"Rongrong, should we add sugar to this? How much?" In the kitchen, Lu Zhuoyue asked Li Rongrong excitedly.
Li Rongrong had rolled up her sleeves and was washing the soaked red beans. "Add a little brown sugar. He doesn't like it too sweet."
As Lu Zhuoyue added the sugar, she chuckled, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there could be a woman around Qinian. Even though you're still young, it's enough to surprise me."
Li Rongrong's hand paused, and she felt puzzled. "Didn't he have someone before? How is that possible? He was already so old."
"Never." Lu Zhuoyue sighed and said, "Our family has been so worried about it, afraid that he might have some problem. But he simply says there's nothing wrong, not in any aspect, and no one can convince him otherwise."
Li Rongrong continued her work silently.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhuoyue watched her and smiled, saying, "Just thinking that Qinian enjoys these things that young girls like, it's hard to believe! By the way, would you accompany me to go shopping later? I want to buy a gift for Qinian."
In the shopping mall, Lu Zhuoyue affectionately held Li Rongrong's arm as they strolled around.
When they reached the men's clothing section, Lu Zhuoyue sighed again, "I want to buy clothes for Qinian, but his clothes are all custom-made. I wonder if he would wear something from other brands?"
Li Rongrong replied vaguely, "He should accept whatever you give him."
"Then help me decide. Which one looks good?" Lu Zhuoyue casually pointed at a few shirts.
"They all look similar. Is there a difference between shirts?" Li Rongrong couldn't see any distinction.
But Lu Zhuoyue had a different perspective. She explained, "They are not the same. Look at this one, it has stripes. Qinian doesn't like such flashy patterns. And this button style isn't his preference either... As for this one, I've never seen him wear it, so he probably wouldn't like it..."
Li Rongrong stared at Lu Zhuoyue, feeling somewhat dazed. Why did she seem like she was picking clothes for her boyfriend? Her face was even blushing as if she had entered some kind of scenario...
"Let's go with this one! He would look handsome in it. Actually, no matter what clothes Qinian wears, he always looks good." Lu Zhuoyue's eyes had a hint of infatuation as she spoke.
Li Rongrong was stunned! Wasn't Lu Zhuoyue Lu Qinian's sister? Did she misinterpret something? Otherwise, why would she have such thoughts?
"Rongrong? Come here and help me choose a coat! Let's pick a few more." Lu Zhuoyue eagerly called for Li Rongrong's assistance in making her selection.
"Oh, alright!" Li Rongrong shook her head and suppressed the doubts in her heart. Then, she saw Lu Zhuoyue looking at the men's jackets one by one. Her gaze was exceptionally focused. She had never seen the siblings choose clothes for each other before. However, she remembered that when her classmates talked about their brother, their tone was full of disdain and affection, but there was no such...What an ambiguous feeling...
After a long time, Li Rongrong could not walk anymore. She sat on the lounge chair and waited for Lu Zhuoyue. Anyway, she felt that there was no difference between men's clothing and women's clothing. If it wasn't for the fact that women's clothing had a skirt, she wouldn't feel any difference either. Just as she was feeling bored, she suddenly saw a woman dressed in a cleaner's uniform mopping the floor. Her back looked so haggard and thin, and she even looked a little familiar.
Li Rongrong hurriedly gave instructions to her bodyguard and quickly followed the woman. The woman appeared extremely tired, her hands trembling as she held the mop, almost stumbling several times. The person beside her spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Put more effort into it! Haven't you eaten? Did you clean the restroom? Move faster! This is a mall, not your home. If you don't want to work, then get lost!" The man's voice was full of anger.
The woman didn't dare to say a word and continued to mop the floor with even greater effort.
Li Rongrong hid in a corner, biting her lip tightly. She turned around and called the bodyguard over, giving him a few instructions. Soon, the bodyguard provided her with the information she wanted.
"She is a cleaner here and has been working for half a year. The supervisor said she is in financial difficulties and does any job available. Her home is in the seventh district, which is marked for demolition..."
The seventh district was a demolition site that was ready to be demolished, but because the price had not been agreed upon, it had been delayed. The houses there were old and dilapidated and could collapse at any time. Only some people who had no money secretly stayed there.
Li Yun'er was living there? Li Rongrong thought she had misheard! The last time she saw Li Miao'er, although she was thin and weak, her appearance was still decent. How could it come to this?
By now, Li Yun'er had finished mopping the floor. Her face looked worn out as if she might faint at any moment. She originally intended to go clean the restroom, but the man from earlier approached her impatiently. "You're so slow! I'll have someone else clean the restroom. You go rest first. We still have things to do tonight..."
Li Yun'er hesitated, unable to believe the man's words. She didn't have to do it?
