Winner Takes All - Chapter 60
After Li Shuo returned home, he called Wen Xiaohui and said that the assistant would send him a box of fruit that he brought back from Sanya.
Wen Xiaohui said a few words, and asked carefully, “Brother Li, are you in a bad mood? Are you okay?”
“It’s okay, why do you ask that?” Li Shuo said pretentiously.
“Oh no, just listening to your voice has no spirit, is it tiring?”
“Well, a bit, eat the fruits while they’re fresh.”
“Okay, thank you. Oh right …” Wen Xiaohui continued, “Well, Shao Qun was discharged from the hospital.”
Li Shuo said “Oh” blandly, he didn’t care about Shao Qun, it is better to never hear this name related to Zhao Jinxin.
“He and Cheng Xiu are moving back to Beijing, it’s recently.”
“Okay, it will be easier for us to meet in the future.”
“Yeah, yeah, with our support, Shao Qun will definitely not dare to bully Cheng Xiu in the future.”
Li Shuo smiled, but did not continue.
“Bye Li, I have recently met a few friends, including models, actors, and kaikai. The conditions are very good. When will you be free to see you when you come out?”
Li Shuo chuckled: “Xiaohui, thank you, but I haven’t adjusted yet, I want to relax alone for a while.” They said that the best way to forget a relationship is to start a new relationship. , Such as Xiao Qi, it turned out to be extremely embarrassing. He didn’t plan to date anyone until he felt ready.
“I know, I know, single is better, really. I thought that when I was a prodigal son who lingered in flowers, like a free wolf running on the grassland, now I have to report in advance to drink wine. Ugh.”
Li Shuo was teased by Wen Xiaohui’s description of “not in line with the real thing”: “So, it’s hard to talk about a love relationship for you.”
“No, the family looks too strict.” Wen Xiaohui laughed. “So, really, I’m single.”
“Well, being single.” Li Shuo also sighed.
Most of the bad things in this world are because you use your heart first.
The next day, Li Shuo received a short message from Zhao Rongtian with only a few words: OK, I will return to China tomorrow.
Li Shuo decided to run back to Sanya today, otherwise it would not be justified if he was not in Beijing.
As soon as he booked a ticket here, his dad called and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Mr. Li said happily: “I heard that your uncle Zhao and your aunt are going back to China to inspect the branch office. By the way, look at your son. My mother and I are planning to come back with them. We have not returned to China for more than two years.”
Li Shuo could only agree: “Yeah, I just happened to take you to Sanya to see.”
“Okay, find old Cui to drink and drink, haha.”
Mrs. Li snatched the phone: “Son, is it cold in China, what clothes should I bring?”
Li Shuo had to patiently analyze what she was wearing in the current season, and sent a text message to her assistant to cancel her flight to Sanya.
He thought that if he had to see Zhao Jinxin then, he would make another excuse.
In the morning after the day after tomorrow, the four elders landed at the Capital Airport. Li Shuo was expected to be in the state of Zhao Jinxin. The phone could not be reached. He should not come to pick up the plane, so he drove to the airport.
At the airport, Zhao Jinxin did not come, but Shao Wen came, and the two met with a little embarrassment. They just said hello.
Li Shuo was intimate with his parents and went to greet with Zhao Rongtian and his wife.
Zhao Rongtian took Li Shuo’s hand and patted him on the shoulder: “Li Shuo, I asked you to help me last time. It’s kind of you, thank you.”
Li Shuo sincerely said, “Don’t say that, you can help, but it really didn’t help me, I’m sorry.”
“Hey, I don’t blame you. I will come back this time to see what this kid is doing.” Zhao Rongtian frowned, not knowing whether he was talking to Li Shuo or talking to himself, “He grew up It’s really not like that since then, it’s weird … ”
Li Shuo pretended not to hear and took the **** luggage: “Let’s go, let’s go home.”
The two families separated at the airport. Li Shuo, carrying his parents, went straight to home.
On the way, Mr. Li asked about Zhao Jinxin: “Hey, what’s going on with Jin Xin? It’s been a long time since I went to work. Old Zhao covertly said nothing, wouldn’t it be a problem?”
“It’s okay. I went to see it. People are good. Maybe they’re young. Lazy.”
“Jin Xin really enjoys playing.” Mrs. Li said, “You forgot that when he was a kid, you don’t know how much it bothered his parents.”
“Isn’t that a kid? What anti-discrimination march did our son organize as a kid, and we went to Africa to teach?”
Li Shuo couldn’t help crying: “Dad, I’m not playing, and there’s nothing wrong with it. This is not the same thing at all.” For him now, public welfare is a social obligation, not a way of self-realization. He Every year there is a fixed percentage of public welfare expenditures in the financial budget, but he will never do anything with enthusiasm and fanfare as he did when he was young. Of course, he is still proud of his excitement when he was young. How can this be compared with Zhao Jinxin.
He didn’t want to compare anything with Zhao Jinxin.
Mr. Li laughed: “That’s right, or Xiao Shuo let us worry.”
After returning home, Li Shuo settled his parents, and let his father talk to President Cui. President Cui went abroad to discuss business again. The project in Sanya was temporarily followed by Cui’s staff and progressed. Very well.
Li Shuo plans to make an appointment with Zhou Jin for a meal tomorrow and give his dad a detailed account of the project. Unexpectedly, Zhao Rongtian made an appointment for dinner the next day.
Li Shuo agreed on the surface. By the afternoon of the next day, he started pretending to have a headache and avoided the two parties.
After returning from dinner, Mr. Li asked Li Shuo curiously: “Do you really know what happened to Jin Xin? Didn’t you hear any noise? He has lost a lot of weight and is not very energetic.”
Li Shuo, listening to the name, seemed to have become a real headache. He said, “I really don’t know.”
“Oh. By the way, you will take a trip to Ennan tomorrow morning to take a look.”
Facing his job, Li Shuo couldn’t find any excuses to shirk, so he had to agree.
Mrs. Li gave a strange look at Li Shuo and said nothing.
Before going to bed, Mr. Li went to take a bath, and Mrs. Li took the opportunity to enter Li Shuo’s room, and she stopped talking.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Li Shuo patted the bedside. “Are you looking for me? Come and sit.”
Mrs. Li tightened her shawl and sat next to the bed, watching Li Shuo solemnly: “Son …”
Li Shuo looked at her with a frown, and he was puzzled by the heavy mentality. He was fine before going to dinner, wasn’t it … what did Zhao Jinxin say? !! He was a little nervous, and gently held her hand: “Mom, what’s the matter? What’s so secretive between us?”
“Are you … hey …” Mrs. Li said awkwardly, “Did you break up with Jin Xin?”
Li Shuo was ready in the heart. Although surprised, he didn’t show it. He smiled calmly, “Mom, what do you say.” He didn’t know if his mother really knew it or guessed it.
“Don’t conceal me, once A Guang talked in front of me and was asked by me.” Mrs. Li sighed, “I can understand why you are hiding us, I dare not let your father know that you Dad knows, he must be furious. ”
Li Shuo appeased: “Mom, we are all adults, free love, even if Dad knows, there is nothing to be angry about, let’s say …” He lowered his eyes, “Now it’s divided, there is no need to mention it Now. ”
“Oh!” Mrs. Li exhaled heavily, as if she was a little bit angry, but she didn’t know how to vent, and finally raised her fist and gave Li Shuo a gentle blow. “You are really … you dare to say that your father won’t be angry! ”
Li Shuo smiled bitterly: “Mom, this is our business. Don’t let my dad know. What are you angry about?”
“What am I mad at? I’m mad at you for being a charismatic person! Jin Xin is not an ordinary person. He is your father’s friend and boss’s son. You ca n’t just throw it away.”
“…” Li Shuo was speechless.
Mrs. Li shook her head and sighed: “Xiaoshuo, don’t take your feelings so casually, just casually, just divide them casually, how can this be done. Jin Xin is younger than you, and the possibility may need to run in It ’s only a few months, you see how sad he feels like that. I ’m following guilt. ”
Li Shuo rubbed his eyebrows and really felt a headache. He whispered, “Mom, things are not what you think. We do … well, we can’t come together, we broke up peacefully.”
“Peaceful breakup?” Mrs. Li raised the volume. “Jin Xin has been knocking on me side by side to inquire about you today, and people have also talked a lot. Do you dare to say that he has nothing to do with you?
Li Shuo opened his mouth, but couldn’t refute it.
From the perspective of others, he is indeed more like a “wrong party”, and he can’t make the ins and outs of the two people get along with each other.
Mrs. Li said uncomfortably: “Xiaoshuo, my mother really wants you to find someone to settle down quickly. At the time, Aguang said that when you were with Jin Xin, I was so happy that he happened to be a sheep. The relationship between our two Well, it ’s almost a kiss and a kiss … I ca n’t force things, but sometimes I ca n’t just give up. Mom still hopes that you think about it, and resolve it if there are conflicts. It ’s not easy to be together. it is good?”
Li Shuo was extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to tell his mother how much grievance and pain he had accumulated in this relationship, and he thought he had done nothing wrong, but looking at his mother’s worried, caring and eager eyes, he could not speak. He could only avoid it and said lightly, “Mom, you believe me, we broke up, it was never my reason.”
Mrs. Li said earnestly: “I know, he must have been immature and made a mistake, but you have to give someone a chance to correct, right? Mother is not forcing you to do anything, I just give you reason, even if that person is not Zhao Jinxin, I will say the same. ”
No matter how many details, Li Shuo, because of his face, ca n’t say it, and it ’s useless to say more. Two couples with a large age gap break up. The older ones seem chic, the young ones seem decadent. Anyone will have it. Similar judgment to his mother. He nodded, and perfunctoryly said, “Mom, I know, I know.”
Mrs. Li patted him on the shoulder, and looked at him carefully, smiling slightly, with a little sadness in her eyes.
Li Shuo was a little embarrassed by her: “Mom, go to bed early.”
Mrs. Li sighed softly: “Sometimes I think, I blame me for giving you too much, and your love will be so bumpy.”
Li Shuo laughed and said, “Should I thank you or blame you?”
“Thank me, it doesn’t matter that I don’t care. Mom just needs to be happy.”
Li Shuo pressed her forehead gently with her forehead: “I will, go to sleep.”
After Mrs. Li left, Li Shuo fell on the bed, thinking about the conversation between their mother and son. He was really helpless and uncomfortable. His mother was right. According to her mother’s thinking, if his father knew that he “dumped” Zhao Jinxin, he would be furious. Fortunately, they have been divided. Fortunately … Zhao Jinxin has gone without looking back.
However, thinking of seeing Zhao Jinxin tomorrow, I was doomed to sleepless again tonight. 2k novel reading network
