deliberately approach you

Half an hour later, Li Zishen, Li William, and Chen Xin were sitting around the round table. The red soup was boiling in the hot pot, exuding a rich aroma.

They talked about shopping malls for a while, and drug research and development for a while. The atmosphere was very good.

"It's no problem to continue like this!"

Li Zishen's eyes flickered and he looked at William Li with a smile: "Well, the market response of Jingwushuang is indeed very good. I hope that 8028's hard work will get the same reward."

Li Zishen has always had high hopes for 8028, which was his father's final request.

Li William nodded, his eyes showing a hint of unwillingness to lag behind: "Just wait to treat me to a big dinner, it won't take long... 8028 will definitely surpass Jing Wushuang, I still don't believe it!"

The words were followed by a hearty laugh.

Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but frown slightly. He thought of the late Lin Ping, the girl who grew up with him, who also refused to admit defeat.

He sighed silently in his heart: Lin Ping, if you stick to your duties and don't harm Miss Tang, how could Brother Shen fire you?You will not die, and you will also share in the results of Jingwushuang.

After drinking a glass of wine, Chen Xin's eyes were slightly red, and he felt unspeakable guilt and heartache.

If he had discovered Lin Ping's anomaly earlier and worked with Bai Long to dissuade him, maybe everything could have been avoided.The three of them were still drinking together in their free time as before.

It's a pity that without if, I can't go back!
Li Zishen picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a puff calmly. The smoke slowly rose around his lips and then gradually dissipated.

He naturally knew what Chen Xin was thinking.

Li Zishen flicked the ashes of his cigarette and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Chen Xin, the past cannot be changed. We can only look forward."

William Lee: "?"

Past events?Are you talking about Lin Ping?
Hey, it is indeed a pity that you are a doctor of medicine at such a young age!

If you are greedy, the snake swallows the elephant!
Chen Xin raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and said slightly tremblingly: "I know, thank you Brother Shen, I just think...it's a pity."

If he hadn't been drunk, according to his character, he would never have behaved like this.

William Li looked at them and added gently: "Chen Xin, we are a team. Past mistakes can only alert us, allowing us to cherish the present more and make the right choice."

"Yes, that's right!" Chen Xin nodded in agreement, and then looked at Li Zishen firmly.

After a brief adjustment, the three of them continued their conversation about the drug launch, and continued to put the ingredients into the hot pot, enjoying the sound of them rolling in the pot and the alluring aroma.

"We have to increase our marketing efforts to let more people understand and trust our brand, especially 8028, which must be taken seriously."

Li William said with great expectation: "Yes, in fact, Jingwushuang can consider cooperating with beauty salons. It does not necessarily have to focus on pharmacies and hospitals. Sales channels can be expanded. As for 8028, let's use social media to explore the way first. After all, production has been suspended for more than [-] years.”

"Change your name?" Chen Xin continued.

"I've thought about this too, but..."

At this time, the cell phone rang, interrupting Li Zishen's thoughts.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell...

After the call was connected, Bai Long's extremely excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Shen, the agreement has been reached, and the land belongs to us."

Li Zi was overjoyed when she heard this, and her eyes flashed with excitement: "Okay, great! Bailong, well done, you've worked hard these two days!"

"It's not hard, it's Brother Shen's good plan."

Li Zishen nodded and responded: "Hurry up and go through the relevant procedures so that the project can start as soon as possible."

"Yes, Brother Shen, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xin and Li William nodded tacitly, their hearts filled with expectations and confidence for the company's future.

The ingredients in the hot pot were cooked until they were fragrant, and they continued to enjoy the food while continuing to discuss issues such as the launch of drugs and the future planning and management of Yishen Shopping Center.

Li Zishen picked up the tea in the cup, took a sip, and looked at Chen Xin seriously: "The shopping mall is a... very important project of our group. Chen Xin, this one depends on you. You must be there." The shopping environment and service quality...make customers feel comfortable and satisfied."

Chen Xin nodded and replied confidently: "Brother Shen, don't worry, it's no problem."

"Okay, that's good!"

Achieving goals requires not only financial resources, but also operations. Li Zi deeply understands this truth.

……

At the same time, Nanjiang Villa.

Mrs. Li's dinner was still very light, only a bowl of rice porridge and two plates of stir-fried vegetables.

Half an hour ago, Li Zihan went to the hospital to accompany his uncle Yuan Feng. During this time, he was running back and forth. Mrs. Li saw it and felt pain in her heart.

It would be great if Zishen could come over!

Mrs. Li thought so and walked slowly to the study upstairs. Practicing calligraphy and copying had become something she had to do before going to bed every day over the years.

Otherwise, how would she spend the long night? She didn't want to take those medicines anymore.

Mrs. Li entered the study, picked up a brush, and began to practice calligraphy.Her handwriting is strong and powerful, and every stroke appears very natural.

Here, she can immerse herself in her own world and enjoy peace and tranquility.

She didn't want to think about all these troublesome things such as test-tube babies, Tang Xiaowan marrying into the Leng family, Aunt Li's sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Liming Yue calling herself a vixen.

Let them leave it to them, whether they are greedy for wealth or marrying into the Li family with the help of their belly, they have already done this, and they cannot die to apologize for their sins.

Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Ma came in with a tray with grapes and figs on it.

"Madam, you see, it's the season, and there are still figs that can bear such a big size. They are red. Try them. Master Zishen just sent them here, and so do the grapes."

Mrs. Li glanced at the fruits and couldn't help but think of Tang Xiaowan again.

Why did you marry Leng Lingxiao?

My Zishen is not good enough. He has done this at the age of 25. How is he worse than him?

Maybe, this is all my retribution. I shouldn't use my child to beg Zhenshan to marry me, beg the old man to take me in, and I shouldn't try to replace Xiaodan.

"What's the matter with you, ma'am?"

"You always have to pay for the sins you have done. It's just a matter of time, isn't it, Mother Wu?"

"You mean...Master Zishen?"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li pursed her lips tightly with a pale face, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Wu Ma quickly stepped forward to help.

"Madam, what I mean is... Young Master Zishen is always on business trips recently and is busy with work, so he can't take care of it... Have a nice meal with you. Don't be sad. The eldest young master is also busy for the company. In fact, he is under pressure. It’s pretty big too.”

Some words really get darker the more they are smeared.

At this moment, Mrs. Li's expression turned extremely ugly, and the brush trembled slightly in her hand.

"Did you already know?"

"Master Zishen... I didn't deliberately hide it from you about going to the hospital to see my uncle." Wu Ma lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Mrs. Li's eyes.She had indeed known about in vitro fertilization for a long time.However, it was not what Yuan Feng said, but what she overheard when Mrs. Li had a nightmare at night and she was giving her a massage to relieve stress.

"It's Zihan, right?"

"Master Zihan also has good intentions. He was thinking that maybe my uncle..."

"Thank you, Mother Wu, it's okay."

After saying this, Mrs. Li continued to practice calligraphy, but there was a sad look on her eyebrows.

"Dad, please stop talking to Auntie on the phone, okay? She is a bad woman, she is a vixen, let her go, let her go quickly."

"Dad, she is a vixen and a bad woman. I want my mother. Dad, you can't have children with her. You are Mingyue's only father."

"Give back my mother, give back my mother!"

Liming Yue's words echoed in Mrs. Li's ears again. Although she was childish, every cry and curse pierced her heart.

The brush in his hand fell onto the paper.

Her mind was in turmoil. One moment she was playing and fooling around on campus with Yi Xiaodan, and the other moment she was secretly following Li Zhenshan to the hospital.And her brother Yuan Feng bought a new car and took her to visit the office.There were many folders there, and she looked at them one by one and flipped through them.

Many fragments suddenly came to mind.It's like watching a movie.Mrs. Li's thoughts were occupied by all kinds of messy memories and scenes.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm not a vixen, how could I be a vixen? I'm not! Mother Wu, I'm not."

Seeing this, Wu Ma hurriedly ran to the locker.

Then, holding a water glass in one hand and medicine in the other, she looked at Mrs. Li with great concern: "Madam, come on, take the medicine first."

"Should I take medicine?"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li's hand trembled, she lost her grip, and the water glass fell to the ground.

The cup made a crisp crackling sound, the pieces flew everywhere, and water droplets sprinkled on the ground.Mrs. Li was stunned. She stared blankly at the broken water glass, as if she could see the brokenness in her heart.

Her eyes were out of focus, unable to concentrate her thoughts, as if she had been stabbed deeply by something.

"Nothing? Why did Zhenshan still think about Xiaodan until he died, without leaving a word to me. He had never looked at me in the eye. He said he only had one wife in his life, and she was Yi Xiaodan. I am just the mother of his children, I am not his wife and never will be."

"Madam, come here, take the medicine quickly."

"I don't take medicine, I'm not sick, I know it very well in my heart, I just... I just feel guilty, I'm sorry for Xiaodan, I'm sorry for her."

"Madam, you can't talk nonsense like this. Miss Yi is just unlucky and has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter!"

Mrs. Li squatted down quietly and hugged herself tightly, her clothes wet with tears.

The feeling of loss filled her heart, making her feel as if she was trapped in endless darkness, unable to get up no matter how hard she climbed.

"Madam, don't move, we'll be here soon."

After Wu Ma gave instructions to Mrs. Li, she left the study. She had to quickly sort out the glass fragments to prevent Mrs. Li from accidentally hurting herself.

At this time, Mrs. Li slowly bent down and picked up a few fragments with trembling hands.Her fingers were cut by tiny fragments, but she felt no pain, only the endless sadness in her heart.

Drops of blood fell on the fragments, like rose petals, so bright red.

This scene made Mrs. Li even more immersed in her inner world, feeling that she was like this water glass and could never fully exist again.

"Madam, you...you are bleeding. Please wait a moment and stop moving."

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Mrs. Li stood up slowly. She looked down at her bleeding fingers. Tears could not help but flow down, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Wu Ma frowned and quickly went to get the medical kit.

She blamed herself in her heart. When she just went to find the broom, she should have thought of pulling Madam to the sofa to rest first, so that maybe she wouldn't be injured, but she ended up bleeding like this.

Immediately, Wu Ma took out disinfectant cotton balls, iodine, bandages and other items from the medical kit.

She gently wiped off the blood on Mrs. Li's fingers, took out a sterile cotton ball from the medical bottle, moistened it with iodine, and gently wiped and disinfected the wound around it, over and over again.

Then, Wu Ma cut off a piece of bandage and carefully began to bandage Mrs. Li's finger.

She skillfully wrapped the bandage around the wound to ensure it was effectively protected.Every time she fixed the bandage, she pressed it gently to make it fit better, very carefully.

This kind of concentration seems to be giving Mrs. Li a kind of spiritual comfort.

Mrs. Li's eyes were moist and she watched quietly.

This situation made her feel the warmth of being cared for and protected.Her nervousness gradually eased, her inner panic gradually subsided, and she was no longer so irritable.

Wu Ma gently loosened the bandage in her hand, saw that Mrs. Li's wound had been properly treated, and said with a smile: "Madam, it's okay, don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Her voice was gentle and light, full of maternal care and comfort.

Mrs. Li looked at her bandaged fingers, tears welling up in her eyes.She wanted to call her mother so much. She hadn't called her mother for a long time, but when the words came to her lips, she finally paused. She really couldn't say it out.

The two have been together for more than [-] years. Through all the discomforts during pregnancy, the rush of giving birth, and the stumbling between the sisters, Wu Ma was with her every time, like a mother.

"Mama Wu, thank you. Without you, maybe I would have been..."

Wu Ma gently patted Mrs. Li's hand and replied gently: "Madam, don't be afraid, it's okay, I will always be by your side to accompany you."

No matter how filial your son is, he cannot be as good as you.

Mrs. Li sighed silently in her heart, her eyebrows suddenly curved, and she smiled brightly.

Suddenly, an excited male voice came.

"Mom, my uncle said he..." Li Zihan ran in with a smile, paused for a few seconds and asked with concern, "Mom, why are you injured?"

"It's okay, I accidentally pricked my hand while picking up the cup." Mrs. Li explained with a smile.

"I said, be careful next time."

"What happened to your uncle? What did he say?"

"Oh, um, uncle said he won't go back to his hometown in Lancheng. He wants to join my roast duck restaurant. He will stay here after he is discharged from the hospital and never leave again."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was stunned. She couldn't believe that these words came from Yuan Feng.

No matter what I said before, I refused!

It's strange. Could it be something happened?

"Did your uncle really say that?" Mrs. Li asked again, wanting to confirm the truth.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't ask for uncle's money. I'm just telling you quietly that uncle won't leave! How about it, a big surprise?"

How could he, the dignified second young master of the Li family and a manly man, ask for his uncle's pension money?
