Perhaps because he heard the noise outside the door, Wang Fulai was about to say something else, when the door of Tianzi Room opened with a creak.
Su Huanli stared blankly at the two people standing outside the door, stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Li'er, you are finally here!"
"Li'er is here?"
Zhu Yan's figure was immediately heard in the room. She saw that Su Li was exquisitely dressed and radiant. Her temperament and appearance were much better than when she was in Dasu Town, and she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in her heart.
We must take advantage of this time to completely deal with Su Li. If she continues to grow, by the time she reaches Yunjing, her life experience... will be impossible to hide!
With this thought in her heart, Zhu Yan showed an unprecedented gentle smile to Su Li, "Our Li'er is really getting more and more beautiful."
"Second sister!"
Su Zipei helped Su Cui out of the next room, her eyes shining brightly, as if she had always admired Su Li.
"Second sister, my parents were so happy when they heard that you had become a special lecturer at Qinghe Women's School. We all came over to see you immediately. Only Er Niang stayed at home and looked at Baiweilou, unable to get away. .”
Su Zipei said with a smile, holding Su Li's arm, looking extremely intimate.
Wang Fulai watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that Su Li and the Su family had a good relationship. Sure enough, the rumors were exaggerated. After all, they were family members.
Watching Su Zipei's mother-daughter performance, Su Li didn't feel the slightest emotion in her heart, but her face showed happiness and excitement, "Mom and Dad, you are putting too much effort into it. My child will naturally go back to see you when he is free, so why bother?" It’s been a long and tiring journey.”
"Hey, let's not talk about this."
Su Huanli did not let Su Li dwell on this issue for too long. He waved his hand and said: "You have a different status now. You are a big shot in Qinghe City. I can hear your name wherever I go. Let's go to you first. Let’s talk about it in detail.”
When Su Li heard this, his face suddenly became troubled, "My child lives in the school. You also know the rules of Qinghe Girls' School. No outsiders are allowed in. Even if it's me..."
"How do you talk as a kid?"
Mrs. Su Cui's old face pulled, and she stepped forward and pinched Su Li's hand, "How can we be considered outsiders? Your father said so, don't you have any conscience? We will follow you. It's hard for the school's gatekeepers to If it doesn’t work, you still dare to stop it?”
Su Li's face darkened, "The rules of Qinghe Women's School cannot be broken. I am just a lecturer at the school, not the dean. Is it possible, grandma, that you have to make your granddaughter lose her position as a lecturer to feel better?"
"… you?!"
Mrs. Su Cui was immediately speechless, her wrinkled old face turned the color of pig liver. She choked for a long time before pulling on Su Huanli's sleeve and pretending to cry: "Son, look! How long has this girl been in Qinghe City? She has learned to talk back. Wow, this is so outrageous, what evil has our Su family done?"
Su Huanli's face was also very ugly, and he looked at Su Li with a very cold look.
He vowed to his mother that after coming to Qinghe City, with Su Li's care, it would be extremely easy to open a Baiweilou branch, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even have a place to stay.
"Second sister! I asked you why you are so cruel. Do you think you can bear to let us all sleep on the street?!"
"Li'er, what did mother teach you? Why do you not know filial piety at all, do you have to make mother completely sad?"
In the blink of an eye, the intimate meeting of relatives turned into a demand meeting against Su Li. Wang Fulai was stunned as he watched on the side. It seemed... rumors can still be believed sometimes.
Seeing a group of people grabbing Su Li to teach him a lesson, Wang Fulai couldn't bear it and immediately interrupted: "Dear guests! It's not too late to go home and solve the problem some time. Shouldn't you pay the rent? Three rooms are 150 taels a day, which is 1,500 taels for ten days. Thank you for your patronage!"
"What? 1,500 taels?" Zhu Yan suddenly screamed, "It's just robbery. Do you think your inn is the palace of the Jade Emperor?!"
Seeing that Zhu Yan wanted to default on his debt, Wang Fulai smiled coldly and said, "You all live in the most luxurious Tianzi houses. There are only a few of them in the entire Qinghe City. If you dare to default on your debt and leave directly, be careful and I won't take care of you." As a courtesy to Professor Su, please go to the government office and have a seat!"
"My granddaughter is still the owner of the embroidery workshop, and she is no less generous than the county governor in terms of status!"
Mrs. Su Cui stood up with a gloomy look on her face, "I want to see how you, a little innkeeper, sent the family of the owner of the embroidery workshop to prison!"
Wang Fulai was so angry that he gasped and almost choked. This was the first time he had seen such a shameless family in all the years he had opened the store.
"enough!"
Hearing Su Cui say "Master of Xiufangfang", Su Li's eyes darkened slightly, and finally he drank softly.
The entire corridor suddenly fell silent. Su Cui, who was still arguing with Wang Fulai, turned around in shock. This was the first time she had seen Su Li get angry. Even last year when they worked together and almost let Su Li get soaked in a pig cage, she didn't see her. How angry.
Could it be that after staying in Qinghe City for half a year, Su Li really changed
Su Li took a deep breath and took out the remaining bits of silver from her arms. Almost all of Linliju's money was invested in the fight between the Yan family and the Jin Lin family. She really had no money now. Of course, even if she had money, she would Won't take it out.
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry. I only have more than 500 taels here. I haven't received the salary from the embroidery workshop yet. I'll send someone to give you the remaining 1,000 taels after I go to collect it. Do you think it's feasible?"
Facing Su Li's sincere and apologetic gaze, Wang Fulai was stunned and silent, his gaze gradually becoming complicated.
This is obviously not your fault, Professor Su. Why should you bear the responsibility for the sins your family has committed
After a long time, Wang Fulai took the broken silver in Su Li's hand and said helplessly: "Although I don't want it very much, I also support a group of people in the inn. I will accept the money and take care of your family... Alas, Professor Su can It’s really not easy to get out of the mud without getting stained.”
Wang Fulai took the money and left without saying a word. There were many heads sticking out from both sides of the corridor, secretly observing the development of the situation.
Those who can live here must have rich or noble families. Naturally, many people are interested in the gossip of the youngest special lecturer in Qinghe City.
With so many people watching, no matter how thick-skinned Su Huanli and others were, they couldn't help but feel their faces getting hot, and pulled Su Li away from the inn.
"Mom and Dad, please go back. I really can't arrange a place for you unless you are willing to stay in a cheap inn."
Su Li said helplessly, her tone almost pleading.
Mrs. Su Cui snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed Su Li's purse, opened it and saw that there were still a few taels of silver left inside, and then she believed Su Li's words and threw the purse to the ground.
"Useless thing! I thought your identity could bring some benefits to the Su family, but it's all in vain!"
"Grandma, don't be angry. Maybe Su Li has something to hide from us, so let's not leave in a hurry."
"Yes, mother. Let's find a decent inn to stay in first."
"Why not go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow?"
“…”
Su Li picked up her purse and stood up slowly, watching Su Huanli and his group walking further and further away, but she could clearly hear them talking in low voices in her ears. A glint flashed in her eyes, and then she followed him silently.
Wu Yun, who was observing in the dark, couldn't help but smile with success when she saw this scene.
"Human beings are indeed inferior animals with weaknesses. Your Yan family is so tight-knit that you would never have thought that I would find another way..."
That night, Su Li arranged for Su Huanli and others to stay in an ordinary inn. It only cost a few hundred pennies a night. Of course, she paid for the money. With a soft persimmon like Su Li here, no matter how much the Su family has accumulated through Baiweilou, Before, they would not hesitate to exploit Su Li.
Entering the inn, Zhu Yan and Su Cui told everyone they met that they were Su Li's biological mother and grandmother. The atmosphere was so awkward that everyone finally let Su Li leave after they felt bored.
After Su Li returned to Linli Residence, Fang Yuan and others who had heard the news immediately gathered around.
"Those old guys from the Su family actually came after Qinghe City? There's something weird about it, there's definitely something weird about it!"
Qu Qingning said with certainty, "Su Huanli has always been a master who refuses to let go of rabbits. If there were no absolute benefits waiting for him in Qinghe City, how could he leave Baiwei Tower to the second lady and come here with his whole family?" Are you looking for Su Li in Qinghe City?"
Fang Yuan did not speak, but nodded in agreement. He and Qu Qingning had the same view.
Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu both joined Su Li after he came to Qinghe City, so they didn't know much about Su Li's family affairs. Now they suddenly heard that there was a group of elites standing behind Su Li, which really shocked them.
Su Li, shouldn't he be born into a hermit family or a disciple of a foreigner with some unpredictable identity? How could she be the second daughter of an ordinary small-town merchant family
Such a contrast... is too great, right
Ignoring the two's dumbfounded expressions, Su Li pushed the two words that had long dried up on the table in front of Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning.
"Wu Yun?!"
Qu Qingning looked confused, "Is the Su family's matter related to Wu Yun? This is totally irrelevant. Shouldn't Wu Yun be worried about the Jin and Lin families now?"
Fang Yuan's pupils shrank, thinking of something.
"Pay close attention to the whereabouts of Su Huanli and others. If there is any special behavior, notify me immediately." Su Li's eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning. Wu Yun could actually think of using Su Huanli's family to intimidate the Yan family.
It's a pity... If she was really such a hard-working and filial daughter, Wu Yun's plan would have almost no weaknesses, but those... were all illusions she deliberately maintained.
"It seems that I haven't been to Qinghe Girls' School for a long time, and I haven't seen that girl Hongxiu for a few days. I'll go to the Girls' School first, and you can take care of the rest."
Su Li said a word and left lightly.
Everyone was left looking at each other, at a loss. Only Qu Qingning suddenly noticed something and asked blankly, "Just now, Su Li seemed to be calling his father... Su Huanli, right?"
"With Miss Su Li's temperament... it wouldn't be appropriate to call that kind of man a father, right?"
Fang Mu smiled and said, but Fang Yuan's expression dimmed, and he confirmed some kind of guess in his heart.
She was afraid that she didn't take the Su family seriously from the beginning... She was just acting.
Even they were deceived in Dasu Town before, thinking that Su Li could not let go of her family ties and would let Su Huanli and the others bully them. It was quite ridiculous now that they thought about it.
"How could someone like Su Li have feelings..."
Bitterness flashed across the corner of Fang Yuan's mouth, and the distant fantasy in his heart was finally hidden deep in his heart, and he might never touch it again in his life.
