Chapter 655: Strange Mr. Li
"Alas..." Lin Jiamin sighed softly, "It's all my fault. I wanted to take Yi Nuan with me to apologize to Miss Xue in person, but I didn't expect that my inappropriate words caused Miss Xue to misunderstand. She left the capital in anger and I don't know where she went. There's still no news... She's a little girl, she must not be deceived out there."
Huo Junshan asked, "Are you okay with your injury?"
"I...I'm not hurt."
"You don't have to help Xue Jun hide it. She stabbed you and ran away out of fear, right?"
Lin Jiamin was silent for a while, then said, "Ms. Xue was also impulsive. She is so young, so it's understandable..."
Huo Junshan snorted coldly, "Jia Min, you're so kind! I think she's really so bold as to actually hurt you! Now that she's gone, don't even think about coming back. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Just take care of your health."
"Junshan, Miss Xue has never been out of town. What if something happens?"
"You, do you still care about others now?"
"It has nothing to do with me. It's just that you like Miss Xue, and I'm afraid you'll be sad..."
Huo Junshan's heart was moved. "If I say I like you, I still like you the most. Don't worry about others. Just take care of your injuries, okay?"
"Yes, I will."
The couple chatted about family matters for a while before ending the call.
Lin Yinuan couldn't help but admire, "Aunt, your trick is really brilliant!"
With just a few words, he turned the facts upside down, making his uncle dislike Xue Jun.
"You should learn from this in the future, okay?" Lin Jiamin glanced at her.
"I know, auntie."
"However, we can't let our guard down now. We must find Xue Jun and make sure to abort her child." A hint of cruelty flashed in Lin Jiamin's eyes.
"Aunt has sent so many people, she will definitely be able to find her."
…
"Mom, why doesn't Dad come to see me anymore?" Mason blinked his eyes, his puzzled expression endearing.
"Dad has encountered difficulties at work recently and is very busy. He doesn't have time. Once Dad resolves the difficulties, you can come to see Mason." Wen Liang comforted him in a gentle voice.
Mason had a look of loss on his face, but said nothing more.
"Mason, would you like to go to another city with your mother?"
"Dad doesn't want me anymore?"
"It's not that Dad doesn't want you anymore, it's that Dad doesn't have time. When Dad has time, he will come to pick you up."
"Okay." Mason said helplessly in Chinese.
He has learned some simple Chinese words.
"It's almost time, let's go to Brother Shen Shen's house."
The last time they met, Wen Liang and Ms. Mei added each other on WeChat.
It happened to be the weekend, so she asked Ms. Mei and Shen Shen on WeChat if they had time to hang out. Ms. Mei then took the opportunity to invite her and Mason to her home.
"good!"
Thinking about meeting little Shen Shen soon, Mason finally showed a smile on his face.
Ms. Mei lives in the suburbs near the East Fourth Ring Road in Chaoyang District. The community here has a beautiful environment and the housing prices are lower than in the city center.
Ms. Mei works in a bank and her husband is an executive of a company. They are not from a wealthy family, but they are middle class who pursue a higher quality of life.
When we arrived at the gate of the community, Ms. Mei greeted us warmly.
"Sister Mei, why are you waiting outside? It's so cold."
"I'm just worried you won't find it."
"Mason, call Auntie."
"Hello, Auntie."
Mason has become quite proficient in these polite expressions.
"Good boy, let's go in quickly."
Ms. Mei’s home is on the tenth floor, with three bedrooms and a living room. It is exquisitely decorated and very warm.
"My husband is not home today because he's at work. It's just Shen Shen and I at home."
As she spoke, Ms. Mei unlocked the door with her fingerprint, opened it, and called inside, "Shen Shen, Aunt Wen and Brother Mason are here."
Shen Shen ran out and said, "Hello, Auntie, Mason, come here and watch cartoons with me."
The house is well heated and very warm.
Wen Liang helped Mason take off his down jacket and said, "Go play with Brother Shen Shen."
"Um."
Mason was still a little reserved and sat cautiously on the edge of the sofa.
The cartoon playing in the living room was in English, and the familiar language eased his nervousness.
Brother Shen Shen is so thoughtful.
Ms. Mei placed a plate of cut fruit on the coffee table and said, "Mason, come here and have some fruit."
"Thank you, Auntie," Mason said stiffly.
"You're welcome. I'll put it here. Take it if you want to eat it."
Shen Shen used a toothpick to pick up a piece of cantaloupe, put it in his mouth, and then stuck another piece for Mason, "Here."
"Thank you, brother."
Wen Liang saw the oven, chopping board, and dough on the dining table and asked Ms. Mei curiously, "Are you going to make pastries?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do on weekends, so I like to make something like this. This time, I'll let you taste my cooking skills."
"Sister Mei is really amazing, can I try it?"
"Of course, I'll teach you."
So, Mason and Shen Shen sat on the sofa together watching cartoons, while Wen Liang learned how to make baked snacks with Ms. Mei. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
At this moment, the door opened.
A man in his thirties walked in, dressed in a suit, with a tall figure and handsome face. He was stunned when he saw Wen Liang, "Qingqing...are there guests?"
"Let me introduce you to my new friend, Wen Liang," Ms. Mei looked at Wen Liang again, "Sister, this is my husband, Li Pengzhan, you can just call him Brother Li."
Wen Liang greeted Li Pengzhan, "Hello, Brother Li."
Li Pengzhan twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Hello, hello."
"Didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you back so early?" asked Ms. Mei.
"I came back to get some documents. My assistant is waiting for me downstairs."
As he spoke, Li Pengzhan walked into the study and took out the documents. "Qingqing, I'm leaving first. You can entertain the guests."
"Be careful on the road."
"Goodbye, Brother Li."
The door closed.
Wen Liang praised, "Sister Mei, you are beautiful, clever, and have a leisurely job with a high salary. Brother Li is handsome, successful in his career, and Shen Shen is smart and lovely. Your family is really enviable."
Ms. Mei was indeed very satisfied with her family. She smiled and said modestly, "It's not as good as you say."
In the underground garage, Li Pengzhan returned to the car. His face was stern, his lips tightly pursed, and he looked like he was worried. He asked, "Did Mr. Bai go to the company today?"
The assistant and driver replied, "I went there and saw his car."
"Then let's go back to the company."
"Ah? Mr. Li, aren't we going to the convention center?"
"Go back to the company first."
"……oh."
The assistant was confused and had to turn the car around as instructed.
Arriving downstairs at the company, Li Pengzhan pushed open the door and got out of the driveway. "Wait here for me. I'll go upstairs and say a few words to Mr. Bai and then I'll be back."
"good."
The assistant agreed, but felt strange.
Mr. Li came back just to talk to Mr. Bai?
Then why not just make a phone call?
Maybe it involves company secrets and is not convenient to talk about it over the phone?
