Su Li was wearing a comfortable loose ho shirt, like a lazy cat in the afternoon, absentmindedly fiddling with the flowers in her hands, contemplating the most ingenious angle to arrange them. Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted, but she did not get annoyed.
"I didn’t expect the old woman to be able to find my residence, she’s thoughtful."
If it weren’t for her sprained ankle, the Old Lady Lu would have jumped up and cursed.
At this mont, her eyes roved over the small villa’s surroundings, her expression growing increasingly unpleasant.
"Well, you definitely took us to see that rundown house deliberately..."
Su Li remained noncommittal, her gaze shifting from the indignant Old Lady Lu to Sister Zhu.
Sister Zhu hesitated with concern, "Miss, I... Did I bring trouble to you?"
Lately, Su Li had also realized that her initial impression of Sister Zhu as indifferent and cold was actually a mistake; the real Sister Zhu’s temperant... well, wasn’t bad, in so respects, one could say it’s quite good.
Soft-hearted and kind, eager to help.
Normally, she would often take leftover food from ho outside to feed so poor children, and would often assist those in need.
These harmless actions, as long as they didn’t obstruct important matters or cause trouble for herself, Su Li let them go unchecked.
Like this ti, Sister Zhu helped the Old Lady Lu, who had sprained her ankle, back ho... this made Su Li sowhat displeased.
Nowadays, the world is chaotic, and although Port City is not very stable, it appears relatively calm on the surface. Sister Zhu bringing soone back ho without knowing the person’s bottom line, in a household with only two won, was sowhat unconsidered.
Su Li: "Next ti, don’t bring people ho casually."
Sister Zhu lowered her head clumsily, the cheerfulness she had fostered over the recent period sank back down, like a snail retreating into its shell again.
She murmured an "Okay," hesitated for a mont, but still mustered the courage to ask: "Then about this... Her foot is sprained, she can’t walk too forcefully, why not let notify her family to co and pick her up?"
Su Li ambiguously replied, "You’re quite kind-hearted."
Sister Zhu was startled, anxiously explaining, "I just see that she’s quite elderly..."
"I can’t bear it."
Su Li humd a response, turned back to the room, and made a phone call.
This house has a telephone, and also a phonograph... The previous owner was soone who valued quality of life, which Su Li was quite pleased with.
Soon after, the sound of a rickshaw driver’s call ca from outside the door.
"You help her over, the driver will send her back." Glancing at Sister Zhu, Su Li added, "Have her pay herself; the old woman is not short of money."
Granny Lu’s sharp eyes were glinting with hostility, if looks could kill, Su Li would have t an untily end.
"Fifth Madam, now that the master and madam have lost contact with us, you are the most capable person to make decisions. The young master and miss are the roots of Lv Family, if you truly understand gratitude, you can’t ignore the young master and miss."
Initially, Old Lady Lu tried to threaten, but seeing Su Li smiling unconcernedly, her attitude suddenly softened, "The young master and miss are still so young, following an old woman like is not ideal, eventually, they need a guardian to manage things. Show so pity for the children..."
Although her words were not gentle enough, this was already considered a sign of Old Lady Lu yielding to Su Li.
"What you say makes so sense."
Old Lady Lu was surprised to hear these words from Su Li’s mouth, feeling a mix of joy and doubt.
Su Li: "Then let the driver bring the two children over."
Anyway, Old Lady Lu already knew her address, unless she moved houses, she couldn’t shake off the Lv Family siblings from tagging along.
Because Kuai Yangyang and others wanted to leave such a desirable house, Su Li was reluctant.
Since they wanted to live together, let them co.
Ultimately, there is always a bit more kinship between them than with others.
But Old Lady Lu still felt uneasy, watching Fifth Madam’s sinister smile at the corner of her mouth made her feel even more unsettled.
The once transparent Sister Zhu suddenly timidly interjected: "Why don’t I go pick them up, the two children..."
With impulse-driven words, Sister Zhu dared not et Su Li’s eyes; she clutched the hem of her clothes, her gaze never leaving her toes.
Su Li lazily responded, "If you don’t mind the hassle, then go ahead."
Old habits are hard to change; Su Li didn’t have any intention of rectifying Sister Zhu’s overly kind-hearted nature.
As long as it didn’t cross her boundary, she didn’t bother to intervene.
It’s just the trust she gave to Sister Zhu initially has to be withdrawn.
This kind of temperant can be a liability sotis.
Su Li: "Let be frank; I only have two rooms here, one master bedroom and one servant room. I sleep in the master bedroom; if you want to stay here, figure it out yourselves, whether to sleep on the floor or on the sofa, I won’t care."
Old Lady Lu: "You can’t do that, how can the young master and miss sleep on the floor."
"Then it’s up to you, or you can go stay at a hotel, much more comfortable than here."
With this, Old Lady Lu, despite being unwilling, could only hold her tongue.
The young master had around two hundred dollars left, but now he was like a winged tiger, guarding the remaining money tightly; even she didn’t dare to speak the truth, only claiming there’s no money left.
Thinking about it made Old Lady Lu feel bitter.
If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t be at an age where she had to go to a sordid place like Lihuang Palace to earn a living.
Seeing Old Lady Lu quiet down, with a look suggesting scheming sothing nasty, Su Li didn’t care.
She left them downstairs and went upstairs herself.
Sister Zhu was gone for quite a while, luckily she returned before dinner ti, then hurriedly started rinsing the rice and vegetables.
This ti, she rembered she should inform Miss Su only after cooking the al.
Su Li was lying on a fur-covered rocking chair, eyes closed, listening to a record. Upon hearing, she lightly replied, "Got it."
"Having eaten my food ans repaying in so form... Don’t forget to tell them."
Hearing no response for a while, Su Li raised her eyelids, casually glanced towards the door, Sister Zhu was biting her lips in conflict, and upon eting Su Li’s eyes, she flinched slightly, yet still boldly questioned, "Aren’t they your relatives, Miss? And they’re all elders and children, even if they eat, they wouldn’t eat much, Miss, you aren’t short of money..."
"Not being short of money doesn’t an it isn’t mine. If I don’t want anyone to take advantage, then no one can take advantage of ." Su Li said coldly.
Sister Zhu was startled by Su Li’s emotionless voice, too afraid to say more.
She had always thought the Su Miss, who had taken her in, was an extrely kind woman, who spoke gently to her, so she assud... Su Miss wouldn’t get angry.
