return of the king

Zhou Lixi walked out of the Blueclub, staring at several directions at the intersection in a daze.

The parking boy drove the car out, but he took the key but didn't get in the car and left.Because he didn't know which direction to drive to meet Cao Zuo.

Looking at the ordinary to somewhat old building, Zhou Lixi was surprised that Cao Zuo, who had been waiting here for several nights, would not appear again—the person who would make him feel at ease would never appear on this dark road again. .

At this time, Zhou Lixi desperately wanted to call someone to help him investigate Cao Zuo's affairs, so that he could know Cao Zuo's mobile phone number, where Cao Zuo lived, and where to find Cao Zuo.

But thinking that the result of Jierui's investigation of Cao Zuo is that Cao Zuo will no longer come to BLUECLUB, one can imagine how angry Cao Zuo would be when he found out that he broke his promise to investigate him.

Thinking of the possibility that Cao Zuo was so angry that he didn't want to meet him again, Zhou Lixi could only suppress the impulse in his heart.

He thought that if they were destined, they would meet again.

He thought that he could not see Cao Zuo's endurance for one month, so he gave them a one-month deadline.

If Cao Zuo did not appear in front of him again within a month, he would have someone investigate him.

Zhou Lixi stood at the entrance of BLUECLUB for nearly half an hour. His car was also blocking the road and hindering the entry and exit of others, but neither the parking boy nor the bodyguard stepped forward to disturb him.

Knowing that Zhou Lixi holds a blue card, they would rather spend a little more time and energy to make other cars detour than offend him.

Seeing that Zhou Lixi finally drove away, the parking boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, because they were hesitating whether to tell the boss about it.

Zhou Lixi, who returned to his residence, frowned when he saw that the lights were on in his house.

The maid could not be around at this time, so the only person who could be in his house was that person.

After driving the car into the garage, Zhou Lixi walked to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of rummaging inside.

That person was probably only looking for something, that's why he didn't notice that he was back.

Zhou Lixi deliberately walked lightly, walking behind Ms. Yin Li before speaking.

"Mom, what are you looking for?"

"Scared!" He found out?

Ms. Yin Li, who was startled by the sudden appearance of Zhou Lixi, dared not turn her head.

The maid said that she came immediately after he left, so she just searched for it for a while, how could he come back so soon? !

"You, didn't you go to the appointment?"

That's what the maid said, and she also said that the young master looked very happy, as if he was about to meet his lover.

"I met Jerry just now." He did see Jerry just now, so it's not a lie.

"Yes, is it Jie Rui..." Yin Li said regretfully.

Although the son is only 23 years old, he is still very young.But she was naturally very excited to see her son meet his sweetheart and have grandchildren in his arms earlier.

"Mom, what are you looking for at 'my place'?"

Zhou Lixi asked again, this time deliberately emphasizing the words "my residence".

"That...I dropped an earring last time I came here, I'll come here to see if it fell here, haha~~" Ms. Yin Li laughed.

It was embarrassing to be caught straight.Her stupid son is stupid enough, he should pretend nothing happened!

It's all her fault that she was only worried about Li Xi last night, but didn't think that he might be out on a date, so after staying here for one night, she forgot to check whether there was any trace of other people living here.

"Earrings? You should ask the cleaning maid if she saw them. Do you think your earrings will fall into my closet?" Zhou Lixi looked at the messy closet by Ms. Yin Li and said meaningfully .

It's not that he didn't think about pretending he couldn't see what she did, but because he didn't want her to rummage through his things secretly next time, he had no choice but to ask her repeatedly to make her retreat.

Ms. Yin Li pretended to be enlightened and said: "That's right, it seems impossible to appear here. I'll go and see if there is anything under the bed."

In fact, the first place she came here to look for was under the bed, so she pretended to look under the bed a few times, then stood up and said, "I'd better ask the maid if she saw my earring, maybe it wasn't Instead of falling here, it’s lost somewhere else.”

"..." Zhou Lixi didn't want to expose her lame lies again.

He poured a glass of water and drank it, then leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Very tired today.Tired...

He couldn't see Cao Zuo, and found his mother rummaging for something in his residence.

Ms. Yin Li forced herself to squeeze on the same sofa with Zhou Lixi, and asked, "Son, tell me, why did you go last night and why didn't you answer my call?"

"It's just because of work..."

Before Li Xi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ms. Yin Li, "Don't tell me it's because of work, I've already asked your secretary, and they all said they don't know where you have been, and they don't know what work you have. of?"

"..." Li Xi really felt that his five secretaries were not competent enough.

He suddenly had no news, they should try their best to help him hide it, but they actually told his mother the truth.

In fact, Li Xi knew in his heart that they did this on purpose so that his mother would force him to question him, and then they would have a chance to know what they wanted to gossip about.

Seeing that Zhou Lixi couldn't get away with it, she wanted to pretend she didn't hear her. Yin Li pointed out Zhou Lixi's abnormal behavior one by one, "It's fine if you don't answer my phone call, and then even turned off the phone. Think about it yourself, how old are you?" Didn’t you do such a ‘childish’ thing? And I waited at your place last night and didn’t see you coming back. You didn’t come back all night! Although the secretary-general told me that you had something urgent to deal with, so you weren’t at the company in the morning, But when I asked him what urgent matter you have to deal with, he hesitated, saying that you missed work in the morning. What is the reason for you to do these three 'shocking' things?"

Yin Li transformed from a mother into a refined female boss, and treated Zhou Lixi with the same tone and expression as questioning her subordinates.

"There are more than three, there is one more, that is, why are you wearing jeans today when you only wear suits or sportswear for many years?!"

Hearing such a pressing question, Zhou Lixi still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, with a look of 'I don't tell you what can I do'.

In fact, if he refused to speak up, Ms. Yin Li really couldn't do anything with him.

The son is too old to fight; the son is independent, and she has nothing to threaten...

In desperation, Ms. Yin Li chose the policy of mourning soldiers.

"Woo~~ You didn't answer the phone yesterday, and you turned off the phone and didn't go back to the residence. I waited all night and didn't dare to sleep. I was afraid that something would happen to you. I stayed up all night for every friend and secretary of yours. On the phone, they all said they were not with you, and no one knew where you were at that time, can you understand how anxious I was at that time? I was still thinking, what should I do if something really happened to you?"

Knowing that Ms. Yin Li's cry was fake, Zhou Lixi said calmly, "One more."

This is a "what to do" suggestion to Ms. Yin Li.

"You, wow~~" She was really crying now.

I couldn't get my son's understanding for my worries, and cried for my son's indifference.

Zhou Lixi covered his forehead with a headache, and called Zhou Yingli, "Dad, your wife is crying with me, get her away quickly."

"..." The other side was silent for a while, and then said in a cold but angry tone: "If you make my wife cry, you should comfort her right away."

The only support turned against each other, Zhou Lixi had to rely on himself.

After pulling out a few tissues and handing them to Ms. Yin Li, Zhou Lixi said helplessly, "I made you worry, I'm sorry, I won't do this again in the future."

Next time he will answer her call and say that he is safe before hanging up and turning off the phone!I hope there will be no "special" time again.

"That's it? You haven't said what you did last night!" Ms. Yin Li said with a choked up voice, wiping her tears gracefully.

"..." Zhou Lixi was speechless.

After all, her goal was to find out what happened last night.

"Mom, save your tears and forget what happened last night."

Zhou Lixi asked Yin Li to forget, but she wanted to remember it firmly.

"Wow!" Yin Li, who originally lowered her crying to listen to Li Xi's explanation, cried louder than before.

"I won't 'pursue' what you just rummaged in my place, and I won't tell you who I was with last night. It's a tie."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Lixi walked into the study and locked the door, completely locking out the noise.

What Zhou Lixi didn't know was that after hearing what he said, Ms. Yin Li was so happy that she even forgot to cry.

Not telling her who he was with last night means that he really was with someone last night!Moreover, the two of them spent the whole night alone, so one could imagine what they could do.

Ms. Yin Li wiped away her tears, went to the door and knocked.

She kept knocking, and Zhou Lixi had no choice but to open the door.

"Li Xi, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me who was with you last night, I won't ask, next time you remember to take her home and have a meal with us~"

After speaking, Ms. Yin Li left overjoyed.

"..." Zhou Lixi, who accidentally revealed some kind of information, was too late to regret it.
