Chi Qingyao was left speechless by Chi Qingya’s words.
She couldn’t imagine what kind of person could endure such a situation.
But then she thought about it—there really were plenty of people like that.
After all, in their village, there were still people willingly putting up with domestic abuse while earning money to pay off their gambling husband’s debts.
But to have such a strong will at their age… Chi Qingyao grew even more curious about Su Li.
There was no doubt that Su Li had a kind of personal charm.
Otherwise, how could Cute Yuyu Roll still be so fixated on her?
And her own sister could never let go of Su Li either.
“Yao Yao, what should I do?”
Chi Qingya looked nervously at Chi Qingyao.
“If you two had met a few years earlier, an apology might have worked.”
“But we’re all adults now.”
“The way things have developed nowadays is very different from before.”
“The kind of solid friendships from the past are hard to find now.”
“Even in anime, two friends eventually make up.”
“That’s because you don’t see what happens later. They might not stay together forever. Someday, they’ll probably drift apart.”
As Chi Qingyao lectured, Chi Qingya lowered her head again.
Just then, the auntie cleaner finished cleaning the room, looking exhausted.
She glanced at the two young women about the same age as her own kids, then shook her head.
“It’s all clean. If you need me again next time, just call.”
Jobs like this were tiring, but they paid well.
A bit of hard work now could earn as much as several regular jobs.
With that, she asked Chi Qingyao to inspect the room.
After the cleaner left, Chi Qingyao fell back into thought.
Reconciling two people who had drifted apart— it wasn’t that hard, but it wasn’t easy either.
It mainly depended on both sides being willing to make up.
Some people were easy to talk to; an apology might settle things.
Others weren’t like that. Once things fell apart, they saw no need to keep in touch.
She had a feeling Su Li was that kind of person.
No matter what Chi Qingya did, she wouldn’t be able to hold on.
“Does Su Li like anything?”
Chi Qingyao asked.
Chi Qingya fell silent.
She’d actually thought about this before.
But she couldn’t remember.
Now her little sister was asking, and she tried to recall, but still couldn’t figure out what Su Li liked.
Seeing Chi Qingya’s expression, Chi Qingyao fell silent.
“Sis, you lived with Su Li for so long, and you don’t know what she likes?”
“Cat.”
At her sister’s question, Chi Qingya hesitated for a moment before finally coming up with an answer.
Su Li liked cats.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fed the stray cats.
And a few of the strays downstairs had disappeared; she guessed Su Li had taken them in.
Seeing her sister’s certainty, Chi Qingyao wasn’t sure if it was true or not.
Or if it was even useful.
“If she likes cats, you still need to find out what breed Su Li prefers.”
“But giving her a cat feels kind of weird.”
“Especially since Su Li already moved out and lives alone. If she wanted a cat, she’d get one herself.”
“Suddenly giving her a cat out of nowhere would mess up her plans.”
“Though she might soften and take it in anyway.”
Chi Qingyao thought hard, but she couldn’t come up with anything.
Su Li probably didn’t like playing games either.
Only someone as brainless as Cute Yuyu Roll would think Su Li played games just to hang out with her.
Every time they played with Su Li, someone would surrender at six minutes.
If before she thought the person surrendering was fed up with their teammates.
But after that, the one surrendering was always Su Li!
It couldn’t be that every single game someone was in a hurry to surrender.
But Su Li being in a hurry to surrender every time? That was possible.
So Su Li’s real goal was to make money.
If everything was for money, then it made sense.
Then Su Li probably liked money.
But if Su Li liked money, why did she transfer fifty thousand yuan to her sister before leaving?
She also liked money.
If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t do something so stupid.
Could it be that Su Li didn’t want to owe her sister anything?
But she had already done so much for her sister while they were together.
She didn’t owe her sister anything either.
Chi Qingyao couldn’t figure it out.
She didn’t understand Su Li’s situation at all.
“Yao Yao.”
Chi Qingya suddenly tugged at Chi Qingyao’s sleeve, looking nervous.
“I… I want to use your account to play games with Su Li. Is that okay?”
She said tensely.
“Sure.”
Chi Qingyao agreed without hesitation.
“But if you use my account, you have to pay me a rental fee.”
“And also, you need to pay a friend fee.”
“After all, Su Li is my friend now.”
Chi Qingyao said very seriously.
Hehe.
She wasn’t going to miss a chance to make money off her big sister.
More importantly, if she didn’t find a way to squeeze more money out of her sister, her sister would probably spend it on someone else.
She wouldn’t let that happen again!
“Okay.”
Without much hesitation, Chi Qingya agreed to Chi Qingyao’s request.
She couldn’t add Su Li as a friend right now.
Her sister’s account might be her only way.
But Chi Qingya was worried.
Even using her sister’s account to send a friend request, Su Li might not accept.
“Yao Yao, can you get through to Su Li?”
“No problem.”
Seeing the two hundred yuan come in, Chi Qingyao agreed without thinking much.
Even if Su Li cut her off afterward, it didn’t matter.
She wasn’t close to Su Li anyway.
Though she was curious about her.
“Sis, you’d better make sure Su Li doesn’t recognize your voice.”
“Why?”
“If you want to play with her for a long time, that’s the only way. Unless you two have a really good relationship— good enough that you think she can forgive you, then you can reveal your identity.”
“But wouldn’t that be deceiving her?”
“If you don’t deceive her, you won’t even have a chance to get close. Let alone patch things up.”
Chi Qingya fell silent.
Being able to…
Being able to play games with Su Li was enough.
She didn’t care about anything else.
Chi Qingya thought of the Yao protecting Ma Chao, and her heart swelled with anticipation.
