Li Gui rolled her eyes in disdain. Zhang Qian had not changed at all from before. He was still as greedy and annoying as ever.
“Fourth daughter! You’re living such a good life here! Why haven’t you told your family about this! Why don’t you even call us? Don’t you know that we’re all very worried about you!” Old Madam Li said reproachfully.
Qiao Mei snorted disdainfully. Seeing that Li Gui had become rich, the Li family wanted to start caring about her. Back when she was bullied by the Zhang family, did anyone from the Li family stand up for her?
The Li and Zhang family members were a little scared when they saw Qiao Mei’s expression. They all knew they had to be wary of Qiao Mei’s tactics and temper. Zhang Cong was almost traumatized by her. The moment he saw Qiao Mei, his arms and wrists started to hurt. Even now, he could not forget what it felt like when Qiao Mei beat him up.
“I forgot,” Li Gui said as she looked at Old Madam Li calmly.
Zhang Qian kept staring at Li Gui. He suddenly realized that the Li Gui in front of him was completely different from how she used to look. She looked even prettier than when he first met her more than 20 years ago. When Li Gui and Qiao Mei sat together, people would believe that Li Gui was Qiao Mei’s elder sister!
He began to regret marrying that widow, Ms Wu, from the neighborhood after his divorce with Li Gui. The other young widow he was dating earlier had been caught by Qiao Mei’s people and sent to jail. The prospective wife whom Zhang Qian had painstakingly pursued was gone just like that. He could not stand being alone and went on to hook up with Ms Wu, who had just lost her husband then.
Ms Wu was just average-looking, but she had an excellent figure! However, looking at Li Gui now, he no longer had any place for Ms Wu in his heart. Ms Wu did not even have a fraction of Li Gui’s looks!
“Why are you here?” Li Gui asked as she looked at the Li family members.
“It’s because I miss you! I’m here to see you!” Old Madam Li said sincerely.
Li Gui turned her gaze to Zhang Qian and asked, “What about you?”
“I I’m here to see the children. I miss them,” Zhang Qian said unconscionably.
The truth was that he had never thought about the four children at all. He could not even remember their names and certainly did not know what they looked like now or how old they were. If not for the fact that life was getting too tough in the small county city, he would not have come to the capital when Zhang Cong made a mention of these children.
After Ms Wu married into the Zhang family, she did not do anything except spend money freely. It did not take long for her to spend all the money they had. After that, she criticized Zhang Qian for being useless and even cheated on him with other men!
However, even though Zhang Qian knew what she was doing outside, there was nothing he could do. He had already been divorced three times. If he got another divorce, his life would be even tougher and no woman would be willing to marry him in the future.
“Fourth Sister, we’ve been on the move for a long time. Do you think we can sit down and have a drink first?” Zhao Hong said embarrassedly.
Only then did Li Gui notice Zhao Hong, who was in the corner. She had a bulging stomach and it looked like she was around six months pregnant. Li Gui already did not know how many children she had bore the Li family. The Li family treated Zhao Hong like a baby-making machine and did not care about her health.
Li Gui became soft-hearted when she saw Zhao Hong. She sighed and said, “You can all take a seat.”
The Li and Zhang family members sat down rapidly. They did not care if Qiao Mei and Li Gui were willing to let them eat the food in front of them. Without another word, the group of people began to eat the delicacies in front of them. In less than 10 minutes, there were only 16 empty plates on the table. The plates looked cleaner than if a dog had licked them. Even all the sauces were all gone.
“Fourth Sister, you have really made it big now. Our shop is so nicely decked out! The food is also very delicious! It’s just that the portion seems to be too small,” the second son, Li Xiong, said.
“What do you know! This is posh food! I’ve seen people eating it on television. The smaller the portion, the more expensive it is! This entire table was filled with good stuff!” Li Juan, the fifth daughter, said.
When Li Gui heard the phrase “our shop”, she frowned. She suddenly felt that it was the right choice to have this shop registered in Qiao Mei’s name. She decided to transfer all her houses to Qiao Mei tomorrow. She could not let the Li family members succeed in their scheme!
“I’m just running a small business. I haven’t made it big. I only make enough to survive,” Li Gui said perfunctorily.
