Song Yanzhi felt as if he had been bumped in the chest.
She didn't know why she made that request, but for a moment just now, she was indeed taken aback by Pei Yuchen.
Perhaps it was because she disliked Zhou Qiao that she maliciously wanted to ruin their relationship. Even if she divorced Pei Yuchen, she couldn't let her get together so easily.
But she is clearly his wife, yet she has to resort to such methods.
But why could he agree to her so easily? Why wasn't he like this in her previous life? If he had been like this in her previous life, she wouldn't have been so desperate.
Because of everything that happened in the previous life, the son died tragically.
There was no way she could forgive him anymore.
The next day, Li Baozhu led her relatives and friends to a restaurant in the city for a meal.
Li Yuehua and Song's father were also with them.
Mr. Song's expression was not good.
He didn't want to come, but his wife said it was their daughter's request.
It was not only to celebrate Li Baozhu's birthday, but also to ease the tension between the two families.
What happened last time was indeed excessive, but her brother was already beaten so badly that it's all in the past now.
Li Yuehua felt that since her daughter had taken the initiative to invite her to dinner to celebrate Baozhu's new job, she must be thinking of making up.
After all, they're still relatives. Even if you were angry, so much time has passed, there's no need to hold a grudge.
Moreover, Baozhu also said that it was her daughter who asked to invite her father to go together.
Since she was the one who invited him, she must have wanted his father to let the matter drop.
This incident has made her life quite difficult lately.
Now things are finally coming to a perfect end.
Li Yuehua was very happy. The group took a car into the city and went to the same restaurant they had visited last time.
Compared to Li Baozhu, who held her chin high and looked confident, the others became somewhat apprehensive upon seeing such a wonderful place.
This place looks very expensive.
It's more expensive than a state-run restaurant!
As soon as Li Baozhu mentioned her name, a waiter led her inside.
Such an expensive restaurant! Last time they came, my aunt borrowed a lot of money. It's a place only wealthy business owners frequent.
I never expected Song Yanzhi to be so willing to go to such lengths to please me.
A strange feeling flashed through Li Baozhu's mind, but she was quickly interrupted by the others.
Her friends from her hometown, covering their mouths in amazement and looking completely unseen, exclaimed, "Baozhu, has your family struck it rich? They've actually invited us to such a nice restaurant for dinner!"
"Yeah, it must be very expensive."
"My God, I can't believe I'm coming to such a luxurious place one day."
Li Baozhu was flattered by everyone, and her vanity reached its peak.
He smiled modestly and said, "It's nothing. Once I start working, I'll treat you to a better place to eat."
Everyone's smiles became even more pleasing.
Mr. Song frowned. Even if his daughter wanted to ease tensions, there was no need to book such an expensive restaurant. He knew his daughter wasn't having an easy time either.
Besides, it wasn't her fault, so there's no need for her to apologize first.
Could it be that the wife used some method to force her daughter again?
Thinking of this possibility, Song's father's face darkened even further.
Li Yuehua didn't notice her husband's unpleasant expression and continued to smile as she invited everyone to take their seats.
Soon, Manager Wang arrived as well.
Li Baozhu warmly invited him to take a seat.
Manager Wang looked somewhat displeased upon seeing so many people, but he held back, seemingly lost in thought.
That's still giving Li Baozhu face.
The waiter then took the menu.
Li Baozhu immediately started ordering food.
Someone nearby said, "Isn't your sister still not here? Aren't we waiting for her?"
Li Baozhu said, "She said that when we arrive, we should order first, and she will come over after get off work. I think we still have about ten minutes. It's the same if she comes over to eat after we order. We can't keep everyone waiting."
Actually, what she was thinking was that since Song Yanzhi was coming, she shouldn't order expensive dishes. If she ordered now, she wouldn't be able to cancel them later.
Thinking this way, Li Baozhu naturally pointed to the restaurant's most expensive signature dishes and ordered more than a dozen of them before stopping.
Even Li Yuehua, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but gasp. She wanted to say something, but since everyone was watching them, she felt embarrassed.
For some reason, she felt a little flustered.
Although it was said that her daughter was treating her to dinner, the restaurant was so expensive that Baozhu's meal cost her a month's salary.
She also felt sorry for her daughter about the money.
But considering it was such an important day, and that his daughter was hosting now, he figured Baozhu would definitely host a dinner in the future when she had more money, so he didn't say anything.
The dishes were served one by one, and in order to please Manager Wang, Li Baozhu also ordered a bottle of good wine.
Seeing that she was so cooperative this time, Manager Wang's previous displeasure dissipated somewhat, and he finally showed a more pleasant expression.
Although there were many dishes, there were also many people. None of them had ever eaten such good food before, so they scrambled for the dishes as soon as they were served, and there wasn't much left in no time.
Mr. Song didn't touch his chopsticks; he just watched, his face grim.
The food was all eaten before their daughter even arrived. What will they eat when she comes?
He felt increasingly sorry for his daughter, wondering why she had to act so weak.
Look, they don't even consider her a threat.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they realized that Song Yanzhi hadn't arrived yet.
Li Baozhu came to her senses and panicked a little.
She was worried that Song Yanzhi might be setting a trap for her on purpose.
However, the next second, a familiar person walked in from outside.
