When they arrived at the kindergarten, Li Qiyu was disappointed. Only then did she realize that this was not a garden at all, but a school.
However, in the schools of the Mu Dynasty, teachers were absolutely authoritative. Children had to sit obediently and listen to the teachings. How could it be like here, where teachers chased after the children?
Li Qiyu was extremely puzzled. Why was a school called a "garden"? It was so misleading!
As soon as Li Qiyu stepped into the kindergarten, she was nearly driven crazy by the noise.
The kindergarten teacher was very puzzled when she saw Song Jiaye and Li Qiyu bringing Li Tong here. "Why is Xiaotongtong here? Didn't Grandpa Li just call to ask for leave for Xiaotongtong?"
Song Jiaye explained, "Li Tong loves learning and wants to come to class. We brought him here and will pick him up after school."
Li Tong was very aggrieved. It was clearly his big aunt who wanted to come.
The teacher didn't know Li Qiyu, but she knew Song Jiaye. Although Song Jiaye had only come a few times, his outstanding appearance made him unforgettable at a glance.
The teacher knew that Song Jiaye was Li Tong's uncle - in - law, so she nodded reassuringly.
"Parents, don't worry. Come on, Xiaotongtong, say goodbye to your uncle and go into the classroom with the teacher."
Seeing this situation, Li Qiyu panicked.
Why was she left out?
Li Qiyu was afraid that Li Tong would leave her behind, so she quickly said, "Me too, me too."
A school was a school. It was better than staying in the cold palace anyway.
The teacher looked at Li Qiyu and then at Song Jiaye.
Song Jiaye thought that Li Qiyu just came to have a look. Who would have thought that she actually wanted to stay.
The teacher was also confused and asked, "This parent, do you have another child to enroll?"
Li Qiyu pointed at herself and said, "It's me!"
The teacher looked at Song Jiaye again. Her eyes seemed to say: Your friend must be crazy.
Song Jiaye: "..."
It turned out that Li Qiyu didn't just come to take a look. She really wanted to stay in the kindergarten.
He finally understood what Father Li's instructions meant.
Li Qiyu was dragged back into the car by Song Jiaye.
Song Jiaye didn't believe that Li Xiyu could suddenly become so stupid. He said coldly, "Li Xiyu, stop acting. You may not be ashamed, but I am!"
"Song Jiaye, you can look down on me, but you can't look down on our Li family! Ashamed? You didn't say so when you proposed to marry me!" Back then, Song Jiaye came to propose marriage, saying that she was the only woman in the world worthy of him.
Sure enough, men were two - faced and ungrateful.
Li Qiyu's words undoubtedly stepped on Song Jiaye's sore spot.
Song Jiaye did marry Li Qiyu under coercion. He needed the Li family's help and owed the Li family two lives. He had no choice but to marry Li Xiyu to repay the debt.
But that was in the past. He and Li Xiyu had an agreement in advance, thinking that they could respect each other and not interfere with each other.
But Li Xiyu's repeated humiliations had exhausted him both physically and mentally.
He was sure that Li Xiyu was acting. Her previous innocence was all an act.
He sneered coldly, "Li Xiyu, as expected of you. You're as sarcastic as ever."
Li Qiyu didn't care what she was like in his heart. She said, "Since we can't stand each other, we'd better separate earlier. Didn't you receive the divorce letter? Why come to our Li family and act as if you didn't receive it?"
Song Jiaye was a little confused about Li Xiyu sending the divorce letter at first. But hearing Li Qiyu's tone, he was almost certain.
This Li Xiyu was deliberately humiliating him.
He had been soft - hearted towards Li Xiyu before.
Now, thinking about it, he felt like a fool.
Song Jiaye said coldly to the driver with a straight face, "Drive."
"Hey, Song Jiaye, don't pretend you can't hear me. I've already given you the divorce letter. We haven't been husband and wife for a long time!"
Song Jiaye turned back and looked at her coldly.
"Li Xiyu, I'll fulfill your wish."
Song Jiaye left Li Qiyu at Xiyu Villa and then told the driver to drive away.
Li Qiyu looked at the single - family villa in front of her, full of questions.
Was this the palace in this era?
Compared with the standards of the Mu Dynasty, it was much smaller.
Moreover, there weren't many maids and eunuchs in this "palace". When she walked in, only an middle - aged woman who called herself Sister Liu greeted her.
Along the way, she only saw Sister Liu.
It was really shabby.
Sister Liu was the nanny of Xiyu Villa. Because Li Xiyu had a bad temper, several nannies had been driven away by her. So Father Li had to re - hire Li Xiyu's former wet - nurse, who had also been a nanny in the Li family for many years, to take care of Li Xiyu at Xiyu Villa.
That was Sister Liu now.
For this reason, Sister Liu had deeper feelings for Li Xiyu than for Song Jiaye. When she saw Li Xiyu come back, she burst into tears.
"Miss Xiyu, you really scared Sister Liu." As she said, she hugged Li Qiyu.
Li Qiyu was stunned.
This maid was a bit bold!
When she rushed over, Li Qiyu thought she was an assassin.
Although Li Qiyu felt very uncomfortable, she didn't push her away. She probably realized that this was the etiquette of this world. After Sister Liu stopped crying, she quietly straightened the wrinkled clothes.
After all, she was back in the "palace". She couldn't lose the dignity of the Li family.
While Li Qiyu was still trying to adapt to the new environment, Song Jiaye had already arrived downstairs of the company.
The driver, Xiao Wu, felt sorry for him when he saw his state.
"Mr. Song, I don't understand. Why do you have to compromise in the Li family? Old Mr. Song has been waiting for you to go back. As long as you..."
Song Jiaye took off his gold - rimmed glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. He said, "Let's talk about it later."
Seeing that Song Jiaye didn't want to continue this topic at all, Xiao Wu could only shake his head helplessly. After parking the car, he went to open the car door for Song Jiaye.
When getting out of the car, Song Jiaye instructed, "Don't mention my background in front of the Li family."
"Not even Miss Xichi?"
Song Jiaye gave him a cold look. Xiao Wu understood and nodded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Song."
Song Jiaye got out of the car and walked into the Li Building without looking back.
The driver, Xiao Wu, looked at Song Jiaye's back and sighed.
"He could be a young master of the Song family, but he comes to the Li family to suffer. I don't understand."
Normally, according to Song Jiaye's temper, he would definitely stay in the office to deal with official business and wouldn't go home all night. But at four o'clock in the afternoon, just as Xiao Wu was about to leave the building to buy something for Song Jiaye to eat, he received a call from Song Jiaye.
He wanted to go back to Xiyu Villa.
The workaholic Song Jiaye actually voluntarily asked to go home. Xiao Wu felt that the sun was setting in the east today.
Song Jiaye received a call from the kindergarten teacher and was going to pick up Li Tong.
However, before going home, Li Tong clamored to go to the mall to buy milk tea. Song Jiaye was quite easy - going and accompanied Li Tong to queue in the mall.
Most of the customers in the milk tea shop were young girls. When they saw Song Jiaye in a suit and tie, accompanied by a four - or five - year - old child queuing up to buy milk tea, they couldn't help whispering.
"He's so handsome."
"Yeah, and his son is so cute."
"It's a pity that such a good - looking man got married so early."
"By the way, this man looks a bit familiar. I seem to have seen him on TV."
"Could he be a star?"
