"Tell her I'm fine, and that she shouldn't worry. Just focus on your studies, and I'll feel at ease."
"I'll write to her when I get back and tell her how she's doing." Wu Ying's wrinkles seemed to have deepened, but the curve of her lips was wider, and she was happy.
This child was truly well cared for; all those years of effort were ultimately worthwhile.
“That’s good. Only after you’ve told Fangfang will she be truly at ease,” Song Lili nodded.
She was pleased that her younger sister was able to maintain a good relationship with Wu Ying. Although she didn't expect to gain any benefit from it, the subtle influence was still there.
Therefore, Song Lili was very happy.
"Lili, you're here?" Qian Liulin came out from behind and saw Song Lili, so he immediately came over to greet her.
"Brother Qian," Song Lili said with a smile as she stopped and watched Qian Liulin walk over.
When facing Qian Liulin, Song Lili's smile became much more genuine, without any polite distance, revealing a secret sense of closeness.
"Come on, I've already ordered the food, it'll be served in a bit. You probably haven't been here before, the food here is pretty good, you can try it. I ordered what you like."
Qian Liulin smiled as he looked at Song Lili and said, "I'll introduce you to the other two. They are Grandpa Li's grandson and Grandma Zhao's granddaughter."
The people who came today are all younger members of the family, who can be considered to be of the same generation as Song Lili.
They were about the same age as Qian Liulin, and about seven or eight years older than Song Lili.
"Okay, I understand." Song Lili nodded to indicate that she understood.
Qian Liulin's words were also a way of indirectly reminding Song Lili who was here today, so that she would be aware of who it was.
Song Lili naturally knew the situation and understood that the problem likely lay with these two people.
If it's Qian Liulin and Wu Ying, then there's no need to bring two other people.
Therefore, Song Lili must find out what these two people are really up to.
Upon opening the door to the private room, Qian Liulin went in first, followed by Song Lili, and finally Wu Ying.
After the door to the private room closed, Qian Liulin smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Song Lili." He pointed to Song Lili and said.
"This is Li Yuanyi, and this is Zhao Xiaoxi. You can call them elder brother and elder sister." Then he introduced the other two people to Song Lili.
Song Lili looked over and saw a man and a woman, the man standing and the woman sitting, both looking at her.
The man was tall and straight, exuding an aura of towering grandeur.
The woman was dressed very fashionably, or rather, very stylishly. She wore a long dress, her hair was neatly styled, and she had light makeup on her face. She was clearly a refined person.
Song Lili couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and smile knowingly. The expressions on these two people's faces were quite interesting.
The man, Li Yuanyi, had an expressionless face and calm, unwavering eyes, yet they were like the deep sea, unfathomable, as if they contained the vast world within.
At first glance, Song Lili knew that this person was a deep and thoughtful individual. He was good at hiding his emotions, and unless he himself was willing to reveal them, no one else would be able to tell.
The woman, Zhao Xiaoxi, was easy to understand. She was looking at Song Lili with a deep sense of wariness in her eyes.
Song Lili saw into the deepest part of Zhao Xiaoxi's eyes. She saw the wariness, disdain, and contempt within them.
She didn't care; she wouldn't have much contact with this person in the future, so there was no need.
She nodded slightly, her demeanor poised and graceful. "Hello."
There was no flattery or fawning; it was just a tone as if he were talking to a stranger.
"Hello," Li Yuanyi said to Song Lili after her. Zhao Xiaoxi remained silent.
"Alright. Now that everyone knows each other, let's sit down and talk." Wu Ying smiled and pulled Song Lili to sit down to the side.
Qian Liulin walked over and sat on the other side of Song Lili. The other two sat opposite them, creating a clear sense of separation.
“Miss Song, I invited you here today to thank you for taking care of my grandfather.” Li Yuanyi looked at Song Lili with sincere eyes.
"I had a mission before, so I haven't been able to find the time. Please forgive me." As she spoke, she bowed her head slightly, perfectly demonstrating her good upbringing.
"It's alright, I just get along well with a few elderly people." The implication was that it wasn't because of you that I felt this way, so your gratitude was insignificant to me.
A glint flashed quickly in Li Yuanyi's eyes, then disappeared, and he returned to his original state.
No one noticed Li Yuanyi's change; everyone's attention was focused on Song Lili's words.
After hearing this, Qian Liulin and Wu Ying simply lowered their heads and smiled faintly. Lili's words were truly sincere, yet undeniably true.
Because what she said was true.
However, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't think so. She always felt that Song Lili was deep and cunning. The reason she could treat the elderly people so well for ten years was because she knew their identities.
She simply didn't believe that Song Lili had no ulterior motives or intentions.
So, Zhao Xiaoxi chuckled, which was quite obvious in the small space, and everyone heard it.
Song Lili looked over calmly, then turned her head and continued to look at Li Yuanyi, ignoring this obvious provocation.
Qian Liulin and Wu Ying frowned, looking at Zhao Xiaoxi with some disapproval.
Regardless of Zhao Xiaoxi's psychological perspective, her current behavior is very impolite and contradicts the education they received from childhood.
Therefore, they were not very happy.
Perhaps only Li Yuanyi was normal, or rather, he acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
"I wonder what brings you here today?" Song Lili was too lazy to say much and went straight to the point.
"What else could it be? Of course, we came to see you." To see what kind of person this elderly gentleman and lady had been thinking about so much.
“I think you’ve already seen it,” Song Lili said calmly.
Now that I see it, can I leave?
“Of course,” Li Yuanyi quickly replied, preventing Zhao Xiaoxi from saying anything else.
"Is there anything else?"
If the previous words were euphemistic, then this sentence is very direct, a very direct way of saying goodbye.
"Hehe..." Suddenly, Li Yuanyi chuckled softly, revealing an expression that was clearly visible to everyone for the first time.
"Hmph, what are you pretending for? Now that you know who we are, is there any need for you to put on airs?"
"I'm telling you, I'm here today to ask you what you want. I can grant your wish." And then, from that moment on, you will have nothing to do with my family anymore.
Although Song Lili didn't hear what Zhao Xiaoxi said afterward, she could guess what she meant from her expression.
