Chapter 29 Li Mai, Please Help Me

Zhou Songyan: [Li Mai, please help me.]

Li Mai hesitated for a while before replying: 【Okay, I'll be there in a bit.】

Li Mai asked Ji Wangyu for leave and drove to Mingxi Hospital.

As soon as she got out of the car, Zhou Songyan appeared in front of her.

She paused for a moment.

Zhou Songyan: "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find it, so I came to pick you up."

Li Mai: "Thank you."

Li Mai followed Zhou Songyan to the VIP ward.

Grandma, are you feeling better?

When Grandma Zhou saw Li Mai, her face crinkled with laughter.

"Little beauty!"

Li Mai: "..."

This form of address is embarrassing.

"Grandma, my name is Li Mai."

"Granddaughter-in-law!"

Li Mai: "..."

Zhou Songyan covered her face in embarrassment.

Li Mai blushed and explained, "Grandma, you've misunderstood. Mr. Zhou and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Grandma Zhou held her hand and said, "I don't care, I've decided you're my granddaughter-in-law. I liked you the moment I saw you, and you saved me. We're so destined for each other!"

Li Mai was extremely embarrassed and tried to pull her hand away, but the old lady held it tightly.

She turned to look at Zhou Songyan, hoping he would explain.

Zhou Songyan gave her a helpless look.

If he had a better plan, he wouldn't have called Li Mai.

Grandma Zhou pulled Li Mai aside and asked, "Granddaughter-in-law, where are you from? Are your parents here? What do they do for a living?"

Li Mai lowered her head: "Grandma, I grew up in Suzhou."

She did not answer the last two questions.

They didn't live in Suzhou at first, but moved there later.

As for where she used to live, her mother wouldn't say, and she didn't dare to ask.

Grandma Zhou noticed something but considerately didn't ask any further questions.

I chatted with Grandma Zhou for half an hour.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mai stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll come see you again next time. You must eat well and take good care of yourself."

Grandma Zhou smiled broadly: "Yes, yes, I will! You have to come see me again!"

Li Mai smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhou Songyan escorted Li Mai out of the ward and was about to walk her downstairs.

Li Mai didn't stop him, as she happened to have something she wanted to say to Zhou Songyan.

"Mr. Zhou, Grandma has misunderstood. Please explain to her."

Zhou Songyan put one hand in his pocket and glanced at her.

“It’s no use, I’ve explained it to her, but she won’t listen.”

Li Mai pursed her lips.

I don't know what to do.

"Mr. Zhou, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't say anything to Grandma."

She was afraid that Zhou Songyan would think she was up to something and trying to harass him.

The elevator arrived, and there were people inside. They went in together.

They haven't said anything yet.

We arrived at the first floor.

The two walked out of the hospital and arrived at the parking area in Limai.

Zhou Songyan: "My grandmother has her own ideas, and once she's made up her mind, there's no point in explaining it to her."

"You don't need to worry about it."

"I don't blame you."

Li Mai: "That's good. Goodbye, Mr. Zhou. I'm going back now."

She opened the car door.

“Li Mai”.

Zhou Songyan called out to her.

Li Mai paused, her hand resting on the car door, and turned to look at him.

Zhou Songyan's dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to draw people in.

Li Mai's heart was pounding.

Zhou Songyan took two steps forward, standing only an inch away from her.

“Li Mai…”

Li Mai felt like she had returned to five years ago, when Zhou Songyan called her so gently.

But she quickly regained her senses.

That little incident is long gone.

Zhou Songyan is no longer the Zhou Songyan of the past; he is now the heir of the Zhou family.

Perhaps he did have a little crush on her back then.

Five years have passed, and that little bit of feeling has long since vanished.

That kiss was nothing more than a man's impulse towards a woman.

In Zhou Songyan's eyes, she was a vain woman.

Li Mai looked away, quickly got into the car, and drove away.

Car rearview mirror.

Li Mai saw Zhou Songyan standing there, staring at her.

She panicked and quickly looked away.

...

A few days later, You Huan returned, bringing Li Mai and Cheng Cheng local specialties and souvenirs.

Li Mai made hot pot at home.

As the weather gets cooler, hot pot is a comforting treat.

Chengcheng: "Mom, I'm full."

Li Mai handed him a tissue: "Go play after you've eaten."

"Mmm." Chengcheng took the tissue to wipe his mouth, threw the tissue into the trash can, and went into his room to build Lego.

Zhou Songyan bought him the Lego set, and he likes it very much.

Li Mai looked at You Huan, whose face was as rosy as a peach blossom and whose complexion was much better than before her trip.

"Senior, your trip was worthwhile."

You Huan covered her mouth and smiled.

"It was definitely worth the trip; I slept with a young, handsome guy for one night."

Li Mai: "..."

You Huan stuffed a piece of meat into Li Mai's mouth: "What's so surprising? Didn't you tell me to find some young, handsome men?"

Li Mai: "..."

She chewed twice and swallowed the meat.

She did tell You Huan to find a young, handsome man, but she didn't say she'd sleep with him right away.

That's too fast!

You Huan's face showed a pleasant expression, as if she knew what Li Mai was thinking.

"Young and handsome men are fine to sleep with, I don't intend to develop a long-term relationship with them."

Actually, that "young and handsome" guy wasn't really a young and handsome guy; he was just a year younger than her.

However, he has remarkable physical strength.

That night, she almost couldn't handle it.

However, looking back, the experience was still very good.

Li Mai was silent for a moment, then said, "Whatever makes you happy."

My senior's last relationship was quite frustrating, so it's good to live a carefree life. The most important thing is to be happy.

"Should I look for a job next?"

You Huan nodded: "I'll start sending out resumes tomorrow."

Li Mai wanted to suggest that You Huan go to the Ji family.

But You Huan also worked as a secretary before.

Ji's currently has no such recruitment in this regard.

However, my senior is very capable, so many companies will definitely want her. There's no need to worry about her finding a job.

You Huan glanced at Li Mai: "How are things between you and Zhou Songyan?"

Li Mai paused for a moment.

"Nothing much happened. What could have happened between us? We broke up years ago."

You Huan: "Zhou Songyan didn't say anything?"

What is he going to say?

You Huan: "..."

She was silent for a moment, then patted Li Mai on the shoulder: "Forget it, we don't need this man. Just like me, find a younger, fresh-faced guy."

Li Mai smiled through her tears: "Okay."

You Huan: "Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk!"

Li Mai looked at her amusedly: "How are we going to proceed?"

"People who know I have a son all want to stay as far away from me as possible."

"Tch! You don't live with them anyway, so don't bother with those people. Or come with me to a bar sometime, there are lots of young and handsome guys there."

"Forget it, what about Chengcheng?"

"Yes! No one's watching the little guy."

"Oh, I have an idea. I'll send Chengcheng to Zhou Songyan."

Li Mai sighed, "No way."

If Zhou Songyan knew that she had left the child with him to go out and have fun, he would scold her to death.

Zhou Songyan knew that she had left Chengcheng alone at home, and she was inclined to blame her.

However, Zhou Songyan didn't know that Chengcheng was his son, so he didn't interfere too much.
