After the divorce, I became a rich girl
Chapter 139 Confession
When Li Jiawei heard this, she immediately felt as if she was caught by her parents in a relationship. She was a little embarrassed, but still answered honestly: "Yes, I currently have a boyfriend."
When Li Ronghua heard this answer, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was happy that she had found a new partner, but at the same time he was worried about the problems she might encounter in the future. He asked softly, "Is it that star Xiao Yi?"
Li Jiawei nodded gently: "Yes, it's him."
Li Ronghua had heard this, and the worry on his face became more obvious. He had been working in the business world for so many years, and he knew too well the chaos and temptations in that circle. He couldn't help but sigh: "Ah!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the tea room became extremely subtle, as if even the air had frozen. Li Ronghua said, "He is a star. If you are with him, you will be attacked by many of his fans. Dad is worried that you can't bear it."
Li Jiawei knew what her father was worried about, and she said firmly: "Dad, when I decided to be with him, I was ready to face everything. However, in order to reduce unnecessary disturbances, we decided not to make this relationship public for the time being."
Li Ronghua looked at his daughter's determined eyes. Although he felt reluctant, he also had more understanding and support. He said softly: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, Dad will respect your choice. But Dad still hopes to meet him and get to know what kind of person he is."
Li Jiawei smiled brightly when she heard this: "Of course, he is resting now and has no work arrangements. He is always available. If you want to see him, I can arrange it."
Li Ronghua nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his tone: "Then let's have dinner together tomorrow and let the family meet him."
Li Jiawei happily responded: "Okay!"
During lunch, Li Xuanbao came downstairs slowly with the help of her mother Jing Qiu. Li Xuanbao looked extremely pale and not in a good mental state, which made Li Jiawei worried.
Li Jiawei's eyes unconsciously fell on Li Xuanbao's belly, which was as flat as before. It seemed that the baby was not saved after all.
She couldn't help but think of the child she had lost. She felt mixed emotions, knowing the harm that miscarriage would cause to women physically and mentally, and she felt even more distressed when she saw how weak Li Xuanbao was now.
Jing Qiu carefully helped Li Xuanbao sit down, and then she sat down. It was only then that she noticed Li Jiawei sitting opposite her. She forced a smile and tried to cover up her inner fatigue with a relaxed tone: "Jiawei is here. How have you been recently? Are you okay?"
Li Jiawei looked at the haggard look in her mother's eyes and felt even more sorry for her. She said, "I'm fine."
After that, she turned her gaze to Li Xuanbao again, her concern evident in her words: "Xuanbao, how do you feel?"
Li Xuanbao forced her pale lips and smiled at Li Jiawei, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." There was an unspeakable bitterness hidden in her smile.
Li Jiawei couldn't help but think of her past experiences, and the pain of losing her child seemed to surge back into her heart. She gently held Li Xuanbao's hand and comforted her, "Everything will be fine, Xuanbao."
Li Xuanbao nodded gently, with a barely perceptible choke in her voice: "Well, the doctor said that as long as I rest well, I will recover soon. Maybe this child is really not meant to be with me." Her words were full of regret.
Seeing this, Jing Qiu quickly handed a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup to Li Xuanbao, his eyes full of pity: "Don't think too much, Xuanbao. The most important thing now is to take care of your body, and other things can be done slowly."
Li Xuanbao took the chicken soup and said, "Thank you, Mom. You've worked so hard this time."
"I raised you, why do you need to say thank you to your mother?" Jing Qiu's attention was all on Li Xuanbao. He felt heartbroken when he looked at her.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiawei couldn't say she felt disappointed, because if she was asked who was more important to her, her mother Cheng Ping or her mother Jing Qiu, Li Jiawei would choose her mother Cheng Ping without hesitation.
In this world, men value blood ties the most, while women value family affection the most. So facing Jing Qiu's obvious partiality, Li Jiawei had no difficulty accepting it.
Li Jiawei ate the food in front of her quietly. There was no rule of not talking while eating at the Li family table. Occasionally, her father Li Ronghua would chat with her about family matters, which did not make the meal too awkward.
After dinner, my sister-in-law, Zhong Xinlan, took her son to learn horse riding. Without the children playing, the house became quieter.
Just as Li Jiawei was about to leave, Li Ronghua stopped her. The company's financial report for last year had come out, and her dividend had been calculated. He said, "The lawyer and the financial officer will be here soon. It won't be too late for you to leave after you sign."
When she heard that they were going to share the money, Li Jiawei immediately felt much happier and sat in the living room watching Li Ronghua and Li Yan play chess. Although she did not understand the mysteries of the game, she found it very interesting to see the two of them moving their pieces back and forth and making the sound of their moves.
Seeing that Li Jiawei looked confused in front of the chessboard, Li Yan patiently explained the tricks of the game to her while they were playing chess, analyzing everything from the layout of the chess pieces to the strategic thinking.
With Li Yan's explanation, Li Jiawei gradually gained some understanding of Go and began to distinguish the pros and cons in the game. She found that her father Li Ronghua was not as good as her brother Li Yan in Go, but he always regretted his moves in various "rogue" ways to try to reverse the situation. Li Yan always tolerated him with a good temper, which made Li Jiawei feel that this scene was both warm and interesting.
Li Jiawei could see that her brother Li Yan was playing with his father Li Ronghua seriously. He patiently let Li Ronghua regret his moves, then made careful plans again, and then lost to his father Li Ronghua.
Seeing Li Yan treating his father Li Ronghua like a child, Li Jiawei wanted to laugh. She remembered her grandmother Zhang Qiushuang's evaluation of Li Ronghua, "Your father is lucky. When he was a child, your uncle Hongxing indulged him and spoiled him. After he got married, his wife spoiled him. Now that he is old, Li Yan has a calm personality and also goes along with him. He has never suffered in his life."
After playing four games of chess, when the company's lawyers and financial staff arrived, Li Jiawei saw He Zhizhou walking in front of her. She stood up quickly and said, "Brother Zhizhou, you're here!"
He Zhizhou smiled at Li Jiawei and said, "Well, come and sign the documents."
Then, Li Yan went upstairs and asked his mother Jing Qiu and Li Xuanbao to come down.
He Zhizhou looked up and saw Li Xuanbao slowly coming down the stairs. Seeing her haggard appearance, a flash of heartache flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly restrained his emotions.
