Chapter 478: The Foundation of Existence(1/2)
This is no longer the Peking in Luo Lie's memory. In fact, he is trying to close the memories of the past. This is already a brand new world, an era that does not belong to him. The old house left by the sparrow is now valuable. Before her death, she entrusted Lu Jianyang to leave this courtyard to Luo Lie. Only Luo Lie knew the story about this courtyard.
The door was locked, which made Luo Lie feel. When he opened the door, he saw that the yard was quite clean. Sparrow came here twice a year during his lifetime. Of course, except for when she came, he would ask someone to clean it. Everything was maintained as the layout of the past.
Ma Boxuan left many books, and later Mahou added some more. Although the house maintained its past appearance, the pipeline lines were renovated and air conditioners were added.
Luo Lie knew that the sparrow would not leave a house for him for no reason, so he carefully searched for the bookshelf.
Lingeni went to settle her luggage and clean the room. Before she arrived, Luo Lie decided to stay here for a while.
While tidying up the sparrow's room, Lin Genie found some letters that she had not had time to send. The envelope was very good. After looking at the date, it should have been written by the sparrow half a month before her death. It seemed that she had been here before her death and lived here for a while.
Luo Lie searched through the bookshelf but found nothing. He heard that Lin Geni had found some letters. Luo Lie came to the sparrow's room and looked at the letters. He couldn't help but hesitate. All the letters were blocked, and the letter addresses were somewhere in Huangpu.
Luo Lie is very familiar with this address because it is his and Ye Qinghong's old house. After he came to this era, Luo Lie had been to his old house, which no longer existed.
Luo Lie looked at the stack of letters for a long time and thought about it before he opened the earliest letter according to the date.
Hello Luo Lie:
When you see this letter, I think I am no longer alive. I have always wanted to say something to you, but it is better to be silent after repeated consideration. I used all my relationships to ask you if I could find the way home, but in the end I was fruitless. I don’t want you to despair, but the reality is always so cruel...
This letter only wrote these and then stopped continuing. Luo Lie opened the second letter.
Hello Luo Lie:
I have countless words in my heart to say to you, but when I pick up the pen, I have the idea of cherishing words and gold. Should I explain the truth to you? I have concealed something about your family, and you have never asked you actively. Time cannot be reversed. After all, what happened has become a fact. If you accept the reality of staying in this world forever, then you can open the third letter...
Luo Lie put down the letter and picked up the third letter, which had not been opened for a long time.
Lingeni looked at him silently, Luo Lie's expression was unprecedentedly heavy, and his eyes were full of hesitation. Finally, Luo Lie chose to give up. He took out the lighter and chose to burn all the letters to ashes.
Although he did not read the specific content in the letter, he was able to infer that what the Sparrow said in the letter was about his family, and it was probably a reality that he could not accept.
Luo Lie is not lacking in courage, but he cannot be sure whether he can still maintain a calm mind after learning about what happened to his family. Although everything has happened and everything has become a fact, if what Sparrow wants to tell him is a tragedy, will he regret his life because of his original choice?
Will definitely!
Maybe his choice was wrong from the beginning.
Lin Geni went to get a broom and cleaned the ashes silently. Luo Lie opened the window to let the fireworks in the room dissipate out. Another cigarette was lit, looking at the red maple outside the window shivering in the autumn wind. When Lin Geni returned behind him, Luo Lie said: "I want to go back."
Lingeni nodded: "I know."
Luo Lie said: "Actually, I have not changed anything, the only thing that has changed is myself!" He rubbed his hair in pain.
Lin Geni hugged him from behind and comforted softly: "I can definitely go back. Since the Nine Cauldrons can open the door of time and space, I will definitely be able to open the second time."
Luo Lie shook his head. The sparrow had been inspecting the West Sea for many years and found no trace of the Nine Tripods. She once told herself with certainty that after his and Feng Jiuqing's experience, the Nine Tripods had magically disappeared.
Luo Lie also dreamed of the scene of the broken Nine Cauldrons countless times in his dream, and there may be signs in the dark.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and Lin Geni and Luo Lie looked at each other, and both of them were a little surprised. After all, they had just arrived here, and they did not alarm any outsiders.
Lingeni whispered, “I’ll go and open the door.”
Luo Lie nodded.
Lin Geni came outside the door and opened the small window on the door. Outside was a gentle young man. He smiled at Lin Geni and said, "Hello, is Mr. Luo here?"
Lingeni said: "You are..." She was very strange inside. After all, they had just arrived here and their whereabouts were revealed. Could it be Lu Jianyang? She quickly denied this speculation. Lu Jian threatened to do what he said. Since he said he would not bother them anymore, he should not do this.
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Shen Wangyou, and someone entrusted me to send a letter."
Lin Geni took the letter from the window, and Shen Wangyou said goodbye and left.
When he returned to the room, he saw Luo Lie still sitting there in a daze. Lin Geni quietly put the letter aside. Luo Lie said, "What's the matter?"
Lingeni said: "There is a man named Shen Wangyou outside who sent a letter to someone."
Luo Lie was shocked when he heard this. Shen Wangyou? Could it be his father? He shouted: "Where is the sender?"
Lingeni said: "It should have been gone."
Luo Lie didn't bother to explain, got up and chased after him. When he came outside, he could see Shen Wangyou's figure.
Lin Geni also chased after him, and saw Luo Lie's abnormal appearance and guessed that something must have happened.
Luo Lie opened the letter, and only contained an invitation in the envelope, but it was a dinner party at Genting Hotel tonight. The invitation was written with Luo Lie's name, but there was no invitation. There was an invitation code on it, which should have been scanned.
Lingeni didn't know if she had done something wrong and whispered: "Should I leave him behind?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "There should be a chance to meet again." He put the invitation away.
Lingeni said: "I only invite you one?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Maybe everything is about to come to light."
Lingeni said: "I'll go with you."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "No, you stay at home and wait for me to come back."
Lingeni held his hand and said, "Be careful."
Luo Lie gently patted her pretty face and smiled and said, "Don't worry."
The security check at this mysterious dinner at Genting Hotel was very strict. Even if Luo Lie agreed to bring Lin Geni to come, she could not enter without the invitation code. Luo Lie passed the security check in front of the hotel. He specially changed into a black suit, trimmed his hair, shaved his beard, and was full of energy and grace.
Each guest has a special leader. Luo Lie's leader is a beautiful blonde girl. Luo Lie said on the way: "Who is the owner tonight?"
The girl smiled but did not answer Luo Lie's question.
Luo Lie did not continue to ask, it seemed that the mysterious inviter wanted to keep this sense of mystery until the end.
When he arrived at the rotating hall on the top floor of Genting Hotel and walked into it with the girl, Luo Lie saw a familiar face. Adiana Tingting, wearing a black evening dress, walked towards him and smiled and said, "Mr. Luo is here, I thought you wouldn't come."
Luo Lie nodded politely to her, saying hello. It turned out that the host of this dinner was Long Tianxin. In fact, Luo Lie speculated that Long Tianxin was included, but he did not expect Long Tianxin to be so bold. He dared to hold an event in Peking so soon after stealing the secret information of the base. Does she think she could be fearless if she gained support from the North American government?
Adianna said: "There are many guests tonight, and I still have a lot to do."
Luo Lie smiled indifferently and said, "You go and do your business."
Adianna said: "By the way, I will introduce you to a friend." She took Luo Lie to a girl in white standing in front of the window looking out at the night view: "Miss Luo!"
The girl in white turned around, and Luo Lie was stunned when she saw her appearance. The girl in front of her turned out to be his mother Shen Jiaqi, but Adianna called her Miss Luo. Luo Lie believed that all this should not be a coincidence.
Luo Jiaqi saw Luo Lie's stunned look and couldn't help laughing: "What? You don't know me anymore? Did you lose my things and feel embarrassed to see me?" Her words meant indirectly admitting that she was the nun in white that Luo Lie met in Europe.
Luo Lie laughed, and he took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with the mother of Girls' Generation. This feeling was very wonderful. He smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, that thing was given to me by Miss Luo."
Luo Jiaqi said: "I didn't say you don't need to do it."
Adianna said: "You guys are chatting, I'll go and greet other guests."
Luo Lie ordered two glasses of red wine, and handed one of them to Luo Jiaqi. He raised his glass and said, "For our reunion."
Luo Jiaqi touched his wine glasses, looked around and said, "Where is Lin Geni?"
Luo Lie said: "She has not received the invitation."
Luo Jiaqi nodded.
Luo Lie said: "Actually, I don't know who the host of tonight's banquet is until now?"
Luo Jiaqi laughed. She was about to speak when a voice rang behind them: "Jiaqi, so you are here, I'm looking for you everywhere."
When Luo Lie saw the visitor, he became excited again because the visitor was Shen Wangyou. His father saw his parents standing together in his youth, Luo Lie was filled with mixed feelings for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Shen Wangyou looked at Luo Lie, obviously a little alert: "This one is..."
Luo Lie laughed secretly in his heart. Didn’t his father misunderstand himself and regarded himself as an imaginary enemy? He smiled and said, “Don’t you know me? It was you who gave me an invitation.”
Only then did Shen Wangyou know who he was and apologized: "It turns out to be Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry."
Luo Lie deliberately said to Luo Jiaqi: "Miss Luo, is this your boyfriend?"
Luo Jiaqi's pretty face turned red, she shook her head and said, "You misunderstood. We are colleagues, and his name is Chen Wangyou."
Chen Wangyou also laughed, but when he saw Luo Jiaqi's gaze clearly showed unconcealed love.
Luo Liedao: "Is Mr. Chen a pastor or a priest?"
Chen Wangyou was stunned by Luo Lie's questioning. Luo Jiaqi naturally understood Luo Lie's intention to say this. She smiled and said, "None of them are."
Chen Wangyou said, "It seems you have known each other for a long time."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I have known each other for a long time. In fact, I have been famous for Mr. Chen for a long time."
Chen Wangyou smiled and said, "I don't have any fame." To him, Luo Lie was just being polite to him. How could he know that Luo Lie was actually telling the truth. The three of them were actually a family. Luo Lie looked at his parents when he was young, and there was a warm current in his heart. His greatest hope since childhood was to be with his parents, and the family sat with beautiful people, and reunited like other ordinary families. But he didn't expect that their reunion would be in this way, in such an era.
Although he was unable to reveal the truth when facing these parents, he was still a little warm to him.
Adianna walked over from the crowd and said to Luo Lie: "Mr. Luo, I will take you to meet someone."
Luo Lie had already guessed who the person he was going to meet was. Long Tianxin did not appear at the dinner scene. She was in the president's office of the Genting Hotel, watching the scene of the reception through the surveillance screen. Adianna brought Luo Lie here and left immediately.
Long Tianxin was wearing a long red dress, charming and beautiful, but in Luo Lie's eyes, this beautiful appearance belongs to Yan Tianxin, and this beautiful body accommodates a vicious soul like a poisonous snake.
Long Tianxin said: "If I had stated on the invitation that I was the master behind the scenes, would you come?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I will come."
Long Tianxin smiled and said, "Don't you hate me?"
Luo Lie said: "I will not waste my feelings for someone like you."
