Revenge of the Garfield - CH 36

Today’s dinner at Li’s house was very lively. In addition to Zhu Kai’s return, Li Zhentai and Wen Chun finished their dinner and were now sitting on the sofa and discussing with Li Jianglin about ordering the banquet.

Li Zhenran was asked by Li Jianglin to stay on the first floor, and at the same time was instructed to make a call regarding the banquet.

Li Jianglin wanted Li Zhentai and the others to set the wedding banquet at Wanfulai Restaurant. This was an old restaurant with a history of nearly 100 years. Not to mention the price, it was too difficult to book a banquet for next month at this time. Li Zhentai called to ask, and the boss said that all the good days in almost half a year were fully booked.

Li Jianglin knew that Li Zhenran had a wider network of contacts than Li Zhentai, so he asked Li Zhenran to go out and find someone to see if he could book the wedding banquet next month.

So for more than half an hour, Li Zhenruo saw Li Zhenran staying alone in the dining room and was constantly on the phone.

To be honest, he felt that Li Jianglin was making it too difficult for Li Zhenran for the sake of Li Zhentai’s wedding.

The only person in the family who didn’t come back for dinner was Li Zhenzi.

Wen Chun sat with an elegant posture and a gentle attitude. Although all of the matters were cumbersome, she did not show any impatience in front of Li Jianglin.

Zhu Kai sat down but couldn’t sit still. So after a while, he got up and went out and said he was going to take the dog for a walk.

Li Jianglin waved his hand, motioning him to leave quickly.

Li Zhenran had just finished a phone call and leaned back on the back of the seat, looking a little impatient. On the day Li Zhentai scheduled their wedding, others had already booked a banquet half a year ago, and they had paid a deposit in advance. It’s a matter of integrity, and Wanfulai’s boss was reluctant to ask someone to withdraw their booking in any case. At the present, they wouldn’t be able to hold a banquet on that day, unless they go to the family and spend money to settle it. However, the people who chose Wanfulai to hold the banquet were probably also from good families, so this matter was really difficult to handle.

Marriage was a happy event, and it was not good to get in trouble with people for this reason.

Li Zhentai noticed Li Zhenran’s expression and asked, “Zhenran, it’s not going well?”

“Um,” Li Zhenran responded. He stood up and walked towards the sofa, “It didn’t go well.”

He sat down on his butt, next to the sofa armrest on which Li Zhenruo was lying. He reached out and rubbed the top of Li Zhenruo’s head.

Li Zhentai had contacted the place before and knew that it was not easy. He said to Li Jianglin, “Dad, why don’t you consider a different place?”

Li Jianglin’s crutch did not leave his body. At this time, his palms stroked the dragon head on the top of the crutch and said, “This is the request of the in-laws. And our Li family can’t fail to do this little thing.”

Wen Chun’s parents got married in Wanfulai. Thirty years have passed, and Wanfulai was the same as Wanfulai in the past.

Li Zhentai was silent and did not say anything.

Wen Chun reached out to hold Li Jianglin’s hand and said, “It doesn’t matter, my parents don’t know the current situation either. He just said the location casually, Uncle Li shouldn’t take it too seriously. It would be fine to change to another place.”

Li Jianglin frowned and looked at Li Zhenran, “I’ll call and ask for it myself if you can’t do it on your end.”

Li Zhenran had been teasing the cat with his head down. Li Zhenruo felt comfortable when he touched his head, so he straightened his limbs and rolled over from the sofa armrest, and lay on Li Zhenran’s lap. Li Zhenran gently scratched his belly and looked at his two fluffy balls. When he was about to stretch out his hand to squeeze it, he heard Li Jianglin talking to him, so he raised his head and said, “I’ll ask again, but I suggest making preparations for two possible outcomes.”

Wen Chun hurriedly smiled and said, “It’s not bad to have a buffet-style wedding banquet, it’s quite popular now.”

When she finished speaking, there was the sound of a car parked in front of the villa. Zhu Kai led his dog and said, “Daniel, you’re back?”

Li Zhenran took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and pinched Li Zhenruo’s balls. Li Zhenruo rolled over from Li Zhenran’s lap, jumped off and even took a few steps back.

Soon, Li Zhenzi came in from the outside. He walked behind the couch where Li Zhentai and Wen Chun were sitting, put his hands on the back of the chair, and said with a smile, “Good news for you, Wanfulai’s side over there is settled.”

Not only Wen Chun and Li Zhentai, but even Li Jianglin raised his head slightly and looked at him in surprise.

Li Zhenzi didn’t say much and just said, “Don’t worry, everything is fine, the original family promised to cancel the banquet and find another place to hold it. Now Wanfulai may not have any news yet, but I have already found someone to get in touch. There will be news soon.”

Li Jianglin asked, “Are you sure?”

Li Zhenzi nodded, “I’m sure.” Then he put a hand on Li Zhentai’s shoulder and said, “Eldest brother, are you not going to thank me?”

Li Zhentai smiled when he heard the words, “Of course, I must thank you properly.”

Wen Chun also looked at Li Zhenzi, and from an angle that Li Zhentai couldn’t see, Li Zhenzi blinked at Wen Chun.

At this moment, Li Zhenruo noticed that Li Jianglin’s hand holding the crutch was tightened. With such an action, Li Zhenruo was almost certain that Li Jianglin knew about the affair between Li Zhenzi and Wen Chun.

He made that call. Zhu Kai must have told Li Jianglin, and then Li Jianglin came back in a hurry to take charge of the marriage between Li Zhentai and Wen Chun.

Li Zhenruo turned around and saw Zhu Kai leaning against the door with his arms crossed, with a fake smile on his face.

All of a sudden, Li Zhenruo had a very strange feeling that the family who appeared to be harmonious on the surface harboured their own evil intentions in their hearts. Just like Li Zhenzi, with one hand on Li Zhentai’s shoulder, he could also hook up with Li Zhentai’s wife, which was really scary.

Li Zhenran was the only one who didn’t pay attention to those at all. He just hooked his fingers at Li Zhenruo and tried to get his attention back.

Li Zhenruo hesitated and jumped back onto Li Zhenran’s lap, but this time he clamped his hind legs and refused to turn over or face Li Zhenran with his belly.

Li Zhenran’s cell phone rang. After he answered the call, he said to Li Jianglin, “The boss of Wanfulai called and said that the family who ordered the banquet that day cancelled the reservation and has already reserved it for us.”

The smile at the corner of Li Zhenzhi’s mouth was obvious.

Li Jianglin glanced at him, he wanted to say something but didn’t say it, and finally just nodded.

Li Zhenruo thought to himself, if it wasn’t for the fact that Li Jianglin knew Li Zhenzi hooked up with Wen Chun, he should be happy now. But there was such a big scandal in the middle, Li Jianglin at the same time felt like weeping and thought it was ridiculous and not good.

Wen Chun stayed at Li’s house that night.

Li Zhenruo believed that in the next few days, she would frequently go in and out of the Li family until the end of the wedding. Then she would move in rightfully and become the only mistress of the Li family.

And tonight, Li Zhenruo’s intuition tells him that something was definitely going to happen. If nothing happened, he would be very sorry to Li Zhenzi since he had worked so hard for Wen Chun’s wedding.

In order to anticipate the good show, Li Zhenruo even gave up going to sleep in Li Zhenran’s room but stayed in his own bed as soon as he went upstairs.

Li Zhenran always let him sleep where he wanted. After a glance at him, he went back to his room and closed the door.

Li Zhenruo had been lying quietly until the middle of the night. He deliberately dragged his bed out close to the stairs, wanting to hear the movement downstairs.

Li Zhenzi went back to the room early, and Wen Chun followed Li Zhentai back to the room to do what should probably be done.

Only Li Zhenruo relying on the undying desire for gossip was still waiting patiently.

It was almost half-past twelve, and it was estimated that the Li family had already fallen asleep. Li Zhenruo heard the door of a room on the second floor open and the sound of footsteps in slippers walking downstairs.

He hurriedly got up from his bed, stuck his head out to the middle of the stairs to see, but saw that the man hadn’t turned on the lights all the way, so he couldn’t see anything at all.

At this moment, the door of another room on the second floor opened gently, and someone went down behind him.

Li Zhenruo immediately followed silently to catch the adultery.

As they went down to the first floor, Li Zhenruo saw Wen Chun wearing a halter nightdress, and standing in the dining room drinking a glass of warm water.

Li Zhenzi walked over, hugged her from behind, and said, “Did you get my message?”

The lights in the dining room were not turned on. With the dim yellow light coming in from outside, Li Zhenruo could clearly see the two people.

It was actually quite dangerous here because Li Jianglin and Zhu Kai’s room was on the first floor. Although the soundproofing of the room was very good, their voice shouldn’t be able to be heard when they speak in a low voice. But there was no guarantee that someone would not notice any movement and open the door to take a look.

There was a knife above the character for lust1, and Li Zhenzi literally sent his head under the blade of the knife.

Wen Chun was obviously much more sober than he was. She quietly broke away from him, glanced at the living room outside and the direction of Li Jianglin’s room, and said, “Don’t look for me.”

Li Zhenzi said, “Do you know how much effort I put in for the banquet over at Wanfulai?”

Wen Chun glanced at him, “I don’t care about those things, and I don’t need you to do them for me. I’ll be your sister-in-law in the future, so show some respect.”

Li Zhenzi said softly, “Chun jie…”

Wen Chun walked around him and walked upstairs, “If you send me another message, I’ll show it to your father.”

Li Zhenzi did not chase after her and sat down beside the dining table. Li Zhenruo didn’t know what was on Li Zhenzi’s mind, but he was surprisingly smiling a little. After a while, he got up to drink a glass of water, put the glass on the dining table, and turned to go upstairs.

After Li Zhenzi left, Li Zhenruo didn’t move. Behind him, the door of Zhu Kai’s room opened gently.

Zhu Kai stuck his head out and saw that Li Zhenruo was still there, he put his index finger to his mouth to signal him to keep silent, then squatted by the door and started to look at his cell phone.

When Li Zhenzi was hugging Wen Chun behind her back just now, neither of them noticed that Zhu Kai secretly opened the door, turned off the sound and flash of the phone, and took a few pictures.

Only Li Zhenruo noticed it. At this time, he couldn’t help but lean over to look at Zhu Kai’s phone screen. Zhu Kai did not drive him away, but let him look at the side.

The screen was very dark, and the faint light outside could only barely illuminate the outlines of the two people, and moreover, it was still just figures seen from the back.

But it was enough. As long as Li Zhentai or Li Jianglin were given a look, they could immediately identify the two people’s identities.

Li Zhenruo thought that the knife on Li Zhenzi’s head was about to fall off, and Zhu Kai suddenly laughed when he saw the photo. Li Zhenruo saw Zhu Kai’s shoulders shaking because he was suppressing his voice.

After Zhu Kai finished stifling his laughter, he put his index finger to his lips with an “sshh” to Li Zhenruo, and surreptitiously went back to the room to close the door.

Li Zhenruo the cat was left behind, and he suddenly felt that the darkness was so terrifying that he turned around and ran upstairs.

After a night of sleep, as they ate breakfast, Li Zhenruo peeked at the Li family at the dinner table while licking the milk. Li Zhenzi and Wen Chun act as if nothing happened, Li Zhentai also showed no reaction, and Zhu Kai hadn’t gotten up yet.

The photo was in Zhu Kai’s hands, and Li Zhenruo really didn’t know what his plans were.

Although he has a good relationship with Zhu Kai, he had always felt that Zhu Kai was a psychopath, and normal people should not provoke a psychopath.

But even after Zhu Kai woke up, he didn’t mention this matter. He didn’t know if Li Jianglin had seen the photo. Even if Li Jianglin had seen it, the old man could still keep his composure while facing Wen Chun and Li Zhenzi, but it was not like Li Zhenruo could tell the difference anyway.

The Li family seemed to be on the right track, but only Li Zhenruo always there was a bit of mountain rain coming and the wind was all over the building, and he couldn’t explain why.

About a week later, there was a sudden strong wind one night.

When Li Zhenruo was drinking water in the dining room on the first floor. He heard Wang Ma nagging while closing the window in the living room, “Why is there such a strong wind? It’s not going to rain heavily, is it?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhenruo heard the sound of thunder. Because of his sensitive ears, he was startled, and almost knocked over his water dish.

So he couldn’t help but come into the living room and jump on the windowsill to look outside and saw that the wind was really howling outside. The tall trees were blown over the branches and leaves, and the small bamboo forest in the distance was fluttering down, and he could even hear the sound of the wind blowing through.

At this time, another lightning struck, and Li Zhenruo’s heart trembled slightly, and then he heard the sound of thunder.

Wang Ma closed the window and turned off the light in the living room. Li Zhenruo turned around and ran up the stairs. He ran all the way to the third floor and wanted to go back to Li Zhenran’s room, but found that the other party had closed the door.

These days, he was thinking about the adultery between Li Zhenzi and Wen Chun, and often refused to enter Li Zhenran’s room at night. Li Zhenran was probably used to it. He closed the door without waiting for him when he slept.

Li Zhenruo had to go back to his cat bed.

The window of the recreation room was already closed. It was closed by Wang Ma just now, and now there was only one window in the corridor on the third floor that was still open. Li Zhenruo could always hear the strange sound of the wind outside the window as if there was a monster hiding inside.

The animal’s sharp intuition made him know what was going to happen tonight. He has already visualised a full-scale dog blood2 ethic drama of a rich and powerful family.

However, this drama was slow to stage. Not to mention the Li family, even Li Zhenruo was about to fall asleep. In a daze, he heard a strange noise in the wind outside and suddenly opened his eyes. This time it wasn’t an illusion, he really heard something.

Li Zhenruo came out of the cat bed and jumped on the window sill of the recreation room to look outside. Because the window was closed, he could only try to put his face against the window glass, trying to see what was in the dark.

At this moment, he noticed that a huge black shadow flashed past downstairs.

The thick and almost inseparable black shadow looks like a huge beast running past with its limbs stretched out, and Li Zhenruo’s heart palpitated suddenly. Before he could react, he heard a soft sound from the window of the corridor, which sounded like something coming in through the window.

Li Zhenruo jumped off the window sill, and he smelled a scent that seemed to be somewhat familiar. He hurriedly ran out of the room. Li Zhenruo was standing in the corridor and saw a huge black monster sitting on the window at the end. It looked like a black panther, with eyes flashing with a regal glow and a figure that filled the entire window.

Being watched by Li Zhenruo with frightened eyes, the monster suddenly stretched out and pounced in his direction.

Li Zhenruo was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but saw that the monster turned into a human appearance in the air, and then landed lightly in front of Li Zhenruo, and stretched out a finger to scratch his chin.

“Meow…” Li Zhenruo cried out weakly, but it really was him. He smelled the scent just now and felt like it was that person from the other day. The Xia Hongshen he met who promised to help him.

The gust of wind outside was still unstoppable.

Xia Hongshen sat with his leg crossed in front of Li Zhenruo. He stretched out two bright red fruits from his pocket, and said to him, “Eat up.”

Li Zhenruo came close and smelled it, but couldn’t smell anything special. The two fruits were so bright in colour that they looked like they were poisonous. He looked at Xia Hongshen with some suspicion.

Xia Hongshen didn’t react, but still repeat the same sentence, “Eat up.”

“Meow?” Can I ask what it is?

Xia Hongshen said, “Good stuff. Eat it and I’ll teach you how to control your spiritual power to transform.”

Although he was still sceptical, Li Zhenruo knew that he had no choice but to trust Xia Hongshen. So he rolled up the two fruits with his tongue and slowly ate them.

After eating the fruit, Li Zhenruo felt hot air rising from his abdomen. It was not appropriate to say that it was a hot air. It should be said that it was a force. When he was in heat, he had a similar feeling that made it difficult for him to control his body’s power.

Xia Hongshen said in his ear, “Listen to me, let the spiritual power in the body run to the limbs and bones.”

Li Zhenruo was at a loss with all the limbs and bones. He didn’t know where the limbs and bones were.

Xia Hongshen then said, “You imagine that your body is stretched, your fingers are separated, and you become human…”

Li Zhenruo closed his eyes and followed Xia Hongshen’s words, prompting the heat to spread to his fingers and toes, his limbs stretched, and his claws stretched out into five flexible fingers.

He thought so, and at the same time, he really felt it. He couldn’t tell whether it was his hallucination or reality, but he really felt that his body was being pulled and his heart was beating fast as if the feeling he had when he transformed himself last time came back.

Xia Hongshen suddenly said, “Very good.”

Li Zhenruo suddenly opened his eyes. He found that he had grown taller and could look directly at Xia Hongshen, who was sitting on the ground. He raised his hand and saw that his bare arms had indeed turned into a human appearance.

He touched his face in surprise, and the next action quickly covered his lower body, knowing that he was not wearing anything right now.
