Chapter 184 Anna Mae Arrives
Anyway, the agreement has already been signed.

Just like Li Banxia said, her relationship with Du Juan is the same with or without it.

Thinking of this, Li Jianjian decided to take action on his own and put the matter aside after struggling for two or three days.

Then he imitated He Ziqiu, who went out early and came back late, and started working on his studio.

Seeing her like this, Li Haichao was relieved but also felt distressed: "This child is either lazy or working too hard..."

With the support of these two people, Li Banxia felt the most relaxed.

You might say that he is not diligent, but he did not forget to read during the holidays.

You can say that he is hardworking, but Li Haichao always feels weird.

He saw his neighbor's children studying for graduate school and Ph.D., which showed the spirit of the college entrance examination. As long as they couldn't learn to die, they would study to death. It was not like his leisurely state at all.

Then Li Haichao comforted himself: "I have been thinking too much. Everyone's learning status is different..."

……

Time is the fairest thing in the world. No matter who has only 24 hours in a day, no one should think about one more minute or one second.

In their busy lives, they all have their own gains and growth.

Although Li Jianjian's studio started later than He Ziqiu's, it doesn't need to be as complicated as a dessert shop. In fact, it opened earlier than his.

On the day of the opening, Li Banxia, ​​He Ziqiu, and Li Haichao were very supportive.

Ling He, who usually disappears every year, was absent from this occasion without any surprise. However, although others did not arrive, they still ordered two flower baskets to congratulate Li Jianjian on his prosperous business.

As for Qi Mingyue, she followed her seniors to cover news and would arrive later.

Looking at the stylish studio, Li Banxia handed over a big red envelope: "Jianjian, congratulations on your opening."

"Thank you bro!!"

Li Jianjian touched the thick red envelope and estimated that there were several thousand in it. He secretly rejoiced: "This is such a timely gift~~"

Recently, for this studio, she had emptied all her savings over the years. Now is the time when she needs money.

Because He Ziqiu is not rich now, he can only pack a relatively small one for her: "I'm sorry Jianjian, I only have so much now..."

"It's okay, little brother!"

Li Jianjian also knew that He Ziqiu's dessert shop was about to open and the cost would be much more than hers, so he smiled and said: "No one is too much, no one is too little, no one will refuse~"

After receiving the red envelope, he greeted the two of them even more enthusiastically.

Seeing her money-obsessed performance, Li Haichao smiled helplessly and shook his head.

However, he also handed over the red envelopes from himself and Ling Heping. After thinking about it, he still felt that Li Banxia was right.

Now that Li Jianjian Studio has just started, there are more places to spend money.

It's better to give him cash so that she can take care of whatever she needs.

This timely red envelope of blood replenishment made Li Jianjian hug everyone happily and said boldly: "Dad, brother, little brother, I'll treat you to the lunch you're waiting for. Don't you guys want to rob me~~"

This operation made Li Banxia couldn't help but secretly complain: "Take other people's red envelopes to invite others to dinner in person, only Li Jianjian can do it..."

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Li Jianjian's studio has not been open for long, and it's time for He Ziqiu's dessert shop to open.

But just as he was about to go out to the dessert shop, Li Banxia received a call from his tutor saying that he wanted to talk to him about the thesis.

He motioned to Li Jianjian and Li Haichao to go ahead...

By the time I finished the call, half an hour had passed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Banxia also left quickly. It was the first day for the little brother to open the business. As an elder brother, he should encourage him no matter what he said.

But when he first arrived near the dessert shop, he saw a rather elegant middle-aged woman with short hair, wearing high heels and sunglasses, hiding behind a tree and observing what was happening in the dessert shop.

Seeing this weird scene, Li Banxia thought it was a competitor coming to spy on information.

Then he walked up and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"

The middle-aged woman was startled by the sudden sound. She quickly turned to look at Li Banxia and said in a slight panic: "No... nothing happened..."

What just puzzled him was that this man seemed even more panicked after seeing him clearly.

know me? !

This panic made Li Banxia frown. He also felt that this middle-aged woman was very familiar.

After searching in my mind, I found that the other person looked very similar to the person on He Ziqiu's dressing mirror!

Thinking of this, Li Banxia said: "Are you Aunt He Mei..."

Upon hearing the name Anna Mae, the middle-aged woman suddenly froze.

Looking at her performance, Li Banxia knew that she was indeed He Ziqiu's biological mother, Anna Mei.

Anna Mae didn't expect that Li Haichao's neighbor's kid would recognize her even after she hadn't appeared for so many years.

There's no point in pretending that things have come to this point.

She quickly regained her composure, took off her sunglasses and said calmly: "It's me. I didn't expect you to know me."

Hearing her admission, Li Banxia did not answer her question, but asked: "Aunt He, what are you doing?"

"I……"

Anna Mei hesitated for a while before she made up the reason: "I happened to be on a business trip to Menxia today. I heard from my former colleagues that Ziqiu opened a dessert shop, so I stopped by to have a look..."

Li Banxia didn't believe a word of this.

He Ziqiu has not been seen for so many years, but He Ziqiu just happened to be on a business trip when he opened the store?

Think about it and feel that there is a problem.

Before he could say anything, Anna Mae put on her sunglasses again and chuckled: "Okay, I've seen it, it's time for me to go."

After speaking, he planned to leave.

Li Banxia stopped her and said, "Aunt He, are you leaving so soon? Have you forgotten anything else?"

Hearing this, Anna Mae was very confused at first, but then she thought of what it was.

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to leave if he didn't explain clearly today, he had no choice but to say: "You want to talk about the money I borrowed from your father back then."

borrow?
After hearing this, Li Banxia's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. The scene at that time was more like a lie, right? !

But for He Ziqiu's sake, seeing that she still had something to say, Li Banxia patiently listened to it.

"Actually, I returned the money to Li Haichao in 2010. If you don't believe me, you can call him now and ask him."

After reading so many psychological books, Li Banxia could tell that Anna Mae was not lying.

Otherwise, he would not have been so confident in asking him to call Li Haichao for verification.

But this action made him very confused: "What on earth does she want to do?"

The person is back and the money has been paid back long ago.

But she just looked at He Ziqiu secretly, not wanting to appear in front of him.

However, Li Haichao's hard-earned money was more important at the moment, so Li Banxia followed Anna Mae's wishes and called Li Haichao in front of her.

Li Haichao: "Hey Ling Xiao, what's going on?"

Because of Anna Mae's presence, Li Banxia didn't have time to go around in circles, so she said, "Dad Li, can you find a quiet place, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this tone, Li Haichao knew that something must be wrong with him, so he found a corner and said, "Okay Ling Xiao, just tell me."

"Dad Li, did Aunt Anna Mae return the money to you in 10 years?"

"How did you know?!"

When Anna Mei paid back the money, she actually told her that she was married and that Zi Qiu was a burden to her.

This made Li Hai very angry. Is this what a mother who has disappeared for many years should say? !
After hearing this, Li Haichao decided not to tell He Ziqiu that they had met. The truth was too cruel for He Ziqiu, who was still a child.Li Haichao would rather he hold on to false hope than be burdened with the result of waiting for many years.

Originally, after so many years, this matter was settled.

I didn't expect it to be revealed suddenly today.

Do you think he can't be surprised?

Li Banxia knew it was true when he heard his tone, and wanted to tell him that Anna Mae was outside the dessert shop.

But when there was a hint of this, he saw Anna Mae waving to him desperately.

This incident itself exudes a strange atmosphere and is quite inconsistent.

Thinking that there might be something hidden in it, Li Banxia said to Li Haichao: "Dad Li, this matter is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it later."

Then he hung up the phone.

Anna Mae couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Banxia didn't tell him.

Pretending not to care, he said: "Okay, you already know the matter, so I can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Li Banxia turned slightly to indicate that she could leave.

But when He Mei walked past him, she paused for a while before speaking slowly: "If you are really doing Zi Qiu's best, go back and tell Li Haichao that you two have never met me, and don't talk to Zi Qiu." Qiu talked about it.”

Looking at Anna Mae slowly leaving, Li Banxia could tell that she was not as calm as she appeared.

But this matter should wait until he goes back to check it carefully.

Then Li Banxia walked towards the dessert shop. It was important to attend the little brother's new store opening event first.

Wait for him to show up at the dessert shop.

Just after saying hello to He Ziqiu and giving him a red envelope, he was pulled aside for questioning before he could even say a few words.

Of course he knew what Li Haichao wanted to ask, so he was the first to speak up: "Dad Li, I just met Aunt Anna Mae outside the dessert shop."

"Huh?! Just outside?"

When Li Haichao heard this, he immediately turned around and walked outside.

Seeing this, Li Banxia quickly grabbed him and said, "Dad Li, you don't have to go, he has already left."

When he heard that the person had left, Li Haichao felt disappointed and said, "Ling Xiao, did your Aunt He say anything?"

"I didn't say anything. I just said that I happened to be here on a business trip and stopped by to see Ziqiu."

"Oh, I see……"

Although Li Haichao's mood was very strange, Li Banxia still asked about the past.

See things come to light.

Li Haichao didn't hide anything and said it clearly.

After hearing it, Li Banxia understood why he didn't talk about it back then.

But He Mei's behavior told him that she loved Zi Qiu and was not as ruthless as she showed.

Seeing that Li Banxia didn't speak after listening, Li Haichao pretended to be casual and asked: "Aside from visiting Ziqiu, did your Aunt He say anything else?"

The monk Zhang Er was confused when asked, and Li Banxia asked in confusion: "No more, what else do we want to talk about?"

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Li Haichao looked around.

When they realized that no one was paying attention, they asked in a low voice, "You, your Aunt He didn't mention your Father Li?"

No way! ?

As soon as these words came out, Li Banxia looked at him with a strange expression.

In the past, I often heard Granny Qian complain: "Haichao, you've been single for so long, are you waiting for Anna Mae?!"

Now that I think about it, maybe Granny Qian is really right!

Otherwise this positive performance cannot be explained.

Li Haichao looked awkward and said quickly: "Since your Aunt He didn't say anything, forget it."

Then, fearing that his thoughts would be seen, he urged: "Let's go there quickly, Ziqiu's side is almost impatient!"

It's a pity that this place with good performance does not have 300 taels of silver.

On the contrary, it confirmed Li Banxia's thoughts.

However, before the doubts in his heart were resolved, he was not busy exposing Li Haichao.

……

After returning from the dessert shop, Li Banxia searched for the information he wanted on the Internet.

He was just shocked when he saw it!
Unexpectedly, Anna Mae actually spent four years in prison.

What's more important is that Li Haichao said that Anna Mae was married, but the result of his online search was that she had not remarried since her divorce from Zhao Huaguang.

Now that I think about Anna Mae's weird behavior, everything makes sense.

Then Li Banxia found Li Haichao and told him what he had discovered.

Li Haichao's reaction was just as he had first learned, he was very surprised: "Have been in prison for four years? Not married yet?!"

Now he was completely bewildered.

"No, it was she who told me personally that she had re-founded a family!"

"Ling Xiao, Dad Li's brain is almost turned into mush right now. Please help me analyze why your Aunt He Mei lied?!"

Li Banxia thought for a while and said, "Aunt He Mei probably doesn't want Ziqiu to know that he has a mother who has been in prison."

"Another reason is that she knew that she owed Ziqiu a lot, and felt that she was shameless and unqualified to recognize Ziqiu back, so she deliberately said those heartless words to let you, Dad Li, feel at ease to raise Ziqiu as your own child. "

After knowing all the things, Li Banxia had very complicated feelings about Anna Mae.

She is more assertive without considering the consequences.

She married Zhao Huaguang despite her family's objections, but decided to divorce after discovering Zhao Huaguang's scumbag nature.

But after the divorce, she found out she was pregnant, and gave birth to He Ziqiu despite the strange looks.

But she kept her word, and if her son was given to Li Haichao, he would be Li Haichao's son. Even if his life was unsatisfactory, He Ziqiu would not pester him no matter how much he thought about it.

I will just watch him silently from a distance like today.

Hearing Li Banxia's analysis, Li Haichao also thought it made sense.

Thinking that He Mei had carried everything on her for so many years, she couldn't help but sigh with pity: "I finally know who Zi Qiu followed for his stubborn temper..."

Then he thought about the relationship between the two and asked again: "Ling Xiao, do you think we should tell Ziqiu about this..."

Li Banxia was also in trouble on this matter.

But the thought of his younger brother He Ziqiu being abandoned was like a thorn that had been buried in his heart for many years.

Now that he had the opportunity to pull out this thorn, he was willing to help.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Let's not tell Ziqiu about this first. Let's do the work of communicating with Aunt Anna. Although Ziqiu complained about being abandoned for so many years, he still longed for Aunt Anna to come back. .”

Li Haichao thought it made sense when he heard it, and immediately asked Li Banxia for the address of Anna Mae Beauty Salon.

He patted his chest and said, "Ling Xiao, I'll leave this matter to your father Li!"

"Dad Li is not as capable as you to find out so many things, but he still wants to do his part in this matter."

After hearing this, Li Banxia looked at him in amusement, joking secretly in her heart: "Dad Li, an honest man, can actually be cunning when it comes to love~"

Then he agreed to Li Haichao's request and asked him to go to Anna Mei to talk about the matter.
