"What about the gift money?" Pei Jing turned his head to look at Zhi Xia, puzzled: "I didn't hear you mention this before?"
"I didn't even know about it myself, I didn't realize I had given you a gift!" Zhi Xia said sarcastically, "Forget it, let's go."
After Zhi Xia finished speaking, she pulled Pei Jing out. Wang Li chased them from behind, "Zhi Xia..."
She called out, seeing Zhi Xia look back, before saying: "Zhi Xia, Li Fei and I are already married, Liu Xuan has also started a new life..."
Zhi Xia understood what she meant, the facts had already happened, even if she said it now, it would only cause pain for the three people.
"Wang Li, there are no walls in the world that don't let the wind through. You only saw the joy in front of you, but have you ever thought about what kind of storm you will encounter when things are exposed?"
This was the only advice Zhi Xia could give her.
In fact, she still didn't understand to this day, Wang Li obviously didn't like Li Fei that much, but after Liu Xuan's arrival, she even used deceptive means to marry Li Fei.
What was she thinking?
Wang Li returned home dejectedly. Just as she heard Li Fei ask her, "Ali, why do I feel you and Zhi Xia are a little strange, did you guys have a fight? Also about the gift money, didn't you say Zhi Xia gave the money to you in advance since she wasn't there? Why does she seem to not know about it?"
"Li Fei, I'm sorry, I lied. Actually, Zhi Xia and I had some minor conflicts recently and we never made up. You and Zhi Xia also have a good relationship, I didn't want you to know we were fighting, and it just so happened that Zhi Xia wasn't there for our wedding, I was afraid you would overthink it, so I falsely claimed that Zhi Xia had given gift money." Wang Li's mind was full of Zhi Xia's words, and her whole person was in chaos.
She didn't understand either, her original intention was just to use Li Fei to make Liu Xuan give up, but after being persuaded by her mother when she returned home, she began to waver and took step after step to her current situation.
On the wedding day, she had also prepared chicken blood in advance to pull the wool over everyone's eyes.
And now, it made her unable to get off the tiger she was riding.
"Then that's your fault, how could you lie to me about this? Besides, you and Zhi Xia were so close, it's very normal for friends to have some conflicts, what's the big deal? We can all sit down and resolve it properly, we've been friends for so long, is it necessary to break off the relationship over some minor issue?"
"Anyway, it's not a big deal, it's just a disagreement between two people's values, and how is this my fault? You're my partner, even if it's my mistake, you have to think I'm right!"
Afraid that Li Fei would get more and more enthusiastic, Wang Li hurriedly glossed over it, really not wanting to go around this topic anymore.
Li Fei smiled helplessly and said, looking at her with doting eyes, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, you're both right..."
Pei Jing and Zhi Xia came to the noodle shop next door, and their previously good mood was also completely ruined.
"Is this the Li Fei you were talking about?" He had seen Wang Li before, and also knew that Zhi Xia was quite close to her at school.
Zhi Xia nodded, "Let's eat noodles, this noodle shop is pretty good."
Pei Jing nodded, and ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles.
Seeing that Zhi Xia was still angry, he smiled and comforted her, "Don't be angry anymore. Everyone has their own choices, and will eventually pay the price for their choices. As long as it doesn't affect us, what does it have to do with us? There is no need to get angry at other people's mistakes, it's not worth it."
"I thought if it was you, you would choose to tell the truth." After all, in Zhi Xia's impression, he had always been a very upright person.
If you say it before the wedding, it's a kind reminder made in good faith. They are already married now, if you say it now it will seem like you are trying to sabotage their relationship. At best, they will understand and apologize to you, at worst, they will blame their misfortune on the person who exposed them.
"You sound so experienced, have you encountered something like this before?" Zhi Xia suddenly felt.
Pei Jing just smiled, and didn't say much more.
But his expression told her that he had indeed encountered it before.
Zhi Xia also didn't know why she was so angry, it wasn't even her business.
Thinking about it this way, she did feel better.
The shredded pork noodles at the noodle shop were very large bowls. When she and Wang Li came to eat before, they would share one bowl between the two of them.
This time it was Pei Jing who ordered, and Zhi Xia forgot to remind him earlier. Now looking at the two huge bowls of noodles in front of her, she started worrying about her stomach.
"It's too much, I can't finish it, I'll share some with you."
Pei Jing had a big appetite. He nodded, then used his chopsticks to transfer some noodles into his own bowl.
"Is this enough?"
"Enough."
When they finished eating and walked out of the shop, they saw not far from the door, a little girl hugging Wang Li's leg calling "Mommy".
There was some pain in Wang Li's eyes as she looked at the little girl, while Li Fei didn't understand. He was still looking around calling out, "Whose child is this? Got the wrong person right?"
Wang Li also hurriedly pried the little girl's hands open, squatted down to look directly at her, "Little girl, you've got the wrong person, I'm not your mother."
Her voice sounded somewhat hoarse, and the rims of her eyes were slightly red.
"You are my mother, I've seen your photo before, I recognize my mother."
That was when Wang Li had just decided to return to the city. At that time she still had feelings for Liu Xuan, and had never thought of abandoning her husband and daughter. She only wanted to find an opportunity to bring them to the city.
She also took the initiative to go to town to take the photo, for fear that her daughter would forget her after being separated for too long, and repeatedly urged Liu Xuan to make sure her daughter looked at her photo.
She didn't expect that she was once worried that her daughter would forget her, but now her daughter remembered while she had to push her away with her own hands.
Liu Xuan hurried out from the shop, anxiously hugging the little girl in his arms, "Si Si, you've got the wrong person, this isn't your mother."
The little girl stared at Wang Li's face for a long time before losing hold of Liu Xuan disappointingly.
"Sorry folks, the child was missing her mother and mistaken someone else, really sorry for causing trouble for you." Liu Xuan's voice was already very calm. It seemed that he had already accepted the fact that Wang Li had remarried.
At first, he thought that if he earned enough money to stay in the city, Wang Li would come back. But now, he didn't know what Liu Xuan was thinking.
"It's fine, the child is quite pitiful too. Is her mother gone?" Li Fei still liked this little girl quite a bit. He felt somewhat familiar with her but was very sure he didn't know the other party.
Liu Xuan didn't answer. He hugged Liu Si and went back into the shop.
Li Fei was still complaining, "This guy is a bit rude!"
Wang Li gently tugged at his shirt hem, "Let's go."
