"What do you an by that?"
As expected, upon hearing Lv Hui’s words, Jiang Xinyi couldn’t help but frown slightly, sowhat puzzled.
At this mont, however, Lv Hui pretended as if she had misspoken, quickly covering her mouth, "No, no, I misspoke."
Lv Hui’s performance was very obvious, but Jiang Xinyi’s concern wasn’t about that at all; she kept asking Lv Hui what she ant.
Seeing that she couldn’t keep it hidden, Lv Hui sighed and ca clean, admitting everyone had intended to keep it from her.
"Actually, you can’t bla your boyfriend. He was trying to look out for you. Even though it’s a bit less money, it’s still a kind gesture."
Lv Hui’s explanation was vague, and after a long ti, Jiang Xinyi still couldn’t figure out the point, so she had to ask Lv Hui what she really ant.
So, Lv Hui said, "I’m currently making a thousand bucks a month, and you make fifteen hundred a month. You don’t really think it’s because of your Master’s degree, do you?
"It’s simple, really. Your boyfriend felt that a salary of a thousand bucks didn’t suit your Master’s degree, so he added an extra five hundred."
After Lv Hui finished speaking, Jiang Xinyi was completely stunned. Discover exclusive content at .Côm
She had long noticed her salary was higher than Lv Hui’s, but who would have thought it was like this?
How could he be so...
Silly...
Jiang Xinyi was struggling to accept it at the mont, and Lv Hui, seeing Jiang Xinyi’s expression, felt very pleased. After all, this young lady from a wealthy family was usually too carefree, and it was quite unsatisfying to watch.
Oh, I fret over every single cent every day, trying my hardest to please the boss, and yet here you are, living like you’re on vacation.
Why should you, of all people? You must be made to feel a bit uncomfortable too.
You have a Master’s degree, don’t you? I’ll tell you about it, and I don’t believe you’ll have the nerve to stay here anymore.
Indeed, after finding out about this, Jiang Xinyi beca absent-minded all day long.
Sotis You Changjin would ssage her at noon, asking what she was up to and if she was tired.
Today, You Changjin said their class was organizing a movie in the afternoon.
He asked Jiang Xinyi if she wanted to co and watch with them.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xinyi, figuring she had nothing much to do in the afternoon, would probably go.
However, thinking about what You Changjin had done today, she was sowhat speechless. She really couldn’t understand his way of thinking.
So she replied, "I have to work this afternoon, I’m afraid I don’t have the ti."
You Changjin, feeling disappointed, replied, "This Zhou Yuwen really doesn’t know how to show respect. He knows you’re my girlfriend, yet he still assigns you so much work. I need to have a good talk with him."
After this ssage was sent, Jiang Xinyi didn’t reply.
At this point, her feelings were in turmoil.
In the afternoon, after finishing her work, she hesitated for a long ti before calling her mother.
Seeing it was her daughter calling, her mother was delighted and answered, "Nannan, what made you think to call Mom? Have you changed your mind?"
"Transfer ten thousand yuan," Jiang Xinyi said bluntly.
Jiang’s mother was upset upon hearing this. A week without a call, and when she does call, it’s for money?
Do you take your mom for an ATM?
Jiang Xinyi felt helpless, but after all, it was her mother, so her tone softened quite a bit as she said, "I really need ten thousand. It’s urgent."
"I can give you the money, but you have to co and get it. It’s been almost two weeks since you’ve been ho. If you don’t co back soon, Mimi will forget she has a sister," her mother said with a tough exterior but a soft heart, as there’s no difference within a family.
Honestly, Jiang’s mother didn’t have a high opinion of You Changjin, but if Jiang Xinyi were firm, her mother might relent.
Just when Jiang’s mother was about to relent,
It was Jiang Xinyi who showed weakness.
To get the money, Jiang Xinyi had to swallow her pride and return ho, miserable as ever.
Jiang Xinyi’s ho was a small western-style villa near Xuanwu Lake. When she arrived ho, a designated servant opened the door for her. Jiang Xinyi’s father was rarely ho.
Aside from managing business affairs, her mother spent ti having afternoon tea with her grandmother.
At over seventy, Jiang Xinyi’s grandmother was still sharp, although her hearing would sotis fail. Lately, the most frequent question was, "Where has my little Nannan gone?"
Jiang’s mother told her own mother that Nannan was busy with work and staying outside.
The old lady, appearing confused yet astute, gave her daughter a look and said, "No matter how busy, how can she not co back ho?
"It must be you, bullying my granddaughter~"
"It’s your granddaughter who is bullying !"
Jiang’s mother was unwilling to be outdone in an argunt, and the mother-daughter pair had been bickering like this for nearly forty years.
Wearing a simple dress paired with a black cardigan, Jiang Xinyi arrived ho and saw her mother and grandmother having tea in the yard. Without a word, she ran over and hugged her grandmother, saying, "Grandma, I’ve missed you so much~"
"Oh my, my little Nannan is back!"
The seventy-year-old was delighted, and the grandmother and granddaughter chatted for a while. anwhile, Jiang’s mother maintained her dignity, remarking, "So you know to co ho?"
Jiang Xinyi was displeased with her mother’s attitude. After all, there were no outsiders in the house, so for whom was she putting on this front?
But with her grandmother there, she didn’t defy her mother.
It wasn’t until they were alone in the study that Jiang Xinyi reverted to her nonchalant deanor, saying, "I’m back, now give the ten thousand, will you?"
Jiang’s mother retorted, "Do I owe you?"
"You have to tell what it’s for, don’t you?"
Jiang Xinyi sighed but ultimately recounted the whole situation.
