C344 It's Not as Good as I Thought
Zhou Li Xi did not move from her seat. Her back was facing Li Xi and Pei Jun Ting, but her back was still stiff. It was good news, but Kexin still sank down.
"Thank you, Grandfather." Li Xi smiled dryly. She did not understand what a man was thinking.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for helping me take care of my father-in-law." Pei Jun Ting's hand landed on Zhou Zhuo Yun's shoulder. He was grateful, but he was not lying about his feelings.
"You are too polite, Pei Shao. Mr. Li is Miranda's father. As a friend, you should do your best." Zhou Zhuo Yun was still sitting on the chair. His clear voice hid his emotions very well.
"Thank you, ___." Li Xi rolled her eyes at Pei Jun Ting. This gratitude was real.
"Alright, let's eat first." Zhan Mu Si interrupted the small talk. Li Xi and Pei Jun Ting then sat down on his left side. The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to have become much more harmonious.
"Grandpa, this is the box that mom gave me to put the pearl necklace." After Li Xi sat down, she took out the exquisite box from her bag. "I went back to look for it. There is indeed a map inside. Take a look and see if it is the one you wanted."
As Li Xi spoke, she opened the box and revealed the layer inside. If everything could be settled, she really did not want to stay in the castle at night.
"Yes." Zhan Mu Si picked up the map and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he nodded.
"I am relieved that Grandpa is looking for it." Li Xi smiled and said, "Then, can I leave with Dad? You should know that. Junting always had a lot of things to do. His sister had always been cruel to his dad. We have also been delayed for a few days. Can we return to our normal lifestyle now? "
"Isn't it normal to have a meal with grandfather like this?" James put away the map and asked.
"Xi-er is just not used to such frequent flying. Whenever Grandpa wants to have a meal, he is always welcome to 'A' City. Soon Grandpa will have an additional grandson." Pei Jun Ting took over the man's words. He did not want Li Xi to feel any kind of pressure from a man.
"Rest early after dinner. It will be the same if you leave after two days." Zhan Mu Si didn't seem to want to solve everything immediately.
"Grandpa, if possible, we want to leave with Dad after dinner. Our private jet won't be convenient if we wait too long at the airport." Pei Jun Ting was very clear about the outcome that the little girl wanted. His polite words carried a bone marrow that refused to compromise.
"Grandpa, my attitude before was a little willful and not polite enough. The letter Mom left for me mentioned you. She did not have any hatred for you. She also hoped that I wouldn't hate Dad, and said that only those who bravely love will be able to obtain happiness in the end. " Li Xi looked at Zhan Mu Si calmly. "I admit that I still have some fear and vigilance towards you, but I really hope that there will be the kind of heavenly ethics that ordinary people can have between us. I will work hard, and I also hope that Grandpa will put in some effort. Perhaps this child will obtain more love. "
"I am not sure if Li Hua can fly in a long distance situation. If you are not worried, I can help you take care of him first. When his body allows it, I will send someone to send him back. " The old man seemed to want to compromise.
"The private jet is equipped with specialized medical staff and treatment equipment, but considering Father-in-law's current situation, you can rest assured about this." Pei Jun Ting did not intend to compromise. He did not intend to take a single step.
"It seems that all of you have already thought about it." James shrugged as if he was deliberately relaxing. "Alright, after dinner, I will ask the butler to send you to the airport."
"Thank you." Pei Jun Ting bowed slightly to show his courtesy.
"Grandpa, Mr. Zhou came here because of me. Can you leave with us?" Li Xi did not use a questioning tone, which also represented her thoughts.
"Of course." Zhan Mu Si did not have any thoughts of making things difficult for her.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Xi's mood relaxed all of a sudden. She even felt much happier when she took the fork.
"By the way, that Jie Ke..." Li Xi did not forget the breakfast that day. "Although his intentions may not be that simple, he gave me a chance to get in touch with Grandpa. Grandfather, can you give him some forgiveness? "
"Miranda, you better not ask about the matters in F organization." Zhou Chen Yun nervously opened her mouth, worried that she would involve herself in trouble again. He also did not want her to face the miserable fate of life and death, let alone now that he had a baby.
"But..." Li Xi still wanted to say that Pei Jun Ting had already gently held her hand. There were still some things in Zhou Li Xi's eyes that he understood a little.
"Grandfather will take care of his own matters." Pei Junting tightened his palm on the small hand in his heart. Although Li Xi was still a little worried, she still understood and stopped the topic.
The atmosphere of dinner was still rather harmonious and no one touched on sensitive topics anymore. However, the old man had talked about his past experiences quite a bit and really had a feeling of being a soldier for his entire life.
Sometimes things were so unsatisfactory. It seemed that everything was going smoothly to the point where he could just raise his leg and leave. He did not expect that he would suddenly encounter Li Hua with a high fever. The doctors and nurses surrounded the castle. Under such circumstances, there was no way they could leave just like that.
"Let's stay for a few days. Just treat it as accompanying an old man like me." Zhan Mu Si sent out another invitation.
"Grandpa, Xier and I are more used to staying in hotels. This way, we can be more casual. I hope Grandpa can approve." Pei Jun Ting spoke with the respect that a junior should have. He was a little regretful about mentioning the fact that a young woman was pregnant. The people in the castle could not tell whether they were friends or enemies.
"Alright." The old man nodded happily. "You can come as you like, but we can still eat lunch together. Call me, this old man, where lunch is arranged. I'll come over and join in the fun."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Xi was inexplicably touched. Perhaps it was because of the graying of the old man's temples, or perhaps it was the obvious concession of the old man, she suddenly felt that familial love was really magical and had a very easy melding.
"Chen Yun, I will leave my father to you." Li Xi did not forget the price that Zhou Li Xi paid.
"Don't worry." Zhou Zhuo Yun faintly smiled. This was the only thing he could do.
Pei Jun Ting's expression was a little ugly. He felt that women called other men too intimately. Even though Mr. Zhou's way of addressing him was a little stiff, then, Little Zhou... Or Detective Zhou or something like that should be appropriate. Did he really have to call others by their names like that?
