Wen Yun’s side profile was very beautiful, her long eyelashes fanned out, and she spoke in a gentle voice.
"Do you feel better now?"
Wen Yun focused on massaging ng Yanzhi, completely unaware that ng Yanzhi had been staring at her. She said, "For your condition, you should get more massages. Of course, the technique is also very important. Pay more attention daily, and gradually, the pain will lessen."
"Mm."
ng Yanzhi responded, his voice nasally, and said, "Thank you."
"No need to thank . It’s getting late, you should go to bed early."
Seeing that he was no longer in pain, Wen Yun got up and went back to her room. Massaging requires a lot of strength, so Wen Yun, feeling tired, fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The next morning, when Wen Yun got up, ng Yanzhi was already gone. However, on the dining table, there was a steaming breakfast: porridge, buns, fried dough sticks, and pancakes!
"Such a waste!"
Wen Yun looked at the breakfast, thinking to herself, could she finish it all by herself?
If she couldn’t finish it, wouldn’t it be wasted?
Determined not to waste food, Wen Yun stuffed herself and slowly burped her way to the hospital.
"Wen Yun, your sister is here to see you."
Her colleague’s words stunned Wen Yun for a mont before she realized it was her cousin, Wen Jiao.
"You finally ca."
Wen Jiao, with a look of disdain, covered her nose as she walked out of the office, saying, "It’s so hard to find you. Is your phone out of battery again?"
Wen Yun took out her phone, and sure enough, it was dead.
"Can’t you replace that old phone?" Wen Jiao looked at Wen Yun’s phone with disdain; it was still the newly released model.
"What’s up?" Wen Yun inquired.
Wen Jiao started walking outside, saying, "Let’s talk outside."
Feeling helpless, Wen Yun explained to her colleagues and then quickly caught up with Wen Jiao. They walked to a small garden in the back before Wen Jiao said, "Aren’t you married into the ng Family? Doesn’t the ng Family give you money to spend?"
Wen Jiao scrutinized Wen Yun, noticing her clothes hadn’t changed from before, and even her outdated phone hadn’t been replaced.
Phones were changing rapidly, from the original large ones, to smaller models, to basic blue-screen phones, and now to color-screen phones. The phone in her hand was the latest color-screen model she had switched to.
Wen Yun pressed her lips together, not answering Wen Jiao’s question, instead saying, "Wen Jiao, if you have sothing to say, just say it. I still have to work, and I have rounds to do later."
This was why she ca early; if she had co late, she wouldn’t have had the chance to follow Wen Jiao out.
"Lend a hundred thousand yuan."
Wen Jiao’s words almost made Wen Yun’s eyes pop out. She shook her head and said, "Wen Jiao, do I look like a rich person to you?"
A hundred thousand?
That’s too much, even ten thousand would be hard for her.
"The ng Family is rich," Wen Jiao said without hesitation. "I recently have my eye on a bag, and I’m preparing to open a store with a friend, but we don’t have enough money. Can you lend so?"
Wen Yun refused, "I don’t have any."
"The ng Family has money, but it’s not my money," Wen Yun added.
It’s not just that she and ng Yanzhi have a contract marriage even if they were a genuine couple, ng Yanzhi’s money isn’t sothing that just appeared out of thin air.
"How is it not yours? Wen Yun, you don’t want to lend it, do you?" Wen Jiao said unhappily, "A hundred thousand to the ng Family is just a drop in the bucket, why can’t you lend a little? I’m not saying I won’t pay it back."
"I am your cousin after all."
Wen Jiao looked at Wen Yun intently, making Wen Yun’s head ache.
"No, I don’t have it," Wen Yun refused directly. She said, "Even if it was my own father asking, if I don’t have the money, I just don’t have it. I can’t just make money appear out of nowhere, right?"
"I have to go to work, I’m leaving."
Wen Yun turned to leave.
Wen Jiao grabbed her and said, "Wait, then give ng Yanzhi’s number, I’ll ask him myself."
"I don’t have it."
Wen Yun no longer wanted to continue the conversation with Wen Jiao.
"Wen Yun, don’t think that just because you married well and climbed up the social ladder, you can look down on people!" Wen Jiao was furious; why did Wen Yun get to marry so well?
"Wen Jiao, I’m not looking down on anyone or climbing any ladders. I don’t have money," Wen Yun took a deep breath, feeling that her good mood from the morning had been thoroughly ruined. She said, "Wen Jiao, I don’t object to you wanting to make money, but I really don’t have any money."
"Fine, then tell ng Yanzhi’s phone number. He’s your husband, you should have it, right?" Wen Jiao insisted, convinced that she could get the money from ng Yanzhi.
Wen Yun looked at her deeply and said, "Wen Jiao, do you rember what happened at Yusheng Bar a year ago?"
Wen Jiao’s expression instantly changed, staring at her and saying, "Are you threatening ?"
"No, I just wanted to remind you, in case one day I slip up and ntion it unintentionally."
Wen Yun looked at Wen Jiao, and once Wen Jiao left, she finally let out a sigh of relief. She was very soft-hearted, but living in the Wen Family, sotis she needed to protect herself.
She rembered that day, even after a year, and if... if she hadn’t been quick-witted, she would have been the one in trouble.
After Wen Jiao left, Wen Yun felt unsettled for the whole day. Wen Jiao was the kind of person who wouldn’t stop until she got what she wanted. How was she going to find ng Yanzhi?
As soon as her shift ended, Wen Yun went ho early. Seeing that ng Yanzhi hadn’t returned, she noticed the fridge was packed full. She picked a few things to prepare dinner, and just as she was almost done, ng Yanzhi returned.
Sotis Wen Yun wondered if he sohow knew exactly when dinner would be ready?
Every ti ng Yanzhi returned, it was almost dinner ti.
During dinner, Wen Yun hesitated several tis but didn’t know how to bring it up.
What if ng Yan didn’t plan to lend Wen Jiao money in the first place? Wouldn’t her words be unnecessary then?
Moreover, if she ntioned it, how should she explain?
"What is it?"
ng Yanzhi wiped his mouth. From the mont he got ho, Wen Yun’s eyes told him she had sothing she wanted to say.
But after waiting for a long ti, Wen Yun still hesitated, not speaking up.
"Nothing."
Wen Yun shook her head, but then reconsidered and said, "Did my cousin Wen Jiao co looking for you today?"
Wen Jiao?
ng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow.
"She wanted to borrow money from to start a business, but I don’t have any." As soon as Wen Yun finished speaking, ng Yanzhi said, "You have money. If you want to lend it, lend it. If you don’t want to, then don’t."
Wen Yun stared blankly at ng Yanzhi, shocked by his words.
ng Yanzhi asked, "Do you want to lend it?"
"I don’t." Wen Yun shook her head, fearing ng Yanzhi might misunderstand, and explained, "My relationship with her isn’t very good. Besides, all her business ventures, whether ten or eight, never have a proper ending, and she never repays the money she borrows."
