"Do you still want cash? I need it tonight?" Chen Zhizhi had no choice but to find a way out for herself.
Seeing her face flushed with anger, yet still forced to compromise, Li Ke felt little satisfaction. Perhaps it was because so much time had passed; although the Chen family had done many terrible things to her, many of them were now hazy in her memory and she couldn't quite recall them.
At that time, she was used to swallowing her grievances alone and slowly forgetting them, because she knew that remembering them would be useless. No one would stand up for her, and she could not make sacrifices or sell herself to find someone to rely on or take revenge.
Actually, it's because she herself can't get up and is useless.
Li Ke said calmly, "Yes, if you feel guilty for not meeting my requirements, you can take more money to comfort my wounded heart."
Hearing Li Ke say this, Chen Zhizhi actually breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "Okay, I'll go get it now. I'll get you 150,000 yuan. You can go back and have some fun and buy some things you like. I'll definitely help you if I see my brother and those two, but if I'm not there, you can't take your anger out on me."
Li Ke nodded to see the guest out, and before leaving, Chen Zhizhi asked again in a low voice, "Did you put the video back on? If anything goes wrong, neither of us will be in a good place."
Li Ke pushed her out: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, as long as I don't die, this thing is absolutely safe."
Chen Zhizhi stopped nagging and went out to get the money. The sounds of Chen Xian and Grandma Chen chatting and laughing downstairs could be heard faintly. Li Ke felt relieved seeing the peaceful and happy scene in the Chen family. It seemed that Zhang Tao had not contacted the Chen family.
If that's the case, then Zhang Tao probably didn't call the police either. Zhang Tao and his brother-in-law Chen Niansheng have always been very close. Even though his sister passed away early, their relationship remained close.
When something big or small happens at home, Zhang Tao might not contact his son or daughter immediately, but he would consult Chen Niansheng to find a solution.
But now it seems that Chen Niansheng clearly did not receive a call about the Zhang family's troubles.
Chen Zhizhi returned quickly. She gave the money to Li Ke and said considerately, "I'm not staying at home tonight. You can use my room as you like. You're going back to your hometown tomorrow, so I won't see you off."
Li Ke took the bag, feeling a little hungry, and said to Chen Zhizhi, "I haven't had dinner yet."
Chen Zhizhi suggested, "Shall I take you out to get something to eat?"
Li Ke shook her head: "Give me your phone, I'll just order some takeout."
As long as Li Ke doesn't cause trouble over the video, Chen Zhizhi feels she can get along well with him. She's at a crucial stage in her career, so she can only try to appease Li Ke.
Chen Zhizhi didn't ask Li Ke why she didn't use her own phone to order; she just wanted to take advantage of her. Chen Zhizhi didn't care about a meal; she simply handed her phone to Li Ke, which made her look down on her even more.
Li Ke opened a food delivery app and ordered ten buckets of a certain brand of family buckets at once. She also added three or four of various burger and roll combos to her cart. Then she saw her favorite spicy hot pot and ordered at least ten servings of her favorite flavors and ingredients.
I saw that they had boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, and sweet and sour fish, all in portions of ten or more. We also ordered the best and most expensive rice dishes, and kept asking for extra portions.
I found another nice soup shop, so I ordered ten servings of each kind of nourishing soup, and then I went to my favorite barbecue restaurant and ordered all the skewers I could find.
I found another highly-rated noodle shop and ordered ten servings of various favorite flavors, including steamed buns, fried dumplings, and pies.
As I scroll down, I see some nice Chinese restaurants, and I click on them to order a few of their signature dishes.
Finally, we went into a cake shop and ordered several of my favorite cakes and breads. I noted the same address and phone number on all of them and added expedited and warming fees. I also gave the delivery driver a tip.
Chen Zhizhi was getting impatient waiting, but she didn't dare to urge Li Ke, fearing that the girl would be unpredictable again. She waited until she saw the bill she brought over, which totaled 57,800.
Chen Zhizhi's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "Are you a pig? How could you order so much!"
Li Ke squinted at Li Zhizhi: "I remember you spend at least three or four thousand yuan a time at a Western restaurant, right? I suddenly remembered that on my first night in the Chen family, you poured a plate of food on me..."
Seeing Li Ke's increasingly grim expression as she recalled the past, Chen Zhizhi decisively paid the bill and whispered, "I just felt that too much would be a waste. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Besides, we were all young before. I'll treat you well from now on."
Li Ke: "I'm going out with you. I need to wait for the takeout outside. Also, you're not allowed to tell anyone about all the food I ordered. Delete the record yourself. If I find out that anyone is making fun of me about this, I'll hold you accountable."
Chen Zhizhi could only suppress her anger and say, "I understand."
As the two were going downstairs together, they ran into Li Zhenzhen and Chen Niansheng coming upstairs. When Li Zhenzhen saw Li Ke and Chen Zhizhi walking so close, her eyes darkened for a moment.
Chen Niansheng, seeing that Zuo Hui was currently doting on Chen Zhizhi, asked with concern, "Zhizhi, what are you doing downstairs now? I saw you just went out."
Chen Zhizhi blushed and said shyly, "I made plans to go out with my friends. I'm staying at an apartment near the company tonight, so I won't be coming back."
Chen Niansheng nodded, then looked at Li Ke, frowning slightly, and asked, "Is Xiao Ke going with you too?"
Chen Niansheng felt it wasn't a good idea; Li Ke's current appearance wasn't suitable for meeting someone of Zuo Hui's stature.
Chen Zhizhi quickly replied, "No, Xiao Ke wanted to go for a walk, and I happened to be going the same way as her, so we walked together for a while."
