After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Boss's Favorite (39)

Mo Yanzhi stared at Li Shu's back, the light in his eyes flickering. He couldn't convince himself to let go of the unease about that forgotten past, so similar incidents were bound to happen. He didn't regret being upfront now; the longer it dragged on, the greater the complications would be. It's best to speak up early to solve the problem sooner.

Li Shu didn't know what he was thinking. He stood in front of the window and answered the phone. It was rare that the person talking on the other side of the phone was Father Li.

Li Shu had little contact with the original owner's parents, and comparatively even less with Father Li. In the original plot, there wasn't much introduction about Father Li. Li Shu could only vaguely see him as a pitiful father who didn't want to burden his son and was bent by life, but in reality, Father Li was a very wise man.

In just a few sentences, Li Shu outlined an image of an elegant man in his mind. Talking to someone like this was undoubtedly enjoyable.

First, Father Li briefly asked about the situation on Li Shu's side. After getting the answer, he talked about what happened this morning. This matter was neither big nor small. Just from the fact that the other party could produce so many private photos of Li Shu, it could indicate many problems.

First and foremost was the issue of security. Being able to take so many intimate photos of Li Shu and Mo Yanzhi, it was certain that they knew their whereabouts very well. This time it was just taking photos, but what if next time they had other intentions?

"You've grown up. Your mom and I won't pry into your private affairs. I believe you can handle this matter well. Xiao Shu, remember, you're in a position where you'll become a thorn in many people's eyes. Remember, arrogance is a thorn in one's side." Father Li's gentle voice came through the phone. He was proud of his son, whom he had educated single-handedly. Although for various reasons, his son took a completely different path from the planned one halfway through. But no matter which field it is, Li Shu has never let him down.

"This time it's my fault. Dad, you can rest assured, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. No one will disturb you and Mom's peace." Li Shu's lowered eyes had a storm brewing.

"We're not blaming you. We're a family. You don't need to say such formal words. It's just that there are some things you need to always remember. Don't capsize the boat where you shouldn't. The entertainment industry is different from other places. We can't help much, everything depends on your own efforts," Father Li's tone became slightly serious. "As I am now, not being a burden or causing you trouble is already good enough."

Li Shu frowned, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'burden' to family?"

In the original plot, the situation of the original owner's family was much worse than now. Father Li couldn't withstand the double torture of mental and physical stress and chose to pass away quietly. This became the last straw that crushed the original owner's family. The current situation is much better than in the original plot. To avoid tragedy, Li Shu would repeat some words over and over again.

"You're right," Father Li chuckled softly, "Take care of your side, you don't need to worry about this side, we won't easily believe what others say. Your mom and I still have some judgment."

Li Shu was about to mention this matter, and unexpectedly, Father Li brought it up first. He fell silent for a moment and asked, "Won't you ask about the photos?"

In the country where the original owner was located, being together as a male-female couple was the norm. Don't look at fans getting excited over CP, transitioning to real-life relationships often resulted in losing fans. Young people might be more accepting, but in the eyes of older generations like the Li Couple, liking the same gender was seen as an "illness" and was not socially accepted. Li Shu thought Father Li and Mother Li would question him immediately after seeing those photos, even ordering him to distance himself from Mo Yanzhi.
