"good!"
Li Ao brought Han Miao and her sister into his room. The three little ones closed the door and no one knew what they were doing inside.
Yan Qingxiu also came along. When he saw Su Beibei, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing.
After playing for a while, Song Ci got up and said goodbye.
Song Ci held Han Miao's hand, and Yan Qingxiu held Han Jun's hand. The four of them walked to the car. Song Ci opened the car door, and Han Miao and Han Jun obediently climbed onto the child seats and sat down.
Song Ci buckled their seat belts and returned to the passenger seat, where she heard Yan Qingxiu say, "Has Ms. Su been in trouble recently?"
Song Ci remembered that Yan Qingxiu could tell fortunes and read faces, so she asked him, "What did you see?"
Yan Qingxiu said something softly, and when Song Ci heard it, he immediately frowned.

In the afternoon, Su Beibei prepared dinner with her aunt. Her aunt muttered, "I've been working in this family for so long, and this is the first time I've met Mr. Li's mother."
The aunt knew that Su Beibei had a bad relationship with Mr. Li's mother, so she would not mention each other if possible.
The aunt was really surprised to learn that the old lady would come over for dinner today.
Su Beibei said: "In fact, this is the first time I've eaten at the same table with her since I gave birth to Neil and moved out."
Auntie didn't know what the grudge between Su Beibei and Li's mother was. She sighed, "They say the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult, but it's rare for it to be so strained like yours. We're all women, why make things difficult for women?"
Su Beibei didn't say anything and didn't know how to answer.
At five o'clock, the two began to cook. Around half past six, Li Li picked up his mother and aunt Dong Yu.
Li Li could have entered the password to go home, but in order to show respect for Su Beibei, he did not open the door and go home directly. Instead, he stood at the door and knocked.
Su Beibei responded: "I'm coming!"
She walked to the door, took a deep breath, gave a gentle smile to the mirror on the wall, and then opened the door.
"Are you back?"
Su Beibei was afraid that her smile would appear stiff, so she didn't dare to change the angle of her mouth.
Li Li nodded, turned around and said to the two women behind him, "Aunt, Mom, come in." After that, Li Li went into the house to see Li Ao.
Dong Yu was holding some gifts in her hands. She smiled and said to Su Beibei, "Beibei, are you cooking? I can smell the aroma of food."
Su Beibei took Dong Yu's gift with a smile and said hurriedly, "Aunt, please come in. The food is ready and we are waiting for you."
This was a perfectly normal statement, but Li's mother sneered, "You're disgusted with us for dawdling and coming in late."
Su Beibei's smile immediately collapsed.
She wasn't just trying to make up a smile. Li's mother was always targeting her, but she was still smiling. That was just a shame. Su Beibei stood straight, staring at Li's mother, and said in a dignified manner: "Mom, my aunt has come from afar, so I should prepare food in advance and not neglect her. I said this to express my warmth and welcome to my aunt, and I don't mean to dislike you."
"Besides, people think like people. You always look at me with the utmost contempt, which proves how contemptible your mind is."
This is the first time Su Beibei confronts Li's mother head-on!
Li's mother was shocked and gave her a strange look. Finally, she said to Dong Yu, "You see, she has published a few books, and she likes to quibble with words, calling me uneducated and a despicable person."
Su Beibei: "You said that yourself."
As soon as Dong Yu entered the house, he immediately regretted it.
She shouldn't have come. She should have gone back to Guangdong as soon as the sun rose. Why should she get involved in the battle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Now that Li Li has become successful and has a successful career, he is the most accomplished child in the Li family. Naturally, Dong Yu wants to curry favor with Li Li.
She was not stupid, so she could see where Li Li's heart leaned. It was obvious that Su Beibei was Li Li's sweetheart, and the sister-in-law was embarrassing herself.
Li Li walked out of the room holding Li Ao. Seeing the three women standing at the entrance, he frowned, strode over, and said coldly, "Mom, Aunt, come in and sit down. What are you standing here for?"
After saying that, he stretched out his long arm to hold Su Beibei's waist, lowered his head, and said in an intimate tone: "Thank you for your hard work, go wash your hands, I'll set the table."
Seeing Li Li's appearance, Li's mother was even more furious, and Dong Yu realized more clearly the importance of Su Beibei to Li Li.
Su Beibei and her aunt cooked eight dishes together, with a balanced combination of meat and vegetables. They were all common home-cooked dishes, without any delicacies from land or sea, and without any extravagance or waste.
But after Li's mother sat down, she stared at the two plates of seasonal vegetables in front of her and started to find fault with them again. Pointing at the plates, she said, "You deliberately put two bowls of greens in front of me. Are you afraid that I will eat meat?"
Li's mother looked aggrieved and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I'm disliked when I'm old. Even eating a meal is disliked by others."
Su Beibei's expression remained unchanged. She stood up and handed the delicious fish and meat on the table to Li's mother, "Mom, please eat more."
Mother Li glanced at Su Beibei coldly and smiled sarcastically, "Let me eat more? Are you mocking me? Do you think I eat too much and you look down on me? Do you think I'm vulgar? I've lost face for you guys?"
Su Beibei gave her a gloomy look, said nothing more, and sat back down.
"Li Li, look at your wife, she's glaring at me. Look at the look in her eyes! Hey, is she going to eat me?" Mother Li slammed the table in front of her and continued, "This is the first time I've come to your house for dinner in two years, and you're treating me like this?"
Li Li didn't say anything. He picked up a taro and put it in Li's mother's bowl, saying, "Mom, the doctor said you can't get too emotional. Eat more and talk less."
Shut up now!
Li's mother: "..."
Dong Yu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She frowned and advised Li's mother: "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. The patient can't eat anything too greasy. I see this table full of dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, soup and meat. Beibei really put a lot of thought into it."
Li's mother said, "You were deceived by her appearance. When they first got married, I thought she was a nice person. But after spending a long time together, I finally saw her true face."
"Don't be fooled by her gentle and virtuous appearance now. She looks like a real person, but you don't know that she took advantage of the fact that her parents were killed by Li Yaode and took the compensation from the sale of my house to live a carefree life abroad!"
"If her parents knew that she was squandering the deceased's wealth, who knows..."
Bang!
It was the sound of breaking glass, which frightened Li's mother so much that she immediately shut her mouth.
She looked towards Li Li in fear and trepidation, only to find that Li Li had actually crushed a cup with his bare hands!
He was still holding the broken quilt in his right hand, and the sharp glass fragments pierced into his palm, causing blood to drip.
