Chapter 11 My People
Li Jichuan has always been a person with few desires.
When Grandpa was still in relatively good health, I always felt that something was wrong with him, so I secretly asked a famous doctor to prescribe Chinese medicine and asked Uncle Wang to coax him to drink it.
Li Jichuan cooperated and proved with his own actions that no medicine was effective for him.
He was genuinely not interested.
After the car accident, Li Jichuan had completely categorized himself as someone who would never have such desires.
Until today, this belief was shattered by a little mute boy...
Although Su Pu was standing behind him, the mirror placed next to the wardrobe directly in front of Li Jichuan betrayed Su Pu, reflecting his porcelain-white skin and the pair of delicate butterfly bones behind him that spread out like a pair of wings when he stretched out his arms.
Knowing full well that it was indecent to look at, Li Jichuan secretly clenched his fist—
He was destined to be rude.
Su Pu was quick; he was dressed in less than half a minute.
His new outfit consisted of straight-leg trousers paired with a white shirt, which served as his "interview attire," making him look tall and sharp.
He felt that this outfit was also suitable for meeting his parents for the first time.
The bathroom was finally empty. The people in the next room seemed to be engrossed in a game. Su Pu seized the opportunity and quietly pushed Li Jichuan away.
This time, Li Jichuan's posture when getting into the car was a little awkward as he sat in the back seat with Su Pu.
Li Jichuan mentioned a place, and the dark gray Cayenne disappeared among the dilapidated tenement buildings.
Only one gaze from the first-floor window remained fixed on the spot, lingering there for a long time...
...
The next stop is a boutique that is only open to VIP customers.
The sales staff cleared the area before they arrived.
She put together three outfits according to the client's needs, placed them all in the fitting room, and thoughtfully prepared some snacks.
This was also Su Pu's first time entering such a place. She followed Li Jichuan cautiously behind him, afraid of doing something wrong.
Li Jichuan went into the fitting room, and Su Pu stood expectantly at the door like a loyal little dog waiting for its owner, which amused the salesperson.
"Hello, you can wait over on the sofa and try our snacks."
Su Pu waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
He was afraid the food here was too expensive, and charging extra would be a waste of Li Jichuan's money.
Although she knew perfectly well that her husband didn't lack that amount of money at all.
After waiting for five minutes, Su Pu finally started to move, heading towards a row of shelves next to her.
The clothes in the store were categorized by brand. Su Pu picked out a shirt and thought it would suit Li Jichuan very well.
If the price is right, he wouldn't mind buying it for him.
When he looked at the label, he realized he didn't recognize any of the currency symbols.
I asked the salesperson and found out that this thin white shirt actually costs 15,000 yuan.
Moreover, the salesperson described this price as "quite cost-effective".
Su Pu withdrew her hand, somewhat afraid to look any longer.
“Su Pu…”
Li Jichuan's voice came through the heavy curtain.
Upon hearing the sound, the little dog Su Pu immediately took its place and stood outside the curtain waiting.
"Could you please come in for a moment?"
Li Jichuan's voice was slightly slow, as if something bad was about to happen.
Su Pu, of course, crawled inside without a second thought.
The fitting room is a hidden world; this is what life is like for the rich.
The interior space is spacious, with a full-length lighting system and a dressing mirror, and even a low table with fragrant cakes and tea sets on it.
Is this for trying on clothes or having afternoon tea...?
Before she could dwell on it any longer, Su Pu rushed to Li Jichuan's side and looked at him anxiously.
The emotions in her big, round eyes were so palpable that she didn't even need to say a word.
Because he was anxiously asking: What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?
Seeing him like this, Li Jichuan relaxed and tugged at the shirt he had taken off halfway.
"It's stuck."
Su Pu immediately understood and leaned over to look. It turned out that the rope of the clothing tag was tangled with the hidden snap on the back of the wheelchair. No wonder Li Jichuan couldn't take it off by himself.
Su Puli swiftly helped him escape the predicament.
After taking off his shirt, Li Jichuan's physique was fully revealed.
Because he had been working out for years, even after the car accident, his muscles were strong and well-defined, making him look as robust as a game character model.
Su Pu pursed her lips, took a step back, and her ears were already red.
I don't know what perfume Li Jichuan is using, but it smells really nice, and it makes my nose itch.
“Su Pu…”
At this crucial moment, Li Jichuan called him several times.
Su Pu could only quickly glance down and wait for his instructions.
"Either move aside, or help me with my shirt?"
Li Jichuan loosened his hand on the remote control stick of his wheelchair and let out a helpless laugh.
Su Pu: ?
The next second, he belatedly realized that he was blocking the clothes rack.
Su Pu: ...
He quickly made amends by taking off the neatly ironed black shirt and handing it to Li Jichuan.
The other party was quite generous and put it on right in front of him.
Buttons were fastened one by one.
Su Pu is about to catch fire...
No, can buttoning up clothes be this sexy?
Li Jichuan, the ancient Greek god of desire!
"How about it?"
Li Jichuan asked leisurely.
After a few seconds, Su Pu nodded blankly and started typing.
【nice! 】
Li Jichuan raised an eyebrow and picked up the white shirt he had just tried on.
"What about this one?"
It looks good too!
"Everything looks good?"
It was already beautiful...
His gaze swept over a patch of clothing, and then Li Jichuan looked at Su Pu.
"Since they're both nice, why don't you buy them for me?"
Su Pu also looked at it for a while, but didn't hesitate for long before lowering his head to type.
【good】
"You agree with this too?"
This answer was unexpected by Li Jichuan.
Do you know how much these clothes cost?
Is it because she took a card from her family that she bought clothes to please him?
But Su Pu pursed her lips and nodded firmly.
If you like it, I'll buy it for you.
...
When they came out of the boutique, they had both changed into new clothes.
They're still wearing matching outfits.
Li Jichuan adjusted his collar, looking slightly uneasy.
"It's all for my grandfather. I feel that if I wear the same clothes, he'll be more likely to believe me."
Su Pu didn't dare to move at all; his outfit alone cost fifty or sixty thousand.
Not to mention, Li Jichuan waved his hand and ordered the sales staff to prepare a set of clothes from both brands in his size and deliver them directly to their apartment.
No, do rich people not even need to try on clothes before buying them?
If it doesn't fit, can I return it within seven days without giving a reason?
Su Pu got into the car in a panic and arrived at the hospital with a heavy heart.
Upon arriving at the top-floor VIP ward, Li Jichuan seemed to know everyone and kept greeting them.
Su Pu followed him into the VIP ward at the end of the corridor, where Li Peirong was lying on the bed in the center of that pristine white space.
It seemed that upon learning that her grandson was bringing his wife, the old man had stopped sleeping and was waiting by his sickbed early in the morning.
"grandfather."
The wheelchair was parked beside Li Peirong's bed, and Li Jichuan respectfully introduced it.
"This is my lover."
Behind him, Su Pu bowed shyly to the old man and took out a self-introduction that he had already typed out on his phone.
"Grandpa, I'm Su Pu, Ji Chuan's lover."
The font size was set very large, and the small hand holding the phone trembled slightly as Su Pu looked at him sincerely and cautiously.
To everyone's surprise, the old man sitting on the bed only hummed and then closed his eyes.
"I'm old, I can't see clearly..."
here we go again.
After falling ill, Li Peirong's temper became increasingly eccentric, stubborn, and picky.
Li Jichuan clenched his fist silently. "I told you, he can't speak."
"Then why find someone who can't speak..." the old man retorted emphatically.
"grandfather……"
Despite having made preparations long ago, Li Peirong has always been negative about all of his choices.
However, Li Jichuan was indignant.
But wasn't marriage something Grandpa had always insisted on?
Now that we've brought the person to him, he's not satisfied anymore?
"What's wrong? I introduced you to so many good families, and you didn't choose any of them... In the end, you chose a mute?"
Li Peirong glanced at the boy who was timidly hiding behind his grandson.
She's quite good-looking, has a nice figure, and looks rather cute.
Li Jichuan retorted, "He has a name, Su Pu."
The old man held his teacup, gave a haughty "hmm," and took a sip.
"Cough, cough—"
Su Pu’s predicament was broken by intermittent, urgent coughing.
Without a second thought, he quickly walked around Li Jichuan's wheelchair, went to the old man's bedside, and patted the old man's back.
With his other hand, he skillfully pulled out a tissue and handed it to the old man.
Because of holding his breath, Li Peirong's cheeks turned red and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Fortunately, the little hand behind him applied just the right amount of pressure, gently easing his discomfort.
He had been taking care of Su Pu's mother when she was seriously ill, so he was quite experienced.
Once the old man's breathing had calmed down, Su Pu took his hand again and gently rubbed his palm and kneaded the acupoint between his thumb and index finger.
This pleased Li Peirong greatly, and for a few moments he even closed his eyes.
Older people are especially concerned about saving face, especially after having just had a falling out with someone and now enjoying their massage.
Li Peirong cleared her throat and instructed her grandson, "Xiao Chuan, go and pour two glasses of water."
Li Jichuan chuckled, looking at him with a mocking expression.
That look seemed to say, "You only remember to give us water now?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him. "Hurry up, do you think I can't order you around?"
The wheelchair moved backward, and Li Jichuan went out.
...
Only Su Pu and Li Peirong remained in the ward.
Upon realizing this, Su Pu broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew in his heart that, given his own qualifications, he was no match for Li Jichuan...
"Your name is Su Pu?"
Li Peirong applied pressure with his palm and squeezed the fingers that Su Pu was massaging.
Su Pulu nodded, his eyes shining.
Which PU?
[The "pu" in dandelion, my mother says, refers to the dandelion's ability to dance in the wind, embracing the vastness of the world.]
Li Peirong squinted at him and nodded.
"It's a pretty good name."
Su Pu put her phone away and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Chuan has always been a very opinionated child. Once he's made up his mind, no matter how much I try to stop him, he won't change it..."
Li Peirong recalled, lowering her eyes and smiling softly.
"Sigh, it's all because of my grandfather. Both of them have terrible tempers, and Xiao Chuan has suffered a lot over the years."
Su Pu had a sudden inspiration and turned on the text-to-speech function.
However, Jichuan respects you very much.
Li Peirong listened intently, a smile appearing on her face.
“I’m his grandfather, so he has to respect me. This child carries too much of a burden…”
"So, I have something I'd like to ask you."
"You, you..."
Li Peirong reached out to touch Su Pu's hand.
"grandfather--"
Li Jichuan's voice rang out from the doorway, and the wheelchair quickly moved to the bedside.
A large hand grabbed Su Pu's wrist and pulled him behind the wheelchair.
"If you're not satisfied, we won't come again. Don't hit my people!"
