Song Jiaye didn't understand why such a simple thing needed to be said twice.
"I said, okay," Song Jiaye promised seriously again.
Only later did Li Xiyu realize that her goal had been achieved. She was very puzzled. What was going on? Wasn't he dead set against it before?
She thought that if she had known it was this easy, she should have just said she wanted him to go in the first place.
What a waste of breath.
Li Xiyu was organizing a family trip and choosing the capital as the destination. It was like throwing a stone into the water and causing a thousand ripples.
Naturally, Li Tong was the first to raise both hands in approval. He was of course happy to go on a trip with his aunt, uncle, mom, and dad.
Ming Yuezhu didn't seem very willing, but Li Xiyu had Ming Yuexuan as a great helper. The day before they set off, Ming Yuezhu finally made up her mind to go to the capital with everyone.
In the evening, Ming Yuexuan came to help Li Xiyu pack.
"Aren't you going to ask if Jiang Yongfeng and Li Xichi are going? What if they refuse? Then wouldn't this trip of yours be in vain?"
Li Xiyu shook her head with a smile and said, "Do you know the dodder flower?"
"Sure."
"The dodder flower lives by clinging to a big tree. Without my dad, that big tree, they won't have a way out. Do you think they'll not go?"
If what Ming Yuexuan said was true, Jiang Yongfeng would definitely not let Li Xiyu go on a trip with her family alone, leaving them behind and getting on good terms with her family.
She would surely keep an eye on them.
Ming Yuexuan gave Li Xiyu a thumbs - up. She hugged the clothes and looked at Li Xiyu, sighing, "You're really so different from before."
Of course she was different. There were two different personalities in her body.
Li Xiyu answered in her heart.
But on the surface, she just laughed it off. "How am I different? I'm still me."
"No, you've grown up. I think you're better than before. You know how to fight back and how to protect yourself better."
You know, before, Ming Yuexuan was always on tenterhooks. She was so afraid that Li Xiyu would do something stupid. She had set Li Xiyu's phone number as a special incoming call reminder and always kept her phone on for Li Xiyu. As long as Li Xiyu needed her, she would surely be there in a flash. She watched Li Xiyu suffer and sink, but as a best friend, she could only feel anxious.
Now, seeing her grow and mature, although her cognitive ability might be not as good as before, at least her mind was much more mature than before.
Just like a phoenix, after rising from the ashes, it was a new life.
Ming Yuexuan sighed. When she turned around, she found Li Xiyu playing with the pull - rod suitcase. She pulled out and put in the pull - rod of the suitcase, having a great time like a little kid.
Well, she had overestimated Li Xiyu.
She was still just a little kid.
This was a big family with quite a few people. When they were queuing up to check tickets at the airport, they formed a small team.
As soon as Li Xiyu entered the airport, she was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She looked up at the ceiling of the airport and tugged at Song Jiaye's sleeve.
"It's so high!"
How on earth did they build it so high?
Although Li Xiyu was the initiator of the family trip, the executor was Song Jiaye. After all, they couldn't let someone who didn't even know what an airplane was book the tickets and arrange the itinerary.
So Song Jiaye and Li Yuanhua were going through the luggage security check and didn't have time to answer Li Xiyu.
Li Xiyu watched the suitcases being put on the security belt and quietly asked Li Tong.
"Are our suitcases being eaten by the monster? Will they spit them out for us?"
Li Tong had taken a plane before and answered seriously, "Yes!"
"That's good."
"Auntie, aren't you afraid of the monster now?"
"Not anymore." Li Xiyu pointed at Song Jiaye who was bustling around, "Now we have Ultraman."
"Yeah," Li Tong nodded heavily.
Li Tong had a stomachache, so he went to find Ming Yuezhu to take him to the toilet. Li Xiyu was alone and couldn't help with anything. Bored, she met an acquaintance.
"Fellow - townsman?!"
Lu Xingqi was now a bit of a rising star. He was so afraid of being recognized that he wore a cap and sunglasses, covering himself up tightly.
But he didn't expect that his disguise was seen through by Li Xiyu at a glance.
Lu Xingqi was also very surprised to see Li Xiyu here. This time, he could raise both hands and swear that he really hadn't inquired about Li Xiyu's news. He just heard that Song Jiaye was very interested in the ancient tomb unearthed last year and might make a movie about the life of the tomb owner. Recently, the information about that ancient tomb would be on display in the Capital Museum, so he wanted to go and have a look to get some information first.
He of course knew that Song Jiaye didn't like him, but what if? It was always good to be prepared.
Lu Xingqi was very happy to see Li Xiyu. This time he was smarter. As soon as he saw Li Xiyu, he asked to add her on WeChat. After becoming friends, they started chatting.
"Are you going on a trip?"
Li Xiyu nodded, "Yeah."
"Where to?"
"The capital."
They had the same destination. When they checked the flight numbers, they were the same too.
Lu Xingqi immediately felt something was wrong. He sent a message to his agent.
"I saw Miss Li. What's going on? I'm on the same flight as them?"
The agent replied instantly, "I've spent a great deal of effort to get their flight information."
"Didn't I tell you not to do such things? Song Jiaye already doesn't like me. If you keep doing this, I'll get blacklisted."
"Who cares if Song Jiaye likes you? If he leaves the Li Corporation, he'll just be a nobody. I've long heard that they're getting a divorce. You should seize the opportunity."
"Are you asking me to latch onto a sugar daddy?"
"Yeah," the agent didn't beat around the bush.
Lu Xingqi: "..."
Seeing Lu Xingqi's expression getting more and more solemn as they chatted, Li Xiyu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Only then did Lu Xingqi remember that Li Xiyu was still there. He quickly put away his phone and forced a laugh.
"Nothing, nothing. But, I only see you here. Isn't Mr. Song with you?"
"No. They're over there feeding the monster with suitcases."
"Feeding the monster?" Lu Xingqi looked in the direction Li Xiyu was pointing and asked doubtfully, "Where? I don't see it."
"Huh?" Li Xiyu looked back and only then realized that Song Jiaye and Li Yuanhua, who had been standing not far behind her, had disappeared.
She panicked instantly.
Where did they go?
At the same time, only later did Song Jiaye realize that he had lost his little tail when he was checking tickets and entering the VIP channel.
After Li Xiyu's reminder, the Li family members finally found that Li Xiyu was missing. Suddenly, everyone panicked. There were so many people coming and going in the airport. Li Xiyu still hadn't regained her memory. Where on earth could she have gone alone?
