Liao Daqing was still immersed in joy and did not notice anything unusual about his wife. After taking two plates of fruit, he motioned to take them back while continuing to tell his wife, "It seems that we have known each other since high school. We are classmates in college and we just graduated this year."
, I went to work as the secretary to the president of the Ancient Poetry Company..."
classmate?
Liu Yubing was slightly startled. Isn't that the same age as her daughter?
She couldn't help but ask: "How old is Mr. Wei?"
"I just graduated from college this year."
Liao Daqing said, then lowered his voice and said: "Some people say that the family background is very tough, but no one knows, and some people say that they started from scratch..."
Liu Yubing felt a sudden enlightenment. She suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked first: "What is the relationship between the two of them? Boy and girl?"
"no."
Liao Daqing shook his head and added: "It's not a real girlfriend anyway. I made it clear that I have a girlfriend, but there must be an affair."
Liu Yubing was a little disappointed, but more of a surprise, because this situation was much better than what she had just guessed. The relationship between high school and college classmates must be extraordinary.
But she was still a little strange and regretful. They had known her so long ago, so why couldn't she be her real girlfriend?
She was pleasantly surprised, but she did not tell Liao Daqing her true relationship with Jiang Qinghuai rashly. After all, she still didn't know Liao Daqing's thoughts and attitude.
As for Jiang Qinghuai, although blood is thicker than water, she was still in elementary school when he left, and he treated her like that when we met yesterday. He must be resentful of himself in his heart. If he accidentally ends up losing everything, it would be a big loss.
.
However, no matter what, the fact that his daughter is in a high position in the ancient poetry company is also very beneficial to Liao Daqing's career...
She had no intention of "changing jobs", but although she and Liao Daqing had a good relationship, their family status was not equal. Economic status determined status. Liao Daqing was very chauvinistic in many places. She also seized on this and successfully "flyed".
"Go up the branch" and become a phoenix.
If she and her daughter reconcile as before, and mother is more valuable than daughter, then in this family, she won't have to be as careful every day as she is now, and Liao Daqing will treat her better.
She began to think about how to "reconcile" with her daughter.
This is not difficult. After all, I am her mother. Although she said and acted a bit too much yesterday, blood is thicker than water. She obviously has great feelings for herself. As long as she treats her well in the future, she will not worry about restoring the relationship between mother and daughter.
…
"Are you OK?"
On the other side, Zhou Li and Jiang Qinghuai walked some distance away and asked in a low voice.
"fine."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and shook his head, "We will just stop communicating with each other in the future. I have grown up over the years..."
Zhou Li hesitated to speak. When she returned to her seat, the dining table had not been taken away, so the two of them sat down. She smiled and said, "Try it first...it smells so good."
"Um."
Jiang Qinghuai had already eaten a lot. At this time, he was in a low mood and no longer had the same appetite as before. However, he still picked up the cake and took a bite. Feeling the hot and sweet taste, he nodded and said: "It's delicious!"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhou Li also nodded, then stood up and said, "I'll pour the drinks while you watch."
"Um."
Zhou Li took two cups to pour yogurt. Jiang Qinghuai stopped eating cake and sat here in a daze for a while. Then he noticed a waiter coming, probably to clean up, but found that there was someone else and he didn't come.
She smiled at the other party, and then continued in a daze.
Zhou Li came back soon. Jiang Qinghuai didn't want her to worry, so he calmed down, smiled again, ate both pieces of cake with yogurt and tried his best.
"I can't stand anymore."
"Me too."
The two of them rested for a while, then walked out of the restaurant arm in arm, went to the bathroom, and then went downstairs together to prepare to go home.
"I feel……"
On the escalator, Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "If your mother comes to see you again in the future, will you forgive her?"
"Why are you looking for me?"
Jiang Qinghuai had obviously thought about this problem for a long time. He didn't feel surprised or embarrassed, but his smile was a little bitter, "Because can I help her husband? Or can I help her live a better life?"
Before Zhou Li could answer, she smiled again, "That's too overestimating me. I'm just a little secretary, I don't have that ability."
Zhou Li squeezed her palm and said with a smile: "I think you underestimated you..."
She paused and smiled: "You have been Wei Qingfan's secretary for so long. You should have met many female secretaries of other bosses, right? How many of them have treated you like Wei Qingfan?"
Of course Jiang Qinghuai knew that Wei Qingfan treated him preferentially and would consider his own feelings in many small details. He shook his head and said, "We are classmates. If you were the secretary instead, he would treat you the same way."
"He wouldn't let me be a secretary at all."
Zhou Li rolled her eyes, "Don't you really think that Wei Qingfan just randomly found a secretary? If he really doesn't want to, how can anyone force him to do this?"
Jiang Qinghuai was stunned. She had always thought that her role as secretary was a test by Li Wanyi and Li Miaoyu. After what happened last night, she thought about it again and wondered if the two of them deliberately set up a match between herself and Wei Qingfan.
This idea was too outrageous, so after she woke up, she rationally denied the possibility.
However, now that Zhou Li said that her original idea was a little shaken, the president's secretary was not an ordinary position and was directly related to Wei Qingfan's daily work. Wei Qingfan would directly let Li Wanyi and Li Miaoyu ask him to do it.
Will you be your own secretary?
If this is a test, what is Wei Qingfan's attitude?
He would definitely consider his own feelings, but he still agreed...
He also wants to test it?
Or is it that deep down in his heart, he is also looking forward to being his secretary?
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to do this, because in the eyes of Li Wanyi and Li Miaoyu, this signal is too dangerous.
Then Li Wanyi and Li Miaoyu tried it out and gave him this opportunity?
She was a little confused and couldn't figure it out for a while, so she quickly threw these thoughts behind her and stopped thinking about them.
In any case, Wei Qingfan already has a girlfriend, and there are two of them. Who has he become thinking about these things all day long?
She did not answer Zhou Li's words, and was silent for a while, and then said: "If she doesn't come to me, I will feel better. If she comes to me, and comes to me soon, I will be even more sad."
Zhou Li naturally understood who the "she" in her mouth was. She hesitated and whispered: "Actually, I don't think you need to think so. Anyway, she is your mother after all... I'm not speaking for her, I'm just
Don’t want to make you sad.”
She held Jiang Qinghuai's hand, held her arm, and said softly: "No matter what the reason is, if we can get along well, at least you will be happier..."
Jiang Qinghuai bit his lip gently, then shook his head and said nothing.
Zhou Li didn't say anything more, changed the subject, walked around for a while, then left the mall and took a taxi home.
————
Because Li Miaoyu was leaving tomorrow, Li Wanyi still chose to cook by herself tonight, and Wei Qingfan and Li Miaoyu followed to help.
After eating, the three of them walked downstairs together. The two girls held hands and Wei Qingfan led the dog.
After finishing eating, they would go upstairs. Li Miaoyu started a video chat with Cousin Song, and Wei Qingfan went to sandbag for a while, then took a shower and came out.
Li Miaoyu was still in the room. Li Wanyi had also taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa reading a book in short-sleeved shorts. Wei Qingfan skillfully lay on him, hugged his senior sister's slender white legs and took a few bites, then he was almost embarrassed.
Li Wanyi kicked the ground.
Wei Qingfan didn't mind, climbed up and sat down, took her into his arms, and asked, "Have you called my mother?"
"Is it your mother or mine?"
Li Wanyi rolled her eyes, "Won't you take the initiative to call Auntie?"
"It's the same for both of us."
Wei Qingfan chuckled. Li Wanyi often called home, but they didn't talk much. It was more to show her attitude that she could talk to her future mother-in-law better than her own parents.
The reasons here are more complicated. There are traditional communication issues between parents and children, and there are also some reasons why she is chatting with her parents. Apart from having something to do, there really isn’t much to talk about. The chats are basically about Li Chengan and Li Wanyun, or her father.
Mom used their thoughts to talk about some "experiences", including advice on her career and indirect questions about when she would get married.
On the contrary, when chatting with Wang Shuhua, Wang Shuhua would care about her life and whether she was tired, and then scold Wei Qingfan by the way, blaming him for letting her open a company and work alone.
From this perspective, Wang Shuhua is more like a mother to her.
Li Wanyi didn't blame her parents, but she felt a little emotional and regretful. She thought more about the "original family" that Li Miaoyu once said, and tried to find ways to change it, but the effect was not good.
Wang Shuhua also pressed for marriage, so Li Wanyi told the two mothers about the decision to discuss marriage during the Spring Festival this year that she had discussed with Wei Qingfan, which finally eased the situation.
"By the way, Auntie asked us tonight when we would go home."
"Um……"
Wei Qingfan thought for a while and said, "It will take some time. When will you have time here?"
Li Wanyi said: "I can do it, I'm not as busy as you."
"It feels like our parents still regard us as students and want to go home during the summer vacation..."
"Now that students are on vacation and they don't open shops, they may feel lonely at home every day."
"It's okay. When we get married, give them a grandson, and tease them every day, we won't feel it anymore."
Wei Qingfan chuckled and came over to kiss her. Li Wanyi turned her head to prevent him from kissing her, otherwise the pervert would definitely make another move. She said angrily: "Oh, you're so annoying~ I'm reading a book."
"What are you reading? Look at me!"
Wei Qingfan still hugged her and took a few bites. He hugged her again with satisfaction and turned on the TV. Seeing that Li Wanyi was still reading seriously, he looked at it curiously, ""Half an Acre of Flower Field"? This is what Miao Miao said.
that book?"
"Um."
Li Wanyi nodded, "Miaomiao has finished reading it, I'll take it over and take a look..."
"Does it look good?"
"Um……"
Li Wanyi closed the book, thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what you think is 'good-looking'. It is a girl's diary, very delicate and beautiful."
As she spoke, she stood up from Wei Qingfan's arms, sat upright, and said to him: "The author's name is Tian Wei, a student of Beijing Language and Culture University. When she was in the third year of junior high school, she was diagnosed with a very rare disease.
Sick, while going to school..."
"Then what?"
Wei Qingfan noticed her desire to share and asked dutifully, "Is it cured?"
"No."
Li Wanyi shook her head, "She passed away in 2007. She was 21 years old and in her junior year. Because she wrote a blog before and seemed to also write things on the campus network, her name was 'Half Acre of Flower Field'. After her death, her friends compiled these
The article was published in this book.”
Wei Qingfan nodded, lamented the fragility of life, and asked, "What disease does she have?"
"It's called... lupus erythematosus. Miaomiao did some research and found out that it is an immune system disease. Some people are very serious, while others are milder. The cause is unknown. It seems to be related to genetic genes..."
She said casually, but Wei Qingfan was stunned. He felt that he wanted to remember something, but he couldn't remember it, so he knocked on his head.
Li Wanyi asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"fine."
Wei Qingfan shook his head, "I just thought of something, but then I forgot about it."
