Chapter 156: A brave girl is chasing me

Li Ting was distressed when he saw Sang Zhi appear at Li's house. This girl actually followed him all the way to Shanghai. She was so brave!

"Second brother, what are you doing standing there? Come inside!" Li Ying pulled Li Ting into the house and sat down.

Sang Zhi smiled at Li Ting openly and said, "Yingying had previously told me that she wanted me to open a clinic with her. I thought, since I've learned medical skills, I can't let them go to waste, so I came to Shanghai."

This explanation is because they are worried that Li Ting will have a psychological burden, right?

"Xiao Sang is also studying medicine, and he and your sister have similar interests. Mom thinks it would be a good idea for them to open a clinic together. What do you think?" Yang Mei looked at her son, her eyes full of warnings.

The second son is just a blockhead and doesn't think much. If he says something unpleasant, it will hurt Sang Zhi's face.

"If she wants to open a clinic with Yingying, then just do it. What did she say to me?"

Li Ting picked up his bowl and buried his head in his food. He and Sang Zhi were not familiar with each other, so there was no need to ask him.

Yang Mei smiled helplessly.

Li Ying was also speechless, but she didn't want to be too blunt. If she wanted her second brother to understand feelings, she had to take it slowly.

After Li Dongguo came back, he briefly told Li Ting about his work arrangements and asked him to work as an assistant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first because Li Ting's foreign language level was quite good.

"Is this true?"

Li Ting was very happy. His dream when he was a child was to become a diplomat. He never expected that after many twists and turns, he would actually join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Li Ying knew that her second brother was able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an exception because he had fought for it himself.

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

Li Ting smiled embarrassedly, but still picked up the tea and drank a cup instead of wine.

Li Pei came back very late and did not dare to disturb his family. He went straight back to his room. There was no one in the room and Ya Ru was nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know where this woman went in the middle of the night?" Li Pei muttered.

"Why did you come back just now?" Yang Mei came out of the room with her coat on and started scolding her son: "I don't know how busy you are as a factory director! You can't even take care of your wife and children. Yaru is in a bad mood today, so I'll send her back to her parents' home for a few days. You can sleep by yourself!"

Li Pei was very depressed: "Mom, how long is Yaru going to make such a fuss? Isn't it just a pregnancy? That woman is not pregnant, so why is she so pretentious?"

"Shut up!" Yang Mei slapped her son hard. "Your father and I paid for your education, giving you knowledge and culture, so that you can understand principles that others cannot. And yet you're still clinging to those feudal dregs and talking hypocritically to me?"

Yang Mei did not have these worries when she married her husband Li Dongguo. Li Dongguo was very open-minded and not old-fashioned. He was tolerant and doting towards his wife from the bottom of his heart, and the same was true for his children.

Others might feel ashamed when Li Ying came back with her child, but Li Dongguo didn't. He even thought about saving more money for his daughter and grandson.

The eldest son Li Pei’s thoughts are a bit unsatisfactory. When it comes to gender equality, he is always a male chauvinist.

"Mom, you only blame me. Am I not doing well enough?"

He doesn't smoke or drink, and comes home on time every night. What else do you want?

"Have you done well enough? Ask yourself honestly, do you really care about Yaru? When I was pregnant with you, I was in a bad mood and I lost my temper with your father. Your father never got angry with me and always tried to cheer me up. I didn't suffer any grievances when I was pregnant with you three siblings. Why didn't you inherit your father's temper?"

"Okay, I'm sleepy. If she wants to go back and stay, then she can go back. When she feels better in a few days, I'll pick her up."

Li Pei went back to his room to sleep.

In the morning, Li Pei went to the factory without having breakfast. Li Ying asked her mother to look after the child and followed him to see what was going on. At the factory gate, she saw Shuo Shuo giving Li Pei a thermos cup. Needless to say, he was making breakfast.

My brother actually answered the call.

It turns out that all men are pigs!

"Do you want to go up and wake up big brother?" Li Ting asked while chewing a bun.

Li Ying rolled her eyes at her second brother and said, "You've forgotten our plan. It's better to let my eldest brother confirm his inner thoughts. If he can't see the true face of this Shuo Shuo, then my eldest sister-in-law will still face a family crisis if she follows him."

"You want your sister-in-law and brother to divorce?"

"If big brother really continues like this, then don't bother big sister-in-law. Once a man has other thoughts, he can't stop. Today it's this Shuo Shuo, what about tomorrow? Girls grow up one after another, there will always be a few that meet your image. Instead of fighting wits and courage in marriage, it's better to divorce openly and live your own life." Li Ying took the bun from her second brother's hand, took a bite, and said, "But the prerequisite is that big sister-in-law must learn to be independent."

My sister-in-law is too docile and has been well brought up, so she suffers grievances.

In the office, Li Pei finished reading the report, stood up, opened the door, and Shuo Shuo put the lunch box on the table.

"Master, this is the meal I made. I wonder if it suits your taste. Please try it."

"Shuo Shuo, I have an appointment with Technician Liu to discuss some things today. You can keep this meal." Li Pei sorted out the documents in a businesslike manner.

Shuo Shuo looked a little disappointed and said "oh".

Li Pei looked up and saw that she was about to cry, and his heart ached instantly: "You little girl, I really can't eat the food you cooked today, are you still feeling wronged?"

"No, my hand just hurts a little."

"What happened to your hand?"

Shuo Shuo deliberately put his hands behind his back.

Li Pei ordered: "Take it out! Let the master see it!"

Shuo Shuo stretched out his hand reluctantly, with a red spot on his finger.

"Are you burned?" Li Pei dropped the documents, opened the drawer, found a tube of ointment and handed it to Shuo Shuo: "This is what Yingying gave me. It's very useful. Apply it on yourself. Remember not to get it wet."

Shuo Shuo took the ointment, glanced at her seductively, nodded, said okay, then turned and ran away.

"Shuo Shuo, your lunch box!"

Li Pei took a look at the lunch box and felt distressed, so he had to take it with him.

When he returned home in the evening, Li Pei secretly washed the lunch box in the kitchen.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Pei turned around and glanced at Li Ying: "Didn't you see? Wash the lunch box."

"Lunch box? I remember you always eat in the factory cafeteria. This lunch box looks very delicate. Is it for girls?" Li Ying really wanted to give her brother a stick to wake him up.

"This belongs to my little apprentice. She worked hard to cook for me today, so I have to wash the lunch box for her." Li Pei said as a matter of course.

Li Ying folded her arms and said, "Brother, you have a very special affection for this little disciple! I've never even seen you wash your sister-in-law's lunch box!"

"She hasn't cooked for me." Li Pei blurted out, feeling that what he said was wrong, and glared at Li Ying: "You're not going to sleep, but staring at me here. Are you looking for trouble?"

"Brother, your sister-in-law has never cooked for you, but she gave birth to your children. Can your apprentice do that? You men are really interesting. You don't think it's a big deal when your wife is pregnant at home, but you think it's a big deal when someone else cooks a meal for you outside. Since you like girls who cook, you shouldn't have pursued your sister-in-law in the first place!" Li Ying complained bluntly, making Li Pei blush.
