Chapter 647: A Surprise
Zheng Li already knew yesterday that Li Daqi was coming back.
Originally, she wanted to ask for leave to go to Yangcheng Railway Station to pick up Li Daqi. She hadn't seen him for so many days and she was already feeling deeply homesick.
However, Li Daqi told Zheng Li on the phone that if she went to Guangzhou, it would be a long way to go back and forth, and she would have to take a minibus, which was afraid that she would be tired. Besides, it was not safe for a girl to go out alone, and if she asked for leave specially, people in the company would inevitably talk about her.
They haven't seen each other for so many days, and there is no need to rush. Li Daqi told her that he would rush back to Shenzhen as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, and the two agreed to meet at the old place after get off work.
Zheng Li thought about it and felt that Li Daqi was right. She was mainly worried that he would not be at ease if she went to pick him up.
In this way, Zheng Li and Li Daqi made an appointment a day in advance. When Zheng Li went to work today, she was smiling. Meng Lihong saw her and secretly asked Zheng Li if there was any good news. Could it be that Li Daqi was coming back?
Zheng Li nodded shyly and said that Li Daqi was coming back today and they had agreed to meet after get off work. Hearing this, Meng Lihong was really happy for Zheng Li. Meng Lihong had seen the whole journey of Zheng Li and Li Daqi from their acquaintance to their love.
Li Daqi is a really good person, kind and sincere, and not bad looking. As for work, being a driver for the boss is a very respectable job, and the fact that Li Daqi has been away on business for so long is clearly a sign that the boss values him. Although Meng Lihong is a young girl, she is not completely ignorant. It is very good for a good friend to have such a partner.
Now there are only Zheng Li and Meng Lihong left in the dormitory of three people. Gu Bei moved out some time ago.
Meng Lihong was very angry about Gu Bei's choice. She wondered why a girl from a good family would do such a thing?
What's so good about Boss Cao? Isn't it just a few stinky money? I grew up with Gu Bei, why didn't I see that Gu Bei was so greedy for enjoyment before?
Now Gu Bei no longer goes to work and lives in a big house arranged for her by Boss Cao. She dresses up gorgeously every day, like a rich lady.
But Meng Lihong knew that Boss Cao had a wife and children. What would happen if Gu Bei followed Boss Cao like this? Even if Gu Bei swore to them that the relationship between Boss Cao and his wife had broken down long ago, and that they would get married as soon as Boss Cao and his wife divorced, etc.
When she said these words, Gu Bei's face was full of longing, as if she was about to become Mrs. Cao.
But both Zheng Li and Meng Lihong thought that Gu Bei was daydreaming. How could such a good thing happen in the world? Although Boss Cao treated them well, one thing is one thing. Boss Cao’s promise to Gu Bei could not be verified. They couldn’t run all the way from Pengcheng to Hong Kong to ask Mrs. Cao, right? Not to mention that they couldn’t go to Hong Kong at all, even if they went there, they couldn’t ask. Would they find Mrs. Cao and ask her directly if her relationship with her husband was bad and her relationship had broken down? Let her divorce and quit as soon as possible to make way for Gu Bei? This is nothing!
Zheng Li and Meng Lihong could not understand Gu Bei's choice. They tried to persuade her, but she simply wouldn't listen. After talking too much, she got angry and unhappy, which hurt the relationship between the sisters.
There was no other way. After all, it was their own choice. Zheng Li and Meng Lihong could only hope that what Boss Cao said was true and that Gu Bei would get what she wanted. Although they knew in their hearts that the possibility was very small, as good friends, they could only hope so when they could not persuade her.
However, although Gu Bei moved out and quit her job, the three of them did not stop communicating and their relationship was still good.
Sometimes Gu Bei would come over to see them and invite them to her home. She would also bring gifts to the two little sisters. Seeing that they seemed to be doing well, Zheng Li and Meng Lihong gradually felt relieved and stopped trying to persuade them.
After get off work, Zheng Li went back to the dormitory, changed into beautiful clothes, and found some lipstick to apply it in front of the mirror.
Speaking of this lipstick, I bought it some time ago when I got my salary and went shopping with Meng Lihong. Such a small lipstick costs 9 yuan, which is not cheap.
Dressed up beautifully, Zheng Li said hello to Meng Lihong and left the dormitory. As soon as she got out of the factory gate, she headed towards a better place.
More than ten minutes later, Zheng Li came to the old place where she had agreed to meet Li Daqi. As soon as she arrived, she saw Li Daqi standing there waiting for her.
When she saw Li Daqi, her heart was filled with joy and she quickly trotted over to meet him.
"Wait a while?"
"No, I just got here too."
"Oh, why are you so thin? You were not fat to begin with, but now you are even thinner? Is it because you are too tired from the business trip?"
Touching his face, Li Daqi smiled and said, "Why do people who see me when I come back say that I have lost weight? I didn't notice it when I was outside."
"You, you don't take care of yourself at all. Didn't I tell you over the phone to get enough rest and eat properly? You must not have listened to me, that's why you're so thin."
"I've listened to it, why wouldn't I listen?" Li Daqi explained quickly: "I eat three meals a day and do n't stay up late. Maybe it's because I'm not used to the climate here."
Zheng Li rolled her eyes at him. How could someone be so thin if they were not used to the local climate? Li Daqi must have been too tired and worked too hard to lose weight. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Daqi.
"Come on! I'll take you to eat delicious food and give you a good nourishment today." Zheng Li took Li Daqi's hand and said, "A restaurant opened nearby some time ago. Gu Bei said that the food in this restaurant tastes very good, but Zheng Li has not been there yet."
Li Daqi came back today, and she planned to take him out for a good meal. Zheng Li had some money after receiving her salary and bonus a few days ago, so she planned to treat Li Daqi to a meal today.
"Xiao Li..." Someone pulled him, but Li Daqi didn't follow Zheng Li. Instead, he stood there, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Li was stunned and looked at Li Daqi in confusion.
"Well, there is something I want to tell you..." Li Daqi stammered, looking extremely embarrassed.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Li suddenly felt bad. Did Li Daqi change his mind? Did he want to break up with her? When she thought of this, Zheng Li's heart sank.
"Maybe..." Zheng Li thought to herself, they haven't seen each other for so many days, they are far away from each other, maybe Li Daqi has met a better girl in another place. Besides, Li Daqi is a nice person, has a good job, and is an excellent young man. Which girl doesn't like such a young man?
Thinking of this, Zheng Li felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife. Her eyes were covered with mist. She clenched her left hand into a fist and squeezed it tightly. She said to herself, Zheng Li, you have to be strong! It's no big deal. Losing you is his loss. Be strong! Be strong!
Although I said this, the pain in my heart did not get better, but became worse.
Zheng Li really wanted to run away immediately, run to a place where there was no one and cry her heart out, letting out all her emotions.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoli, I didn't ask for your opinion before. How can I put it... I ran into my dad when I came back today. My dad knows that you and I are in a relationship, so he asked me to take you home for dinner. My mom also knows about it, and they are waiting for us to come over at home..."
"Originally, I should have asked for your opinion on this matter, but it happened so suddenly that I couldn't do anything about it. But don't worry, my parents are very good people, they will definitely like you, Xiaoli, you won't blame me, will you..."
"I agree!" Zheng Li's mind was full of what she had just thought, and she didn't hear clearly what Li Daqi was saying. After Li Daqi finished speaking, she answered subconsciously, and the tears in her eyes finally fell.
"Okay, let's go. My parents are waiting for you at home." Seeing that Zheng Li agreed, Li Daqi was very happy. He took Zheng Li's hand and walked aside.
This pull made Zheng Li stunned. Didn't she agree to break up? Why was Li Daqi still holding her? Where were they going?
Zheng Li was a little dazed and asked Li Daqi where he was going. Li Daqi said he was going to his house! To meet his parents and finalize their relationship. Didn't she agree to that just now?
When these words came out, Zheng Li was dumbfounded, and she quickly asked what was going on.
Li Daqi was also puzzled. Didn't he just say it? How could he forget it in the blink of an eye? Fortunately, Li Daqi was patient and repeated it to Zheng Li again. This time, Zheng Li finally understood what was going on. She felt ashamed, annoyed, and extremely embarrassed.
"You are so bad!" He clenched his fist and hit Li Daqi's chest several times, tears in his eyes could not help but fall again.
But at this time, Zheng Li no longer had the sadness and the feeling of being disheartened. Instead, she was filled with happiness and sweetness.
"He's going to take himself to meet his family!"
Zheng Li cheered in her heart. What does this mean? All men and women who are in love in this era know it well.
Today is not the time of ten or twenty years later. Their generation is still genuine and sincere about feelings, especially meeting the parents is a big deal. Once the man and woman take each other to meet the parents, this attitude means approval. After meeting the parents, if the parents have no problem, then they will enter the substantive stage of discussing the marriage and holding the wedding banquet.
Li Daqi was confused. He hadn't figured out what was going on yet.
Didn't he just not have time to greet Zheng Li in advance? It's not his fault! Who made his father suddenly say this today? Parents' orders are hard to disobey! As a son, Li Daqi couldn't disobey this.
What's more, he has been dating Zheng Li for such a long time, and both of them like each other. They already have a deep emotional foundation. In Li Daqi's opinion, meeting the parents this time is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
If his parents agreed after meeting Zheng Li, then Li Daqi would decide to marry Zheng Li. This is a major event in life, and he had already thought it through on the way here.
