One hundred and seventy still confused
Aside from a slight bruise on his chin and a few punches, Li Lianhui was basically unharmed.
Actually, everyone could see that Sixth Senior Brother had shown mercy; otherwise, even with Luo Da's previous skill level, he would have fared much worse, let alone Li Lianhui, who hadn't really put in much effort in his training...
However, some people just deserve a beating, like Li Lianhui. After being beaten up, he probably felt a surge of energy and became very cheerful, completely changing his usual silent and unassuming demeanor.
The Li sisters, Li Wei and Li Lin, were quite puzzled. They sat on their sofa, drinking tea and eating snacks, and discussed, "No wonder some massages require pounding and pounding to feel comfortable. So that's why."
Li Lin popped a peanut into her mouth, chewed it making a crunching sound, and after hearing her sister's conclusion, she said fiercely, "She's just itching for a beating, a jerk, and deserves to be beaten!"
Ding Anni was already laughing as she lay down on the sofa: "Haha... My dad and brother both said that men need to be tempered and polished. Jade doesn't become a gem without being carved. Your Li Lianhui will definitely amount to something in the future, haha..."
Li Lin was annoyed: "Did your dad say how to toughen you up and mold you? Otherwise, what if you become a good-for-nothing in the future?"
This time, Li Wei laughed so hard she fell to the ground, while Ding Anni jumped up and started fighting with Li Lin, both screaming loudly.
Luo Da, who was only wearing a jacket and baggy pants, drove Li Wei and the others back to their home, since it was more comfortable and had more amenities there. Li Lianhui didn't come back; he said he and his brother Hua would be staying at their place that night.
As soon as Li Wei got home, she called Aunt Gao and asked her to go over there the next day to serve breakfast to the two young masters. She said she, Li Lin, and Ding Anni could just make something for themselves.
The next morning, Li Wei got up to make breakfast. Don't count on Li Lin; that girl stayed up late watching TV with Ding Anni last night and probably won't be up for a while.
Li Wei ate a few bites herself, put the food in the steamer to keep it warm, thought for a moment, wrote a note and put it on the table.
Li Wei changed her clothes and took a taxi directly to the company. She hadn't been there in a while, so she thought it would be a good opportunity to check on things, especially regarding Luo Da's situation. She was quite troubled and wanted to ask her aunt's opinion, since her aunt had come around around this time.
Moreover, among all her relatives and friends, her aunt Cheng Fei was the only elder she could confide in, and she was also a young and insightful elder.
The company was already quite prestigious, and Li Wei had only been there a few times. She was wearing a mask and hat, and the security guard, a young man, didn't recognize her either. He wouldn't let her in.
Li Wei told him to call Xiao Sun in the office before letting him in. Just inside the gate was a paved road lined with old trees. At the end of the road was the office building.
Cheng Fei's office was still located in a relatively large room at the far end of the second floor. Xiao Sun was still in a small cubicle near the door, with a computer on her desk. She was typing and processing documents while also receiving and arranging for visitors. However, now there was another girl sitting next to Xiao Sun, making it two people.
Sun Ying saw Li Wei come in. She quickly stood up and said with a smile, "The big boss is free today! President Cheng just arrived. He was just saying you were on vacation and might come over."
Li Wei smiled and nodded: "You go ahead with your work, I'll go in and take a look."
Watching Li Wei go inside and hearing the office door open and close, the girl sitting next to Sun Ying asked, "Sister Sun, who is she? I've never seen her before. Is she a relative of President Cheng?"
Xiao Sun is no longer the rookie he was when he first joined the company. He has clearly become more sophisticated. The smile on his face gradually faded as Li Wei went inside. He glanced at the girl and said, "Finish that document quickly. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Be discreet, especially with that girl. Be polite when you see her. We can't afford to offend any of us."
The two-person working group consists of one member and one leader; Sun Ying is the leader.
After finishing speaking, he continued checking the report for any omissions, as it needed to be submitted later. The girl wasn't exactly honest either; she slightly pursed her lips and continued typing dismissively.
Cheng Fei had just taken off her coat and was sitting in front of her desk, holding a teacup. She was taking a sip of tea while looking at the design drawings on a piece of sketch paper on the desk.
The door was suddenly pushed open. Looking up, he laughed and leaned back in his office chair, saying, "You're really something else! I was just thinking you might come back in the next couple of days. Have you been home yet?"
Li Wei took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door. She sat down on the sofa and said, "I came back yesterday afternoon and had a martial arts class last night, so I didn't go to your house. I was just thinking about Dingding. I was saying I'd go over to see him tonight. Auntie, please sit here. I have something to discuss with you."
Feeling exhausted from being so far away, and Li Wei was about to get to the point, afraid that if she talked too much about other things, she might accidentally let slip that her aunt had found out what had happened these past two days and would worry about her.
Cheng Fei smiled, noticing that Li Wei was indeed in a bad mood. She picked up her teacup and strolled over, gently sitting down on the sofa opposite Li Wei. "So young and carefree," she said with a smile, "tell me, what can your aunt do to help you?"
Although Cheng Fei is still young, her demeanor and temperament exude a calm, elegant, and outstanding charm. She is confident yet unassuming, beautiful yet not superficial, and mature and reserved.
Even Li Wei, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but praise: "Auntie, you really look like Vivien Leigh from Gone with the Wind. You're beautiful and have great style."
Cheng Fei chuckled and put down her teacup: "Looks like you're alright. You even have the mood to chat about random things. I was a little worried."
Li Wei immediately put on a bitter face: "Yes, of course I am! I was just captivated by your charm, and I just struggled to stand up. Please stop laughing, or I'll be completely charmed by you again."
Cheng Fei couldn't help but laugh again: "Alright, stop spouting nonsense. If you don't say anything, I'm not going to listen anymore."
Li Wei leaned lazily against the sofa: "Sigh. I'm tormented by love!"
What Li Wei thought was a perfectly serious statement almost made her aunt burst out laughing. While wiping away her tears with a tissue, the aunt pointed at Li Wei and said, "Say something serious!"
Li Wei was very upset. Wasn't she serious enough? "I'm serious. Yesterday, that... you know, the eldest son of the Luo family, Luo Jianhua's son, told me that he was interested in me and wanted me to be with him, otherwise he would ignore me from now on."
This is serious enough, isn't it? This is a big deal! To Li Wei's surprise, her aunt actually... actually laughed until she started wiping away tears. Was she really that excited? Li Wei looked up at the ceiling, speechless.
"Oh my...cough cough...this is so funny...haha..." Cheng Fei felt that Li Xiaoming had specially come to cheer her up today; she hadn't laughed like this in a long time.
However, judging from Li Wei's expression, this was a big deal for someone, and she seemed quite confused. He quickly composed himself and tried to sound as professional as possible: "I always thought you two had been exchanging glances for a long time, didn't I? Did I misunderstand?"
Li Wei nodded, "You've misunderstood. Many people misunderstand. One more won't make a difference."
Cheng Fei glanced at Li Wei's expression: "Okay. Maybe I misunderstood, but have I ever told you about women having two penises?"
Li Wei shook her head. What root? She knew about the woman flower, but had never heard of the woman root.
Cheng Fei continued, "I've always felt that women have two roots. One is family, and the other is career."
Li Wei looked at her aunt: "It seems so. There are plenty of women who only have families and no careers, and quite a few women who don't have families at all."
"You're talking about a narrow view of career and family. The family I'm referring to isn't just your own small family, but also your parents and relatives. And career isn't like what you and I are talking about; it means having a decent job, regardless of the income, something to rely on and make a living."
Cheng Fei picked up her water and took a sip. Seeing that Li Wei was listening attentively, she continued, "Let's not talk about others, let's just talk about you. You have the love of your parents and siblings, and your family is wealthy. At least you're quite happy before you get married. But it depends on whether your own family will be happy in the future. Having someone who truly loves you and having a family is very important."
Li Wei felt it was a bit too early: "Auntie...isn't this a bit premature?"
Cheng Fei still smiled: "Let me finish. You've encountered this situation now, haven't you? Let's talk about career. This career, no matter how big or small, is the root of a woman's soul, just as it is the root of her material life. Without this soul, a woman is nothing more than a biological being, and there's no way to talk about spiritual happiness and joy. You, on the other hand, have been blessed with this from a young age, so... let's talk about you."
After all that talk, she's finally starting to talk about herself. Oh right, what did she just ask?
Cheng Fei, with an air of calm and collected confidence, said, "What you lack now is a small family that can guarantee your happiness for the rest of your life. You need to find a reliable man. As for this reliable man, you should find one when you're older. That's how it usually is, right?"
Li Wei —
Cheng Fei changed the subject: "But with your family background and looks, do you think you can so easily find someone who truly loves you and not just your money?"
Huh? Li Wei really hadn't noticed when she became synonymous with money.
Seeing that Li Wei hadn't thought much about it, Cheng Fei became more serious and said, "You'll have to face this in the future, but since you brought up Luo Jianhua, let me share my thoughts. You two grew up together, know each other well, and have a good relationship. I can see that he really treats you very well. Unlike most boys, he's been sensible and mature since childhood, and what's rare is that he's also hardworking and shrewd. I can tell that your parents actually like him quite a bit too; otherwise, do you think they'd be so comfortable with you two going in and out together? Besides, the Luo family and your family have a good relationship; they've been neighbors for many years and know each other well..."
When Li Wei arrived at the suite-style office her aunt had prepared for her on the top floor, she still felt dizzy. After talking for a while, it seemed her aunt either approved of her early romance or disapproved.
It seems like they agreed, saying something like, "You should become famous, make money, and fall in love as early as possible, otherwise you'll lose interest and start thinking too much when you get older."
Li Wei admired her aunt quite a bit; she was an expert in love and work, but it seemed she was also an expert in divorce in her previous life.
Can she really believe what her aunt said? She needs to think about it carefully herself.
The thought of Luo Da ignoring her in the future made her feel helpless. She suddenly felt like she had lost her support. But was Luo Da really reliable? Couldn't she wait a few years until he was a little older before trying to figure it out?
