Because he stayed at home for many days, the things waiting to be dealt with in the company piled up into hills.
Li Xiu is as busy as a spinning top, and it is not even easy to get Vice President Zhuoman.
But he still put Shi Ji first.
When he got home in the evening, the first thing he did was to listen to Housekeeper Liu's report.
"Mr. Cheng lectured conscientiously and responsibly, and the young master also cooperated. This is the young master's recent test paper, which is an improvement over before--"
Li Xiu took the test paper and looked at it and was relieved.
Cheng Pingze is fine.
Li Xiu's parents have died since he was a child. He has tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings and seen too many dark sides of the world.
There are too many bad people, and things involve time, so he has to be careful.
...
Shi Ji had five consecutive days of tutoring class, and Li Xiu finally finished the company's affairs and took a day to go out with Shi Ji.
They were ready to leave, but they received a call from Zhuoman.
Li Xiu hung up the phone and looked at Shi Ji with an apology: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ji. I have something to do at the company, so I need to go on a business trip.
Seeing the teenager pressing his lips together and losing his enthusiasm with the naked eye, Li Xiu suddenly felt heartache and quickly coaxed him softly.
"Don't worry, I'll only go for a day. If everything goes well, I will be back in the afternoon. Is there anything you want to go? Can Uncle Liu take you there first?"
Shi Ji shook his head.
"Why don't I have class today? You can take me out tomorrow."
Li Xiu smiled and indulgently touched Shi Ji's head.
"My Xiao Ji has really grown up and knows that he has to study hard. Okay, you have class today. I'll take you out when I come back."
As a result, things over there did not go well.
When it was finished, it was past seven o'clock in the evening.
When Li Xiu and Zhuo Man hurried to the airport, the torrential rain suddenly came, and it got heavier and heavier.
Not long after, they received a notice that the flight could not take off.
"Brother Xiu, why don't we stay here for one night and go back tomorrow?" Zhuoman looked at Li Xiu's face, suppressed the joy in her heart, and proposed carefully.
Li Xiu shook his head.
"No way. I promised Xiao Ji to go back today. Moreover, Xiao Ji has never been alone at home at night. He can't do it without me. Manman, you stay here for one night first, and I'll take a taxi back."
Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji... Why is it always Xiao Ji?
Li Xiu used to spend the night outside when he was on a business trip.
At that time, she just felt that Li Xiu attached great importance to work, and liked him more and more.
But now that she has become Li Xiu's girlfriend, things have become different.
Moreover, after witnessing Li Xiu's actions towards Shiji that day, her sense of unease grew stronger...
A haze flashed across Zhuoman's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed Li Xiu, who had already stood up.
"Brother Xiu, I know you love Xiaoji. However, Xiaoji is 17 years old this year and is about to grow up. He is not a child. You can take care of him for seven years, but can you take care of him for a lifetime?
Li Xiu said without hesitation, "I can."
When his words fell, Zhuoman felt as if her heart was kneaded by something, and couldn't breathe.
She bit her lips white but persisted.
"But, Brother Xiu, you're not helping him, you're hurting him! There are more possibilities in Xiao Ji's life, do you have the heart that you are the only one in his life? Brother Xiu, just let go once. Come on! This is good for the child."
Call her selfish or cruel.
She just didn't want to live with her boyfriend's first love's brother in the future, and she didn't want her and Li Xiu's future life to be burdened by Shi Ji.
