Chapter 336: Chapter 336: How Much Money Did Third Young Master Give You?
When Lin Zhiyi returned ho, Sister Zhou had already prepared the al.
She asked sowhat surprised, “Sister Zhou, aren’t you working today either?”
Sister Zhou’s hand, holding the dish, paused for a mont, and she explained with her head down, “I have a lot of leave days, so my boss simply told to take a couple more days off.”
“Hmm.”
Lin Zhiyi washed her hands to eat.
Just as she sat down, Sister Zhou brought over a bowl of pigeon soup, which also contained tonic Chinese herbs.
Lin Zhiyi had seen maids stewing soup at the Gong Family house, and although she didn’t recognize all of them, she could identify one of the Chinese herbs worth six figures.
She fished out a flake-like substance with a spoon, “Sister Zhou, am I dying? You’ve even served deer antler.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Sister Zhou served her a piece of rib and cleared her throat to explain, “Pigeon soup with deer antler is very good for bone injuries, and it can also… nourish the kidneys. Won need that too. With such a handso and strong boyfriend, you can’t just look without doing anything, right?”
Saying so, Sister Zhou winked at Lin Zhiyi.
“You’re the one who should stop talking nonsense.” Lin Zhiyi lowered her head to drink the soup.
Sister Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle, but she felt a sense of relief inside.
After drinking half a bowl of soup, Lin Zhiyi fiddled with the deer antler slice and asked indifferently, “Sister Zhou, how much money did Third Young Master give you?”
Sister Zhou was startled, and her chopsticks dropped.
“You, you know about it? Actually, I didn’t want to deceive you, but Third Young Master instructed not to tell you. He said you like to tough it out and always report only the good news and not the worries to your mom, so he asked to take extra care of you.”
“He’s quite nice to you, gave a lot of nourishnt ingredients, told to cook different dishes for you every day…”
Lin Zhiyi interrupted with a downturned gaze, “What if I ended up like this because of him?”
Sister Zhou gasped, flustered, “I, I don’t know.”
“Sister Zhou, I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.” Lin Zhiyi set down her bowl and turned around, “Thank you for your trouble, it won’t be necessary anymore.”
Sister Zhou looked at the table full of dishes, her expression solemn.
At the other end.
Gong Chen, who was busy with work, received a refund notification.
‘Third Young Master, I can’t help you.’
Chen Jin, who was beside him handing over docunts, imdiately pulled out her phone, “I’ll check on Miss Lin’s health.”
The ssage had just been sent when an exclamation mark appeared next to the text.
Chen Jin said awkwardly, “Miss Lin has blocked .”
Gong Chen picked up his own phone and opened the chat window, but his finger never moved to send a ssage.
Chen Jin knew he was afraid of seeing a red exclamation mark on his screen as well.
As long as he pretended not to know, everything would seem as before.
Sigh.
…
Lin Zhiyi took a nap in the afternoon and when she woke up, the doorbell rang.
Upon opening the door, Sang Li stood outside with piping hot pastries.
“With so many als in a day, my injury might heal but I’ll also gain ten pounds,” she muttered.
“That ans I’ve nourished you well. They just ca out of the oven, eat them while they’re hot.”
Sang Li entered the house.
Lin Zhiyi nodded with a smile, but the next second, she could no longer smile.
She slled a very special perfu on Sang Li, the sa scent she had slled on Ren Xiya last ti.
She paused for a mont, looking at the man who was concerned about her, not knowing how to ask.
At that mont, Sang Li ca out of the kitchen with two plates, only to see Lin Zhiyi still standing there, stunned.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Zhiyi shook her head to regain her senses and moved forward to take the plates, “Let .”
Sang Li blocked her, “Just sit down and wait to eat. I’ll brew another pot of tea for you, just right to cut the grease.”
“Thank you.”
Just as Lin Zhiyi sat down and was about to eat, that unfamiliar number sent her another photo.
It was an image of Sang Li and Ren Xiya entering and leaving a place together.
Ren Xiya seed to have said sothing funny, both of them looking very happy.
At this point, Sang Li ca over, carrying tea.
“What are you looking at? You’re spaced out.”
Lin Zhiyi closed her phone, took a bite of the pastry, and comnted, “This pastry is not as delicious as the last ti. I feel like there’s an extra flavor to it.”
“Flavor?” Sang Li asked with suspicion.
Lin Zhiyi passed the pastry to him, “Don’t believe ? Sll it.”
Sang Li leaned down to sll it and suddenly realized sothing.
“You know I’ve seen Ren Xiya?”
“Yes, her scent is very distinctive, hard to forget,” Lin Zhiyi calmly explained.
Sang Li stared at her for a mont and asked, “Are you angry?”
Lin Zhiyi replied subconsciously, “No, was she looking for you for sothing?”
What seed like an ordinary question led to a long silence at the dining table.
“Zhiyi, you should be angry,” Sang Li said in a low voice.
“I… I just don’t want to misunderstand you,” Lin Zhiyi stamred in explanation.
Sang Li reached out and held her hand, “It’s okay, take your ti. I’m just hoping you’d be a little jealous of . Aren’t you afraid soone will steal away?”
He half-jokingly dissolved the awkwardness at hand.
Lin Zhiyi reciprocated the hold on his hand, looking into his eyes, “I trust my judgnt and besides, the way things are now, whatever choice you make wouldn’t be wrong. I will respect it.”
Sang Li said earnestly, “I also trust my choice.”
The two exchanged a smile, as if the awkwardness from monts ago never happened.
Sang Li poured more tea for Lin Zhiyi, “Ren Xiya indeed ca to talk to about so matters, this also has to do with…”
Lin Zhiyi was listening intently when her phone rang.
It was a call from Sang Ran.
“Zhiyi, I just sent you the ti and location for the bachelor party, did you see it?”
Lin Zhiyi glanced at WeChat, “I just saw it.”
The ti was the evening the day after tomorrow, at the Lang Yue Hotel.
With both the Sang Family and the Gong Family having too many people, they booked the entire hotel for Sang Ran’s pre-wedding party.
The ssage even included performance tis for several dostic bands and the hotel’s entertainnt facilities on different floors.
Lin Zhiyi had previously thought the pre-wedding party would just involve sitting together for a al and maybe going to a KTV to sing.
Poverty really did limit her imagination.
Sang Ran reminded her, “The bachelor party at dawn is a masquerade ball. It’s sure to be fun.”
“Masquerade ball? I’m not really familiar with it, maybe I shouldn’t go,” Lin Zhiyi felt like an outsider and preferred to decline.
Sang Ran lowered her voice, “Didn’t we agree already? I’ve even prepared a dress for you. My brother will be there too, won’t you co as his girlfriend?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi could only agree.
“Alright.”
“Then I’ll have soone courier the dress to you.”
“Thank you.”
Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to hang up, she heard a rustling sound from Sang Ran’s end, like the friction of a phone being placed sowhere.
Probably Sang Ran hadn’t hung up the call and just left her phone aside.
Imdiately after, Sang Ran’s coquettish voice was heard.
“Third Young Master, this soup with the added herbal dicine is really bitter, it’s a waste of such expensive ingredients on .”
Herbal nourishing soup?
Lin Zhiyi thought of the pigeon and deer antler soup from noon and gripped her phone tightly.
A scornful laugh bubbled up inside her. Gong Chen’s heart was indeed ‘broad’.
“Drink it.”
The man’s deep and magnetic voice slowly resounded as if cooing a child to take dicine.
Sang Ran continued, “Then after I drink it, I want the pastries you brought back last ti, called Zui Yue Xuan.”
Hearing that, Lin Zhiyi subconsciously looked at the box on the table, clearly labeled Zui Yue Xuan.
It was the store she had posted in her Monts about wanting to try not long ago.
Lin Zhiyi imdiately hung up the call, unwilling to listen any further.
