Lin Che said, How can that be? What tricks can I possibly play when I am under your watch? Besides, are you saying that you are afraid that I may do something?
Li Mingyu raised his brow and looked at her. Dont think that you can play tricks on me just because I treat you well.
Ha, now that you say that, I would really like to try it. Are you afraid that I would play tricks on you? She raised her brow at him in return.
Looking at her sparkling eyes, he laughed out loud. Alright, I will eat hotpot with you.
Li Mingyu had randomly ordered his men to prepare hotpot and although they felt strange, they knew that Li Mingyu was a carefree person all along so they did not give much thought to it. Soon, the hotpot was ready.
When Lin Che saw the hotpot, she immediately regained her appetite. She told them to cook the food and when she saw the bubbling hot food, she said immediately, Try this. Its really good.
Li Mingyu shook his head. This is what children like to eat. Im already sick of the taste.
Lin Che looked at him and asked, Oh, so you have eaten hotpot before?
Why not? I have already told you. Dont think that Im like your husband, born with a golden spoon in my mouth. I started everything on my own, so I have also experienced hardships before. I used to eat hotpot very frequently unlike your husband who behaves like the high-class nobles.
Lin Che glared at him and thought that he was being petty since he kept on criticizing Gu Jingze.
But Li Mingyu still came over and ate together with Lin Che.
Lin Che asked, So what did you work as previously?
Almost all sorts of jobs, selling shoes, different odd jobs and even as a mine worker.
Lin Che said, You dont look very old. What are you boasting about?
Li Mingyu said, I started working when I was fifteen. I have been working hard for almost twenty years.
Lin Che said, Oh I see. It must be tough on you as well.
Of course. You were still a baby then.
Tsk, I was already helping my nanny with chores when I was ten. At twelve, I distributed newspapers to earn a living. At fifteen, I took up jobs to pay for my own school fees.
Hehe, but to you, these were just ways for you to experience life. I heard that your dad is the mayor of B Town.
But Im the illegitimate child. Im often bullied at home by my two older sisters. They confiscated my school fees and when they knew that I was earning money, they accused me of stealing their allowance. In the end, they took away my money and I was locked up and punished by my father in the small black hut. However, my nanny could not bear to watch me suffer, so she let me go and even lent me money to go to school. If not, I wouldnt be where I am today.
Li Mingyu looked at her. These are nothing. I have lived in tree holes and pigsties before.
But at least you were alone and carefree. I was always bullied by my two older sisters. They would always try to hinder whatever I do. They kept on targeting me and would destroy whatever fun I get.
Li Mingyu looked at her nonchalantly and seemed to have thought of something.
They were comparing who had it worse. They each said their own hardships that they went through in the past and as time passed, Li Mingyu had drunk a lot of alcohol.
Lin Che did not drink at all. She used the towel to soak up all the alcohol. Even though her cup was empty, not even a drop of alcohol went into her mouth.
On the other hand, Li Mingyu laid still over there and while he spoke, his head was getting lower and lower.
He muttered to himself, I have no idea why all of you keep on praising Gu Jingze. Honestly speaking, its all because of his good looks, his influential and wealthy background, and the history of his family clan. So what if they had a long history? I dont have anything like them but the moment I stomp my feet now, it impacts A Country too.
