“Welcome to the parent-child event. I represent the International Academy to thank everyone for being free.”
As soon as Florence Li entered the school, she heard the host’s loud voice welcoming the children’s parents.
Florence Li wore a sports outfit and looked for Si Yi in the crowd.
“Mommy, I’m here…”
Shi Yi, who was sitting on a small chair not far away, was waving at him.
Florence Li smiled as she walked towards Si Yi, but Shi Yi’s eyes kept looking behind Florence Li as if she was looking for someone.
“The event is about to begin. Is Papa here?”
Shi Yi looked towards the door again, her face full of disappointment.
“Papa is still on the way. I just called Mommy and said that I’ll be there soon!”
Florence Li couldn’t bear to look at Si Yi, so she could only make up a reason to say that Brian Si was already on his way here.
“Great, Mommy, I think our family will get first place today!”
Shi Yi’s eyes flashed when she heard Florence Li say that Brian Si would come.
“The event is about to begin. Please get ready!”
The host announced the process of the event.
Florence Li took the opportunity to make a call.
“Beep…”
This time, there was only one ring and the phone was picked up. Through the phone, the voice of the person could be heard as cold as water.
“What’s wrong?”
Brian Si looked at the missed calls from Florence Li on his phone and was trying to figure out the purpose of her call.
She remembered that she had said that she would not contact her other than Shi Yi.
Last night, she forgot about her drunk phone in the office. After the morning meeting, the phone on the table rang.
Brian Si took the phone and saw that it was Florence Li calling. He hesitated whether to pick it up or not, and finally put it in his ear.
“Why did you pick up…”
“There is a parent-child activity in the school, so we need parents to attend it. Now the event is about to begin, you…”
Before Florence Li could finish her sentence, she heard the prompt of a busy line from her phone.
The call was interrupted and Florence Li held the phone for a long time before she slowly put it down.
“Now we have to group up. First family Sun Siyu, second family, Wang Yu…”
The host’s voice was heard again.
Florence Li took a deep breath. She was not sure if Brian Si would come to the event, at least for now, she had to be by Si Yi’s side.
“No. 36 Family Sis Yi!”
When he read the name, Shi Yi happily pulled Florence Li onto the stage.
The other families on the stage were with their parents and children, but only Florence Li was by the side.
Afraid that Florence Li was sad, even though Sis Yi didn’t say anything, her face was full of disappointment and she stood quietly at the corner of the stage with Florence Li.
Halfway through the event, the three people who needed the cooperation of parents and children completed it together.
“Sis Yi, didn’t your father come?”
The presenter looked at the combination of Florence Li and Si Yi and squatted down with a smile.
“My dad hasn’t come yet. He said he’ll be there soon.”
Shi Yi’s eyes were full of disappointment when he spoke. He knew that his father might not be coming, but he still looked at the entrance with some anticipation.
Florence Li was a little embarrassed by the host’s question and didn’t know how to respond.
She was so nervous that she didn’t know how to smooth things over.
“Papa, I’m here!”
Shi Yi exclaimed suddenly and waved at the crowd.
Florence Li followed Si Yi’s gaze and saw that Brian Si had appeared at the event.
He could be seen across the crowd. Brian Si was such a favored son of God. Just standing there was enough attention.
He suddenly appeared and Florence Li didn’t know how to respond.
However, in front of Si Yi, she had to disguise herself to prevent her from seeing any flaws.
A smile squeezed out on his face and his expression softened. Brian Si’s face was cold, but when he slowly walked over to Si Yi, a faint gentleness replaced the frost on his face.
“Papa, I knew you would come!” Shi Yi was so excited that he threw himself into Brian Si’s arms.
Many people looked over like this, and the host on stage paused for a moment before continuing to host.
However, most of the women’s eyes did not escape Florence Li’s eyes.
The two of them sat together and she felt like she was sitting on needles.
Shi Yi’s Huahua won first place, and the teacher was giving an award on stage.
Someone whispered, “Look at her. Her husband is so handsome and a CEO, and her son is so excellent. I wonder what she thinks, yet she cheated.”
The person who spoke was sitting beside him, seemingly deliberately lowering his voice but deliberately letting her hear it.
Florence Li frowned lightly and pretended not to hear it. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Brian Si, who was focused on the stage.
He didn’t seem to hear what he said earlier.
He didn’t know if he was relieved or not, but his mind flashed past what he said that day and he withdrew his gaze.
“After the award is over, I’ll go back to the company directly. I’ll get Rodney to pick it up. If you have something to do, then go ahead.” His indifferent voice rang out beside him.
“Shi Yi, I can bring him back to where I live.”
“Okay.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Brian Si decisively agreed to end the topic.
Florence Li nodded and didn’t say anything more. She also focused on watching Shi Yi on stage.
Before the event ended, Brian Si’s phone rang. He didn’t deliberately avoid her and put the phone in his ear.
“What is it?”
The other party didn’t know what he said to him. His expression was a little grave, and then he let out a sound.
“After two days, I’ll ask Rodney to pick up Si Yi. If you have anything, contact him.”
After a sentence, he left.
From start to end, the two of them hadn’t communicated. Florence Li didn’t feel sad either. Her eyes stayed on the stage and didn’t look at him.
After the teacher stepped down, he even praised Shi Yi with Florence Li. He said that his drawing was very talented and his comprehension was better than that of children of the same age. However, recently he seemed to be feeling a little depressed, so he had to pay attention to his parents.
Florence Li felt guilty. She knew that she had indeed neglected Shi Yi for a long time, and that she had been bothering her, one after another. She didn’t know when there would be an answer.
However, she had forgotten that her most important thing was Shi Yi.
The mother and son left the school and walked on the way.
Florence Li raised her hand to stroke his head and smiled, “Xiao Yi, why are you frowning at such a young age?” He’s about to become an old man.
