Chapter 159 Huo Qian and I are legitimate friends
After Li Menghan revealed the whole truth about Dai Yuqian.
The entire spacious and bright restaurant suddenly became very quiet, without a sound.
Li Mengli stood beside the dining table, her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly agape.
She never expected that Dai Yuqian, who usually seemed so gentle, would do so many outrageous things.
In Li Mengli's mind, she always firmly believed that Dai Yuqian would be a very good girl.
After all, their family used to be very poor.
Back then, Li Menghan braved the biting cold wind every day, riding a dilapidated electric bike to deliver food to others.
His hands were covered in red, swollen chilblains, and his face was cracked from the cold wind.
At that time, Li Menghan didn't have much money at all, and couldn't even afford a decent down jacket.
However, Dai Yuqian stayed with him the whole time, neither looking down on him for being poor nor leaving him.
Therefore, Li Mengli felt that her younger brother was very lucky to have a girlfriend like Dai Yuqian.
But now, after hearing Li Menghan tell all the facts herself.
Li Mengli felt a buzzing in her head.
She suddenly realized that she had misunderstood everything.
That's completely wrong.
It turns out that Dai Yuqian is a woman who would do anything for money.
Looking at her younger brother, whose face was full of anger and grievance, Li Mengli felt extremely sad.
She nodded vigorously, looked at Li Menghan, and said in a trembling voice:
"Brother, I understand."
"It's my fault. It's my fault."
"It was my fault for rushing over and yelling at you without even asking what happened."
"I thought you turned bad after you got the money my dad gave you. I really didn't expect that Dai Yuqian would be this kind of person."
As she spoke, Li Mengli's eyes reddened.
Feeling extremely guilty, she pulled out the chair next to her and slowly sat down.
Her heart was filled with heartache for her younger brother, and also with regret for her impulsive actions.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian, who were standing to the side, also felt very awkward.
The two women glanced at each other, both with very unnatural expressions on their faces.
Then, they pulled out chairs and sat down somewhat awkwardly at the dining table.
Actually, Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian really stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip at Li Menghan's house today.
A shocking scandal involving infidelity, betrayal, and breakups.
However, if they had a choice, the two of them would rather not have come here at noon today, and would rather not have heard this juicy gossip.
After all, wouldn't it be really awkward for the two of them to do this?
This is a family matter, and a private matter that's so embarrassing.
As outsiders, they stood there listening to the siblings arguing, listening to this kind of thing.
Zhao Jiajia even thought to herself, "If I had known this would happen, I would have eaten lunch at the school cafeteria today."
Seeing that everyone had sat down, Li Menghan's mood calmed down a little.
He had just said everything that had been on his mind, and now he felt much better.
He looked up and saw Huo Qian sitting opposite him.
A somewhat surprised smile appeared on Li Menghan's face.
He looked at Huo Qian and said in a relaxed tone:
"Huo Qian, I really didn't expect you to come to my house for lunch today."
When Huo Qian heard Li Menghan speaking to her, she smiled.
She looked at Li Menghan and answered very generously:
"Yes, I never expected so many things to happen."
"I ran into your sister at the gate of your school this morning, and that's how we met."
"We were discussing this on the way because of your recent behavior, such as spending a lot of money to buy a Ferrari sports car and not going to school."
Update released! Book lovers, go read Cola Novels!
"We were planning to come over at noon today and give you a good lesson."
Huo Qian paused, her smile fading, and continued in a tone of sympathy:
"But now that I see you've been through something like this..."
"I suddenly realized that I've come at a bad time today. I'm really sorry."
When Li Menghan heard Huo Qian say that, she quickly waved her hand.
He looked at Huo Qian and, very sincerely, comforted her, saying:
"That's not true, please don't think that way."
"I'm very happy that you could come to my home. Besides, all those things are in the past. I've completely broken up with her, and I don't care about it at all."
Sitting next to her, Zhao Jiajia overheard Li Menghan and Huo Qian chatting so naturally.
Sitting next to her, Zhao Jiajia overheard Li Menghan and Huo Qian chatting so naturally.
She was very surprised.
She turned her head, looked at Li Menghan, and then at Huo Qian.
Zhao Jiajia was the first to speak, asking:
"Huh? You two actually know each other?"
At this point, Li Mengli had also begun to emerge from her feelings of self-blame.
Upon hearing her roommate Zhao Jiajia's question, she proactively offered to explain on Huo Qian's behalf:
"Jiajia, you don't know. The two of them ate together in the school cafeteria before, so they already know each other."
Upon hearing this explanation, Zhao Jiajia immediately burst into laughter.
She is a very talkative girl who is also good at creating a lively atmosphere.
She looked at Li Menghan, made a joke, and said loudly:
"Oh, I see."
"Li Menghan, your brother is really lucky with women."
"Not only do you have a billion yuan in pocket money, but you can also buy so many Ferrari sports cars. Now you can even meet such a beautiful woman like Huo Qian in the cafeteria."
"If I were you, even after all those unpleasant things that just happened, seeing Huo Qian sitting across from me would make me smile with joy immediately."
Li Menghan heard Zhao Jiajia make such a joke.
His face flushed slightly, and he felt very embarrassed.
He looked at his older sister, Li Mengli, and quickly explained:
"Sis, how can your friend talk like that?"
"Huo Qian and I are just normal friends. We only had one meal together in the cafeteria, don't let her talk nonsense."
Li Mengli couldn't help but smile when she saw her younger brother looking a little anxious.
She nodded and said:
"I know, I know. I understand your personality, you don't need to rush to explain."
"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. Everyone must be hungry."
Li Mengli picked up her chopsticks and pointed to the very sumptuous and high-class dishes on the table.
These dishes were all prepared by chefs hired by Li Zehua at high salaries, including a huge Boston lobster, top-quality Wagyu beef, and a very fragrant Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Li Mengli called out loudly to everyone:
"My dad hired a chef today who made lots of delicious dishes. Everyone, let's eat while they're hot! Let's eat first!"
Hearing Li Mengli say this, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.
The food on the table was delicious, and everyone chatted as they ate, gradually creating a relaxed atmosphere.
It happened during the meal.
While picking up food from her plate with her chopsticks, Huo Qian secretly looked up at Li Menghan sitting opposite her.
She noticed that just as she looked at Li Menghan, Li Menghan also looked up and secretly watched her.
Their eyes met for the first time above the dining table.
Both of them suddenly felt a little nervous.
Their eyes met for only a very brief second.
Then, both of them quickly looked away.
Huo Qian lowered her head and continued to look at the rice in her bowl, pretending to eat seriously.
Li Menghan quickly turned her head to the side, pretending to pick up a piece of beef next to her.
Although both of them quickly looked away without saying a word.
But it was only on the corners of their mouths.
At the same time, they both raised a faint smile.
