"Where did Brother Qing go?" Fang Yong couldn't sit still, stretched his neck to look out of the door, looking anxious, "It's been so long, why haven't you even seen a figure?"

Lin Qiuqiu gently pursed her mouth, tugged at the fluffy ears of the rabbit doll in her arms, and said nothing.

Fang Yong laughed dryly and lifted his butt from the sofa: "Or... Shall I go out and have a look?"

"Sit down!"

Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes widened, so frightened that Fang Yong shrank his neck, sat back with his buttocks, and sighed: "This was originally a great joy, what is the purpose of making this famous hall." ”

"You know what. Long Wu snorted angrily, "This kid is used to being wild outside, if you don't give him some color, I really think that Miss is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch." He has been away from home for so long, and Miss is alone with her stomach to support the family business, why can't she stand such a little grievance?"

Fang Yong muttered: "If you really want to give Brother Qing a little power, you should be busy with your own work, no one will pay attention to him, let it dry for two days first." The result is good, this time I heard that the people came back, and hurriedly called everyone to gather here, didn't it make him proud. ”

Long Wu lightly kicked Fang Yong: "If you don't say you're stupid, it's still our young lady who is smart." ”

Fang Yong looked suspicious: "How do you say this?"

"You have to give a sweet date for a slap. Long Wu said, "Li Qing, this kid is really not a thing, it's right for you to punish him, but you can't punish him heavily." Otherwise, he thought that he had been punished as he deserved, and that was the end of the matter, he had no guilt at all, and he would have to draw a gourd in the same way when he turned around, and he would not have to make a mistake again. ”

Fang Yong suddenly realized, and slapped his face: "Gao Ming." ”

Lin Qiuqiu's face flushed slightly: "I didn't think about it so much, after all, he is the head of the Li family, and it's always bad to do too much." When outsiders looked at it, they thought I was going to share power with him. ”

Ning Manxuan had just finished making the phone call and walked out of the house, her voice was very soft: "I just called Miss Mu, and she said that she is busy right now, and she may come over very late." ”

"Busy?" Lin Qiuqiu's delicate cheeks flashed a strange look, and then he exhaled softly, "She really has a heart, now not only does she feel that Li Qing owes her, but it seems that even I am a little sorry for her." ”

Ning Manxuan was smart, and naturally understood the meaning of Lin Qiuqiu's words, nodded slightly at the moment, and said "um" lightly.

Long Wusi looked down: "Where is that girl Xiaoman, where did she run away at this time?"

Ning Manxuan said with a smile: "Xiaoman, she brought her classmates to play at home today, and she didn't know where to go crazy." I've asked someone to look for him, and I don't know his brother has come back at this time. Otherwise, with this girl's temperament, she would have run back impatiently. ”

Long Wu let out a sullen breath: "When Li Qing comes back, I really have to let him take care of this sister, he is crazy all day long, how can he look like a young lady." ”

Lin Qiuqiu smiled lightly, but was silent.

The room fell into a brief silence again, Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes blinked, and her eyes couldn't help but shift to the wall clock on the wall, staring at the minute hand moving little by little, and a little longing and urgency quietly appeared in her eyes.

From the main gate of the Li family mansion to the back house, Li Qing has indeed walked for a long time. However, this can't be completely blamed on Li Qing, after all, he encountered someone else blocking the way.

"Xiaoman. Li Qing looked down at the little girl in front of her who was full of princess-like noble temperament, and asked softly, "Sister Qiuqiu, how are you doing these days?

Li Qing wanted to grasp all the movements of the Li family during this period of time before meeting Lin Qiuqiu. He was worried that this woman would wronged herself for the sake of the overall situation of the family, so she would hide something from him, so he asked this question.

And Li Xiaoman in front of him is naturally the best source of information for Li Qing to inquire about.

"Hmm..." Xiaoman lowered his head, blinked his big eyes and thought silently, the two small balls with long hair tied at the back of his head trembled, and they were cute.

"How long has my brother been away from Lingang?" Li Xiaoman suddenly asked.

"Is the exact number?" Li Qing asked with a smile, and then replied softly, "The exact time should be in ** months, but I was very busy before, and I haven't seen Xiaoman for nearly a year." ”

After a pause, Li Qing asked again, "Does Xiaoman have something to say to his brother?"

Li Xiaoman raised his head and looked at Li Qing: "The one named Li Shi seems to be very restless, and Sister Qiuqiu has always been angry." ”

"Restless?" Li Qing looked around, and then refocused his gaze on Xiao Man, "Where is he restless?"

"Sister Qiuqiu has said to Sister Manxuan and Old Man Long a few times that he is very disrespectful. ”

"Very disrespectful?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, he was quite surprised by this kind of statement. If you want to say that Li Zhi acted on his own initiative, and even had the suspicion of overstepping the master, Li Qing absolutely believed it, but what did the so-called disrespectful mean? After all, it was really hard to imagine that such words would come from Lin Qiuqiu's mouth, but more like Xie Yuyan's style.

Li Qing asked, "What do you mean by being very disrespectful?" Have you heard Sister Qiuqiu talk about it?"

Xiaoman shook his head: "I don't understand either, but there are still a few times when Sister Qiuqiu secretly told Old Man Long that Li Zhi had embezzled the money in the account, and the amount seemed to be not small." ”

Li Qing blinked his eyes and looked down at Xiaoman: "You eavesdropped?"

"Brother blames me?"

"No, it won't. Li Qing smiled and shook his head, "Xiaoman didn't do anything wrong, I won't blame you." Even if you do, as long as Xiaoman admits his mistake, I won't blame you. ”

"It's better to be a brother. Xiao Man grinned and giggled. She was about to speak again, when Li Qing suddenly put her finger in front of her lips and made a silent gesture.

Xiao Man realized at the moment, turned around and looked towards the end of the path, only to see a man in his thirties already approaching in a hurry.

"Li Zhi..."Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "The news came quite quickly..."

"Cousin!" Li Shiyuan beckoned, a smile bloomed on his face, and he pulled the mustache diagonally to both sides, looking quite funny.

He walked fast, but showed no signs of running. The leather shoes are dark and shiny, the trousers are straight, and the upper body is covered with a blue checkered shirt, and the tie has been untied and tucked into the shirt pocket on the chest. It was as if he had just attended some formal occasion, and as soon as he got the news, he couldn't wait to come over.

Coming to Li Qing, Li Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and subconsciously unbuttoned his neckline: "Why don't you say hello in advance when you come back, I'll send a car to pick you up." ”

Li Qing squinted, looked Li Shi up and down, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart. Today's Li Zhi has indeed changed a lot a year ago, both in words and actions, he is quite old. The temperament that comes out from the inside out makes people feel more intimate at the same time, but it is also terrifying.

Li Qing didn't know if this was an illusion, but he always felt that Li Zhi in front of him seemed to be much more difficult to deal with than Li Xian back then.

"Anyway, I'm going back to my own home, I'm familiar with the way, so I don't need to pick it up. Li Qing replied lightly, patted Li Shi's shoulder, and then hugged him gently.

The two of them are as familiar as brothers who have been reunited for a long time, and Li Shi didn't seem to hear the double meaning between Li Qing's words, so he just smiled and said: "I'll go and arrange a few tables of good dishes, and our family will get together tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"Forget it. Li Qing waved his hand, "I want to go to see Qiuqiu first, and I want to stay with her tonight." The reception banquet is exempt, although I also think about the relatives in the clan, but the current economic situation is not good, everyone is busy, so don't bother. Let's have a clan meeting in a few days and get together together. ”

"Hahahaha, or you're thoughtful, okay. Li Shi nodded with a smile, "I will inform them of the news of your return in a while, so that everyone can rest assured." ”

"Yes. Li Qing nodded, and then glanced around Li Shi again, "Who are you?"

"Oh. Li Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "The project of Gangbei Bay has ended, and it will be open in another week." Qiuqiu is not in good health for a while, so I went to talk to the Qi family on her behalf today about cooperation. However, there was no result, after all, we had to wait for the Xie family and the three families to gather before they could finally finalize the sharing ratio. ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "That's it, it's really hard cousin." ”

"It's all small things on the outside, but it's a matter within the clan, and it's a bit tricky. Li Zhi leaned towards Li Qing, "You have to be a little prepared when you come back this time." ”

"What's wrong?" Li Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, "There can still be chaos within the family?"

"Cousin, don't forget the admonition of the uncle. Li Shi reminded meaningfully, "If the foundation is broken, no matter how tall the building is, it will only collapse in the end." There are no trivial matters in our clan, and as the head of the family, you can't take it lightly. ”

Li Qing nodded: "Tell me, what's the problem?"

"Alas. Li Shi sighed softly, looking helpless, "I don't say that you should also guess, those old people in our clan are stubborn in their thinking, and they can't tolerate people with the surname next to them to interfere in the family business." I've talked to them several times, but they're all elders, and a few of them are still from the same generation as the eldest uncle, so what do you want me to do? It's not good to say it too badly, and it's rude. ”

Li Qing looked aware: "Are you talking about Qiuqiu? You should know that Qiuqiu's ability to do things is far more than a hundred times stronger than mine." Although we are not married yet, she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Li family, and she is the well-deserved hostess of the Li family's mansion. ”

Li Shi had a bitter expression: "It is indeed one thing that the two of you are not married, and some rumors are inevitable, but this is not the main reason." Our Li family's century-old tradition has never allowed women to participate in the family business, and if you want to break this precedent, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
