Because it was already clearly shown on Zhao Xiaoxi's face; there was no need for excessive speculation to see it.
“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Song Lili’s face slowly turned cold.
Is Zhao Xiaoxi really that clueless, or is she pretending not to? Can't she see that she has been making concessions time and time again?
Such a rude person repeatedly made her uncomfortable. If it were anyone else, she would have already snapped back.
However, she is Grandma Zhao's granddaughter, and she is only doing this out of respect for Grandma Zhao.
However, she kept saying hurtful things, and Song Lili didn't intend to keep putting herself in this position.
Since Zhao Xiaoxi wants to have fun, why can't she?
"Heh... I'm telling you, you'd better state your conditions now, or you won't have this opportunity again."
She actually wants more? Hmph, don't even think about it. As long as Zhao Xiaoxi is around, Song Lili has no chance.
"I don't need this opportunity, and I don't care about yours, so you can leave."
This time, Song Lili spoke her mind directly, saying that her tolerance of Zhao Xiaoxi was coming to an end.
Grandma Zhao is Grandma Zhao, but that's absolutely not a reason for her to tolerate Zhao Xiaoxi.
"You... don't know what's good for you." Zhao Xiaoxi's face turned red with anger as she pointed at Song Lili, never expecting Song Lili to be so rude.
"Mr. Li, what about you? Are you here also to ask me to make demands?" Song Lili asked Li Yuanyi in a very unpleasant tone, her face also looking very unpleasant.
Li Yuanyi shook his head. "Of course not. I am here today on behalf of my whole family to thank you. Thank you sincerely for taking care of my grandfather."
This was what Li Yuanyi thought before he met Song Lili.
Regardless of Song Lili's motives, she has taken care of Li Zhiyuan for ten years, which is an indisputable fact.
Therefore, he thought that even if Song Lili made exorbitant demands, he would satisfy her as long as it did not violate his principles.
However, after meeting Song Lili, and especially after seeing Zhao Xiaoxi's attitude, Li Yuanyi suddenly changed his mind.
He thought he might want a friend like that.
So, I won't say those things I had planned to say before.
"No need to thank me, I already said. I just feel a connection with them."
Song Lili reiterated that this had nothing to do with them, the younger generation.
“I know. My grandfather said the same thing.” This time, Li Yuanyi truly understood why his grandfather always had a smile on his face whenever he mentioned Song Lili.
He didn't even show that kind of expression towards his own children.
This time, he seemed to know the reason.
"Hmm," Song Lili lowered her head and took a sip of water.
She didn't want to know what Grandpa Li had said to her. Because she had already figured it out ten years ago.
“Yes, that’s what my old man said too,” Qian Liulin echoed.
Firstly, it was to ease the tension. Secondly, he wanted to join in and didn't want Song Lili to be targeted.
"Only Lili and the elderly people themselves know the true nature of their relationship," Wu Ying added.
As a witness, Wu Ying is qualified to say such things.
She had witnessed how Song Lili treated the elderly people, so there was a reason why the elderly people remembered her.
In those days, anyone willing to help a few elderly people was taking a huge risk.
How could such affection be compared to something so trivial?
"Tch, I think she knows Grandma's identity and has ulterior motives," Zhao Xiaoxi jumped in again.
But she forgot that at that time, the status of Zhao Qian and the other elders was not one that others needed to curry favor with, but rather one that everyone respected and kept at a distance.
To be able to lend a helping hand at that time is a true testament to friendship in times of trouble.
So how can you say that there was an ulterior motive?
Zhao Xiaoxi either didn't expect it, or she did expect it but simply didn't want to believe it.
The others knew perfectly well that Song Lili had no ulterior motives.
Qian Liulin, who knew even more clearly, thought to himself that perhaps Lili had no idea what the elderly people's identities were.
“Zhao Xiaoxi, I think you can leave now.” Suddenly, Li Yuanyi turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiaoxi.
Then, Song Lili saw that all the expressions on Zhao Xiaoxi's face froze, and then cracked little by little.
Finally, looking embarrassed, she picked up her bag and said, "I have something to do. I'll be going now."
As he passed Song Lili, he glared at her fiercely before storming off.
Song Lili lowered her head, lost in thought.
It seems that Li Yuanyi is a very influential person.
His words actually made Zhao Xiaoxi obediently listen without any objection.
Song Lili suddenly felt a little curious.
Just then, the waiter came over to serve the dishes, which also broke the atmosphere in the private room.
"Alright, let's eat." After the waiter left, Li Yuanyi said calmly.
Qian Liulin happily said to Song Lili, "Lili, hurry up and try it. This is your favorite food."
As he spoke, Qian Liulin picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it in Song Lili's bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Qian." Song Lili squinted her eyes and said this before picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat.
"I heard you like to eat meat, and it seems it's true." Wu Ying also picked up her chopsticks and started eating. However, she still teased Song Lili a little.
Song Lili smiled slightly, "I really like it, I think the meat is delicious." Song Lili nodded, speaking the truth.
Unseen by them, Li Yuanyi's expression shifted again, then he remained silent, looking at the three people opposite him.
It's obvious that Song Lili and Qian Liulin have the best relationship; their familiarity is plain for anyone to see.
Wu Ying also liked Song Lili very much, and although their relationship wasn't as good as Qian Liulin's, they still got along well.
This made Li Yuanyi even more curious about Song Lili.
Qian Liulin and Wu Ying have known each other since childhood and know each other's temperaments.
These two people don't get along with just anyone.
Qian Liulin, in particular, although he always had a smiling face, kept his distance from everyone and was never very close to anyone.
Song Lili was one of the four exceptions; aside from her childhood friends with long hair, she was someone Qian Liulin genuinely cared for.
A person who can earn Qian Liulin's genuine trust is truly not to be underestimated.
Therefore, Li Yuanyi had other ideas about this person.
Song Lili was also thinking that it seemed that people were different, which is why they behaved differently.
She did something, but different people gave different answers, simply because people are different.
Song Lili understood this in her heart, so she just sighed and then put it out of her mind.
In her view, she would have no further interaction with Zhao Xiaoxi and there was no need to care about her problems.
