Li Qingyan lowered her eyes lightly: "..."

Although she had already guessed such an ending, she still couldn't help feeling hopeful, she was stupid enough.

It's long past time to have any extravagant hopes, and there's no point in arguing any more.

"Father, don't talk about my sister, it's really my fault this time." Zhang Ruoting wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and grasped the corner of his clothes pitifully, "Besides, when my sister comes back this time, shouldn't we ask her to do something? "

Li Jianrong coughed lightly when he heard the words, looked at Li Qingyan and said, "Xiaoyan! I remember that before you went to study in the UK, you were a hotel management major at the University of Surrey, and you know something about cakes, right?"

Hearing these words, Li Qingyan only felt ironic.

It turned out that my father really knew very little about himself!

She was also a professional high-achieving student in college back then, and she had her own unique design for fondant cakes, because she was well-known abroad and had a lot of customized cakes.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to earn that much money to buy a watch.

If it wasn't for Xue Huaikang, she wouldn't want to go back to China to develop, but it's a pity that she really paid the wrong price.

However, my father knew nothing about this.

"Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?" Li Qingyan said in a deep voice, and glanced sharply at Li Jianrong.

That look seemed to be able to see through him.

Li Jianrong shifted his gaze inexplicably with guilt, "It's actually like this. Your sister is about to open a cake shop and needs your help. This is also considered a sister joint shop. What do you think?"

"To jointly open a store, how much share do I own? If I make a profit, can I share it equally with her?" Li Qingyan asked rationally and calmly.

"How is this possible!" Li Jianrong said without hesitation, "After all, this is your sister's own shop, so how can you take advantage of her!"

Li Qingyan smiled sarcastically, and said coldly, "On her own? Don't tell me you didn't invest in her?"

Before Li Jianrong could speak, Zhang Ruoting's eyes were red, and she said sadly: "Sister, why don't you believe in my ability... This time I opened the store, really relying on my own strength..."

"Okay, don't put on an air in front of me, I won't do that." Li Qingyan looked away annoyed.

Even if her father didn't make a move, would her stepmother help her?Perhaps... Xue Huaikang is also responsible for this, but she is the only one who was foolishly kept in the dark.

"Is this your attitude towards your sister?" Li Jianrong frowned unhappily, "Letting you come back to help with chores is also a way out for you. You don't know what it's like to be in a foreign country for these years, and you haven't noticed your family yet. kind of you?"

"Family... only she is your daughter, I am not worthy." Leaving behind this disappointing words, Li Qingyan turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, an elegant lady came over, and she was surprised when she saw Li Qingyan: "Qingyan, you're back! Why didn't you tell Auntie about what happened, I still want to go to the airport to pick you up in person Well, long time no see, your child has lost a lot of weight!"

Stepmother Zhang Yilan came over and grabbed her hand affectionately, with a kind smile on her face.

The moment she saw her, Li Qingyan felt a little complicated.

Although this woman was her stepmother, she had been entangled with her father back then, but since entering the house, she never did anything bad to her.

Even in the past few years, he occasionally gave her some care, gave her gifts on New Years and holidays, gave her red envelopes and new clothes, and never treated her badly in life.

So she couldn't turn a blind eye to this woman with a cold face.

"What's the matter? Come and sit down! Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time, please chat with me!" Zhang Yilan said, pulling her to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then looked at her husband and daughter beside her, "You still Why are you staring blankly, it's rare for a family to get together, let's sit down and talk about homework..."

In front of Zhang Yilan, the father and daughter were quite obedient. Hearing this, they all sat down without saying anything.

Only then did Zhang Yilan smile in satisfaction, and then she pretended to mention it casually, "By the way, Qingyan, I have good news for you. Our family Tingting has prepared a cake shop to open this year, but because she is a fledgling, she is not as good as you are abroad." You have experience, and there is a shortage of manpower in the store, so Auntie wants you to help out in her store, with your ability, you can definitely do it, do you think you can?"

Her attitude was sincere, and her tone was pleading cautiously, making it impossible to find fault for a while.

Li Qingyan pursed her lips, but soon realized that she might be infected with the virus. If she made cakes again, she might infect others.

So she said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I have other arrangements."

"You just came back, what arrangements can you make? Working in your own store will make your father feel more at ease." Zhang Yilan persuaded, "Auntie will also go to the store often, so that I can see you two sisters."

Li Qingyan shook her head: "I really... have other reasons, so I can't help..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yilan continued to persuade: "Oh, why are you so stubborn? Is it because you are afraid that Tingting will treat you badly? Don't worry, I will discipline her well. I have never begged you in these years What, really please this time, just this time, okay?"

Li Qingyan sternly refused: "Only not this time."

Seeing that the persuasion was futile no matter what, Zhang Yilan changed her face on the spot, she frowned and gave her husband a wink.

Li Jianrong immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "You unfilial daughter, I have eaten delicious food and drink for you to enjoy yourself outside all these years, but you are fine, I am not happy to ask you to do a little favor now, if you still recognize me as a father, Just go to work immediately tomorrow, otherwise I will treat you as if I never gave birth to you."

"I'm free and easy?" Li Qingyan raised her eyes coldly, "Then Dad, I want to ask you, do you know that I'm dating Xue Huaikang? But now Zhang Ruoting stole my boyfriend!"

Li Jianrong's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he said with a serious face: "So what? The Xue family wants Tingting to abandon you, why don't you find the reason from yourself."

Li Qingyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, she stood up abruptly, and said sharply, "Why did they not want me, but chose an illegitimate daughter? It's not because you don't care about me and indulge Zhang Ruoting."

"Do you really think that the Xue family has their eyes on Zhang Ruoting? She is not as good-looking as I am, and she is not as smart as I am. She only relies on the means of seducing men to get to the top. Such a woman... What are they looking for? It's nothing more than her now. status."

"Once the Li family is down and out, their Xue family won't even look at her. What they value is only the immediate interests."
