Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager
Chapter 291: Romance
The food has already come, and Li Wei can't even care about it. She walked to the girl's table and asked with a polite smile: "Hello, madam. Looking at you, you are kind, dare you to ask if you are from South Fujian? "
The girl looked at the Chinese woman in front of her attentively, and nodded slowly and said: "Well, yes. Did we know each other before?"
"Then, do you know Qi Jingyi?"
"Jingyi? She is my sister, why?"
"Sister..." Li Wei was very surprised, and looked at the woman before him carefully. There is indeed a certain similarity between mother and child, but why did they meet in London's Chinatown? Should she lament the smallness of the world and the wonder of fate?
"Do you know Jingyi?" the woman asked Li Wei.
Li Wei replied: "Of course I know that I have received a lot of help from her, and I was her tenant."
"So dare to ask if you are..." The woman looked at Li Wei in surprise.
Li Wei said loudly: "My name is Li Wei, Liu Chunzhi is my mother, and Li Jianbo is my second brother."
The woman's gaze at Li Wei gradually widened, and it took a long time before she said: "So it's you!"
"Li Wei, the food is already here, don't you want to eat it?"
"I'm coming right away."
The woman stood up, stretched out her hand to Li Wei, and said politely: "Hello, this is Qi Jingzhen."
It's really her, second brother and his biological mother.
Li Wei was startled slightly, and at the same time he reached out and shook hands with her. He respectfully said, "Hello Aunt Qi."
When Li Wei returned to his position, Qiu Ci asked Li Wei in a quiet voice, "That woman do you know?"
Li Wei nodded. She ate the food silently. The taste of this Chinese restaurant was not authentic, but it was difficult for them to find these ingredients in this place in the UK. After the meal, Qi Jingzhen came over and said to Li Wei: "I saw someone running after a foreigner just now. Could it be you?"
Li Wei was surprised: "Aunt Qi, have you seen all of it?"
Qi Jingzhen smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, that's why I followed you to this restaurant. I didn't expect you to be exactly the same as Jingyi said."
This was enough to shock Li Wei, could it be that Qi Jingzhen discovered her first? Qi Jing must have known her situation through Qi Jingyi or her second brother. Qi Jingzhen is actively approaching her. Although Qi Jingzhen's purpose is not known, this person is the biological mother of the second brother, and Li Wei dare not slacken his efforts.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Wei volunteered: "I didn't expect to meet Aunt Qi here. If you are free, can you have afternoon tea?"
Qi Jingzhen smiled and said: "I have heard that the British afternoon tea is very famous. You invite me, I am very happy."
Qi Jing is really a business woman. I heard that she has saved a lot of family business with her hands. Because he was so strong, he couldn't even take care of his only son.
It started to rain again. Summer in Britain is really short. August is not over here, and it feels like autumn is already here. Seeing the drizzle outside, Li Wei waited at the agreed place and time. Five minutes later, Qi Jingzhen finally entered the store. This time she came alone.
Li Wei hurriedly got up and leaned forward to say hello to her.
"Sorry, there was a traffic accident on the road. The driver took a long way over, so it was a little late." Qi Jing explained the matter to Li Wei seriously.
Li Wei smiled and said, "It's okay. It's normal to be a few minutes late. Auntie, what would you like to eat and drink?"
Qi Jing really didn't like other people making the decision for her. She took the menu and studied it carefully. It took ten minutes for her to place the order.
"Auntie, are you here to travel in the UK? You also came to Edinburgh to watch the festival?"
Qi Jingzhen said: "What art festival, I am not interested in this. Jianbo said that the investment environment here in the UK is good. Let me take a look. It just happens that there is time here, so I came to investigate.
"Dare to ask what business does Auntie do?"
"It's a trader, so I inspected all major ports."
Li Wei is unfamiliar with trade and has never done a lot of business, so she just echoed what Qi Jingzhen said. Although Qi Jingzhen and Qi Jingyi are sisters, the two sisters are really different. Qi Jingyi's temperament is soft and graceful, Qi Jingzhen seems to be a bit tougher, and she has shown her true attitude towards coffee. The same is that both women are tough.
Qi Jingzhen talked about her business on her own. She looked up and saw that Li Wei was listening attentively, but his enthusiasm did not seem to be high. Only then did she realize that she was too far away, and then she changed the subject: "You are here in the UK. Are you used to it?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "Well, I have been here for more than half a year, and I have gradually got used to it."
Qi Jingzhen said, "I used it for two months when I went to the United States."
Li Wei busy said: "Your adaptability is really strong."
"There is no way if you are not strong, you have to have a meal. The domestic environment was not so good at that time. A single woman wandered outside without help, and there was no other way but to rely on her own. In the business field, maybe I It's still successful, but when it comes to motherhood, I am really unsuccessful. Jianbo is still blaming me for leaving him at the beginning, right?"
"No, no. If it weren't for you, second brother wouldn't be able to achieve today, right?"
"It's normal for him to blame me. After all, I was wrong at the beginning. At that time, I was really selfish. I only thought about what I would do later. I didn't think about him. At that time, he was only about two years old and felt that he was a burden and would hinder me Fortunately, the Li family was loyal and did not feed the sword wave. Now he is taught by the Li family. I am very grateful to them. By the way, your parents are both loyal. Are you healthy?"
Li Wei said: "My mother is fine, my father is sick and needs long-term recuperation."
"Oh, I haven't seen them for many years. When I went to the countryside in Yongning and lived in the same village with your parents, your mom taught me how to crochet flowers. I remember that she is ingenious, good craftsmanship, and good food. She did a very good job. Even in the era of lack of supplies, she could figure out a way to make delicious food. She is really an amazing woman.
Qi Jingzhen said, she fell into reminiscence of the past, time is hurried, thirty years have passed. At that time, she was sitting on a tractor to the production brigade, where she met the kind-hearted Li family. She was still very young at that time, and she became more nostalgic when she was middle-aged in a blink of an eye.
"Jianbo was naughty when he was a kid?"
"Second brother..." There are almost no memories of the original owner in the body. The previous period was almost blank to Li Wei. She shook her head in a daze and said, "I am younger than my second brother, so when I was young, Even harder to remember."
