Chapter 368
"Miss Zhang, please have a seat." Li Zhiwei smiled politely.
She then instructed a maid to serve tea to Miss Zhang.
"I noticed the new neighbors moved in a while ago and have been wanting to visit them, but I was afraid it would be too abrupt," Zhang Zifu said with a smile.
He thought to himself, "The Li family is really wealthy. Even the pillars look much more exquisite than my own. If only I could get along well with Miss Li."
In the future, there will definitely be many benefits for me.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zifu's expression towards Li Zhiwei became even more enthusiastic.
Li Zhiwei was a little confused. She shouldn't have said anything, right?
How did she change?
"Miss Zhang, you're too kind. In principle, we should be the ones visiting you, but we've been quite busy lately, which is why we haven't been able to visit our neighbors." After thinking for a moment, Li Zhiwei chose the most reasonable explanation.
"It's alright, I just came uninvited," Zhang Zifu said, waving her hands repeatedly.
Cui Guo, standing to the side, rolled her eyes inwardly. She knew that Miss Zhang was the young lady from the humble family on the right.
Their rush to come over probably means they have ulterior motives.
Otherwise, why didn't that wealthy family on the left come?
Moreover, daughters from wealthy families know the proper etiquette; if they really want to visit someone's home, they will first send a formal invitation.
This has happened several times already.
Only their young mistress was kind-hearted and still managed to deal with her.
"Miss, you've been so busy these past few days, you wouldn't believe it, Miss Zhang has come several times already," Cui Guo said sarcastically from the side.
"I wonder when Sister Li came to the manor, that's why she's been coming more often." Zhang Zifu seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Cuiguo's words, and instead laughed heartily.
“When you moved in, I saw you and thought that since we are about the same age and neighbors, we would definitely become good friends who can talk about anything,” Zhang Zifu said to herself.
Cui Guo rolled her eyes inwardly.
They must have seen through the wealth and power of the Li family.
"Really? That's quite a coincidence," Li Zhiwei said politely.
“That’s right, I think we’re quite destined for each other.” Zhang Zifu still smiled like a silly big sister.
Cuiguo, standing to the side, rolled her eyes.
“Miss, the master is waiting for you to go over there.” Cuiguo could also tell that her young mistress didn’t want to deal with Miss Zhang in front of her.
She quickly came up with an excuse for the young lady.
"Is there something you need, Sister Li?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Zifu stood up happily, as if she wanted to go with her.
Li Zhiwei frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Miss Zhang is really quite the social butterfly."
However, she has always been a slow-to-warm-up type of person.
She would feel a sense of aversion to the seemingly enthusiastic Ms. Zhang in front of her.
“Miss Zhang, perhaps you should go back first. My young lady has other matters to attend to,” Cui Guo said to Zhang Zifu without any politeness.
"How can that be? I haven't paid my respects to Lord Li and Madam Li yet," Zhang Zifu said somewhat anxiously.
She had heard that the Li family only had one child, Miss Li.
If she behaves well, she might win the favor of Lord Li or Madam Li and be recognized as their goddaughter.
Given the Li family's wealth and Lord Li's current official position, if I could become their goddaughter, they might even be able to provide me with a generous dowry when I get married in the future.
Moreover, this will also become her most powerful backer.
