Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager - Chapter 661
Li Wei still tried to contact Tang Shiyun, but the two finally spoke.
During the phone call, Li Wei expressed concern: “Shiyun, where is the problem between you and my second brother?”
Tang Shiyun lazily answered Li Wei’s words: “The problem is with me, it has nothing to do with your second brother. Li Wei, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. There is nothing to complain about at this point. I hope he can regain happiness in the future. ,that’s it.”
A hang-up sound came from the phone.
Sure enough, there was no way to recover it. However, the facts still made Li Wei unacceptable. The pair was still pretending to be each other in their hearts. They could get married immediately, but all the good things came to an abrupt end at this moment.
Qi Jingyi’s flight the next morning was the airport where Li Wei took her to the airport. After checking in, the two said goodbye in the waiting hall.
“Sister Qi, take good care. I will visit you again when I have a chance to go to Beihai in the future.”
Qi Jingyi nodded and smiled and said, “Well, you have to take care too.” She went so far and failed to complete what the elder sister had told her. Qi Jingyi felt that she could no longer face her.
“Wei Wei, Jianbo will bother you to take care of it. Although I really want him to go back to the United States, it is his own choice. I only hope that he will not regret it in the future. He was raised by your family and it is easy. I can see that he is more willing to get along with you, and to be more harmonious with you and his sister-in-law. I don’t want to say anything more about this, so please take care of yourself.”
Li Wei nodded and said, “I will try to comfort him again.”
“That’s it, goodbye!”
Qi Jingyi dragged a simple suitcase and waved goodbye to Li Wei, and then went to the security checkpoint. Li Wei kept standing there watching her.
If Qi Jingyi didn’t show up and didn’t bring any real things about Qi Jing, would the situation be different. Perhaps Shiyun and her second brother will not move towards separation.
Li Wei kept thinking about it on the way back.
Li Wei was busy taking care of Xiao Fujia while working out, trying to restore himself to his previous state as soon as possible. She wants to adjust herself as soon as possible and get ready to go to work.
One day at the end of March, Li Jianbo came over. When he came, Liu Chunzhi and Sister Ning took Fu Jia out to play, leaving only Li Wei at home.
“You didn’t come by coincidence, mom and they just left.” Li Wei smiled helplessly.
“It’s okay, I’m here to find you.”
Li Wei glanced at him. He hadn’t seen him for a week since the last time. It seemed that his spirit was not very good and his face was haggard.
“The food in the cafeteria is not delicious, I’ll cook your favorite dishes, just to wait a bit.”
Li Jianbo held Li Wei’s shoulder and said to her: “I want to drink.”
“Wine, there seems to be a bottle at home, I will get it.”
“Wei, go out and sit with me.”
Li Wei finally agreed to his request and said: “Then wait for me first, I will change my clothes, otherwise I always feel that the smell of milk is very annoying.”
Li Wei went into his room, combed his hair, and changed his clothes when he went out. When I came out, I saw Li Jianbo sitting on the sofa in a daze. He’s been very unhappy these days, he is so busy at work, maybe he doesn’t even have a speaker.
“Second brother, I’m fine.”
The siblings went out together, and then they went to a small bar not too far from home. At this time, the business in the bar seemed a little deserted.
Li Wei now dare not drink alcohol during breastfeeding, but just sit with Li Jianbo, with a glass of juice in front of her.
Li Jianbo pours and drinks by himself, cup after cup, but rarely speaks. When he drank the fourth glass of wine, Li Wei stopped: “Second brother, wine is not drunk like this.”
“I’m not happy, I just want to get drunk.”
Seeing him so distressed, Li Wei took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Tang Shiyun. Li Jianbo realized her intention and snatched her mobile phone away. By the way, she turned off the phone and said, “I’ll be with you. Enough, I don’t need anyone else.” Another glass of wine went down while talking.
“Second brother, just say it if you feel uncomfortable. I will be your audience.”
“There is nothing to say, get drunk, go back to sleep, the world will start again, it is impossible to stop.” Jianbo at this time still understood.
He drank a lot of wine, and watched Li Wei upset after a cup. Later, when she saw that the situation was not good, she couldn’t let her second brother drink it like this anymore. If he drinks like this, something will happen. She took the initiative to help check out, and then dragged the already drunk Li Jianbo out of the bar. It took a lot of effort to bring him back home.
When he got home, Li Jianbo lay down on the sofa and fell asleep. Li Wei was worried about something wrong, so he rushed to soak a glass of honey water, and cooked the sour and hot sober soup, served him to drink, and Jianbo vomited again. Once, Li Wei helped clean up, and finally sent him into the guest room to let him sleep well.
When Liu Chunzhi and the others came back, Li Jianbo was still sleeping. Li Wei told his mother about the situation. Liu Chunzhi frowned and said, “What is this?”
When Li Jianbo woke up, it was already late at night. He didn’t know how many hours he slept. He just felt that his stomach was empty and hungry and wanted to find something to fill his stomach. He walked to the living room, but saw that the TV was still in the living room, but the lights were not turned on. Li Wei was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV.
“Are you still up?”
“Well, I have been waiting for a movie for a long time. Are you hungry?”
“Is there anything to eat?”
Li Wei took the food to the microwave and beat it, but Li Jianbo did not eat a few bites. Later, the brothers and sisters sat in the same place and watched a movie, and Li Jianbo realized that Li Wei was watching an early cameo on Zhao Qian’s film with a supernatural theme.
“It seems you have watched this play before.”
“Have you seen it, why am I not impressed?”
“I remember very clearly. That time you went to the city to participate in the calligraphy and painting competition, and it happened to be placed in our teacher’s house. Aren’t you scared at the time?”
Li smiled and said, “It’s okay too.”
“At that time, you just wanted to take a look at him, right?”
Li Wei did not deny it. She was still attracted by the plot on the screen, while Li Jianbo quietly accompanied her. There is still no light in the living room, only the not-so-bright light on the TV appears very dim.
“I once told you that whether to go left or right is just a seemingly simple multiple-choice question. But it is too difficult to make a choice. That time I lived a very useless and incompetent life, but it was a poor life. Thinking that life can come back again, this is God’s favor. I desperately grasped God’s favor, and tried my best to change myself and our home. The last time I was embarrassed was probably in the third year of high school…”
Li Wei looked at his second brother, is he finally going to open his heart to himself?
