"That can't be called ungrateful."
Jun Li said, "If you become a stranger to us after you're doing well, and you don't help us when we're in trouble, and even kick us when we're down, that would be ungrateful."
"You've started your own business now, and your business is doing well. You can quit your job at Fengchen Villa. I asked my sister-in-law to arrange a job like that for you because I wanted you to have no psychological burden."
Li Ke said gratefully, "I know, but I'm very satisfied with the job. I also like to plant flowers and grass. Third Young Master, please don't chase me away."
Jun Li tilted his head to look at her, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Li Ke, you didn't quit your job. Are you afraid that after leaving Fengchen Villa, it will be inconvenient for you to see me in the future?"
Li Ke: "...I want to see the Third Young Master. I can go to Fengchen Hotel and see him, unless he doesn't want to see me."
"I thought you were afraid of not being able to see me anymore, so you didn't want to quit your job. I was just flattering myself."
Listening to Jun Li's words, Li Ke almost impulsively told him that she really did it for him.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Li Ke swallowed them back.
Can’t say, can’t say now.
Who knows if Jun Li is testing her?
Maybe, once she admitted it, he would immediately kick her out of Fengchen Villa and never see her again.
The men of the Jun family all look gentle and polite, but in fact, they all have a cruel and ruthless side, and this cruel and ruthless side is shown to their admirers.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Li Ke's cell phone suddenly rang.
She pulled Jun Li's suitcase with one hand and took out her cell phone from her coat pocket with the other. Seeing that the caller ID was Chu Mu, she quickly answered the call.
"Xiao Ke, where are you?"
Chu Muwen's deep voice came.
"I'm at the airport. What's going on? The Third Young Master is back, and I came to pick him up."
Li Ke explained.
"Young Master Jun is back from a business trip. It's nothing. I was on a business trip to City A again. This time, my aunt came with me. She said she missed you very much and wanted to come and see you three siblings, so I brought her here. She's now in your beauty salon."
Her mother came over.
Li Ke said, "Brother Mu, I can't come back so soon. Please help me settle my mother first. I will come to you when I am free."
"We're staying at the Fengchen Hotel. When you're done, come find us and we'll have dinner together tonight."
Chu Mu suggested.
His stepmother wanted to match him up with Li Ke. After he explained everything to his father, his father probably had a good talk with his stepmother, and his stepmother never mentioned it again.
But the stepmother's thoughts made Li Ke dissatisfied with her biological mother.
The mother and daughter contacted each other less frequently, and it was almost always the stepmother who took the initiative to contact Li Ke.
Chu Mu guessed that Li Ke was blaming his mother in his heart.
This time, he was on a business trip to City A again, and his stepmother asked to come with him. He knew that his stepmother wanted to repair her relationship with her three children, so he agreed to her request.
Having dinner together in the evening allows mother and daughter to chat up close.
No matter what, they are mother and daughter. It was not her fault that the stepmother divorced. It was Li Yongtai who cheated.
The only bad thing was that after the divorce, she didn't take much care of her three children. After remarrying and having more children, his stepmother devoted herself to his younger siblings, and cared more about him as her stepson than she did about Li Ke's two siblings.
Li Ke may not hate his mother, but Li Yan and Li Ming do resent their parents.
"Let's have dinner together tonight... Brother Mu, wait a minute."
Li Ke asked Jun Li softly, "Third Young Master, when do you want me to treat you to dinner? I might not be free tonight."
"Who called? Chu Mu?"
He heard her call the other party Brother Mu.
I guess it’s Chu Mu.
During the two months that he was away on business, had the relationship between Li Ke and Chu Mu become so good?
"Yes, my mother came here with him. Brother Mu said we should have dinner together tonight."
"Then let's eat together. It won't affect your invitation to dinner."
Jun Li wanted to observe how close Chu Mu and Li Ke were.
Li Ke: "...Okay."
She said to Chu Mu on the other end of the phone: "Brother Mu, I will go to Fengchen Hotel to meet you tonight and have dinner together. The Third Young Master will also be there."
Chu Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. You go ahead and do your work."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Mu put away his smile and said to his stepmother, "Auntie, Xiao Ke is out now and won't be back soon. Let's go back to the hotel first. Xiao Ke will come to the hotel to have dinner with us in the evening."
Mrs. Li, now Mrs. Chu, looked disappointed after hearing what her stepson said. She said, "Can we go to school to see Xiaoyan and Ming?"
Chu Mu said, "The weekend will be here soon. School is closed on weekends, and Xiao Ke will pick up her brother. Li Yan is a senior high school graduate and only comes home once a month. She probably won't be able to go home this weekend. You should wait until the weekend to see your eldest son."
Mrs. Chu was silent.
There was no mention of going to see the second daughter and eldest son.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Chu finally stood up and followed Chu Mu out of Li Ke's beauty salon.
Coincidentally, Li Yongtai just happened to come over on a women's motorcycle.
He also bought two boxes of snacks for Li Ke, knowing that his eldest daughter liked sweets.
At first, Li Yongtai hadn't seen his ex-wife yet, he saw Chu Mu at a glance.
I feel annoyed.
Chu Mu actually came to City A again, and came to the beauty salon to disturb his eldest daughter again.
Chu Mu and Li Ke are like brother and sister, but Li Yongtai is wary of him like a thief, worried that Chu Mu will develop romantic feelings for Li Ke.
Li Yongtai felt indescribable emotions because his ex-wife married Chu Mu's father and gave birth to a son and a daughter after marriage. If Chu Mu really had any improper thoughts about Li Ke, he would be so angry that he would die.
Li Yongtai parked his motorcycle, got off with two boxes of snacks, and strode towards Chu Mu, his voice filled with displeasure: "Mr. Chu, why are you here again?"
Whenever he came to visit his daughter, he would often meet Chu Mu.
"Uncle Li, I came to see Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke is not in the store now. If you have anything, you can call Xiao Ke."
When Chu Mu responded to Li Yongtai, he turned his head to look at his stepmother who was following him.
Li Yongtai did not notice his ex-wife at first, but Mrs. Chu recognized her ex-husband at a glance.
The two had been married for more than ten years and had shared hardships. Even after divorce and remarriage, Mrs. Chu could still easily recognize her ex-husband.
At this time, Li Yongtai also saw Chu Mu's ex-wife behind him.
He originally wanted to say a few words to Chu Mu, but after seeing his ex-wife, he suddenly became speechless and stared at her blankly.
The eldest daughter is already in her twenties, so the couple are actually not young.
However, after Mrs. Chu remarried, she lived a good life. Her husband was willing to spend money on her upbringing. After giving birth to five children, she looked ten years younger than Li Yongtai is now.
