Chapter 210 My Mother Was a Heartthrob in the 1980s
“That’s right, he is definitely your older brother’s son. He looks not only like your older brother, but also like me.”
Through Si Qingzhou, Li's mother seemed to see her younger self.
Meanwhile, Si Qingzhou had already met up with the school leaders, and together they headed towards the Li family mother and daughter.
No one noticed that Si Qingzhou's emotions changed repeatedly, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Mrs. Li, thank you very much for the Li Group's generous support of our school's activities. Since time is tight, I won't accompany you on your tour. Before the event starts, I'll have Xiao Si and the others show you around the school."
The academic exchange meeting is scheduled to start at 1 p.m., and it's only 10 a.m. now, so there's still plenty of time. However, Director Liu is very busy as he needs to coordinate the entry and participation of various schools.
The task of showing the Li family mother and daughter around the campus can only be left to Si Qingzhou and his group.
"Mrs. Li, let's go, this way please. Let's first take a stroll around Taixin Lake on campus, which is also the most famous place on our campus."
Reception and external affairs have always been Zhao Yifan's forte, so the group had agreed beforehand that Zhao Yifan would explain everything to them, while Si Qingzhou and the others would simply follow behind.
“Great, this is perfect, I’ve never been here before. I’ve heard people say that the scenery of Taixin Lake at University A is amazing, and this time I finally have a chance to see it.”
While Mrs. Li spoke politely, her eyes kept glancing at Si Qingzhou.
Li Rui was even more direct, walking straight to Si Qingzhou's side.
"Excuse me, what's your name? You look familiar."
Li Rui was very enthusiastic towards Si Qingzhou, which aroused the curiosity of Zhao Yifan and the others.
"Really? Then Ms. Li must be mistaken. I grew up in Hai City and have never been to City A except for university."
Si Qingzhou said calmly.
"Not necessarily, maybe there's some other kind of fate involved."
Li Rui said something meaningful.
Her words surprised Zhao Yifan and the others.
"Yifan, could it be that Ms. Li has taken a liking to Qingzhou?"
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to Li Rui, Liu Cheng quickly pulled Zhao Yifan aside and whispered something.
"What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of being overheard? Don't talk nonsense."
That's what she said, but Zhao Yifan's gossipy eyes betrayed her.
Meanwhile, Li's mother, standing to the side, had a completely black face.
“Li Rui, come here. You’re getting more and more out of line. Little Si, don’t mind it. That’s just how your Aunt Li is.”
Li's mother looked apologetic at Si Qingzhou, but her eyes were glued to him. It was only when Li Rui gently tugged at her sleeve that she was brought back to her senses.
"Hey, let's go take a look at the front. It's been so many years since we've been to the university."
Mother Li came to her senses and said with a touch of nostalgia.
Seeing this, Zhao Yifan quickly stepped forward to explain to the two of them.
Si Qingzhou, standing behind them, looked thoughtful.
[Strange. Judging from their words and actions, they clearly know me, but their eyes don't seem like they'd harm me. It seems there's someone else in the Li family who doesn't welcome me.]
"Hey, Qingzhou, you can tell, right? These two from the Li family really like you. Your luck with women is just too good! What's your secret? Tell me, brother."
Liu Cheng, lagging behind, pulled Si Qingzhou aside and teased her in a low voice.
"Stop talking nonsense and get back to your business."
Si Qingzhou sighed silently.
However, as Si Qingzhou watched the backs of the Li family mother and daughter, she gradually began to make her own plans.
[Until the source of the danger is found, my mother and I will always be in danger. Perhaps this mother and daughter are my breakthrough.]
Si Qingzhou was unaware that the source of this danger was no longer interested in causing them harm.
“Dad is really unlucky. Who in their right mind can have a stroke while eating a normal meal? This is a critical moment, and he can’t let us down.”
Li Cheng muttered under his breath with a look of disgust.
But seeing Li Hai lying on the hospital bed, he had to suppress his expression and approach him with a worried look.
"Dad, Dad, are you feeling better? I was so worried about you. When I heard you had an accident, I immediately dropped everything to come see you. I notified my older brother, but he said he had some things to do and would come later."
"Never mind him, your older brother has never cared about me."
Li Hai's face lit up with anger whenever Li Yang was mentioned. Recently, several of his decisions had been rejected by Li Yang. Did Li Yang even consider him his father anymore?
"Dad, my older brother has a lot of things to do, unlike me who doesn't have many projects. Don't be angry with him."
"Forget about your older brother. Anyway, he's going to step down as acting president next month. But I have to give you a heads-up, so don't let me down."
Li Hai spoke with a serious expression, while Li Cheng was secretly delighted and just kept nodding.
The Li Yang they were referring to had just received the investigation materials from his assistant.
After reading a few pages, he muttered something to himself.
"Si Yan? It's actually her?"
"Strange, why do I only remember her name but not what she looks like?"
Li Yang frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Because Si Yan changed her appearance, everyone who had seen her face before now has only a vague memory of her.
These people will only have a specific image of her in their memory after seeing her current appearance.
"Never mind, none of that matters. What's important now is that I need to confirm whether Si Qingzhou is really my son."
Li Yang had prepared himself to grow old alone, but he never expected to have such a grown son.
This feeling was strange, and Li Yang's heart was filled with complex emotions.
As for the news that Li Hai, the head of the Li family, was hospitalized, Li Yang was unaware of it because Li Cheng had no intention of telling him. By the time Li Yang found out, his father was already close to being discharged.
Thanks to Si Yan, the two thugs had already confessed everything they needed to in prison.
"Captain Jiang, I've heard about it. We've done a great job this time, and the higher-ups say they're going to give us a good reward."
Liu Xu said excitedly.
"Why are you so happy? You should use this time to look at the materials again and learn more. As for the reward, you will get your share."
Jiang replied calmly and composedly.
"I understand all of that, but Captain Jiang, we really owe a debt to Comrade Si Yan this time. Do you think we should go and thank her?"
"Come on, were you saying that as a thank you?"
Jiang Rang's face darkened.
"Hehe, Captain Jiang, I wasn't doing that for your own good, was I? Besides, I wasn't the one staring at her and trying to curry favor with her."
Instead of getting angry when Jiang Rang said that, Liu Xu responded with a teasing smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rang's expression became slightly unnatural.
“Captain Jiang, I’ve already inquired about it for you. Although Comrade Si Yan has such a big son, she’s currently single. With her looks, if you don’t pay attention, you might find it difficult to even meet her in the future.”
Liu Xu was extremely worried about his captain.
"Let's forget it. Comrade Si Yan's appearance is as beautiful as the white moon in the sky, while I'm as dark as charcoal. We're not a good match."
Jiang lowered his head and said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Whether you can do it or not, you have to give it a try. This is the first time I've seen you like this in all these years. Why is Captain Jiang so lacking in confidence?"
Liu Xu stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jiang Rang.
“You’re right. Giving up without even trying isn’t really my style. However, Comrade Si Yan’s situation is special, and I can’t cause trouble for her. I’ll visit her after I finish dealing with the cases here.”
Jiang Rang smiled as soon as he thought about it.
And Si Yan, whom they were talking about, also arrived at University A wearing a mask.
At this moment, Si Qingzhou and his group had already led the Li family mother and daughter to their seats.
"Hey, Xiao Yuan, could you go to the entrance and greet my mom? I'm heading backstage to prepare right away. Be careful not to talk about anything we shouldn't!"
Si Qingzhou finished speaking hurriedly and ran to the backstage area.
"Hey, what can I say? Why are you so wary of me?"
Xiao Yuan muttered something awkwardly, but before he could finish speaking, he had already strode out.
Si Yan wore a blue and white checkered dress today, and her long, black hair was gently tied up with a blue ribbon.
Xiao Yuan spotted Si Yan waiting quietly at a glance, and his ears turned red before he even got close to her.
"Sister, here. The exchange meeting is about to start. Qingzhou is preparing. He arranged for me to pick you up."
"Xiao Yuan, you should call her Auntie. You're even younger than Qing Zhou."
Si Yan was wearing a mask, so Xiao Yuan couldn't see her face. However, after seeing Si Yan's captivating eyes, his heart pounded louder and louder in his ears.
He was so overwhelmed that he didn't know what to say and could only nod repeatedly.
When the exchange meeting arrived, Xiao Yuan and his companion still attracted a lot of attention.
"Hey, who's that next to Xiao Yuan? Could she be the legendary beautiful mother of Si Qingzhou?"
"It's hard to say. Judging from the back view, he looks so young, it shouldn't be him. Could it be someone he knows from another school?"
Looking at Si Yan's aloof figure, the male classmates simply couldn't reconcile her with the image of a woman nearing forty.
"Hey, could she be Xiao Yuan's girlfriend? Look how attentive he is."
The male student was talking enthusiastically when the female student next to him bumped into him hard.
"What are you doing? Why did you bump into me?"
The male student rubbed his chest in pain.
"Stop talking. Didn't you see Wu Xiao's ugly face? I heard she broke up with Xiao Yuan less than a month ago."
Meanwhile, Wu Xiao, whom they were talking about, stared at Si Yan's back with an embarrassed expression.
