Chapter 410 Mission 039

Zheng Li took the hard-earned fifty yuan and finally had his only full meal in a roadside restaurant.

Nowadays, prices are soaring, and in an economically developed province like S Province, fifty yuan can only order two cheap dishes in a roadside restaurant. A meat dish with a little more meat costs thirty or forty, which he can't afford at all.

Since rice is free, Zheng Li ordered two cheap dishes and ate three bowls of rice, which made other customers and the boss and waiters in the restaurant look at him.

Zheng Li didn't learn anything else in the past few days of looking for a job outside, but he learned to be thick-skinned. He didn't care about other people's strange looks at all, and he ate like a starving ghost.

After finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant, Zheng Li felt the few yuan left in his pocket. After hesitating for a while, he still found a small store to call his sister Zheng Yuan on a public phone.

After getting the fifty yuan, he had thought about recharging his mobile phone first, but his mobile phone number had a high star rating and owed more than sixty yuan, which he couldn't pay back at all. So it was better to use a public phone.

Listening to the beeping sound on the other end of the phone, Zheng Li was nervous: "Hurry up and answer it! You must answer it!"

However, the phone was hung up, and Zheng Yuan didn't answer the strange call at all. Zheng Li's heart was cold, and he took out his mobile phone, flipped through the address book, dialed the number again, put the phone in his pocket, and stood there nervously waiting for the other party to answer the phone.

At this time, a young man came behind him, glanced at him, and asked: "How long will it take?"

Zheng Li was in a bad mood now, and he didn't even look at the young man, and ignored him at all. After a while, the young man turned around and left.

At this time, the boss of the canteen, who was originally reading a magazine, raised his head and whispered to Zheng Li: "Young man, your mobile phone was stolen!"

Zheng Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the pocket where he had just put the mobile phone. Sure enough, he touched nothing, and immediately realized that it was the young man who had asked the question just now who stole the mobile phone.

However, when he turned around to look for the young thief's trace, he found that he didn't know what the thief looked like or what clothes he wore, and the thief had already mixed into the crowd and couldn't be found.

Zheng Li was heartbroken after losing his phone. He spent nearly 10,000 yuan to buy this phone. He only broke it once and had to replace the screen. It is still worth a lot of money now. The most important thing is that he was so hungry that he didn't sell his phone for money because of the address book on his phone!

He never remembered other people's phone numbers. They were always automatically recorded in his phone address book. Even when he called his sister Zheng Yuan from a public phone just now, he had to look up the phone address book to check the phone number.

Now that his phone was lost, Zheng Li didn't remember Zheng Yuan and his father's phone numbers at all, and he was suddenly desperate!

He looked at the store owner angrily: "Why didn't you remind me when the thief was still there? Now I lost my nearly 10,000 yuan phone and I don't remember the phone number! What should I do now?"

The store owner said angrily: "Those thieves are in gangs, who dares to speak out directly? Can I still do business if I provoke these scoundrels?" He impatiently snatched the phone from Zheng Li, which was still dialing Zheng Yuan, and hung up the phone, "Go, go, go! You are not allowed to call!"

Zheng Li had lost his phone and didn't remember Zheng Yuan's phone number, so he was counting on this call to get through. Now that the store owner hung up on him, he was completely desperate.

He wanted to make a scene with the boss, but seeing the boss's old but much stronger figure than him, he didn't dare to, so he could only argue with the boss: "This call is very important to me! I lost my phone and don't remember the phone number, so I can't call it anymore! Why did you hang up on me!"

Zheng Li felt more and more unlucky and wronged the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but shed tears.

The shop owner, who was originally irritated by Zheng Li, felt embarrassed when he saw this. "I don't have any records of my phone calls, and I hung up... Or you can find another way!"

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Zheng Li lost his mobile phone, and only had a few dollars left on him. The lease of the apartment he rented before was about to expire. The landlord urged him to pay the water and electricity bills two months ago, but he pretended to be away all the time, and the phone could not be reached. In addition, when he rented the apartment, he looked like a rich second-generation young man, which made the landlord trust him. He thought he would not default on the water and electricity bills, and he did not urge him hard when he could not contact him. Otherwise, his apartment would be cut off from water and electricity.

But the lease expired, and even if the landlord could not contact him, he would definitely come to reclaim the apartment.

Zheng Li had no money now, and soon he would not even have a place to stay.

He walked back to the apartment in a daze. There was still a long way to go, but he didn't dare to take a bus, because taking the bus also costs money, and the few dollars he had were the only money left for food.

Finally, when he walked back to the apartment, Zheng Li tiredly inserted the key into the lock and found a piece of paper on the door. It was a message from the landlord urging him to pay the water and electricity bills. He didn't dare to touch the paper. He carefully opened the door and went in to close it. He didn't even dare to turn on the lights, maintaining the illusion that he was not in the apartment.

In the dark, Zheng Li sat with his face covered all night, hesitating for a long time. When it was dawn the next day, he sold the high-end laptop computer in the apartment that he bought for 20,000 yuan for a few thousand yuan.

Then he didn't rely on these thousands of dollars to support himself for a few more days, and didn't find a way to find a job. Instead, he used the money to buy a new set of clothes. It wasn't a big brand, but it made him look very energetic, and then took a taxi back to the Zheng family villa.

Although the security personnel in the villa area recognized Zheng Li, the eldest son of the Zheng family, they did not stop him from entering, but the Zheng family villa door required facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, and Xiao Yu was still trying to make sure that Zheng Li did not intend to run away from home. After coming back, he deleted the facial and fingerprint information entered by Zheng Li.

So Zheng Li was blocked outside the gate and couldn't get in. He could only ring the doorbell in humiliation.

Inside the villa, you can see the appearance of the person who rings the doorbell through the monitor.

In the Zheng family villa, there are now Zheng's father, Zheng's mother, and Zheng Changyi who is at home on the day off. Xiao Yu is busy at the company headquarters, and Zheng Yuan, a senior high school student, has to make up classes at school on the day off.

However, Zheng’s father, Zheng’s mother, and Zheng Changyi had both seen Zheng Li’s photos, so they recognized Zheng Li.

Knowing that the biological son of the owner of the mansion was back, the three of them did not dare to let people in, so they opened the door.

In the eyes of Zheng's father and Zheng's mother, no matter how cruel Xiao Yu said, Zheng Li was always Zheng Pingchang's biological son. How could father and son have an overnight feud?

But Zheng Li, who was let in, suppressed his pitiful pride and was mentally prepared to bow to his father and be embarrassed. As a result, when he entered the house, he found three strangers in the house. If it weren't for the servants and the decoration of the house, they would still be so familiar. , Zheng Li thought he had gone to the wrong door: "Who are you?"

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

After Zheng Li introduced himself to Zheng's father, Zheng's mother, and Zheng Changyi, when he heard the handsome sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy in front of him calling him his cousin, his face suddenly became extremely twisted and ugly. It seemed that all his grievances and resentments had found an outlet. He stared at Zheng Changyi, who was wearing expensive high-end clothes, sneered: "What? You broke into the house just after being found? If you don't know, you think you are my father's son! In order to compete with me, the real heir, for the right to inherit, you have to marry me so quickly. Changed your surname to Zheng?”

Zheng Li did not know that Zheng's father and mother were also named Zheng, and Zheng Changyi took his adoptive father's surname from the beginning. But this did not prevent him from venting his anger on Zheng Changyi.

In Zheng Li's opinion, if it weren't for Zheng Changyi's existence, how could his father Zheng Pingchang be so stubborn as to not want him as his heir? Didn't you scold him a few times and then bow your head obediently to coax him and beg him to inherit the family business?

Zheng Changyi was confused by Zheng Li. He was still young and the environment he usually came into contact with was very simple. Even though he had learned some things from Xiao Tuo in the past year, he had never seen such blatant malice from Zheng Li?

Father Zheng and Mother Zheng couldn't believe that such a young man could speak harshly to his cousin whom they met for the first time. Father Zheng couldn't help but defend his son: "Chang Yi's surname is Zheng because my father's surname is Zheng! His surname has been Zheng for more than ten years, and this is the first time I heard that he changed his surname because of your father! "

Zheng's father has some noble and arrogant qualities as a scholar in his heart. He will not regard money as dirt like Zheng Li did before, but he will never turn away from money. Reach out.

So he couldn't stand Zheng Li's remarks that his family wanted Zheng Changyi to recognize Zheng Pingchang as his uncle because of Zheng Pingchang's family property!

Zheng's mother was also very dissatisfied with Zheng Li, but she felt that it was not her time to speak out at this time, so she patted her son's back comfortingly.

When Zheng Li had a dispute with Zheng's father, the aunt who had been invited to cook at Zheng's house since Zheng Pingchang's wife passed away quietly called to inform Xiao Yu of what happened at home.

After Xiao Yu received the call, he didn't want to rush back, so he took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Li. Unexpectedly, Zheng Li had lost his cell phone a long time ago and could not get through at all. He had to temporarily ask the driver to drive him back.

When Xiao Yu returned to Zheng's house, there was no big fuss at home, because Zheng's father and mother Zheng restrained themselves and did not conflict with Zheng Li, Zheng Pingchang's real son, for fear of affecting Zheng Changyi. It was just Zheng Li's unilateral provocation.

When Xiao Yu came back, he found that the atmosphere in the villa was very stiff. He looked at Zheng Li, who was embarrassed and afraid to look at him, and said, "Aren't you so stubborn that you don't want to come back? Why are you back again?"

Zheng Li felt depressed in his heart and wanted to get angry at his father and slam the door and leave like before, but the memory of the hardships and suffering in these days had not faded in his mind. He held it back and shouted awkwardly: "Dad …”
