"You were in the room, why didn't you say anything?"

Zhao Xinmei said this and walked to Li Zhe's bed and sat down.

Because it was a double quilt, it was larger and covered more tightly, and Li Zhe had his legs raised, so she didn't notice that there was a living person hidden under the quilt.

"I saw a lot of things in the living room. They must have been bought by Yangyang. But I didn't see her. Did you see her when you came back?"

"Mom, do you have something to talk to her about? Isn't she just..."

Li Zhe paused in the middle of his speech, and felt Xu Yang's body tighten under the quilt, then he changed the subject and said, "Isn't she in the room?"

"I went to her room and she wasn't there."

"Maybe he went out."

"It's late at night, and I don't know what she is doing as a girl."

Zhao Xinmei paused and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly:

"This Yangyang was quite nice before, but how did he become like this now, spending all day shopping?

Isn't it a sheer waste of money to buy so many clothes that I can't even wear them all?"

……

There is a saying that goes, "When you are close, you become distant; when you are far away, you feel fragrant; when you are close, you become tired; when you are away, you miss someone."

Distance creates beauty. If people are too close to each other and there is no distance between them for a long time, conflicts are inevitable.

This is true even between parents and their biological children, let alone between outsiders.

Ever since Zhao Xinmei came to Yanjing, Xu Yang had been hanging around in front of her every day in order to show off, but ended up making things worse and making Zhao Xinmei a little annoyed with her.

What's more, she went shopping every day and spent money lavishly, which made Zhao Xinmei, who was used to being frugal, even more upset.

This little guy was totally unaware of the problem. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to Zhao Xinmei and was a little complacent.

All I can say is that in terms of observing people's words and expressions and pleasing elders, she is not even a bit inferior to Chou Tzuyu.

Xiaoyu only went to the store to help out on weekends, and occasionally came to cook a meal for Zhao Xinmei, and brought some fruits and daily necessities, which made Zhao Xinmei like her more and more.

Li Zhe listened quietly with a smile as Zhao Xinmei scolded Xu Yang, without interrupting.

His mother is like this, she cares too much about her face. Even if she is dissatisfied, she will endure it and will not easily fall out with others.

Otherwise, even if Xu Yang was careless, he would not have been unaware of it.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Xinmei noticed the smile on Li Zhe's face and immediately took out her dissatisfaction on him.

"Yangyang has been spoiled by you. If you hadn't always given her money, she wouldn't have become like this."

She didn't know that Li Zhe had given Xu Yang a credit card with a limit of 50,000 yuan, otherwise she would have been even more angry.

The monthly turnover of a milk tea shop may not even be 50,000.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I will definitely take good care of her in the future. I will suspend her card and take back the car. I won't let her drive anymore." Li Zhe said with a smile.

There is a generation gap between the ideas and concepts of the elderly and the young people. It is really useless to argue with them. It is better to fool them if possible.

However, Zhao Xinmei was not easy to fool. She glared at Li Zhe and said, "Don't play tricks on me. I'm not sorry for the money, but you are doing this wrong."

"Hiss!" Li Zhe suddenly frowned and took a breath of cold air.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xinmei asked.

"It's okay, my legs just have a little cramp." Li Zhe said as he moved his legs.

He just said a few words to her, but this little bitch actually dared to bite him.

"I'm fine, why is your leg cramped?"

Zhao Xinmei glanced around and her eyes fell on the quilt covering Li Zhe's lower body, and suddenly she felt something was wrong.

Seeing this, Li Zhe quickly diverted her attention, "By the way, when I came back, I bought some seafood on the way and put it on the kitchen floor."

“What kind of seafood?”

"Prawns, crabs, mantis shrimps, and a large lobster (Australian lobster). Anyway, there are quite a lot."

"Why did you buy so much seafood? This stuff won't keep well. If it's not fresh, it won't taste good."

Zhao Xinmei stood up and said, "I'll go take care of it. Steam it quickly, or it will go bad. You can eat as much as you can later. I can't eat much.

And call Yangyang and tell her to go home and eat seafood." After Zhao Xinmei left, the door was closed again. Li Zhe patted the quilt and said, "Okay, you can come out now."

Xu Yang lifted the quilt and showed his head, looking aggrieved, and remained silent.

"What? You can't stand what my mother says to you?" Li Zhe glanced at her.

"Who told you to be so vain all day long? You bought so many clothes and cosmetics, and you always show them off in front of her. It's strange that she can get used to it."

"It's all my fault that you all hate me so much. Just leave Chou Tzuyu alone, okay?" Xu Yang turned his head away angrily, his eyes red.

She felt really wronged. She had tried her best to please Zhao Xinmei, but she didn't expect that it would be a thankless task. Zhao Xinmei still had such a big grievance against her.

"Why are your eyes red? Are you crying over such a small matter?"

"Who said I cried? I didn't cry." Xu Yang said stubbornly, but his tears kept flowing out.

Li Zhe is partial to Zhou Ziyu, and now even Zhao Xinmei is not on her side. She feels that she is becoming more and more hopeless.

"Okay, my mom is just grumbling and complaining, but in fact, she still likes you very much."

Li Zhe reached out to wipe the tears of the little girl and said with a smile.

"Really?" Xu Yang turned his head.

"Of course it's true, otherwise she wouldn't think of you first when she has something delicious to eat, and she just asked me to ask you to eat seafood.

You are also ignorant. When you go shopping, don't you know to buy her some too?"

"How do you know I didn't buy anything for my aunt? I always bought things for her before, and I bought her a lot, but she always blamed me." Xu Yang argued unconvinced.

Li Zhe heard this, but shook his head in his heart.

Although this little girl grew up in the countryside, the wealth of farms in Northeast China at that time was much greater than that of ordinary urban families. In addition, she was an only child, so it was inevitable that she was a little spoiled and rarely considered or cared about the feelings of others.

In this regard, Zhou Ziyu is completely different. She grew up under the cold eyes of others and learned to observe people's words and expressions and take care of other people's emotions very early.

"That's because you gave the wrong gift. Do you know what it means to please someone?"

Li Zhe said this, stood up, took the jacket placed aside, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Xu Yang.

"What is this?" Xu Yang opened the small box and found a small gold gourd pendant inside.

"Give this to my mother later and tell her you bought it especially for her. She will definitely like it."

"Is it really useful?" Xu Yang was a little skeptical.

She had bought a lot of big-brand clothes and cosmetics for Zhao Xinmei before, but Zhao Xinmei didn't seem to like them very much. She even thought they were too expensive and accused her of spending money recklessly.

Although this gourd pendant is made of gold, it is not heavy and is worth only a little over a thousand yuan at most.

In 2007, one gram of gold cost less than 200 yuan.

"You'll know after you try it."

"Okay, I'll try it later! Then I'll go out, otherwise my aunt will come looking for me again later."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but Li Zhe grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.

"No hurry, it'll be fine when we get out later."

"Don't mess around, it will be troublesome if Auntie finds out."

"Just keep quiet."

Li Zhe asked Xu Yang to kneel on the bed, then grabbed the pillowcase and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Bite it."

……

Li Zhe didn’t believe in love that grows over time before. If someone didn’t have feelings for someone at the beginning, it would be difficult for them to have feelings for them in the future.

Especially for those who have known each other for a long time, it may be out of affection, a habit, or a compromise after weighing the pros and cons, but in short, it is unlikely to be love.

But now he believed it a little.

At least... as they spent more and more time together, his desire for Xu Yang was no longer just revengeful, he actually began to like this little girl, and even the obsession in his heart gradually faded.

After all, the one who betrayed him back then was not her, but another "Xu Yang". (End of this chapter)
