So, Chen's mother and Li Lili walked towards the door again...

"Mom, I like the clothes in this store. Why don't you take a look and pick out a couple more to wear?" Li Lili asked immediately after coming out, clearly puzzled.

"Oh, you mean the clothes in this store? Well, how should I put it? Although they are very pretty, I can't wear this type of clothes all the time, right? One nice piece of clothing in one style is enough." After hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately explained with a smile.

However, at that moment, Li Lili immediately understood the meaning behind Chen's mother's words, and then quickly smiled and nodded at Chen's mother in response.

Chapter 922 Truly Filial Piety

However, at this moment, Chen's mother also turned to look at Li Lili, but in her heart, she was not as casual as she appeared.

"Xiaoxue, if I buy anything else later, please don't insist on paying for it for me. It makes me uncomfortable. You're still a child," Chen's mother said to Li Lili, first reminding her.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Little kid? You're not a little kid anymore, why do you still treat me like a child? Besides, isn't my money Chen Ling's money? Isn't Chen Ling's money your money? And your money is Chen Ling's money, and Chen Ling's money is my money, isn't it? No matter how you look at it, everyone's money is ours, so there's no need to worry about these things, right?" Li Lili started lecturing Chen's mother.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem like there's nothing wrong with it. But I still feel a bit uncomfortable. I don't really like spending the money of the younger generation," Mrs. Chen continued.

"Well, just think of it as us buying something for you. It's like we bought you something even if we didn't come. Don't worry about it, it's really nothing. Don't worry, we can afford to buy you a dress." Li Lili looked at Chen's mother and immediately said with a smile.

"Hmm, who is it? You just bought me a piece of clothing, I know that, but anyway, it makes me feel uncomfortable. So please be more careful in the future and don't buy me any more clothes, okay?" Chen's mother continued from where Li Lili left off.

“That’s not how you talk. Buying you clothes is perfectly normal. Isn’t it showing filial piety? It’s only right. Tell me, which younger generation shouldn’t buy clothes for their family? It’s nothing. Okay? As a younger generation, how can it be wrong to buy clothes for your elders?” Li Lili continued speaking to Chen’s mother.

When Chen's mother heard this, she understood the principle, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"Well, how should I put it? I understand what you're saying, but I still find it hard to accept. You see, Chen Ling and Xiao Qi rarely buy me anything, which makes me feel uncomfortable," Chen's mother said with a smile.

Then Li Lili continued speaking to Chen's mother, "Mom, it seems you really need to change this. It's only right that younger generations buy clothes, things, and gifts for you elders; you don't need to be so concerned. Besides, if it were distant relatives buying these things for you, you might feel uncomfortable, but we're all family. Why are you making such a distinction?"

"Well, I guess it's because I'm financially independent. I can buy what I want myself, so I don't really like the feeling of receiving gifts from others," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

However, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, immediately shook her head after hearing this, and then continued to speak with a smile: "Mom, it's really a good thing that you're financially independent. But, to me, your financial independence is still your own money. The gifts we give you are our way of showing our appreciation. They can't be confused with each other, you understand? Anyway, I just want to advise you to try to accept our kindness in the future."

"Uh, I feel like I can't explain it to you no matter what, just like you can't explain it to me no matter what." Chen's mother said with a helpless smile as she looked at Li Lili.

Li Lili then laughed and said, "Haha, I didn't mean anything by it. Think it over carefully yourself."

“Okay, I’ll think about your suggestion carefully. It would be a bit difficult for me to change it so quickly,” Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

It was indeed difficult to change what Mrs. Chen had said in a short time, a point that Li Lili largely agreed with. Therefore, Shen Lingxue smiled and nodded, indicating her approval of Mrs. Chen's approach.

"Alright, alright, let's go take a look ahead. I've been so busy talking to you that I haven't even had a chance to peek inside the shop yet," Mrs. Chen said with a smile at that moment.

"Sigh, I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable," Li Lili said softly.

Hearing Li Lili say she felt better, Chen's mother became very worried and anxiously asked, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you? Is something uncomfortable, emotional or physical?"

"It's nothing, I'm just not that happy," Li Lili replied casually from the side.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother laughed.

"What's bothering you? Is it because of what just happened? My goodness, that's not true at all," Mrs. Chen said in surprise.

"Yes, I know, it's a bit pretentious to do that. Okay, okay, didn't we just say we weren't going to talk about this anymore? Alright, I won't say anything more, let's go." Li Lili said to Chen's mother with a smile.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen immediately nodded and then said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's go take another look."

Actually, Chen's mother was already a little weak when she said those words. At that moment, she was wondering whether she should continue shopping. She had already bought a suitable piece of clothing; if she continued shopping, how would Li Lili feel?

Chen's mother was somewhat hesitant about this.

Then, Chen's mother smiled and said to Li Lili, "Do you want to continue shopping? If you want to continue shopping, we can go on a little longer. If you feel tired, we have found a place to rest for a while."

"Huh? You don't want to go shopping anymore?" Li Lili asked Chen's mother immediately after hearing this.

Chapter 923 Hmm? What's going on?

As Li Lili spoke these words, she was still somewhat confused. She didn't know what Chen's mother meant. Something felt off.

"Well, I was thinking of buying a suitable outfit too. If we don't want to shop anymore, that would be fine. Of course, it's up to you whether you still want to shop or not. I think it's all good," Mrs. Chen explained with a smile.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Oh, is that what you mean? Well, I'm fine with anything. You decide. If you feel tired, we can go find a place to have some tea."

Although Li Lili said this on the surface, she was actually extremely curious inside. What was going on? She really wanted to know.

“Sure, let’s find a place to have a cup of tea. Oh, by the way, is there anything you want to buy? Don’t think about it later when you get back.” Then, Mrs. Chen reminded him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili laughed first, and then continued, "Hmm, it seems there's nothing left? It's okay, we were supposed to come shopping for clothes with you today, right? I don't have anything important to buy, otherwise I wouldn't have said I couldn't remember."

"Haha, alright then, if you really don't have anything you want to buy, then let's go." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately said with a smile.

"Okay, there's nothing else to buy, let's go." Li Lili then spoke to Chen's mother.

The two of them slowly left the mall and headed straight for the tea house that Li Lili Xue had mentioned.

"The place where Mom drinks tea isn't far from here, it's about a five-minute walk. Let's walk straight there," Li Lili said to Chen's mother as soon as they left the mall.

"Okay, sure. Let's go ahead then. We'll be there in a bit, no problem." Mrs. Chen nodded gently after hearing this.

However, at that moment, Li Lili's team said, "The drinks at this shop are pretty good. Well, how should I put it? I like them. There are usually quite a few customers. I wonder if we have to queue today?"

"Haha, we'll find out in a bit. Come on, I'll go with you and see what's going on inside," Chen's mother said to Li Lili with some curiosity.

Chen's mother was thinking, "What delicious food and drinks could there be so many people here?"

Then he saw Li Lili standing to the side, smiling and saying, "Mhm."

So the two of them headed straight for the shop, and soon they arrived there.

"The shop's decor is quite artistic, very fresh and cute, perfect for taking photos." As soon as Chen's mother walked to the door, she saw the shop's interior design and immediately remarked.

"Yes, this is quite artsy. The words and lighting inside are all very artistic. I personally like this style." Li Lili turned to look at Chen's mother and continued to speak with a smile.

"Xiaoxue, it's not just that you personally like this type, but that most women probably like this type, haha." At this moment, Chen's mother spoke up again with a smile.

"Well, what you're saying doesn't seem wrong. Women probably all prefer this kind of guy, haha." Then Li Lili nodded and smiled as she spoke.

Upon seeing this, Chen's mother immediately laughed and then said, "Let's go, take me to try it."

Then Li Lili pulled Chen's mother in and walked in.

"You're here." Just as they entered the shop, they heard voices from inside...

"Yes, I just got here. Let's find a place to sit first," Li Lili replied casually.

"Okay. Let's see what we want to drink later." Another person spoke up.

So Li Lili and Chen's mother sat down by the window...

"Do you know the owner of this shop?" After sitting down, Chen's mother immediately asked curiously.

"Well, how should I put it? We just met because we often come to this shop for drinks," Li Lili replied with a smile after hearing this.

"Yes, that's great! You can make new friends this way, that's wonderful." Then, Chen's mother said with a smile from the side.

"Haha, of course, what else did you think? How else could I have met him? It wasn't like that before," Li Lili continued.

“Yes, yes, that’s good, that works too,” Mrs. Chen continued.

Then, Chen's mother smiled at Li Lili and said, "Let's see what we want to eat and drink."

“Okay, they have a really good dessert, you can try it later.” Li Lili said to Chen’s mother.

Mrs. Chen also really loves desserts. So she nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Yes, that's great! If you say it's delicious, then it must be delicious. I'll definitely try it later and see what it tastes like."

"Haha, you'll know when you get to eat it," Li Lili said with a laugh.

Just as Li Lili was speaking, the shop owner walked over...

"What would you like to order today?" the boss asked.

"Mom, take a look and see if there's anything you like," Li Lili said with a smile, handing the menu to Chen's mother.

"What do you usually order when you come here? Let's order double today. I trust your taste," said Mrs. Chen with a smile, without even looking at the menu.

"Haha, okay then," said Mrs. Chen with a smile, "since you trust me so much, let's do it the usual way."

"Boss, let's order the usual, double portions," Li Lili said, turning to the boss again.

Chapter 924 Delicious and Affordable

Upon hearing this, the boss immediately gave Li Lili an "OK" sign.

The boss then smiled and said, "Yes, that's fine, it's decided then."

"Okay. Thank you, boss." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately replied.

The boss then smiled at the two of them and left...

"Hmm, I think the places you usually go to must have pretty good food, right? Take me to see them sometime when you have time." After the shop owner left, Mrs. Chen first looked around, and then spoke softly...

"Haha, sure, I think so too. I think the places I've been and the food I've eaten are pretty good, and I'd love to share them with you. So, when do you have time, let's go together?" Li Lili said with a smile immediately after hearing this.

Li Lili genuinely believes this; she has long hoped to spend more of her free time going out with her family.

"Okay, sure. Next time, let's invite your mom too, and the three of us can go together." And then we heard Mrs. Chen say with a smile.

"Haha, okay!" Li Lili replied happily after hearing this.

Actually, this was truly a wish of Li Lili's.

"Mmm." Mrs. Chen nodded lightly.

Then the two of them took out their phones and started looking at them...

Perhaps they were both too tired from shopping in the morning, and now they didn't have much to talk about. Or perhaps because they hadn't looked at their phones all morning, they started looking at them again now.

"The goods are here." After a while, the shop owner walked over and said with a smile.

"Mmm...it smells so good, it has a sweet aroma." Upon seeing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but comment.

"Haha, yes, that's how I feel too." Then Li Lili, who was standing next to her, said with a smile.

"Then you should enjoy your meal quickly," the owner said with a smile.

After saying that, the boss immediately walked away...

"Mom, try this, it's delicious!" Li Lili said with a smile as soon as the shop owner left, pointing to the dessert in front of her.

Then, Chen's mother first met Li Lili's gaze, and then began to taste it.
