Chapter 552: Hypocritical Flattery
This time, the two restored their relationship as friends because of Song Dalong's sincere reply, but the friendship between them could no longer be as clean and thorough as before.
After saying goodbye at the door of the hotel, Zhou Dong went home immediately. After all, it was already a while after his get off work time. Normally, if he hadn't returned home at this time, Li Li would have called him to urge him. But now that he hadn't received his call, he felt a little worried.
But when he rushed home, he didn't find the little woman he was thinking about. Father Li was the only one at home sitting alone on the balcony reading the newspaper.
"Where did Li Li go? Why didn't I see her?" Zhou Dong asked in confusion.
Contrary to usual, she did not call to ask when she would come home, nor did she worry about where she had gone, and she was not found when she returned home. This was all too unusual.
Father Li paused, probably not expecting that he would suddenly ask him this question: "She went shopping with her mother, didn't she inform you?"
"So that's it, I thought she was gone." Well, now that I know where she went, I finally let go of my worries.
At this time, the mother and daughter who were shopping looked at the rows of specialty stores in front of them. Li Li looked around in a refreshing way. Although she rarely went shopping, it did not mean that she was not interested in these clothes. There is no woman who does not love beauty by nature.
However, compared to her happiness, the woman beside her seemed to be thinking more. The woman carefully glanced at her daughter beside her, and when she saw her face full of joy, she deliberately pretended to be happy. It looked like a store, and he pulled her in.
"The clothes in this store are pretty good-looking. They must be very suitable for me."
As she spoke, she pulled her daughter in. Judging from the decoration of the store, it was obvious at a glance that the clothes inside were of great value.
But because his mother liked it, Li Li certainly wouldn't drag her out to ruin the atmosphere.
The mother and daughter were looking around in the luxuriously decorated clothing store, but when Mother Li saw the clothes, she would always subconsciously pick up the hang tag to check the price, and then hang the clothes back to their original place in despair. , this move fell into Li Li's eyes, making her feel extremely ashamed for a moment.
"Forget it, I won't buy it. These clothes are so expensive, they are almost worth half a month's salary of yours. It's not easy for you to make money. I can't waste your money like this."
She left the store while talking nonchalantly, but as she walked on the street, she kept telling her own sufferings and how the rich people were neat and tidy when choosing clothes. , how to comment on your own preferences.
In this stark contrast, Li Li looked more and more ashamed. However, Li's mother seemed to be unaware of her emotions and kept talking to herself about why her family was so poor.
She almost never showed up in a seemingly luxuriously decorated specialty store. She always belittled Zhou Dong intentionally or unintentionally, revealing her dislike of him in every word. But as if to prevent his daughter from noticing her misunderstanding about him, he immediately stated that this was his personal life.
Such conflicting words made Li Li even more irritated, especially when she saw the girls in the counter buying clothes and paying without hesitation when buying famous brands, but her mother had to hesitate when she liked a piece of clothing. For a long time, you may not be able to afford it.
In this stark contrast, she became very silent.
The two came to a salon center. The purpose of Li's mother coming out this time was to come to the salon to get a haircut. Now that I met a restaurant, of course I had to go in, but the expression on the waiter's face when he saw the two walking in didn't seem to be that welcoming.
After all, for the waiters, their place is a high-end place, but the two people in front of them don't seem to be dressed like they can spend money here. After working all day long, they are exhausted, and they don't want to waste their time on such people.
"Our per capita consumption level here is more than 1,000 yuan. You two, you'd better think clearly before coming in."
The waiter looked at the two people in front of him with disdain and said something he dared to say.
Although Mother Li brought her daughter out this time, the purpose was to let her see how rich people live? But it doesn't mean that she can be insulted casually like this. After all, she is still the wife of the Zhang family. Even if she has no money, she will not allow others to insult her like this.
"Why are you talking? Are you looking down on people? Who are you? I originally wanted to spend money with you, but looking at you like this, I don't want to be here anymore."
"I think you simply can't afford it, so why bother to find a way for yourself?"
Li's mother and the waiter were quarreling red-faced. Although Li Li was very angry at the side, they were quality people and of course they couldn't quarrel with these waiters. Even if they were ready to hug their mother, at this moment, a command The annoying guy showed up.
"What's going on? How do you treat your guests?" Liu Wenlong seemed to just happen to appear in this place.
When faced with the shock on Mother Li's face, he explained that he was here for inspection. Of course, he would not tell them that he came here specially after learning that they were here.
Pretending to be a hero, he gave the waiter in front of him a severe lesson, and then gave the barber shop's senior membership card to Mother Li.
If a membership card can exchange for their impression of him, he feels that such a transaction is very worthwhile.
"This shopping mall belongs to my family. I just heard them say that you liked a lot of clothes, but I don't know why you didn't buy them. How about this? Their service attitude towards you today is not good. Is this because of my fault? For a good reason, consider the interest and clothes you like as my apology to you."
He knew that Mother Li was a very powerful woman, so as long as she could satisfy her desires, it would be much easier to take advantage of her. With her blowing wind in Li Li's ears, are he still afraid that she will resist him?
