Chapter 269: Forget-me-not
[Elders: The fierce Li mother and the eldest brother of Yi Place. 】
At this moment, Li Sheng also came over with a piece of cake, "Come, Rui Rui."
"I came first, eat mine." Li Luo looked at Li Sheng with sideways eyes.
Li Sheng did not show weakness, "Of course you have to eat me, she is the person I brought."
"Hmph~" Li Luo looked at him with a mocking look, "What about what Uncle Xiao brought, Sister Rui Rui is not your girlfriend yet, through the last time, we have become good friends, and we will definitely eat me."
"Eat me."
"Mine."
The two of them held the cake, and no one let anyone stand, Xie Yirui didn't know which one to take, and Li Ang was speechless about the childish behavior of the two.
"I, a great living being, stand before you, and don't you ask me if I want to eat?"
Xie Yirui was amused by Li Ang's words, the other two put away their childishness, and still did not move with the cake, and finally, Li Luo compromised and handed the cake to Li Ang, "Dad, then this piece will be eaten for you."
"You're so reluctant, Dad is embarrassed to take it."
"Don't force it, I don't care about naïve adults, Dad takes it, I'll get it again." Leon took the cake, and Rilo glanced at Lisheng before leaving.
Li Ang looked at the cake and expressed embarrassment, gave it to Xie Yirui, and said to Li Sheng, "Childish adult, don't worry about me, I don't like sweets either. I'll give this piece to Ruirui, and the two of you can be sweet together."
Xie Yirui embarrassedly took the cake from Li Ang's hand, "Thank you, Brother Li!"
"No thanks, the naivety of the two of them together, it's not the first time you see it, just get used to it later."
Li Sheng lowered his eyes, "Big brother, don't slander me, it's your daughter who provoked me first."
Li Ang ignored him and smiled at Xie Yirui, "I'll go first, you can talk."
"Okay."
Xie Yirui looked at the back of Li Ang leaving, and felt full of warmth, she noticed that he had changed his name to herself, and he was really a very approachable elder.
"You like my big brother very much, huh?" He had just noticed that the two of them were talking happily, and he would be reluctant to let him go away.
Xie Yirui retracted her gaze, "Your eldest brother is an elder who people like to get along with."
"If you think it's easy to get along."
She suddenly laughed at him and said, "Childish adult, this nickname is good!"
"Lilo's little ghost is screaming, and you are also fooling."
She pursed her lips and smiled, "If I hadn't seen you and Li Luo together, I wouldn't believe that Mr. Li could have such a childish moment, it's very rare."
"Good, rare, rare." He glanced at the cake in his hand, "Shall I feed you?"
"Huh?" Xie Yirui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, I have my own."
He scooped a mouthful to feed her, and she quickly scooped one herself into her mouth.
"Are you shy?"
Knowingly asked, the evil smile made her look away, but she ushered in his sister. Li Sheng has taken her to know her briefly, she is a relatively cold woman, very similar to Li's mother, she smiles less, and has a pair of eyes that look sharp.
The three of them just started chatting for a while, and Li Sheng's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law came over with two or three cousins, and it was the same, not long after chatting, Li's mother appeared.
Everyone greeted her, only to see her look at Li Sheng and say, "I want to borrow this girl for a while."
As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately walked away, Li Sheng took Xie Yirui's hand, smiled at her slightly, intended to make her not nervous, and then said to Li Mu, "You can be gentle, otherwise it will be easy to scare her."
A few people who hadn't gone far almost didn't laugh, and Sister Li Sheng pulled him and left first.
Li Mu glanced at Xie Yirui, walked around her to the small round table on stilts, put down the wine in her hand, and Xie Yirui also put down the cake, and then put her hands down beside her. Li Mu saw her restraint, but didn't say anything.
Li's mother's long white and blue cheongsam makes people feel graceful and luxurious, Xie Yirui likes her makeup, but her serious face makes people nervous unconsciously.
After listening to what Gang Leang said, Xie Yirui didn't know whether to be happy or not for Li's mother to come to find her.
"If I'm not mistaken, this dress of yours was given by the fourth child, as well as this pair of earrings and this necklace, all of them."
Xie Yirui was surprised how she could know, and when she was silent, Li Mu understood.
"He has been in Beicheng for so many years, and most of the suits are custom-made by the same family, and the texture of your skirt is very similar to the suit he wore. As for your jewelry, he asked the daughter-in-law of my eldest and second eldest when he bought it, and I saw the product picture. It's not a good grade, but it's quite valuable to you."
Xie Yirui was silent again, because she was right.
That dress, Li Sheng said that she just saw it, and she bought it when she thought it was suitable for her. He gave her anything, she couldn't stop it, and at the same time it became a habit, and the same goes for this skirt. And the jewelry was a birthday gift he gave her before, because he couldn't go back to Li Cheng to celebrate her birthday, so he gave two copies, one as compensation.
During the day, when she was worried about the jewelry, Shangguan Chen offered to lend it to her, how could she be vain enough to borrow it to support the scene, she was already planning to wear what she bought, remembering what Li Sheng gave before, but there were several sets, it was his family who wanted to see him, and it was okay to wear the jewelry he gave her, and in the end, she wore the jewelry he bought. Unexpectedly, Li Mu saw it at a glance.
"The jewelry and dresses are OK, but the high heels under your feet still betray your identity, I think it should be the most high-end you bought."
There was no doubt, almost a stated tone, and her eyes were really sharp. Xie Yirui subconsciously moved her feet, very slightly, for fear of being discovered by Li's mother, so she hurriedly froze. She suddenly thought of her coat and bag, which had been taken by the maid and put away by the maid when she entered the villa, otherwise it would have been even more clumsy.
"But..." Li Mu's gaze was fixed on Xie Yirui's face.
Xie Yirui didn't dare to move, she didn't even dare to move her eyes, she could only look at her, afraid that she wouldn't know what to say to make her speechless.
I saw Li Mu lightly open her lips, "The nude makeup is good, the face is beautiful, and the eyes are bright." Then, his eyes swept over her, "She has a good figure, she has a good skin."
All the words that praise people can be said from Li Mu's mouth, there is no emotion, there is no fluctuation in the expression, listening and watching, it is not like praising people.
Xie Yirui understood what she meant, but she still didn't say anything, the corners of her mouth raised, and she thanked her for affirming her appearance with a faint smile.
"How old are you?"
Finally she was able to answer the question, "22 years old."
"My fourth child is celebrating his thirtieth birthday today, you should know, right?"
"Yes." The premonition is not good, this is to say that the age difference.
"Do you see the big boy next to him? Guess how old he is, he's the eldest child in my family."
Xie Yirui looked in the direction of Li Sheng's mother's finger, the boy standing next to Li Sheng looked about the same age as herself, his height was about to catch up with Li Sheng, and his youth and handsomeness could still be seen under the soft light.
"Don't worry, you're not any younger than him."
Xie Yirui knew that the age difference between Li Sheng and Li Ang was quite big, if Li Ang married early and had children early, it would be normal to have a child about the same age as herself, she just thought so, but she didn't expect Li Ang's mother to see her thoughts.
Seeing that she was silent, Li's mother continued, "He is a sophomore this year and is studying at Dongming University, the No. 1 university in Laicheng. He knew you, and when we talked about you, he said that he had seen you dance, and he knew that you were the school flower of Jingda, and that you were recognized as a goddess by many male students in the university town."
The corners of Xie Yirui's mouth slowly shrank down, and it was enough to embarrass her that she was about the same age as his eldest nephew. If someone else said the latter sentence, she should be happy, but Li Mu said that she was not happy at all, but made the embarrassment even worse.
How could Li Mu not be able to see that her face couldn't hold back, but this didn't make her stop talking to her.
"I just said a little off-topic, back to you and the fourth, may I ask, why do you like a man of my fourth's age?"
Xie Yirui didn't answer her reason directly, but replied, "I don't like Li Xian
I was born with a man of this age, but Mr. Lai, whom I fell in love with, happened to be at this age."
"Is there a difference?" Li Mu asked lightly.
Yes, but Xie Yirui didn't know how to explain it to her, and she was silent.
Although Li Mu was serious and did not smile, she did not show displeasure, and she was silent about Xie Yirui again and again, she was not angry, and always looked calm.
"The fourth child will like you, I fully understand, you are young and beautiful, if he doesn't like it, I should wonder if he has changed sex."
Sure enough, it was a mother and son, and what they said was the same, and Li Sheng said the same thing about himself. Xie Yirui really couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, and the corners of her mouth that had just hung up slightly froze again.
I saw Li Mu continue, "But you like him, I don't understand it. My son is extremely superior and charismatic, both in terms of his background and himself, and you have to find someone like him. But you are so young, I heard that dancing is very good, I believe it will not be difficult to find a boyfriend who is similar to your youth and excellent in the future. So, why do you like him? Is it what everyone thinks he came from?"
"It's not." Xie Yirui's blurt out scared Mother Li a little, but she saw that Mother Li's eyes unconsciously widened a little, showing a bit of fierceness.
Instead, she was frightened, and couldn't help but blink her eyes, and her hands under the table grabbed the hem of her skirt to suppress her nervousness.
"Then why do you say you like my fourth child?" His gaze softened a little.
Although she directly denied the reason just now, she couldn't say it hesitantly if she had to say the reason. Li Mu looked at her quietly, not impatient by her silence, but calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip elegantly.
Xie Yirui put her hands in front of her because of nervousness and clasped them together. Li Sheng just looked at her, seemed to feel her nervousness, and wanted to move, but was pulled by his sister.
"Don't worry, give Mom a little more time."
Li Sheng didn't answer, but he stopped, but he didn't retract his gaze until someone was talking to them again.
The stop-and-go figures, the clear laughter, and the crisp sound of wine glasses colliding did not affect the silent Li Mu and Xie Yirui.
Finally, "At the beginning, I rejected Mr. Lai's pursuit, not because of his age, but because of his identity, and to tell you the truth, as well as his style of life, I think that I am not from the same world as him.
Later, it was a surprise for me to fall in love with him. His persistence made me see his sincerity, he changed my life style because of me, he is a mature and steady adult, considerate to me, he tried to understand everything about me, and he also did understand and respect me, which made me feel very safe, and he also supported my pursuit of dance.
What touched me the most was that he also knew that I was not from the same world as him, but he gave me enough respect and tolerance to wait for me to slowly enter his world. Doesn't my aunt think that such a person is worthy of my liking?"
Mother Li suddenly smiled, smiled warmly, and even showed tenderness in her eyes, not to mention that Xie Yirui was surprised, and the others who were paying attention to their direction were a little surprised, it was rare to see Mother Li showing such a loving smile.
"You are very honest, and you also let me hear that there is another side to my son, which makes me, a mother, feel that I don't know enough about him. If I understand the style of life you just mentioned, what you want to express is his private life?"
