"Luo Juan, I never expected to see you here today." Song Lili looked at Luo Juan with a half-smile as she entered.
"Song Lili, there's no need for you to be sarcastic. I know what you want to say," Luo Juan said through gritted teeth when she saw Song Lili.
"It seems you know me better than the worms in my stomach. I don't even know what I'm here for, yet you know. That's amazing."
"You... Song Lili, shut up!" Luo Juan's face turned red with anger, and she also felt nauseous.
Song Lili actually compared her to something as disgusting as a roundworm, how could Luo Juan not be angry?
And then there's Song Lili's current expression, which makes her want to tear her composed demeanor apart and see her in such a sorry state.
When old and new grudges are put together, all that can be seen is the crackling flame of hatred.
Song Lili ignored Luo Juan's words and walked to Zhang Aiai's side, hugging her shoulders and saying, "Aiai, it's okay."
"Really?" Zhang Aiai looked at Song Lili pitifully, as if waiting for hope.
Song Lili nodded, "Of course, it's okay, don't worry. With your brother and Dada here, everything will be fine."
Besides, there's her. She's always ready to help. I don't believe we can't handle Luo Juan.
If there's really no other way, she'll bring Qian Liulin out; she doesn't believe that Luo Juan really can't be dealt with.
However, things haven't reached that point yet, so she doesn't want to involve Qian Liulin.
“But…” Zhang Aiai still shrank back in fear, clinging even closer to Song Lili, as if that would make her feel safe.
Song Lili patted her arm, pressing harder, "Don't worry, you have to trust your brother, okay?"
Song Lili sighed inwardly; this was the only way she could comfort Zhang Aiai now.
Zhang Aiai has been overprotected and has no resilience at all, so now she reacts like a frightened bird whenever something happens.
She's far worse than Song Fang.
However, she is Zhang Qinghua's sister, so she still has to care about her to some extent, regardless of what she thinks.
“Look at your brother, he’s not flustered at all, so everything’s fine,” Song Lili said, pointing at Zhang Qinghua.
Zhang Aiai looked in the direction Song Lili pointed and found that it really seemed to be the case, which put her at ease.
She stopped crying, but was still sniffling, leaning on Song Lili's shoulder.
Song Lili glanced at Zhang Qinghua but didn't offer any help; Zhang Qinghua was capable of handling these matters himself.
Then Zhang Qinghua said, "You say my mother is a 'paper man' (a derogatory term for someone who uses paper money to commit crimes), do you have any evidence? Luo Juan, this isn't the first time you've done something like this, is it? If you want us to admit it, at least produce some evidence." Zhang Qinghua said calmly.
But deep down, he was relieved that he had listened to Song Lili and hidden all the books in the cave so that he could spend more time with her.
None of the books my mother left behind are here now; even if I searched, I couldn't find them.
Zhang Qinghua was especially grateful to Song Lili at this moment, thanking her for reminding him to do so in the past.
Thinking about it, he looked behind him and firmly caught Song Lili's figure, looking at her with deep emotion.
Song Lili received Zhang Qinghua's gaze, smiled at him, her eyes full of trust and an unspoken understanding between them.
Song Lili was also happy at this moment, happy that she had asked Zhang Qinghua to put all the family's belongings in the cave.
Because she knew this, she wasn't in a hurry at the moment.
Without evidence, how could Luo Juan possibly frame someone? There are plenty of people watching.
The sweet atmosphere between the two of them irritated Luo Juan, making her unable to hide the hatred in her eyes any longer.
"Evidence? We'll have it in a minute," Luo Juan said confidently.
This time, her attack was a surprise, and even if Zhang Qinghua wanted to move his things, he had neither the time nor the opportunity.
She used to know where Zhang Qinghua kept his books, even in the most secluded places.
Previously, Chu Lian had never been wary of Luo Juan and did nothing in secret from her, which Luo Juan was very confident in.
Song Lili looked at Luo Juan in surprise. Who gave her the courage to be so confident?
Song Lili was unaware of Luo Juan's thoughts. If she had known, she would have sneered and mocked Luo Juan for being foolish.
Even if there was no prior precaution, it was bound to happen when there was a rift between the two families.
Moreover, after all these years, does Luo Juan still understand? Does she still think things are the same as before?
Most importantly, she kept telling Zhang Qinghua that he must stay away from Luo Juan.
Although it didn't succeed in the end, at least it would leave some impression on Zhang Qinghua, right? With that, how could he not be wary of her?
I really don't know if this person is mentally ill.
"Once we've finished searching, we'll have evidence," Luo Juan said, and then ordered her men to rush in and search.
Zhang Qinghua didn't stop them at all, nor did he ask Zhang Qingguo or Zhang Shengtian to stop them. He just coldly watched those people rush in.
Under Song Lili's constant brainwashing, he had long since subconsciously come to accept her ideas, and had kept many important things in the cave.
Some time ago, while putting away the belongings of some elderly people, he searched the house again and took away some things that he had forgotten.
At this moment, the house is bare, and it would be difficult to find even a piece of paper, let alone a book.
He waited, waiting for Luo Juan's people to return empty-handed; that would be the time to settle accounts.
Song Lili didn't move either; there was no need for her to take action here. She was just worried.
I'm also waiting for Luo Juan to come back empty-handed. I wonder how she'll react then? I'm really looking forward to that time.
As Song Lili was watching with great interest, she suddenly saw Song Jianshe squeeze into the crowd, his eyes darting around as if searching for something.
Song Lili wondered, what was her older brother doing here? Had he also heard the news and come to check on her?
However, Song Lili didn't pay much attention to it; she just looked at Luo Juan with a smug look in her eyes and smiled.
Seeing that made Luo Juan furious; she wanted nothing more than to rush up and punch that woman, smashing her face to pieces.
Luo Juan felt like she was going crazy from Song Lili's gaze. If she hadn't been desperately trying to restrain herself, she probably would have rushed over long ago.
Song Lili watched Luo Juan grit her teeth in anger and laughed even more happily, her eyes filled with smugness.
She's known for a long time that she only feels uncomfortable when you smile in front of the enemy.
Because if you're uncomfortable, she'll be comfortable, and Song Lili won't give Luo Juan that kind of opportunity.
So all she could do was laugh, and the only one who could be angry was Luo Juan, since she certainly didn't want Luo Juan to be comfortable.
