Chapter 1211: Chapter 529: Li Shiqi’s Family
After breakfast, a few of them went to Li Shiqi’s house to pick up luggage.
Li Shiqi’s stepfather had so issues with his left leg, and he didn’t 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 so assets.
As for Li Shiqi’s mother, she looked quite presentable. But those tis were different from now, ten years ago, a woman with a burden, no matter how beautiful she was, dating was possible, but not many n wanted to marry her.
So she eventually married Li Quezi, a twice-married woman with kids, originally seeking a provider, and Li Quezi wasn’t a fool either. Living and eating at ho, one had to work.
From the beginning, Li Quezi frequently hinted at Li Shiqi with veiled criticisms, implying that girls are just a loss, can’t make money, so why study, might as well find soone to marry early.
At this point, Li Shiqi’s mother would always endure silently and privately tell Li Shiqi to bear it.
“Your father’s personality is like this, bear with it, and it’ll pass.”
Actually, in her heart, Li Shiqi never considered that man her father; she never called Li Quezi father.
From Li Quezi’s perspective, he wasn’t wrong. Providing good food and clothing, yet never hearing a word of ‘father’, and he wasn’t soone with a great outlook, so he’d naturally grumble with veiled complaints. Because of this, the relationship between both sides grew more distant.
The New Year was approaching, and the Mahjong hall’s business was exceptionally booming.
Li Shiqi’s mother was bustling around.
While Li Quezi accompanied custors playing Mahjong, a custor said at this mont: “Hey, Old Li, where’s your daughter? She’s been on winter break for quite so days, why haven’t we seen her?”
Li Quezi replied: “Who knows where she’s gone! They say girls are a loss, and that’s exactly true. Ever since she went to university, I barely see her. Nicely providing food and clothes, but in the end, nothing!”
Thinking of this, Li Quezi was slightly upset.
Everyone chuckled upon hearing this, saying, wasn’t she busy studying?
“Who doesn’t know your daughter’s grades are good, she’s at Jinling University!”
“Hmph!”
Li Quezi dismissed, as he played cards, saying, what use is good grades.
“It’s not benefiting any.”
As they were talking, a black rcedes 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 wasn’t any planning to speak of. The Mahjong hall was a mix of various people, the outside full of casually parked cars.
So when the rcedes G-Class parked, soone noticed its pricey presence.
But most people were too engrossed in their Mahjong, paying no attention.
Zhou Yuwen asked Li Shiqi: “Want to go down with you?”
“No need, just wait for in the car.”
Zhou Yuwen thought of getting Liu Shuo to help Li Shiqi carry so stuff, but Li Shiqi said there’s nothing to take. She never felt attached to this family; old clothes, if unnecessary, she’d leave behind. Mainly diaries, and a few things of sentintal value kept at ho she’d retrieve; she didn’t want Zhou Yuwen to see her fractured ho.
So despite Zhou Yuwen ntioning it several tis, Li Shiqi was firm about not letting Zhou Yuwen co down.
Zhou Yuwen seeing this, didn’t insist further, and said alright then.
Thus the car door opened, and Li Shiqi stepped out.
The noticeable rcedes 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.
It’s said a girl changes a lot at eighteen, and it’s really true. Though Li Shiqi had only left ho for a year, the change was profound.
Especially now, wearing black high heels, she seed 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 didn’t recognize Li Shiqi.
Not only Li Quezi but also Li Shiqi’s mother, busy serving tea to custors, didn’t notice Li Shiqi’s return until a custor remarked, boss lady, you’ve got a visitor.
Li’s mother realized, holding a large kettle, hurriedly walked over: “Hello, welco! How many of you?”
Years of labor had caused Li’s mother to beco plump; she resembled an ordinary town woman with short hair, apron tied around her waist.
Compared to Li Shiqi in her heels, Li’s mother was a head shorter, initially smiling. But when she saw the girl’s face clearly, Li’s mother paused.
Then showed delight: “Shiqi!”
“Dear! Dear, our daughter is back! Shiqi, you’ve beco so beautiful!”
Li’s mother was genuinely thrilled now because she rembered when her daughter left, she was still a high schooler, yet now she looks just like a star on TV!
