custors in the distance.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li, but we have neither a grandfather nor a fifth brother,” he said, then turned around instantly, “Yiren, let’s go.”
Li Taixuan hurriedly stood up to retain him, “Little brother, a grandfather is still a grandfather, after all, you…”
Li Yiming’s footsteps halted. He took a deep breath, turned his head to Li Yiren, and said, without a doubt, “Let’s go.”
Li Yiren flashed an apologetic smile at the sowhat awkward Li Taixuan, took her sun hat and bag, and quickly followed Li Yiming.
Ding ding ding.
The glass door was pushed open forcefully; the usually calm sound of the wind chis lost its serenity.
“Fuck!”
Watching the glass door swing back and forth, Li Taixuan cursed under his breath, then sat back down irritably and took a big gulp of his coffee.
Crack!
The delicate coffee cup shattered on the floor. Li Taixuan spat out the coffee from his mouth, “What the hell kind of coffee is this, so bitter!”
“Sir…” The sweet-looking waitress watched him timidly. The few people in the café looked over with disgust and quickly gathered their belongings to leave.
Li Taixuan tugged at his collar and snapped at the waitress standing beside him, “Get lost!”
After the waitress left in tears, he was the only one remaining in the large café.
“True wisdom is not rely to be wise in one’s own eyes; the wisdom of humility is the greatest wisdom. True courage is not rely to be brave in one’s own eyes; the courage of humility is the greatest courage.”
“Little Fifth, if Grandfather saw this behavior, he would be very disappointed.”
A hoarse voice spoke, and a person dressed in an oversized hooded sweatshirt sat across from him. The person wore a hat, covering most of their face, making it impossible to discern their features.
“Disappointed?” Li Taixuan glanced at the bandaged right hand of the newcor, his bravado slightly subdued, but his tone still carried a hint of mockery, “He’s been disappointed with since I got you out.”
The person did not argue upon hearing him speak, and after a brief pause, said, “It seems that trying to find out about that person through the two bastards is not working. I’ll be leaving first.”
Li Taixuan wished to say sothing but hesitated; in the end, he clenched his teeth and said, “Elder sister, why don’t you make ands with Grandfather? He loves you so much, he will definitely let you co back ho.”
“Co back ho?”
The person repeated the phrase with a hoarse voice, her body suddenly shaking.
She abruptly lifted her head, a mad eye visible beneath the shadow of the hat.
Hiss—
The bandages on the right hand unraveled layer by layer, revealing the dry, blackened hand beneath. She stared dead at Li Taixuan, her hoarse voice filled with Madness, “I can’t wait another mont. I need to find him, I want to kill him with my own hands.”
“I will return everything he did to , tenfold, a hundredfold.”
Watching his elder sister look as if possessed by demons, Li Taixuan was enveloped by a chill, and he whispered timidly, “But… but we don’t even know where he is right now?”
Li Fangyan looked at him for a mont and then slowly stood up.
She bent down and wrapped the bandages back around her hand, then turned her head to look in the direction of the center of the capital.
“There will be an opportunity, very soon…”
(PS: After so much foreshadowing, the curtain is finally about to rise. I only hope that I, a weakling, can write this grand plot well. I’ve been a salted fish for so long, updates will resu tomorrow, love you all, muah~)
