After looking at the two children for a while, Zhao Qian then looked at Song Lili and asked her to come closer.
Only after Song Lili stood in front of Zhao Qian, and even squatted down, did Zhao Qian finally focus his gaze on her face.
"Lili, Xiaoxi is being immature, please don't take it to heart. I apologize to you on her behalf."
The first thing Zhao Qian said was the number 9, which made Song Lili's tears flow down without warning.
Zhao Qian was still worried about his junior, which is why he considered her first.
Song Lili nodded, tears streaming down her face, but her tone was normal: "No need to apologize, I don't blame her."
Even if something is really strange, I won't say anything now.
"Sigh... I know, that child is spoiled, that's why he has a bad temper and is willful." But how could Zhao Qian not understand?
"I originally thought that you two could get along well and take care of each other in the future, so that I could repay your kindness."
"But I didn't expect Xiaoxi to be so insensible, making you suffer. I...I'm sorry."
"No, Grandma, you didn't do anything wrong to me. I... I will try to get along with her better in the future."
Since Zhao Qian still felt indebted to her, she would do as he wanted.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "No need, no need. Since we don't get along, let's just see each other less in the future."
"Lili, I'm not worried about you. You're capable and can do very well."
However, her family turned down such a good friend, which made Zhao Qian feel regretful and even more guilty.
But now, she is powerless and can do nothing.
After talking with Song Lili for a while, Zhao Qian asked everyone to leave before going to see the younger generation in his family.
Song Lili waited outside the whole time and didn't leave, nor did Li Zhiyuan and Qian Xianming.
Everyone seemed to be able to sense that Zhao Qian was really in trouble this time.
And that's exactly what happened.
Several members of the Zhao family's younger generation went in together, but when they were only about halfway inside, a series of heart-wrenching cries suddenly came from the ward.
Those waiting outside felt a sharp pang in their hearts and involuntarily closed their eyes.
Finally, the time has come.
Song Lili felt a lump in her throat and tears streamed down her face once again.
But this time Song Lili remained calm, letting her tears flow freely without making a sound.
Zhang Qinghua knew that Song Lili was upset, so he came over, put his arm around her shoulder, and offered her silent comfort.
The two children were still young. Xiao Chen roughly understood what was going on, but Xiao Hui didn't understand and looked at everyone curiously.
Soon, even louder crying could be heard in the corridor, and there were many more people crying.
At this moment, Li Zhiyuan and his group left, taking Song Lili with them.
Qian Xianming told Song Lili, "Let's go, let their family handle it here. We can't help here, and we'll only be in the way."
Song Lili thought about it and realized that was indeed the case, so she left.
For the next few days, Song Lili stayed at home and did not visit Zhao Qian again.
She had actually considered it, but later gave up on it.
She didn't know any of Zhao Qian's family members, and even Zhao Xiaoxi, the only one she had met a few times, didn't like her.
She never went back.
However, she still went to Zhao Qian's funeral, along with Zhang Qinghua and Qian Liulin.
It was only then that Song Lili realized that Zhao Qian's family lived here, a place where many national treasures reside.
I never expected that Grandma Zhao would be such a person.
She had only guessed before that these people were all from wealthy and powerful backgrounds, but she never expected that she had underestimated them.
Song Lili was only slightly surprised; she didn't think about anything else.
She never coveted them, so their identities were unimportant to her.
Song Lili, Qian Liulin, and Qian Xianming went in together and saw Zhao Qian's portrait in the hall.
Many people came to pay their respects, but Song Lili simply stayed close to Qian Liulin.
After bowing in front, the two were led aside, with Qian Liulin following behind them.
"Let's leave in a bit," Song Lili said, approaching Zhang Qinghua.
She came here only to see Zhao Qian off on his final journey; now that it's all done, there's no need for her to stay.
She's not one of those people with ulterior motives who need to make more friends.
She was simply there to see someone off.
Zhang Qinghua nodded, but he didn't seem inclined to chat with the others.
After standing there for a while, Song Lili found Qian Liulin talking to others and told him that she wanted to leave.
"Brother Qian, I want to go back now. Grandma Zhao has already seen me off, so I won't stay any longer."
Qian Liulin thought about it and understood, then said, "Alright, I'll see you out."
Qian Liulin cannot leave now. Firstly, he has many acquaintances here who he needs to talk to.
Secondly, the Zhao family and the Qian family have always been close, and if he stays here, he will also have to help out and entertain the visitors.
Song Lili didn't refuse, "Okay then." She was still a little confused about the direction.
Qian Liulin and Song Lili had just come out of the mourning hall when they unfortunately ran into Zhao Xiaoxi.
This made Song Lili very depressed. She felt that she was very unlucky. Otherwise, how could she be so unlucky as to run into Zhao Xiaoxi?
What a small world!
Despite her inner turmoil, Song Lili walked over calmly, showing no intention of paying any attention to Zhao Xiaoxi.
Song Lili didn't mean it that way, but Zhao Xiaoxi was very interested. When she saw Song Lili, her eyes lit up with anger.
She stormed over, pointing her finger at Song Lili's nose, "What are you doing here? Who let you in? This is my home, you have no right to come in."
As he spoke, his face was full of contempt, as if he were looking at those clowns.
In Zhao Xiaoxi's mind, Song Lili was a person with impure motives, who only wanted to curry favor with Zhao Qian because she coveted the family's status and power.
Therefore, she always looked down on Song Lili, regarding her as if she were an ant.
Therefore, when they speak, it's naturally not pleasant to hear, just like how they used to treat those who fawned over them.
However, before Song Lili could react, Qian Liulin and Zhang Qinghua both turned pale.
The two of them stared coldly at Zhao Xiaoxi, Zhang Qinghua's eyes filled with anger and ruthlessness.
However, Qian Liulin spoke first, "Zhao Xiaoxi, how can you keep your word? Don't you know how to speak?"
"No matter what, Lili is a guest today. Is this how your family treats guests?"
"Is this how your family taught you?" Qian Liulin asked angrily.
Qian Liulin originally didn't want to speak in this tone, but Zhao Xiaoxi had really gone too far.
