She raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Luo Juan? It's been a long time."
Thinking about it, I feel a little dazed. It seems like it's been a long time since I last saw them. It feels like a lifetime ago.
How long has it been since they last saw each other? Probably ten years, right?
Time really flies!
She sighed here, but Luo Juan's face was contorted with anger, looking like she wanted to devour someone.
"It's me. Didn't expect to see me here, did you? Didn't expect to appear in front of you again?"
Upon seeing Song Lili, all the humiliations they had suffered in the past surged forth and rushed out in a frenzy.
She remembered those things she had deliberately forgotten.
She also came to some conclusions that she later came to understand.
Why did she always lose back then? Why was Song Lili always so confident?
Later, she understood that it was because someone was helping Song Lili, and that person was from the town.
That's why she lost so badly.
Now, seeing Song Lili is like enemies meeting with intense hatred.
"I never expected this. I thought I would never see him again in this lifetime, but who could have imagined that we would actually meet?"
Compared to Luo Juan's agitation and anger, Song Lili was much calmer. Apart from her initial surprise, she remained calm and composed throughout.
However, the more she acted this way, the more she provoked Luo Juan, the angrier she became, and the less she could let go of the resentment.
Why? Why is Song Lili able to stand here so calmly? What gives her the right to be like this?
Shouldn't she be like dirt, sinking to the ground, and trampled underfoot?
What gives her the right to stand here, neither humble nor arrogant, neither angry nor resentful, as if nothing has happened?
Should she feel guilty? Shouldn't she feel ashamed of herself?
She's a college student now.
Remembering that she was now a college student, Luo Juan immediately calmed down, and the anger on her face vanished in an instant.
She haughtily smoothed her hair, glancing at Song Lili with disdain. "Yes, life is so unpredictable. I never expected to run into you like this."
"By the way, what are you doing here? Do you work here? That's pretty good." Then, he looked around, as if giving a handout.
"I heard the benefits here are pretty good, and the hot pot here is also good. Since you work here, you must have eaten it."
"Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to eat such delicious food."
“We’re from the same village, after all. I’m at Capital University. If you ever have any difficulties, you can come to me.” She pointed to Capital University, which wasn’t far away.
Song Lili looked at Luo Juan with amusement, finding her arrogant attitude incredibly funny.
How did Luo Juan become like this? It makes you feel that talking to her lowers your own social standing.
Back in Hongqi Village, they were enemies and adversaries, so what exactly did she go through in the past ten years?
Song Lili smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment. Of course, the food in our shop is delicious."
Shouldn't you feel happy when your opponent praises you?
"But forget about you. You're just a student. What can you do to help me? Besides, I have a husband. I don't need your help."
Now, Luo Juan probably can't help her either, right?
"Husband? Zhang Qinghua? Is he with you too? What are they doing?" Upon hearing Zhang Qinghua's name, Luo Juan paused for a moment, then asked casually.
"He's at Capital University, just like you," Song Lili said, satisfying Luo Juan's curiosity.
Luo Juan's face turned ugly for a moment, then recovered, but she could no longer maintain her arrogant smile.
"That's true. Zhang Qinghua is one of the few high school graduates, so it's not surprising that he was able to get into university."
Then, she looked at Song Lili with disdain and said, "So you came to the capital with him? And you're working here?"
Song Lili nodded, "I guess so? After all, she's the boss, so it doesn't seem wrong for her to say she works here."
Now, Luo Juan acted as if she had caught Qinghua red-handed, demanding, "Why don't you think about Qinghua's feelings?"
"How could I not think about him?" Song Lili was confused. What was the connection between these two things?
"Qinghua is a college student, after all. Aren't you embarrassing him by working here? How is he supposed to get along with his classmates at school?"
“The people who work here are all low-class, they don’t have formal jobs. If you’re here, you’re just bringing shame to Qinghua.”
Luo Juan's few words offended everyone here.
Several waiters who overheard this looked over, glaring angrily at Luo Juan, looking as if they were about to rush up and confront her.
However, they were still mindful that they were in the store, so they just glared angrily at Luo Juan.
Song Lili looked at Luo Juan with a cold smile. This person really thinks she's something?
Does being a college student make you some kind of emperor? How ridiculous.
"Luo Juan, I think you might really overestimate yourself. You're just a college student, is that all that makes you think you're so superior?"
"Most of the people you look down on, the people you consider low-class, are students from the main avenue of the city. They are studying there just like you. You are no more noble than them."
"On the contrary, I think they are better than you. They earn money with their own hands to support themselves, and I don't think there's anything shameful about it."
"What's wrong with being here? With my own efforts, no matter who I am, I can go out and tell others with my head held high that I am not shameful."
"What right do you have to look down on them? Where do you get the audacity to think you're superior?"
“Let me tell you, I’m also from Capital University, I’m in there too, just like you.”
"But I don't think I'm superior or any kind of person. The fact that you can study here only proves that your grades are better than others, and maybe your job will be better than others in the future."
"Apart from these, nothing proves that you are no different from anyone else here; you are just an ordinary person."
"What right do you have to be so proud of yourself?"
Luo Juan has truly angered Song Lili this time, because of her words and the people she targeted.
Song Lili is also protective of her own people, especially her own.
We've worked together for so long and our temperaments are compatible, so we all treat each other as good friends.
Today, someone actually humiliated her friend in front of her. How could she remain unmoved and tolerate it?
She has never been good-tempered with Luo Juan, whether in the past or now. If you offend her, she will retaliate without hesitation.
Because she was angry, her voice became quite loud, and many people in the store heard what she said.
