At the end of October, in late autumn, the capital city was still bustling and bustling.
Not stained by the desolation of autumn at all.
Xiao Changshan stood on the long street where people came and went, looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, feeling at a loss what to do.
He was once a noble young man who was highly sought after in this prosperous capital city. At that time, he was extremely prosperous.
But now, he seems to have been abandoned by the entire city and pushed to the edge.
I have been trying hard to contact Taifeng for more than a month, trying to find a way out for the Li family factory.
I originally thought that Song Yueliang was willing to meet him, but it was clear that the clouds had been cleared.
The result is all an illusion.
Song Yueliang gave him the heaviest blow ever, forcing him to open his eyes and face his current situation.
His surname is Xiao, but he has been kicked out of the Xiao family by his father and has severed ties with him. All the glory and aura of the Xiao family have nothing to do with him anymore.
Since leaving the family, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the harshness of the world that he had never tasted before.
In the eyes of outsiders, he, Xiao Changshan, is just a down-and-out dog now, with a reputation for being selfish and incompetent.
The aristocratic circle that flatters the superior and suppresses the inferior made him understand the reality.
Without the protection of the Xiao family, he is a worthless waste that everyone can step on.
He found a bench on the side of the road and sat down, watching dumbly as the shadow cast by the scorching sun on the ground grew longer and longer. Xiao Changshan slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the phone book, and pointed at the phone number on the top - his wife.
In the end, I didn’t dial the number, but chose to type and send a message.
After the message was sent, Xiao Changshan was a little stunned.
He actually couldn't remember when he started to face problems by avoiding them.
Was it after leaving the Xiao family?
Or earlier?
When I recovered from the chaotic and confused emotions, the message I sent was still lying alone in the dialog box without any response.
Xiao Changshan gave a wry smile.
It's strange that he doesn't feel surprised.
…
When she received the message, Li Shiqing was at the Gasto restaurant outside the International High School.
In the luxuriously decorated booth, across the marble round table, she raised her eyes and quietly looked at the girl sitting opposite.
Song Sining, sixteen years old, a native of Taoxi Village, Guicheng, a native phoenix flying out of the ravines.
She looks really beautiful.
She has ice muscles and jade bones, hibiscus face and peach blossom cheeks, and a pair of naturally smiling peach blossom eyes, which are moist and affectionate, yet exuding clarity and innocence.
This contradictory temperament is perfectly blended in her, and she has begun to show her ability to confuse all living beings.
When he grows up, he will definitely be a fairy that can drive people crazy.
"You can call me Aunt Li." Li Shiqing showed a gentle smile and her voice was soft, giving people a gentle and comfortable feeling. "I heard my nephew mentioned the matter between you and Mr. Xiao, and I have long wanted to ask you out for a meeting.
See, I just found the opportunity today."
"Aunt Li." Qiqi called out from Shanruliu, remaining polite.
After school ended at noon, someone came over to deliver a message to her, saying that someone was looking for her at the school gate.
At first she thought it was Brother Tiejun and Brother Huazi whom she had just contacted last night. Unexpectedly, when she ran to the school gate, she saw a beautiful woman dressed elegantly and luxuriously.
Wearing an elegant long dress that is tailored to fit her body, she exudes a quiet and noble atmosphere.
There is a slight resemblance between the eyebrows and eyes of Xiao Li.
If she hadn't confirmed the identity of the other party, she wouldn't have accepted the invitation to come here.
Listening to what the other party said, Qiqi guessed that she had taken the rumors in school seriously, so she explained seriously.
"Auntie, I have nothing to do with Mr. Xiao. Did you read the posts on the campus website? Or heard some rumors? Those are all false. Mr. Xiao and I are innocent."
"In such a hurry to explain, do you think I'm here to beat the mandarin ducks?" Li Shiqing said in a funny tone, pretending to be a joke, "Ali is my son, and I know my son Mo Ruomu. He has never been so special to any female classmate before.
I have cared about you, you are the first one. You don’t have to be too nervous, I asked you out today just to see what kind of girl I can be attracted to."
Qiqi tilted her head slightly.
I didn’t believe what the other person said.
As early as the beginning of coming to the new time and space, my family had found out all the information they could find on Dan Dan.
Including his mother's attitude towards him and what she did.
A person who is closer to his nephew than to his own son, would he care about which female classmate his son is attracted to at school?
If dad were here, he would definitely use the beautiful woman in front of him as a negative example and teach her the relevant principles.
"I ordered a lot of the store's signature dishes. You can try them all later. If you like them, I will bring them to you next time."
Li Shiqing didn't notice the calmness in the little girl's eyes, and only thought that her habitual movements were reserved. She curved her lips and said with a smile, "Don't think it's just a restaurant near the school. International High School is an aristocratic school, and the restaurants that can be opened outside the school are all very popular."
It’s famous, but of course the prices are not cheap either. This shop specializes in Italian cuisine, you must have never had it before, Auntie will take you to a full meal.”
Qiqi tilted her head again, smiled and said nothing, as if she was quietly accepting the other person's kindness.
When she was studying in Huicheng, her parents, uncle, and Aunt Dong would take turns lining up to take her to eat delicious food every week.
French, Italian, Japanese... she ate at all the high-end restaurants in Huicheng.
There is nothing on the table in front of me that I have not eaten.
Looking at the exquisite dishes served by the waiter one by one, Qiqi carefully compared them. The difference between eating in Huicheng and eating here was probably due to the different names of the restaurants.
She raised her eyes, and saw a gentle smile on the face of the beautiful woman opposite her, and her speech was still soft and soft, but there was a sense of superiority in her beautifully made-up eyes.
"Thank you, auntie." After saying thanks, Qiqi took the knife and fork and tasted the food with delicate and elegant movements.
There is nothing wrong with table manners.
The smile on Li Shiqing's face faltered, "...Have you ever eaten these dishes before?"
Her mind immediately flashed back to the black business car she had seen that day and the man in the car who was over fifty years old.
For a moment, the contempt in my heart could hardly be suppressed.
"I have, but I don't like these things very much. I prefer to eat Chinese food, which is full of color, flavor and flavor." Qiqi replied.
She picked some of the dishes on the table and left the rest there. She took the napkin and carefully wiped off the sauce on her mouth.
"Auntie, thank you for your hospitality today, but we don't have much time for lunch break. Class starts in half an hour, so I have to leave first."
Li Shiqing, "..."
"Looking at my negligence, I was having such a good time chatting with you that I almost forgot the time. I'll take you back to school. I'll find a weekend with plenty of time next time, and my aunt will ask you to go shopping."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
After the girl politely thanked her, Li Shiqing picked up her expensive handbag, walked behind the girl with a stiff smile, and saw her off.
She was busy talking just now, while there was a table full of thousands of dishes, but she didn't eat a single bite.
The wild girl from the country just can't stand up to the stage, she has no eyesight at all!
Even if I told her to eat something before leaving, she wouldn't respond so harshly!
Sometimes I have to pretend to be nonchalant and eat Coptis chinensis when I am dumb.
