Li Wei arrived at the meeting place on time. This time she took little Fujia with her when she went out, hoping to let the little guy get more exposure to the outside world.
Tang Shiyun was about ten minutes later than the agreed time.
From the call last night, Li Wei guessed that Tang Shiyun was not affected much. As expected, his thoughts were confirmed when he saw Tang Shiyun's face beaming with joy.
Tang Shiyun took the initiative to help Li Wei hold the baby, but her technique was still not very skilled.
"You can lift her head without arms. Her neck can be fully erect. She likes to be held vertically, but she won't accept it if held horizontally."
Tang Shiyun immediately changed his posture, and sure enough, Xiao Fujia was obviously much more relaxed.
"Children grow up so fast."
"Yes, she will be 100 days old in a few days."
"Are you going to hold a hundred-day banquet?"
"There aren't many friends and relatives here, so I have no plans for the time being."
Tang Shiyun smiled and said: "Then I should take a set of commemorative photos for her. Have you contacted a good photography studio?"
"Yes, we've contacted you."
"Let's simply get together then, and I'll prepare a gift for the child."
They were very relaxed and happy talking about little Fujia, but Li Wei knew in his heart that Tang Shiyun did not ask her out just to discuss Fujia's 100-day banquet with her.
"Second brother later explained the situation to you, right?"
"Absolutely. Jianbo doesn't want to go to the United States, right?"
"Looking at it now, do you support his decision?"
Tang Shiyun touched the child's tender face and said, "I can't influence his decision, but I will support him in whatever he does."
"But Sister Qi and my mother both hope that he can return to Aunt Qi. It is said that Aunt Qi's illness is very serious and she will not have long left. She just hopes to see her son in the last stage of her life and then explain to her son About the funeral."
"His mother...I said she was his biological mother. Did she get married later?"
Li Wei shook his head and said: "No, she has worked hard all her life in a foreign country and is a truly career-oriented woman. I have met her a few times and admire her very much."
"What kind of woman is that aunt?"
"Competent, and then a little arbitrary. In fact, capable people have some temperament in this regard."
"How big is that aunt's industry in the United States?"
Li Wei said: "I have never asked my second brother about this, because I feel that this matter has nothing to do with me, and there is no point in asking so much, but it is not trivial to think about it. Auntie is in the foreign trade business. In addition to the United States, she also has her own business in Europe. industry."
"Jianbo is the old lady's only son and the only heir to these properties."
"That's true, but the second brother is not keen on inheriting the family business. He prefers to be a doctor who can cure diseases and save people."
"The old lady asked him to come back to her. In addition to being able to see her son before she died, she also planned to hand over all these properties to Jianbo's hands, right?"
"That's pretty much it."
"Then if he goes to the United States, he won't be able to come back in a year or two." Tang Shiyun felt a little desolate again.
"Second brother making such a choice means that he has to give up everything he has now."
Tang Shiyun listened to these words quietly. It can be imagined that this is such a huge fortune. Is Li Jianbo really not moved at all
"He shouldn't refuse, both emotionally and rationally."
"Second brother may have different ideas than ordinary people. He cherishes the present more than anyone else. Shiyun, everything today is earned by himself. He cannot give up just because he wants to. His reputation and status are all It’s achieved through one’s own efforts.”
"I understand. These years have been difficult for him, and it's precisely because of this that I like him."
The meeting between the two was very brief, lasting only an hour. Later, because Shiyun was busy with something, the two ended in a hurry.
Shiyun finally understood what Li Jianbo meant by "I don't want to be separated from you" from the information Li Wei added. If Li Jianbo decides to go to the United States, the two may no longer be able to be together. The United States is too far away, and she also has her own ties, and she can no longer follow him.
Tang Shiyun was driving her car, and a piece of music was playing on the traffic radio. She had heard this song before, so she started humming along with it.
"I want to do something for you, something to make you happier, so that I can bury my name in your heart..." There was no one else in the car, and Tang Shiyun had no worries. She hummed along until she reached "I love you so much." I love you very much, so I am willing to let you fly to a more happy place..." The next few lines of lyrics were swirling in my throat, and I couldn't sing them out.
Tang Shiyun pulled over and stopped the car. She leaned on the steering wheel and cried.
Qi Jingyi was still waiting anxiously for Li Jianbo to change his mind, and Liu Chunzhi also tried hard to persuade Li Jianbo to make the right decision quickly. Li Jianbo did not respond. He still met Tang Shiyun normally and also visited Tang Ze. Tang Ze mentioned the engagement. Li Jianbo promised: "I will discuss it with my mother and see when everyone is free. The day is set."
Tang Shiyun invited Li Jianbo to sit in her room, and she played the piano for Li Jianbo. Li Jianbo was sitting there listening to the piano music, but his mind was already wandering to nowhere.
"Li Wei said you can play the violin. I just found one. Can you play it for me?"
Tang Shiyun took out a violin. Li Jianbo hesitated, but he still took it. He asked Tang Shiyun: "What do you want to hear?"
"Anything is fine, just play the music you are best at."
Li Jianbo didn't think about it, he played the most familiar note. During the difficult years when Li Wei was unconscious, he was the one who wanted to wake her up with the sound of the piano in front of Li Wei's bed every day. "Butterfly" has become his most played song.
This time, she was his audience. Li Jianbo was very involved, and Tang Shiyun listened attentively.
This is a fragment from Butterfly Lovers, and it is also the most representative piece of music. In the middle, Tang Shiyun pressed the keys and followed Li Jianbo's violin sound. This was their first collaboration.
At the end of the song, Tang Shiyun gave great praise to Li Jianbo's piano skills: "I didn't expect that the hand holding the scalpel could play such beautiful music."
"It's just a bit of a hobby, it's ridiculous."
Tang Shiyun stared into Li Jianbo's eyes. Li Jianbo felt a little uncomfortable being looked at directly by her like this.
"how?"
"I feel like there are stars in your eyes."
Li Jianbo smiled, walked over, gently rubbed Tang Shiyun's hair, and then kissed her forehead. His manner was so gentle.
"Jianbo, let's break up."
Time froze at this moment. Li Jianbo looked at Tang Shiyun blankly. He thought there was something wrong with his ears.
