In her previous life, Cheng Hui was soft-hearted and muddled, and lived a miserable life.
Under the tears of her stepmother, she gave her job to her sister and went to the countryside for her...
Chapter 725 This Tastes So Good
The two parties got in touch, and with Cheng Hui's address, Li Xiaoguai took people directly to find her.
Pan Lizheng and Xu Bowen were having dinner in the hotel.
Pan Li was wearing a floral dress, had her hair done, and put on some makeup, and she looked pretty good.
It's just that she is old, and that's the time when a woman's appearance suddenly deteriorates, so she still looks a bit like an old lady.
Her skin is not delicate enough, and it is yellow, spotted and wrinkled. Her temperament is not as elegant as that of a woman from a good family.
Only a trace of the weakness he used to like remained.
However, if an 18-year-old girl is weak, that's pitiful, but if a 40-year-old woman is weak... it's a bit eye-catching.
Xu Bowen's eyes moved away from her and fell on the plate of food.
When he met Pan Li on a business trip in Yangcheng, he didn't recognize her, but Pan Li recognized him.
After all, even though 20 years have passed, his appearance and temperament are still the same as before!
Although it’s a bit old, but 40s is the best time for a successful man!
Although he was Pan Li's teacher back then, he is only 7 years older than her and is not yet 50 years old this year.
When he met Pan Li, Pan Li asked him for help. He decided to help her because of their past friendship.
That was a wonderful memory back then...
However, after arriving in Shanghai, Pan Li did not go to the countryside to look for her children, but instead invited him to dinner for no reason. Her whole body revealed that she wanted to rekindle their old relationship, which made him unhappy.
Firstly, he didn't like her because the cinnabar mole had turned into mosquito blood. Secondly, his wife at home was very powerful and influential, and he was afraid that she would know.
Just as he was about to ask Pan Li to give up the search and return to the capital, a group of people rushed in front of him.
Li Xiaoguai also knew Pan Li, because she had caused trouble at the office.
"Madam, we finally found you!" Li Xiaoguai is still a dramatic actor!
I have been trained since childhood that if I don’t act pitiful, I won’t get any food.
This sentence confused Pan Li. What kind of lady is she? How come she doesn't know?
“Madam, you can just call me Xiao Li. Our factory director heard about her sister and sent us here to help you find her!
"You've been here for a few days. Do you have any new clues?"
Pan Li knew who he was at once!
It turned out to be someone sent by Cheng Hui? Is she so kind?
Even when the person was right in front of her, he was still so respectful, bending slightly to talk to her and calling her Madam...what was there to not believe?
Maybe Cheng Hui was thinking of the sisterhood and blood is thicker than water, or maybe Cheng Jianming was thinking of his daughter and asked her for help.
Who cares about her? As long as she’s here, that’s enough!
Her back straightened slightly, and in an instant she became full of energy!
"I'm looking for a needle in a haystack by myself, but I still don't have any clues." Pan Li said.
"Don't worry, we are here now, we will help you find it, whether it is a problem or not, just let us do it!" said Li Xiaoguai.
Pan Li nodded modestly and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. We came to look for you as soon as we got off the car." Li Xiaoguai said.
Pan Li said: "Then let's go eat."
"Okay, thank you ma'am for your concern!" After Li Xiaoguai said that, he took his people to sit next to their table and ordered a few of the cheapest dishes.
Pan Li frowned slightly. Who pays for their meal here?
It's reasonable for her to spend money to help her find her child. She understands this social etiquette.
But she has no money! Just a few dozen dollars a month! It is definitely enough to spend at home, but when you are away from home, you have to travel, eat, and stay in hotels, which makes you very tight!
She was trying to find a way to deduct money from Xu Bowen.
Noticing that Pan Li looked upset, Li Xiaoguai immediately said, "Our factory manager has told us that it's not safe for you to be outside alone, so we must stay by your side."
Pan Li nodded modestly. This taste is so good...
After saying this, Li Xiaoguai took out his wallet, revealing a thick stack of money. He stood up to pay and also settled the bill for Pan Li's table.
This table was ordered by Xu Bowen. In order to show off and demonstrate that he is rich and powerful, he ordered a table full of delicious dishes for 50 yuan.
Li Xiaoguai paid without blinking.
He came back and gave Pan Li a silly smile.
Pan Li came back to her senses from her shock. This time... Cheng Hui really did a good thing!
Her back became straighter! More elegant temperament~
After so many days, she finally raised her head in front of Xu Bowen!
Money is a person's courage.
She smiled at Xu Bowen and said, "Let's eat. The food is getting cold."
After saying that, he remembered that Cheng Hui was sitting next to him!
She immediately explained: "This is my former teacher. We happened to meet here, so we had a meal together to thank him for his cultivation back then."
She felt that what happened to her happened 20 years ago and these young people definitely don’t know about it. I guess the old people have almost forgotten everything?
Li Xiaoguai immediately said respectfully to Xu Bowen: "So you are my teacher, of course I should treat you to a meal!"
Pan Li breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people sent by Cheng Hui were not very thoughtful.
Yes, he must be on Cheng Hui's side and is not nice to her.
I guess he's some young man from somewhere who hadn't heard about her and Cheng Hui and came here to curry favor with her.
She added: "My teacher is now a principal in Shanghai, so he can be considered a local. With his help these days, I have found some small clues."
Li Xiaoguai said immediately, "That's great! We are unfamiliar with this place and need a local to guide us. We don't understand Shanghainese, so we need an interpreter. I wonder if the principal is free to help us for a few more days. We definitely won't let you work in vain!"
Xu Bowen has been in shock!
He only knew that Pan Li was married to a technical man and lived an ordinary life that was neither better than others nor worse than others.
He didn't ask more. It had nothing to do with him. They were people from two different worlds.
When did she become a lady? Her man got up? Where can a designer go once he gets famous? Their dean doesn’t have this ability, right?
Hearing Li Xiaoguai's words, he said calmly, "It's just a small favor, no need to ask for any benefits."
It seems like he is short-sighted. The benefits he is eyeing now are extraordinary.
He turned to Pan Li and asked, "From what they said, this person was sent by the brother of your lost daughter? Where does her brother work now?"
Pan Li smiled and said, "Not brother, but sister."
She glanced at Li Xiaoguai, not knowing whether she should reveal Cheng Hui's identity.
She knows what her relationship with Cheng Hui is like! In the past, she had thought about using Cheng Hui's influence to get things done, but later on, it simply wasn't possible in the capital.
When she met Xu Bowen before, she didn't want to mention her husband or stepdaughter at all.
She also didn't want to tell her that she had a stepdaughter named Cheng Hui, for fear that he would ask her to do something and she would not be able to do it, which would be embarrassing.
Li Xiaoguai said, "Our factory director is Cheng Hui. You know Cheng Hui, who often appears in newspapers, right?"
"What?" Xu Bowen looked at him in surprise.
It turns out to be Cheng Hui’s man?
He suddenly looked at Pan Li again. She was Cheng Hui's mother?
He immediately put on a warm expression: "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you are Cheng Hui's mother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
