Chapter 138: She really didn't want her to go back

How could he...

Be so improper.

And there were so many people around.

Xu Zhouyuan on the side "pfft"ed, if it weren't for other girls, he would have mocked him, but he restrained himself.

"Brother-in-law... forget it, I'm afraid Sister will be angry." Shen Zhaozhao's voice was sweet and soft, but she was somewhat wary of Shen Li, looking like she had often been bullied by her before.

"If she's angry, I'll coax her."

"..."

"Go ahead and say it."

Shen Zhaozhao's eyes carried a bit of envy, "Oh, actually it's nothing."

"It's just that boy, who often followed behind Sister after school and walked together, pestering Sister for almost a year."

"Pestering" sounded a bit ambiguous coming from her mouth.

It could be that Shen Li didn't agree to be with that boy.

It could also be that they were secretly dating at school without letting anyone know.

Most people would think of the latter.

When the dishes started to be served, this topic was considered over.

Actually...

If Shen Zhaozhao hadn't said it, Shen Li would have almost forgotten.

Shen Li and that boy did indeed have rumors at school, during the time of the parent-teacher meeting, the teacher said she was engaging in puppy love.

When she went back, she was slapped by her mother.

Later, when she went back to school on the weekend, her mother talked to that boy.

That boy probably knew what she had encountered and apologized to her privately.

After that, finding her after class turned into doing it secretly.

Actually, it wasn't a year. After that, they didn't have much interaction. The reason she said that was actually a coincidence. In the second semester of her sophomore year, Shen Li met that boy in a convenience store and said a few words, which was bumped into by Shen Zhaozhao.

It was then said by her to be pestering for a year.

Shen Li was too lazy to explain and felt there was nothing to say.

It had been so long.

She had even forgotten what that boy looked like.

When they were almost finished eating.

Shen Li got up to go to the restroom, and Shen Zhaozhao said she would go with her.

Before leaving the private room, she asked the waiter for the location of the restroom.

The waiter pointed them in a direction.

They walked toward the restroom.

Shen Zhaozhao had specially put on makeup before going out. At this moment, she took out lipstick from her bag, preparing to touch up her makeup, her tone light, as if chatting casually.

"Sister, if Mom finds out about you dating, she will definitely be angry."

"Why don't you... break up with him."

"I can consider not telling Mom."

Shen Li was silent and didn't speak.

Shen Zhaozhao was spoiled from childhood, and she had never failed to get what she wanted. How could she not understand the meaning of these words.

The emotions surging in her heart were suppressed all the way, and it wasn't until she walked to the restroom door that she finally couldn't hide them.

Shen Li stopped abruptly, looked up at her, her eyes as cold as ice.

Shen Zhaozhao ignored her emotions, just smiling, probably because she rarely saw these expressions on her face, usually she was dead-as-a-doornail, not saying a word.

She curved her eyes, her tone innocent, "Sister is angry?"

"Actually, when I first saw him, I took a fancy to him, he is indeed quite handsome."

"It's just that I didn't expect Sister to date too, and took a step first."

She held the lipstick, turned around, smiled, and looked at the face that made people jealous in the mirror behind her.

Compared to beauty, Shen Li didn't need makeup, she won just by standing there.

Compared to grades, she was the top one.

Qingbei University had noticed her much earlier, and was the first to extend an olive branch.

However... it was just an illusion, looking cold and hard to approach.

Actually, she was just a soft persimmon, anyone could handle her.

It was because she understood this point that she was so unscrupulous.

Shen Zhaozhao was like a winner, showing off naturally in front of someone who was self-abandoning.

"Anyway, the things in your hands will eventually be mine. Sister, you'd better let him go to me early, so you won't be more hurt when the time comes."

So many years.

She finally said what was in her heart.

However, she didn't want to quarrel with her about breaking up with Xie Qin.

Instead, she said another thing in an icy tone.

"Return that money."

Shen Zhaozhao applied the lipstick, pressed her lips together, wiped away the excess from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips, and then raised a smile, turning to face her, "This money was given to me by brother-in-law, it's almost my pocket money for a month."

"And this was given by the boy I like."

She shook her head, smiling provocatively: "I don't want to return it, what can you do."

Shen Li looked straight into Shen Zhaozhao's smiling eyes, with no temperature in her eyes: "Fine, if you don't return it, tomorrow I will buy a plane ticket back to Haishi with you."

"I will tell everyone how your recommendation spot for Qingbei University came to be."

Shen Zhaozhao was dismissive, "Sister, if you say it, Mom's job won't be kept, I think if you do this, Mom will only hate you more."

"In this way, Sister will have no home at all."

Shen Li: "Do you think I still care!"

Shen Zhaozhao's smile froze: "..."

Shen Li: "From the time they were partial to you again and again, I chose to leave that home, and I never thought about going back."

"You are not qualified to make me afraid of you, and you can't threaten me. Instead, you... if everyone knows how that recommendation spot came to be, do you think Qingbei University will let you drop out and never admit you again!"

"No one knows your grades better than I do!"

Shen Zhaozhao panicked.

This was the first time Shen Li saw her have such eyes.

Her leaving was never because she was afraid of Shen Zhaozhao.

It was disappointment in them, it was giving up.

She used to endure her, just because she had a trace of expectation for that home.

Now she didn't want them anymore, so no matter what Shen Zhaozhao said just now, she didn't care.

Substituting Shen Li's perspective, sometimes Shen Zhaozhao also felt she had gone too far, but what could she do.

She wasn't born as well as her, and didn't have a complete family.

If she didn't fight or snatch, she would lose everything.

She didn't want to go back to that small mountain village anymore.

Shen Li snatched the phone from her hand, "Password."

Shen Zhaozhao glared at her resentfully.

"Password!" She emphasized her tone.

Shen Zhaozhao was afraid of her after all.

She really didn't want her to go back.

Shen Li didn't have her WeChat, so she took out her own phone and transferred the money Xie Qin had just given her to her own phone first.

Entering the amount of 5,000 yuan, the payment password interface popped up.

She gave her the phone.

She wanted to watch her transfer the money with her own eyes.

Shen Zhaozhao was unconvinced that Shen Li was riding on her head, but had no choice, bit her lip, entered the payment password, and transferred it over. The emboldened attitude from just a moment ago was all gone.

Seeing the money arrive, Shen Li left without looking back, not looking at her again.

Going to the restroom was just an excuse.

She also knew that Shen Zhaozhao would follow her.

Taking the opportunity, she would get the money back.

Shen Li walked out of the restroom.

Xie Qin was paying the bill at the counter, the cashier pulled out the receipt and asked him to sign.

Xu Zhouyuan: "Sister Li, how come only you came out, where is your high-achieving cousin?"

Xie Qin took the signature pen, scribbled a few strokes on the receipt, and turned his head to look at her. ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
