After the call, the electrician turned around and was about to talk to Bailu about the price again, when he noticed Li Weixi out of the corner of his eye.
"You are …" He became excited. "Are you the young mistress?"
Although it was a question, his tone was full of certainty.
"That's great. I didn't expect to see you again."
Master quickly walked over to Li Weixi and carefully examined her face. His eyes faintly revealed a gratified expression. "It seems that you're doing well. This way, the few of us can be at ease."
Li Weixi's memories were instantly awakened. There was surprise and nostalgia in her eyes. "You're Uncle Chen?"
"That's me, that's me. I didn't expect you to remember me, young mistress."
Uncle Chen seemed very happy. His hand that was holding the phone was trembling. He used to be a gardener in the Li family's villa. Later, when Li Weixi dismissed the family, he left with the others. At that time, many of those people had been taken care of by Li Weixi and Li Shangde. They were reluctant to part with that family, and had made a promise to each other that they would all come back when Li Shangde recovered.
In order to support the family, Uncle Chen went to look for a job, but it didn't work out. In the end, he simply became an electrician with his brother. He didn't expect to see Li Weixi here.
When he saw Li Weixi, he was reminded of the time when he was in the Li family. He choked up for a moment.
Li Weixi was naturally very emotional when she saw the people in the family. Recalling how Uncle Chen had repeatedly raised the price to Bailu, she knew that he wasn't doing well.
Uncle Chen rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. It's rare to see you, young mistress. I should've treated you to a meal, but I'm busy. Look …"
"It's fine. I'll invite you out when I'm free." Li Weixi couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Uncle Chen's current appearance. She felt very uncomfortable when she thought that other people might be having a hard time like him.
"You know each other?" Bai Lu suddenly interjected. "But even if I do, I can't give you a raise. We've already made a deal. However, I'll let you know if anything happens in the shops around here."
"Okay, okay, thank you." Uncle Chen nodded quickly and said. He was too embarrassed to mention the extra money at this time.
He smiled awkwardly at Li Weixi and went back to work under the counter.
Li Weixi looked at him busily working and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Lin Jiu patted her back and shook his head at her.
Li Weixi understood what she meant. She did not want her to do anything unnecessary.
After working for a while, Uncle Chen said to Bai Lu, "We'll have to wait for them to come."
"Alright, you can rest first."
"Alright."
Uncle Chen wiped his sweat and sat on the table at the side. He smiled at Li Weixi and took out a towel to wipe his sweat.
Seeing that Li Weixi's eyes were fixed on Uncle Chen, Lin Jiu whispered to her, "Don't keep looking at him like that. He'll feel even more uneasy. Be more natural."
Li Weixi nodded and stopped looking at him. She turned to listen to Bai Lu and Lin Jiu talk.
However, Uncle Chen suddenly asked, "By the way, Miss, did you go back after that?"
Li Weixi didn't expect him to suddenly answer her. After a brief daze, she replied, "No. Did something happen?"
"It's not a big deal." Uncle Chen scratched his head, as if hesitating whether to tell her or not. In the end, he said hesitantly, "Actually, I'm not very sure, but I'm afraid that Xu Shaohua will do something bad to you. So, I want to tell you."
"The day before we left, Mother Wu saw Xu Shaohua hiding something in her room. She also heard her mumbling that nobody would come looking for her here."
Hiding something?
For some reason, Li Weixi suddenly remembered what Lin Yi had been investigating. She asked hurriedly, "Do you know what she hid?"
"No." Uncle Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure if it's still there."
"Then do you know where she hid it?"
"No. Mother Wu was afraid that she would see it, so she stopped looking."
Xu Shaohua was a tyrant at home. No one in the family was not afraid of her. Li Weixi also understood Mother Wu's thoughts.
Seeing that she wasn't talking, Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment before he continued, "Miss, do you want to go back and take a look? If it's something important, it's better for you to have it than for her. "
"You're right." Li Weixi nodded. Even if he hadn't said anything, she would have asked Lin Yi to go and take a look. "Thank you for telling me, Uncle Chen."
"That's fine. As long as I can help you." Uncle Chen smiled shyly.
Seeing that Li Weixi had been uncomfortable, Lin Jiu took the opportunity to say, "Then let's go and look for it now. We don't have anything to do anyway. Bailu's meal can wait until next time."
"Then you can go. I can take a day off." Bailu smiled casually and was about to see them out. Naturally, she could see that Li Weixi and Uncle Chen were uncomfortable, so she didn't make things difficult for Li Weixi.
Li Weixi smiled at Bailu's kindness. She said goodbye to Uncle Chen and left the store.
She left the mall with Lin Jiu and got into the car. She couldn't help but look back. When she thought of Uncle Chen, she was still worried.
Lin Jiu waved his hand in front of her eyes to pull her back from her thoughts. "Don't think about it. Let's talk about it later. Didn't Uncle Chen say that he would go back after your father woke up?"
"Yes." Li Weixi looked away and sighed softly. She wasn't sad. She just missed the old days and sighed at Uncle Chen's current situation.
Suppressing her thoughts, Li Weixi watched the car start. It didn't seem like they were going home. She asked in surprise, "Are you really going to the Li family's house?"
"Yes." Lin Jiu was even more surprised than she was. "Didn't I say that I was going? Do you think I was just saying? "
"Just the two of us?"
"No, I sent a message to my brother."
"I see."
Seeing that Li Weixi was obviously relieved, Lin Jiu teased her. "What? You're not scared with my brother around? Can't I be with you?"
"No." Li Weixi turned her head away. Her ears were slightly red.
She realized that she was becoming more and more dependent on Lin Yi.
