The film and television city starts from the courtyard

On this day, Li Er was working in a cake shop.

After the phone rang, I saw that it was Zhao Shucheng calling, and I answered it excitedly.

"Hey, Xu Yi!"

"Li Er, when do you get off work? I'll pick you up."

"seven thirty."

"It's so late. I was thinking about having dinner together. Otherwise, tell your manager to leave work early today."

Li Er asked curiously: "Why? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Yes, there is something, and it's a good thing. It's hard to explain over the phone, I'll tell you when I get there."

Having said that, Zhao Shucheng hung up the phone without waiting for Li Er to refuse.

Li Er looked at his phone, a little hesitant, not knowing what the good thing Zhao Shucheng was talking about was.

Seeing Li Er like this, Lin Lin asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Xu Yi just called me and said he would pick me up from get off work, and he had some good news to share with me."

"Hey, there's no point in thinking so much now. Fat Bear, Li Er has something to do today so he has to leave early. Can you give him some leave?"

"Okay, there aren't many people in the store right now anyway, Li Er can leave first."

Fat Bear actually wanted Li Er to leave earlier, so that he and Lin Lin would be the only ones left in the store, and the two of them could spend more time alone. He actually always liked Lin Lin, but he never dared to confess his feelings, and even dared not let Lin Lin know. Just seeing her every day was enough.

In the afternoon, Li Er saw Zhao Shucheng's car parked outside the cake shop. After saying something to Lin Lin and Fat Bear, he ran out.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Why are you running? There's no need to rush."

"I'm not in a hurry. By the way, what good news do you have for me?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "The company is already on the right track, and has just completed angel round investments with several start-ups. The future is promising."

"That's great."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "So to celebrate our victory in the first battle, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Li Er hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Bala? Isn't she going with us?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Ba La is now successful and famous. Her grandmother happened to be unwell, so she returned to Dongshan this morning. It can be regarded as a glorious return home."

In fact, what Zhao Shucheng didn’t say was that Li Bala went back this time not only because of her grandmother, but also because her mother Shuangqing also returned to Dongshan to live.

Li Bala heard from her cousin Asi that her mother came back not only by herself but also with a two-year-old yellow boy. It was said that her mother had divorced her former foreign husband and was almost left with nothing.

Although Li Bala hated her mother for abandoning her, she also knew that her mother had been sending her living expenses all these years. So when her mother encountered difficulties now, she naturally could not pretend that she knew nothing. So she went back to her hometown to visit her mother and gave her some money so that she would not have to worry about life problems.

Li Er was actually a little happy to hear that Li Bala was not going, as this could be considered their first time spending time alone together. Especially when they returned home at night, Li Bala was not at home, so could they sleep together?

In fact, until now, she felt that being with Zhao Shucheng was like a dream, but they never took the next step, which made Li Er hope that she would never wake up from such a beautiful dream.

Liking Xu Yi was once her youthful dream during her student days, but when Zhao Shucheng really got together with her, she was always worried and anxious, so she didn't mind the appearance of Li Bala, and in fact, only in this way could Li Er feel that she was worthy of him.

Zhao Shucheng drove Li Er to a high-end restaurant. It was a novel experience for Li Er, after all, she had never been there before.

Zhao Shucheng ordered the dishes skillfully and then asked the waiter to leave.

Li Er looked at the prices on the menu and said in astonishment: "Xu Yi, the food here is too expensive, isn't it? A small piece of salmon costs 308 yuan, and a glass of water is 50 yuan. Let's go to another restaurant."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's expensive for a reason. Besides, I'm treating you, so don't worry about the money. Besides, you should have a lot of savings from publishing your novels now, so you don't have to be as calculating as before. You should get used to spending money instead of becoming a slave to it."

Li Er said: "But..."

"It's okay, Li Er. You have to learn to change like this. You are no longer a high school student, nor are you a penniless person. You are now a well-known writer, with millions in savings. You will buy a house in Shanghai in the future."

Zhao Shucheng said, noticing that Li Er was a little unnatural, and said with a smile: "Okay, give me your hand!"

"what?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "I'll give you a gift!"

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng took out a jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to Li Er.

After Li Er took it, he opened it curiously and took a look, then looked at Zhao Shucheng with some surprise.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Do you like it?"

"I like it!" Li Er looked at the diamond earrings and said hesitantly, "But it should be very expensive, right? Why not return it?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "What are you talking about? Don't you want the gift I gave you?"

"That's not what I meant. I just don't have anything to wear."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's even easier. After dinner, we'll go shopping in the mall and find clothes that will suit you. Little Ear, don't reject me."

After hearing this, Li Er blushed and lowered her head, silently putting away the jewelry box.

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "That's right, little ear. We are lovers, and I make money for my woman to spend. Don't be embarrassed, or I'll be sad."

After dinner, Zhao Shucheng drove away with Li Er.

Li Er suddenly realized that this was not the way home, and asked in surprise: "Xu Yi, this is not the way home, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not. You've been with me for a while, but you haven't met my parents yet, so I'll take you to meet them today." Li Er got nervous when he heard this and said, "Ah, are we meeting today? But I haven't prepared anything, and I'm wearing my work clothes, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"That's why I took you to the mall to buy clothes first, and you can wear them directly when the time comes. They are all very nice people, you don't have to be nervous."

Having said that, Li Er was still a little uneasy, worried that Zhao Shucheng's parents didn't like her. After all, Li Er knew that her left ear was hard of hearing, and if Xu Yi's parents knew about it, they would definitely dislike it and ask Zhao Shucheng to break up with her.

So in the following time, Li Er was pushed around by Zhao Shucheng the whole time, choosing clothes and changing clothes.

When Li Er came to his senses, he had already been taken by Zhao Shucheng to Xu Yi's parents' home.

Zhao Shucheng took Li Er's hand and said, "Mom and Dad, this is Li Er, my girlfriend."

Li Er greeted them politely: "Hello, uncle, hello, auntie, I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts."

Although Zhuang Meijuan and Xu Ruiyang had known for a long time that their son had a girlfriend and lived with Li Bala and the others, when they actually saw Li Er, they had a very good first impression of him.

This little girl has a pretty face and a simple temperament. She is a well-behaved and sensible girl. I don't know what means my son used to make such a little girl follow him, and even not mind having other women.

"Okay, okay, sit down, come and sit down." Zhuang Meijuan happily pulled Li Er to sit down, and then asked Zhao Shucheng to pour tea for Li Er.

Li Er was a little restless and said, "How about I go?"

"No need, you are a guest, and this is your first time here. You don't know where to put your things, so let Xu Yi go!"

Zhao Shucheng did not refuse. He knew that they would definitely ask Li Er questions while he was away, so he simply waited for a while to give them enough time.

Sure enough, after Zhao Shucheng left, Zhuang Meijuan immediately started to interrogate him like checking a household registration, asking him where his home was, how old he was, who was in his family, what school he went to, how he knew Zhao Shucheng, etc.

Li Er naturally answered every question. If he hadn't been sober, he might have directly said that they were just in a simple relationship and had not slept together yet.

When Zhuang Meijuan found out that Li Er was also from Dongshan, and even went to the same high school as Zhao Shucheng, just one grade lower, and was a senior at Tongji University, she had an even better impression of Li Er.

Although Li Bala also obtained a diploma from Fudan Night University, in her eyes, it was not a formal college entrance examination. In addition, she had lived with Zhao Shucheng at an early age, so she had some prejudice against him.

Now when I see Li Er, I know that Li Er entered the university through the college entrance examination and has always been clean, I am naturally more satisfied. He is simply Yao Huan Yu Er.

Xu Ruiyang also had a good impression of Li Er. This girl was not only beautiful, but also spoke softly. She looked gentle and considerate. Although his son was a playboy, he had to admit that he had a good eye for choosing women.

Although Li Er's parents were just ordinary working class people, without any power or wealth, Xu Ruiyang didn't mind at all. He might have thought about marrying Zhao Shucheng to expand his family's business. But after knowing Zhao Shucheng's own business plan, he had to admit that he couldn't compare with him, and his son no longer needed such means to develop his business.

So now he doesn't care what kind of girlfriend his son finds. His only hope is probably that his son will give him a grandson as soon as possible so that he can also enjoy the company of his grandson sooner.

At this time, Zhao Shucheng came out with a teapot and teacup and said, "Mom and Dad, Li Er, have some tea!"

While pouring tea for everyone, he said with a smile: "Don't look at Li Er like this, she is now a well-known writer and has published several novels."

"Really? Li Er is also a talented woman, that's amazing."

Li Er said shyly: "No, in fact, I can write because of Xu Yi's words. He suggested that I write on the Internet and publish it after I become famous."

"That's amazing too. If you have time, please bring us your masterpiece so your aunt and I can take a look."

Hearing Xu Ruiyang say this, Li Er became even more shy and said, "Okay, uncle. But the novels I write are all campus romances, which may not suit your appetite. I hope that uncle and aunt will not laugh at me when the time comes."

"No way, that's what young people should do. If you write about social reality or whining, your novel won't be liked by people."

Xu Ruiyang and Zhuang Meijuan were both very satisfied with Li Er, so when Li Er was about to leave, they took the initiative to see him off.

"Li Er, be nice to our Xu Yi. If he dares to bully you, come to us and we will take care of it for you."

"Auntie, Xu Yi has always taken good care of me. He won't bully me."

"Okay, take care of each other, take care of each other!"

Perhaps because he had already met his parents, Li Er felt that their relationship had taken a step further, so he was suddenly not so averse to Zhao Shucheng's intimate behavior.

After the two returned to the apartment, Li Er lowered his head and said, "I'm going to take a shower first, you can wait a while before taking a shower."

Zhao Shucheng naturally knew what Li Er's words meant. He smiled and asked Li Er to go first. He then called Li Bala to ask about the situation.

In fact, Li Bala had just returned not long ago. She went to visit her grandmother first. After seeing that her grandmother was in good health and nothing serious happened, she felt relieved.

But when he saw his mother, especially the little boy in her arms, Li Bala didn't know how to face her.

After all, my younger brother is so much younger than me. If it were in ancient times, after I got married and had children, this little boy would probably be about the same age as my son.

Shuang Qing was somewhat surprised that her daughter would come to see her. In fact, she didn't know how to face her daughter, especially the child in her arms and the awkward relationship between her and her daughter.

Li Bala finally accepted the result, hugged her brother, and asked, "Mom, what's your brother's name?"

"Xu Zhongyi!"

Li Bala was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought that her mother was talking about something. When she saw her mother handing over her brother's ID, she realized that her mother was not talking about Xu Yi, but her brother's name.

"So, the stepfather you found for me is named Xu?"

Shuang Qing smiled awkwardly. After all, it was just a moment of pleasure. But she never thought that at her age, when she thought she couldn't get pregnant, she would give birth to such a small child.

Zhao Shucheng and Li Er had no idea about what was going on with Li Bala. After taking a shower, they went to the room together. After some persuasion, Zhao Shucheng finally succeeded in winning Li Er over and making her truly his woman.

Li Er didn't expect that he and Zhao Shucheng would reach this point so soon or so late. He originally thought that he would be like Li Bala soon after moving in, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng had endured for so many years without touching him.

But she didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt as if she had been hit by a dump truck. Her whole body ached and she couldn't get up at all. She could only fall into a deep sleep. (End of this chapter)
