When Li Jingwei returned to the second floor, he saw that the crowd waiting in the hall was a little sparser than before.

It turned out that the security guards of the museum had not yet received feedback from the police station, and they did not dare to let everyone out rashly.

Keiko, who had been looking towards the side of the stairs, saw Li Jingwei coming up, ran over happily, took his arm and said, "Why have you been going for so long?" I'm a little worried, and I'm about to ask Ori to send someone to find you." ”

She was indeed a little worried, after all, the gunshots from the road before still made her feel less secure.

Previously, she also studied and lived in the United States for more than two years, and she always felt that the United States was a very safe country. However, she did not expect that today, in broad daylight, there was a shootout in the famous business district of Manhattan, New York, which completely subverted her understanding of the United States.

"There were a lot of people in the bathroom on the second floor, so I went to the first floor. Li Jingwei replied.

Naturally, he wouldn't tell Keiko what was going on in the bathroom. What happened just now made him feel a little incredible, and it was a fantasy to say it.

In order to find the whereabouts of the crystal skull, Li Jingwei originally hoped that the Xuanyuan Dragon League could participate in the competition for the treasure map. However, Tang Jifeng clearly told him two days ago that the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance would not directly participate in the competition for the treasure map this time.

In this case, he also dismissed the idea of snatching the treasure map while S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Klober family were trading. It's just that he didn't expect that by mistake, the treasure map still came into his hands.

Obviously, you can't tell Keiko what happened to these things. What's more, Hengwen repeatedly told him that he should never tell anyone, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Jingwei diverted the topic and quipped in Keiko's ear: "It's only been a while since we were separated, and Keiko misses me?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Jingwei regretted it. He was just thinking about how to divert Keiko's attention, but he didn't expect to blurt out such ambiguous words.

Three years ago, Li Jingwei had already decided to end the relationship with Keiko that had not officially begun. Later, with Keiko's return to China, the two basically cut off contact. In Li Jingwei's view, this can be regarded as severing relations with Keiko.

Now, if I talk like this again, I'm afraid it will cause Keiko's misunderstanding. Moreover, looking at Keiko's previous performance, it is obvious that she has never planned to break up with herself, and she may even think that the two broke up three years ago, but just broke off contact.

As the saying goes, the words spoken, the water spilled. Li Jingwei didn't know how to explain it for a while, so that he could take back what he said just now, and at the same time not hurt Keiko.

It seems that Zhuge Qingyun is really right, Li Jingwei is still a peach blossom this year.

When Keiko heard this, she was suddenly a little shy, her little face showed a flush, and she replied stiffly: "Who misses you, I just want you to come over quickly to protect me." ”

"Oh, okay, it's good if you don't!" Li Jingwei looked at Keiko and said with a smile.

Li Jingwei said that the original meaning of this sentence was that Keiko did not misunderstand the relationship between the two, so it was good. However, when this sentence fell on Keiko's ears, it became a bit flirtatious.

Keiko thought that Li Jingwei had seen through his thoughts, so he stretched out his hand and pretended to cover his mouth, while saying, "Don't laugh, don't laugh." ”

Orichi and the others not far away couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene. This little princess of the Tokugawa family, who has always been cold, only in front of Li Jingwei, completely put down all the shelves, and looked like a little woman.

Keiko's love affair, although Orichi helped hide it, but in fact, her parents already knew. Although it is far away, Keiko's every move is actually under the control of her parents.

In addition to Orichi and others, who are in charge of protection, the Tokugawa family's branches in the United States have a briefing on Keiko's situation every half a month, which is sent to Keiko's parents.

Three years ago, after learning that Keiko's love object was Li Jingwei, Keiko's parents received two briefings every half a month, in addition to Keiko, there was one more about Li Jingwei.

As a veteran aristocrat in Japan, although there are many precedents in history for members of the Tokugawa family to marry ordinary people, there has never been a marriage with a foreigner. Therefore, Keiko's parents have not expressed their position on Keiko and Li Jingwei's relationship, pretending not to know, and not asking.

Being able to do this is the result of Keiko's mother's efforts. Actually, Keiko's father was against it at first.

Keiko's mother, Masako, is the youngest daughter of a Japanese chaebol and has been pampered since she was a child. After marrying into the Tokugawa family, he was bound by all kinds of red tape, and almost suffered from depression at one point. So, after learning that Keiko was in love, she asked a question, is Keiko happy?

After receiving Keiko's very happy reply, this woman, who has always deliberately behaved virtuous and dignified, instantly exploded in the small universe, showing her dissatisfaction and resentment over the years, and had a big fight with her husband.

Keiko's father also felt that he owed his wife a lot, and he also doted on his wife and daughter very much, so he never mentioned the matter of breaking up Keiko. Even when his father, who was the patriarch, asked about Keiko's situation, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, or talked about him left and right.

Her husband's attitude made Masako very satisfied. After such a fuss, the relationship between husband and wife has become more intimate.

For the future, as Keiko's mother, Masako doesn't know what will happen. After all, in the eyes of the Tokugawa family, Li Jingwei was a foreigner, not a citizen of the Yamato nation. In this case, as an old aristocrat, it is necessary to consider the inheritance of the family. If Li Jingwei was born in a civilian family in Japan, then things would have become easier in comparison.

However, as far as Masako is concerned, as a mother who dotes on her daughter, she intends to take it one step at a time, at least Keiko is having a happy and happy life at the moment. Therefore, she and her husband pretended not to know about Keiko's love. As long as Keiko doesn't say it, don't ask.

In fact, Keiko's heart has also experienced painful struggles, on the one hand, she wants to tell her parents, but on the other hand, she is worried that they will object. Therefore, when she calmed down and thought about it, she was also anxious.

Three years ago, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when it is in danger, she is reluctant to face the problem most of the time and chooses to run away. However, Li Jingwei's deliberate estrangement later made her very worried that she would lose him.

Later, she took a leave of absence and returned to Japan, and due to family reasons, she broke off contact with Li Jingwei.

This time she met Li Jingwei by chance, which made her feel that the fate of the two was destined. So, she just made up her mind that she planned to return to Japan after the holidays to have a showdown with her parents.

In a café not far from Central Park, a middle-aged man is sitting alone reading a newspaper. On the table in front of him, there were two cups of coffee that were still steaming.

At this moment, a handsome young man walked in from the outside. If Red Sakura were here, he would have recognized him as the silver fox who had just returned from Central Park.

The silver fox walked straight to the vacant seat in front of the middle-aged man and sat down, then leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said: "Old Hu, I said that you are too deductible, you can order me such a cup of cappuccino, why do you want to have a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain? ”

"Blue Mountain, do you want to eat blueberries?" said the middle-aged man angrily, "I went out in a hurry, and I didn't bring enough money, you can please this meal, and I will make it up for you next time." ”

When the silver fox heard this, he immediately exploded, pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "I said Lao Hu, don't bring this." For each operation, the organization is funded. I haven't made a penny now, so why don't you let me post it upside down?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was also a little short of breath, and his voice suddenly lowered. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Recently, your mother has been more strict, and I am relatively tight-handed." For a small matter like today, I am not embarrassed to ask the organization for funding. So... This one... Ah, you know, ah......"

Silver Fox suddenly felt amused, and laughed: "Old Hu, you are a miserable mess! You are also a senior engineer and the director of the company's R&D department, and Hang Lung Pharmaceutical Company is so profitable, plus you hold shares, shouldn't you? “

In order to hide his embarrassment, Lao Hu took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and changed the topic: "How is today's action?"

The silver fox was unrelenting, and continued to say in a weird manner: "I heard that your R&D department recruited a beautiful female doctor not long ago, and she is still a blonde and blue-eyed Yanma, and she is very close to you. On the twentieth of last month, the two also had a candlelight dinner together. It seems that you have a second spring in your life!"

Lao Hu immediately blushed and argued vigorously: "What candlelight dinner? It was a dinner party in our department to celebrate the success of the new drug development, and Emily happened to sit next to me, and my colleagues could testify for me." ”

"Lao Hu, it's useless for you to tell me this, the key is to confess the facts to my mother and clarify the truth, right? After all, he is the chairman of the board of directors and a major shareholder, right? Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Although you have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, but it is not right to move a thief's heart, isn't it? You must deeply reflect on your own ideological mistakes, and consciously keep in line with the company's top leaders in thought and action. The silver fox seemed to be a little thirsty, took a sip of coffee, and continued:

"Men, when you don't make a mistake, you just make a mistake that every man makes, so don't be depressed. However, it is still necessary to seriously reflect on one's mistakes. As the saying goes, the prodigal son does not change his money. ”

"Hey, I said stinky boy, I just had a meal, what did I do wrong?"

"Tsk... You see, what kind of attitude do you have? Are you a little conscious, and the leader says that you are wrong, you are wrong, right? Not realizing your mistake is a big mistake in itself. How could the leader be wrong?" the silver fox continued to educate bitterly:

"So, I think your attitude is very problematic. First, it is not sincere, and secondly, it does not reflect deeply enough on the problem and does not have a comprehensive understanding of the mistakes. ”

"What are you going to do now? See if the flower shop doesn't buy a bouquet of flaming roses and order a candlelit dinner at a fancy restaurant. Then, holding flowers in hand, invite the leaders to dinner. Finally, at the time of eating, it is right to seriously confess your mistakes to the leader and sincerely express your determination to correct your mistakes. ”

When Lao Hu heard this, he suddenly realized, and said in his heart: "This stinky boy is a flower, but it seems that he still has a set of tricks when dealing with women." ”

He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, but I don't have any money now, and your mother has taken the card, can you lend me some money first." ”

When the silver fox heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy. He took a sip of the coffee on the table and continued: "It's gratifying to see that you can seriously recognize your mistakes and change your attitude in time." However, to be honest with you, I don't have a lot of money lately, and I have all my money in the stock market, and I don't have any cash in my hands. ”

As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out two 100-yuan bills, handed them to Lao Hu, and said, "These 200 yuan are given to you, and you don't have to pay them back." It's enough for you to buy flowers and take a taxi to the company. ”

Lao Hu saw that his son actually had a thick wad of banknotes in his wallet, but when he heard him say that he didn't have any cash in his hand, he was a little annoyed and said: "You obviously have a lot of money in your wallet, give me more, count it as I borrowed, and pay you back." ”

"Hey, I said, Lao Hu, why are you so unkind? Why do you want so much money? Now that you have entertained the leader, do you still need to pay for the dinner? Do you still have to worry about having no pocket money? All you need is start-up capital, do you understand? After that, you will rely on your own operation. When the silver fox saw Lao Hu's reaction, he was immediately disappointed with his level of pickling girls. However, he still nodded: "You have to think about how to make the leader happy, and when the leader is happy, you won't have everything." ”

The silver fox's words suddenly made Lao Hu feel empowered, and when he looked at his son's eyes, he actually had a little admiration. He said again and again, "Okay, okay! ”

As he spoke, he happily put the banknotes handed over by the silver fox into his pocket.

Seeing Lao Hu's movements, the silver fox also felt funny in his heart.
