Chapter 1276: Right and Wrong

After breaking up with Becky at the crossroads, Lilith went to the building next door alone, and got into the Cadillac waiting in the parking lot.

"Mom, why did you come to pick me up in person?" As soon as she got in the car, Lilith saw her mother sitting in the cab.

"Your father is coming... Did you cause any trouble at school?" Garbo's tone was somewhat questioning, making Lilith's good mood disappear instantly.

"I didn't do anything." Lilith said with certainty.

"Really?" Seeing her angry look, Jia Bao only thought that he had misunderstood. Perhaps the reason why Charlie asked Lilith on the phone was simply because he missed his daughter.

When the two returned to their new home, Li Zitao's plane also landed at Los Angeles Airport, but instead of going to Venice Beach immediately, he went to Santa Barbara.

I haven't seen Celia and Yixi for a long time, and he still owes the other party an explanation about Hualian (Far East), so he just took this opportunity to have a good talk with her.

After seeing the changes in the current situation in the Far East, Celia regretted handing over the business of the Far East Hualian so easily.

In just over half a year, the business volume of Far East Hualian has doubled several times, and a large number of areas that have returned to peace have been renamed Minsheng Department Store, which has become a place where people rush to go, even if they just go inside to see the excitement.

After all, Minsheng Department Store is currently the largest department store in China. It is said that it was bought from foreigners, and there are so many new things in it that it is hard to see.

When Celia lived, there were only servants in the house. Celia went to a school meeting, and Issie still hasn't returned from school.

"Is everything okay at home?" Li Zitao asked the housekeeper.

"Everything is fine...just." The butler's hesitant attitude made Li Zitao frown, and then raised his hand to wave away the others.

"What's the matter, we can talk now." When the room was empty, Li Zitao signaled her to continue talking.

"Master Yixi had something happen before, he seemed to be misunderstood and frightened." The butler said cautiously.

"Be specific."

"I'm not very clear, sir. You should ask Madam, but don't say that I said it." The butler seemed very afraid that Celia would know about it, and begged with folded hands.

"Got it, it's all right..." Asking her to pour himself a glass of whiskey, Li Zitao waited quietly in the room alone.

"It's the madam who's back." The butler came in and said, then turned to leave, and at the same time as the door sounded, the sound of Gada Gada's high-heeled shoes knocked in his ears.

"Celia, here..." Li Zitao raised his hand and shouted to the door.

"Why do you come here when you are free? You should be very busy these few months." Celia untied the shoulder strap, handed it to the maid and walked to the bedroom. She had to get her makeup done first.

"Where's Yixi? Is school still out?" Li Zitao followed into the bedroom, looked at Celia who was pretending to be indifferent, and approached with a playful smile.

"Don't make trouble, I'm going to take these off first." Celia took off the earrings and the cumbersome layered jewelry necklace on her chest, as well as rings, brooches, neckline pins, hair flowers...

It takes more than ten minutes to remove the messy things every time. If you put them all on, it will take more time and effort.

"I need to go to Japan recently. Are you going to see the development of Hualian?" Li Zitao turned the topic to work, which has always been tried and tested.

"Japan? It's really necessary to visit." Celia nodded thoughtfully.

"Recently, how are you and the child?" Li Zitao asked tentatively.

"It's nothing..." Celia's hands paused, and then she continued to take off the extra accessories on her body naturally.

It's just that the unnatural look at the corner of her mouth can't be covered up no matter what. She is not very good at lying, especially in life.

Lies in the business world are much easier for her because she never thinks of them as lies, just a fancy way of using words.

"Tell me, what happened?" Li Zitao said softly with his arms around her shoulders.

"There is something..." hesitated again and again,

Celia decided to tell him anyway.

Issy, who is just 4 years old this year, is smart, polite and well-behaved, never letting her have anything to worry about, which makes Celia very proud as a mother.

Just a few days ago, when Yixi went to the park to play, she saw a father knocking his daughter to the ground, and the little guy with a sense of justice immediately wanted to stop her.

This kind of thing will naturally be resolved by the bodyguards, and then he chooses to call the police according to Issy's intention, because his mother always tells him that if there is a problem, he should go to the police to solve it.

However, after the police arrived, the daughter categorically denied that her injuries were not caused by her father, but by the bodyguards.

Father wanted to prevent them from hurting himself, but he was seriously injured... Such a small matter would naturally not cause trouble, and it would be resolved quickly.

However, Yixi has been sluggish these days, as if she has questioned her own cognition. Several times Celia tried to talk to him, but each time he pretended not to hear.

"Is it time to pick him up from school?" Li Zitao looked at his watch, it was 3:20, if I remember correctly, it should be almost time.

Kindergartens in the United States end classes a little earlier and do not assume the responsibility of hosting. The need for hosting is the responsibility of the hosting organization, not theirs.

"It's time to go, are you going?" Celia looked up and asked with a smile.

She just asked casually, when did she see him pick up the child, not to mention Issie, even the twins have never heard that he picked it up in person, because if there is such a thing, it will definitely make headlines.

"I'll go!" was the answer which startled Celia.

"Really?" Celia stood up in disbelief, looking him up and down, as if looking at a stranger.

"What's the matter? No one knows I'm here." Li Zitao walked out of the house with a relaxed tone. He had to find the housekeeper to arrange a driver.

It's ashamed to say it, because as a father, he still doesn't know the address of the school where his son Issie goes to school.

If there is no driver to lead the way, how should he bring his son back.

Facts have proved that he was overthinking. The school where Issy goes to school is only seven or eight minutes away from home, and it is across the park to the kindergarten directly opposite.

"Who is this?" When school was over, the teacher asked curiously when he saw Li Zitao came to pick up Yixi.

"Yes..." The driver looked at him with some embarrassment, not knowing how to introduce him.

"I am Yixi's father. I have been working overseas. I just returned to China today..." Li Zitao nodded to the other party, acting like a gentleman.

"Really?" The teacher looked at him strangely, so that he forgot the greetings and etiquette that should be there.

It wasn't until Li Zitao walked away with Yixi in his arms that she remembered that she should greet him and introduce herself, and finally she could only open her mouth to give up this plan, "I hope I will have a chance to see him again someday. As a father, I should also care about him." That's right with the kids at school. '
