My Beautiful CEO.

The masked woman didn't say a word, but even a fool could see the resentment in her eyes.

Li Cheng picked up his luggage and left the place. He didn't know if the masked woman had recovered, but he knew she must be very sad because he had hurt her.

As some people have said, Li Cheng is indeed an irresponsible bastard who only knows how to act on impulse and never takes responsibility for his actions.

Once on the street, I flagged down a taxi and moved my luggage to a roadside pavilion where I could take shelter from the rain. I didn't know where to stay for the time being. I didn't have much money, renting a room was out of the question, and staying in a hotel was not a suitable option either.

Li Tao, the only person willing to lend money to Li Cheng, was also asked by Li Cheng because of Qian Xiaoqian.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Cheng has always found his own way to deal with any situation. He particularly enjoys showing his competitive side to others and never hesitates to expose his other side to them.

Unable to think of any solutions, Li Cheng suddenly felt abandoned by the world.

Li Cheng lit a cigarette, rested in the pavilion, and watched the cars coming and going on the street, his mind wandering.

If there had been some planning and arrangement, Li Cheng's life wouldn't be like this now.

Unfortunately, Li Cheng did not do that, but chose to live like a walking corpse.

He didn't know when it started, but Li Cheng secretly fell in love with Zhang Qing. Even though he was bullied by her every day, Li Cheng still vaguely hoped for her gentleness.

The cold wind blew straight into Li Cheng's clothes. Li Cheng took out a scarf from the bag and tied it around his neck. After tying the scarf, the uncomfortable feeling slowly disappeared.

For the next two hours, Li Cheng did nothing but sit in the pavilion, repeatedly spacing out and smoking. Only after dark did Li Cheng begin to feel a slight desire for someone to lend a helping hand.

A phone call suddenly came to Li Cheng's attention, and he wiped his face before taking out his phone from his pocket. It was his second uncle calling.

Unlike Li Cheng, my second uncle was honest and kind, but his only flaw was that he was a bit old-fashioned. After graduating from university, he was parachuted into a large state-owned enterprise as the head of the purchasing department. Eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has never been promoted to a higher position.

That's not all. The purchasing department clearly has a lot of lucrative opportunities, but in eleven years he has never taken a single penny of kickbacks. His rock-solid integrity left his colleagues speechless.

Li Cheng heard his second uncle's calm, emotionless voice on the phone. He said to Li Cheng, "Li Cheng, I'm about to get off the train. I need to go to the exhibition early tomorrow morning. Can I stay at your place tonight?"

Li Cheng was immediately filled with endless distress, wondering if he hadn't checked the almanac these past two days. Why were all these bad things happening to him? What he didn't want to happen, happened to happen.

No matter what, you can't let your second uncle know about Li Cheng's current miserable situation. Although he is very old-fashioned, it doesn't mean he has no temper.

Li Cheng blinked and said to his second uncle, "Second Uncle, could you please find somewhere to make do? I have business with my colleagues tonight, so it's really inconvenient."

“You go about your business. Just leave the key on the window and I can get in,” Uncle said.

“There have been a lot of thieves in the neighborhood lately, so it’s not safe to put things on the windowsill.”

My second uncle was quite persistent and continued, "In that case, I'll wait for you outside. Don't stay up too late, and remember to come back early."

"Second Uncle, you must be exhausted after such a long journey, right? Why not just find a hotel to stay in? Why come here and suffer like this? Besides, my place is so far from the station. Can you really handle the hassle of taking the bus?"

No matter how Li Cheng declined, his second uncle listened patiently until the end, then said to Li Cheng, "Li Cheng, your second aunt asked me to bring you a sweater." After saying that, he hung up the phone silently.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Li Cheng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He immediately carried his luggage to the side of the road and waited anxiously for a taxi.

At this moment, Li Cheng had to rush back to the masked woman's house. Whether she wanted to or not, Li Cheng had to move in. If his second uncle knew about his miserable situation, he would be so angry that he would end up in the hospital.

Braving the raging wind and rain, Li Cheng took a taxi to the residential area. After getting out of the car, he focused his attention on the masked woman's building. The masked woman's car was not there, which made Li Cheng slightly happy.

Actually, because he left in a hurry, Li Cheng hadn't handed over the key yet. So he happily thought, since his second uncle was only staying here for one night, if the masked woman had something to do tonight and didn't come back, wouldn't everything be easily solved?

Li Cheng took a deep breath, quickly returned to the house, packed his luggage in just five or six minutes, made the bed, and then went to the bus stop with an umbrella.

Half an hour later, a bus slowly drove towards them. Li Cheng looked up and kept looking around. He immediately saw his second uncle slowly getting off the bus with a small canvas bag in his hand.

Li Cheng waved to him and then shouted, "Second Uncle, I'm here!"

Seeing Li Cheng come to pick him up, his second uncle was a little surprised: "Didn't you just say you were doing some business with your colleagues? Why are you here to pick me up now?"

"It's no big deal. I canceled my plans to come pick you up, that's the important thing!" After saying that, Li Cheng took the small bag from his second uncle.

The second uncle remained silent and followed Li Cheng into the residential area.

Li Cheng turned around and said, "Second Uncle, why didn't you take a taxi on your business trip? It's not like you won't get reimbursed!"

"Public funds are still money, and we shouldn't waste them if we can save them." My second uncle remained as serious as ever.

"Old-fashioned!" Li Cheng muttered.

My second uncle didn't say anything more, and he didn't seem happy. He's always been like this; once he believes something is right, he's unwilling to explain it to others.

It's as if he lived in his own little world, where he served as section chief for eleven years.

Upon arriving at the masked woman's house, the second uncle produced a stainless steel lunchbox from somewhere and said to Li Cheng:

“I went fishing with my friends last week. We didn’t catch any fish, but we caught seven or eight wild mud frogs. Your second aunt cooked two of them and asked me to bring them over for you to eat. If you want to eat them, you can heat them up, or you can eat them without heating them up.”

"Then let's take care of the wild mud frogs tonight," Li Cheng said with a grin.

Uncle looked at Li Cheng with a puzzled expression, then asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"

"Well, there's too much to do..." After saying that, Li Cheng quickly changed the subject, "Second Uncle, did you bring the Lake Wine that Second Aunt brewed?"

Second Uncle nodded, then took out a bottle containing the very Huzi wine that Li Cheng liked.

So Li Cheng and his second uncle got busy, and half an hour later they came to the table, eating wild mud frogs while waiting for the white rice porridge cooking in the rice cooker.
