It was a sleepless night.
To Li He's surprise, Fu Xia chose the second option. However, to Li He's surprise, the place she chose was Singapore.
The reason she gave was simple. There were many Chinese of the same race in Singapore and they looked familiar. If she went to Europe or America, she would be intimidated by the tall and strong foreigners.
He asked Dong Hao to accompany her to apply for a visa. Then, he drove her back to Xianghe to deal with the company's matters. Everything had to be done according to the rules.
For the past two days, the two of them had not spoken much from beginning to end. One was angry, and the other was resentful.
Looking at Fu Yao who was eating the cake adorably, Li He's heart softened.
He hugged Fu Yao and rubbed her head. "Daddy will visit you when I have time, okay? Study hard, improve every day, and work hard to be a useful person. "
"I'm sorry." Fu Xia looked at this scene and finally lowered her head. Her career and status were gone. She didn't want to lose Li He again.
Li He closed his eyes and said softly, "Use your brain when you do things next time. You're in your thirties, so you can't just do whatever you want. Even if it's for the sake of your child, you have to be a role model. "
He still didn't look at her.
"I'm gone. About the company …" Fu Xia was still worried about the company she had worked so hard to build. "I want to recommend Feng Lei. He's a good kid. I forced him to do what he did last time. He had no choice. Why don't you give him a chance?"
Li He sneered. "If you can force him, so can others. That's not an excuse to make a mistake."
He wouldn't give anyone a chance.
"It's true that the old employees in the factory were all trained by me, but they are very serious about their work and are very capable. I don't want them to be affected because of me … I want …" Fu Xia took a step back and wanted to do something more.
Although she didn't want to admit that she was wrong, the result was already there. She didn't want others to suffer like her.
Li He said impatiently, "I don't need to say it a hundred times, do I? That's something I need to think about. Chairman Fu, you don't need to worry about it. Your main task now is to take care of the child.
Also, since you are going to Singapore, I have a lot of friends there. You don't have to restrict yourself and your child. Call me if you need anything. "
"Thank you." She could still feel Li He's care, and her heart warmed.
"Hey, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have made a move last time. I apologize to you." Li He couldn't bear to scold her anymore.
"It's okay. You're a man. A man should act like a man." Fu Xia smiled. "I think it's quite manly."
"Don't talk nonsense." Li He couldn't help but laugh. "I will visit you and your mother in Singapore when I have the chance. Take good care of yourselves. I have already transferred the money to your DBS Bank account in Singapore. When you arrive at the airport, the person who will meet you will give you the card. The password is Fu Yao's birthday number."
"It's good that you still remember." Fu Xia felt gratified.
"How can I not remember my son's?" Li He rubbed Fu Yao's little head, unwilling to let go. "Xiao Yao, don't you think so, my good son?"
He remembered every one of his children's birthdays clearly. This was a father's instinct.
"Brother."
"Hm?" Li He looked up curiously.
Fu Xia pursed her lips and said, "I want to make a request."
Li He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Say it. As long as it's within my power, I will do it."
"Can I come back often?" Fu Xia asked carefully.
"Of course you can. I'm not exiling you. The reason I let you go out is to change your environment and broaden your mind. I don't want you to continue being stubborn like this. This is good for your child's growth. If you want to come back, I can't stop you. Your parents and brothers are all here. It's normal for you to come back." Li He laughed.
Fu Xia's visa was approved. After she left, she didn't inform anyone, not even Li He. She dragged her suitcase with one hand and held Fu Yao's hand with the other. She left with tears in her eyes.
She liked it here. She loved it here. There were people here that she couldn't bear to part with.
Did she really do something wrong?
She did it for her child. She did everything for her child. This was not only her son, but also his son.
Sitting in the seat of the plane, she couldn't figure it out. If she couldn't figure it out, then she wouldn't think about it anymore. However, she couldn't stop crying. She tried her best to control her sobs, but her tears couldn't stop flowing. She turned her head to the window so that no one could see.
Fu Yao wiped her tears. She hugged him and murmured, "My good son, my good son. I've let you down."
Li He looked up at the blue sky. It was as if he could really see their plane.
"It's good that she's gone."
He didn't think that Fu Xia would leave without a word. She didn't even say goodbye. Maybe she still had some resentment in her heart.
Dong Hao said, "She gave the keys to the house to Chang Jing."
"That's good. She left a house. If she really wants to come back in the future, it'll be a nest and a place to think about." Li He lit a cigarette and let out a long sigh.
Dong Hao said, "The court just finished sentencing this morning. Li Shubai pleaded guilty. Five years. One year for Xiao Gu. "
"What about Da Kui? Get someone to watch over him. Don't say anything. He can't be too comfortable in there. Otherwise, he'll think that he's retiring. "Li He gritted his teeth at the thought of him.
"What do you mean?" Dong Hao was afraid that he would misunderstand.
"Do you think that I want to kill him?" Li He shook his head. "No, keep him. It's good for him to experience life. Besides, it's not our turn to do anything. He's getting on in years. If he catches a cold and isn't treated in time, he might die. It's not certain whether he can hold out for five years. "
Dong Hao continued to ask, "What about Li Jiasheng? Jiang Baojian has already called to ask. "
Li He smiled and said, "His father is suffering inside. How can he, the son, come out and enjoy life? And he's even using my money to enjoy life? That's impossible. Since the father and son share blessings, of course they have to face difficulties together. "
Dong Hao said, "I understand."
Li He said, "Then go and do it."
It felt like everything was clear after the rain. It couldn't be better.
Dong Hao turned around and saw a tall young man standing behind him. He turned back to Li He and said, "Feng Lei is here."
"Go and do what you need to do." Li He waved at Dong Hao and then patted the bench in the park. He said to Feng Lei, "What are you standing there for? Come and do it. You're so unshaven. Do you even care about hygiene?"
Feng Lei stood in front of Li He in a daze. He was nervously twisting his fingers like a little girl. After a long while, he said, "I'm sorry, Brother Li. I've let you down."
"What do you mean by letting you down? It's too fake. You can say that I watched you grow up. I know your character." Li He didn't mind. Feng Lei's nature wouldn't be like that. It was just that between morality and loyalty, he chose loyalty.
Fu Xia had promoted and appreciated him. He chose to be loyal to Fu Xia.
"You can hit me or scold me." Feng Lei looked like he was about to cry. "I'll feel better this way."
Li He said, "Don't be so long-winded. You're going to annoy me. You know that if I really blamed you, you wouldn't be standing here. You're cellmates like Old Man Lee. You can even keep each other company in prison, right? "
"Yes." Feng Lei lowered his head even more.
Li He said helplessly, "If you keep acting like this, just leave."
"Brother, don't chase me away, okay? I really know I was wrong. I'll definitely repent." Feng Lei sobbed. If it wasn't for Li He's glare, he would have knelt down in front of everyone in the park. "Please give me another chance. I'll definitely try my best to repay you."
Li He shook his head. "Feng Lei, I remember that when you came to me, you were still a kid. I liked you a lot. Really, you're a good kid. Don't belittle yourself.
The company has its own rules. If I continue to keep you, what will others think?
Will there be no rules and no law?
Will everyone be able to learn from you in the future?
You actually know that even if I asked you to come back, what can you do?
You're still a traitor in everyone's eyes. You won't be happy with anyone. You might even be bullied. Can you be happy?
So, whether it's from your point of view or mine, you can't work with me anymore.
You're a smart person and you've earned quite a lot over the years. You have a bright future ahead of you. You should work on your own. It won't be any worse than working with me. I have high hopes for you. "
"Thank you." Feng Lei was not the kind of person who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. What Li He did was already very protective of him. Otherwise, he would be in the police station right now. His mother would be crying her eyes out, and no one would be taking care of his wife and son.
He could clearly feel that Li He was distant on the surface. He understood all of this. He couldn't go back. He couldn't go back to the past. This incident had already left a shadow in both of their hearts.
If it was the old relationship, and he wanted to work on his own, Li He would definitely tell him to help if he had any difficulties in the future. But now, there were no heartwarming words. It was all empty words.
"Alright, just do your own thing in the future. You're so familiar with the leather industry. You'll definitely be able to make a name for yourself. You can still eat pigs without Butcher Zhang. I have high hopes for you. "Li He smiled. His attitude was firm. He wouldn't use Feng Lei anymore.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Feng Lei bowed deeply to Li He and wiped his tears. He looked back every three steps, hoping that Li He would call him back.
But he was destined to be disappointed. Li He only smiled and waved goodbye to him.
Chang Jing had been kept in the dark. Her son suddenly came home and said that he wanted to work on his own. He wouldn't work for Li He anymore. She was shocked.
"Your Aunt Xia has left. She's already made money. Of course, she has the ability to go out and have fun. You're just following her, and you want to quit? That won't do. How can you go back and work on your own? You're not cut out for this. "
"Mom, I'm not quitting. Brother Li supported me to go out and work on my own. He said that I've grown up and I need to go out and see the world. I can't rely on others for my whole life. That's embarrassing." Feng Lei smiled reluctantly. "I know if I'm cut out for business. Just wait and see. "
"Yeah, you can't rely on others." Chang Jing sighed and didn't care anymore.
She was still worried, so she went straight to the Li family.
The early winter sun was warm. Li He sat at the door while Li Lan scratched his back.
Li Lan looked at the soot under his nails. He was unhappy, but he had no choice but to submit to his father's tyranny.
Chang Jing came over and smiled. "Little Lan, you've grown up so fast this season. I didn't even notice."
"Yeah." Li He put down his clothes and said to Li Lan, "Go and see what your sister is doing. Don't cause trouble again."
Looking at his son's running figure, he felt very gratified. This child had grown taller. Originally, as a student who skipped a grade, he was the shortest in the class. However, after a year of growth, he was no longer the shortest. After all, there were little girls at the bottom. Boys grew up earlier than little girls.
"Erhe, did Feng Lei do something wrong?" Chang Jing asked embarrassedly.
Li He smiled and said, "No, this child is good. Don't worry too much. What I mean is that Fu Xia is gone and he's lonely there. He can't count on his father-in-law or brother-in-law, so he might as well come back. "
"Sigh, I was just asking," Chang Jing said. "Even if he's not with you anymore, if he does something wrong in the future, you still have to point him out. Scold him when you need to, no need to be polite."
"Definitely." Li He replied. "Don't worry."
Chang Jing said, "I'll go take a look. I heard that your old lady is back."
The old lady was hugging Li Yi at the moment, chatting with the neighbors under the big locust tree.
Old Lady He had a dream in the middle of the night. She said that her man told her in her dream that there was a leak in their house. She had a lot on her mind and couldn't sleep well the whole night. The next day, she had to rush back to her hometown.
He Fang and his brother both said that she was superstitious, but they couldn't win against the old lady. In the end, He Long had no choice but to accompany her back to her hometown. Finally, they returned before it snowed in the northeast.
"You guys don't know. When he told me in my dream, I was still in a daze. Our houses in the city are tube-shaped, and there are people living upstairs. How could there be a leak?
If we were talking about houses in the countryside, our old houses in the countryside are long gone. There's only a shack for work. How can that be considered a house?
But I still have to go back, or else I won't feel at ease.
When I got home, there was no water in the tube-shaped building other than dust.
I was still thinking that the old man couldn't be talking nonsense, right?
My son even teased me, saying that I'm superstitious.
One of my relatives reminded me that you went to your family's grave to take a look. " As the old lady said that, she didn't forget to peel candy for Li Yi. "That's right. When I went to take a look, it was true! My family's grave is next to someone else's rice field. That family is so stingy. In order to get more soil, they used a shovel to cut the field to my old man's grave. The water went in. Look, I'm so noisy with them! It's so infuriating!
