Chapter 510 Is there another one?
【5600】
When Liu Xiaoli woke up in the hotel, it was already noon the next day.
When she got up drowsily, there was no sign of Xu Kun in the room. Only a mess remained on the floor, proving that the fierce battle yesterday was not an illusion.
Liu Xiaoli sat on the bed hugging the quilt, feeling that all the bones in her body were still weak, and her mouth was so dry that her throat felt like smoking.
But she didn't really want to drink the hot water provided by the hotel, so she propped herself up and got off the ground, preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up simply so that she could leave here as soon as possible.
After dragging her exhausted body into the bathroom, she was about to wash her face with cold water when her eyes inadvertently caught her reflection in the dressing mirror and she was stunned.
She originally thought that she was in such a miserable state and should be in a very bad condition, but unexpectedly, the woman in the mirror had a rosy face and looked radiant.
Especially those eyes and eyebrows, which were watery and full of spring love, and even the fine lines at the corners of the eyes seemed to have been smoothed out a lot.
Liu Xiaoli stared at all this in a daze, and unconsciously raised her hand to touch the corners of her eyes. Although God loved her enough, after more than a year of confusion, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes inevitably increased.
Every time she looked in the mirror and saw the increasing number of wrinkles, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and her persistence and urgency in realizing her Hollywood dream grew day by day.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any flattery last night.
I just didn't expect that these fine lines would be almost half opened up overnight.
In addition to the fact that my long-lost body was nourished, I also found a support again and felt safe and secure in my heart - from today on, Xixi and I no longer have to worry, it feels so good.
wrong!
Liu Xiaoli's expression suddenly changed. It seemed that she had forgotten to ask Xu Kun about his opinion on entering Hollywood last night.
This really shouldn't happen.
She had prepared a speech in advance, thinking that if Xu Kun was still willing to open his eyes to the world, she would guide and enlighten him. Who knew that last night he was busy...
After feeling upset for a while, Liu Xiaoli comforted herself again. Nowadays, what commercial film director who has made a name for himself would not want to develop in Hollywood?
There is no need to rush this matter, lest Director Xu think that I attached myself to him purely for utilitarian purposes - although this is the fact, even if it is just covering one's ears and stealing the bell, it is better than being exposed nakedly.
After some thought, she decided that it would not be too late to bring up the matter after Sissi's attitude changed a little.
after an hour.
Liu Xiaoli, who had to pack up simply because she didn't have enough things to carry, finally left the hotel and got into her BMW.
She first took out a small bottle of Pocari Sweat from the armrest box to relieve her dry cough, then sat in the car for a while before driving back to her villa.
Before the car came to a complete stop, Liu Yifei ran into the garage and waited for Liu Xiaoli to get out of the car. The mother and daughter asked in unison, "Why didn't you answer my call last night?!"
After asking, Liu Xiaoli was stunned. She took out her cell phone and found that it was turned off for some reason. In fact, Xu Kun turned it off quietly because he didn't want her to have the chance to leave any evidence.
While Liu Xiaoli was checking her phone, Liu Yifei bit her lips and asked again, "Why didn't you come back yesterday?"
"How do I get back?!"
Liu Xiaoli felt a little guilty at first, but when she heard her daughter mention this, she was furious and asked angrily, "How dare you ask me this? Do you know what the consequences would be if we broke our promise yesterday?!"
"What's the broken appointment?"
Liu Yifei had asked knowingly just now, but now she was playing dumb: "How come I don't know what date we have tonight?!"
"you……"
Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a moment. She really wanted to act first and report later, so she had not discussed it with her daughter beforehand. So she was really stumped by Liu Yifei's question.
But she wasn't someone who insisted on being reasonable, so she quickly switched to a nagging style: "Even if there wasn't a date, why did you run away halfway?! Do you know how anxious I was?!"
Liu Yifei looked at her silently for a while, then suddenly turned and left.
"Where are you going? Tell me what you want to say clearly!" Liu Xiaoli hurriedly chased after him, but after running two steps her brows suddenly frowned and her steps unconsciously slowed down.
Liu Yifei had heard her mother shouting from behind and had prepared herself for being stopped. However, when she returned to the lobby on the first floor from the underground garage, she did not see her mother catching up with her.
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not go back to look for Liu Xiaoli. Instead, she sat on the new sofa in the living room with her shoulders folded and a tense face.
Ever since she found out about Chen Jinfei's true identity, she has replaced all the furniture bought by Chen Jinfei upstairs and downstairs - in fact, she has also thought about simply moving to a new house, but the ones she could afford were not worthy of her attention, and the ones she liked were not worthy of her ability to afford at the moment.
After a while, Liu Xiaoli finally appeared at the stairs, holding on to the wall.
Seeing her mother's awkward posture, Liu Yifei's eyebrows suddenly raised, and she stood up and said, "Did he hit you? How dare that bastard..."
"No, what nonsense are you talking about."
Liu Xiaoli's face flushed red. She wanted to explain but couldn't. In the end, she could only scold: "Be more respectful to Director Xu in the future! If he hears you speaking rudely, all my hard work... all my hard work will be in vain."
She originally wanted to say "hard work", but when the words came to her lips, she felt that it was inappropriate. She felt that countless images emerged with these two words, so she quickly changed her words.
Seeing her mother's attitude, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, then sat back on the sofa with her shoulders hugged and her cheeks puffed out.
Perhaps he felt that this posture was a bit awkward, so he picked up a doll pillow and held it tightly in his arms.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli also sat down on the concubine's throne diagonally opposite. Her daughter's concern just now made her anger dissipate for the most part, but because of this, she didn't know where to start for a moment.
The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence for a long time. After that, it was Liu Yifei who broke the silence first: "Mom, do I have a new godfather?"
There was both helplessness and a bit of sarcasm in these words.
Liu Xiaoli blushed and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but seeing her daughter's expression as if she had seen through everything, it was difficult for her to tell the lie.
In Liu Yifei's view, her mother had acquiesced.
Although she was somewhat repulsive, her disgust was less than expected. This was not because she had already thought of compromising, but because her mother had remarried three times since she was a child.
Although this time the situation was very different from before, Liu Yifei, who had long been accustomed to her mother's breakups and reunions, found it easier to accept than others.
"Ah~"
She sighed, stood up and said, "If you're not hungry, go back to your room and rest for a while."
Having said that, he walked upstairs by himself.
"Sissi!"
Liu Xiaoli subconsciously called out to her. Liu Yifei looked back at her from the spiral staircase. The condescending and cold eyes made her feel so unfamiliar for a moment that she even forgot what she wanted to say.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei took a long step and went straight upstairs.
Liu Xiaoli sat in the lobby on the first floor for a long time, and suddenly she felt regretful for her decision to act first and ask for permission later. She had never seen such a cold and distant look on Xixi's face before.
But I'm doing this for my daughter's own good. I don't want her to take a wrong path when she's young and regret it when she's my age.
Besides, things have come to this point and there is no room for turning back - otherwise how could Xu Kun agree?
Gradually, Liu Xiaoli's face became firm again. Even if her approach was problematic, her original intention was for Xixi's own good. Moreover, this was also a common practice in the circle. Whether it was at Tokyo University or in the United States, such things were never uncommon.
At this moment, she had forgotten how indignant she was when the red sofa was exposed online.
Anyway, now that the matter has been exposed, all that’s left is to slowly work it out.
Xixi knew her own personality. She was also insecure at heart. As long as she felt Xu Kun's strong protection, she would most likely give in half-heartedly, given her usual easy-going and carefree nature...
This was also the reason why Chen Jinfei was so sure that he could take action against her after sending him away.
