Liu Cuihong caught the keywords and asked, "Others? What others, who helped you with your enrollment?"
Li Zhaodi stubbornly refused to answer, and Liu Cuihong provoked her, "You've only been in the city for a few days, and you've found a backer, but you won't even tell me?"
"I didn't," Li Zhaodi retorted.
"Then tell me who helped you?" Liu Cuihong suddenly softened her tone, "As long as you tell me, your father and I won't stop you from going to college."
As soon as she heard that her family might agree to let her go, Li Zhaodi's tears gradually stopped. It seemed her parents were willing for her to go.
"It was An An's dad. Uncle Qin helped me."
"An An, that bastard, really found his dad?" Li Dayong snatched the phone and asked, "If his dad can help you with the admission notice, he must be an official, right?"
"No, don't talk nonsense," Li Zhaodi said softly, "An An's dad is a businessman. He just clarified the situation for me, and the school let me report directly. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to trouble others." wAp.kanshu伍.net
Li Zhaodi thought of her admission notice being destroyed by them, and she resented them a little. She didn't want to owe favors. kanδん
Li Dayong chuckled and said, "Zhaodi, your mother and I will come to see you tomorrow. Aren't you going to college? We'll bring you some things."
The tone shifted so abruptly that Li Zhaodi almost couldn't react.
"No need to come, I'm still working, and I'll report in a while."
Li Dayong didn't reply and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Li Zhaodi was immersed in the joy of her parents agreeing to let her go to college, while on the other side.
Li Dayong was slapped by Liu Cuihong, "What stuff to bring her? Where do we have anything left at home for her? We finally raised her to an age where she can go out and make money, and now she's clamoring to go to college! This ungrateful wretch."
Li Dayong grinned foolishly, ignoring the slap. Instead, he held Liu Cuihong's hand and said, "My dear, we're going to be rich!"
Liu Cuihong was confused, and Li Dayong said, "Think about it, someone who can talk to the school must be doing a significant business, or at least be wealthy! We'll take our son with us. If they are willing to help Zhaodi, they'll surely help our son too. Then..."
Liu Cuihong's eyes lit up, and she excitedly added, "Then, our son can go to a good school in the city?!"
"Exactly! My dear, quickly go find our son. We'll pack our things now and leave immediately!"
Liu Cuihong found her son, Li Qinghua, fishing by the river. "Son! Let's go and enjoy some good life with your sister!"
"Did sister hook up with a rich man?" Li Qinghua's spirits lifted.
Liu Cuihong pulled her son home, "Something like that. Your high school is settled!"
Li Qinghua was a little resistant to going to high school, and said reluctantly, "Mom, can't sister's sugar daddy arrange a job for me? Then I can sit in an office directly and start earning money for you now!"
Liu Cuihong was overjoyed and praised her son for his filial piety.
The family took a bus to Yu Chang City. After several transfers, they finally arrived in Yu Chang City early the next morning.
They arrived at the restaurant according to the address Li Zhaodi had given.
"Wow, what a big restaurant!" Li Qinghua's eyes widened. "Mom, we can finally live a good life."
Li Dayong led his wife and son inside. The decoration of the lobby made the three of them walk cautiously.
"Welcome, do you have a reservation?" a waitress asked with a smile, paying no attention to their attire.
"Miss, we... we're looking for Li Zhaodi." Li Dayong's eyes were wide. The waitresses here were all so beautiful!
In a moment, Li Zhaodi came out. They chatted for a long time, and the three of them even stayed for a meal there.
After the meal, they used the excuse of wanting to see Li Zhaodi's accommodation and went to her dormitory. They then insisted on staying to rest, saying they needed to rest. Li Zhaodi couldn't persuade them and couldn't afford to pay for a hotel. Burdened by the word "filial piety," she had no choice but to apologize to her roommates.
Liu Cuihong grabbed one of the roommates and whispered, "Do you know An An?"
"You mean the little brother who often comes to see Zhaodi?" The roommate, though unhappy about the room being occupied, tolerated it, thinking they were Li Zhaodi's family.
"Yes, yes! Where can we find him?"
"He seems to be studying at a small school not far from here, I'm not sure. Why are you looking for him?" the roommate asked, very confused.
Liu Cuihong shook her head, indicating she was just asking.
When Li Zhaodi went to work, the three of them found the small school and waited by the entrance.
They waited for a long time under the scorching sun. Li Qinghua grumbled and lost his temper with Liu Cuihong. Li Dayong lovingly told Liu Cuihong to fan their son.
Finally, the children started to come out one by one.
"Keep your eyes peeled. When you see An An, rush over and grab him!" Li Dayong instructed the two of them.
"An An? Why are you looking for An An?" Zhou Qingyan happened to pass by and heard this, asking curiously.
Liu Cuihong put on what she thought was a kind and amiable smile and asked, "Do you know An An? Where is he?"
Zhou Qingyan glanced at their clothes, felt disdainful, but outwardly acted docile, saying, "An An finished all his studies early today and was picked up by someone sent by his dad. If you want to find him, you can go to the Jin Cui Ren Jian villa district."
Zhou Qingyan kindly added, "An An usually leaves before eight in the morning, you can try waiting there. His family's car is easy to recognize, a black retro car with a blue logo."
After Zhou Qingyan walked away, Liu Cuihong smiled triumphantly, "How easy it is to fool these children nowadays. With just one smile from me, he told me everything."
The three of them waited outside the gate of Jin Cui Ren Jian early the next morning.
"What kind of people live here? It's like a park, and the houses inside are grouped together in several buildings?" Li Dayong craned his neck to look around.
The three of them had not been looking outside for long when the car Zhou Qingyan had described came out from inside.
Liu Cuihong was pushed forward by Li Dayong to block the car.
The car stopped abruptly. Xiao Konglin got out of the car, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly rush out? We have a driving recorder. Are you trying to stage an accident at the entrance of Jin Cui Ren Jian?"
Liu Cuihong glared back at Li Dayong, who had pushed her, and while smiling and explaining to Xiao Konglin, she glanced into the car and indeed saw An An.
"An An!" As Xiao Konglin got out of the car, Li Dayong saw An An inside through the car door and excitedly shouted, "I'm Uncle Li! An An, I'm Uncle Li!"
An An heard a familiar voice, and a flicker of impatience flashed in his eyes. Qin Ning frowned and asked in a low voice, "An An knows him?"
"It's Zhaodi sister's dad. Judging by your mother's expression, An An really dislikes him!" An An said, his aversion to the man evident.
