C498

When he opened the door, there was only one person inside.

The supervisor was stunned. "Boss?"

"They have something to do, so they'll be leaving first."

Hearing that, the supervisor nodded, and looked over to Li Shinian who was standing by the door, and explained: "Sorry, the two guests have some matters to attend to and have left."

"Left?" Li Shinian hesitated, "Then can you give me a way to communicate?"

"This …" The supervisor looked towards the room as if asking for help.

The man who was originally sitting at the table stood up, and handed the card that Wen Haolun had given him before he left to Li Shinian, "You can contact him yourself."

"Thank you." Li Shinian thanked him warmly.

He took the thin card from the man and left.

Because she had suffered a loss in the restaurant, she immediately went to the nearest bank to exchange foreign currency, and at the same time, she signed a bank card to make it easy for her to use.

After she finished tormenting herself, she was no longer in the mood to continue strolling around. After completing the procedures, she returned to the small foreign room.

Late at night.

When Li Shinian came out from the bathroom, he was wearing only a bathrobe as he sat on the side of the bed and wiped his hair.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the card that she had casually placed on the bedside table.

He reached out and picked up the thin card on the table. It was a piece of white cardboard. Other than a phone number, there was nothing else written on it.

After thinking about it, she picked up her phone and typed out a text message to send it to him.

If the other party saw this, she would probably reply. She only needed to return the money.

Li Shinian thought as he threw his phone to the side. He then turned and went to grab a hair dryer to dry his hair.

They sat opposite each other, one big and one small.

On the table was a table full of dishes and an eight-inch cream cake.

A candle was lit on top, but no one had any intention of blowing it out as they watched the candle burn out.

The weak candle flame danced in the night, reflected in the pupils.

After a long while, the phone on the table vibrated and the screen lit up.

His eyes flickered as he leaned forward to blow out the candle. Then, he stood up and turned on the light.

The room was lit up.

He personally took off the candles on the cake and cut a piece of it for Fu Yanzhi, then left it there.

He only took a glance at his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

He skimmed through the contents of the short letter and read, "Thank you for your generous help today. If it's convenient, can you give me an account number so that I can return the money to you?"

Zhu Jiangci deleted the message without even thinking.

"Eat by yourself. After you're done, go back to your room and sleep." He put the phone back in his pocket and left.

Fu Yanzhi obediently sat alone at the dining table eating, he did not disturb Zhu Jiangci.

This was how they had been for the past few months.

With the absence of a hostess, their days were deserted.

He could feel the change in Zhu Jiangci's emotions. Even though Zhu Jiangci treated him the same as before, he knew that it was only because of Qiao An's mother.

After Fu Yanzhi finished eating, he obediently kept his bowl and chopsticks in the kitchen and went to the bathroom for a bath himself.

After showering, he went back to the bed and slept while hugging the elephant baby that Su Qiao An bought him.

After going through a thorough renovation of the boys' and kids' room, aside from a small night light barely illuminating the bedside, the room was almost completely dark.

Overly suppressed sobs came from under the covers.

Zhu Jiangci's hand that was holding the door handle tightened slightly, and in the end, silently closed the door once again.

So it was not only him, but even the child was missing Su Qiao An.

Even now, he still could not find the slightest clue as to where she was.

After sleeping for a while and not getting a reply, Li Shinian had a strange feeling of loss.

When she woke up to brush her teeth, she was still holding onto her phone and browsing through the news from time to time. After she finished washing up, the text message on her phone was still empty. She didn't receive a reply from the other party.

She wondered if she should call him and ask, as she walked downstairs.

Without even raising his head, he stared at his phone and casually called out, "Auntie Qian, I'm not eating breakfast at home anymore."

"Where do you want to go so early?"

"…"

When the thick, sullen voice of a man rang out, her body froze.

Slowly raising her head, she saw Li Jinnan leisurely sitting on the sofa with a dark expression. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"What is it? I can't find my sister? "

"Li Jinnan..."

"I'm your brother!" he snapped.

Li Shinian paused, "Dad doesn't seem to have agreed to your return, why did you come here? Furthermore … How do you know I live here? "

"It's not hard for me to find out where you are." Li Jinnan looked at her with an expressionless face, "Speak, it seems like you really don't want to see me?"

"Yes." "I don't want to stay under the same roof as you. Father said that it was because I was injured that you were especially worried, but Li Jinnan, don't you think that you are being too lenient? I'm not your puppet, so don't try to control my life. "

It would not be an exaggeration to say that when they live together, she even needs Li Jinnan's permission to drink her saliva.

A twisted ruthlessness appeared in Li Jinnan's eyes, but it was very well hidden. He tried his best to ease the tension on his face, and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Alright, if it's only because of that, then big bro will apologize to you here."

Li Shinian looked at him, avoiding his gaze, "Father knew you were back?"

"Got it."

"What are you doing back here? You're not just looking for me, are you? " She did not want to stay with Li Jinnan.

Li Jinnan slightly narrowed his eyes, and laughed coldly, "Of course not, our Li Family has already shifted a portion of our business to the domestic market a few years ago. The reason I came back this time was only to see the situation of the company, as for you …"

He deliberately paused, "Dad wants me to tell you, if you have a good rest, then come with me to the company and train yourself. This way, you won't even know how to take care of the company if you hand it over to you in the future."

Company...

"The company's business has always been managed by you, so I'll leave it to you. I don't want to get involved." Ever since she had woken up, regardless of whether it was Li Jinnan or her father, they had both told her more than once that they wanted her to take over the company in the future.

She was not interested in the company, and Li Jinnan had always been the one in charge of managing all this.

"This is father's wish, if you don't listen to my words as a brother, don't tell me that you want to disobey even father's wishes?" Li Jinnan said, "I will give you a week's time to rest. In a week, you will enter the company as my personal secretary to practice."
