Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 1211 - 529: Li Shiqiโs Family
Chapter 1211 -529: Li Shiqiโs Family
After breakfast, a few of them went to Li Shiqiโs house to pick up luggage. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐ถ
Li Shiqiโs stepfather had some issues with his left leg, and he didnโt look very good either. Fortunately, the family conditions were decent. He inherited several street-facing houses from his parents, and later opened a Mahjong hall, so he had some assets.
As for Li Shiqiโs mother, she looked quite presentable. But those times were different from now, ten years ago, a woman with a burden, no matter how beautiful she was, dating was possible, but not many men wanted to marry her.
So she eventually married Li Quezi, a twice-married woman with kids, originally seeking a provider, and Li Quezi wasnโt a fool either. Living and eating at home, one had to work.
From the beginning, Li Quezi frequently hinted at Li Shiqi with veiled criticisms, implying that girls are just a loss, canโt make money, so why study, might as well find someone to marry early.
At this point, Li Shiqiโs mother would always endure silently and privately tell Li Shiqi to bear it.
โYour fatherโs personality is like this, bear with it, and itโll pass.โ
Actually, in her heart, Li Shiqi never considered that man her father; she never called Li Quezi father.
From Li Queziโs perspective, he wasnโt wrong. Providing good food and clothing, yet never hearing a word of โfatherโ, and he wasnโt someone with a great outlook, so heโd naturally grumble with veiled complaints. Because of this, the relationship between both sides grew more distant.
The New Year was approaching, and the Mahjong hallโs business was exceptionally booming.
Li Shiqiโs mother was bustling around.
While Li Quezi accompanied customers playing Mahjong, a customer said at this moment: โHey, Old Li, whereโs your daughter? Sheโs been on winter break for quite some days, why havenโt we seen her?โ
Li Quezi replied: โWho knows where sheโs gone! They say girls are a loss, and thatโs exactly true. Ever since she went to university, I barely see her. Nicely providing food and clothes, but in the end, nothing!โ
Thinking of this, Li Quezi was slightly upset.
Everyone chuckled upon hearing this, saying, wasnโt she busy studying?
โWho doesnโt know your daughterโs grades are good, sheโs at Jinling University!โ
โHmph!โ
Li Quezi dismissed, as he played cards, saying, what use is good grades.
โItโs not benefiting me any.โ
As they were talking, a black Mercedes G-Class quietly parked at the storefront entrance.
His Mahjong hall was one of the street side houses in an urban village, later converted to a shop, so there wasnโt any planning to speak of. The Mahjong hall was a mix of various people, the outside full of casually parked cars.
So when the Mercedes G-Class parked, someone noticed its pricey presence.
But most people were too engrossed in their Mahjong, paying no attention.
Zhou Yuwen asked Li Shiqi: โWant me to go down with you?โ
โNo need, just wait for me in the car.โ
Zhou Yuwen thought of getting Liu Shuo to help Li Shiqi carry some stuff, but Li Shiqi said thereโs nothing to take. She never felt attached to this family; old clothes, if unnecessary, sheโd leave behind. Mainly diaries, and a few things of sentimental value kept at home sheโd retrieve; she didnโt want Zhou Yuwen to see her fractured home.
So despite Zhou Yuwen mentioning it several times, Li Shiqi was firm about not letting Zhou Yuwen come down.
Zhou Yuwen seeing this, didnโt insist further, and said alright then.
Thus the car door opened, and Li Shiqi stepped out.
The noticeable Mercedes G-Class had already attracted a lot of attention, and now they saw a woman wearing a turtleneck and windbreaker step out, which made everyone pause.
Two people smoking in the corner, one quickly nudged the other.
Signaling him to look quickly.
Itโs said a girl changes a lot at eighteen, and itโs really true. Though Li Shiqi had only left home for a year, the change was profound.
Especially now, wearing black high heels, she seemed like a successful woman returned from the big city. Hands tucked in her windbreaker, she stood coolly at the Mahjong hall entrance for a while.
Then she walked in.
The outstanding aura of Li Shiqi quickly attracted attention, including from Li Quezi playing Mahjong over there; however, at first, Li Quezi didnโt recognize Li Shiqi.
Not only Li Quezi but also Li Shiqiโs mother, busy serving tea to customers, didnโt notice Li Shiqiโs return until a customer remarked, boss lady, youโve got a visitor.
Liโs mother realized, holding a large kettle, hurriedly walked over: โHello, welcome! How many of you?โ
Years of labor had caused Liโs mother to become plump; she resembled an ordinary town woman with short hair, apron tied around her waist.
Compared to Li Shiqi in her heels, Liโs mother was a head shorter, initially smiling. But when she saw the girlโs face clearly, Liโs mother paused.
Then showed delight: โShiqi!โ
โDear! Dear, our daughter is back! Shiqi, youโve become so beautiful!โ
Liโs mother was genuinely thrilled now because she remembered when her daughter left, she was still a high schooler, yet now she looks just like a star on TV!
