Mrs. Chu said gently, "How many parents don't treat their children well?"
Li Ke's eyes darkened and he didn't say anything else.
After entering the private room reserved by Chu Mu, the four of them sat down.
Jun Li sat next to Li Ke naturally.
Looking at the two of them sitting together, Mrs. Chu felt that they were a perfect match.
She really wanted to tell her daughter to seize the opportunity to conquer Jun Li. As long as her daughter married into the Jun family and became the third young lady, she and her young son and daughter would not have to worry about the future.
Thinking of Li Ke's distant and cold attitude towards her, Mrs. Chu resisted the urge to talk to Li Ke about these emotional issues.
Think about it, after the divorce, apart from caring about her three children at the beginning, when she remarried, her focus was on running the new home. Later, she gave birth to two more children, and she had even less time to think about Li Ke and her two siblings.
She thought that Li Yongtai had betrayed her, but after all he was the father of three children and he would not treat them badly.
She also felt that Li Ke was already sixteen years old at the time and could protect her younger siblings. This was why she did not take Li Ke with her after the divorce, leaving Li Ke to protect her younger siblings.
Even if they are mother and daughter, how good can their relationship be if they have no contact or communication for a long time?
Today, the relationship between mother and daughter is even more distant.
Mrs. Chu knew that she was also wrong.
When the Li family just went bankrupt, she was afraid that Li Ke would bring his younger brother and sister-in-law to find her and affect her new life, so she arranged for a trustworthy person to bring 20,000 yuan to Li Ke and tell Li Ke not to look for her.
She couldn't help.
Now that I think about it, she was really going too far as a mother.
In addition, she later wanted to match Li Ke and Chu Mu together. Li Ke was very smart and could easily figure out her real intention of matchmaking, so he would blame her as his biological mother.
Mrs. Chu sighed in her heart.
If she could turn back time, she would never do such a heartless thing.
Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed. In the future, she will probably have to work hard to repair her relationship with her children, just like Li Yongtai is doing now.
During the meal, Chu Mu and Jun Li were talking about business matters, and Li Ke and Mrs. Chu rarely communicated with each other. Mrs. Chu started a topic several times, but Li Ke ignored her, which made Mrs. Chu very embarrassed.
"Third Young Master, can you drive later?"
Li Ke asked Jun Li as he filled his glass of wine.
Jun Li hummed, "Okay, if you want to drink, just drink a couple of glasses, but don't get drunk."
Li Ke smiled and said, "I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
She also wanted to get drunk.
A drunk can relieve all worries.
"Ake, girls shouldn't drink too much."
Mrs. Chu gently reminded her daughter.
Li Ke said calmly, "How much can I drink? Mom, have you forgotten? I'm also the Third Young Master's assistant, so I can't do without drinking."
Mrs. Chu: “…”
Jun Li added: "I also have a request, not to let you drink too much."
Although she has a good alcohol tolerance, he doesn't let her drink too much, as it will hurt her body and stomach.
No matter what they said, Li Ke just ate and drank silently.
Anyone could see that she was in a bad mood.
Chu Mu looked at his stepmother, then at Li Ke who was drinking one glass after another, and finally he looked at Jun Li, signaling with his eyes that Jun Li should persuade Li Ke.
The king is established without giving advice.
If Li Ke wants to get drunk, let her get drunk.
Even if she wasn't drunk, she had drunk enough. When she drank too much, she talked a lot, and she was able to vent the frustration in her heart.
I have known her for almost half a year, and every time she sees her parents, she is in a bad mood.
Li Ke drank a lot of wine, but he didn't get drunk.
Finally, it was Mrs. Chu who stopped her from drinking any more. Embarrassed and tearful, Mrs. Chu said, "Ake, you can blame me, hate me, or even scold me if you want. I will never blame you, but please stop torturing yourself and stop drinking."
"It's Mom's fault. I shouldn't have come here to disturb you and affect your mood."
Mrs. Chu choked up, "Mom, we'll be back tomorrow at dawn. Don't drink anymore."
Li Ke broke free from her mother's attempt to stop her from refilling the glass, filled it up again, and drank it all in one gulp. Putting the glass down, she stood up and said to Chu Mu apologetically, "Brother Mu, I'll go back first."
"good."
Chu Mu said gently: "Be careful on the road."
Jun Li also stood up and said goodbye.
Li Ke left the private room without looking back, and Jun Li followed her.
"Ake..."
Mrs. Chu stopped chasing her daughter when she reached the door. She stood there, looking at the direction her daughter left, covering her mouth and crying.
After a long while, Chu Mu brought over a pack of tissues and handed it to his stepmother. "I've heard that Xiao Ke and her two siblings have suffered a lot over the past ten years. Their stepmother treated them very badly. Li Yongtai used to listen to Mrs. Li's words and didn't pay enough attention to the children."
"Xiao Ke doesn't want to resent anyone, but you as parents have really hurt them. Auntie, take your time."
Mrs. Chu took the pack of tissues, took out a few sheets, wiped her tears and nose, and nodded.
As soon as Li Ke got in the car, he leaned back in the seat, tilted his head towards the window and closed his eyes.
After Jun Li got in the car, he saw that she was not wearing a seat belt. He leaned over to help her fasten the seat belt and said to her, "Do you want to cry? If you want to cry, cry for a while. I'll lend you my shoulder to lean on."
"What's there to cry about? It's not like we've just been going through this for ten years."
Jun Li reached out and gently wiped her face, "You are just a stubborn girl."
"I just got back from a business trip today. If you were crying like this, I would have thought you were missing me and were so excited to see me that tears were streaming down your face."
Li Ke suddenly leaned on his shoulder, hugged him with both hands, and cried loudly: "How do you know I didn't miss you? This time, you were away on business for such a long time before coming back. I missed you, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. I didn't expect that I would miss you so much."
Jun Li said with amusement, "Why, am I not worthy of your consideration? You even used the word 'actually'."
"It's worth it. The Third Young Master is worth my thought. I'm thinking about the Third Young Master."
"Tell me, how much do you miss me?"
Li Ke left his shoulder and took out a few tissues from the box to wipe her tears. She said, "When I'm bored, I think of the Third Young Master. When I'm busy, I can't even remember who the Third Young Master is."
Jun Li: “…”
What kind of longing is this?
She should miss him so much that she loses her appetite and cannot sleep at night.
Looking at her face, she looked very healthy and even a little rounder than she was two months ago.
Jun Li thought sadly that he didn't have the charm to make her lose her appetite. Not only could she eat and drink, she must also sleep soundly, otherwise she wouldn't have gained weight.
A happy heart makes the body fat.
"Jun Li."
Li Ke suddenly called Jun Li's name. When Jun Li looked at her, she said word by word: "Give me three years. If after three years, you are not married and I am not married, I will pursue you. Either you marry me, or I marry you."
