Chapter 191: Short of Money
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The latest text was from when they last talked about the staff training.
Lu Qingye opened the keyboard and pondered for a long ti. After deleting and changing his text countless tis, he could not co up with a complete sentence.
There was no noise in the huge living room.
ng Chuyuan and Lin Youjuan looked at each other for a long ti. They seed to be waiting for each other to speak.
After a while, Lin Youjuan finally couldn’t help but say, “Fortunately, 1 called in ti. If I had been any later, the little bastard might have fallen asleep.”
“…” She was really his biological mother. How could she bear to disturb her son’s rest so late at night?
Faced with Lin Youjuan’s angry countenance, the corners of ng Chuyuan’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing an awkward smile.
At this mont, ng Chuyuan’s phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
“Let’s see who’s looking for you.” Lin Youjuan sat closer towards her. She had heard the vibration just now and was curious if her phone call had worked.
Seeing Lin Youjuan’s expectant face, ng Chuyuan reached down and took out her phone from her pocket.
“Let see.” ng Chuyuan unlocked her phone and saw Lu Qingye’s WeChat ssage.
Lin Youjuan was a little anxious. She craned her neck and her gaze landed on ng Chuyuan’s phone screen. She happened to see Lu Qingye’s WeChat profile picture, but the ssages next to the red notification dot were blocked by ng Chuyuan’s hand.
“What did he say?”
ng Chuyuan opened the chatroom and looked down at the ssage in the chat box. She read it out calmly. “l used the scarf. It’s not bad. It’s quite warm.
Thank you.”
It was unknown if it was because ng Chuyuan read the ssage emotionlessly or because his words were not expressive enough, but after Lin Youiuan heard this. a trace of shock flashed across her eves. She asked in surprise, “That’s it?”
“That’s it.’
Lin Youjuan suddenly ca up and snatched ng Chuyuan’s phone away. “Let handle it.”
ng Chuyuan:
Thinking that Lin Youjuan wouldn’t say anything overboard, she let her be. After a while, Lin Youjuan finished typing a ssage and sent it out before returning the phone to her.
ng Chuyuan took back her phone and subconsciously looked down at the chat history. In the end, she realized that the ssage Lin Youjuan had just sent was: “That’s it? I knitted the scarf one thread at a ti and all I get is so comnts appraising the scarf and a thanks from you?”
Seeing that the other party was typing, ng Chuyuan raised her eyes slightly and turned her gaze towards the instigator of the matter.
Lin Youjuan looked composed and even slightly smugly said, “l imitated your style of speaking. He’s not going to be able to tell.”
This was indeed sothing she could say.
However, this scarf was not specially made for Lu Qingye. Seeing the ssage sent by Lin Youjuan, ng Chuyuan felt inexplicably guilty.
If she told Lu Qingye the truth now, what kind of story would it be?
Lu Qingye deliberated carefully on the other end of the phone before typing out a complete ssage: [That’s true. It’s my bad.]
After reading the short ssage, ng Chuyuan thought that this matter would end here and that there would be no follow-up.
In the end, less than a minute later, she received a large transfer from the bank. There was another 20 million yuan in her card.
When ng Chuyuan saw that the sender of the ssage was Lu Qingye, she returned to the WeChat chat page and slowly sent a question mark.
Lu Qingye: [I’ve thought about it carefully… I still don’t know what you need. Take this money and buy whatever you want.]
He had customized a silk scarf for her so ti ago. He would be able to go to the shop to get it in two days.
He wanted to wait until he returned to the country to tell her about it in person, so he transferred so money to her first.
This marriage had started at an inopportune ti. It was also caused by his negligence and lack of consideration.
ng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly. Her slender and fair fingers typed on the keyboard: [You already know what I need.]
Lu Qingye was confused. [?]
ng Chuyuan said frankly: [I’m short of money.]
“…” The man, who was leaning against the head of the bed, glanced at the latest text that popped up on his phone screen, and a faint coldness appeared in his deep eyes.
He knew ng Chuyuan’s personality very well. Whether it was her words or actions, she always exuded a sense of casualness.
She always said the truth without restraint.
Lu Qingye raised his eyes slightly and imitated her tone. [Are you still short of it?]
However, after he sent this ssage, ng Chuyuan did not reply for a long ti.
At this mont, Lin Youjuan had co up to ng Chuyuan to ask about the follow-up. The two of them started chatting, ignoring Lu Qingye, who was waiting to sleep late at night.
“How is it?” Lin Youjuan leaned over to take a look and saw Lu Qingye’s ssage. “Did he transfer the money to you?”
“Yeah.’
“How much did he transfer? If it’s less than tens of millions of yuan, he can send the scarf back.”
“Yes, it’s tens of millions.” Every ti Lu Qingye gave her money, it would start at tens of millions.
Lin Youjuan humd softly. “That’s more like it.”
ng Chuyuan did not expect Lin Youjuan to be so gossipy and good at extorting people.
By the ti ng Chuyuan rembered to reply, it was already half an hour later.
After reading Lu Qingye’s ssage, she felt that half an hour was enough for him to fall asleep, so she did not reply.
Little did she know that Lu Qingye was still waiting for her text and had yet to lie down on the bed.
Another ten minutes had passed. The phone screen had dimd countless of tis- with Lu Jinsen tapping on the phone screen each ti to light it up again. In the end, his patience was worn out.
Lu Qingye imdiately made a call.
ng Chuyuan had just returned to the bedroom to pack her luggage. She was going to film a variety show tomorrow. She had just unzipped his luggage when her phone rang.
She was forced to stop packing. She picked up the phone on the table and glanced at it.
Seeing the caller ID, ng Chuyuan was a little surprised. She raised her hand and swiped across the screen to answer the call.
ng Chuyuan held the phone between his cheek and shoulder. He pushed open the closet and asked, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
“Why didn’t you reply to my ssage?” Lu Qingye asked the question almost at the sa ti as her.
“What ssage?” She was busy packing her things and had long forgotten the contents of his last ssage. “I thought you were asleep, so I didn’t reply.” Then, a cold voice sounded from the other end. “I’m not asleep.”
“If I rember correctly, it’s almost one in the morning, right? Aren’t you sleepy?”
She rembered that Lu Qingye was supposed to sleep, but he was delayed by his mother’s call.
Lu Qingye: “I’m not sleepy.”
He had always been the one to take a while to reply. He had never waited for anyone else’s reply before. He did not expect the wait to be so torturous.
He couldn’t help but make a call.
ng Chuyuan humd softly and said calmly, “Because I didn’t reply to your ssage?”
This was the only thing she could think of at the mont. She blurted it out subconsciously.
“…” Lu Qingye’s heart skipped a beat.
Was it that obvious?
Before Lu Qingye could speak, ng Chuyuan picked up her phone and scrolled through the chat history..
