Chapter Fourteen Are you two talking about friends?
Of course, it wasn't that Lin Li was really speechless, it was just that he didn't want to argue with Zhao Meilan anymore.
He knew very well that family conditions may be the objective reason, but Zhao Meilan's serious partiality was the root cause of the problem.
This is fully demonstrated by the fact that she would rather give Su Mingcheng two thousand yuan to travel instead of spending one thousand yuan to enroll her daughter in a cram school.
Therefore, Lin Li did not engage in a meaningless argument with her, but frowned slightly and tried to reason: "Aunt Zhao, I can understand your difficulties, but people always come up with solutions. If Su Mingyu
Wouldn't it be a happy event for your family if she could really get into Shuimu? It would be a pity if she gave up because of tuition fees! What's more, even if she can't get into Shuimu, with her grades, there will be many key universities to choose from.
There is no way she should be allowed to go to a normal school and ruin her life."
"What do you mean by ruining her life?"
But when Su Mingcheng on the side heard his words, as if he was blaming his mother, he immediately sneered: "Shi, this is our Su family's business, what does it have to do with you? Who doesn't understand the truth?
Tell me, the problem is money, will you help her give it?"
In addition to being unable to bear the other party blaming his mother, on the other hand, he had long disliked Lin Li.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Lin Li is taller, handsomer, and has better grades than him. If he can get used to seeing Lin Li, he will be a ghost.
Hearing this, Lin Li's face suddenly darkened.
He didn't want to argue with Zhao Meilan because he didn't have that position, and he also wanted to avoid making things unpleasant. That would be meaningless and would not solve any problems.
But what qualifications does Su Mingcheng have to speak out?
Since Lin Li dared to speak against him first, there was no need for Lin Li to save face for him. He immediately glanced at this mama's boy with disdain: "Brother Mingcheng, that's not what you said, right? As Mingyu's classmate, you
My second brother, my sister is going to college. Don’t you have no responsibility at all? Since you are going to work soon, it is only right that you support her studies in the future. At the same time, you can also share the burden of Aunt Zhao and Su.
Uncle’s pressure!”
After saying that, without giving him a chance to fight back, Lin Li also sneered and spoke again: "Of course, maybe in your eyes, there is no sister like Su Mingyu at all, right? Listening to what you just said, you kept saying you were paid.
How about going out to celebrate with uncles and aunts? What about classmate Su Mingyu? Isn't she from the Su family? Have you ever thought about her at all? "
The more he talked, the angrier he became, especially when he vaguely saw the flashing water in Su Mingyu's eyes, which seemed to contain countless unwillingness, helplessness, disappointment, and frustration. He felt that there was an uncontrollable anger in his chest.
Want to erupt.
The girl's young and thin body has endured too many heavy things since she was a child, and all of this came from the family that was supposed to protect her from wind and rain.
After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, how could Lin Li not feel distressed?
But after hearing his series of words, Su Mingyu was stunned.
She had no idea that Shi Tiandong, who had nothing to do with all this, would actually stand up to defend her.
At this moment, there seemed to be an explosion in her mind!
Su Mingyu never expected that when she was most helpless and desperate, there would be someone standing next to her, like a mountain, shielding her from the violent storm outside.
Seeing Lin Li standing next to her, angrily scolding her second brother, while she was extremely excited, her heart felt involuntarily, and the previous feeling of grievance also quickly dissipated.
"What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with you?"
However, when Lin Li's words reached Su Mingcheng's ears, his mentality exploded instantly. He blushed and shouted on the spot: "The affairs of our Su family are none of your business.
Get out of here right away!"
"Su Mingcheng, what qualifications do you have to tell others to get out?"
However, after hearing him say such unpleasant words, Su Mingyu immediately fought back angrily: "This is the house that Shi Tiandong rented. No one except the current landlord has the right to let him leave!"
"Su Mingyu..."
In Su Mingcheng's rage, his eyes quickly turned red.
Immediately, he seemed to suddenly think of something. After his eyes wandered around the two of them, he shouted excitedly again: "Okay, I finally figured it out. Su Mingyu, you are really good at it. You learned it at a young age."
A man has found a concubine, do you still want to show your face?"
"Su Mingcheng!"
Seeing that he was getting more and more ugly as he spoke, Zhao Meilan suddenly slammed the table.
And when she got angry, the whole situation was under control.
Immediately afterwards, her eyes glanced around her daughter and Lin Li, her eyes full of suspicion.
But she didn't question the two of them on the spot. Instead, she turned around and scolded her son: "What are you talking about here?"
"What nonsense?" Su Mingcheng looked angry: "Mom, did I say something wrong? You saw this with your own eyes, the two of them..."
"Enough!"
Seeing that he wanted to talk again, Zhao Meilan drank again, her face turned extremely ugly: "Go back to the room!"
"Mom..." Su Mingcheng had a look of disbelief on his face, but when he saw his mother's face, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he glared at Lin Li and Su Mingyu fiercely, turned around and went back to the room.
"Xiao Shi, I'm really sorry. Mingcheng doesn't mean what he says. I hope you don't take it to heart."
After a period of silence, Zhao Meilan first expressed her apology. After all, with her face-conscious character, what just happened made her feel embarrassed.
"Auntie's words are serious. It's just a few words between us young people. It's not a big deal. I don't take it to heart." Lin Li said calmly.
In fact, there was nothing worth taking to heart about the incompetent rage of a useless person.
"That's good." Zhao Meilan smiled reluctantly, then hesitated for a moment, then stared at him closely and asked the main topic: "Xiao Shi, you and Mingyu...are you two talking about friends?
?”
Su Mingyu became anxious when she heard this: "Mom, how could you listen to Su Mingcheng's nonsense..."
"Shut up, I didn't ask you!"
Zhao Meilan interrupted her coldly.
"Aunt Zhao, you misunderstood."
Lin Li looked calm and looked directly at her very frankly: "I have no relationship with classmate Su Mingyu, it is just a simple relationship between classmates."
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, then looked back at Su Mingyu, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"But Aunt Zhao, I must admit here that I do have a very good impression of Mingyu."
