The moment the call went through, she hurriedly put the phone away from her ear to avoid the scolding.
While her mother was panting, she hung up the phone and looked at her father. She sighed and said, "Mom wants you to go home for dinner."
Her face was full of disappointment.
Li He couldn't take it anymore but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "I can't let her be happy. Men should drink the strongest alcohol. Boss, give me two bottles of Erguotou."
Li Yi pursed her lips. She knew that her father was just shouting but in reality, he cherished his life. She waved at the boss and said, "You don't have to pay taxes for bragging. I'll order some fish soup without seasoning and some rice. That's the safest way."
Li He said, "That's your mother being unreasonable. What can't I eat? What can't I drink? If you want to talk about consequences, I could have lived to eighty. It doesn't matter if I lose a few years of my life by eating and drinking. "
Li Yi ignored her father. She went to talk to the boss of the restaurant and sat down again. When a plate of Dongpo pork knuckle was served, she put on her gloves and ate with her head lowered. She even purposely made noises.
Occasionally, she would look up at her father.
Li He hugged his teacup, looking very calm and unaffected.
The second plate was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Li He picked up a piece of tomato and smashed it with his chopsticks. He didn't move a second time.
Li Yi said, "I told the boss to use olive oil. What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?"
Li He said, "It smells like saliva. It's different from what your mother made."
Li Yi didn't believe him. She picked up a piece with her chopsticks and tasted it for a long time. She sighed and said, "No wonder my mother said you're picky. I can't taste anything bad."
Li He said, "Eat it then."
Li Yi didn't hesitate to bring the plate to him and ate by herself.
After a while, she suddenly asked, "You really don't want to eat anything? Why don't you try this vegetable?"
Li He said, "You're not picky at all. That's good. You eat, I'm not hungry."
Seeing that his daughter was done with her meal, Li Yi wanted to ask him to foot the bill, but when she saw Song Gu walk in, she didn't say anything. Naturally, she wasn't afraid that Song Gu wouldn't pay.
While she was in a daze, her father had already crossed the road and got on the pedestrian bridge. Then, she couldn't see him anymore.
She didn't want to go to her father's company, so she had no choice but to find her own car and drive home first. In short, her father's anger was a little baffling.
However, she knew her father's character too well. He was narrow-minded and couldn't distinguish between people. She didn't care too much and went shopping with a classmate.
Li He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing Wang Ziwen. After saying a few words to Wang Ziwen, he prepared to go home. As soon as he went downstairs, he met He Fang, who was standing at the elevator.
"Why are you here?"
He was very curious.
He Fang rarely came to the company.
He Fang asked, "Is there anything else?"
Li He said, "I just kill time every day. What else could there be? Come on, let's go home."
After getting into the car, he saw that He Fang's expression wasn't right. He smiled and asked, "What's going on? Who provoked you?"
He Fang said, "Old Liu's wife just called me. She asked me how the two kids are getting along. She meant that if it doesn't work out, she should reintroduce her to Liu Bai."
Li He heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "I thought it was something big. If it doesn't work out, then forget it. I saw the two kids and they don't have any feelings for each other. Don't take it to heart. I'll call Liu Bo later. Don't mention this again in the future."
He Fang said, "I just feel that it's a pity. That girl is really not bad. Sigh, your son is so disappointing! He didn't even try to fight for such a good girl! "
"That's not fighting. That's called being cold-shouldered. No matter how incompetent the Li Family is, it's not to the point of begging others. If it works out, then it's fine. If it doesn't work out, then don't talk about it anymore. It's meaningless." Li He couldn't understand his wife's thoughts. Deep down, he refused to be related to the Liu Family. It had always been that way.
He Fang said, "I just feel that it's a pity. I made a reservation for that girl when she was young. Now that there's no result, I'm just a little unhappy. However, I'm not worried. You know, there are a lot of people who want to be matchmakers for our son. Usually, I don't want to go to banquets or cocktail parties. But for our son, I have to bite the bullet and go. You know, there are quite a few suitable candidates. Whether it's their temperament, knowledge, or looks, they're all top-notch. "
Li He said, "I'm begging you. Don't just agree to anything. Just attend a ball in Paris and you think you're a socialite. We're not worthy of that."
He Fang said, "Wang Hui has already introduced people?"
Li He said, "What's she involved in?"
He Fang smiled and said, "Guess whose family she's introducing?"
Li He asked, "Do we know each other?"
He Fang said, "Not only do we know each other, we're classmates."
"Whose family?" Li He was curious.
"Zhou Qing's daughter."
"What?" Li He shook his head. "That girl doesn't look tacky at all. She's very bright. It's not like I haven't seen her before. How old is she?"
He Fang said, "Not much younger than your son."
Li He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It can't be Zhou Qing's idea, right?"
He Fang said, "Even if you don't want to get close to her, why would she want to be in-laws with you? It's Wang Hui's idea. She dotes on your son quite a bit, so she wants to introduce him to someone good. "
Li He said, "Let's not talk about it for now. He's in Pujiang now. We don't know if he has someone in mind yet. When he comes back, ask him properly. Otherwise, if the child isn't satisfied, it'll be the same as Liu Bo's family. It won't look good."
He Fang said, "I'm not stupid. I don't need you to tell me this. Sigh, time flies. Our daughter is already so big."
Li He turned to look at her and said unhappily, "How old is she? Don't tell me you're worried about her too? "
He Fang said, "I only have one daughter. What's there to be worried about? Let's take our time and pick."
"Great minds think alike." Li He heaved a sigh of relief.
Halfway there, he received a call from Pinsong. After exchanging a few sentences, he hung up and said to He Fang, "You go home first. I'm going out to discuss something."
"Alright. Remember, don't eat anything you want," He Fang reminded him again.
Li He said, "Don't worry."
He Fang stopped the car halfway. He got out of the car and got into Song Gu's car behind him.
He said to Song Gu, "Go to Ping Hu's teahouse up ahead."
When they reached the teahouse and got out of the car, Pinsong hurried over to welcome them.
Li He said unhappily, "You're such a big boss and you're still so immature?"
Pinsong smiled embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "Xiong Liwen is back in the country?"
"Who's Xiong Liwen?" Li He asked in surprise.
"Xiong Haizhou's son."
Li He's heart skipped a beat.
