After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Boss's Favorite (22)

Now, only Li Shu and his mother remained in the room.

"What does mom want to ask?" Li Shu knew it was probably about his career, but he pretended not to know.

"A few days ago, when I took your father downstairs, I overheard two girls talking about you. You're not working in your senior brother's lab anymore?" Mother Li asked cautiously, observing Li Shu's reaction, afraid of upsetting him.

"Mom knows something, right?" Although phrased as a question, Li Shu's tone was affirmative, no longer hiding the truth.

"The thing about joining your senior brother's lab was just to ease your and dad's minds. I was discovered by the talent scout from Mo Lan Entertainment at that time and entered the entertainment industry. It's been that way ever since."

After knowing her son was a star, Mother Li inquired about some aspects of the entertainment industry and knew Mo Lan was a big company. She was initially anxious but felt relieved after hearing her son's affirmative answer.

"What about Mr. Mo..."

Mother Li remembered clearly that they came to this hospital because of Mr. Mo's arrangement, and Father Li received the best treatment all thanks to Mr. Mo.

"He's my friend."

The same answer as before, but now Mother Li wasn't as naïve as before. The more she knew about the entertainment industry, the more worried she became about Li Shu's situation.

Not to boast, but Li Shu's appearance stood out even in the glamorous entertainment industry where handsome men and beautiful women gathered. Just a few days ago, news broke about a certain actress being kept by a big shot. Mother Li couldn't help but think too much about Li Shu's situation.

"Is he really just a friend?"

Mr. Mo and they were from completely different worlds. Without Li Shu as a link, they would never have crossed paths. Mother Li was clearly aware of this. Previously, she was worried about Father Li's condition and didn't think much about it. After his condition stabilized, she thought about it again, and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.

When she has doubts in her mind, she would usually be more attentive than usual. With this attention, Mother Li felt more convinced that something was off about their interaction.

Leaving aside how an ordinary student like Li Shu could know someone like Mr. Mo, just Mr. Mo's attitude towards Li Shu was not what ordinary friends would have.

"Mom, where are you going with this?" Li Shu helped her sit down, "Have you heard anyone say anything in the past few days, what can be between us? Didn't I say it before? It just happened. I was in a hurry to record the show, so I had to ask him for help. He just has a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise he wouldn't be able to manage a big company, right? "

The worry between Mother Li's brow continued, "I know it has not been easy for you these past few years, and it is our fault that you have to bear such a heavy burden at such a young age..."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Shu interrupted her, "Alright, don't overthink it. My career is getting better and better now, isn't that something to be happy about? I've rented a house here. When dad's health improves a bit, you can move in. Don't worry about other things, I'm here."

"Mom, I'm actually very happy," Li Shu squatted in front of his mother and looked into her eyes, "Everything I have now is my own choice. I really like my current job. It's a completely new field for me and a fresh start. Don't feel like you owe me anything. To be honest, I'm more satisfied with my current life than I would have been with the conventional path of studying and working."
