He threw all the unwillingness and anger that had accumulated in the bottom of his heart at Li He!
What right did a nouveau riche from the mainland have to step on his head!
Besides, how could a mainlander be so rich!
He was handsome, had good grades, and went to a famous university. Naturally, he was favored by the heavens. Plus, he was gentle and elegant, so he never lacked the affection of girls! He didn't even lack those rich young ladies who confessed to him!
What right did a girl from the countryside have to look down on him!
"How inferior do you have to be to say something like that?" Li He stopped and sneered, "Only people who have an inferiority complex emphasize self-esteem."
Some people complained about other people's disrespect to show their dignity; some people were armed with thorns, ready to fight back against hostility at any time to protect their dignity.
Self-esteem would manifest itself in countless forms, such as self-defense, self-pity, and arrogance.
In the end, it was proof of the fragility of the human heart.
Cheap self-esteem and coarse arrogance. No matter which junior it was, they all valued these things very much.
"Yesterday, Li Bing and I were still fine, but today, she's not warm to me! Do you dare to say that you didn't force her to break off relations with me? "Liu Baiwei was still angry!
Yesterday, the two of them were talking and laughing like a couple! It was nothing like this!
"Liu Baiwei, you're too much!" Four stood on his brother's side for no reason.
Li He felt a great sense of relief.
"The reason why you oppose me dating Li Bing is because you don't have money and power! Do you think that just because you have money, you think I'm not worthy of Li Bing? Do you think that money is everything? " Liu Baiwei saw that Li He didn't say anything, so he thought that Li He was weak, so he spoke with more confidence, "Do you think money can buy love? Do you think you can buy kinship with money? Do you think you can buy friendship with money? Do you think money can buy dreams, courage, dignity, and a future? Do you think money can trample on the law and do whatever you want? Do you think money can buy everything? "
Li He pondered for a while, then nodded seriously, "Yes, does it hurt to realize that now?"
If he didn't have money, at least his father wouldn't be so obedient right now.
"You!" Liu Baiwei didn't expect Li He to be so thick-skinned. "Money isn't everything!"
"Sigh, I thought you were going to say something earth-shattering." Li He lit a cigarette and said slowly with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I don't care if my sister is rich or not when she makes friends. Anyway, she's not as rich as I am. So you're saying that I look down on you because you have no money? That's not right. Do you understand what I mean? "
This confidence was actually very similar to that of Li Zhaokun, because when Li Zhaokun made friends, he never cared how poor the other party was. After all, they were not as poor as him.
"You have no culture at all! Nouveau riche! Vampires! You will never become a noble or a gentleman! "Liu Baiwei had completely lost his poise, and his whole body was trembling.
He didn't know what to do with Li He, so he turned to Four and said, "Have you forgotten the long and happy time we spent together? I really like you. Whether it's the unruly and willful you, the lively and cute you, or the pitiful you now, I like them all. Why don't you give me a chance! "
"That's enough, Liu Baiwei!" Four had goosebumps all over her body. Moreover, her brother and Ding Shiping were beside her, which made her even more ashamed! She didn't know where the gentle and elegant Liu Baiwei had gone. She sneered, "My brother is a famous physics professor in the country. The one who is really uncultured is you! Liu Baiwei! "
"You have to know that the ancestors of nobles are either nouveau riche or pirates." Li He suddenly remembered the cultural debate after China's economic success. China could produce a nouveau riche in a year, but it couldn't produce a nobleman in ten years. He really didn't like that kind of pretentious politeness. It was an era of great competition. Those who had the ability would go up, so there was no need to talk about nobility. Moreover, the whirlpool of public opinion had a double standard. If China really had nobles, they would definitely label China as feudal or autocratic. "Alright, let's go home, let's go home."
This guy was too addicted to Qiong Yao drama, so there was no need to be too calculative.
Li He was also overjoyed. This was the attitude he wanted from Four.
This time, Four didn't need Li He to push her. She took the lead and ran away.
"Bing Bing!" Liu Baiwei hurriedly chased after her. This time, Ding Shiping didn't need Li He's order. He kicked Liu Baiwei's knee.
"Ah!" Liu Baiwei knelt on the ground in pain. His face was full of pain. "Why! Why did you treat me like this! "
"There's something wrong with your brain." Li He looked at him disdainfully.
When they got home, the siblings had a tacit understanding. Neither of them said anything about it.
Li He called Ding Shiping, Wan Liangyou, and the others over for a drink. As for Shou Shan, he followed Old Man Lee out for a stroll.
Deep down, Shou Shan was more willing to be with Old Man Tang. The two chefs always had something in common. If they were together, they would spend 60% of their time in the kitchen. One was willing to chop the chopping board, while the other was willing to peel the green onions and prepare the vegetables. The remaining 40% of their time would be spent cursing the Japanese.
This was much more comfortable than being with Old Man Lee. He didn't understand those superficial things, and he didn't want to lower himself to cater to them. So, they could only make do as a pair of drinking buddies.
However, people of the same trade were enemies. There was no exception between chefs. Shou Shan's specialty was Beijing Cuisine, which was authentic and had a good appearance. On the other hand, Old Man Tang's specialty was Henan Cuisine, which absorbed a bit of Cantonese Cuisine.
At the same time, Old Man Tang's knife skills were also looked down upon. Old Man Tang said that Shou Shan couldn't even properly cook a large intestine. Either it wasn't cooked well, or it was cooked very well.
Neither of them was convinced of the other's superiority.
Five started to argue with her father the moment school ended. She followed Li Zhaokun wherever he went, as if she wouldn't stop until one of them died.
She kept muttering, "My money's gone! My money's gone! "
Li Zhaokun was annoyed. "Why are you following me when you don't have any money?"
Ding Shiping and the others saw the awkwardness and quickly went out for a stroll.
Li He covered his face with his hands. He didn't even need to think to know that it had something to do with his father!
He pulled Five back.
"How much money? I'll give you later."
While his mother was still in the kitchen, he had to cover his mouth first. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't be able to rest peacefully tonight.
Li Zhaokun was freed and ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Five stammered and finally insisted, "I'll ask Dad for it."
"How much money do you have?" Li He was also curious why Li Zhaokun would be interested in Five's pocket money. He had always been strict with Five's money. Five's dormitory, meals, and clothes were all prepared in advance. She didn't need to spend a single cent more. Usually, she would only be given three hundred and five hundred dollars as pocket money. Furthermore, Five was a spendthrift. Hence, he didn't believe that Five had a large amount of savings.
"Anyway, Dad took it away." Five insisted on not revealing how much money she had. She had her own plans. Second Brother Li's tyrannical attitude made her wary.
"Just take it." Li He emptied his pockets. It was only five to six hundred HKD.
"Humph!" Five took a handful of change. She didn't look happy at all. "I'll ask him for it!"
After Five went upstairs, Four secretly told Li He, "It's all from Brother Yu, Brother Shen, Grandma Yu, and Uncle Li. It's been accumulating for so many years."
All these years in Hong Kong, as long as it was a festival, both the Yu and Shen families would give the sisters red packets. Even Li Qiuhong was included. One person gave three thousand, another five thousand. Of course, the most generous one was Xiao Quan. She gave thirty to fifty thousand every time.
Li He glared at her. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
She was most afraid that Five and Li Zhaokun had money in their pockets.
He always gave as much as the rest of the family wanted.
Four could not help but roll his eyes. "Didn't you always know?"
Li He was speechless. He could only blame himself for being too careless. Every time someone gave Five a red packet, he didn't even count it.
"How much money did she save?"
"Ask yourself." Four decided not to betray Five.
It was not a good thing to be mentioned by Five. This girl had a long and lasting memory of hatred.
