When Xue Shanshan was about to get off work, she received a call and saw that it was Yuan Lishu.
"Hey, Miss Yuan."
"Shanshan, do you have time after get off work? I want to ask you to sit together."
Xue Shanshan thought for a while and said, "If you have time, of course you have time." She had heard from Zheng Qi that Yuan Lishu's mother had passed away. Although she didn't know how to comfort Yuan Lishu, the other party asked her to make an appointment, and it was difficult for her to refuse.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Shanshan hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Zhao Shucheng, asking him not to answer her.
Xue Shanshan and Yuan Lishu met at Li Bookstore. When they saw Yuan Lishu who was a little haggard, they didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
Yuan Lishu saw Xue Shanshan's carefulness and said, "Shanshan, I'm fine. I'm just alone at home. I want to find a friend to accompany me, but Feng Yue also has to take care of the baby. I have no other friends in the Magic City, so I can only think of you."
Xue Shanshan said: "It's okay, I'm very happy that you treat me as a friend."
"By the way, Shanshan, do you have anything interesting during the Chinese New Year?"
"It's nothing, it's not the same during the New Year. By the way, let's go shopping."
Yuan Lishu nodded and agreed to Xue Shanshan.
The two of them actually don’t have much common language. Their living environments are different and their quality of life is also different. However, when they walk in the mall like this, Yuan Lishu’s mood has indeed improved a lot.
In the evening, Xue Shanshan said to Zhao Shucheng: "Shucheng, do you know? Miss Yuan's mother has passed away."
"I know!"
Xue Shanshan thought he knew it first, but Zhao Shucheng actually knew it. She couldn't help but look at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "How did you know?"
"Today Yuan Lishu talked to me about things. I found out that she was wearing a black armband."
"What are you talking about?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't think randomly, it's just some work matters. Do you think Yuan Lishu will like me?"
"That's right, what she likes is our big boss."
"How do you know this?"
Xue Shanshan smiled proudly and said, "Of course I can see this. In fact, I saw it when I was traveling to the company, but it seems that the president and her have not yet made it clear, and they don't know what the president is thinking."
"Okay, other people's affairs have nothing to do with us. We can't interfere when we are in love, otherwise we will definitely be blamed."
"I know, I didn't want to interfere, but I just felt that Miss Yuan was very pitiful. Now that my parents are gone, I must be lonely alone."
"How could this happen? Feng Teng and the others will accompany Yuan Lishu. Don't worry too much. By the way, what should I eat tonight?"
"Anything is OK, as long as it is made by you, I like to eat it."
Xue Shanshan quickly threw this matter behind her mind and started to come to the kitchen to tell Zhao Shucheng what to eat tonight.
Zheng Qi thought about it for a while, but still didn't tell Zhao Shucheng about the plans of Feng Teng and Yuan Lishu that he heard. However, he felt that Yuan Lishu should not do this, so he found Yuan Lishu, hoping to persuade her to give up.
Yuan Lishu saw Zheng Qi coming to find her and agreed to come outside with Zheng Qi.
"Lishu, I know you may be sad now, but I still hope you can promise me something."
"What's up?"
"Don't run away anymore, don't run away like in school days. Once Feng Teng has a girlfriend, you will run away and exile yourself. We are all grown up now, not children, but should have our own life."
Zheng Qi looked at Yuan Lishu and said, "How to say it, life is like one wall after another. Even if you can hide from this wall, what about the next wall? What about the next wall? Do you want to hide from it? So, I hope you don't run away for love anymore. OK?"
Yuan Lishu said: "You know how to read minds? You can expose my tricks so quickly? The demon city is so big that I can hide. I promise you that I will not run away again."
Zheng Qi nodded and said, "I believe in you, but Lishu, you..."
Yuan Lishu looked at Zheng Qi and said, "What else can you say to me? As long as you don't like me, you can tell me anything."
"Lishu, actually that day I heard the conversation between you and Feng Teng. He asked you to pursue Zhao Shucheng. In fact, what you can refuse is that you are an independent person, not a vassal of anyone, nor a tool for anyone."
Yuan Lishu's face changed and he looked at Zheng Qi faintly and said, "Have you told other people about this?"
"No, I just don't know who to tell, so I asked you to talk to you first. I don't think you should listen to Feng Teng. He likes Xue Shanshan. He can pursue it himself, but he can't let you use your feelings as a tool."
"Zheng Qi, thank you really, but can you stop telling others about this matter first, I have my own considerations."
"But Zhao Shucheng and Xue Shanshan are already together, and their relationship is really good. If you rashly intervene in, you may not be able to get happiness, but will make you bruised."
Yuan Li smiled and said, "Zheng Qi, you are really a good person, but who told you that I just use Zhao Shucheng and have no real feelings?"
"But you said before that you like Fengteng."
"Yes, I did like Fengteng before, but people will change. After my mother left, I thought a lot and knew what I really wanted."
Zheng Qi looked at Yuan Lishu in disbelief, but found that Yuan Lishu's expression was so strange that she couldn't tell whether she was serious.
"I hope you really think clearly what you want. I don't want to see you hurt in the future, nor do I want to see Zhao Shucheng unhappy, because you are all my friends."
"Where is Feng Teng?"
"Feng Teng is also my good friend and my good brother, so I can't watch him get deeper and deeper. He actually doesn't really like Xue Shanshan, he's just a little obsessed with it."
Yuan Lishu smiled after hearing this and said, "Zheng Qi, it seems that you really don't understand Feng Teng, and you don't understand at all."
"Lishu, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, you'll understand it later."
Yuan Lishu had no intention of explanation at all, because she knew very well what she was saying now, and Zheng Qi could not believe it. It would be better to let the facts speak.
A few days later, Yuan Lishu's Li Bookstore received investment and began new developments.
Yuan Lishu called Zhao Shucheng and said, "Zhao Shucheng, Li's bookstore has received investment."
"Is that true? Congratulations. I hope your Li Bookstore can develop better in the future."
"Thank you, I should actually thank you more. If it weren't for your help, Li Bookstore might not have obtained investment so quickly and would not have embarked on the road of expansion. So I want to treat you to a meal. Do you see if you are convenient?"
"Of course there is no problem, it may cost us Miss Yuan. Then that's all, you can send me the time and place, and I will definitely go."
Zhao Shucheng did not choose to refuse because he knew that even if he refused, Yuan Lishu would insist. And he also wanted to see if Yuan Lishu invited him to have a meal, was it really for the sake of eating, or had other purposes.
Of course, before Zhao Shucheng went to the appointment, he also told Xue Shanshan that he had a social engagement in the evening and asked her to go home first, so that he would go back later.
When the lights first came on, Zhao Shucheng came to the restaurant that Yuanli Shuding had decided.
Yuan Lishu looks carefully dressed up, and wearing a red dress, it further highlights her cultural temperament.
"Miss Yuan!"
Yuan Lishu stood up to greet Zhao Shucheng, and after sitting down, he said, "Mr. Zhao, we don't have to be so distant. Shanshan and I are friends now. You can call me Lishu, and everyone else calls me that."
"Okay, Lishu! By the way, have you ordered the meal?"
"Not yet, but today I'll treat you to dinner. You haven't even arrived, so it's not appropriate for me to order."
"Okay, let's eat a little bit more. After all, for you girls, you must not eat too much at night, right?"
"I'm actually fine. Because I have the habit of fitness, I don't eat much. By the way, does Shanshan usually eat very little at night? I don't think she looks like a person who can diet?"
"She doesn't. She's just a foodie. It's good to not eat midnight snacks at night. And I don't think it's necessary to go on a diet at night. Instead, exercising is the best way to maintain your figure. Moreover, girls shouldn't be too thin. Although they look beautiful, they will cause too much harm to their bodies. Instead, they are just right to be slightly fat."
"Is that true? I don't know that you think so. No wonder you like girls like Ueshan."
"By the way, I won't need to drink anymore. I'll have to drive back later."
Yuan Lishu said, "How can that work? Today is to thank you for helping me invest. It's not OK to not drink. Anyway, there are driver services here."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Yuan Lishu and agreed.
However, as Yuan Lishu drank a little wine, he seemed to be talking to Zhao Shucheng.
"Zhao Shucheng, do you know? Actually, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you were a liar."
"It's understandable. After all, after we met, we talked about investment before we formally met. It's normal for you to misunderstand."
"Yes, I started a business on a whim, but I didn't expect that everything was not that simple. Zhao Shucheng, do you know that I have no home anymore!"
"My mother left, and I was left alone. My house was rented before, but because my mother was there, I thought it was home. But now my mother left, it was just a cold house. How could it count as a home?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Lishu, don't say that. Are Feng Teng and Feng Yue also your family?"
Yuan Li smiled and said, "They have never been my family, never been. Although I have worked hard and worked very hard to turn myself into the Feng family, but I have never been from beginning to end. What should I do? What should I do? I am the only one left, and I will be alone for the rest of my life."
