Chapter 222 Come to Apologize
"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Yu Shulan was angry at Lin Ge again, but she also knew that the matter of five thousand yuan was much more important than inviting the driver back first.
She could only report the matter to the police for the time being. When she and Lin Ge came out, Uncle Li was nowhere to be seen.
There was no other way, Yu Shulan could only discuss it with Lin Ge. This matter needed to be told to Li Dafu.
However, Lin Ge stopped Yu Shulan. She didn't want Li Dafu to know that she owed the bank 5,000 yuan. Otherwise, Li Dafu would feel that he had lost his usefulness and even felt that he was no match for Li Luo.
"Mom, please don't tell Dad about this. I'm afraid he can't accept it." Lin Ge said.
"What I want to talk about is Uncle Li's departure. Don't worry, Mom will keep the loan a secret for you, but this won't last forever. We still have to fill the hole in the money quickly."
Lin Ge also knew that the driver's departure was his fault, and Uncle Li was also very respected by Li Dafu. This time, he was really wrong.
There was no choice but for Lin Ge to agree.
After Yu Shulan made the call, the two took a taxi back home. Yu Shulan then brought some gifts and asked Lin Ge to hold them.
"We're going to Uncle Li's house in a while. You have to take the initiative to apologize to Uncle Li. Xiaoge, you're not a child anymore. You can't be so willful about this matter."
Along the way, Yu Shulan gave Lin Ge many instructions.
When Lin Ge arrived at Uncle Li's door, he hesitated: "Mom, I don't want to go. This is not my fault, and I just spoke a little harshly."
"Xiao Ge! Why are you still so willful at this time? Do you know that Uncle Li and the driver of the Qi family are brothers? If Uncle Li says something in front of her brother, how will the Qi family see you?"
Only after hearing these words did Lin Ge control his temper, and respectfully came to Uncle Li and apologized to him.
Uncle Li was really angry at Lin Ge's words. No matter what Lin Ge said, he just refused to reconcile with Lin Ge. In the end, it was Yu Shulan who spoke up: "Uncle Li, please forgive Xiao Ge for the sake of her youth and vigor."
"I will educate her well in the future, Uncle Li. I think your child Xiao An will soon graduate, right? Have you thought about where to do an internship?"
Yu Shulan's words suddenly aroused Uncle Li's interest. Although Lin Ge was a little domineering, Yu Shulan still respected Li Dafu and himself. If he gave in today, his son's job would be solved, and this deal would not be a loss.
"Alas!" Uncle Li sighed, "If it weren't for Mr. Li and Mrs. Yu, I really wouldn't have been bullied in the Li family. Madam, please judge for yourself, can I be blamed for this?"
"Uncle Li, it's Xiaoge who is ignorant. Please don't bother with her because she is your junior." Yu Shulan actively acted as a peacemaker.
Uncle Li is also a seasoned man, and when he saw that the time was right, he just went with the flow.
But Lin Ge kept this in mind. Li An was Uncle Li's son? She vaguely remembered that Li An seemed to be admitted to university, and had a good relationship with Li Luo and Qi Liancheng. Later, he started a company with Qi Liancheng.
If I could establish a good relationship with Uncle Li's son at this time, I might be able to use this noble person as my uncle to bring convenience to myself.
As a result, Lin Ge's attitude towards Uncle Li also changed: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry, all those things before were my fault. Please forgive me."
Lin Ge was rarely well-behaved, but in Uncle Li's eyes, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He always looked domineering when he saw Lin Ge. Did the sun rise from the west today? "No, it's okay." However, since Lin Ge had given him a way out, Uncle Li felt that he could no longer be so arrogant, and returned to the Li family smoothly.
After returning to the Li family, Lin Ge always mentioned things about his son Li An to Uncle Li intentionally or unintentionally.
"Uncle Li, Brother Li An has graduated from high school now. Doesn't he plan to go to college? Why is he planning to start an internship right after graduation?" Lin Ge asked casually.
Although Uncle Li didn't know why Lin Ge was interested in his son, he still answered Lin Ge's questions in detail.
"Miss, you don't know that Xiao An's mother has a physical disability. Most of the money I earned as a driver was used to treat Xiao An's mother's illness."
"Xiao An is a sensible child. She wants to save money for her mother's medical expenses after graduating from high school, so she plans to find a job directly instead of going to college."
"Uncle Li, going to college is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can you just give up on it?" Lin Ge said seriously.
"If it were me, I would definitely get a job assigned to me right after I go to college. Even though I'll start making money a few years later, I'll have a stable job. Besides, I'm a college student, and even in our city, there are very few of them."
Hearing Lin Ge's analysis, Uncle Li smiled bitterly and said, "Who doesn't want Xiao An to go to school? But, my family really can't afford it."
"Uncle Li, what are you and Xiaoge talking about?" Li Dafu asked with interest after hanging his clothes on the hanger after get off work.
"No, nothing, Mr. Li, it's just that the young lady expressed her concern for our Xiao An."
"Xiao An? I haven't seen that kid for a long time. He seems to be doing well in school. He should be in high school now, right?"
"I'm about to graduate from high school and have the college entrance exam today, but I don't want to go." Uncle Li said embarrassedly.
"Why not? If our Xiaoge can get into college, even if I have to sell everything I have, I will let her go to college. It will bring honor to our family."
"Mr. Li, the situation in our family..." Uncle Li lowered his head.
Li Dafu understood: "Don't worry, Uncle Li, if Xiao An has any difficulties with the expenses, I can help him. Then let him work under me, and I will definitely not treat him unfairly!"
When Li Dafu said these words, he also had his own considerations. After all, they still belonged to the old third class, and now the new third class has been replaced by several batches, and these old bones are about to retire one by one.
He also wanted to find a successor as soon as possible so that he could reap some benefits later.
Uncle Li was naturally overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "With Mr. Li's words, I, Li Qiang, would be willing to be a driver for the Li family for the rest of my life!"
Li Dafu's eyes flickered, and he had his own thoughts in his mind: "Xiao Ge, don't you also want to go to college? Why don't you let Uncle Li's son tutor you after he finishes the college entrance examination? Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Liancheng?"
"Ah?" Lin Ge, who was distracted, was puzzled.
