For a moment, Ji Yuanyuan did not understand why Qin Mucheng was envious of Li Xirui.
âShe can even receive flowers from you. Weâve known each other for more than ten years, but Iâve never received any flowers from you. Do you think I shouldnât be envious of her?â
So it was like this? Ji Yuanyuan laughed.
âAlright, when you teach me how to drive, Iâll send you a bouquet of flowers too.â
âOh right, I might have to leave for a while on Saturday afternoon. Lin Nan wants to meet the little sister she sponsors. Sheâs embarrassed and wants me to accompany her to eat.â
âCanât you not go?â Qin Mucheng asked in disappointment.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and touched his arm, whispering, âJust for a while two hours at most. Lin Nan has already begged me, so I canât reject her.â Qin Mucheng sighed and said unwillingly, âAlright, Iâll send you there then.â âBy the way, Iâm not very familiar with your colleague. You can say a few more words later to save the embarrassment.â Ji Yuanyuan turned around and started talking about Li Xirui.
There was a trap in her words. Qin Mucheng was a smart person and could tell right away.
âIâm not too familiar with her.â He said immediately. âYou should say a few more words.â
âHow could that be? Arenât you guys colleagues in the department?â Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Qin Mucheng explained with a serious expression, âIâm not very close to my colleagues, not to mention that sheâs a woman. Of course, I have to keep my distance. Although they were colleagues, they didnât talk much.â
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng suspiciously.
Qin Muchengâs body immediately tensed up, âItâs true. Iâm not lying.â
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh when she saw how nervous Qin Mucheng was.
âWhat are you doing? Itâs not like I donât allow you to talk to your female colleagues. If your parents see this, theyâll think that Iâm being unreasonable.â âAlthough youâve never asked me before, as a man, I should still have some awareness.â Qin Mucheng said seriously.
Ji Yuanyuanâs heart was filled with sweetness. She could not help but sigh, âYouâre quite a man with virtue. Youâre simply the standard model of a man.â âWhat do you mean by a man with virtue?â Qin Mucheng did not quite understand Ji Yuanyuanâs words and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan patiently explained, âIt corresponds to a womanâs virtue. It means that you are very loving and have good morals.â
Qin Mucheng nodded thoughtfully, âItâs the same whether itâs a man or a woman. We should keep our bottom line.â
The corners of Ji Yuanyuanâs mouth twitched, but she did not say anything else. °
Soon, the two of them arrived at Li Xiruiâs ward.
The ward was a luxurious suite arranged by Qin Haowen, and he even hired a young female nurse who was very efficient.
When Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuan pushed the door open, the nurse was clearing the table.
It looked like the Li family of three had just finished eating.
The nurse did not know Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan, but those who could come must be people that Li Xirui knew.
Therefore, the nurse immediately took the rag and went out.
When Li Xiruiâs mother, Shan Cuiping, saw Qin Mucheng enter, she subconsciously smiled.
However, she quickly remembered her daughterâs instructions and immediately put on a stern face.
Li Xiruiâs father, Li Hongyi, remembered his daughterâs instructions and kept a straight face from the beginning to the end.
Qin Mucheng greeted Li Hongyi and his wife politely after they entered the house.
Ji Yuanyuan placed the flowers and fruit basket on the table beside her and said politely, âXirui, are you feeling better? Brother Mucheng and I were quite worried about you. When we heard you were awake, we quickly came over.â
When Li Hongyi heard this, he glanced at Ji Yuanyuan and said, âOur Xirui wake up m the morning, but you guys only came now! 1 donât think you have any sincerity at all.â
Ji Yuanyuan choked for a moment and explained in embarrassment, âWe were afraid we would disturb Xirui if we came too early. She just woke up, so she must not be in good spirits.â
Shan Cuiping saw that her husband was playing the bad cop, so she played the good cop.
She stepped forward and tugged at her husbandâs arm. She whispered âStop talking.â
Then, she looked at Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan, âThank you for your concern. President Qinâs arrangements are quite good.â
Seeing this, Li Xirui also sat up from the hospital bed, âIâm fine. I feel pretty good.â
âThatâs good,â Ji Yuanyuan said. âBrother Mu Cheng and I are very grateful to you for what happened yesterday. If thereâs anything you need, just tell us.â
Li Xirui smiled bitterly and looked at Qin Mucheng.
Then, as if she had a guilty conscience, she hurriedly looked away and looked at Ji Yuanyuan, âAt that time, I just rushed up subconsciously. I didnât think too much about it. President Qin gave me a long vacation so I can rest in peace.â Ji Yuanyuan glanced at Qin Mucheng, hinting at him to say something quickly. Qin Mucheng thought for a moment and said, âIf you have any requests, donât stand on ceremony. Just contact Secretary Zhong. Also, the police have already caught the culprit.â
Li Xirui lowered her head and said expressionlessly, âWhat can I ask for? I just hope that there wonât be any scars on my face in the futureâ¦â
She sighed and glanced at the table, âMom, itâs not convenient for me to move now. Please pour me two glasses of water.â
Shan Cuiping looked into Li Xiruiâs eyes and suddenly thought of something.
She came to the table, took out her bag, and took out a card.
This is the 500,000 yuan that your father asked Secretary Zhong to send over
this morning.â Shan Cuiping said politely.
Qin Mucheng frowned slightly but did not take it, âOur entire family is very grateful for what happened yesterday. This 500,000 yuan doesnât mean anything else. You have to eat well while youâre recuperating.â
âI didnât save you for money. If I accept the 500,000, it will seem like my motives are not pure.â Li Xiruiâs eyes were sincere, but there was no expression on her face.
After all, her face was wrapped in thick gauze. She couldnât make any expression even if she wanted to.
âIt was my wishful thinking to block the knife for you. You didnât force me. So you donât have to think about taking responsibility for me. You should take the money back. President Qin arranged for the ward and nurses. He also paid for the surgery. Our family is already very satisfied.â
After Li Xirui finished speaking, he glanced at Shan Cuiping indifferently.
Shan Cuiping smiled, but her heart was bleeding.
She stuffed the card into Qin Muchengâs hand, âXirui is right. You should take the money back.â
This was 500,000 yuan. How many years of their salary was that?
500,000 yuan was enough to buy a house in B City.
Moreover, from the looks of it, the Qin family didnât just have this 500,000 yuan. There will be more in the future.
The first time he gave was already 500,000 yuan. The next time, it should be even more..
