Chapter 60

After Li Shuo returned home, he called Wen Xiaohui and said that the assistant would send a box of fruit that he had brought back from Sanya.

Wen Xiaohui said a few words, and asked cautiously: "Brother Li, are you in a bad mood?" You okay? โ€

"It's okay, why do you ask?" Li Shuo pretended to be relaxed.

"Oh, no, I don't have much energy to listen to your voice, I'm tired."

"Well, sort of, eat the fruit while it's fresh."

"Okay, thank you. Oh yes......" Wen Xiaohui continued, "Well, Shao Qun was discharged from the hospital. โ€

Li Shuo let out a flat "oh", he didn't care about Shao Qun, it was best never to hear this name related to Zhao Jinxin.

"He and Cheng Xiu are going to move back to the capital, just recently."

"That's good, it'll be easier for us to meet in the future."

"Yes, yes, with our support, Shao Qun will definitely not dare to bully Cheng Xiu in the future."

Li Shuo smiled and did not pick up.

"By the way, Brother Li, I recently met a few more friends, including models, actors, and Xiaokai, the conditions are all very good, when are you free, make an appointment to come out and meet."

Li Shuo chuckled: "Xiaohui, thank you, but I haven't adjusted for the time being, and I want to relax alone for a while." It is said that the best way to forget a relationship is to start a new relationship, and he has also tried to contact others, such as Xiao Qi, but it turned out to be extremely embarrassing, and he didn't plan to date anyone again until he felt ready.

"I know, I know, it's better to be single, really. I think that I was also a prodigal son who lingered in the flowers, just like a free wolf galloping on the grassland, and now when I go out for a drink, I have to report in advance, alas. โ€

Li Shuo was amused by Wen Xiaohui's description of "inconsistent with the real thing": "In this way, it's hard for you to fall in love." โ€

"No, the family is too strict." Wen Xiaohui laughed, "So, really, it's good to be single." โ€

"Well, it's good to be single." Li Shuo also sighed.

Most of the bad things in this world are because of the first heart.

The next day, Li Shuo received a text message from Zhao Rongtian, with only a few words: Okay, I will return to China tomorrow.

Li Shuo decided to run back to Sanya today, otherwise if he was in Beijing, he would not be able to meet at all.

As soon as he booked a plane ticket, his father's phone called, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Mr. Li said happily: "I heard that your Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are going back to China to inspect the branch, by the way, take a look at my son, your mother and I plan to come back with them, we haven't returned to China for more than two years." โ€

Li Shuo could only echo: "Yes, I just took you to Sanya to have a look." โ€

"Okay, find Lao Cui to drink, haha."

Mrs. Li snatched the phone: "Son, is it cold in China, what clothes should I bring?" โ€

Li Shuo had to patiently analyze what to wear for the current season, and at the same time sent a text message to the assistant to cancel the ticket to Sanya.

He thought that if he had to see Zhao Jinxin at that time, then he would find another excuse.

On the morning of the day after tomorrow, the four elders landed at the capital airport, and Li Shuo expected that Zhao Jinxin would not be able to get through the phone and should not come to pick up the airport, so he drove to the airport.

When I arrived at the airport, Zhao Jinxin really didn't come, but Shao Wen came, and the two of them were a little embarrassed when they met, but they just said hello politely.

Li Shuo had an intimate relationship with his parents, and then went to greet Zhao Rongtian and his wife.

Zhao Rongtian held Li Shuo's hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Li Shuo, I asked you to help last time, it was a reluctant invitation, thank you." โ€

Li Shuo said sincerely: "Don't say that, it's just that it didn't help, I'm embarrassed." โ€

"Hey, I don't blame you for this, I'm coming back this time to see what this kid is doing." Zhao Rongtian frowned, and he didn't know if he was talking to Li Shuo or talking to himself, "He really hasn't been like this since he grew up, it's really strange......"

Li Shuo pretended not to hear and took the fucking luggage: "Let's go, let's go home." โ€

The two families were separated at the airport, and Li Shuo took his parents and went straight to the house.

On the way, Mr. Li asked about Zhao Jinxin: "Hey, what's going on with Jinxin?" I haven't been to work for a long time. Lao Zhao didn't say anything, couldn't something happen? โ€

"It's nothing, I went to see it, people are fine, maybe they're young and lazy."

"Jin Xin is really fun-loving." Mrs. Li said, "You forgot that when he was a child, I don't know how much he made his parents." โ€

"Isn't that when I was a child, when my son was a child, he still organized anti-discrimination โ–กโ–ก and went to Africa to help teach."

Li Shuo couldn't cry or laugh: "Dad, I'm not doing those things for fun, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's not the same thing at all." Public welfare is a social obligation for him now, not a way of self-realization, and he has a fixed proportion of public welfare expenditure in his annual financial budget, but he will never do anything with enthusiasm and fanfare as much as he did when he was young, and of course, he is still proud of the excitement and emotion of his youth. How can this be compared with Zhao Jinxin.

He didn't want to compare anything about himself to Zhao Jinxin.

Mr. Li smiled: "That's right, it's still Xiaoshuo that makes us worry." โ€

When he got home, Li Shuo settled his parents, and let his father talk to Mr. Cui on the phone, and Mr. Cui went abroad to talk about business, and the project in Sanya was temporarily followed up by Mr. Cui's head office, and it was progressing very well.

Li Shuo plans to invite Zhou Jinxing out for dinner tomorrow and tell his father about the project in detail. Unexpectedly, Zhao Rongtian took the first step to make an appointment for dinner the next day.

Li Shuo ostensibly agreed, but in the afternoon of the next day, he began to pretend to have a headache and avoided the meeting of the two families.

After returning from dinner, Mr. Li asked Li Shuo curiously, "You really don't know what happened to Jinxin?" Didn't you hear any wind? He's lost a lot of weight, and he's not very energetic. โ€

Li Shuo heard this name, and the headache that was originally pretended to be true seemed to have become true, and he said, "I really don't know." โ€

"Oh. By the way, you can go with me to Ennan tomorrow morning and inspect it together. โ€

In the face of work, Li Shuo couldn't find an excuse to shirk it, so he had to agree.

Mrs. Li glanced at Li Shuo strangely and didn't say anything.

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 wanted to speak and stopped.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Shuo patted the side of the bed, "Do you have something to look for me?" Come and sit. โ€

Mrs. Li tightened her shawl, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Li Shuo with some solemnity: "Son, ......"

Li Shuo frowned and looked at her, the preoccupied look made him very puzzled, obviously he was fine before going to dinner, could it be ...... What did Zhao Jinxin say?! He was suddenly a little nervous, and gently held her hand: "Mom, what's wrong?" There's nothing to hide between us. โ€

"Are you...... Hey......" Mrs. Li said with some embarrassment, "Did you break up with Jin Xin?" โ€

Li Shuo was already prepared in his heart, although he was surprised, he didn't come out, he smiled calmly: "Mom, what are you talking about." "He didn't know if the really knew, or if he guessed.

"Don't hide it from me, once Ah Guang leaked his mouth in front of me, and I asked him." Mrs. Li sighed, "I can understand why you are hiding it from us, I don't dare to let your father know, your father will definitely be angry if he knows." โ€

Li Shuo soothed: "Mom, we are all adults, we are in free love, even if Dad knows, there is nothing to be angry about, besides, ......" He lowered his eyes, "Now that it is divided, there is no need to mention it." โ€

"Oops!" Mrs. Li exhaled heavily, she seemed to be a little angry, but she didn't know how to vent, and finally picked up her fist and gently slapped Li Shuo, "You are really ...... You dare to say that your dad won't be angry! โ€

Li Shuo smiled bitterly: "Mom, this is our business, just don't let my dad know, why are you angry?" โ€

"What am I angry about? I'm angry with you for your character of attracting bees and butterflies! Jin Xin is not an ordinary person, he is your father's friend and the son of the boss, you can't just dump it. โ€

"......" Li Shuo was speechless.

Mrs. Li shook her head and sighed: "Xiao Shuo, don't take your feelings so casually, just casually, just divide them casually, how can this work." Jin Xin is younger than you, maybe there is something in his personality that needs to be run-in, so let's run in, it's only been a few months, you see him sad like that, I feel guilty. โ€

Li Shuo rubbed his eyebrows, he really felt a splitting headache, and he said softly: "Mom, things are not what you think, we do ...... Well, it doesn't get along, it's a peaceful breakup. โ€

"A peaceful breakup?" Mrs. Li raised her voice, "Today, Jin Xin has been asking me about you from the side, and he is also a lot haggard, do you dare to say that he has nothing to do with you becoming like that?"

Li Shuo opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

From other people's point of view, he is indeed more like the "guilty party", and it is impossible for him to make public the ins and outs of the two of them, and he is simply speechless.

Mrs. Li said uncomfortably: "Xiaoshuo, my mother really wants you to find someone to settle down quickly." At that time, Ah Guang said that when you and Jin Xin were together, I was so happy, he happened to belong to the sheep, and the relationship between our two families was good, it was just kissing and kissing...... Emotional things can't be forced, but sometimes you can't just give up. Mom still hopes that you will think about it, solve the contradictions, it is not easy to be together with fate, okay? โ€

Li Shuo felt extremely uncomfortable. He really wanted to tell his mother how many grievances and pain this relationship had precipitated in his heart, and he thought he hadn't done anything wrong, but looking at his mother's worried, caring, and earnest eyes, he naturally couldn't speak. He could only avoid the important and say lightly: "Mom, you believe me, our breakup is definitely not my reason." โ€

Mrs. Li said earnestly: "I know, he must have made a mistake because he was immature, but you have to give people a chance to correct it, right?" Mom didn't force you to do something, I just reasoned with you, even if that person was not Zhao Jinxin, I would say the same. โ€

No matter how many details, Li Shuo is really out of the way, and it's useless to say more, two couples with a large age gap broke up, the older one seems chic, the younger one looks decadent, anyone will have a judgment similar to. He had no choice but to nod resignedly, and said perfunctorily: "Mom, I know, I know it in my heart." โ€

Mrs. Li patted him on the shoulder, looked at him carefully, and smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a little sadness in her eyes.

Li Shuo was a little hairy by her: "Mom, go to bed early." โ€

Mrs. Li sighed lightly: "Sometimes I think, blame me for giving birth to you too well, so your love road is so bumpy." โ€

Li Shuo laughed: "Then should I thank you, or should I blame you?" โ€

"It doesn't matter if you thank me and blame me, Mom, as long as you are happy, it is enough."

Li Shuo gently pressed her forehead with his forehead: "I will, go to sleep." โ€

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 line of thought, if his father knew that he had "dumped" Zhao Jinxin, he would definitely be furious. Thankfully, they've already split, fortunately...... Zhao Jinxin had already left without looking back.

It's just that when I think that I will see Zhao Jinxin tomorrow, tonight is destined to be sleepless.
