Chapter 125 There's a reason why something is valuable.
5:30 p.m.
Li Mengli and Zhao Jiajia walked home together.
Zhao Jiajia couldn't get Li Mengli to have lunch with her, so she said to Li Mengli:
"Mengli, if you're not busy tomorrow, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight."
Li Mengli didn't think too much about it and nodded in agreement, looking very happy.
Zhao Jiajia continued:
"I've already made reservations for the restaurant; it's at the Zitian International Hotel."
Upon hearing the words "Zitian International," Li Mengli paused for a moment.
Isn't that the best hotel in Seoul? Eating there must cost a lot of money.
Li Mengli looked at Zhao Jiajia and said:
"Jiajia, you're really spending too much. It's just a meal; you don't need to go to such an expensive place."
Zhao Jiajia grabbed Li Mengli's arm and said:
"You're my best friend, it's only right that I treat you to a nice meal! Don't be shy with me."
While walking, Li Mengli took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her younger brother, Li Menghan.
She typed to her younger brother, "Are you really not coming home for dinner tonight?"
Li Menghan replied to the message quickly.
He said he really wouldn't be coming home for dinner tonight.
Li Mengli replied with "Okay," then put away her phone and sighed.
Zhao Jiajia heard the sigh and asked her what was wrong.
Li Mengli complained:
"My brother went out for dinner because of something he doesn't know, and he's not coming home. You know, his girlfriend is coming over for dinner tonight."
Zhao Jiajia thought for a moment and said:
"If his girlfriend comes to your house, aren't your parents home? They can entertain her."
Li Mengli shook her head and said:
"My dad just messaged me saying he's eating out tonight and won't be home. Then my mom messaged me too, saying she works at a restaurant and won't be coming home for dinner either."
After listening, Zhao Jiajia said:
"Okay. But if they're all not here, won't you be lonely eating alone at home? Would you like me to eat with you?"
Li Mengli thought the suggestion was excellent and immediately said:
"Okay, let's go home together!"
So, Zhao Jiajia and Li Mengli walked together toward Beichen Garden.
……
at the same time.
Li Ze drove his very expensive Rolls-Royce Shining back to the underground parking garage of Beichen Garden with Zhang Ruoran.
He parked the car in the parking space.
Zhang Ruoran unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
She stretched beside the car and said:
"Li Ze, I never expected that such a luxury car is expensive for a reason. It's really comfortable to sit in, and I don't feel tired at all."
Li Ze closed the car door, walked to Zhang Ruoran's side, smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed tone:
"If you like it, you can drive this car from now on. I don't need another car anyway."
Zhang Ruoran immediately shook her head and refused:
"Forget it. This car is so expensive, if I accidentally scratch or bump it, I can't afford the repair costs alone."
Li Ze generously said:
"This is none of your business. I'm your husband. I'll pay for the repairs if the car is damaged."
Even though Li Ze had put it that way, Zhang Ruoran still shook her head and refused.
The two stopped discussing the car, walked together to the elevator, and pressed the up button.
The elevator stopped when it reached the first floor.
The elevator doors opened, and Li Ze and Zhang Ruoran saw their daughter, Li Mengli, standing outside.
Next to Li Mengli was a young woman they didn't recognize.
Li Ze looked at his daughter and greeted her with a smile:
"Daughter, you're back."
Li Mengli was shocked to see her parents in the elevator.
She opened her eyes wide and said:
"Dad, Mom? Didn't you both tell me on your phones that you wouldn't be home for dinner tonight? Why are you both back now?"
Li Ze walked over and said with a smile:
"We changed our minds tonight and decided to come back for dinner."
Zhang Ruoran nodded in agreement beside her.
Despite being shocked, Li Mengli was still very happy to see her parents at home.
At this moment, Zhao Jiajia, who was standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed.
She originally thought Li Mengli's parents were not home, which is why she came to eat.
Now that her parents are here, it's not appropriate for her to stay.
Zhao Jiajia asked Li Mengli in a low voice:
"Um... Mengli, should I go back first? Your parents are back, it's not good for me to disturb your meal here."
Zhang Ruoran heard what Zhao Jiajia said.
She acted very generously, and spoke first:
"No need, don't go back. One more guest just means one more pair of chopsticks. Come on, let's go upstairs and eat together!"
Hearing Zhang Ruoran say this, Zhao Jiajia had no choice but to nod in agreement:
"Okay... thank you, Auntie."
The two of them entered the elevator together.
After getting on the elevator, Li Ze looked at Zhao Jiajia and said in a friendly tone:
"Don't be nervous, Mengli's classmate. Make yourself at home. Eat well tonight."
Zhao Jiajia nodded quickly and said very politely:
"Okay, thank you, Uncle!"
It was at this moment that Dai Yuqian sent Li Mengli a WeChat message, saying that she had arrived at the entrance of the community, but the security guard would not let her in.
The elevator arrived at my floor at that moment.
Li Ze, Zhang Ruoran, and Zhao Jiajia were the first to exit the elevator.
Li Mengli stayed in the elevator, pressed the button for the first floor, and said to them:
"Dai Yuqian couldn't get in at the entrance of the community, so I took the elevator down to pick her up."
Zhang Ruoran was overjoyed to hear that it was her son's girlfriend who had come.
She quickly said to her daughter:
"Okay, go and bring her up quickly, it's quite cold outside!"
Li Mengli agreed, and the elevator doors closed.
Zhang Ruoran warmly invited Zhao Jiajia to come in and change her shoes.
When no one was watching, Li Ze, who was following behind, completely lost his smile and his face became slightly gloomy.
Upon hearing the name Dai Yuqian, he immediately recalled what happened that night.
That night at the stronghold in Han City, he had Song Hao's legs broken.
Dai Yuqian was in the next room at the time, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
His stern warning to Dai Yuqian was still clearly imprinted in his mind.
