Song Lili chatted with the old men for the entire afternoon, and Qian Liulin and Li Yuanyi returned just as they were waiting for dinner.
It's unclear whether Li Zhiyuan instructed them or if the others were too busy, but today only Li Zhiyuan, his grandson, and the nanny were at the Li family home.
This is perfect, since they're all familiar faces. Song Lili won't feel awkward, and she'll be more natural around them.
During the meal, Li Zhiyuan suddenly felt a bit sentimental.
"Lili, I heard from my rascal that you helped him a while ago? Thank you so much, old man!"
This girl helped this old man a few years ago, and now she's helping her grandson, but she's never asked for anything in return.
Even her own business, which those old guys didn't have time to help with, she made a name for herself. It left them with no opportunity to use their talents.
This made Li Zhiyuan sigh, "This girl is no simple character!"
If it were anyone else, they would have taken advantage of the favor to ask for something in return, but she never said a word, which made the old folks treat her even more like their own granddaughter.
I feel naturally close to you, and I keep you in my thoughts.
"Grandpa, it's all a small matter. I just happened to notice it. It's nothing to do with helping," Song Lili said with a faint smile.
She promised to do it. She'll naturally do it well.
“You old man, Lili is one of us. Do we need guests? Lili doesn’t care about him, let’s eat,” Wu Zhongge said irritably.
He just couldn't stand Li Zhiyuan's attitude.
"Haha, that's right, old man, you're so annoying." Qian Xianming also chimed in to add insult to injury.
Li Zhiyuan was so angry that his face turned pale.
Qian Liulin and Li Yuanyi dared not speak; the old men were like this every day, arguing constantly.
Anyone who tries to persuade them will become their enemy and the target of their attacks.
After it happened many times, they ignored it and pretended not to hear it.
So at this point, the two of them just kept their heads down and ate, since they were used to it anyway.
Song Lili was truly helpless. Everyone says that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, but having too many treasures can also be a headache!
"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly, the food's getting cold. Let's not talk about this now, we'll talk about it after we finish eating, okay?"
"snort……"
"Okay, I'll listen to Lili."
The two of them snorted coldly and ignored each other, just like children having a tiff.
Song Lili found it both funny and heartwarming, and suddenly thought of Zhao Qianlai.
If only she were still here.
However, life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by fate; this was just Song Lili's thought.
After finishing her meal, it was getting late, and Song Lili wondered if she should say goodbye.
She was worried about her family, mainly because Fang Yaoqing was still around, and she didn't know if he might do something else.
In Song Lili's eyes, Fang Yaoqing was a troublemaker who could cause all sorts of trouble.
However, the old men saw through her thoughts and held her back, refusing to let her leave. They also chatted about other things, not giving Song Lili a chance to speak.
After a while, Song Lili understood. She felt very helpless.
These old gentlemen really went all out, coming up with this kind of solution. Well...
There was nothing she could do, so Song Lili stayed up and talked with them for a long time until nine o'clock, when they were finally ready to go to sleep. Only then did she feel at ease.
"You two are responsible for getting Lili home safely, or I won't let you off the hook, do you hear me?" Li Zhiyuan said righteously.
Li Yuanyi said helplessly, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get the person back safely."
This old man is putting on such a serious act now. Who was it that was pulling people away and preventing them from leaving? Now he realizes it's getting late?
Qian Liulin was helpless and had no choice but to obediently nod. He couldn't afford to offend the old men.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure Lili gets back safely."
Hearing the two men's assurances, the old men were finally relieved and were helped home to rest.
"Let's go, we'll take you there," Qian Liulin said to Song Lili.
"Are you busy? If you are, there's no need to take me. I can go back by myself."
Qian Liulin seems to have been promoted recently, and this is probably the busiest time of his life.
Li Yuanyi must be busy, so Song Lili thought there was no need to trouble herself; she could go back by herself, it wasn't like she couldn't find her way.
“No, that won’t do. If the old men find out, we’ll be in big trouble. You should take it. It won’t take long,” Li Yuanyi said.
Even if I'm really busy, I can still squeeze out this little bit of time.
Besides, he brought the person in, so he has to send him back properly, otherwise he'll feel bad about it.
Song Lili didn't say anything more. Since they said that, it proved they weren't busy. She wasn't being pretentious; it was naturally good to have someone deliver the package.
Qian Liulin drove, with Song Lili and Li Yuanyi sitting in the back.
"Lili, I heard your uncle is here? Please give him my regards and tell him I'll visit him at home another day."
Qian Liulin only found out about Song Yongren's arrival in the capital at the dinner table.
"Okay, I'll tell him he'll be happy to see you."
"I haven't seen my uncle for several years. How is his health? How is his family? Is everything alright?"
Since returning, he has been so busy that he has no time to think about anything else. If Song Yongren hadn't come to the capital, he wouldn't have had the time to go and see him.
But since we're already here, we'll make time to visit, even if it's crowded.
The older man was very good to him back then.
"Everything is fine. He was just worried about me, so he came to check on me and Fangfang."
"That's good," Qian Liulin nodded. Knowing that everything was alright, he was also in a good mood.
Li Yuanyi didn't speak, but listened quietly to Song Lili and Qian Liulin talking.
It was quite obvious. The difference between Song Lili's attitude towards him and her attitude towards Qian Liulin was readily apparent.
There was a natural affinity between them and Qian Liulin, and they spoke very naturally to each other.
I was very friendly with him, but there was a distance between us; it was just polite friendliness.
He felt a pang of envy for the way the two of them were getting along; it had been a very long time since he had spoken to anyone like that.
But I also understand that it's natural for them to be close, after all, we've known each other for over ten years, it's perfectly normal.
The two men escorted Song Lili into the alley and watched her enter her home before leaving.
Because it was quite late, Song Lili didn't let the two of them in, but simply said goodbye.
It's too late, let's forget about it.
If we have time, let's send two more people another day. It's not convenient since everyone at home is asleep now.
What Song Lili didn't expect was that no one at home was resting. They were all waiting for her to come home.
So when Song Lili entered and saw several people sitting in the yard, she was taken aback. "Why aren't you asleep yet? What are you all doing sitting in the yard?"
"I'm waiting for you. I'll sleep after you come back." Zhang Qinghua glanced at Song Yongren before speaking.
Song Lili smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart. It felt so good to have someone waiting for her.
