"You've got guts. You even dare to tease your father …" Li He smiled and rubbed her head. "Believe it or not, I'll really skin you."
"You've messed up my hair." Li Yi quickly tidied up her hair and caught up to her mother, walking side by side with her.
"Sigh." Li He looked at the two of them and sighed. "I thought you'd be about the same height as your mother. You're not getting any results even when you eat every day."
"The importance of heredity …" She stuck her tongue out at Li He.
"Our daughter isn't short." He Fang pulled her daughter and made her stand in front of her. She gestured and said, "She's about the same height as me. She's up to my eyebrows."
"I'm already 1.7 meters! I can still grow longer! "Li Yi said to her father." Hmph! I'm wearing flats and high heels. Let's compete? "
"Why don't you walk on stilts?" Li He stopped at a luxury store. "Why don't you two go in and take a look?"
"I'll go in and pick out some nice clothes for you." He Fang looked at her daughter.
Li Yi said, "I'm a natural beauty. I don't need these green leaves to set off my beauty. It's a waste of time."
Seeing that there was a digital store across the street, he didn't even say hello and ran over alone.
Li He wanted to follow but was stopped by He Fang.
"Look who that is."
He Fang pointed at a young man who walked out of the pizza shop with a bag of takeout.
"That's Fu Yao?" Even though the man was wearing a red hat and a pizza shop uniform, Li He still recognized him at a glance.
"Not who he is." He Fang watched him put the bag into the box on the back of the bicycle and said, "He came back with his mother the year before last. I've seen him. The young man hasn't changed much. I remember he's studying in America. It seems like he's working part-time. The kid is quite capable.
Do you want to go over and say hello? Otherwise, he'll be leaving. "
Fu Yao's foot was already on the pedal.
"I'll go take a look." Li He couldn't help but talk to his son.
"Then I'll go accompany my daughter." He Fang turned around and walked towards Li Yi.
"Fu Yao."
Li He shouted as he ran.
Fu Yao had already ridden for about ten meters. This was a bustling street, and there were many people and cars, so he could not ride fast. When he suddenly heard someone calling him, he thought he was hallucinating, but when the voice became clearer, he turned around.
"Uncle Li He." He didn't expect to meet Li He here. "You're in New York too?"
"I almost thought I mistook you for someone else. What are you doing?" Li He was out of breath after running so fast.
He recalled the time when running ten thousand meters was like a game to him.
"Uncle …" Fu Yao took off his hat and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm delivering takeout."
"Your mother doesn't give you enough living expenses?" Looking at his sweaty face, Li He felt distressed.
"Uncle, let's talk on the side. We're blocking the road." He moved the bicycle to the side and stood in front of Li He. "My mother gives me a lot of living expenses, but …"
"You have a girlfriend?"
Fu Xia and Zhao Di had completely different attitudes towards children. Fu Xia doted on the child and basically gave him whatever he wanted, so Fu Yao would never be short of money. If he didn't have enough to spend, it might be because he wasn't the only one spending it.
"No, no." Fu Yao hurriedly waved his hand. "I want to be independent as soon as possible. I can't spend my mother's money anymore. It's hard on her."
"Then you must have quarreled with your mother." Li He saw through it immediately. "You're an adult now, so you should know better. Don't be angry with your mother."
Fu Yao explained, "I'm an adult now, so I think … I should stick to my own ideas."
"Should I introduce you to a new job?"
Li He was glad that he had insisted on Fu Xia sending him to a Chinese school. Although his Chinese wasn't very good and was a little clumsy, he had no problem expressing himself.
"No, thank you, Uncle." Fu Yao looked at his watch and patted the box on the back seat. "I have to go first. I'm in a hurry to deliver it, or the client will complain."
Li He said, "Go then. I'll go to your school tonight and treat you to dinner."
"Okay, Uncle."
Fu Yao hurriedly got on the bike. When he rode past a traffic light, he remembered that he hadn't told Li He where he was and where he was staying. At least he should have given him his contact number!
When he turned around, Li He was already gone.
He wanted to turn around and tell him, but he couldn't find him.
.....
Li Yi came out of the electronics store with a big bag.
Li He asked, "What did you buy?"
"Earphones." Li Yi waved the bag in front of Li He's eyes.
He Fang smiled and said, "I've never thought that an earphone could sell for more than sixty thousand. It's really different professions."
Li Yi asked, "Feeling sorry for you?"
She didn't want to buy it at first, but when her mother saw that she couldn't bear to put it down after playing with it for more than ten minutes, she went straight to pay for it. Li Yi didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
"Your father has never been short of money." Li He said in a powerful and resonant voice, "Daughter, let go of your flower. You're a bold flower. Your mother said that your car is too old. She's going to buy you a new one. What kind do you want?
"…" She felt that her father was hopeless. "It's okay. My car is pretty good. It can still be driven."
She was driving a Nissan that her brother gave her when he came to America. She wanted to buy a Benz, but she stopped it because it was too expensive and she couldn't afford it.
She loved this car and it was as good as new. She couldn't bear to change it.
Ivanov drove over personally and the family of three got into the car.
Li He asked, "Where do you want to go tomorrow? I'll bring you around. "
"No, I don't have time." Li Yi shook her head. "I've missed a week of classes. Tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back to school no matter what. I'm afraid I can't keep up. I was supposed to hand in a paper this week, but I didn't. I have to make up for it when I get back."
"Then focus on your studies." He Fang had no reason to object to his daughter's desire to improve.
"Uncle Ivanov, can you send me back to school now?" Li Yi wanted to go back to the dormitory and rest for the night. Classes would start the next day. Ivanov's manor was quite a distance away from school. She didn't want to go back and forth.
"What school? I've said before. I'll stay here with you for a period of time." He Fang bought a house near Li Yi's school for her to go to school. However, Li Yi had her own views. She felt that a dormitory environment was the fastest way for her to integrate into American society. She could also practice her spoken English quickly.
Therefore, the house was still empty. He Fang wanted to tidy it up before moving in.
"Mom, there's really no need. I have a lot of work to do every day. If you're here, I'll be distracted." Li Yi would rather have her father stay here to accompany her.
Her mother's temper was terrible!
It was only this period of novelty. After this period, she would definitely find him an eyesore and pick on him!
After all, distance was the source of beauty!
"What? We haven't even done anything and you're already bothering me?" He Fang raised her eyebrows unhappily.
"No …" Li Yi hugged her mother's shoulder and said, "I'm thinking for you. Although our comrade Li is old and ugly, there's no guarantee … I don't want to have a stepmother …"
He Fang laughed.
"How can you mock me like that!" Li He hit her on the head angrily. "Speak properly."
"Alright, our comrade Li is young and rich …"
Before Li Yi could finish, He Fang pinched her again.
"You're getting more and more ridiculous." He Fang sighed. "Don't think I don't know. If you think we're nagging, we'll leave."
"Mom, I'm not. I can't wait to like you." Li Yi laid in her mother's arms and lifted her chin. "Come on, smile."
"Go away." He Fang turned her head and giggled. "You're like a hooligan."
After sending her daughter to the school gate, she said goodbye reluctantly. After getting into the car, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
"If you want to see your daughter, you can come once a week." Li He comforted her. "Alright, don't cry."
At night.
Li He went to Fu Yao's school. The school wasn't far from Ivanov's manor, but it still took more than an hour to drive.
When he arrived at the school gate, he drove the driver and the bodyguards far away and walked slowly to the dormitory alone.
"Uncle?" Fu Yao opened the door and was shocked to see Li He. "How did you find me? I forgot to tell you the address. I'm so sorry. "
"Your uncle is good at finding someone." Li He waved his hand and didn't enter the dormitory. "Clean up, I'll treat you to dinner."
Among his children, Li Yi was the one he worried about the most. So, there were people watching her in the dark, but the child didn't know it.
Although he didn't care much about Fu Yao, he would often ask about the specific situation.
For example, when Fu Yao applied to an American university, he was worried that his child wouldn't pass, so he prepared to do some private work. To his surprise, Fu Yao was accepted by an American university with his own ability.
However, Li He wasn't satisfied with the school. It was an unknown Yeshiva University. Most importantly, he had never heard of it! It might be a diploma mill!
He immediately told Fu Xia that he wanted to change his son's school. Since he wanted to study business, it should be either Harvard or Wharton. At least, it should be Columbia University!
However, he didn't expect Fu Yao to insist on going to this school. He had no choice!
"I'll change my shoes." Seeing Li He nod, Fu Yao hurried into the house and came out quickly.
"Tie your shoelaces. There's no rush." Li He pointed at his shoes. Then, they went down to the underground parking lot and got into Fu Yao's old second-hand car.
After leaving the school, Fu Yao asked while driving, "Uncle, what do you like to eat?"
He was determined to treat him to dinner.
"I'm not picky. As long as it's quiet, don't be too noisy." At this time, Li He just wanted to talk more with his son.
"There's a restaurant here that makes good Hakka food."
"Let's go eat then."
