The night is dark and quiet.
Su Li couldn't fall asleep lying on the soft and wide bed.
I can’t remember how many times I’ve suffered from insomnia.
I turned my head to look at the moon outside the window. It was very beautiful, big and round. I heard that today is Mid-Autumn Festival.
I don't know what mooncakes taste like.
Su Li was lost in thought and looked at her watch. It was half past three.
He lay quietly, looking at the ceiling, his mind empty, until dawn.
Secretary Zhou Yao came very early and brought breakfast. When he opened the door, Su Li was already up.
Zhou Yao told him about today's schedule according to the timetable, which was very full and busy.
Zhou Yao hesitated after he finished speaking, "Boss, Miss Li called me yesterday and said... she hopes you can invest money to help her family's company."
"She said she would marry you as long as you were willing to invest money."
Su Li was very calm.
He ate the shrimp dumplings in silence, savoring them slowly.
Zhou Yao waited for a moment and bit his lip. "Boss, I think Miss Li is quite pitiful. She cried very sadly on the phone. Her family's company is indeed about to go bankrupt. You..."
"So I just transferred my money to him just to see what happens?" Su Li said, "I believe you know better than me whether her company is worth saving or not."
"Not only do I have to give away money for nothing, but I also have to watch her being extremely reluctant as if I was forcing her to marry me, while she's still thinking about the person she likes in her heart?"
"Zhou Yao, I'm not that mean."
Su Li looked at him with cold eyes, "I hope this is the last time."
Zhou Yao lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.
He saw everything Li Qingqing did to the boss before, how she took advantage of the boss's feelings and almost killed him, he knew it.
Zhou Yao was a little confused. Why did he suddenly feel a little bit sorry when he heard Li Qingqing's voice yesterday
I've always hated her.
Su Li ignored Zhou Yao's distraction and went to the company after breakfast.
There are many complicated tasks piled up in a day, and I also have to have lunch with the president of a cooperative company at noon.
The boss looked gentle, but between the lines he wrote he was intentionally or unintentionally belittling Su Li's background.
Su Li's expression was calm and gentle, until the boss mentioned his parents more and more complacently, then he took a tissue to wipe his mouth, "Boss Zheng, I will send someone to deliver the termination contract to your company within three days."
The boss was stunned for a moment and then his face turned cold. "Boss Su, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Please think twice."
"Xiang Xing is very capable, but we, the old companies, are not pushovers. It is not a good thing for you to be disrespectful to the elderly."
"I don't think there's any need for us to cooperate. Although Xiangxing doesn't have as much experience as your Zhenda, we can still afford to pay a small amount of liquidated damages. We will also launch new software and games in the future. I personally think they are very good. You can download them and have a look when you have time."
After saying that, he stood up and left with Zhou Yao, ignoring the boss behind him who was throwing things in frustration in the private room.
Zhou Yao knew that parents had always been a taboo for Su Li, so he did not try to persuade her.
Su Li sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed. He didn't say where he was going, and Zhou Yao waited for him quietly.
After a long while, Su Li said softly, "I had a dream."
Su Li was drowsy and felt that there was a lot of noise around her. She frowned and wanted to open her eyes, but she felt that her eyes were heavy.
He fell asleep again while struggling.
Not long after, someone called me softly.
"Little peace, little good boy~"
Su Li slowly opened his eyes and saw a kind and gentle but unfamiliar middle-aged woman above him patting his arm softly and gently.
Su Li was startled and was about to ask who she was when she was picked up.
"Are we awake safely?" Aunt Zhao held him and paced slowly in the room, "Are you hungry?"
Su Li looked at her short, fat body in silence.
Are you dreaming
It must be.
But he didn't struggle. His first reaction was, if he was still a child, if he hadn't been sent to an orphanage, would he be able to see...
Just as I thought of this, I saw the door being pushed open.
A beautiful woman with waist-length hair walked in. When she saw him, she smiled with her eyes curved, clapped her hands and walked over.
"Are you awake, Xiao Ping'an? Did you sleep well? Are you hungry? Come and let mommy hug you."
Mom...
Su Li was a little dazed, but her body subconsciously raised her arms.
The body's subconscious mind cannot deceive people, and he is very close to this woman.
Su Li lay in the woman's arms, holding her neck tightly.
Ding Sha patted his back in surprise, "Why are you acting so spoiled today, Xiao Ping An?"
As she spoke, she walked out, and Su Li saw a very beautiful and lively small courtyard.
It is planted with large, brightly colored flowers, there is a swing on the tree, and cute wooden animal carvings can be seen everywhere.
A chubby tabby cat and its two kittens ran after the woman. Aunt Zhao took a pile of small mattresses and started washing and drying them.
Su Li buried his head in her shoulders in the sun and reached out to hug the woman tighter.
It's mom...
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The woman opened the curtain and walked into the kitchen. There were two men standing side by side in the kitchen with their backs to them. The woman walked straight towards a broad and strong figure, "Ah Jun."
Su Li heard it, he turned his head and stared at the man. The man had a resolute and handsome face, which was 70% similar to his face when he was an adult.
The man wiped the sweat off his face. He was cutting something when he saw his wife and child coming over. He went to wash his hands before bringing his son over.
"My dear son, do you miss your daddy?"
Unlike a woman's soft and warm embrace, a man's arms feel a little uncomfortable, but they are full of security.
Su Li hugged the man tightly again.
Even if it was just a dream, he wanted to stay a little longer.
He stayed in the arms of the man and woman the whole day, hugging their necks lingeringly and refusing to let go.
Until the evening, the woman coaxed him to sleep, but the child's body could not hold on for long, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
His fingers were still pulling at the woman's sleeve, hoping to be by her side when he woke up again.
But when I woke up, there was only a dark and heavy night.
A big, empty, quiet house.
Not lively at all, not popular at all.
Su Li was immersed in such a gap and couldn't wake up.
The dream was so real that he really thought he was the little boy named Xiao Ping'an, who had a loving father and mother.
Su Li leaned in the back seat and thought about the dream. Whenever he took a rest, he couldn't help but think about the dream. The huge sense of loss and confusion made him feel very depressed.
Zhou Yao didn't know why he looked so sad. When he asked him what he dreamed about, he just stared blankly and didn't say anything.
Zhou Yao blinked, "Shall we go, boss?"
"Let's go."
"Where are you going? The company?"
"No, take me home."
"go home?"
"Well, I want to get some sleep."
