Li Jinghan finished the meal with Xu Peirong, and then the mother and son drank tea in the living room and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Peirong had to go back.
"Son, mom tells you again, go and get divorced tomorrow with that...what Qi, don't make your dad unhappy because of this!" Xu Peirong warned with a solemn expression.
Li Jinghan put his hands in his trouser pockets, winked at Aunt Hui, and said firmly: "Dad won't do it. Xiaoqi is so well-behaved, dad will like her."
Xu Peirong looked at him suspiciously. Didn't she know her husband well? They had the same views as hers. They both hoped that their son could find a well-matched wife. Now, who can please this master who wants nothing?
Su Jinqi was called out by Aunt Hui and walked to the living room to see the mother and son talking. She clenched her hands tightly, mustered up the courage to walk closer, squeezed out a smile, and asked softly: "Mom, you want to leave.
Yet?"
Xu Peirong kept a straight face and did not look at her. She held her bag on her arm and walked toward the door while saying, "Don't call me mom, I don't recognize you as my daughter-in-law!"
Su Jinqi followed in small steps, lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, cursing in her heart, I never recognized you as my mother-in-law!
It was windy and snowy outside. Seeing Xu Peirong away, Su Jinqi looked at the thick snow accumulated in the yard and couldn't help but think that it would be nice to build a snowman when the snow stopped tomorrow.
Li Jinghan had already gone back with her long legs. She followed him in. Looking at his back going upstairs, she sighed silently. There was a more difficult task waiting for her.
Su Jinqi washed some fruits in the kitchen and took them to the study. She knocked on the door twice and heard a deep "Come in" sound from inside.
"Mr. Li, eat some fruit." Su Jinqi carefully placed the fruit plate on the desk and stood there, a little at a loss.
Li Jinghan was reading a book, without raising his eyes, and said to her indifferently: "Take it away, I don't eat fruit."
Su Jinqi scratched his forehead, pondered for a moment, and bravely said awkwardly: "Mr. Li, it's good to eat fruits to supplement your vitamins."
Even if you hate me, I have to say what I want to say, and I won’t be able to gain favor from either side!
Li Jinghan still lowered his head to read, and said in a cold voice: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and don't be so attentive here."
Su Jinqi put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, and said, "Well... I have something I want to tell you..."
Li Jinghan remained indifferent and was not interested in what she had to say. He silently turned a page of the book.
"Um..." She waited for a short while, but when he saw that he had no intention of asking, she had no choice but to speak tangledly, embarrassed and guilty: "Um, that's it...my eldest aunt called me today.
She wanted... to let us come back in three days, saying that this is customary..." The voice became quieter and quieter, and by the time it reached the end, it was almost inaudible.
Li Jinghan raised his eyes from the book, smiled sarcastically, and said, "Su Jinqi, are we a real couple? Should you adjust your position? Do you think it's appropriate for you to come and talk to me about this?"
Su Jinqi lowered his head, nervously fiddled with his fingers, and said:
"I don't think it's appropriate either. But today my eldest aunt called me, and I really couldn't shirk it, so I asked you about it. In fact, I have this self-knowledge, and I also know where I am."
Li Jinghan then lowered his head again and continued reading, Leng Xun said:
"Since you are self-aware, don't talk to me about such things in the future! Go out with the fruit, and don't hang it in front of my eyes. It's annoying!"
Su Jinqi sighed in her heart. She knew that this would be the result after saying it, but she didn't believe in evil. She had to humiliate herself. Isn't this comfortable? Haha, it's okay. I also told my eldest aunt. It's not that I won't reply.
, but no one will accompany me back.
She took the fruit plate and turned around to leave, but after taking two steps, she turned around again and asked hesitantly:
"Mr. Li, there is one more thing. You and the chairman just said that we are going to have a child. Is that true?"
"go out!"
Su Jinqi trembled with fright, hunched her neck and quickly left the study. Judging from his reaction, it probably wasn't true.
After returning to the room, she got into bed after washing up, and got into the warm and soft bed. Su Jinqi finally allowed herself to relax - Li Jinghan was too scary, and with the chairman, she was really exhausted tonight.
She picked a comedy movie on her tablet, intending to relax. Just as she watched the beginning, her phone's WeChat ringtone rang. She squinted and saw the familiar avatar and the long list of words that followed made her irritated, so she simply turned off her phone.
Tonight, she just wanted to be alone and quiet.
Have a good night's sleep.
When Su Jinqi got up, it was still dark, the wind and snow had stopped, and the snow under the garden lamp shone like silver and frost. She packed herself up and went to the kitchen.
Aunt Hui had just put her breakfast on the island table when she saw her coming in. She said with a busy smile: "I guess you have to come over soon. I have already served it for you. Hurry and eat."
"Thank you Aunt Hui." Su Jinqi felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Since she was a child, her aunt never gave her the same tenderness as a mother.
While eating, she chatted with Aunt Hui and found out that she and Uncle Kui had been working for the Li family all their lives and that the old couple had no children. She couldn't help but admire them.
"Aunt Hui, I've finished eating." Su Jinqi wiped her mouth and said, "I will come back later tonight to pick up my brother from the hospital, so there is no need to leave any food for me."
Aunt Hui asked with concern: "Will my brother be brought back to live with me? What's wrong with him?"
"No, he lives on campus." Su Jinqi said, "There is something wrong with his heart. It seems to be nothing serious now, so he will be discharged from the hospital first."
"Be careful on the road." Aunt Hui touched her head, feeling like this polite girl.
I was busy all morning. At around ten o'clock, someone at the front desk called Su Jinqi and said that someone was looking for her. When I went to the lobby on the first floor, I saw that it was my aunt who was looking for her.
"Qiqi." Li Su'e got up from the sofa and asked seemingly thoughtfully: "Did it disturb your work? My eldest aunt doesn't want to come to you, but your brother and I sent you WeChat messages, but you didn't reply. I'm worried.
Are you not used to living in Li's house? I'll come over and see you, and take a look at your husband by the way."
Su Jinqi frowned, took Li Su'e's arm and started to walk towards the door, saying urgently: "Auntie, everything is fine with me in the Li family. You don't have to worry about me. Go back quickly."
"Hey, I'm already here, why do you have to let me see your husband?" Li Su'e stopped and raised her malicious voice.
Su Jinqi looked around in panic. Fortunately, it was not lunch break and there was no one else in the hall except a few security guards.
She covered Li Su'e's mouth, gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, have you forgotten what I told you? If you let people in the company know that I have a secret marriage with Mr. Li, don't say that Mr. Li can't spare you!
