The Imperial Hotel, as the number one hotel in Jianghai City, naturally has good business.
"Manxue, you, aren't you wasting this? It's just an ordinary birthday, how can you still..."
When Liu Xiaoli got out of the car and took a look, she immediately complained about her daughter.
She knew very well the recent financial situation of her family. If it weren't for her daughter Qin Manxue's strong support, Liu Xiaoli would have had to sell the family house to survive.
"Mom, don't talk about this. Let's go in. Don't keep your old friends waiting."
Qin Manxue also felt pain in her heart. Even for the most ordinary private room in the Imperial Hotel, a meal would cost nearly a thousand yuan for a private room, so she might not be able to get a reservation.
"Hey, what did you ask them to do?"
Liu Xiaoli looked sad. Although today was her birthday, she really didn't want to go in.
Since the accidents of her husband and son, their family's life cannot be said to have plummeted, but it is indeed difficult, especially their son Qin Yeming has become a first-level wanted criminal.
Liu Xiaoli could only rely on her daughter and son-in-law to gain face for herself, but little did she know that that piece of shit Zhang Mingyuan was secretly looking for her mistress, which made her so angry that she almost committed suicide. Now she is shamelessly making headlines, causing Liu Xiaoli to lose face.
How can Liu Xiaoli have the nerve to invite friends over for dinner?
"Manxue, why don't you forget it? Let's just find a place to have a bowl of longevity noodles."
The moment she stepped forward, Liu Xiaoli retreated.
She had always wanted to save face all her life, but now her life was unsatisfactory. Her husband was gone, her son was gone, and her son-in-law was gone. Only mother and daughter were left, and their life was hard to describe.
"Mom, what are you afraid of?"
Qin Manxue held her mother's arm and said, "Aunt Wang and Aunt Li are your good friends and besties. They have dated you several times. Taking advantage of your birthday this time, invite them both over to make it fun for you.
.”
Qin Manxue was also afraid that her mother would be depressed, so she had a friend and best friend to chat with and say some thoughtful words.
"Okay then."
Unable to push away, Liu Xiaoli could only enter the private room with Qin Manxue.
In the private room, there were two middle-aged women dressed in jewelry and gold and silver. One was carrying a Prada and the other was carrying a Louis Vuitton. Compared with these two people, Liu Xiaoli looked rustic and lost her former style.
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Oh, Tingqiu, you two are finally here. Is there a traffic jam on the subway too?"
Wang Yaping looked confused. The moment she turned her head, the corner of her mouth curled up with a hint of ridicule.
"Stop talking nonsense and serve the food quickly. We have an appointment for a night of mahjong later." Li Yinhua touched the dove egg-sized gem in his hand and sighed, "Hey, my son has grown up now and can earn money to support the family.
My husband has just become a manager, and he has a commission of more than 100,000 yuan a month. If he doesn’t play mahjong, he can’t spend it all.”
"hehe."
Liu Xiaoli felt resentful in her heart, but she was extremely helpless.
Back then, no matter whether it was Wang Yaping or Li Yinhua, they were inferior to her own family, but now... isn't this just showing off? Tonight, Liu Xiaoli chose to be patient.
"You two are living a good life now. You will retire in two years."
Liu Xiaoli forced a smile and sat down.
"That is, I will retire in January next year."
Wang Yaping took over the conversation, "Oh, I have already discussed it with my husband. As soon as we retire next year, we will take our family's wealth and buy an RV to travel around the country and make our home all over the world."
"I really envy you. You can still travel across the country with your husband, but I can't. My husband is such a hard-working man. He is earning a salary of more than 100,000 yuan a month and still has to open a teahouse outside. I will retire.
I can’t go anywhere in the end, so I can only help guard the family business.”
Li Yinhua played with the emerald on his finger, "Actually, what's the use of earning so much money? Just spend enough. Hey, playing mahjong every day is so boring."
Very high-end Versailles.
"By the way, Xiaoli, after you resigned from the bank, we sisters have missed you very much. How have you been recently?"
Li Yinhua changed the topic and turned his attention to Liu Xiaoli.
"I……"
Liu Xiaoli's face looked extremely unnatural and turned pale instantly.
"Aren't you the one who doesn't want to open the pot?"
Wang Yaping pretended to be angry and glared at Li Yinhua, "Xiaoli was fired from the bank for stealing other people's finances. If it weren't for the face of our leader, she would probably have to go to jail."
"Whoosh!"
Liu Xiaoli's face became even more ugly. She lowered her head and looked around for cracks in the ground.
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, don't mention the past."
Qin Manxue frowned, she could smell the sarcasm.
These two people didn't really come to celebrate my mother's birthday at all. They came to cause trouble. They came here specially to rub salt into my mother's wounds.
"Manxue, don't worry about it. Didn't we end up chatting in a hurry?"
Wang Yaping suppressed her smile and said again: "By the way, Xiaoli, what are you busy with now? Our sisters have invited you to go shopping several times, but you haven't come. Where can you make a fortune?"
"I, I work as an accountant in a small business now, how can I have time to go shopping?"
Liu Xiaoli smiled with her face. She knew that these two people were mocking her, but she had no right to get angry, nor did she have the confidence to get angry at these two people.
When I left, I remembered that back then, Liu Xiaoli was still the team leader and immediate boss of these two people, but now, haha.
"Manxue, let the waiter serve the food. Don't starve your Aunt Wang and Aunt Li." Liu Xiaoli didn't want to talk about these nonsense. She just wanted to work down-to-earth and guard her daughter with peace of mind. She had no intention of going over and following her.
People’s mentality of comparison.
Furthermore, does she still have the confidence to compete?
"No, that's not the case. Being an accountant in a small business, isn't this a derogation of one's talents?"
Li Yinhua pretended to be surprised and said: "By the way, Xiaoli, I heard you say before that your husband works in the company, your son has graduated from graduate school, and your son-in-law is even more incredible. He is also the chairman of some company, and he has a Mercedes-Benz G G when he comes in and out.
Pick up and drop off, do you still need to go to work?"
"Are you going to experience life? Are you just trying to tease us?"
"No."
Liu Xiaoli's mouth twitched with anger, but she quickly convinced herself and suppressed her anger.
"Something happened between my husband and my son, and my daughter also broke up with her boyfriend. I can't do it without working." Liu Xiaoli simply made her words clear, saving the two of them from racking their brains to ridicule themselves.
"Oh, really? Something happened? What happened?"
Wang Yaping looked shocked and said: "Do you need help from our sisters? Although my husband does not earn as much as Yinhua's husband, my son is very capable. Now he has become a manager and knows many people."
"I, my son..."
Liu Xiaoli couldn't answer easily.
"My brother has nothing to do and has killed several people. He is now a wanted criminal at the national level. Aunt Wang, could you please help solve the problem? What do you think?"
Qin Manxue really couldn't bear to listen and shouted back.
