Chapter Let’s talk

After checking the surveillance clearly, Butler Li quietly wrote a report to Xue Ling.

"Madam, Miss Cousin is out again."

Xue Ling nodded and asked, "Is the car owned? Are the bodyguards and psychologists accompanying you?"

"Yes, they all follow." Butler Li replied.

Xue Ling relieved her heart and said warmly: "This child is weak and not very considerate in dealing with things. She has to rely on you to worry about her coming and going."

Butler Li smiled and bowed: "You are so polite, this is what I should do."

Xue Ling said in a gentle voice: "If the bodyguard and psychologist work overtime, please help me write it down. I will make up for their overtime pay at the beginning of next month."

"Okay." Butler Li nodded: "I'll write it down later."

Xue Ling reminded: "The population is getting bigger and bigger now. Xiao Xin has a bad appetite when she is pregnant, so you have to worry about how much you can arrange the ingredients in the kitchen."

"Yes." Butler Li smiled and explained: "I have learned some of Mrs. Chen's dietary preferences. When I look back, I will discuss Mrs. Shao's recipes with the chefs. You can rest assured."

Xue Ling chuckled and said, "You are fully prepared and thoughtful, and I feel very relieved."

Housekeeper Li nodded appropriately and whispered: "Then I'll go first--"

"Wait!" Xue Ling suddenly called her.

Butler Li smiled and turned to the side.

Xue Ling's eyes were full of praise and asked: "Xiao Li, can I talk to you about some private topics?"

Butler Li nodded quickly: "Of course."

Xue Ling asked: "How old are you today?"

"I'm in my thirties." Butler Li thought for a while and replied: "I immigrated with my parents when I was in my teens."

"Oh?" Xue Ling asked curiously: "The whole family immigrated together?"

Butler Li answered yes and explained: "People in my dad's family like to run around the world. My dad was also a crew member when he was young. But my mom has always disapproved of his job and always hopes that he can work nearby and help take care of him.

Family. Later, my siblings were born one after another. It was very hard for my mother to take care of a few children alone, but my father still couldn't bear to have the high salary of the seafarers. Until later, the shipping company where he was working was going to come here to open a new company, my father recommended himself.

When I came here, the company leader agreed and transferred him a civilian job. My mother heard that the climate here was good and there were many Chinese and overseas Chinese, so she nodded in anxiety. Soon after, our family immigrated here.



"So that's it." Xue Ling praised: "No wonder you speak so well in Chinese! If you were born here, you might not be able to speak so authentically."

"Yes." Mr. Li smiled gently: "Another important reason is that my parents sent us to Chinese schools, and the classmates around them all speak Mandarin. My parents also encouraged us to speak Mandarin at home, so our siblings and sisters are the Mandarin Chinese.

All said it very well.”

Xue Ling said with a gentle voice: "It is also a fate that we can meet in a foreign country, live together under the same roof, and trust each other."

"Thank you, madam." Butler Li whispered shyly: "Fortunately, with your support and trust, otherwise I would not be able to do this job."

Xue Ling shook her head and chuckled: "You are too modest. Your coordination and management ability are very good, decent and confident, humble and generous. To be honest, I praise you endlessly. The son-in-law said at the beginning that you are very professional and do things.

I was very thoughtful in my work, but I didn’t agree. Until I got along with you more and more, I realized that he was not good enough!”

"Haha!" Butler Li laughed: "Madam, you are so happy. Every time you chat with you, you are happy and relaxed, and you can learn a lot."

Xue Ling smiled and narrowed his eyes and suggested: "If you don't delay your work, sit down and chat for a while."

"Okay." Butler Li sat on a small round chair next to him.

Xue Ling asked again: "I heard you just said that you should have a lot of sisters and brothers, right? Have you ever returned to China?"

"Four." Butler Li replied: "Three sisters, one younger brother. No, they are all here. I am the third brother, and my younger brother is the youngest. Only my younger brother is married, and all three sisters are still alone.

.”

Xue Ling asked with a smile: "Your sister should be in her early forties, right? She has no match for her?"

"I've talked about it, but I haven't gotten married." Butler Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Many overseas Chinese here have late marriage and late children, and even have no marriage and infertility."

"Oh?" Xue Ling asked in confusion: "Do you cannot accept the concept of family here?"

Mr. Li explained: "It's not only because of his high vision and strong independence. All of us sisters have received higher education and are very independent in personality. Maybe there are not many people who can choose. The Chinese here

I like to find Chinese people, but I don’t really like to find locals.”

Xue Ling nodded slowly and asked, "Is it influenced by traditional concepts? Or something else?"

"Family and individuals." Butler Li smiled bitterly: "My parents all demand this, and they are the only demands. They said that it doesn't matter if they don't require it financially and work is average, but they must be Chinese. I didn't listen to them.

But after searching, I still couldn't find a suitable one. My brother was looking for a Chinese girl, and my sister-in-law had a tradition of thinking and getting along well with our family."

Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "Most elders hope that their children will still get married to Chinese people, right?"

"Yes." Butler Li explained: "All Chinese people here are like this."

Xue Ling asked again: "Are the Chinese boys here not outstanding enough? Do you look down on them?"

"There are still excellent people." Butler Li chuckled: "For example, Mr. Chen. But no matter how many Chinese people there are, they cannot compare to local people. They do not have the advantage in terms of quantity, and the range of choices is obviously small. Those who immigrated here have been immigrated here

The older generation has a more traditional mindset, and the younger generations taught are generally well-behaved, receive higher education, and become white-collar workers. Of course, some of them have a big family and a very influential business community here."

Xue Ling nodded slightly and asked as if he was pointing out: "It shouldn't be difficult to investigate someone here, right?"

"It's not difficult." Butler Li said the truth: "Mr. Chen has a very wide connection here. Just tell him and he will be able to do it soon."

Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "The child is not mature enough, and he is worried about being a grandfather. He said he would help check it so that she would avoid being deceived. This person who is not familiar with the place is difficult to judge."

I originally thought Xue Han was just a whim and everyone didn't take it to heart, and Xue Ling didn't want to interfere too much.

But Xue Zhilan said that she has come back late recently, looking infatuated as if she is in love, and is worried that the bar and entertainment venues here will be too chaotic and that her granddaughter will suffer.

There is no need to investigate it too clearly. Just make sure that the other party is not a gangster or someone with unknown identity. The elderly do not have high requirements at all.

Butler Li suggested: "Madam, you can ask Mr. Chen for help, I believe there will be good news soon."

"Okay." Xue Ling nodded: "Thank you."

Butler Li felt puzzled, but it was difficult to ask too clearly, so he stood up and smiled and stepped back.

Logically speaking, the wife just needs to ask Mr. Chen to do it, why did she talk so much with her?
