After the meeting.
Li Wan didn't know if it was because she was guilty or if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that Secretary Wang's eyes were a little evasive when he looked at her.
But although she was so nervous at the time, she calmed down afterwards.
She will marry Li Zelin one day, and they will know it sooner or later. Even if Secretary Wang saw it, he would probably be the one who was nervous.
Thinking of this, Li Wan began to sympathize with Secretary Wang.
…
"Let's go home for dinner together tonight." Li Zelin called Li Wan into the office and said.
"Am I going too?" Li Wan asked.
Wouldn't that be a bit too blatant?
"You don't want to go?" Li Zelin looked up at her. "I've already told my family that you'll go with me. If you don't want to go, I'll call again."
"No, no, I'll go." Li Wan said hurriedly.
She thought for a moment and said, "But I'd better take a taxi. Otherwise, they might get suspicious if we show up together every time."
Li Zelin frowned slightly, his eyes turned cold, "It's up to you."
…
After get off work, Li Wan did not take Li Zelin's car, but took a taxi to Li's house.
The person who opened the door was Li Rou.
Since no one else was around, she stopped pretending to be friendly and said coldly, "Come in."
Li Wan changed her shoes and walked into the living room. Li Zelin had already arrived and was sitting on the sofa with his back to her.
Jiang Wanjiao and Li Jianwen both stood up and greeted her happily.
Li Zelin sat there motionless.
"Mr. Li, Madam, it's time to eat." Aunt Zhou came out of the kitchen and said.
"Come on, let's go eat." Jiang Wanjiao called.
Li Wan still sat next to Li Zelin.
At the dinner table, Jiang Wanjiao asked Li Wan: "Mom didn't ask you in detail last time, how is that colleague you liked in the company now?"
Li Wan was caught off guard and suddenly started choking and coughing.
Li Zelin took two tissues and handed them over, and moved the water that had not been touched yet over there.
Li Wan covered her mouth with a tissue and coughed a few times, then drank two sips of water and found that everyone at the table was looking at her.
"It's nothing." Li Wan said vaguely.
Li Zelin's eyes were cold, he picked up the water and took a sip.
"That's my water..." Li Wan reminded in a low voice.
Li Zelin: “…”
He took another sip without changing his expression.
Jiang Wanjiao and Li Jianwen both looked at him in surprise.
They knew how much attention Li Zelin paid to this aspect.
Li Zelin put down the cup and said calmly, "Li Wan is now working at Huanxing as a secretary assistant."
Attention was suddenly diverted.
No one paid attention to the cup anymore.
Li Wan turned around and looked at him in surprise.
Li Rou's expression changed slightly and she looked at Li Wan.
Jiang Wanjiao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Wanwan works at Huanxing? When did this happen?"
"From the beginning." Li Zelin said calmly: "I didn't know. She got into Huanxing through her own interview."
The restaurant was silent for a few seconds.
Li Jianwen said: "That's good. You can take care of it at the company."
Li Zelin said calmly: "She doesn't need my care. She does a good job, much better than I thought."
Li Wan felt a little embarrassed and said to Li Jianwen and Jiang Wanjiao, "I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier."
Jiang Wanjiao was still a little shocked, and was speechless: "Then...the boss that Wanwan mentioned last time."
Li Zelin remained calm: "It's me."
Li Wan: “…”
Li Wan: “…”
She thought that Li Zelin didn't listen to what she said last time, but it seemed that he listened very seriously and admitted it so quickly.
Li Jianwen nodded and said, "That's good. I asked you to come back today to discuss with you about Rourou going to work in the company. Now that Wanwan is already in the company, it's even better. We can both be taken care of."
Li Wan looked at Li Rou with some surprise. Li Rou was also looking at her with a very calm expression.
"Do you know who the colleague that Wanwan mentioned is, Zelin?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wanjiao was still concerned about this issue.
"How would big brother know?" Li Wan said with a dry smile, and the hand under the table tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Li Zelin didn't respond to her words and said, "Let's eat first."
Li Jianwen said, "Yes, let's talk after dinner."
Li Wan was so frightened that she couldn't taste the food. Did Li Zelin mean that he was afraid that if he told them, they wouldn't be able to eat?
You're not really going to say that?
She glanced at Li Zelin guiltily, then picked up the water at hand.
"I've drunk it." Li Zelin said lightly.
Li Wan: “…”
He didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the water in his mouth, and suspected that Li Zelin was deliberately seeking revenge.
Jiang Wanjiao couldn't help laughing: "I think you two are much closer now than before."
Li Wan swallowed the water in his mouth and smiled dryly.
After dinner, the family moved back to the living room.
Li Jianwen said, "I will let Rourou go to the company tomorrow. You can decide what position to assign to her and find someone to guide her."
Li Zelin nodded, "Okay." Then he looked at Li Rou, "Do you have a resume?"
Li Rou said, "Yes."
"Well, give me one later." Li Zelin nodded, and then asked, "What are you interested in?"
This was the first time that Li Rou had such a serious conversation with Li Zelin. She was a little nervous and straightened her back unconsciously. After thinking for a while, she answered cautiously, "I don't have any specific direction right now. Do you have any suggestions, brother?"
Li Zelin said calmly: "Then wait until I finish reading your resume and then you can come to the company tomorrow and talk about it."
Li Rou agreed, paused and asked: "Can I ask what position Wanwan is in now?"
Li Zelin glanced at Li Wan and said, "She is now a secretary assistant. She is doing a good job. You can learn from her experience."
Li Wan felt warm in her heart.
Li Rou's expression froze for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Wanjiao immediately extracted the points of interest from this conversation.
"By the way, Zelin, how are you and Secretary Wu doing?"
Li Wan turned and looked at Li Zelin.
Is there something going on between Li Zelin and Secretary Wu that she doesn't know?
Li Zelin glanced at Li Wan before turning to Jiang Wanjiao, saying calmly, "Secretary Wu and I are just work friends. There is no possibility of developing a personal relationship."
Jiang Wanjiao had no time to express regret.
Then I heard Li Zelin say calmly: "Besides, I already have a girlfriend now."
......
......
......
The room was silent for three seconds.
Everyone was shocked.
But the emotions contained in this shock are also different.
"What did you say?" Jiang Wanjiao was the first to ask. She looked at Li Zelin in disbelief: "You...you have a girlfriend?"
Li Rou didn't know why, but she subconsciously glanced at Li Wan.
Li Wan swallowed silently, looking at Li Zelin in shock and guilt, wondering if he would make their relationship public now?
Seeing Li Zelin nod, Jiang Wanjiao was even more incredulous: "Who is it?" She searched desperately for possible candidates in her mind, but Li Zelin never shared his private life with them. After thinking about it, she could only think of one, "Is it your classmate from last time? The one who came to my birthday party? His name was Zhou something?"
"Zhou Mengying." Li Wan added.
Li Zelin glanced at her and said, "No."
He said, “I will tell you when the time is right.”
Li Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Wanjiao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's a good thing that you have a girlfriend. When is the right time to bring her home so that your father and I can meet her. Don't worry, your father and I will just meet her and will never interfere with you!"
At the beginning, she had many ideas about her future daughter-in-law, preferably one with a gentle and generous family background. However, as Li Zelin grew older and older and reached his thirties, she had never heard of him having a girlfriend. Except for being with him at the company, he was either at home. Jiang Wanjiao gradually stopped having any requirements. As long as Li Zelin could find someone he liked, she would be satisfied.
What she was afraid of was that Li Zelin was unwilling to look for her.
"Mom is relieved now." Jiang Wanjiao said.
Li Wan thought, it’s too early for you to feel relieved.
Before leaving, Jiang Wanjiao pulled Li Wan aside for a private talk.
Jiang Wanjiao grabbed Li Wan's hand and said, "Wan Wan, you are still young, don't rush into love, be cautious, and don't get carried away by a boy's sweet talk. Even if you are together, you still have to protect yourself, don't you understand?"
Jiang Wanjiao's highly suggestive words made Li Wan feel a little embarrassed.
"I know mom."
"Mom knows that you are much more mature and stable now, but mom is still worried about you. If you have any problems, remember to tell mom, understand? I see that you and your brother are much closer now. If you have any problems, you can also talk to your brother." Jiang Wanjiao was still worried, and pulled Li Zelin over to personally explain: "Zelin, you have to pay more attention to Wanwan's affairs and keep an eye on her."
Li Zelin stared at Li Wan deeply, making her feel guilty, and then he said calmly, "Yes."
After Li Wan left first, Jiang Wanjiao held Li Zelin again and said, "You and Wan Wan are closer now. Ask her who the colleague she likes is and help her to check it out." She was a little worried. "Wan Wan is simple-minded. We have protected her too well since she was a child. She is too fragile. And now something like this has happened. I am afraid that she looks normal but can't bear it in her heart. In order to find a support for herself..."
She didn't notice that Li Zelin's expression was different: "Anyway, you should take good care of Wanwan."
Li Zelin's complexion returned to normal, but his eyes were dark: "I understand."
Jiang Wanjiao squeezed Li Zelin's arm and said, "In my mother's heart, Wanwan is still my biological daughter. There is no difference from before. You should also treat Wanwan as your biological sister."
Li Zelin hummed coldly.
Li Zelin has always been like this, so Jiang Wanjiao didn't notice anything unusual.
Jiang Wanjiao is talking to Li Zelin.
Li Wan also found an opportunity to talk to Li Rou alone.
"I went back to my home there a while ago," said Li Wan.
"I know." Li Rou looked at Li Wan coldly and sneered, "You are really good at showing courtesy."
Li Wan was not angry. Instead, she smiled good-temperedly, looked at her and asked, "Are you going to keep confronting me like this?"
Li Rou looked back at her coldly.
Li Wan raised the corner of his mouth, "You can't do anything to me, right? At most you can say a few words to me, but I'm thick-skinned. No matter how you scold me, I will still come. I may even come a few more times to get revenge on you."
Li Rou frowned, with some disbelief in her eyes, obviously unable to understand why Li Wan would say that.
How could she say such a thing?
It's unbelievable.
Li Wan continued: "I really hated you."
Li Rou frowned even more tightly, and her expression seemed to be saying, "I hate you even more."
But she didn't say it in the end. She was waiting for Li Wan's "but".
"But I went to your home, looked at your photo album, chatted with your mother, and learned a lot about your life together. I believe that people who grow up in such a family will not be that bad, and the parents of the Li family are such good people." Li Wan smiled and looked at Li Rou with gentle eyes: "You will definitely not do anything worse."
