The Lucky Star Blessing the Whole Village - Chapter 435
Chapter 435: Chapter 422:
Ultimately, under Liang Shanshan’s threat, Li Jiatong had to agree to let Xiao Jinli return to the village after having lunch in the county town.
“Going to a restaurant for lunch?” Xiao Jinli asked with confusion, “It’s still early. If we drive back now, there will still be food in the cafeteria. Besides, the cafeteria serves food twenty-four hours a day. Why would we go somewhere else to eat? I’m not used to eating food outside our cafeteria.”
Li Jiatong, holding her arm and smiling, said, “Sister Jinli, I actually want to buy a few more clothes. How about we come back and take a walk in the afternoon? If we go back now, it would take two or three hours back and forth, which is a waste of time. Let’s go to the hotel for lunch first, and then we can have an hourly rental room after lunch to rest for a while before continuing shopping. We can shop at the mall and also visit other places.”
Xiao Jinli thought for a moment and said, “Since you still want to shop, what can I do? I’ll just accompany you. Alright, let’s go. I’m quite familiar with this place. I know a few people who run restaurants nearby, their food tastes not bad, let’s go there to eat.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Shanshan immediately said, “Well, a friend of mine heard that we were going shopping, so he has already booked a restaurant. We can just go there directly.”
However, Xiao Jinli looked at her suspiciously, “You, a person from the Capital City, have friends here?”
Liang Shanshan smiled, “Yes, we have friends from all corners of the world. Let’s go eat at his place.”
Li Jiatong turned her eyes and said, “Sister Jinli, since Sister Shanshan’s friend has already reserved a restaurant, let’s not bother to find a place to eat. Let’s just follow Sister Shanshan.”
Xiao Jinli remained suspicious and asked, “Are you familiar with this county town? Tell me, where is the restaurant your friend booked? I’ll take you there.”
Liang Shanshan, “…” She wasn’t familiar with the area.
Liang Shanshan said, “Let me call and ask!”
After a while, she said, “It’s on Jiefang East Road, Jinxiu Restaurant!”
Xiao Jinli nodded, “I know the place, let’s get in the car!”
It took about ten minutes to drive from Jiefang East Road to Yongle Mall, but the only problem was finding a parking space!
“I see it, Jinxiu Restaurant! Is that it?” Li Jiatong pointed to a place.
The three of them arrived at Jinxiu Restaurant, where Liang Qiming was waiting at the entrance!
Seeing the three of them, Liang Qiming happily said, “You’re here so quickly, let’s go inside the private room, it’s too hot outside!”
Xiao Jinli was puzzled to see Liang Qiming there. “Liang Qiming, what are you doing here?”
She then realized and looked at Liang Shanshan, asking, “So the friend you mentioned is him?”
Liang Shanshan nodded, “Yes, it’s him!”
After calling “Big Brother Liang”, Li Jiatong said to Xiao Jinli, “Sister Jinli, Sister Shanshan and Big Brother Liang are siblings!”
Xiao Jinli was slightly surprised, “Siblings?”
Frowning, she looked at Li Jiatong somewhat accusingly and said, “Tongtong, why didn’t you tell me they were siblings?”
“…” Li Jiatong said, “I didn’t see them together, so I didn’t introduce them!”
Liang Qiming said, “I came to Xiao Family Village on vacation with my sister. I heard from her this morning that you were going shopping, and I happened to be in the county town, so I thought I’d treat you to a meal!”
Xiao Jinli coldly refused, “No need, we’re not that close!”
Liang Qiming was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile with some helplessness, “Xiao Jinli, don’t be like this. I don’t have any ill intentions towards you! I genuinely want to be friends with you! If I was rude before, I apologize and hope you can forgive me!”
While saying this, he gave Li Jiatong a meaningful glance!
Li Jiatong understood immediately!
