"I left some food in the kitchen." Aunt Xu smiled shyly, her eyes glancing repeatedly at Li Shanxing, but Li Shanxing pretended not to see it. She didn't want to eat in the kitchen. Why should Xiao Li be able to eat outside while she had to go to the kitchen?

"If you want to eat in the kitchen, go by yourself. Don't drag the child along."

The old lady glanced at her with displeasure. Aunt Xu dared not call her daughter again, but her eyes showed even more dissatisfaction. She gave Li Shanxing a subtle glare and went to the kitchen to eat.

However, Aunt Xu planned not to let her daughter come to the Sang residence again. She only agreed this time because she couldn't persuade her daughter otherwise. But she didn't expect that her usually sensible daughter would be so rude after arriving, sitting outside to eat in a very casual manner. What kind of behavior is that!

Ye Qingqing watched coldly. Although she did not agree with Aunt Xu's practice of eating in the kitchen, she also disliked Li Shanxing. This girl did not seem as simple and honest as she appeared!

She could clearly see the look in Li Shanxing's eyes when she looked at Bruno just now—a look full of ambition and desire, hehe!

No wonder Aunt Xu has been working here for several months, but Li Shanxing has never come once. But this time she suddenly showed up. It must be related to Bruno. But Aunt Xu probably doesn't know anything about it. Li Shanxing is much more cunning than her mother!

"Is Shanxing in second grade?" the old lady asked politely.

"Yes, the second half of the year is the third year," Li Shanxing said softly, her expression shy, but her eyes kept glancing at Bruno across from her.

Unfortunately, Bruno was more interested in the food. Although there was no oil-splashed noodles, Bruno still ate with great relish. He felt that he had wasted the previous thirty-odd years of his life, and that the food he had eaten was not even as good as that of Chinese pigs!

"Xing'er, you'll be able to start working in two more years. Will you stay in Pingjiang or go back to the county town?" Xiao Li asked with great envy.

Her biggest regret was not being able to go to university, but she was simply not cut out for studying. No amount of studying, not even hanging her head from the rafters or piercing her thigh with an awl, would work. Unlike Li Shanxing, who was academically gifted and ranked first every year from elementary to middle school, she was always at the bottom of the class.

"Of course, it's Pingjiang."

Li Shanxing was resolute. Having already experienced the prosperity of big cities, she would never go back to her small hometown, a run-down place without even a KFC. What could she do there?

"Then you need to be careful now, it's quite difficult to find a job here," Xiao Li said, worried for her friend.

After starting her own company, she became even more aware of the difficulties faced by college graduates from other places in staying in Pingjiang. It's easy to stay, but it's extremely difficult to put down roots.

Li Shanxing's face darkened slightly. She thought Xiao Li was showing off that he had started his own company, while she, a college student, was having trouble finding a job. In her heart, Xiao Li was no longer her friend.

She even harbored some resentment towards Xiao Li.

Because her grandparents and father always compared her to Xiao Li, saying that although Xiao Li was not good at school, she could make money, and even in a big city like Pingjiang. The things she bought for the New Year were rare items that the villagers had never seen before.

Previously, Li Shanxing had better grades and a more outstanding appearance than Xiao Li, and was better than Xiao Li in every way. But later, the situation reversed. The villagers, including her family, were proud of Xiao Li because he was better at making money.

That's why Li Shanxing didn't hesitate to fill in Pingjiang Normal University when filling out her college application. She just wanted to prove herself and believed she would do better than Xiao Li!

"I can find a job, you don't need to worry about it," Li Shanxing said softly, her tone not very friendly.

Xiao Li was taken aback for a moment, but didn't take it seriously. Li Shanxing had been talking like this every time she went home for the past few years, and she had gotten used to it. Li Shanxing's family situation was indeed a mess, and Xiao Li could understand her friend's bad mood.
