When Li Mingxi heard Dong Sisi say she wanted to ask for leave, he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, I'll take a leave. You've had so much happen to you recently, you deserve a good rest!"
At this point, Li Mingxi directly suggested, "I think you should just ask for leave today. Last night, when I got home, grandma was still nagging about you not coming over. You can go back and ask for leave soon, and then go back with me. Then, grandma won't complain about why I didn't bring you back with me!"
Dong Sisi wanted to ask for leave, mainly because she wanted to investigate her mother's matter. She thought about it most of the night before, and she felt that something was wrong, especially the attitude of the new workshop director when he talked about her mother. There must be something wrong!
She had rarely heard about her mother in the factory before, but now that someone brought it up out of the blue, she subconsciously wanted to know more about her mother's youth!
After Li Mingxi spoke, he kept waiting for Dong Sisi's reply. Seeing that she looked embarrassed, he spoke in confusion.
"What's wrong? Sisi, do you have something to hide?"
Dong Sisi hesitated and said, "No, it's not that. It's not that I still have some work to do, so it's not easy to ask for leave now. The factory has just stopped suspecting me. If I ask for leave now, the factory leaders will definitely think I'm dissatisfied with the way things were handled!"
After a pause, she continued to explain.
"Besides, our new workshop director praised me over the loudspeaker this morning. If I leave now, wouldn't that be a bit embarrassing?"
Dong Sisi was not like this before. Li Mingxi never told her to think twice before doing anything, so she asked directly.
"Sisi, tell me the truth. Are you hiding something else from me? Why do I feel like something's wrong with you?"
Seeing Li Mingxi staring at her intently, as if he wanted to see something from her, Dong Sisi was so scared that she quickly started to explain.
"No, Xiaoxi, you misunderstood me. What could I possibly be hiding from you? I just feel like I haven't finished my work yet, so I'm being irresponsible and asking for leave!"
"Besides, the new workshop director is very nice to me. In this case, I can't let her down!"
I thought Li Mingxi would understand me, but unexpectedly, when she heard this, she directly continued with the conversation.
"Is that so? That's even better. Think about it, since she's interested in you, then you were wronged a few days ago, and it's normal for you to need to adjust now. She will definitely understand you on this point!"
After saying this, Li Mingxi kept staring at Dong Sisi's expression. She wanted to see how Dong Sisi would respond.
She had a worried look on her face. She sighed first, and then spoke in a desperate manner.
"Okay, Xiaoxi, I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to take a leave!"
Li Mingxi stared at her intently and asked.
"Why? Why don't you want to take a leave? I don't understand. What's the matter that needs to be resolved now? What's the matter? You think you're not miserable enough now? Right?"
Originally, Dong Sisi didn't want to tell Li Mingxi. After all, this was just her personal guess. If she said it now, it would not look good!
But Li Mingxi has already pushed her to this point. If she doesn't say anything, she might misunderstand her in some way!
Thinking of this, Dong Sisi spoke directly.
"It's not a big deal. There's a new workshop director in the factory. From what she said, it seems like she was quite familiar with my mom. I think she must know something about her past!"
At this point, her mood suddenly darkened. "You know, my mom died in the line of duty. Logically, I remember my parents having a good relationship. But now my dad never mentions my mom once. I'm starting to wonder if there's something going on!"
After hearing Dong Sisi say this, Li Mingxi understood very well.
In fact, she has been very confused all along. Although she has never met Sisi's mother, it is not difficult to tell from what people have said about her that she is a career-oriented woman.
Logically speaking, such a person would never look for someone like Dong's father. After all, Dong's father looks like a more introverted type. But why did the two of them get together like this?
Moreover, after Sisi's mother passed away, Dong's father quickly remarried. If he really had his deceased wife in his heart, he would never accept another woman so quickly!
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi subconsciously glanced at Sisi, and then recalled the look on Dong's father's face.
Suddenly an idea came into Li Mingxi's mind.
Could it be true, as Wang Fang said before, that Sisi is not actually Dong Dad’s child?
But this matter has been resolved before. Facts have proved that Sisi is indeed Dong's father's child. What is going on?
Li Mingxi felt that her mind was now a mess. There were too many things involved, far beyond her imagination!
Seeing Li Mingxi rubbing his head and looking very uncomfortable, Dong Sisi asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Xiaoxi, I saw you rubbing your head. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Li Mingxi shook his head. "No, I was just thinking about something and felt a little uncomfortable!"
Having said that, she glanced at Dong Sisi and continued.
"It's okay if you don't ask for leave, but I think you should be careful. If you get framed again by accident, that wouldn't be good!"
Having said that, Li Mingxi suddenly spoke again as if in a warning.
"That Secretary Chen is still doing well in the factory. You have to stay away from him during this period. Otherwise, if he causes trouble for you again, no one will be able to save you!"
Knowing that Li Mingxi said this for her own good, Dong Sisi smiled and agreed, "Okay, I know, don't worry!"
Li Mingxi looked at Dong Sisi's innocent and ignorant face and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by her.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Look, we're almost there!"
After hearing what Dong Sisi said, Li Mingxi hurried forward and saw a department store not far away with people coming and going. It seemed that some good things had arrived today.
At this moment, two little girls nearby spoke up. "We have to hurry up! My cousin said yesterday that a batch of woolen cloth will arrive today. It's so hard to find, so she specially asked someone to save some for me. Let's go! Let's go quickly. There are so many people here. What if someone steals it away from me?"
