Chapter 146 Mrs. President, Let's Go Home for Dinner
Li He looked at him calmly, his tone equally indifferent, "You need it."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him angrily, "If President Li insists on forcing it, I can choose to resign."
Li He curled his lips in disdain, looked up at him, and his gaze seemed to penetrate him.
"Do you know why you can't win her heart? It's not because you're not as rich as me, nor is it because you're not as good-looking as me."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him.
He knew that Vivi liked this man not because of his money or looks.
If he thought he was pretty good before he met Li He, then why didn't Weiwei have any feelings for him?
Li He: "It's because you're lacking something very important."
Ji Mingxiu was still looking at him.
Li He: "Confidence."
Ji Mingxiu was stunned.
confidence?
It was like a sudden enlightenment.
Confidence, yes, confidence.
He lacked confidence in front of Bo Wei.
From the very beginning, he looked up to her with a gaze of reverence.
She could easily get first place in the whole grade, and no one could ever surpass her.
She was quiet and reserved, neither flamboyant nor boastful, and she didn't have the rebellious phase of adolescence like her classmates. She was always calm, composed, mature, and mysterious.
She never dresses up, yet her plain face is beautiful; she's effortlessly beautiful without even realizing it.
She had everything he liked and everything he wanted.
That kind of admiration, over a long period of time, has become a habit ingrained in one's bones.
In order to keep up with her, he tried to change himself and become like her, constantly imitating her.
He tried his best to maintain a perfect image in front of her, afraid that she would look at him with a critical eye.
At this moment, he began to have doubts.
Ultimately, did he love Bo Wei, or the person he wanted to become?
His pursuit of Bo Wei for so many years was perhaps less about liking her and more about admiration.
No, no, that's not it.
He immediately denied it in his mind.
It's not that he admires Bo Wei, but rather that he dislikes Bo Wei.
Perhaps, habits ingrained in our bones, slowly nurtured by our flesh and blood, have long since transformed into a kind of liking.
"Mr. Ji, today may be one of the few opportunities in your life where you can quickly change your life. Are you really not going to seize it?"
"Although Bo Wei doesn't love me for my money, I have no money, so where does my confidence come from?"
"Based on my brief understanding of Mr. Ji, he has very high standards and is someone who strongly admires the strong. The woman you like must have something that you admire. Are you going to just watch the woman you like marry someone else next time, without the confidence and strength to fight for yourself?"
"Don't hold grudges against anyone. Only make the right choice. That's all I have to say. Mr. Ji, please consider it yourself."
After Li He finished speaking, he got up and left.
Ji Mingxiu remained seated, listening to the sound of the door closing.
I slowly shifted my gaze to the file folder and stared at it for a long time.
Finally, he picked up the file bag and left.
Bo Wei had a very difficult afternoon.
Because we're going to the Li family's house for dinner tonight.
Although Grandma Li He gave her a big surprise, she accepted her so quickly and seemed quite satisfied with herself.
But what will be the attitude of Li He's other family members towards this person who suddenly appeared?
That must be hard to accept, right?
She had only ever met his sister.
Moreover, there was some unpleasantness last time.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt.
"It's time to get off work, boss lady. What are you daydreaming about?" Wendy asked, tidying up as she looked at her.
Bo Wei then glanced at the time on her computer; it was already five o'clock.
My heart tightened again.
"Don't call me boss lady, Sister Wendi." Realizing what she had said, she said helplessly to Wendi.
Wendy, who doesn't joke often, nodded.
Xu Xiangying interjected playfully, "Yes, Mrs. President."
Qiao Yuechuan: "Yes, Mrs. President."
The others burst into laughter.
Bo Wei sighed helplessly.
A strong gaze made her look up instinctively.
Looking up, she met Li He's teasing gaze.
Bo Wei: ...
In the office, everyone followed Bo Wei's gaze.
The noisy office fell silent instantly.
President Li appeared on the upstairs corridor at some point, his hands in his pockets, looking dashing and handsome.
How similar the scene is.
Without saying goodbye, everyone quietly packed up and left.
After everyone in the office had left, Li He leisurely walked downstairs.
He walked over to her workstation, looked at her, and said, "Madam President, let's go home for dinner. Grandma is urging us to go."
Bo Wei: ...
The Maybach drove into the estate, and Bo Wei opened the car window to look at the breathtaking scenery outside.
The autumn wind carried the scent of pine, and she once again felt a strong sense of sudden social upheaval.
The car was parked in front of the luxurious and magnificent pediment.
Bo Wei sat in the car, feeling extremely uneasy.
Li He got out of the car first, walked over to her, and gentlemanly opened the car door.
"Get down."
Bo Wei looked at him with pain.
Li He smiled, reached out his hand, and said in a much gentler voice, "Get down."
Bo Wei took a deep breath and offered him her hand.
After getting out of the car, she took his arm and led him inside.
Every step I took was filled with trepidation.
Passing through the gate and into the inner courtyard, the scenery was pleasant, but I had no heart to appreciate it.
Inside the house, everyone heard footsteps.
"They're here." The old lady smiled and looked towards the door.
The others also looked over.
The footsteps grew closer, and soon, two exceptionally handsome figures appeared hand in hand at the doorway.
The living room is very large; you can't see it all at a glance.
Bo Wei's gaze fell on a few sofas; what a large group of people!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on him.
Suddenly, she felt her legs go weak.
Li He secretly lent her his strength.
When I looked at her, all I saw was her aloof and cold face.
Li He unconsciously curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
The two stepped into the living room.
On the sofa, a beautiful woman dressed in a low-key yet elegant evening gown stood up.
Her eyes held a faint smile; though her features were striking, her demeanor was dignified and elegant.
"You're here." She stepped forward to greet her, her eyes fixed on Bo Wei.
Bo Wei's anxiety eased a little as she took that step forward to meet her.
The aloofness on his face gradually faded, replaced by shyness.
"Call her 'Mom'," Li He told her.
Bo Wei looked at Li He's mother and shyly called out, "Mom."
Li He's mother smiled broadly, "Oh, good child. Grandma said your name is Weiwei?"
"Yes, my name is Bo Wei, Wei as in 'Ziwei' (紫薇)."
Li He's mother smiled and nodded, then took her hand and led her inside.
"Come, sit down and let's talk."
Bo Wei nodded and followed her, her eyes not daring to wander.
As she approached, the old lady on the sofa looked at her with a big smile, "My little darling is here, come on, sit next to Grandma."
Bo Wei immediately called out, "Grandma."
Seeing this, Li He's mother led her to the old lady's side, saying, "Sit next to Grandma."
Bo Wei nodded, "Okay."
Li He's mother released her and gracefully returned to her seat.
Bo Wei sat awkwardly next to the old lady, and she could feel out of the corner of her eye that everyone was looking at her.
Li He glanced at her, walked over to her, and found that the small sofa was already too small for a third person to fit on it.
He casually sat on the armrest, lazily placing his hand on Bo Wei's shoulder.
