Chapter 160 Not all parents love their children
Sheng Zhaohui looked a little grim when he left, but he didn't say anything.
Li Mai was silent for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Why did you come back today?"
Zhou Songyan's voice softened: "I missed you."
Li Mai's eyes crinkled with a smile: "You didn't dump your work on Secretary Sun again and run back here by yourself, did you?"
Zhou Songyan rubbed her fingers together: "There was a problem with the work over there, and it can't be resolved in a short time, so I came back first."
Is it tricky?
"Fortunately, I still have to go before the Chinese New Year."
Li Mai nodded to indicate that she understood.
She grabbed Zhou Songyan's wrist and glanced at her watch: "Oh dear, I forgot to pick up Chengcheng."
Because of Sheng Zhaohui's meddling, she completely forgot the time to pick up her child.
Zhou Songyan took her hand: "Together."
Zhou Songyan drove the two of them to the kindergarten.
“MaiMai, if you feel unwell, tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself.”
Zhou Songyan freed one hand to take hers.
Li Mai turned to look at him: "A little."
“Zhou Songyan, do you think I was a bad woman in my past life, and did a lot of bad things, which is why I met such parents in this life?”
Li Shirong doesn't love her; Sheng Zhaohui only wants to use her.
Fortunately, she never expected fatherly love; otherwise, she would have been even more heartbroken to see a father like that.
Zhou Songyan felt a sharp pain in her chest.
“MaiMai, this has nothing to do with you. You need to know that not all parents love their children. You were just unlucky to have met them.”
“But no one can be unlucky forever. You have me, you have Chengcheng, and your grandma and dad all love you. You will be surrounded by love from now on.”
"Zhou Songyan, you're so cheesy."
Li Mai's eyes reddened, she turned her head away, and a tear fell onto the black leather chair.
Zhou Songyan took her hand and put it to his lips: "If you cry because you are moved or happy, I will allow it. If you cry because you are sad, I will not allow it."
Li Mai wiped away her tears, turned around and glared at him: "You even care if I cry."
Zhou Songyan smiled and said, "That's right. From now on, I hope you will be happy and joyful every day with me."
"You're being cheesy again!"
Zhou Songyan: "Don't you like it?"
Li Mai said with a nasal tone, "Yes, I like it."
"I'm glad you like it, I hope it makes your days sweet."
Li Mai: "..."
She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
“Zhou Songyan, people outside say you are cold, ruthless and difficult to talk to. They probably don’t expect that you are like this in private, President Zhou.”
Seeing her smile, Zhou Songyan followed suit with a slight smile: "My gentleness belongs only to you."
Li Mai shook his hand: "You said it yourself, if I catch you smiling at other women, being gentle with other women, you're dead."
"Don't worry, I value my life."
The two chatted casually.
Li Mai remembered Sheng Zhaohui.
“Zhou Songyan, although Sheng Zhaohui is my biological father, I have no feelings for him. If he asks you for something or wants you to invest in him, you can ignore him.”
Zhou Songyan: "Everything I own is yours. You can't just refuse to give it to me."
Li Mai smiled as she listened to those sweet words.
She doesn't really consider everything Zhou Songyan owns as hers.
Some things you should just listen to and not take seriously.
She now has a house to live in and tens of millions in savings. Last time she checked her bank account, her second uncle found that there were twenty million in the account he gave her.
She's a multi-millionaire now, and she could live a very comfortable life even if she never worked again.
She doesn't buy luxury goods, so 70 million is more than enough for her.
Therefore, she had no interest in Zhou Songyan's property.
She only had eyes for Zhou Songyan.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, there were no parents queuing up at the entrance.
Li Mai called the teacher, and a few minutes later, the teacher brought Chengcheng out.
Li Mai thanked the teacher and got into the car with Chengcheng.
"Honey, something came up today and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Chengcheng sat obediently in his child safety seat: "Mom, it's okay, I read for a while and the time passed quickly."
Li Maiwan'er.
My son is so well-behaved.
Chengcheng glanced at Zhou Songyan.
Dad is finally back from his business trip.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he missed his dad a little bit.
Zhou Songyan also glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and the father and son stared at each other for two seconds.
I'm home.
Li Mai went into the kitchen to cook, while Zhou Songyan assisted her.
Chengcheng is building a car. This Lego car is very complex, and it took him quite a while.
I glanced up at the kitchen and saw Dad whispering something in Mom's ear. Mom laughed and playfully hit him.
Chengcheng shook his head and then lowered his head to continue assembling the car.
...
Knowing that Sheng Zhaohui had gone to see Li Mai, Qian Hui had a big argument with him.
"Sheng Zhaohui, what do you mean? You're not going to keep this family anymore, are you? You want a divorce, so you can marry Li Shirong and bring her and that bastard child back, right?"
Sheng Zhaohui: "I have no intention of divorcing you, don't overthink it."
"Ha, I'm overthinking? You went to see that bastard, how could I be overthinking?"
“Don’t keep calling me a bastard. Li Mai is also my daughter.”
These words acted like a blower, fueling the fire in Qian Hui's heart.
He pounced on Sheng Zhaohui and started scratching him again.
Sheng Zhaohui couldn't dodge in time, and several more red marks appeared on his face.
"Qian Hui, can you stop making a scene? I went to see Li Mai for the sake of the company. She's Zhou Songyan's darling now, and she even gave birth to a child for the Zhou family. I was thinking of talking to her and Zhou Songyan to get him to invest in our company's real estate project."
Qian Hui then stopped.
"Is that really all you want?"
"Of course! If I wanted to find Li Mai, I would have gone to find her long ago. Why wait until now?"
After calming down and thinking about it, Qian Hui realized that it was indeed the case.
Sheng Zhaohui has never mentioned Li Shirong and her daughter in all these years, as if he has forgotten that he has a daughter.
But allowing Li Mai to marry into a top-tier wealthy family like the Zhou family means that Li Shirong would have to climb over her.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"You should find a way to prevent Li Mai from marrying into the Zhou family, and let our daughter Xiao Xi marry into the Zhou family. Why should that bastard marry so well?"
Sheng Zhaohui frowned, somewhat disliking Qian Hui's words.
Although he had no feelings for Li Mai, she was, after all, his daughter.
“Zhou Songyan doesn’t like Xiao Xi, what can I do? If I anger the Zhou family, I’ll only end up with nothing.”
Qian Hui pouted.
She hated Li Mai and her daughter, but she wasn't unreasonable; some things can't be forced.
She and Sheng Zhaohui are one entity; the interests of the Sheng family represent her interests, and she cannot disregard the company's interests.
After figuring it out, she calmed down a lot.
"Did Li Mai agree to help?"
No, Zhou Songyan came back later, so I didn't say anything more.
Sheng Zhaohui sat down on the sofa, smacking his teeth.
Qian Hui said unhappily, "Why shouldn't she agree?"
