Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Chapter 486 Li Xi was insulted
Zhang Ling followed the old lady through the office area.

Walk a few steps to the left of the bookshelf behind the desk.

What comes into view is a deep and bright corridor.

As you walk in, you'll be illuminated by warm lights.

It was like a most trusted elder was caressing her with his warm hands.

The heart that had been disturbed by Li Xi suddenly became surprisingly calm.

It was as if I just needed to stand next to the old lady.

The sky above her head would never collapse.

All she had to do was to follow the old lady's arrangements with peace of mind.

enjoy!

Because Zhang Ling was inexplicably certain that everything the old lady did next was for her own good.

In the generation baptized by the wind of freedom.

Perhaps they will rebel and think that being disciplined too much by their parents is an extremely heavy burden.

But for people like Zhang Ling who lost their mother's love (or father's love) at a young age.

It is a luxury to have a mother (or father) who can take care of them more every day.

Because for them it is a great blessing to have parents who discipline and nag them all day long.

That is why they always look with envy and jealousy at those ignorant friends who are born with blessings but do not know how to appreciate them.

Just like when I first heard about Fan Wei's happiness.

I find those expressions ridiculous.

If we could put ourselves in Fan Wei’s shoes and understand his happiness.

The last thing we should do is complain and hurt our parents who are good to us.

Maybe your parents don't understand what you are thinking at this moment.

The "lack of understanding" here does not mean that there are serious and irreconcilable conflicts between parents and children.

It even evolved to the extreme point of "either you die or I die".

You have to know that the reason why contradictions are considered "irreconcilable".

The main reason is that at least one member of the family is extremely selfish.

If every family member wants to have a happy home.

As a child, you cannot deny the discipline of your parents.

I really hope you can live a better life!

(Note: This is based on the premise that the parents really do it for the good of their children. It is not selfish for some ulterior motive of their own.)
of course!

Zhang Ling was thinking so much at this time.

There was indeed a moment when she really imagined that the old lady was her mother.

But in the end, it was because she remembered her father telling her the news of her mother's death.

This temporarily suppressed what she thought were unrealistic ideas.

When we came to a door at the end of the corridor.

Mother Ning quickly walked forward and opened the automatic door.

I haven't had time to appreciate the layout and furnishings of the room in front of me.

She smelled the aroma of food.

There is the aroma of braised pork sauce, the dense sweet and sour taste of sweet and sour carp, the fresh fragrance of stir-fried vegetables, and so on.

No matter which flavor it is, it is her favorite.

What I want to say in particular is that these flavors always give me a sense of familiarity.

That is, I seriously suspect that the old lady specially called my father to prepare a table full of delicious food.

That's why she couldn't help but look around to see if there was her father?

To her disappointment, she didn't find it.

A voice saying "Don't just stand there, come and sit next to me" brought Zhang Ling back from her messy thoughts.

Her body subconsciously obeyed the old lady's orders.

This feeling of being at the mercy of others is very intimate and happy.

Li Xi, who followed behind, saw that the food in front of him was not presented in a fancy way.

Disappointed like a deflated balloon, no interest at all.

She even blamed the old patriarch in her heart for deceiving her.

He actually said that the old lady in front of him was such a prominent figure.

If that's the case.

Why was the food the old lady served to entertain people so mediocre?

It's just a home-cooked meal made casually by ordinary people.

Don’t even think about eating such a meal.

Li Xi lost his appetite after just one look.

The main reason was that she felt that this kind of food was totally unworthy of her eating.

So she began to think about escaping from here.

"Madam, that..."

Li Xi was just about to make up an excuse to leave.

The old lady suddenly waved her hand to interrupt Li Xi, then enthusiastically motioned for him to sit down and said:
"Oh, it was my negligence. I forgot about the two children who came with Zhang Ling. Don't be so reserved. Coming to my place is like coming home. Sit wherever you want and eat whatever you want."

That's what they say.

Li Xi suddenly made the excuse that he had eaten too much for breakfast.

Now I have no appetite looking at the delicious food in front of me.

As a junior, how could Wang Li be so rude as to pick up her chopsticks before her elders?

She picked up her chopsticks first?

So Wang Li had no choice but to decline with a smile and let the old lady go first.

The old lady just glanced at Li Xi silently.

Then he looked at Wang Li with a look of fondness in his eyes and nodded.

This is an affirmation of Wang Li's good family education.

visible!

The quality of tutoring will not improve because of the power that some people have.

On the contrary, they may become degraded because of the power they possess.

Zhang Ling saw through Li Xi's little thoughts and deliberately exposed them:
"Li Xi, you look troubled. Do you think the food on the table is not tasty, or do you have something important to deal with and want to leave?"

Li Xi seemed to have forgotten the purpose of following here.

He stood up with joy.

I was just about to follow Zhang Ling's intention and make a choice and escape from here.

unexpectedly!

Wang Li stopped Li Xi in time and emphasized the purpose of their trip again.

Only then did Li Xi deny Zhang Ling's guess.

At the same time, he sat back in his chair very reluctantly.

The old lady then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of browned fish and placed it in the bowl in front of Zhang Ling.

Urging Zhang Ling to try it.

Zhang Ling was flattered but still rudely said:

"Madam, you are the elder! How can I, a junior, live like this when you treat me like this?"

Plus, she took into consideration that the old lady was an elderly person.

So while talking, he quickly picked up a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put a golden egg in the old lady's bowl, and smiled and gestured to continue:
"I see that the eggs in this plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes are golden and tender. I think it is most suitable for a person of status like you, old lady. How about... you try this first?"

The old lady had not yet answered.

Li Xi snorted at an inappropriate moment and replied:
"Hey, Zhang Ling, look, there are delicious dishes on the table. Why did you only pick up a piece of the cheapest egg for the old lady to eat? This is too..."

Li Xi hadn't finished his sarcastic words yet.

The old lady couldn't bear to listen anymore and glared at Li Xi.

The murderous look made Li Xi shudder and he dared not say another word.

Then the old lady quickly smiled lovingly at Zhang Ling and said:

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you still remember that I love scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Let me try it, I'll try it right away."

Is it an illusion?
Zhang Ling actually saw crystal tears in the old lady's eyes.

Especially when I saw the old lady chewing eggs.

The tears were particularly full and crystal clear.

Li Xi was very unhappy after being humiliated!
She once again confirmed that the information the old patriarch gave her was absolutely wrong.

Because according to Li Xi's way of thinking, she imagined that all people of prominent status should live a refined life like her.

I will never touch the junk food on the table that is not beautifully presented.

Therefore, the old man in front of her was definitely not the distinguished person that the old patriarch said. So she overturned her own bowl and plate in front of her very impolitely.

At the same time, after seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she did not forget to arrogantly excuse her behavior and said:

"Wang Li, look at this table. What kind of food is on it? There is no exquisite presentation, nor is there any gorgeous tableware. Is this edible?"

Wang Li wondered how she should answer this?
Saying disrespectful words to the old lady in her territory is tantamount to seeking death.

But it is not yet the time to fall out with Li Xi.

So she looked at the old lady with embarrassment.

I really don’t know how to answer Li Xi’s question?
Li Xi waited for a long time but did not get Wang Li's response.

He was about to scold her with an unhappy look on his face.

Unexpectedly, before Li Xi opened his mouth, the old lady said:

"Oh, so from what you said, I mean the food I prepared is not for human consumption?"

The rational Li Xi wanted to deny the old lady's question.

But the sentimental Li Xi couldn't help but say words of affirmation.

She really regretted it the moment she said it.

The old lady said with an unhappy look:
"Well, I'm not the type to force people to do things against their will. Someone, please help me take Miss Li, who doesn't want to condescend to eat with me."

"Ah, no..."

Li Xi wanted to defend himself.

But Ning's mother interrupted without giving her a chance and said:

"Miss Li Xi, you are invited!"

Li Xi felt more embarrassed than ever before.

She always asks others to leave when she's having a meal.

But today, I was invited instead.

And he was invited in front of Zhang Ling.

What made Li Xi even more unhappy was that Ning's mother only asked her to leave.

She scolded Wang Li and asked her to leave with her.

This will reduce some of the embarrassment in your heart.

Unexpectedly, Ning's mother deliberately offended her.

In front of her, he very politely asked Wang Li to stay and continue eating.

Who is Wang Li?

In Li Xi's view, Wang Li has always been just a dog she raised.

Why did she become a tool to be trampled on?
Wang Li, are you worthy?
This answer is definitely not worthy for Li Xi.

And Wang Li dared to disobey her in public, so she really stayed obediently.

What does this mean?
It means that the dog she raised rebelled.

Li Xi was extremely unhappy.

He once tried to slap Wang Li in the face.

But Mrs. Ning, who looked old and frail, actually thought Wang Li was an old lady guest.

Li Xi had no choice but to act wildly and beat people in front of the old lady.

He reacted quickly and blocked Li Xi's slap with just one hand.

Li Xi struggled to break free.

Even her identity as a member of the Wuchuan Li family suppressed Ning's mother.

Mother Ning said fearlessly that the Wuchuan Li family was nothing in front of the old lady.

As long as the old lady is willing, she can remove the Li family from Wuchuan in a matter of minutes.

Mother Ning’s fearless spirit.

The arrogant Li Xi suddenly remembered the old patriarch's warning.

For the time being, I didn't dare to create any unnecessary trouble.

He could only be escorted out of the room in shame by Ning's mother.

However, Li Xi was still smart.

In order to save his lost face.

Before Ning's mother closed the shop, she directed and acted out a scene:
The scene where Ning's mother wanted to keep her, but she insisted on leaving.

The purpose was to cover up the fact that she was kicked out from outsiders who were not aware of the situation.

Mother Ning was surprised when she saw Li Xi's clever tricks.

He just smiled disdainfully, closed the door and left.

No stopping.

Because I feel it's not worth it for someone like Li Xi.

That will only lower your own grade.

You read that right!
This is according to the ideas and thoughts of feudal society.

People like Ning's mother are slaves and servants in noble families.

When facing outsiders who are obviously not of the same level as the host.

They will also feel superior from the bottom of their hearts and feel that their words and actions represent the image of the master.

Therefore, they naturally would not deliberately do anything that would damage the image of the host family.

This is the loyalty that people have advocated and praised since ancient times.

of course!

If Li Xi was smarter, she would have realized that her behavior was embarrassing in front of Ning's mother.

That is, it would be a loss for her as a member of the Li family, the number one family in Wuchuan.

But in Li Xi's world, there are not so many ifs.

So Li Xi was stupid and didn't realize it.

Instead, he did something even more embarrassing.

when!
What if someone who is good at flattery comes forward and tries to ask Li Xi what he needs?

Li Xi was surprised that he did this to please himself.

She tried to threaten the other party by using her identity as the most beloved granddaughter of the old patriarch of the Li family.

Let the other person act like a dog in public to amuse you.

Anyone with a backbone.

When I heard Li Xi's ridiculous request.

I will definitely refuse without hesitation.

pity!

The one who tried to please Lee Hee.

It feels like I have been oppressed to the extreme by life.

He actually gritted his teeth and followed Li Xi's request, imitating the pug and sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.

That funny look not only made Li Xi laugh.

And some people who habitually bully others for fun.

They also offered a buy-one-get-one-free promotion to express their admiration and respect for Li Xi.

A playful scene.

Suddenly, there was an air of contempt from someone who thought highly of himself.

what!
This world except Zhang Ling.

There are people who dare to disrespect her in front of her.

Because I am used to the arrogant Li Xi.

Plus, I've been stuck in prison for too long recently.

So she bossed the pug she had just tamed forward and carried the person in front of her.

Then he asked in a very unhappy tone, like a county magistrate in ancient times who was questioning people:
"Tell me! What did that expression of yours just now mean?"

Bie Shanliu glanced at Li Xi and asked in a confused manner:
"what expression?"

Pug definitely has an acting talent worthy of an Oscar winner.

He imitated Bie Shanliu's contempt for Li Xi very vividly.

Seemingly defending Li Xi, he jumped up and down and accused Bie Shanliu of pretending to be confused.

Even though Pug's rank in the company is half a level higher than hers.

She still ignored the pug's questioning without any mercy for Zhang Ling.

Then he snorted at Li Xi with contempt and said:
"Miss Li, you are probably a fool. You don't even know what my expression just now meant?"

Li Xi and the pug have a high level of emotional empathy.

As if they had discussed it beforehand, both of them began to use their identities to loudly criticize and educate Bie Shanliu.

Trying to make Bie Shanliu succumb to their tyranny.
