Four was about to reply to the boy, but she happened to see the gloomy face out of the corner of her eye. She hurriedly got out of the backseat.
She got out of the backseat too quickly, and the bike almost lost its balance. Fortunately, the boy was nimble and managed to stabilize himself. The boy wanted to turn around and ask Four what was wrong, only to find that Four had already run in front of him and was standing in front of another man. She was like a little white rabbit, with her head lowered and not saying a word.
He could feel her panic.
Li He stared at the boy. He was taller than him, and he hated people who were taller than him. His face was fair and clean, and he wore glasses on his high nose bridge. He looked gentle, and his looks were not bad.
The boy felt uncomfortable being stared at like that, so he braced himself and pushed his bike forward.
Four saw him and introduced him to Li He in a low voice, "Brother, this is my classmate. He's also in Singapore and has helped me a lot."
"Hello, Brother. My name is Liu Baiwei. I'm from Hong Kong and I'm majoring in architecture." The boy extended his hand to Li He heartily and said humbly, "We're all classmates. It's only right for us to help each other."
"Hello." Li He shook his hand politely and said to Four, "Come, let's go home."
Four looked back at Liu Baiwei, then waved at him and followed Li He home helplessly.
When she got home, she was on tenterhooks, waiting for her brother to ask her questions. However, her brother only sat on the sofa and read seriously. He didn't even look at her, which made her feel even more uneasy.
She sat quietly on the sofa. She didn't want to go upstairs or watch TV. The children came to play with her, but she didn't have the mood to care.
"You're finished. Sister can't help you!" Five leaned close to Four's ear and secretly gloated. She already knew something was wrong. "My condolences!"
"Go play somewhere else." Four suddenly lost patience with Five. If it was any other time, she would at most smile.
"Let's go, Aunty will take you out to play." Five was not angry, and happily dragged Li Pei and the others out to play.
Four curled up on the sofa, looking up at his brother from time to time, and then looking at the time from time to time.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, don't you have anything to ask?"
"No." Li He flipped to the next page of the newspaper. The newspaper was flipped noisily as if he was really reading it seriously.
"Brother, I am really his classmate, and he is a local. He said he is familiar with Hong Kong and can bring me around. I will just follow him for a few days." Four's ears hurt from the sound of the newspaper being flipped. He felt as if something sharp was drilling into his ears.
"You've already grown up. Whatever you do is your right and freedom." Li He said this against his will. It was like going to a bank to do business. There would always be a clause like "I have read and agreed to the user agreement carefully". No matter how much he thought about it, he would still have to sign and tick it, unless he really did not want to do it anymore.
Four was already at this age, and it was useless for him to stop her. In the end, she still had to walk her own path.
Her brother's words entered her mind, but she still had to use a lot of effort to understand what he meant. She seemed to have made a decision before saying, "I know what to do."
"Let's eat, let's eat." Wang Yulan came in with a big plate of braised pork, not noticing that something was wrong with her daughter. She had learned to follow the auntie to the market to buy groceries. She didn't understand Cantonese, but no matter what, she had to pinch the vegetables, chicken, duck, and fish to feel at ease.
She was still a little worried about the huge food expenses at home. Every day, they bought groceries for five to six hundred, or even a thousand!
From the auntie to the female security guard to the chauffeur, which one of them didn't cost money? She didn't understand why her son needed so many idlers!
Moreover, she felt that the auntie was a hindrance!
There wasn't much to do in the kitchen. How could she not be able to handle it alone!
After dinner, she finally couldn't help but follow her son upstairs to discuss. She had to reassure her son that the old couple could take care of the child.
"The expenses are like a waterfall. No matter how much money we have, we can't afford to squander like this!" She was even more worried.
"Mom, doing business is all about face and extravagance. If it's so sour, who would feel at ease doing business with your son? They might even think that your son is incapable. "Li He could only comfort her this way. Li He took some money from the safe and stuffed it into his mother's hands. "See, how can your son be short of money?"
He didn't let his mother take care of the household's labor expenses. With his mother's petty character, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause? Currently, the auntie and the chauffeur's salary were all going through Yuan Da Group's account, and it had always been good.
"Sigh, as long as you have a plan." Wang Yulan felt that it made sense, so she didn't pursue the matter further. However, she didn't take the money. "There's more. We'll talk about it after spending it."
She still hadn't found a place to hide the money. Although the house was big, there were many idlers. In terms of money, no one was worthy of her trust.
Early in the morning, the children were all woken up by Wang Yulan. It was the first day of school.
Li He also woke up early. He decided to send them off personally.
The phone rang. Before he could pick it up, Four hurriedly picked it up.
"I-I have something to do today. I won't be going. I hope you guys have fun. Sorry." Four whispered while looking at his brother from time to time. "Bye-bye."
After hanging up, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
Li He pretended he didn't hear anything. As usual, he read the newspaper before breakfast.
The children were all wearing brand new clothes. Their school bags and stationery were all brand new. When eating, they were afraid of dirtying their clothes, so they were more well-behaved than before.
"Are you done?" Li He got up and looked at the time. It was time to set off. They had been busy for an hour.
"Yes, yes." Li Ke was the first to react.
She climbed into the car door that the driver had already opened. The chassis of the car was high, but she was still able to climb up quickly.
Li Pei and Yang Huai, on the other hand, had a conflict. Neither of them was willing to sit in the middle. If they sat on the side, they could see outside. If they sat in the middle, they couldn't see anything.
Li Ke had already taken the right door. The left door was left. Li Pei and Yang Huai didn't want to give way to each other, so they pushed and shoved at the door.
Four pulled the two children apart. "Rock, paper, scissors. Whoever loses will sit in the middle."
The two children had no objections. One, two, three. They used all their strength and quickly stretched out their chubby little hands.
"Yang Huai wins!" Four acted as the referee and quickly announced the result. "Li Pei, get in the car first."
Li Pei pouted and squeezed to the middle angrily.
Huang Bingxin drove in front. They still needed him to lead the way to school.
Li He drove a car behind them, and the three kids and Ding Shiping sat in the back.
Not far from the gate, Ding Shiping suddenly reminded Li He, "Look! “
"Don't worry." Li He saw the boy called Liu Baiwei from yesterday again. He was standing under the shade of a tree, next to him was a motorcycle. On the motorcycle's handle, there was a helmet.
After arriving at school, accompanied by Huang Bingxin, he only left after he saw the three children sitting in the classroom.
The three children were in three different classes, and they were all sitting alone. Looking at the people around them chattering non-stop, they all felt a little lonely.
Li He felt bad for them.
