Ye Qingqing frowned slightly. After practicing the technique, she felt much more sensitive than before. Li Shanxing didn't like her and even seemed to have malice. It was strange. She and Li Shanxing hadn't even spoken a word when they first met. How could Li Shanxing have malice towards her?
"Hello, I am Ye Qingqing. My school is not far from yours."
Ye Qingqing took the initiative to extend her hand to greet them. The medical university and the normal university were indeed not far apart, only about a ten-minute walk apart.
"Hello, my name is... Li Shanxing."
Li Shanxing smiled shyly, quickly clenched her fist and then withdrew it, her head slightly lowered. Sang Wanhua frowned; she didn't like timid girls, and Li Shanxing's behavior really displeased her.
However, Sang Wanhua still admired Li Shanxing's courage in fighting for her rights. She thought that perhaps she was a girl from a mountain village and it was her first time visiting the Sang family, so it was understandable that she was a little timid.
Ye Qingqing carefully examined Li Shanxing. It was already April, and the weather was getting warmer. All she needed to wear was a coat. Today, she was only wearing a mid-length trench coat, a thin T-shirt underneath, jeans, and sneakers.
Li Shanxing was still wearing a padded jacket. The material of the jacket was quite good, but the style was very old-fashioned. Her shoes, however, were appropriate for the season. They were a pair of black mid-heel leather shoes that looked quite familiar.
Ye Qingqing quickly remembered that these leather shoes were a gift she brought back to Aunt Xu from Hong Kong. She guessed that Aunt Xu couldn't bear to wear them herself and gave them to her daughter.
Aunt Xu prepared a very sumptuous meal. The old lady invited Xiao Li to sit down and eat together. Mrs. Allen and Roger had already returned to the country. They were both very busy and couldn't spare the time. Moreover, Sang Wanhua's condition had improved, so they felt very reassured entrusting her to the old lady.
"I'm so lucky, I arrived just in time for lunch," Bruno's voice rang out from the doorway.
This guy especially loves oil-splashed noodles, but it's hard to find authentic oil-splashed noodles in Pingjiang, so he often comes back to freeload meals and asks Aunt Xu to make them for him.
Li Shanxing's eyes lit up. There really were foreigners here with her mother. Her mother wasn't lying. They didn't look very old!
"Sit down and eat with us. This is Li Xiuxiu, a friend of ours," Ye Qingqing introduced Li.
Xiao Li could only say the most basic "Hello" and "Good morning," and couldn't understand anything. Fortunately, Ye Qingqing translated for her. She quickly stood up, smiled, and extended her hand. Even if she couldn't speak English, she couldn't neglect etiquette.
"Hello, beautiful lady."
Bruno's eyes lit up; he had finally spotted a mature beauty. He shook hands warmly, eager to chat with Xiao Li, but unfortunately, one couldn't speak English and the other couldn't speak Chinese, so they couldn't have a proper conversation.
Ye Qingqing then introduced Li Shanxing, but Bruno only greeted her politely without even looking at her. Ye Qingqing found it strange, as Li Shanxing was more beautiful and had a better figure. Was Bruno blind?
"Xing'er".
Aunt Xu called out softly, her eyes filled with displeasure. Li Shanxing's heart sank, and she reluctantly got up.
"Eat together. We don't have those rules in our family. Shanxing, sit down and eat. Don't listen to your mother." The old lady knew what Aunt Xu was up to at a glance. Aunt Xu always hid in the kitchen to eat by herself, and she wouldn't listen even after being called several times.
The old lady didn't care whether Aunt Xu came out to eat or not. Li Shanxing was a little girl with a strong sense of self-respect. Everyone was eating outside, so it would be strange to call her to eat in the kitchen. The little girl would definitely feel uncomfortable!
