Two years later.
On a weekend day, the afternoon sun was golden. Through the raised French windows of the villa, it spread all over the room, warm and soft.
At the very long desk, two small figures sat quietly on both sides and carefully wrote their homework. For a long time, a little boy looked up at the young woman sitting on the side and frowned, "Mr. Lu, is today's tutorial over?"
Lu Zixi was suddenly stunned. Yu Guang glanced at the wall clock in the distance, and slightly embarrassed pursed his lower lip, "it's over, but... Li Lin, is your father going to the company at the weekend?"
Since DIU DIU's life story was made public two years ago, Li Chenxi personally corrected all the information about his child, and his name was changed to Li Lin along with his eldest son Li Zheng.
When Li Lin heard the speech, he tilted his small head, looked at the woman next to him with a pair of big dark eyes, and said after a moment of silence, "almost. My father works very late and is very busy every day."
After hesitating, Li Lin hesitated and didn't wait to say anything. A little girl of about the same age across the street made a preemptive strike and said directly, "my father is very busy and won't have time to fall in love. Don't waste your mind, Miss Lu."
Lu Zixi, "..."
Li Lin glanced at his sister and whispered, "Xi Xi!"
With her small mouth bulging, she looked like she was just telling the truth. Then she closed the homework book in front of her, simply cleaned it up, got off the chair and left the room.
Li Lin looked at Lu Zixi with slightly complicated eyes. "Teacher, my sister doesn't mean anything else. Don't get me wrong. In fact, I also know that you are Uncle Lu's sister, you and my father..."
Lu Zixi's complexion was difficult. Some helpless raised their hands and gathered the broken hair behind their ears. He hurriedly said, "lin'er, you may have misunderstood. The teacher didn't mean anything else."
She is Lu Shaoling's cousin. She returned home from studying abroad a year ago. She met Li Chenxi on both sides by chance. It can be said that she fell in love at first sight.
Such a well-dressed and temperament man exudes an intoxicating impulse. Lu Shaoling has long seen her meaning, so he deliberately arranged for her to come over to tutor for the two children.
Li Lin stared at her with some complicated eyes for a while and suddenly said, "teacher, do you like my father?"
"Well..."
Lu Zixi really didn't expect that the child would suddenly ask such a question. He was so straightforward. He didn't respond for a moment. He was stunned. It lasted a long time before he reluctantly turned around. He said in a low voice, "well, i... I just saw your father taking your three children alone, busy working and taking care of you. It's not easy..."
Li Lin sighed and shook his head like a little adult. "It's only temporary. My father has a wife."
After a pause, he said while cleaning up his homework book in front of him, "my mother has gone on a business trip and will be back with us soon."
Lu Zixi's heart suddenly sank. He looked at the child and nodded, "yes, your mother went on a business trip and will be back soon. The teacher thought too much!"
Accompanied Li Lin downstairs, Lu Zixi was a little absent-minded, and her thoughts continued to fluctuate. In fact, she had heard of "Mrs. Li" from her cousin and Li's servants.
An accident two years ago caused Li Chenxi to be seriously injured and kept for half a year. That accident also caused the death of this "Mrs. Li".
After the incident, the police and Li's people arrived one after another and sent people to search everywhere, but there was no news.
No man alive, no body dead.
However, many people judge from the scene of the fight and the amount of blood left, and there is no doubt that Mrs. Li will die.
Lu Shaoling, Wei Chi Hao, and others all proposed to persuade the "Mrs. Li" to have a clothes grave. Many people also suggested that the news should be told to the three children, breaking the children's minds. However, the proposal was just put forward, but it was rejected by Li Chenxi.
Since then, he just told the children that Mrs. Li had gone on a business trip, and he didn't mention anything else.
Lu Zixi didn't know exactly what to do.
When she thought of this, her footsteps downstairs couldn't help but pause. Looking at the thin back of the child in front, she felt something bad, "that Lin er..."
Li Lin stopped and looked back at her, "teacher?"
Lu Zixi walked over, crouched near the child and sighed, "lin'er, you are now seven years old. You have learned the courses of grade one, two and three in primary school. You will go to primary school in the second half of the year. You are also a big child. There are some things that your father doesn't say or represent that you don't understand. Your mother may have been... Gone..."
As soon as the last three words were settled, Li Lin's beautiful face suddenly flashed surprise, followed by anger, and instantly dyed his eyes red, "nonsense! Teacher, you're talking nonsense! My mother will be fine, absolutely not!"
Not waiting for Lu Zixi to say anything, a crisp male voice came from a distance, "Mr. Lu."
The three cold words have a very strong momentum.
Lu Zixi was slightly stunned and raised his eyes to follow the prestige. He saw Li Zheng walking downstairs from the backyard. He was dressed in white casual clothes, a height of more than one meter, clean and straight, and sharp and sharp like Li Chenxi in his cold eyebrows and eyes.
Li Zheng walked over a few steps, and his cold eyes swept to Lu Zixi. "Mr. Lu came to tutor my brother and sister, not to talk about our Li family housework?"
He said a little and then said, "if you don't understand your job and identity, I'm afraid it will only harm people's children?"
A few words, sharp words, and cold eyes, every move gives people an invisible shock.
Lu Zixi widened his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him. For a moment, he felt like a clown. His body felt annihilated by some cold liquid and shivered uncontrollably.
She was a little ashamed and her cheeks were hot. She stood up and hesitated, "well, I'm sorry, the teacher seems to have said something she shouldn't have said..."
Li Zheng couldn't bear to take a deep breath. Yu Guang swept to Li Lin on one side. The lowered voice was several times darker, "come here."
In the past two years, Li Zheng has surpassed Li Lin in all aspects because he is older than the two children and has inherent genetic advantages. In the event of Shu Yao's accident, Li Zheng has always been bitter about his brother and sister. They don't get along well.
Imperceptibly, Li Lin was inexplicably afraid of Li Zheng.
Maybe he is too young. He can't beat Li Zheng. He is a little inferior to Li Zheng in all aspects of learning. Naturally, he forms a feeling of respect and fear for his brother.
So as soon as Li Zheng was out, Li Lin immediately obediently came over, slightly lowered his head and whispered, "brother."
In response to him, Li Zheng said coldly, "get out!"
Li Lin, "..."
Even though he didn't want to, Li Lin nodded, "OK."
Li Lin didn't wait to step here, but the voice came from the rear, "brother, you bully my second brother again!"
Although Li Zheng also "doesn't like" this sister very much, and she doesn't hurt her much on weekdays, Xi Xi has a feeling of fearlessness in her bones. In addition, Li Chenxi dotes on this daughter, and she has a backer. With a very fast step, she runs to Li Lin in twos and threes, and her fierce eyes stare at Li Zheng, "Brother, if you bully people like this again, I can tell Dad to go! Let him..."
Before she finished, Li Zheng grabbed her wrist. She was so strong that she couldn't help crying out. She worked hard to earn, but she couldn't shake a penny. She was ashamed and angry, "Li Zheng!"
"Call your brother by his first name? It's so unruly. Who taught you?" Li Zheng raised his voice, and his cold eyes looked at her like a sword.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, in the direction of the porch in the distance, a low and cold male voice came in in time.
