My buildings have attributes

"Yes, that's right. But it's okay. In the future, if you hear me have something to tell you, don't be so curious or surprised. That way, nothing will happen." Mrs. Chen quickly reminded her.

Li Lili was utterly incredulous upon hearing this. She began to wonder what Chen's mother meant. Was she preemptively telling herself that nothing Chen's mother said would matter anymore?

"Oh, I think I understood a little bit of what you said, it's like you understand right from wrong. Hmm. But, I don't have anything else to ask you. This feeling of being a little confused is quite nice," Li Lili replied somewhat absentmindedly.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Haha, why do I feel that your answer is so interesting? Well, okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Watch your words! If you're not going to tell me about this, you don't have anything else to tell me, do you?" Li Lili said, scrutinizing her choice of words.

"Hmm, did you understand that clearly? That's great, you're a talented young man." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but laugh and say.

Chen's mother thought that Li Lili was quite particular about details.

"Hehe, Mom, you can take a break now. I was just saying it casually, but it turns out it was true. Okay, you just told me not to worry too much about what you were talking about, so I'm not that curious anymore. Hmm, just explain it to me. What else do you want to say?" Li Lili asked, looking at Chen's mother calmly.

Chapter 978 Life? It's Still Wonderful 2

Looking at Li Lili's expression, Chen's mother couldn't help but laugh again. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Just then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Should I praise you or tease you now? I've discovered that you're really a clever little devil. Why are you so funny when you talk to me?"

"Hmm? Is it funny? I don't think so. Well, I'm just telling the truth, I did everything you told me to do. Okay, okay, I won't ramble on anymore, just tell me quickly, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? Oh, of course, it would be really good if you told me everything you wanted to say." Li Lili quickly said with a smile.

Listening to Li Lili's incessant chatter, Chen's mother replied with a stunned expression, "Why did you suddenly say such a long sentence to me? Is it because you thought I had a lot more to tell you?"

Chen's mother was wondering if he had so much to say.

"Well, I can explain this to you right away. The main thing is, I think you might have other things you want to tell me, so I wanted to tell you first. If you have anything else to say, just tell me everything at once. That way, I can analyze it for you, right? It saves us both time. Hmm, what do you think? Isn't this a great idea?" Seeing this, Li Lili quickly explained with a smile. Li Lili was very afraid that Chen's mother would be angry.

"Are you saying I'm wasting your time?" Of all the things Li Lili said, Chen's mother only heard Li Lili say "to save time." Then, Chen's mother immediately asked unhappily.

"How could that be? How could that be, Mom? If you say that, you're really wronging me. You're overthinking it. I was just thinking that this would save you time, isn't that right?" Li Lili began to explain nervously.

At this moment, Li Lili suddenly felt a strong urge, not because she and Chen's mother had never spoken so awkwardly before.

"Ah, okay, that's fine then, I'm relieved." Just then, Chen's mother replied calmly from the side.

Actually, at the beginning, Chen's mother had already thought that she might be too sensitive and had wronged Li Lili. However, Chen's mother was not sure, after all, it is quite normal for them to overthink and be sentimental at this age.

"Don't worry, let's get started. Tell me what's going on?" Li Lili quickly asked with a smile.

Li Lili felt relieved; at least she had made it through this ordeal.

"Haha, you interrupted me and I completely forgot. Oh well, I'll tell you when I remember," Mrs. Chen replied casually.

After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili did not answer her directly. She didn't know what Chen's mother was thinking. Had she really forgotten, or was it because of Shen Lingxue's words that she didn't want to say anything more?

"I don't really know what to say. Anyway, I just feel that you can tell me anything, and I'll be listening right here," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I understand." Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

"Hehe. Yes, yes, you understand. Oh, right, there's something else, Mom. Since you've decided to let Dad go to the party with you, have you prepared Dad's clothes yet? You don't mean Dad has to go and choose slowly, do you?" Li Lili quickly asked at this moment.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I don't have time to choose for him. Besides, his clothes are all there. He can just wear any one of them, right?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

“That’s going too far! Look at you, you’ve gone through so many different outfits and still haven’t found anything suitable. We had to go to the mall to buy new ones. Dad definitely needs to dress more formally, right? So, we still need to find Dad a more suitable outfit.” Li Lili immediately spoke up with a smile at this moment.

“What you’re saying makes sense, but it all depends on what your dad thinks, right? Hmm, I doubt he’ll suggest going to the mall with me again. We’ll probably have to rummage through his closet.” Mrs. Chen continued.

"Yes, I think that's about right. Dad is such a good man, he's just too perfect," Li Lili said sincerely.

"No, I don't quite understand. What do you mean? He's become a good man just because of a piece of clothing? Your standards are too low!" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

He was wondering what was going on with this sudden praise and admiration. He couldn't quite understand it.

“Ha, how could it be that my standards are low? I said this after considering all aspects. Tell me, if Dad wasn’t an outstanding man, would you have been willing to marry him and live with him until now? Hahaha, don’t you think so?” Li Lili immediately chimed in at this moment.

Chen's mother was completely stumped by Li Lili's question. She simply shook her head helplessly and didn't say anything more.

"Haha, Mom, let me tell you, life is actually still pretty good, right? Look, you have your beloved one by your side all the time." Li Lili then grabbed Chen's mother's arm and said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right, life is still beautiful, but why did you suddenly say that to me? What's wrong? Did something make you feel sentimental again?" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile.

"How could that be? Why would I make so many random remarks? I was just saying, don't overthink it, I really didn't mean anything by it." Then, Chen's mother said with a smile.

"Hmm, if nothing's wrong, I'm relieved. Hehe," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Chapter 979 While parents are alive, one should not travel far.

After Chen's mother finished speaking, she immediately grabbed Li Lili's hand and started laughing incessantly...

"What's wrong, Mom? Why are you looking at me like that? It's making me feel a little flattered," Li Lili said quickly, meeting Chen's mother's smile.

"Oh my, you're quite sentimental, aren't you? What's wrong? I just pulled you up a little, and you're acting all flattered? What kind of joke is this?" Mrs. Chen said with a disdainful smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother, after finishing her sentence, immediately said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Let's go."

"Huh? What's wrong? What did you talk about? Are you going out?" Li Lili asked immediately upon seeing this.

"Yes, that's right. That's true." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

"Okay. Sure." Li Lili nodded quickly in response.

"Oh, right, Mom. There's something I don't understand. It's about what you just said to me, about whether or not to take Dad to the class reunion. Why did you come here and tell me this in secret? What's wrong? Can't Dad hear us?" Li Lili asked from the side.

However, at that very moment, Chen's mother's heart, which had just been about to stand up, began to sink again.

"Oh, you mean this? Okay, okay. I'll give it a try. But think about it, I haven't even figured out what to do yet. I definitely don't want him to hear it. That way, if I say I'm not taking him, he won't keep asking to go." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Didn't you originally plan to bring Dad along? Why are you saying you're not bringing him? Hmm, okay, I don't quite understand." Li Lili asked, expressing her confusion.

"Hmm. There's nothing wrong with asking me that," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

“That’s right, that’s why I’m so curious,” Li Lili nodded in response.

"Okay, that's what I was thinking just now. I didn't think about anything else. But it's not a big deal, right? Why worry about so many details? Alright, alright, let's go. Let's go see how your dad and Qingqing are doing." Seeing this, Chen's mother quickly spoke up again.

Then, Chen's mother immediately pulled Li Lili along, preparing to go out.

As Li Lili stood up, she continued, "Haha, Mom, don't worry, I bet Dad is having a great time with Qingqing."

"Isn't it great? Haha, I think so too." Chen's mother couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

And so, Chen's mother and Li Lili walked back.

When Li Lili and Chen's mother entered the living room, they saw Qingqing sitting alone next to Chen's father, playing with a toy in her hand. Chen's father, on the other hand, was looking intently at his phone, seemingly deep in thought.

"Hey, what are you doing over there?" Chen's mother said immediately after seeing him.

"Oh, you two are done chatting?" After hearing Mrs. Chen speak, Mr. Chen immediately turned to look at her and said with a smile.

"Yes, we've finished talking. What's wrong?" Mrs. Chen replied casually.

"What's wrong? What else could it be? I was just wondering if you're hiding something from me. You've been acting so suspiciously, not letting me know anything." Mr. Chen looked at Mrs. Chen with a blank expression, and then spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Chen's mother couldn't help but laugh, and then said loudly, "I really don't know when you started to become so curious!"

"Well, well, well, I'm not quite sure what to say either, hehe. But don't try to change the subject. Is there something you're hiding from me?" At this moment, Mr. Chen asked firmly.

Mr. Chen's main concern was that these two people seemed to be avoiding him at times. So, it's understandable that he had some doubts.

"Let me tell you, you're really overthinking things. We're always hiding things from you, you're being too suspicious. What could we possibly be hiding from you?" Just then, Chen's mother said with a smile.

"Well, okay, I don't know if you're hiding something from me, but I just find you guys very strange," Mr. Chen said further.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother smiled and said, "I was just asking you, what are you doing here? You haven't told me yet."

"Oh, what else can I do? I'm just playing on my phone here," Mr. Chen replied casually.

“No, you weren’t just casually playing on your phone. You were so focused. You must have been looking at something or thinking about something,” Mrs. Chen said with a smile after hearing Mr. Chen’s answer.

Just then, Mr. Chen looked utterly helpless. He thought to himself, "You're so observant; you could solve a case yourself."

Then Mr. Chen immediately laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I feel really helpless too. I was just looking at this, someone's post on WeChat Moments about going out to play."

"What WeChat Moments? Let me see," Mrs. Chen muttered as she took Mr. Chen's phone.

"Hey, who is this? Didn't Xiaoqi post this?" After taking a look, Chen's mother immediately said to Chen's father.

"Yes, it was Xiaoqi who posted it. Did you see what he posted?" Mr. Chen replied casually.

"Oh, not yet, wait a moment," Mrs. Chen replied with a smile upon seeing this.

Then, Chen's mother quickly looked away and began to look at the posts Chen Xiaoqi had made on WeChat Moments.

"While parents are alive, one should not travel far?" Mrs. Chen said, quite surprised, after glancing at the document...

"Yes, parents shouldn't travel far. He posted it." Mr. Chen said calmly after hearing this.

Chapter 980 Stepping on a Landmine

At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Chen, who were standing to the side, began to look at each other.

"It's a bit hard for me to accept." Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Chen and said helplessly.

"Um. It's not just you who's having trouble accepting this; I'm having trouble accepting it too," Mr. Chen said with a smile after hearing this.

"What's wrong?" Li Lili, standing to the side, didn't know the specifics of what had happened, only the general outline. So she immediately asked with concern.

"Sigh, what else can I say? Take a look." After hearing this, Chen's mother immediately handed the phone to Li Lili and then began to speak.

Li Lili took the phone and started looking at it...

Yes, this is a photo Chen Xiaoqi took on a trip, on a yacht, with the sea and seagulls in the background. Li Ran and her mother are also there…

When Li Lili saw this, she suddenly realized that Chen's mother and the others might be jealous.

"Um, Mom, I checked, is it because they went out to play without taking you with them, and you're a little unhappy?" Li Lili asked weakly.

“How could it be because of this? Are we that petty? Did we say anything like that at the beginning? Did we show any anger? Not at all, right?” Mr. Chen immediately denied it after hearing this.

"Yes, no, no. You didn't say that," Li Lili quickly replied.

“We never said that, nor did we ever think that way, but look at what he posted on his WeChat Moments, it’s a bit too much. Parents shouldn’t travel far while their children are alive, but we’re right here, and he still went far away, didn’t he? Okay, fine, he posted a family photo with his whole family, so where does that leave your dad and me?” Mrs. Chen said angrily.

"Mom, after all that talking, aren't you just jealous? Or is it because he went out to play without taking you guys with him?" Li Lili said with a smile as soon as she saw this.

At this moment, Mr. Chen quickly shook his head and continued, "No. It's not like that. He stepped on a landmine."

"What?" Li Lili asked, confused.

"He posted something like that on his WeChat Moments, huh? What message are you implying? That you went on a trip with your parents? Oh, you guys had a great time, didn't you?" Mr. Chen said, sounding a little angry.
