Li Jia watched the Lexus disappear into the distance, lost in thought. She turned back to the rest area, picked up her watch that she had worn for many years, looked at the triangular logo on the back of the dial, and then put the watch back on her wrist. "Are old Bolon's things really that effective? I should have scrambled more from Lina."
Upon arriving on the second floor, they saw that Meng Yao had put up her street dance tutorial again, and Li Jia was sitting there enjoying it. These dances were things that only children could do, but Li Jia was clearly not a child.
"Still looking at this?" Li Jia walked over and sat down next to Meng Yao, turning to look at Meng Yao's delicate face.
"Actually, I was thinking, can you dance? If not, we should hire a teacher for Xiaoyu. As a man, you should keep your word, otherwise I'll need to re-evaluate you." Meng Yao carefully looked at the street dancers on TV and compared them to Li Jia's physique. She concluded that Li Jia could probably dance ballroom dances like waltzes, but given her physical condition, she definitely couldn't perform the difficult moves in highly technical street dance.
"Sister Meng... Yao, do you really have so little faith in me?" Li Jia was genuinely grateful for Meng Yao's actions, but Meng Yao's repeated disbelief left him feeling somewhat helpless.
"To be honest, yes." Meng Yao stared at Li Jia and looked her over carefully again before finally nodding affirmatively. Meng Yao's words gave Li Jia an urge to dance for her right away, but it really wasn't appropriate to dance street dance in a suit during the day. So, Li Jia suddenly had an idea and leaned closer to Meng Yao, whispering, "How about we have a family dance party tonight?"
"A family dance party?" Meng Yao's face lit up with excitement, but then she became skeptical of Li Jia. "Are you sure you can dance?"
Li Jia, having been repeatedly thwarted by Meng Yao, looked earnestly into Meng Yao's eyes and said, "I really can dance!" She then stood up and demonstrated a few dance steps, trying to reassure Meng Yao. However, Meng Yao burst out laughing when she saw Li Jia's dance steps. "Alright, alright, I believe you. But you must keep your promises, otherwise, you won't be able to gain people's trust in the future. You understand what I mean."
"Got it! I can teach Xiaoyu street dance, don't worry!" Li Jia suddenly found herself becoming more talkative in front of Meng Yao. The usually gentle and cool Li Jia had become a bit like a salesperson, constantly saying how good, how great, and how excellent her products were.
Meng Yao was genuinely happy to see Li Jia's expression; it was quite amusing to see this seemingly cool man suffer a little setback.
"Okay, I'm going out for a bit. We'll have dinner together tonight and then have our first family dance party." Li Jia said as she walked downstairs, planning what she needed to prepare for the dance party that evening.
Suddenly, Li Jia thought of Li Xiaoqing and the others, as well as Jiang Ling'er, and of course, the beautiful teacher Hai Mingyue. Should she invite them all over that night?
The living room on the second floor is nearly 40 square meters in size. There are eight people in total, including Li Xiaoqing and her two siblings, Jiang Ling'er, Hai Mingyue, Zhou Xiaoyu, Meng Yao, and Li Jia herself. It should be just enough. Thinking of this, Li Jia picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Ling'er's number.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered. "I told you I wouldn't help you for the time being, why are you calling again?" Jiang Ling asked irritably as she answered the phone.
Hearing Jiang Ling's voice, Li Jia suddenly realized that Officer Jiang seemed to be distancing herself from her at this moment. She had been so excited that she had forgotten about it. "Oh, I'm not asking for your help, I'm inviting you to a dance party. It's being held at home, just a few people. How about it?" Li Jia said this with a little uncertainty, and sure enough, Jiang Ling on the phone simply said two words: "No way!"
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Li Jia felt helpless. Jiang Ling was more than just holding a grudge. Li Jia forgot one thing: women are all very vengeful, and Jiang Ling was a prime example!
After thinking it over, Li Jia decided to give up. If they didn't want to come, they didn't have to. She would just go and invite Li Xiaoqing and the others instead.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of Building 19 in Tianxiang Garden. After getting out of the car and closing the door, Li Jia went up to the sixth floor and knocked on Li Xiaoqing's door.
Li Xiaoqing quickly opened the door, and after seeing Li Jia, she smiled shyly, "It's Brother Li, come in quickly."
Not long after Li Jia went in, Li Xiaotong's bedroom door opened, and Hai Mingyue, dressed in a white dress, came out. Seeing Li Jia sitting in the room chatting with Li Xiaoqing, she walked up to Li Jia and said, "You should take better care of Li Xiaotong in the future. She lost her older brother many years ago. Although you are her sworn brother, I still hope that you can take on this responsibility and cooperate with me to help Li Xiaotong get back on track with her studies as soon as possible."
Listening to Hai Mingyue's heavenly voice, Li Jia felt an indescribable feeling. "Teacher Hai is right. I will do my best to cooperate with the teacher's work. Of course, I really hope that Xiaotong can get into a good university." Li Jia's words came from the bottom of his heart. He really hoped that Li Xiaotong could get into a good university, and then study, work, and become independent. These were the things that Li Jia wanted to see most.
"Okay, I hope you can keep your word. Let's go out for dinner first. Teacher Hai is treating you to something nice today. After dinner, rest for a bit and then continue tutoring Xiaotong." After Hai Mingyue finished speaking, she took Li Xiaotong's hand and beckoned to Li Xiaoqing and Li Yan. Hai Mingyue's impression of Li Jia didn't seem to be very good, probably because of the time when Li Jia asked Li Xiaotong to hand out flyers for her.
