Perhaps knowing Li Zhenzhen's hidden side, Li Ke felt even more that she was living a hypocritical life. If she really wanted their relationship to be good, she wouldn't have made Li Ke so different from Chen Jiaojiao and the others, and then let them trample on her.
Li Zhenzhen continued, "Keke, you've always been a good child who wouldn't covet other people's things. I know you're feeling unbalanced right now, which is why you're acting rebelliously. I hope that after you calm down, you can think carefully about whether what you did was really right. If you were given things that don't belong to you, would you really feel at ease?"
Ignoring Li Zhenzhen's words, Li Ke took a snack and ate it slowly. The two remained silent for a while.
Li Zhenzhen felt ignored by Li Ke and sensed her contempt. She endured the embarrassment and sat for a while longer.
Li Ke remained silent, but Li Zhenzhen didn't want to continue the conversation. She broke the silence by saying, "It's getting late. Are you going back now or staying out here a little longer?"
Li Ke finished the snack in her hand and asked Li Zhenzhen, "Aren't you going back? I want to go back with you."
There will definitely be a storm when we get back, and Li Ke will use Li Zhenzhen as her shield.
Li Zhenzhen picked up her phone to check the time, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
Then Li Zhenzhen deleted some messages from her phone, and then sent a few messages to the man upstairs. After seeing the reply, he stood up and said to Li Zhenzhen, "Let's go."
When the doorman saw Li Zhenzhen and Li Ke stand up one after the other, he quickly came over to help put all the shopping bags on the trolley, and then followed the two guests to the parking lot.
The driver was standing at the back of the car smoking. When he saw Li Zhenzhen coming over, he quickly threw away his cigarette butt and stomped it out. He then turned around and secretly sprayed a mouthful of air freshener before running over to open the car door.
He clearly hadn't expected Li Zhenzhen to come out at this time. Li Ke was a little surprised to see the driver waiting there as well.
After Li Zhenzhen and Li Ke were both in the car, the driver quickly helped the doorman put all his things in the trunk, gave the doorman a tip, and then went back to the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and drove away.
After Li Ke got into the car, she kept looking at her phone. Li Zhenzhen, unusually, took the initiative to ask, "How was your trip back home? You didn't answer my calls, but you seemed fine judging from your expression. Do you have any plans for the future? Are you going to continue your studies or go work for your aunt?"
Without looking up, Li Ke said, "It's not appropriate for someone like me, who hasn't even gotten a high school diploma, to work for her, is it?"
“Your aunt thinks highly of you, and often academic qualifications don’t really matter in the workplace. As long as you’re willing to learn, you won’t be any worse than others,” Li Zhenzhen added.
Li Ke turned to look at her: "You really want me to work for her? To continue making me work for free, just like at the Chen family's gas station and supermarket, as a free delivery worker, and then when I go back to the Chen family, I'll be scolded by the old lady for being a freeloader. I'll do a ton of housework every day, I won't dare to lift my head, I won't dare to speak, and I'll still be scolded for being restless and ungrateful."
Li Ke spoke very calmly, without any emotional fluctuation. Even someone as observant as Li Zhenzhen, who is very good at reading people's expressions and thoughts, couldn't tell whether Li Ke was angry or not.
Li Zhenzhen frowned and said softly, "Keke, you have really changed a lot. You have never said these things before. I thought you did all this willingly."
Li Ke stared at Li Zhenzhen and scoffed, then looked at her with the same disdainful gaze he had for trash and said, "Funny!"
Li Zhenzhen knew that Li Ke was really angry this time. She felt both a sense of satisfaction and a lot of resentment.
Soon, the car drove into the courtyard of the Chen family villa. Li Ke asked the driver to take her things to the small living room on the third floor, where she would put them in her room herself in a little while.
The driver had a vague feeling that his boss had been suppressed by his eldest daughter, who was not publicly acknowledged, so he obediently responded and went to get something from the trunk.
Li Ke had already seen Aunt Chen run to the front gate, take a look, and then quickly run back. It seemed that this woman was quite resilient.
