Mei's father remained silent.
Mei's mother glanced at her daughter-in-law and said nothing. Her daughter-in-law was the head of the household, and she was counting on her to take care of her in her old age.
Xiao Li already knew about Mei's parents' temperament, so she wasn't disappointed.
The original owner's job was as an assistant at an advertising design company, a position that was only slightly better than doing odd jobs.
After Xiaoli arrived, she produced several project proposals and was promoted and received a raise. Of course, she didn't tell anyone.
Her move out was actually one of the benefits the company gave her—a small two-bedroom apartment.
Xiao Li placed a potted green ivy on her desk. Sitting opposite her was Lü Jiarong, who had once helped the original owner of this body. Now, the two were colleagues in the same office.
Lu Jiarong looked over and gave him a polite smile.
Wow, what a handsome young man!
123 kept complaining in its mind. It had recently become addicted to watching mature women and young men.
Xiao Li locked it in the dark room and gave Lü Jiarong a smile.
Lu Jiarong blushed; the colleague who got promoted was quite good-looking.
Xiaoli is very knowledgeable about design. Although she has not studied it formally, she has a lot of experience, knows a lot of materials, and has a lot of references to draw on.
Therefore, she was quickly appreciated by her boss.
Once, a client commissioned the studio to develop an advertising plan for their online store, and the manager sent Xiao Li to accompany Lü Jiarong.
After a week of hard work, the task was successfully completed, and the mall was very satisfied.
The leader gave Xiaoli a large bonus that month.
That evening, 123 told Xiaoli that the leader, Dong Zhimin, had taken Xiaoli's proposal for himself and reported it to the head office.
Xiao Li never expected to encounter unspoken rules in the workplace. She sneered and went online to investigate.
Whether it's on your computer or a backup, it will be automatically destroyed as soon as you open the folder.
This is her habit; she always keeps something in reserve.
The next day, she submitted her resignation and left the studio gracefully.
After she left, Dong Zhimin opened the folder with a smug look on his face. It was good that she was gone; he felt more at ease using the plan now.
The next moment, his eyes widened. The folder was empty. He opened the backup, but it was still empty.
He slumped into his chair, and cold sweat broke out on his brow as he thought about the documents he had already submitted.
He quickly tried to contact Mei Xiaoli, wanting to buy the plan from her, but found that he had been blocked and could no longer contact her.
Xiao Li didn't care how the head office would handle it; she picked up her luggage and went home.
Why are you back?
Mei's mother asked in surprise, "My daughter is successful in her career and is preparing for the next round of blind dates. Why is she carrying luggage? Has she lost her job?"
Xiao Li walked towards her room. "I've resigned. I'm going to take a break for a while."
She pushed open the door and found that it was already occupied.
“Your nephew is getting older and should sleep in a separate bed, so…”
Mei's mother was a little embarrassed; she knew it wasn't right to give the room to someone else without discussing it with her daughter.
However, there are only four rooms in the house. Besides the room for the elderly couple, the room for their son and daughter-in-law, there is only Xiaoli's room.
"Your sister-in-law is trying to conceive recently, and it's inconvenient for the children to live together."
With a forced smile, Mei's mother said, "Why don't you move to the living room? You can put up a curtain in the corner and set up a small bed there; you can still manage to sleep there."
Xiao Li turned around. "Mom, there's no place for me here anymore, is there?"
Mei's mother was caught in a dilemma. Why couldn't her daughter be more understanding?
"Xiaoxiao, you know our family's situation..."
Xiao Li lowered her head, concealing her emotions.
"I don't know. All I know is that the Mei family can no longer tolerate me. In that case, I'll just leave."
As Mei's mother watched Xiaoli pull her suitcase out, she felt a little disappointed.
She was troubled because she realized that her house was too small to accommodate everyone.
"Xiaoxiao, where are you going?"
Xiao Li ignored her; she didn't know where to go either.
"I asked your Aunt Li to arrange a marriage for you. Remember to keep your phone on, I'll call you when the time comes."
Xiao Li stopped in her tracks. "You don't need to worry about my marriage. I'll handle it myself."
Mei's mother was taken aback. What did this mean?
Xiao Li had already walked out and closed the door.
Sitting in the living room, Mei's mother felt very upset. Her daughter was also her precious child, but she was getting old and would have to rely on her son and daughter-in-law to take care of her.
Thinking that her daughter was already 26 years old, she felt a little relieved, assuming that her daughter would take good care of herself.
Xiao Li dragged her suitcase along the road, constantly thinking about where would be a good place to buy a house.
The original owner's major was advertising design, which she was quite interested in and planned to pursue a career in this field.
Opening your own studio would be a good idea.
When she reached the coffee shop, she stopped and decided to go in for a coffee before continuing her journey.
“Master, the southern suburbs are a good place. It’s close to the main city and has nice scenery. They might build a park there in the future, and the surrounding area will definitely be developed into a residential area.”
123, hurry up and give me some ideas, it has a lot of them.
Xiao Li thought about it for a moment, and realized that the place was indeed nice and suitable for living.
"Alright, let's go over there and take a look. If there's a suitable place, we'll stay."
She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and met the eyes of the person outside the window.
