Zhou Sui didn't take the matter to heart, because Li Baolai didn't call again afterward, which meant the matter was resolved.
As for Li Baolai's claim that he secretly ran away from home, Zhou Sui didn't bother to verify it. In short, she wasn't interested in that family's affairs.
But sometimes, the more you try to avoid a person or thing, the more likely it is to come knocking on your door.
"Let me take you in." On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Sui finished tidying up the shop and prepared to go home and stay until after the New Year before going to the city.
She had originally planned to drive back herself, but when Song Qi'an heard that she was coming back, he simply followed her and eagerly became her driver.
"No need." Zhou Sui shook her head. Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship, Song Qi'an had frequently appeared at the Zhou family home. After so many times, Zhou Sui didn't know how to explain it anymore.
"You should go back now. Aunt Wenxiu called you and is waiting for you to come home for dinner."
Seeing that Song Qi'an was still standing there without moving, Zhou Sui simply reached out and pushed him, "Go back, I'm only a few steps away from my door."
Afraid that her hands would get cold outside, Song Qi'an quickly stuffed them into her pocket. "Okay, I'll come again tomorrow. I'll go back after you go inside."
Actually, Zhou Sui wanted to say that there was no need to rush, but she knew that if Song Qi'an wasn't allowed to come over tomorrow, he would probably explode.
"Okay, I'll go in then." Zhou Sui had just turned around when she saw a car slowly driving out from next door.
It's Zhou Peng's car.
"Brother, are you going out?" Zhou Sui stopped and asked.
"Um, I have something to do and I'm going out for a bit. Don't wait up for me for dinner." We agreed to have dinner at Zhou Sui's house tonight.
Zhou Sui glanced at Song Qi'an beside her, wondering if Zhou Peng had seen what the two of them had just done.
However, Zhou Peng seemed to be in a hurry and didn't notice Song Qi'an. He said something to Zhou Sui and stepped on the gas, and the car slid off.
"Go inside quickly." Song Qi'an waved to Zhou Sui while still standing there. The weather was too cold. People felt their ears were freezing after standing outside for a while. Song Qi'an noticed that Zhou Sui's ears had turned red.
Zhou Sui followed the instructions and entered the gate. At first glance, she saw the somewhat dilapidated van again.
Another member of the Li family has come?
She remembered what her mother had said last time: Li Fuyou and Zhao Xiaohua wanted to bring Old Lady Li to town, but they wanted to rent the Zhou family's house. Could this visit be about the same thing again?
When Zhou Sui went in, their conversation seemed to be coming to an end.
Li Xiaohua was particularly enthusiastic when she saw Zhou Sui, "Sui Sui, I was just talking about you. We really owe Bao Lai a lot for what happened last time."
"Being a big boss in the city is different. You're very capable. One phone call and the police come to your door and solve the problem."
Um?
Zhou Sui quickly said, "I just called the police." If she didn't say anything that could be easily misunderstood, people who didn't know better would really think she was some kind of powerful figure.
"Oh dear, it's all the same, it's all thanks to you that our Bora is alright." Zhao Xiaohua's praise sounded a bit too eager.
Zhou Sui didn't reply. She laughed awkwardly twice, and Li Fuyou nudged her with his knee, giving her a meaningful look.
"By the way, Sui Sui, you've come at the right time. We came here to tell you that you should spend the Chinese New Year at our home this year."
Go to the Li family's house for the New Year?
"It would be so nice if our whole family could get together and have a reunion dinner with Grandma, it would be so lively and fun," Zhao Xiaohua said exaggeratedly.
But none of the people in the room responded. Zhou Dayong and Li Qiuju remained indifferent and showed no reaction. As for Zhou Sui, she was sipping her tea, as if she hadn't heard anything.
The large living room suddenly fell silent. Zhao Xiaohua looked awkwardly at Li Fuyou, signaling him to smooth things over.
