After Sister Jin resigned, things at home gradually became too busy. Fortunately, Li Wei's maternity leave was not over yet. She could take care of the child. Liu Chunzhi helped with the housework. When the weather got a little warmer, Li Wei could go out for shopping and take care of the baby. The children went out to bask in the sun.
Tang Shiyun had a rest that day, so she asked Li Wei to come out for a small gathering, and Li Wei brought her daughter with her. Tang Shiyun had not seen Fu Jia for several days and liked him very much.
Shiyun showed Li Wei the diamond engagement ring. The ring was very sparkling. Li smiled and said, "I thought the second brother was not enlightened. I didn't expect him to be enlightened."
"Yes, we have discussed it and plan to hold a simple engagement ceremony first and then get married at the end of the year. When he asked me where to choose for our honeymoon, I wanted to go to an island in Southeast Asia, and he said yes."
"You're getting married at the end of the year? Why is it taking so long?"
Tang Shiyun said: "That's fine, I don't care about these few months."
The matter was finally settled, and it was indeed within a few months.
"Has the date for the engagement been set?"
"Not yet. He has been a little busy recently, and the company has new projects coming up. I may also be busy for a while. Let's wait until after this period to make a decision. Anyway, the things that have been decided can't go away."
The two chatted for a while, and then talked about Zhao Qian's current movie. Tang Shiyun said: "I have already watched it three times. I am completely impressed by Zhao Qian's personal charm. His success is completely due to It’s convincing.”
Seeing Tang Shiyun's smitten look on her face, Li Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "There were two fans of his in the dormitory back then. You didn't treat him politely at that time. Why are you obsessed with them now?"
"I don't know. Maybe I was too arrogant at the beginning. I don't have a high emotional intelligence, and I'm not too interested in things other than myself. But Li Wei, when I met you, I always felt that many things were slowly changing. It has changed. This change was brought to me by you. It has been like this since that competition. Although I won the first place, I was very impressed by your painting, and you were also impressed by your first place. It makes sense. Anyway, I feel very happy to have a friend like you. Thank you for protecting me before, and thank you for letting me know your second brother.”
Li Wei pursed his lips and smiled: "This may be God's will."
Seeing Tang Shiyun's happy expression, Li Wei secretly wondered whether his second brother had told Shiyun about Qi Jingzhen's story, and whether he had told Shiyun the truth about how he was just the adopted son of the Li family.
One day not long after, Li Wei asked Li Jianbo for confirmation on this matter, but Li Jianbo said with an indifferent expression: "I have no contact with the Qi family anymore, and there is nothing to talk about. I consider myself a member of the Li family, and I will be that way for the rest of my life."
"Then you really don't plan to tell? Do you want to hide it from her for the rest of your life?"
Li Jianbo smiled: "It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter whether she knows or not."
When Li Wei saw her second brother saying this, she didn't bother with the matter anymore. She had trusted her most since she was a child. He had his reasons for not telling her, so why should she make trouble again.
The movie that Zhao Qian invested in and starred in was well received and the box office performance was gratifying. Li Wei called Zhao Qian and congratulated him.
Zhao Qian said on the phone: "Thank you for your support."
"I haven't made much effort for you. You have earned all this by yourself. But the box office is good, so your debt should be paid off soon."
"It's almost done. I want to take a good rest after filming the movie I'm working on. I saw the photo of your daughter you sent. She looks better and better as she grows older. From the look of her eyes, she is from our Zhao family. Much like the Ninth Princess from before.”
Li Wei held the phone and said to Zhao Qian: "Zhao Qian, promise me, no matter what Fu Jia looks like in the future, I hope she can go to school normally, work normally, and be an ordinary person like an ordinary child. Man, I don’t want her to enter the entertainment industry.”
Zhao Qian is from this circle and has seen more of the dark side of the entertainment industry than anyone else. He feels sorry for his daughter and definitely doesn’t want her to follow his path again. He and Li Wei promised: "Well, I also have the same intention. We will work hard Raise her to be a gentle and strong girl.”
At least on this point they were on the same page.
Li Wei walked out of the study. Liu Chunzhi was sitting on the sofa holding little Fu Jia. When she saw Li Wei coming out, she smiled and asked, "When will my uncle come back?"
Li Wei was a little confused and hurriedly said: "I forgot to ask him."
"You've been forgetful lately, and everything you do is careless. If you don't change this, how can you go back to work?"
Li Wei laughed at himself: "Maybe the pregnancy is not over yet."
"I think you are really getting more and more stupid." Liu Chunzhi handed her granddaughter to Li Wei, thinking that the soup was still simmering in the pot. Li Wei took his daughter, and as soon as Xiao Fujia saw his mother's face, he smiled at Li Wei. When Li Wei saw her daughter's smile, all her unhappiness immediately dissipated. She kissed her daughter's soft little face, her heart filled with sweetness.
Zhao Qian's film has been well received in China, and it is said that it is also performing well in foreign markets. Perhaps by the end of the year or early next year, he will be able to compete for various international awards with this film.
No matter what happens in the end, it is also an affirmation of his film career over the years. Effort pays back.
His contract will expire next year, so even if he has to retire, he won't have many regrets about his acting career.
"Fujia, dad works very hard. He will definitely get what he wants, right?"
Little Fujia couldn't respond to her mother in words. She just smiled at her mother. Looking at her daughter's smile, Li Wei was already very satisfied.
After Sister Jin left, many people in the family were not used to it. Li Wei is still thinking about finding a reliable helper. She can still help out at home now, but when the vacation is over, how will she be able to keep herself busy when her mother is the only one left at home. She personally went to the housekeeping company to select people, and she kept selecting them. Either one job was inappropriate here or another job wasn't suitable there. In the end, Sister Gao from the Tang family helped introduce someone.
The newly recruited nanny is a woman under forty, can drive, and is certified as a nutritionist. It’s totally okay to help make Fujia’s food supplement in the future.
He is diligent, conscientious and careful in his work, and does not talk too much. I can't fault it other than the price.
However, as expensive as you are, Li Wei readily agreed to the other party's request, and the two parties signed an employment contract, establishing a legal relationship.
When Liu Chunzhi heard that the new nanny was offering a salary of 5,000 a month, she hurriedly found her daughter to discuss: "Why hire such an expensive nanny? I can still help."
"Expensive comes with expensive things. I quite like what she does. Our family can afford five thousand a month, so let's do this for now. Besides, the contract has been signed, how can we still break the contract? Mom, I just don't want you to be so Tired. You are old and you have no time to take care of the children. If you continue like this, your eldest brother and your second brother will blame me."
