Chi Li touched her face and said, "Oh, maybe I put on too much powder and forgot to put on blush."

After saying that, she glared at Baizhenxi, who was playing quail, and said, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"I'm sorry." Bai Zhenxi said very quickly.

Father Chi was happy. She didn't expect that his words would bring an unexpected surprise: her good daughter was going to have a conflict with her boyfriend.

"Lili, what do you think he is doing? How can a man know how to put on makeup?" Cheng Qingyun said, giving Bai Zhenxi a comforting look.

Bai Zhenxi quickly expressed her attitude: "Auntie, it's my fault. Even if I don't understand, I should still learn. As long as Lili needs me, I'm willing to learn anything."

Cheng Qingyun was very pleased with his attitude. He clapped his hands and said, "What a good boy! Lili is so lucky to have you."

Father Chi's heart was filled with alarm. He was not satisfied with this pretty boy. He looked at Bai Zhenxi gloomily and asked, "Do you have a house? Do you have any savings?"

Chi Li continued, "None of that, but Dad, he has a heart that loves me."

Father Chi's eyes darkened, and he looked at Chi Li with a look of disappointment. He said with deep sorrow, "Li Li, you are still young. You don't understand that marrying a poor boy will bring you a lot of hardship."

Chi Li took Bai Zhenxi's arm and said, "Dad, he's not a poor boy. He promised me that when he gets rich selling fried rice, he'll marry me and become the boss' wife, and we'll run the family business together."

Bai Zhenxi's face darkened. When had he ever said that? Which rich man would marry his daughter to a fried rice seller?

Father Chi felt dizzy and thought that his daughter must have been brainwashed by this poor boy, otherwise how could she have such stupid ideas.

Cheng Qingyun was laughing secretly, Chi Li had already told her Bai Zhenxi's family background.

The Bai family, like theirs, started from scratch, so they were a good match. Even if the Bai family went bankrupt, so what? Their own family also went bankrupt, but they would never be defeated. They all believed that they could start over with hard work.

She didn't tell her husband about Bai Zhenxi's family background for any other reason than to enjoy the fun! Her husband's angry expression was truly amusing.

"Uncle, uncle, I won't keep selling fried rice. I'll wait until I've settled the things at home..." Bai Zhenxi looked at Chi's father's gloomy face and wanted to explain anxiously.

"That's enough. Stop promising me big things. I won't buy it." Father Chi said with a wave of his hand.

Bai Zhenxi's words were drowned in his throat and he didn't dare to continue.

The waiter pushed the door open and placed the dishes on the cart on the table one by one, saying, "Please enjoy your meal."

"Let's eat and talk less." Cheng Qingyun's last sentence was obviously said to Chi's father.

After having enough fun, Chi Li let go of the dazed Bai Zhenxi and started eating with chopsticks. It was really delicious.

The braised spare ribs, placed in the center of the table, were a brilliant red, succulent mess, each piece uniform in size and coated in a thick sauce. A gentle bite revealed the succulent meat, its sweet and salty flavors instantly spreading throughout the mouth, its unique aroma intoxicating.

The tender fish meat retains its original freshness, and the shredded green onion and ginger just remove the fishy smell. Then drizzle it with a spoonful of soy sauce stimulated by hot oil, which makes people linger on the taste.

The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are equally delicious. The lush green vegetables are tender and refreshing, as if the whole spring is put into the plate.

However, Chi Li’s favorite is the tomato beef brisket soup. The rich tomato juice blends with the soft beef brisket. The soup is sweet and sour, and the beef brisket melts in the mouth. Every bite is full of warmth and satisfaction.

"Li Li, eat more." Bai Zhenxi came back to his senses from his daze and tried his best to pick up some food for Chi Li.

He wanted to show himself as much as possible and try to win the favor of the two elders of the Chi family.

Father Chi snorted coldly. Just as he was about to say something, Cheng Qingyun glared at him and he didn't dare to speak again.

"Zhenxi, you should eat too. Don't worry about her. She has hands and feet and can pick up the food for herself." Cheng Qingyun advised.

Bai Zhenxi smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay, I'm not hungry."

"The house that was awarded to our family by the court has been returned to us. Your father and I have moved back to the old house. Lili, you and Zhenxi should come back and live with us!" Cheng Qingyun said. His daughter didn't have much money, so she definitely didn't live in a good place.

"Impossible, I don't agree." Father Chi said as he put his chopsticks on the plate.

He would never let this poor boy into his house.

Cheng Qingyun pretended not to hear him, thought for a moment, and said to Chi Li, "Children nowadays all want to have their own lives. Living with their elders will definitely make you feel awkward. How about you move to that small villa in the South District?"

When Chi Li heard there was a villa to live in, her eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, I want to go."

The dishes on the table gradually emptied. Chi Li's phone rang, and she naturally answered it: "Hello?"

"It's me. Lu Qi's funeral is held tonight. This guy kept telling me that he was an only child, but it turned out that his real brother came to the funeral. I was so pissed off. What's his name? Lu Tu? He kept walking with his face up. I'm speechless. Why is he pretending to be so profound? He's so arrogant that he deserves a beating." Song Song was so angry that he called to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Lu Tu?" Chi Li exclaimed.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Song Song asked when he heard her slightly sharp voice.

Bai Zhenxi also looked over and asked her: What's wrong?

"Please send me the address. There is something wrong with Lu Tu." Chi Li said.

Song Song responded, hung up the phone, and sent the funeral address to Chi Li.

"Dad, Mom, we have something urgent to attend to, so we'll leave first." Chi Li said.

"Have two more bites of ribs." Cheng Qingyun put another piece of ribs on her plate.

Chi Li finished her meal obediently, then said goodbye to her parents and left with Bai Zhenxi.

"What's wrong? Any news about Lu Tu?" Bai Zhenxi asked as he walked downstairs.

"Well, Song Song said that Lu Tu is Lu Qi's brother. Does this mean that your family was also bankrupted by Jiang Yun?" Chi Li said.

As long as we meet Lu Tu, the truth will come to light.

After walking out of the restaurant, Chi Li suddenly saw a person who could never appear here.

"Jiang Yun? Weren't you arrested?" she asked in shock.

Jiang Yun looked at the two of them calmly and said, "Miss Chi, why are you so naive? There are so many things that can be settled with just a little money. Besides, lowly insects like your Chi family can be crushed to death without even lifting a foot."

Chi Li's chest heaved violently, her eyes wide open, filled with uncontrollable rage: "You bastard, if you don't lift your foot, what are you going to step on? Are you going to stand upside down and grab my head?"

Bai Zhenxi shielded Chi Li from view and turned to face Jiang Yun. Her gaze was like the cold wind of winter, stinging and icy on the face. "Did you let the accountant take the blame for you? Are you so confident that you've done it perfectly?"
