Chapter 784 - 784 Rebellion
784 Rebellion
Li Kuo got even angrier. He pushed Bu Mo out and closed the door.
Bu Mo was anxious. “Young Master, you have to eat. What if you starve and hurt your body?”
Li Kuo panted in anger. He didn’t say anything he liked to hear. Eat, eat, eat. How could he eat? He was already so old, but he still couldn’t leave the house. He didn’t have any freedom at all. He wasn’t as carefree and free as Miss Zhao. How could he still be in the mood to eat?
He was furious.
!!
Li Kuo lay on the couch gloomily and sulked. He thought to himself that if only he was good at martial arts and could fly away as easily as Su Xiaolu.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t. All he felt was the weight of his body. It was impossible for him to fly away so lightly in this life.
No, he couldn’t give up like this.
He had to find a way out.
His parents made up their minds and the guards were very strict. Bu Mo, who had been accompanying him, did not understand him at all. The more Li Kuo thought about it, the more depressed he became. His heart seemed to be blocked by something. He felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
Li Kuo’s refusal to eat worried Master Li and Madam Chu.
However, they were all unanimous in their decision that they could not let Li Kuo go out. Otherwise, he would fall deeper and deeper into distress. After this battle, Li Kuo would naturally slowly calm down.
That Miss Zhao was not like their son at all.
They had only known each other for a few days, but he had already done so much for her. If they understood each other better and liked each other, who knew what would happen?
He couldn’t see her. Definitely not.
When Li Hai returned, the first thing the servant said was about Li Kuo.
Li Hai’s wife, Madam Yu, said gently to him, “It’s human nature for Father and Mother to be worried about Second Brother. Second Brother is stubborn. He has his own persistence when he grows up. It’s human nature for him not to lower his head. Fortunately, you’re back.”
Li Hai smiled. “I’ll go see him.”
Madam Yu nodded. Recently, her parents-in-law had been very hurt because of her brother-in-law. However, they refused to agree to Li Kuo’s decision, causing Li Kuo to be unwilling to listen to any of them.
How could his body withstand it if he didn’t eat or drink? As parents, whose heart wouldn’t ache when they saw this?
Actually, it was not wrong for Li Kuo to have his own stubbornness. It was not wrong for his parents to be worried about him. It was just that their thoughts were different. As Li Kuo’s brother, Li Hai, he was the hope of the entire family. After all, Li Kuo had respected his brother since he was young. His brother’s words could always convince him.
When Li Hai went to see Li Kuo, Madam Chu and Patriarch Li were relieved.
They quickly prepared some food and got Li Hai to bring it in.
Li Hai knocked on the door and said calmly, “Open the door. It’s me.”
When Li Kuo heard his brother’s voice, he immediately opened the door.
After Li Hai entered, he closed the door. The brothers looked at each other. Li Kuo said awkwardly, “If Big Brother came to persuade me because of this, then Big Brother doesn’t have to say anything. I don’t want to hear it.”
Li Hai smiled and opened the food box. He placed the food out one by one and said slowly, “Eat first. After eating, I’ll allow you to go out.”
Li Kuo’s eyes widened in surprise. He asked in disbelief, “Really?”
His parents wouldn’t allow it no matter what, and the servants were keeping a close eye on him. He thought that his eldest brother was also here to persuade him. He thought that his eldest brother would give many long speeches. He had already thought about it and refused to compromise. He didn’t expect his eldest brother to break the dam with just one sentence.
Li Hai smiled. “It’s truer than a pearl. Eat quickly. You haven’t starved since you were young. You haven’t eaten for the past two days, you must be starving. You must be feeling unwell. Seriously, you still have to eat a little. How can you ruin your body like this?”
“Tell me, what kind of woman is she? Father and Mother have chosen countless women for you, but I’ve never seen you like them. What kind of woman can make you like this after only knowing her for a few days?”
Li Hai picked up his bowl and chopsticks and set up the dishes. He ate with Li Kuo as he asked him.
Li Kuo had an appet.i.te. He would always believe his brother’s words. His brother would not lie to him.
After eating, he took a few bites before saying to Li Hai, “Brother, Miss Zhao is very special. The first time I saw her was in a restaurant. She and many people from the Yang family’s Escort Agency were drinking and eating meat together. They were especially accompanying her. She’s very good-looking. Her eyes are as bright as the stars. With just one look, I fell in love with her. It was love at first sight.”
“I immediately wanted to get to know her at all costs and drink and eat with her. Later, when she was about to leave, I felt that if I let her leave just like that, we probably wouldn’t see each other for the rest of our lives. Therefore, I invited her to our house to stay temporarily. I asked her if she came to Changzhou for anything. I could help her find out. She probably saw that I was quite well off, so she agreed to my invitation.”
“Miss Zhao likes the smelly stones in the strange lake. That day, during the day, I brought her to look for them. She also knows medicine. When she p.r.i.c.ked me, I couldn’t smell the stench anymore. She even went into the water. She’s especially good at swimming and can hold her breath for fifteen minutes. Later, when she came out, we went back. I couldn’t sleep at night and saw her fly out of the courtyard. I couldn’t control myself and followed her.”
“When I arrived at the lake, it was cold and empty. However, my intuition told me that she was there, so I took a boat to the center of the lake and waited for her to come out to give her a surprise. Then, the surface of the lake turned upside down. Something stirred and I lost my balance and fell in. It was also Miss Zhao who saved me. When I woke up and saw the snake, I was so frightened that I fainted again. I felt very ashamed. How could Miss Zhao be so good and powerful? Moreover, Miss Zhao has superpowers. On the way back, she even helped me clean up. Actually, I was awake at that time, but I didn’t dare to open my eyes.”
“I wanted to calm down, but who knew that mother would actually make her leave? We haven’t even said goodbye yet. Brother, it’s true that I like Miss Zhao, but I also know that it’s impossible between us. I just want to say goodbye to her in person now. Father and Mother didn’t agree and said that it was all for my own good. I know that they’re afraid that I’ll fall deeper, and I know it myself, but if I don’t say goodbye, it’ll be even harder for me to let go.”
Li Kuo spat out all the sorrow he had been holding in for many days.
Li Hai only listened quietly. He was a very good listener.
After hearing this, he smiled and said, “I’ll handle Father and Mother. After dinner, I’ll help you disguise yourself. You can leave the residence. I’ll naturally help you do the other explanations.”
Li Hai didn’t say many pompous words to show that he understood. He used his actions without even explaining anything else.
Li Kuo was extremely touched. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and gave Li Hai a big hug.
“Brother, you’re really the best brother. No one understands me…”
Li Kuo choked. If he wasn’t already 20 years old, he would really cry out loud. At this moment, his mood was similar to a flood. What touched him the most was that his brother could withstand all the floods he released.
