Since she just recovered from a fever, Lu Beichen didn’t trouble her, just held her in his arms at night to sleep.
While eating, she seed a little down, so he asked, "What’s wrong? Didn’t you handle Shen Congjun easily today, or did you actually encounter so problem?"
He thought it was because of that matter, and Ji Niandong didn’t expose it, so she went along with him and said, "I want Shen Congjun to return twenty thousand to within a week, plus the property deed for the house in New City Garden!"
Though Shen Congjun wasn’t very famous, he should be able to co up with twenty thousand; it wasn’t too hard for him. However, he didn’t expect the little woman to demand that house!
That house is on the second ring of New City, and current house prices are more than twice what they were back then, with a rising trend!
Lu Beichen chuckled softly, "Mrs. Lu, you have a keen eye, knowing that the house is worth more than the money he has!"
"That house was originally mine!" ntioning this, Ji Niandong was vaguely angry, "That was the money from the compensation for my car accident, it’s sothing I exchanged with my life!"
Lu Beichen’s hands holding her stiffened, then he lowered his head and frowned as he asked, "You were in a car accident, and it’s compensation money from the perpetrator?"
"Yes, Lingling said so, and Shen Congjun didn’t deny it!" Ji Niandong’s voice carried a hint of grievance, as she rubbed her forehead against his chest repeatedly, like a wounded little kitten, "Little Uncle, people really are unpredictable!"
Lu Beichen raised his hand to stroke her head, the soft touch made him feel reassured, "Then, it indeed needs to be reclaid! Do you need my help with anything?"
"You don’t need to do anything! Your na is enough to help , Shen Congjun won’t dare not to give it to , because he’s afraid if you take action, then he’ll truly have nothing!" After knowing him for twenty-five years, she was well aware of his cowardly nature; she just hadn’t expected to beco the target of his bullying!
"You won’t let intervene." He paused, "Are you leaving room for him, afraid he’ll have nothing left?"
"No!" Ji Niandong said lightly, "He’s always been a failure, now just barely surviving in the entertainnt industry, eventually he will get his couppance, but it shouldn’t be forcing him into a corner, then I would be just like him, and Lingling wouldn’t know what to do with herself!"
The little woman does distinguish between right and wrong, balancing her considerations, only...
Lu Beichen replied calmly, "Indeed, he’ll get his couppance sooner or later!"
"Yes! Him getting his couppance is his own matter! I hope he gets it sooner!" She suddenly felt a bit cold and snuggled closer to his embrace.
"Mrs. Lu, hugging so tight, can you still breathe?" Lu Beichen asked with a chuckle.
"Yes!" she softly replied, then suddenly raised her head from his embrace, and asked, "Little Uncle, did you promise Nian Nian that you would let him reunite with his mom?"
She just couldn’t help but ask!
"What’s wrong? Did he tell you?" Lu Beichen asked, his voice revealing nothing unusual.
"Yes!"
If Nian Nian reunites with his mom, then what about ?
Ji Niandong opened her mouth, and after a long while, she said, "Little Uncle, I’m tired!"
"Then sleep!" he gently stroked her back, "Don’t overthink, you’ll always be my Mrs. Lu!"
He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, a good night kiss!
But his comfort was also his promise!
Ji Niandong knew very well, and there was a trace of contentnt in her heart, "Mm, good night, Little Uncle!"
"Good night!"
