| ← Ch.1861 | Ch.1863 → |
Li Liang was not as thin as he seemed. He was practically skin and bones.
A few months ago, not only was Li Liang not thin, he even had a small belly.
But right now, Li Liang looked just like a sick ghost. It was really a bit scary.
A Ling and Shen Yuan exchanged glances with tacit understanding before shifting their gazes.
Li Liang obviously didn't feel right, but if he didn't want to say it, they wouldn't ask.
Killers.
Few are warm-hearted.
As long as it didn't involve the safety of their family, no one would meddle in their business.
Sure enough, Li Liang hid the truth and said to Shen Congchen: "I'm fine, I'm losing weight!" "In the past when I was in school, you all said that I was too fat to be handsome. If I don't take advantage of this period of time when there's nothing else to do, then I will hurry up and lose weight."
"You lost weight? How is this losing weight? It's clearly losing weight, isn't it? "You can't be sucking??" Shen Congchen was immediately cut off by Li Liang."Look at me, why are you guys standing here talking?" Come on, let's go to my villa. When we get to Yongcheng, don't be courteous to me, just treat it as your home."
After saying that, Li Liang pulled Shen Congchen into the car and directed them to the villa area in the east district.
The east district was an area that Yongcheng had been developing for a long time in recent years. After so many years, the villa area of the east district, which originally belonged to the suburbs, was now included within the city's scope.
Therefore, the value of this villa area had naturally risen greatly. It had become a wealthy area that ordinary people could not even compare to.
Li Liang's villa was located at the side of the villa. Although the area was not large, the location was good, so it was quite convenient to travel.
"My dad rewarded me when I was admitted to university." Li Liang opened the door, and introduced A Ling to Shen Congchen and Shen Yuan: "Although it's not very big, the environment is still good. Please don't be polite with me, just let me know if you need anything."
Shen Congchen had a simple nature, and his thoughts were simple as well. Seeing Li Liang say this, he immediately beamed with joy and said: "Good heavens, this is my first time coming to your house!" I didn't expect your family's conditions to be so good."
Shen Yuan shook his head and laughed.
This cousin of his was simply amazing.
It was as if the Fourth Uncle and the Fourth Aunt had treated him badly.
The Shen family's house was much more valuable than this villa.
However, the cousin would naturally not expose the truth. He picked out a room with A Ling and said to Li Liang: "Then we won't be courteous anymore.
"Don't mention it. If you need anything, just say so." Li Liang hastily said.
Looking at the time, it was already time for lunch.
Li Liang didn't take them out for a meal. Instead, he called the family chef over and made them a table full of delicacies.
The four of them sat at the dining table and toasted. Shen Congchen excitedly said, "Li Liang, I'm relieved to see that you're fine. I thought something has happened to you recently!" If you have nothing else to do, would you like to take the postgraduate exam? "
"No, I came back this time to inherit my family business." Li Liang immediately refused and said, "You should study well. When you were in university, you knew that you liked studying hard. I can't compare to you in that."I think I'd better be a merchant who stinks of copper."
Shen Congchen laughed and said: "I'm relieved to see you so humorous."
Shen Yuan lowered his eyebrows.
Relax?
On the contrary, I'm afraid.
Although Li Liang had been enduring it, he had never forgotten about Li Liang's painful eyes from time to time.
If he didn't guess wrongly, Li Liang's body was suffering so much that he was about to be unable to go out.
The fact that he was able to endure such great pain while acting as if nothing had happened was obviously very important.
It was so important that it exceeded his life.
After they finished eating, Li Liang suggested that they rest for the time being and left first.
Once Li Liang left, Shen Congchen spoke to Shen Yuan: "It's good to see that he's alright. You said you don't need to lose weight, right? This was going too far! He's already scrawny like a skeleton, no way! I have to advise him not to have such a deformed look."
A Ling could not hold it in and burst out laughing: "This is not simply caused by losing weight."
Seeing that A Ling had pointed it out, Shen Yuan also said: "This classmate of yours probably has some difficulties, to the point that he had to endure pain all day to get back at you. If I'm not mistaken, he's in the car right now and didn't even get home before giving himself a painkiller shot."
Shen Congchen was stupefied."How is this possible? "Why?!"
"If I'm not wrong, his body is riddled with wounds from the radiation. No matter how good the rescue is, I'm afraid he won't live past the age of 40." A Ling continued to speak: "The speed at which he is wasting right now just proves the speed at which his body is collapsing. If we do not undergo emergency treatment, I'm afraid we will be in danger even at the age of thirty."
"Radiation?" Shen Congchen looked at A Ling in a daze: "Sister-in-law, why don't I understand what you mean?"
"You know what sort of city Yongcheng is, right?" Shen Yuan patted the top of his cousin's head, "When you were at school, teacher had taught you that mines should have radiation in them, right?"
Shen Congchen finally understood."Are you saying that Li Liang became like this because he suffered from some form of radiation?" No, no, no, how could that be possible? His family was so wealthy that they didn't even need him to mine! "How did you get in touch with these?"
"Sometimes you don't need to go to the mine." Shen Yuan said indifferently: "The children of the Wealthy Class set each other up for murder, is that not rare? Merely, they used a more convenient method."
A Ling opened his mouth and said: "Rumor has it that there was an emperor in one of the dynasties who especially doted on a concubine. This concubine was pregnant, and the Emperor was overjoyed. He gave her all kinds of precious treasures. Thus, the other concubines fawningly gave him a jade pillow, saying that it was able to beauty his face and calm his mind. This beloved concubine had always been with him, always with him, day and night. Finally, one day, the child was born."But this concubine gave birth to a monster??"
Shen Congchen seemed to be in a dream as he spoke, "There's something wrong with that jade pillow."
"Yes, that jade pillow is rich in a radioactive mineral that has a teratogenic effect. Because she loved him, this concubine never left him. The mineral has a subtle effect on the child in the womb. Thus, on the night that the concubine gave birth to the monster, she was executed secretly by the empress dowager. Such a scandal is not allowed in the royal family." A Ling finished his story: "Li Liang probably knows very well what happened to him, which is why he was busy treating me and did not have the time to look for you."
Shen Congchen felt as if his three views of the world had shattered into pieces.
