This wasn't the first time she had targeted Lili. Lili hadn't minded before, but she had gone even further.
Today, Lili came to the Zhao family, but she never expected to be treated like this.
Even if Qian Liulin and Song Lili were complete strangers, Qian Liulin would still speak up for them.
After all, Zhao Xiaoxi was fundamentally wrong; she shouldn't have treated the guest that way.
But would Zhao Xiaoxi even think of these things? She couldn't.
All she could think of was that she was unhappy to see Song Lili in her own home, and she didn't want Song Lili to be here either.
So, the words became even harsher: "What? Who are you trying to curry favor with today?"
"With so many people here today, can you tell who's worth currying favor with?"
"Would you like me to introduce you? After all, someone as country bumpkin as you has never seen any powerful or wealthy people, right?"
Zhao Xiaoxi's sarcasm was so obvious that Song Lili had no choice but to look at her coldly.
She knew Zhao Xiaoxi had misunderstood, but she didn't want to explain.
Some people are filled with too many schemes and plots, and simply cannot understand that there are still simple and pure things in this world.
So she just looked coldly at Zhao Xiaoxi and said, "I don't think I need to. Whether I want to curry favor with others or not is none of your business."
Instead of explaining, Song Lili continued to repeat what Zhao Xiaoxi had said.
"Besides, even if I were to curry favor with someone, that person wouldn't be you, so you'd better not presume to be so affectionate."
After saying that, Song Lili pulled Zhang Qinghua to leave. What bad luck! Why is this person so persistent?
With so many people in the Zhao family, how did they end up encountering this particular person?
Song Lili just wanted to leave, but Zhao Xiaoxi was furious. Looking at Song Lili's back, she shouted angrily, "Stop right there!"
Her voice was so loud that many people in the mourning hall looked over, and Qian Liulin's face darkened even further.
He practically gritted his teeth as he shouted, "Zhao Xiaoxi..."
However, Zhao Xiaoxi continued to do as she pleased, completely ignoring Qian Liulin's words and treating them as mere whispers in the wind.
Song Lili gave a sarcastic laugh and then prepared to leave.
She came here for Zhao Qian; otherwise, who would want to come here?
Zhao Qian is no longer here, so there will be no further contact with this family.
Therefore, Song Lili did not intend to get entangled with Zhao Xiaoxi and left quickly.
Unexpectedly, someone in the mourning hall was paying their respects when they heard his name and rushed over in surprise.
"Lili, little girl"
"Girl"
Song Lili turned her head and saw Huang Zhen and Mu Shaohua standing at the door, looking at her excitedly.
Song Lili was also surprised; she never expected to see them here.
She smiled and greeted, "Hello, both of you grandfathers."
Seeing these two people she thought about from time to time made her feel quite good.
Needless to say, Huang Zhen and Mu Shaohua were also happy and quickly ran to Song Lili's side.
"You silly girl, why didn't you tell us you were coming to the capital? I didn't even know you were here," Mu Shaohua said with a hint of reproach.
“That’s right, I came to see you as soon as I knew you were in the capital,” Huang Zhen chimed in from the side.
Song Lili smiled somewhat embarrassedly; she simply thought it was too much trouble, so she didn't say anything.
If she hadn't needed Qian Liulin's help, she wouldn't have planned to let him know.
So, this is a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Huang Zhen and Mu Shaohua were perceptive people. Seeing Song Lili's unnatural expression, they immediately changed the subject.
"Where are you now? I'll come see you in a few days," Mu Shaohua asked.
“Qinghua and I are both studying at Capital University.” Song Lili walked over to the two of them.
Afraid that the two people would actually look for him and not find him, he added, "I own the Chenhui Hot Pot restaurant near the entrance of the Capital University. You can look for me there too."
Compared to looking at the school, Song Lili felt it would be more convenient to look at the hot pot restaurant.
The two seemed surprised, yet also thought it was quite normal, when they heard that Song Lili had opened a hot pot restaurant.
Lili had shown signs of being extraordinary before, didn't they already know that?
“Okay, I’ll remember. I’ll come find you another day and we can catch up properly,” Huang Zhen said.
After exchanging a brief message with the two men, Song Lili was about to leave.
After all, this isn't the place to talk. If they keep talking here, who knows what Zhao Xiaoxi will say next.
Even so, when Song Lili left, Zhao Xiaoxi still glared at her fiercely.
Song Lili: "..." Damn it, are you out of your mind? Or are you blind?
In the following days, Song Lili was in a low mood. She didn't go to the shop or school, and stayed at home.
She only cheered up when Zhang Qinghua came back and told her that Huang Zhen and Mu Shaohua had gone to the hot pot restaurant to find her.
Zhang Qinghua had arranged to meet with the two of them three days later to have a chat.
After thinking it over, Song Lili called Zhong Hu again, and decided to let the others off this time.
These three people have never been to a hot pot restaurant before, let them try the taste of hot pot.
On the third day, Song Lili got ready early, went to school first to return the materials the professor had given her, and then went to class.
After class finally ended, Song Lili left in a hurry because she had made an appointment with Mu Shaohua and two others, and also because she didn't have any classes in the afternoon.
Perfect timing, I can have a good chat with the three of them and talk about how we've all been living since we parted ways.
When Song Lili arrived at the hot pot restaurant, the three of them were already there, and Zhang Qinghua was with them.
Zhang Qinghua has no classes all day today.
As usual, Song Lili served a nourishing soup base. Her shop now offers nourishing soup bases, so there's no need to make them specially.
Song Lili took good care of everyone and gave them a detailed introduction before everyone sat down to eat together.
There were fewer people today, so Zhang Shengtian sat down with them. They knew each other before and were familiar with one another, so they had things to talk about.
While cooking, Song Lili listened to everyone chatting about this and that, and everyone was in a good mood.
Of course, the main topic was life after the breakup, and everyone shared their stories.
Song Lili then learned that after Huang Zhen returned from Hongqi Village, he was busy getting back on his feet and returning to his old business. He had been running around for the past year or two, barely having time to breathe.
Mu Shaohua, however, did not want to return to his old ways and wanted to do something new, so he went to investigate and see what the market needed.
After a year of research, they are now busy preparing for their own store.
In short, the two of them have spent very little time in the capital in the past year or two, which is why we haven't heard any news about Song Lili and the other person.
