Chapter 135: From now on, that is your home, it has nothing to do with me

A dessert shop in a shopping mall near the school.

Warm yellow light spilled onto the wooden tables and chairs, and the two were in a corner spot by the window.

Shen Li ordered a glass of juice, Shen Zhaozhao sat opposite her, and the waiter placed a small strawberry cake in front of her.

Shen Zhaozhao revealed a sweet smile politely: "Thank you."

The waiter also smiled and responded to her: "You're welcome."

Shen Li's gaze was just habitually cold, her sight falling on her, watching her take out her phone and take a beautiful photo of the strawberry cake.

The atmosphere between the two wasn't repulsive, but it couldn't be called very harmonious either.

After a moment of silence, Shen Zhaozhao finished taking the photo, put down her phone, picked up a small spoon, opened her mouth, and took a small bite of the cake, "Sister, you were too careless, how could you lose something as important as your school ID."

"Fortunately, it was discovered by me."

Saying this, she saw Shen Zhaozhao take Shen Li's school ID out of the LV bag she was carrying and return it to her, "Here you go."

Shen Li indeed couldn't find her school ID and thought she had lost it on the way to class.

She didn't expect it to be lost in Su Shi and picked up by her.

It seems Mom had taken Shen Zhaozhao to Grandmother's house.

Shen Li reached out to take it, silent for a long time, her voice cold and faint, as if separated by a layer of ice, "Anything else?"

Shen Zhaozhao put down the small spoon in her hand, crossed her fingers and placed them under her chin, her lips curled up, looking at her with a smile: "Sister, no matter what, we are a family, and I am your younger sister, why be so cold to me?"

"And you even blacklisted my WeChat, and the phone won't go through."

She seemed to want to see some emotion in Shen Li's eyes, but found there was nothing, still the same boring, dead-as-a-doornail look.

Shen Li said gently: "Is there anything else for us to talk about?"

The parents' partiality and love for her lasted for ten years. In these ten years, Shen Li almost lived in Shen Zhaozhao's shadow.

After her aunt passed away that year, Mom was afraid her uncle couldn't take good care of her, so she picked her up from that mountain village to Haishi.

Even to provide her with a good environment, her parents not only moved her household registration under their own name but also changed her original surname.

Before Shen Zhaozhao was eight, she followed her uncle's surname Huang, and her original name was Huang Xiaoya, not Shen Zhaozhao.

This name was chosen by her aunt when she was alive. Her aunt didn't have a high level of education, just felt this name was smooth to say, and the name wasn't hard to write.

That cold gaze was like a needle, clearly stuck on Shen Zhaozhao, but she just smiled lightly, neither painful nor itchy.

"I know Sister is still holding a grudge against me because of the recommendation spot. But Sister, I didn't want to either, this was Mom's idea."

When saying this sentence, Shen Zhaozhao looked innocent, feeling that her leaving Haishi and giving up repeating a year had nothing to do with herself, and accepted everything she got from her with peace of mind.

It was as if this spot should have been given to her in the first place.

Shen Li: "..."

"But Sister... you really are something. You used to be an excellent student who could score first in the city, how could you come to this kind of place to go to school."

"And... you're studying at a vocational college, if Mom knew about this,"

Shen Li pressed her lips together, looking at the twisted face that seemed to be hidden under that smiling mask.

Some things weren't said, but everyone knew in their hearts.

The reason between her and Shen Zhaozhao was never just because of a recommendation spot.

For ten years, how little had she snatched from her?

Shen Zhaozhao seemed to be living the life she should have had, while she herself was like the person who had all her luck stolen away.

She was just too lazy to care anymore, whether it was her father's partiality or that recommendation spot, she didn't want to care anymore.

Her father and mother wanted a daughter like Shen Zhaozhao, she could withdraw, she could leave, so that the family of three could continue to live on.

Shen Zhaozhao actually understood everything, and understood everything, she just pretended not to know anything.

From childhood to adulthood, she was more like her father and mother's daughter than herself.

"Shen Zhaozhao..."

Shen Zhaozhao stopped the action of eating the cake, her eyes with exquisite makeup looking at her.

Shen Li: "Your mother is already dead, she is not your mother."

"You also don't have the surname Shen, you have the surname Huang, your home... has never been in Haishi."

She didn't care what expression Shen Zhaozhao had now, she felt she was just stating a fact plainly.

Because of her existence, Shen Li knew that there would be parents who didn't like their own children, and the person who should be loved could also not love you.

She was spoiled from childhood, and everything was the best, while these things were what Shen Li wanted but couldn't get.

But she could act spoiled and get it very easily.

Everything Shen Li had on her now, even if all the money in her wallet was counted, was not as good as the bag Shen Zhaozhao was carrying.

Shen Zhaozhao's smile faded a bit.

Walking down the stairs of the shopping mall, Zhang Zixin was biting an ice cream, and Xu Zhouyuan's stinky mouth that had just finished smoking also wanted to bite, but she didn't give it to him, pushing his face away in disgust.

Just as the two were frolicking and brushing past a dessert shop, Zhang Zixin's gaze suddenly stopped.

Inside the glass window, that familiar figure caught her eye.

It wasn't Shen Li, who else could it be.

She stopped her footsteps almost subconsciously and shouted at the person not far away.

"Xie Qin!"

"You don't need to show off anything in front of me, you've already gotten everything you wanted, from now on that is your home, it has nothing to do with me."

When she decided to leave, all the people and things in Haishi were not worth her lingering over.

Shen Zhaozhao had her back to the door, and noticing that the person who walked in from outside seemed to be walking toward this side, her eyes quickly turned red, and her long eyelashes became moist.

"Sister, it's not like that..."

"What's wrong, what's this!" Xu Zhouyuan held the half-eaten ice cream of Zhang Zixin in his hand, and seeing the little girl crying, he immediately felt it was strange.

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Li still looked at her aggrieved expression indifferently.

Now that anyone came, they would only think it was herself who bullied her.

Before she could make any reaction.

Someone sat down beside her. Shen Li turned her head to look. Xie Qin casually crossed his long legs, the air pressure around him was low and heavy, his eyes were unkind toward the person opposite, and he lifted his chin: "Who is she?"

Shen Li didn't speak.

Xie Qin's final dark gaze fell on the strange Shen Li.

Shen Zhaozhao moved her lips, seemingly afraid of Shen Li, wanting to say something, but didn't dare to.

The five people surrounded the corner table. Zhou Mingyu put his arm on Qiao Lang's shoulder and laughed: "Don't be silent, little junior sister. You cry as soon as we come, I don't know, I would think our sister-in-law did something to you."

"If there's anything, just say it."

Xu Zhouyuan immediately echoed and teased: "Yo, look at how aggrieved you are, you weren't laughing quite happily outside just now."

"How come as soon as we come, you're crying?" ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
