Li's mother spoke gently from the side.
"Don't say that. You have to come back with me. You've spent your whole life running around; you'll just die at home when you're old."
Hearing that the two of them had already talked to this point, Li Dawei quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, come home early, I'm still here."
Li's mother looked at Li Yisheng with deep affection, as if he were a naughty child.
“We’ve raised you, that’s my responsibility. The rest of the time belongs to your father and me.”
When Li Dawei saw his mother, he could tell that she was genuinely happy, which brought him comfort.
It was almost time, so he returned to shore and watched the cruise ship sail into the distance.
When he rejoined the group, it was already evening. Wu Mingcheng, Zhao Jiwei, Yang Shu, Xia Jie, and others were gathered around a dinner table.
The group exchanged glances, clearly not in a good mood, and they knew what had happened.
Li Dawei suddenly stopped and spoke.
"I want a beer,"
Zhao Jiwei exclaimed in surprise from the side.
"Ah, I've never bought any alcohol. I could be on duty at any time, how could I possibly have the chance to drink?"
Xia Jie spoke up.
"I'd like to have a drink too,"
Everyone turned their attention to Wu Mingcheng, the leader of their gang, waiting for him to speak.
Wu Mingcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. When did he become the scapegoat?
He nodded to the crowd.
"Alright, we haven't gotten together for days anyway, let's have a drink, we're off work now."
Yang Shu then stood up.
"Today's special, I'll go get the wine,"
Wu Mingcheng called out to him.
"By the way, Yang Shu, add a few more dishes. These few dishes aren't enough for our drinks."
A lot had happened today, so everyone started toasting and drinking. Before long, several bottles of beer were gone.
After a few drinks, Zhao Jiwei spoke up.
"Dawei, your mom is really rich, taking your dad and his wife on a cruise vacation."
Li Dawei shook his head and said,
"What money does she have? She works in earthwork construction; she earns a considerable amount, which is quite well-off for us."
But my dad is there, like he can predict the future, and he knows exactly when my mom will save up some money.
He came back poor and sick, drowning in debt. My mother took out all her money without saying a word.
He couldn't say it this time. I thought my mom would be able to save the money she earned this time, but I didn't expect this..."
Zhao Jiwei was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.
"Huh? Your mom's going to spend all her savings on a cruise ship?"
Li Dawei said with a wry smile.
"I reckon she won't come back until she's spent all the money,"
Zhao Jiwei couldn't help but sigh,
"My God, are you trying to ruin your life? You're going on that trip, but you won't get any food or drink. What if your dad really passes away? You two still have to live your lives."
Yang Shu deeply admired Li Dawei's mother's courage and said sincerely,
"Li Dawei, your mother is truly amazing,"
Li Dawei shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Is that all she's got? She's devoted her whole life to my dad. I really don't understand what she loves about him."
Wu Mingcheng, however, felt that Li's mother was truly remarkable, and that her love for Li Dawei's father was extremely deep.
He then spoke.
"I think that's precisely what makes your mother so remarkable; she loves your father as a person."
It's truly admirable to let your dad love you in the way that's most free and comfortable for him.
Most women talk about love all the time, but when it comes to daily life, they find that earning money to support the family is more important than love.
Even the deepest feelings won't withstand the test of time if you meet someone rich and powerful again.
"There are almost no women like your mother who only value people and are willing to do so," (Norde's)
After listening, Li Dawei sighed and said...
"Sigh, I'd rather my mom hadn't met someone like my dad, then she wouldn't have had to suffer so much."
Wu Mingcheng then smiled.
"If they hadn't met, you wouldn't exist. And even if your dad had all sorts of problems,..."
But you can't comment on how he treats your mother; only your mother has the right to speak on that.
Li Dawei nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, so I just don't care anymore, as long as they're happy."
Xia Jie had been listening to them pour out their hearts without saying a word until now, when she finally spoke.
"That's right. If you feel your mom is having a hard time, then try to make things easier for her and spend more time with her in the future."
Li Dawei nodded silently.
Chapter 489 Jiajia is in trouble
The next day, on their way back from their mission, Chen Xincheng and his team...
Just then, Chen Xincheng's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID...
He answered the phone quickly.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Whatever was being said on the phone, Chen Xincheng's expression instantly changed.
He covered the phone and spoke to Li Dawei.
"Dawei, pull over for a second, I need to take this call,"
Li Dawei was also stunned at this moment.
"Ah, Master, okay,"
After saying that, Li Dawei parked his car on the side of the road, while Chen Xincheng walked to the side with his phone in his hand.
Seeing that he suddenly became tense and was saying something agitated, Li Dawei and Wu Mingcheng couldn't help but feel worried.
Li Dawei inquired.
"Mingcheng, has something serious happened?"
Wu Mingcheng guessed,
"Something must have happened to Uncle Chen's family. Let's ask them about it later."
After Chen Xincheng finished his phone call, he hurriedly got into the car. Li Dawei couldn't help but ask him anxiously.
"Master, please go and take care of what you need to do. I'll go back on my own. If you need any help, just let me know, and Mingcheng and I will do our best to assist you."
Chen Xincheng's face was ashen, showing that he was extremely agitated.
"Drive the 910 car quickly, I'm in police uniform, don't ask any more questions,"
Seeing Chen Xincheng's flustered expression, Wu Mingcheng first spoke to Li Dawei,
"Stop talking, just drive to the station quickly,"
Then, he turned to Chen Xincheng, whose face was grim, and said...
"Uncle Chen, no matter what happens, don't panic, you must stay calm."
Didn't you always tell us that panicking solves nothing? Things can always be resolved.
Hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Chen Xincheng's mood calmed down a little, although he was still somewhat anxious.
After returning to the station, Chen Xincheng changed his clothes as quickly as possible and went downstairs, where Wu Mingcheng was waiting for him.
Wu Mingcheng spoke up,
"Uncle Chen, I won't ask what happened. Just give me a call immediately if you need any help, and I'll be there right away."
Chen Xincheng nodded at Li Dawei.
"Mingcheng, it's nothing. Something came up at home. Gao is covering my shift tonight. You two can stay with him for now."
