Although there are only four people in the Li family, it is very rare for four people to have dinner together at the same time. Both Li Bingjian and his wife are busy with work and socializing a lot, so the time they go home varies every day, and Levi's whereabouts are even more elusive, with a fixed schedule every day.
The only person having dinner was Li Weiwen, who is still in Form Five.
Everyone was here for dinner today, which made Maria, who was preparing the dinner, particularly happy. She came to work in a foreign country and had worked in the Li family for many years, so she already had a sense of belonging.
Li Weiwen is used to having dinner alone on weekdays, but now that her family is here, she is a little uncomfortable. Moreover, even if she is the youngest, she feels that the atmosphere seems a bit strange. Li Bingjian seems to be worried and slightly distracted; Mai Qiongshan is smiling.
, but his eyes were always looking at the son of his husband's ex-wife, as if he wanted to see through his heart; Levis was very calm and silent.
Levi's lowered his head and ate in silence, deliberately creating warmth, but in the end there was no real feeling of warmth.
Li Weiwen finished eating as quickly as possible, said hello, and went upstairs to her room. She vaguely felt that her parents and brother had something going on, and she didn't want to say it in front of her, so she simply avoided it.
In her mind, she didn't think there was anything big going on, it was just Levi's getting into trouble again.
With a tacit understanding, after Li Weiwen went upstairs, the three of them also finished eating.
"Wes, your situation...your dad has already told me." McQueen said with a smile.
Levi knew exactly what this young stepmother was going to say. They came back for dinner today just to talk about this.
"Don't worry, neuroscience is still very mysterious in modern medicine, but temporary amnesia is not that big a problem. It doesn't require a dramatic coincidence like in movies and TV shows to recover. As long as you find a suitable expert doctor and cooperate with the treatment, you can recover."
You will recover soon." Joanna's voice is very magnetic. When she speaks, her mature and beautiful face is full of expressions, and her sincere tone makes it difficult for people to doubt her sincerity.
"I am okay."
"I have made an appointment with a neurologist for you. He is an authority in his field in Hong Kong. All you need to do is go for an examination..."
"No need to check, I'm fine!" Levi said in a cold and deep voice.
Perhaps because they are used to Levi's way of speaking, Mai Qiongshan is not displeased, and Li Bingjian also feels natural. But at this time, they still want to persuade Levi to see a doctor.
"Your mother is also doing it for your own good..."
"I know." Levi's stood up and nodded to Li Bingjian and Michelle Mac. "I know you have good intentions, but I don't want to be seen as crazy in the future!"
Mai Qiongshan looked at Li Bingjian. As a stepmother, it is not easy to say many things, and the same words may be interpreted as having ulterior motives.
Li Bingjian smiled bitterly: "Seeing a neurologist can't explain anything. Besides, the doctor will keep it confidential. No one will know except our own family members."
The reaction of the two of them completely fell in Levi's eyes, and he could feel a kind of care. But now, he still has to answer in the same way as 'Levis' before, and he cannot have a personality change.
"Let's talk about it later. If I can remember it, I will naturally remember it. If I can't remember it, forget it. In the worst case, I will move out. I can still live quite well without memories these days!"
After saying that, he said sorry in his mind, turned around and went upstairs on his own.
Looking at his back, Mai Qiongshan was thoughtful, her eyes a little complicated.

Levi's is determined to improve this relationship, but this is a problem accumulated over the years. If it is changed all at once, it may be unacceptable to others, so it needs to be done slowly.
He also understands where the crux of the problem lies. In the past, Levis was relatively incompetent and could only express it in this way. Now he is different. The crux of the problem is nothing to him.
Eighteen years ago, Li Bingjian was just an ordinary lawyer. At that time, he was in the prime of life and a rising star in the legal world. However, his wife died of illness at that time, which not only gave him a great mental blow.
, one person has a young son, which also brings considerable difficulties to his career.
At that time, because of a lawsuit, he met Mai Qiongshan, a beautiful employee of Hongtu Group. They started to admire each other and gradually came together. A year later, Mai Qiongshan married Li Bingjian. At the beginning
At that time, Mai Qiongshan also took great care of Levi, the son of Li Bingjian's ex-wife, but it was difficult for the child to accept his stepmother in a short time, no matter how good he was. Another year later, Li Weiwen, the daughter of Mai Qiongshan and Li Bingjian, was born.
As a first-time mother, Joanna naturally has to shift most of her energy to taking care of her baby. This makes the relationship between the two not at its best.
When Li Weiwen started to grow up, Levi also grew up. When he entered the rebellious period, Li Bingjian had reached the first peak of his career, and Mai Qiongshan was also going very smoothly in her career. Neither of them had much
Time to take care of the kids.
In addition to these, what concerns Levis even more is Mai Qiongshan's identity.
When Mai Qiongshan met Li Bingjian, she was just an ordinary employee, but in fact she was the daughter of Mai Tian, ​​the president of Hongtu Group. She started from the bottom in order to exercise her abilities and understand the company's situation. Although Li Bingjian remarried, she was
The son-in-law who was appreciated by Maitian did not dislike him, but encouraged and helped them. Li Bingjian's subsequent career development was also inseparable from the Mai family's help.
Maitian is Li Bingjian's father-in-law, Mai Qiongshan's father, and Li Weiwen's grandfather, so it is natural and normal for them to get help from the Mai family. But what about Levi's? This is not his grandfather! His father's career is getting better and better.
The better he gets, the better his food, clothing, housing and transportation get, the more awkward he feels.
He is like an outsider.
He was originally holding his breath and wanted to get ahead with his own efforts, otherwise he would not be able to get into the University of Hong Kong. But then something happened and he started to give up. During the few years at the University of Hong Kong, things got worse and worse.
, just drinking and picking up girls and having fun, so that in the end he couldn't graduate... From being excellent to falling down, it gave Li Bingjian and Mai Qiongshan even more headaches, and even Li Weiwen could teach him a lesson.
After looking through everything in the room, mainly all the information on the computer, Levis said softly: "Everything will change in the future, do you believe it?"
No one answered him, only Xiaojiu responded with a positive answer.

After staying for a week, Levis gradually "recovered" his memory. Seeing that he recovered quickly in a familiar environment, everyone was very relieved and did not mention him seeing a doctor again.
But in Mai Qiongshan's heart, there was a hint of disappointment. Even if he saw a doctor and took medicine, he wouldn't recover so quickly, right? This can only mean that... he may be pretending to have amnesia!
Today is the fourth time in a week that the whole family has dinner together. It has rarely happened before. The atmosphere is much warmer than the day Levi's first came back. Even Li Weiwen, who did not abandon her parents and her brother, sat down obediently. Eat slowly and don't leave in a hurry.
"Weiss, your car has been scrapped after a collision. You can't go out to play these days. Your mother and I discussed it, why not find a job? Don't you like working?" Li Bingjian said a very realistic point. This is a question that only he can answer.
"Okay." Levis nodded.
His attitude surprised Li Bingjian and his wife. After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, he had been hanging around with nothing to do. The family did not need him to earn money to support the family, and they had no control over him and no time to keep an eye on him. They could only let him go. Unexpectedly, Now he will take the job.
"In your situation... you can't be a lawyer. Why don't you go to your mother's company first and start practicing?" Li Bingjian asked tentatively.
He most hopes that his son will succeed him as a lawyer, but Levi's has not given him face. Now he can only be regarded as a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, and it is difficult to find a good job. Mai Qiongshan is now a director of Hongtu Group and one of the executive vice presidents, and is still an independent person. The general manager of the company will definitely have no problem arranging and taking care of Levi's.
"Sorry, I might not be able to do it... you know, I am relatively incompetent..." Levis declined politely.
Although she had expected his answer, Mai Qiongshan still couldn't help but frown, "Why are you so incompetent? You are just deliberately self-indulgent. If you are serious, you will not be worse than anyone else! You can get into HKU. That’s proof! Why did you…”
Seeing that she was a little excited, Levi smiled calmly and interrupted: "Mom... I have other plans. I don't want to rely on you and my father. I decided to apply for the police academy and completely isolate myself from the previous environment. This is also a way to prove it. Bar!"
After saying that, while the three people were stunned, Levis wiped his mouth and went upstairs.
After being stunned for a long time, Mai Qiongshan turned to look at her husband and asked numbly: "Did I hear wrongly?" She was completely without the grace and confidence she had before.
Li Bingjian laughed bitterly and said with a hint of excitement: "I heard that right."
Chapter completed!
