Uncle Li's words surprised Chen Tian, especially the sentence that everything will be better, and made him subconsciously think of the task eight years ago.

"It seems that Old Man Su is very far-sighted, and now it is indeed getting better and better. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Li nodded, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Chen Tian did not give up this opportunity, but then asked, "Did Uncle Li go to find that woman later?" or did she come back to see Xiaobao?"

"I've looked for it countless times, but I haven't found it. ”

Uncle Li opened his mouth to answer, but his expression showed unwillingness, "I don't know if she is still alive now, but if there is one day when we meet again in the future, I hope she can accept Xiaobao and come to see him from time to time." ”

Chen Tian was surprised by this answer, but then he thought of the reason, so he nodded and answered.

It seems that Uncle Li still has some feelings for her. ”

"People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. ”

Uncle Li opened his mouth to answer, not only positively affirming this speculation, but also saying his true thoughts: "But even so, this can only be regarded as a mistake." I don't expect anything she can do to me, I just hope that she can give Xiaobao a complete home. ”

"After all, Xiaobao is innocent, and I have treated him a lot over the years!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian was not surprised.

Because from Uncle Li's expression just now, he could see that Uncle Li still had feelings for the woman who had made him wrong, and judging from Uncle Li's current state, it was likely that this woman was no longer alive, so he pinned his hopes on this thing that would never be realized.

Although he couldn't comment on the good or bad of this matter, through Xiaobao's matter, Chen Tian saw the other party's true strength clearly.

Especially for an inconspicuous game, the other party can wait patiently for eight or nine years, not to mention anything else, just rushing this energy, it is enough for him to understand the strength of the other party.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian was relieved, and at the same time, he couldn't help but persuade Uncle Li: "Maybe you have treated Xiaobao a lot, but I believe that it will get better and better in the future, especially after this adventure, Xiaobao can be with you in the future." ”

"I don't plan to trouble the Su family anymore in the future. ”

Uncle Li shook his head and replied, and then explained: "I'm old, and with Xiaobao's appearance, I'm no longer qualified to stay in the Su family, so I plan to leave with Xiaobao later." ”

"But don't worry, before leaving, I will definitely pass on these years of experience to the next one without reservation, I hope you understand!"

Chen Tian was surprised by this answer, but he thought about it but felt reasonable.

Although he didn't know if Uncle Li had already retreated, he thought that this matter was not something he could decide, so he planned to be euphemistic.

However, unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"I don't want Uncle Li to leave!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian and Uncle Li looked at each other at the same time.

As a result, Su Ningxue didn't know when she was standing behind, and was looking at them with a serious face.

"Why are you here?"

"Xiaobao fell asleep. ”

Su Ningxue opened her mouth to answer, and then explained: "Uncle Li, I understand that you don't actually want to leave the Su family, but because of this incident, you feel sorry for the Su family and me." ”

"Although I did worry about you before, after this incident, I already understand why Grandpa trusted you so much in the first place, so if I can, I hope Uncle Li can continue to stay and help me maintain the family business. ”

Hearing this, Chen Tian was surprised, but Uncle Li shook his head.

"Miss, I'm already old, even if I help you guard the old mansion, I won't be able to guard it for long, so why don't you let me leave in advance, so that I can find a home for myself!"

"Uncle Li, if you just propose to leave alone, I will definitely respect your opinion. ”

Su Ningxue spoke again, and continued to persuade: "But now you are no longer alone, especially when Xiaobao needs to grow up, if you take him to seclusion and leave, not only will it not make up for Xiaobao, but it will be another kind of harm." ”

Hearing this, Chen Tian glanced at Su Ningxue appreciatively, and then followed to comfort Uncle Li.

"Ning Xue is right, Xiaobao is now at the age when he needs to go to school, if you leave with him now, it will inevitably bring him more harm in the future. And it can be seen from Xiaobao's state just now that he actually wants to get in touch with the outside world, so I hope Uncle Li can seriously consider it, even if it's just for Xiaobao!"

In the face of this successive persuasions, Uncle Li finally showed hesitation.

"You're right, I did think about Xiaobao, but I'm really a little powerless to manage the old mansion now. Coupled with the exhaustion of all these years, I really want to rest and rest, so I appreciate your kindness. ”

Uncle Li's answer was expected by Chen Tian, but Su Ningxue did not give up, and then persuaded again.

"Uncle Li, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that you do want to leave. I can respect your opinion, but I also hope that you can give me a chance, or give Xiaobao a chance!"

Uncle Li showed surprise and asked, "What chance?"

Su Ningxue did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "I have already heard Uncle Li's words at the door just now, even if Uncle Li wants to leave, he will cultivate the next successor by hand, right?"

"Yes, I did!"

Uncle Li opened his mouth to answer, but Su Ningxue nodded, and continued: "Since this is the case, then you might as well take one year as the deadline, in this year, Uncle Li will first take Xiaobao to live in the old house, and during this period, Xiaobao can gradually contact the outside world." ”

"A year later, if Uncle Li still feels that it is inappropriate, I will definitely stop saying a word of persuasion at that time. On the contrary, even if Uncle Li feels that he can stay, I will not let you work alone anymore, but let the next successor assist you in managing the old mansion!"

"Of course, if Uncle Li thinks this period is too long, we can discuss it again, and in addition, I will also give Xiaobao a sum of money on the basis of my grandfather's promise to you, so that it can be used for his future growth and education!"

Su Ningxue's words were expected by Chen Tian, and it was indeed a good way to compromise.

Uncle Li obviously understood what Su Ningxue meant, and after hesitating, he nodded and agreed.

"I can accept a one-year term, but I don't want the money. ”

Su Ningxue was surprised by Uncle Li's reaction, and immediately asked, "Why did you refuse?

"Xiaobao really needs money, but what the Su family has given me over the years is enough. ”

Uncle Li replied again and explained seriously: "And before, when your grandfather was still alive, I told him more than once that if I left in the future, I would not take a penny from the Su family." ”

"Not for anything else, just because of your grandfather's kindness at the beginning, so I can have everything now, I am already very content. ”
