Life is a Game

Sun Maocai came here in a hurry after reading the news in Hong Kong City this morning. He has been in Hong Kong City for many years, and his contacts, family property, wife, children and friends are all in Hong Kong City. Sun Maocai's wife and children had no objection to his decision to leave Hong Kong City and return to Jubaolou.

He and his wife have had a normal relationship over the years, relying on their two sons to maintain their marriage. Now his eldest son is living abroad, and his youngest son is also planning to study abroad. Sun Maocai's wife originally planned to accompany his youngest son to go abroad. These days, he even helped Sun Maocai deal with the real estate they bought in Hong Kong over the years.

In the past few months, Sun Maocai has been dealing with these complicated and trivial matters with his wife in Hong Kong City. By the way, he has been fooled by the boss's persuasion, coupled with the natural barrier of information, he knew nothing about the affairs of the Sun family before. Only after the overwhelming news in the morning did they know that Jubaolou had changed hands.

Not only has the owner changed, but the restaurant business has changed from focusing on the service industry to the hotel business.

Sun Maocai, who just resigned and became unemployed:?

Sun Maocai contacted Assistant Wang immediately after watching the news, and hurried over after hearing about the recent situation of Sun Jikai and his son from Assistant Wang who had the same career. Originally, Assistant Wang wanted to come with Sun Maocai, but Sun Maocai felt that Assistant Wang's advice was not as useful as Qiu Fu at this time, so he asked Assistant Wang to stay at home and wait for news to follow Qiu Fu to find Sun Jikai and his son.

Sun Jikai got up from the ground and opened the door.

Qiu Fu and Sun Maocai stood at the door, neatly dressed, and wearing crumpled shirts, their hair was long and uncut and unkempt, their spirits were depressed, their faces were pale and their eyes were blue, and they knew that they hadn't slept well for a long time. It is in stark contrast to Sun Jikai, who just wrote "I want to commit suicide" on his face.

Seeing Sun Jikai like this, Qiu Fu was too shocked to speak.

When will Sun Jikai appear in front of people like this? Even when Sun Guanyun was still alive a year ago when he was driven out of the house to freeze bank cards, credit cards and trusts, Sun Jikai never took off the cufflinks on his clothes.

"Xiao Kai..." Qiu Fu didn't know what to say. Would you like to persuade him to pay more? Not to mention Sun Jikai, even he couldn't think about it, otherwise he wouldn't refuse the generous salary that Sun Changning offered him. Resigned.

When Qiu Fu was rich, he even felt that his master hadn't chosen the names for his two sons well, that there was no peace in Changping, and there was no peace in Changning.

However, Sun Maocai seemed to have not seen Sun Jikai's appearance, and walked in calmly: "Can we sit down?"

"Of course." Sun Jikai hadn't communicated with normal people for a long time, and he didn't even feel used to talking to people. He ordered takeaway only to note that the takeaway can be left at the door without ringing the bell.

"I'll go..." Sun Jikai thought for a while, as if there was still drinking water in the refrigerator, he walked towards the kitchen, "Pour you a glass of water."

Qiu Fu was worried. Sun Changping went to the bedroom to have a look, only to see Sun Changping lying face down on the bed as if drunk, with empty beer bottles all over the floor. He didn't respond to calling him twice, and then he came out a little worried: "Xiao Kai, your father..."

"He's not drunk." Sun Jikai put the water glass on the coffee table.

Qiu Fu didn't believe it. The floor in the bedroom was full of beer bottles, and the bedroom smelled of alcohol too. How could he not be drunk?

"I see the ground..."

"It's all left over from before. My dad got drunk every day in the first few days, and he only drank one or two bottles of beer every day. He didn't get drunk, but he didn't let me pick up the bottles on the ground." Sun Jikai said listlessly , "Maybe, he doesn't want to be drunk or sober, just want to be like this."

"What about you?" Sun Maocai looked at Sun Jikai.

"I don't know." Sun Jikai lowered his head.

"Because I don't know, so it's like this? I live in such a small room with the curtains drawn and dark every day, without contact with the outside world, without seeing people, and escaping. Is it useful to escape? This morning when I looked at my phone, it was all about The news of Jubao Building's change of ownership is probably known to the whole country now, but now, do you still want to continue to escape?" Sun Maocai said.

Sun Jikai didn't speak.

Qiu Fu got a little anxious and signaled Sun Maocai not to provoke Sun Jikai with his eyes at this time, but Sun Maocai also signaled with his eyes not to stop him.

"Do you still want to fight?" Sun Maocai asked.

Sun Jikai shook his head.

"Why not argue? I asked Assistant Wang this morning. You and your father became like this because your mother destroyed the will without anyone thinking of it. The will that has been destroyed and only has a copy without the original is the same as the will in the hands of your second uncle. The original will is not competitive, but it does not mean that you have no hope of winning this lawsuit." Sun Maocai continued, "There have been many sensational inheritance disputes in Hong Kong City over the years, let alone no A will, even if there is a will, it is very common for a lawsuit to last for a year or so, ten or eight years. As long as one party does not let go of the inheritance, the inheritance cannot be divided. There are expected winners, and there are also unexpected winners who win by forged wills Yes, there are also those who lost because of this, why don't you fight?"

Qiu Fu was too frightened by Sun Maocai's words to speak.

"Because I can't." Sun Jikai said.

"Is there anything you can't do?" Sun Maocai pressed on step by step, "You deserve it. If you insist on death and don't let go, don't give in, don't admit it, this inheritance lawsuit can go on endlessly, and then you will be counted. If you can't beat your second uncle, you will definitely give in, and you can get more inheritance than what you get now. Why not?"

"Because Jubao Building can't afford it!" Sun Jikai shouted.

"When my grandfather was still there, because he was seriously ill and had no time to take care of the store's business, the business of Jubaolou was already very bleak. After the funeral, the staff should have been reorganized, but because... because of this inheritance lawsuit, it became even worse. It’s chaotic. Shareholders stand in line, employees stand in line, and the stock price of Jubaolou has plummeted. If we drag this lawsuit to continue, I’m afraid it will be over before the lawsuit is over.”

"Now the Jubao Building is also finished. Sun Changning is going to convert the Jubao Building into a hotel, and create a series of surrounding facilities around the hotel supplemented by catering, do you know?" Sun Maocai asked.

"I know." Sun Jikai stared at the floor, "My second uncle has wanted to transform Jubaolou into a hotel for many years, but grandpa has always refused."

"Are you willing to do that?"

"I'm not reconciled." Sun Jikai murmured, "but my dad and I don't want Jubaolou to be destroyed in our hands because of an inheritance lawsuit. Although my second uncle wants to be a hotel, he will not give up catering. He knows that Jubao What is the core of the building, as it is now, at least Jubao Building is still there."

"What about your mother?" Sun Maocai changed the subject, "She damaged the will and you lost the lawsuit. I heard that the divorce agreement was signed before the verdict of the estate lawsuit. She lost the right of inheritance because of the damage to the will. But there seems to be something missing."

Sun Jikai sneered: "She will regret it, and she will regret it soon. She thinks she is smart, and my dad and I will not pursue it, but she will soon pay the price for her smartness, and she will lose one after another. It’s much more painful not to get it in the first place.”

Sun Maocai didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Sun Jikai quietly.

Sun Jikai had been staring at the floor with his head down, waiting for Sun Maocai's next question, but he didn't hear him speak for a long time. He raised his head and met Sun Maocai's eyes.

"Are you here to ask these questions?" Sun Jikai asked.

"More than that, but the rest is unnecessary." Sun Maocai smiled suddenly, "I thought it was because you couldn't bear the blow that you locked yourself up in the house like this. But you know very well what you have done Choice, now it seems that you have not regretted these choices, since you do not regret it, why do you still do this?"

Sun Jikai was silent.

After a long time, he shook his head.

"I have no idea."

"Want to hear my opinion?" Sun Maocai said.

Sun Jikai looked at him, and Qiu Fu also looked at him.

Just as Sun Maocai was about to start, the words stopped at the edge of his mouth. He paused and said, "Mr. Sun, stop standing there, sit down and drink some water."

Sun Changping walked out of the room at some point, and leaned against the wall, looking sloppy and drunk, but there was no drunkenness in his eyes.

"Before I say my opinion, let me tell you a story."
