Aunt Zhou didn't understand Zhou Qianqian's thoughts.
Hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Zhou Qianqian felt extremely aggrieved. Afraid that her loud voice would be heard by others, she tried to lower her voice.
"It wasn't me who invited her. She came here shamelessly on her own!"
Seeing her daughter's eyes turning red with grievance, Aunt Zhou immediately pulled her daughter into the room. With a worried and serious look on her face, she asked her daughter to explain everything clearly.
Zhou Qianqian told her mother all about how Qian Lili had bullied her at school. As she was talking, she couldn't help shedding tears.
Aunt Zhou never thought that she had been nice to the person who had bullied her daughter just now. For a moment, she felt extremely remorseful and wished she could slap herself.
"Qianqian, I'm sorry. Mom didn't know. Mom has neglected you..."
Aunt Zhou hugged Zhou Qianqian into her arms with red - rimmed eyes, feeling that she was an unqualified mother.
Zhou Qianqian forced a bitter smile and shook her head. She hugged Aunt Zhou tightly and comforted her.
"Mom, it's not your fault. I didn't explain it clearly to you. You just don't be nice to her."
"Okay, I got it."
Aunt Zhou nodded firmly. In her heart, she vowed to teach Qian Lili a lesson for her daughter.
Qian Lili carried the fruit platter back to the room she shared with Yu Wenwen.
Yu Wenwen was making the bed. When she saw the fresh fruits on the platter, she was extremely greedy. She put down the quilt cover she was shaking out and ran up to Qian Lili, wanting to grab a piece of fruit.
"This was prepared by Zhou Qianqian's mom, right? It looks so delicious."
Yu Wenwen reached out her hand to grab the fruit fork, but Qian Lili dodged and didn't even let Yu Wenwen touch it. She kept saying,
"You haven't finished making my bed yet. You can eat after you're done."
Yu Wenwen was stunned when she heard this. The anger of being forced to do the work welled up again, and her hand froze in mid - air, feeling extremely embarrassed.
This Qian Lili really treated her like a maid!
The fruit platter wasn't prepared by her. Why should she listen to Qian Lili!
"Since you're done using the toilet, make your own bed." Yu Wenwen snorted, trying to gain some ground.
Hearing this, Qian Lili laughed mockingly. She picked up a mangosteen with a fork and ate it, closing her eyes enjoyably. Yu Wenwen watched, swallowing her saliva greedily.
"You should know that I have several elder brothers outside of school. If you don't want them to follow you to and from school, then go and make my bed obediently."
As she said this, Qian Lili's tone suddenly became forceful, but the smile on her face became even more brilliant and evil, making Yu Wenwen, who was greedy for the fruit, shiver.
Yu Wenwen didn't expect Qian Lili to threaten her directly. She stared at Qian Lili with wide eyes.
Qian Lili directly waved the fork as if she was going to stab Yu Wenwen's eyes. A cold wind blew in her face.
Yu Wenwen screamed in fear and covered her face, hiding behind the bed.
"You're a crazy person!"
Yu Wenwen shouted angrily at Qian Lili.
She didn't have much contact with Qian Lili in class before. She only heard about how Qian Lili bullied others.
But after experiencing it herself, Yu Wenwen felt that Qian Lili was a devil.
"If you know I'm crazy, don't provoke me. Make my bed and put the toiletries in the bathroom."
Seeing Yu Wenwen scurrying away in fear, Qian Lili couldn't help laughing out loud. She proudly carried the fruit platter and walked out of the room.
Aunt Zhou and Zhou Qianqian had gone to the class monitor Li Jiayi's room to deliver the fruit platter, so Qian Lili took the opportunity to sneak up to the second floor.
She wanted to find evidence on the floor where Zhou Qianqian lived to expose Zhou Qianqian's lies.
Qian Lili looked around the second - floor corridor and saw that there were no cameras. Then she swaggered into the rooms one by one to search.
Aunt Zhou lived on the first floor. On the second floor, besides Zhou Qianqian and Qin Hongying, there were also the bedrooms of Xu Qingqing's family.
Qian Lili opened the first room and found toys for children such as dolls on the two beds. Disappointed, she closed the door and opened the second room.
This was Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai's room. The room was clean and tidy. The open suitcase was lying on the ground, and the clothes were neatly folded.
Seeing the suitcase, Qian Lili walked straight into the room and closed the door. She wanted to find out if there was a suitcase that Zhou Qianqian had borrowed to live here.
Qian Lili casually put the fruit platter on the bedside table and then walked over to look at the women's clothes in the suitcase.
Most of them were flowery dresses and other clothes, all of well - known brands, and the sizes didn't match Qian Lili's.
Under the women's clothes were men's clothes, such as T - shirts and shorts, emitting a faint smell of cedar.
Seeing that these clothes weren't Zhou Qianqian's, Qian Lili thought to herself. Could there be other people staying in this villa besides them?
Thinking of this, Qian Lili casually threw the clothes in her hand back into the suitcase.
She looked around the room and was about to leave. But when her eyes fell on the table near the balcony door, she couldn't take them away.
Because she saw a beautiful hairpin on the table. Although the part of the hairpin looked rusty, the beaded flowers on it were extremely gorgeous. Especially the silver bell connected to the silver chain, with the patterns made of iron wire looking very vivid and beautiful.
Qian Lili was immediately attracted. She walked to the table and picked up the hairpin. The bright and dazzling sunlight came in through the window of the balcony door and shone on the hairpin.
The shadow of the silver bell was reflected on the white wall, and a graceful young lady seemed to appear vividly.
"Wow!"
Only then did Qian Lili find that the shadow of the silver bell had a unique charm. She happily turned the silver bell, and the shadow transformed into a polite scholar.
"It's so beautiful!"
Qian Lili couldn't put down this well - crafted hairpin. A bad idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
Anyway, no one saw her enter this room. Even if she secretly took this hairpin away, no one would find out.
After she got home, she would find someone to polish the end of the hairpin and remove all the mottled rust on it.
Then the style of this hairpin would be better than 80% of the antique - style hairpins on the market.
Qian Lili seemed to have already seen herself wearing this beautiful hairpin and showing off to her brothers and sisters.
A naughty smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She put the hairpin in her pocket, then picked up the fruit platter and quietly pulled the door open a crack.
Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Qian Lili swaggered away with the hairpin.
Qian Lili still wanted to rummage through other rooms. Qin Hongying, who felt thirsty, came out of her room and wanted to go downstairs to drink water. She happened to bump into Qian Lili wandering in the second - floor corridor.
"What are you doing here?"
"I... I'm just taking a stroll."
Qian Lili made up an excuse casually. Seeing Qin Hongying with a straight face, her eyes rolled quickly. Then she smiled and began to flatter Qin Hongying.
"Auntie, you look so young. I've never been able to guess your real age. Are you only 20 years old?"
Qin Hongying, whose children were about to get married, heard Qian Lili's praise. The corners of her mouth, which had been drooping, rose a little.
