After the last exam bell rang, Li Ke felt as if the entire campus was boiling.
The students cheered like wild beasts coming out of their cages, and rushed home one by one.
Especially for first-year high school students, it is really liberating. They can take more than a month of vacation at will.
Students in the second year of high school need to come to school for tutoring during the summer vacation, but students in the first year of high school do not need to come to school. They can go home after receiving their summer homework.
Li Mengjiao was very worried. She didn't know where she should go. There was no one at home.
His younger brother, Li Menglong, was taken home by Li Jianye. His mother, Wang Cuilian, was a distant relative of the Li family. She was nominally the nanny of the Li family and actually only had to take care of Li Menglong.
In other words, Li Jianye, his current wife, and Wang Cuilian are now living in the same house. This strange situation has been going on for some time.
Tao Yi has been in bed with her for many years, but the only thing she can't let go of is her only daughter, Tao Xin, for fear that she will be bullied.
After she was widowed, she originally planned to live alone with the child. When she gave birth to her daughter, she suffered a heavy haemorrhage and had her uterus removed, making her unable to have any more children. No man would accept an infertile wife, and Taoyi knew this very well.
But Li Jianye was different. He said he didn't care, he just wanted to live in a world of two, and he could treat Tao Xin as his biological daughter.
Tao Yiren didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but open his heart to Li Jianye's greetings day after day. He sent umbrellas on rainy days and fans on sunny days. Aunt Qi knew it better than he remembered and would send brown sugar water on time.
In addition, he is also very romantic and always creates a lot of small surprises. Sometimes it is a red rose, sometimes it is a concert ticket. He always keeps her preferences in mind.
Taoyiren fell unknowingly, and finally plucked up the courage to take him home, but met with strong opposition from his father. His father had always been iron-blooded and strong, and to be honest, Taoyiren had long been fed up with his father's arbitrariness.
It's not that Tao Yiren doesn't know that Li Jianye wants his father's power and can help him save twenty years of struggle. But if he is willing to treat himself well all his life, Tao Yiren is willing to help him.
Tao's father's fierce opposition only strengthened Tao Yiren's determination to stay with him, and the two secretly obtained their marriage certificate behind his father's back.
How could parents resist their children? Tao's father could only hold his nose and accept this son-in-law.
In the first two years after their marriage, Tao's father never used any of his connections to help Li Jianye, but Li Jianye remained calm and continued to play the role of a good husband and father conscientiously.
Later, Li Jianye began to move around privately in the name of Tao's father. Seeing that his daughter was living a happy life, his father gradually acquiesced in these things. Li Jianye rose all the way up and was very proud of himself.
When did things start to change? Probably after Li Jianye's position became higher and higher, he began to socialize more and more, came home later and later, and became more and more impatient with his wife and stepdaughter.
There was only an empty shell left in the marriage. Fortunately, the superficial peace could still be maintained. Tao Yi could only turn a blind eye and put his time and energy into his daughter, training her to be admitted to a key university.
The real breakup was the year Tao's father retired. Li Jianye didn't even want to pretend anymore, but he didn't want to get divorced because he was afraid it would affect his career. He was even more afraid that all the gains he had made after years of hard work would be wasted.
So, there is the current situation.
When Li Jianye got home from get off work, he first went to the room on the first floor to take a look at his son. Li Menglong was patiently practicing pen calligraphy, while Wang Cuilian was peeling grapes and feeding him dutifully.
"Dad, are you off work? It's hard to come back so late." Li Menglong also learned how to please his father under Wang Cuilian's advice.
Li Jianye was indeed very happy. He walked over and touched his son's head, "It's not hard. As long as you study hard, everything dad has will be yours."
A greedy look appeared in Wang Cuilian's eyes, and she quickly covered it up when Li Jianye turned his head.
"Cuilian, I feel sorry for you. I don't trust anyone else to take care of our son. Only if I leave it to you can I sleep well at night." Li Jianye held Wang Cuilian's hand and said gratefully.
Wang Cuilian took out her hand, put it on her back and rubbed it secretly, "No aggrievement, I am a mother, and it is not my duty to take care of my son. As long as I can watch my son grow up, I am willing to be a nanny for the rest of my life.
I just ask Mrs. Li not to embarrass Xiaolong anymore. He is just a child. What is wrong with him? It is us adults who are wrong. Whatever anger she can throw at me, I will bear it."
Wang Cuilian said aggrievedly.
Li Jianye's expression changed when he heard this, "Did she lose her temper at Xiaolong?"
"Well, Xiaolong couldn't bear to shoot a ball in the living room for a while today, which disturbed her rest." Wang Cuilian explained.
"Okay son, dad will take you to the stadium on weekends. There are all kinds of balls, including football, basketball, and badminton, so you can have fun.
Usually your main task is to study hard and don't mess with your aunt, you know?"
Li Menglong nodded very sensibly. His mother lied. She didn't lose her temper. She just told him to keep his voice down.
Although he cannot understand the turbulent world among adults, he can read faces and know whose side to side with.
"I just brought it with me, thank you dad. I will work hard and won't embarrass you." Li Menglong said.
Li Jianye nodded with satisfaction and returned to the room. As expected, he still had to bring his son to him to raise him.
As for Tao Yiren, he thought about it and went to the third floor to take a look.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a cough.
Li Jianye knocked on the door and walked in, "How is your health? Do you want to find a famous doctor for you?"
"Li Jianye, you don't need to be pretentious. Isn't it just as you wanted me to die early?" Tao Yiren said, patting his chest.
"That's not the case. After all, I still have feelings for you after we are married, but you also have to understand me. I am a man, how can I not have my own biological son in my life.
If my son makes you unhappy in any way, just tell me and don't get angry at him. He is just a child. What can he do wrong? It's me who is wrong. If you have any anger at me, you can get angry at me."
"Li Jianye, believe it or not, I didn't lose my temper with your son." Tao Yiren didn't bother to explain.
"Okay, then just think that the nanny at home is just talking nonsense. I'll teach her a lesson later." Li Jianye and Xi Ni had clear disbelief in their eyes.
"I'm going to rest. You go and close the door. If possible, I want to leave the country as soon as possible." Tao Yi said weakly.
"You know, in my position, my family cannot go abroad for a long time."
"Then divorce, divorce, Li Jianye, I beg you, please let me go."
