The next day was working hours. He Li had been busy in his office. It was not until noon that he remembered that he had to go to Meng Yan's internship. He originally wanted to call Jin Xiaomao to come over, but as soon as he picked up the phone, he thought that he should take the initiative to look for him! Firstly, she could show that she cared about him. Secondly, she could show Director Shaw, Xi Mengyan's old classmate, that she had a boyfriend. She could also use Director Shaw's mouth to convey her situation to him.
Hence, she went straight to the human resources department. As expected, she met Director Shaw outside the office. Director Shaw quickly asked,"Director Xu, why are you here?”
In the past, she didn't dare to reveal her relationship with Jin Xiaomao, mainly because she hid her personal problems from him. Now that he knew everything, He Li felt that there was no need to hide it.
" I'm here for Jin Xiaomao," she said." We have some private matters to discuss at noon."”
Director Xu already knew that Jin Xiaomao and Director Xu were a little different. When he heard her say this, he quickly helped him out. After a while, Jin Xiaomao walked over. He Li deliberately went up and held his hand. The two of them chatted and laughed as they left the company.
It was still the same Menglan Western Restaurant. When they arrived, the restaurant was almost full. There were still a few people queuing outside. He Li told the waiter that she was looking for someone and that he should have been waiting for them here a long time ago. The waiter asked him to make a call and ask which table they were at. He Li was about to make the call when Xi Mengyan seemed to have come out of the bathroom. When he saw them, he said to the waiter,"These are the two friends I want to invite. Let them in.”
The three of them came to the table and sat down. He Li went straight to the point and said,"Xi Mengyan, do you see? This is Jin Xiaomao, my boyfriend.”
Jin Xiaomao reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with the other party and then be polite. He Li blocked it with his hand and said,"You don't have to shake hands, and you don't have to know each other.”
Xi Mengyan looked at Jin Xiaomao and asked,"Mr. Jin, where are you working?”
He Li almost jumped up. She said,"Why are you asking so many questions? He's just a beggar. I want to live with him. I'm happy to be with him.”
Xi Mengyan said,"I won't stop you from living with him, but where's my daughter?" Did he also live with his beggar stepfather?”
Bad words, bad logic! Jin Xiaomao felt that Xi Mengyan was right, so he answered honestly,""I'm an administrative assistant in Lili's company.”
"Wow, an administrative assistant in her company?”Xi Mengyan laughed." If you work in her company, doesn't that mean she's supporting you?”
He Li retorted," Don't look for trouble for no reason. He works diligently in our company, and he's competent for this job. The money he earns is enough to support an ordinary family.”
"I believe that. It's not a problem to support an ordinary family, but is our family an ordinary family? The child had to go to the best school, eat, use, and live in the best. Could he afford it?”Xi Mengyan raised his voice and asked.
Xi Mengyan's words stimulated Jin Xiaomao's self-esteem. He stood up and said,""What are you arguing about? Why are you gossiping about whether we can afford it or not? If you're afraid that we can't afford it, then return the three million yuan to us. You still want a woman to give you three million yuan after the divorce. He Li is mine, and Tao Tao is also ours. If you don't believe me, we'll just wait and see.”
He Li gave him a thumbs up. Jin Xiaomao finally said something she liked to hear.
"Whatever you say, it's still not certain whose it will be in the end!”Xi Mengyan laughed. Back then, so many people pursued He Li, but in the end, he was the one who won the beauty. It was all because of his pestering. Since this was the second time he was pursuing He Li, he knew He Li's weakness. Moreover, there was still an important bargaining chip, which was Tao Tao. After all, Tao Tao was his and He Li's biological child. He would not lose.
The waiter had already served everything that Xi Mengyan wanted, but he picked up the suit on the back of the chair and stood up to say goodbye.""I suddenly have something to do. I'll leave first.”
After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to them."By the way, I've already paid the bill. You guys eat well!”After saying that, he left the western restaurant without looking back.
"Ignore him. Let's eat." He Li smiled. A free lunch must not be wasted! However, she did not know what he would do next, and her heart could not help but beat wildly.
Xi Mengyan went straight to He Li's house as soon as he left the restaurant.
When Mother He saw Xi Mengyan for the first time, she wanted to push him away.""What are you doing here? Our whole family doesn't welcome you here.”
"Mom, listen to me…"
"Who's your mother? There are so many people on the streets. Go and call them wherever you like!”Mother He said impatiently.
"Mom, even if I divorced Lili, I've never changed. You're Taotao's grandmother, so it's not too much for me to call you Mom, right?”Xi Mengyan said shamelessly.
Mrs. He didn't think much of it. She knew what kind of person Xi Mengyan was. He had been gone for several years and didn't even come to see his child. He must have some ulterior motive for suddenly coming to court her. She looked at Xi Mengyan with disdain and said,""Just tell me, what are you here for?
"Mom, I've been away for so many years. I've been floating around overseas alone. No one cares about me or helps me. Only then did I realize how important family is to me. Only then did I realize how much of a jerk I was in the past. I quarreled with Lili over such a small matter, and I shouldn't have proposed a divorce. I've let Lili down, let the child down, and let you two down.”Xi Mengyan said with tears in his eyes," I came back this time hoping to get your forgiveness. Of course, the most important thing is to get the forgiveness of Li Li and Tao Tao. Then, I'll remarry Li Li and the three of us will live happily together forever.
Although Mother He was a little moved by his words, she still said,"When you asked for three million yuan from our Lili, did you think about the consequences? Let me tell you, if you use money to hurt someone's feelings, then you are already worthless in her eyes.”
After all, Mother He was a teacher. Sometimes, what she said made sense and made people think deeply.
Xi Mengyan nodded his head repeatedly and kept repenting,""Mom, I know it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left Lili. Mom, please forgive me."
"What's the use of me forgiving you? Li-li doesn't forgive you, everything is in vain.”Mother He waved her hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
Xi Mengyan pretended not to see it and continued to support Mother He."Mom, if I remarry Li Li, firstly, my relationship with Li Li will be seamless. Secondly, Taotao and I will break our bones and join our tendons. She will accept me very soon. You also know that kinship is very important to the child's future. If you let Jin Xiaomao be Taotao's stepfather, can your relationship be compared to mine?”
At the mention of Jin Xiaomao, Mrs. He stopped and asked,""How do you know Jin Xiaomao?"
"Well, this afternoon, Li Li brought him to see me. She even said that she wanted to be with him. I can tell that this person is not much. He said that he is an assistant in Li Li Company, but in fact, he is just a woman. Let me tell you, Mom, this person is going for Lili's money. You must not agree!”When Xi Mengyan spoke ill of others, his words would usually flow like a river.
"This child, why haven't you ended it with him yet?”Mrs. He grumbled," I also think that this Jin Xiaomao is not good. Firstly, he has no education and secondly, he has no background. To be honest, his situation is not as good as yours. If I had to choose a side, I would definitely stand on your side."”
As she spoke, Mother He's tone unconsciously leaned towards Xi Mengyan, and she began to favor him in her heart. Xi Mengyan was ecstatic. He quickly said,""Mom, that's right. As long as you stand on my side, I'll definitely make Li Li change her mind. I promise!”
"Really?" Mother He said doubtfully," Alright, I can support you, but you must be good to Lili and Taotao in the future, understand?"”
"Good! Definitely, definitely!" Xi Mengyan replied with a smug smile on his face.
