“Uh…”
“Oh, I see…” Qingyan said awkwardly
“Yeah, why else would you say that a mother’s love is great?” Cuiping said with a smile. “Looking at something like this, you can see why children never look for their father.”
“Mom, you’re right,” Lin Yi said.
Qingyan’s face was burning up as if it was on fire.
However, if she was put in the same situation again, she felt it would still be better to go back and hug the child. Comforting the baby was the most important thing.
Ring, Ring, Ring…
Cuiping’s phone rang.
“Come down, Ning Yue is back with her boyfriend,” Quanfu said.
“Really? It’s only been one day. That’s great.”
Cuiping hung up after that.
“Who’s coming again?” Lin Yi asked
“Ning Yue’s back. Let’s go down and take a look.”
“That’s quite a coincidence.”
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan followed behind.
“Who’s Ning Yue? Is she one of the orphanage’s children?”Ji Qingyan asked.
“Yeah.”
Lin Yi nodded. “Her name is Guo Ningyue. She’s a year younger than me. We both left the orphanage together, but she went to university in Yang City while I went to Zhong Hai.”
“I see.”
Guo Ningyue wasn’t as tall as Ji Qingyan, but she was not short either.
She was wearing a white knee-length dress, black high heels, and her long, wavy hair made her stand out.
The person standing next to her made Lin Yi frown slightly.
He looked to be in her thirties, had a big belly, and looked like a nouveau richer who was seemingly much older than Guo Ningyue.
“Sister Ningyue, what delicious food did you bring for us?” The children of the orphanage said.
“They’re all in the car. Come and move them.”
Guo Ningyue waved her hand and called the children around her.
“Slow down, all of you. This is a BMW 7 series. It costs more than a million dollars. Don’t touch it. If it gets dirty, I’ll have to clean the car,” the man next to Guo Ningyue shouted.
Ning Yue pushed the man beside her, complaining, “They’re all kids, what’s the point of saying all that?”
The man said with a fake smile, “It’s my fault, it’s my fault.”
When the kids took all the toys out of the car, Ning Yue walked over while holding the man’s arm.
“Bro, you’re back too.”
Seeing Lin Yi, Ning Yue’s smile became bright. She let go of the man’s hand, lifted the hem of her dress, and ran toward Lin Yi.
“I’m not busy at the moment, so I came back to visit.”
Ning Yue’s gaze fell on Ji Qingyan as she asked with a smile,
“Brother, this is sister-in-law, right? Can you introduce her to me?”
“Ji Qingyan.”
Ji Qingyan reached out her hand and said in a dignified manner, “Hello, Lin Yi has told me a lot about you. We finally met today.”
Lin Yi glanced at Ji Qingyan.
She really knew how to talk. After saying that, their relationship instantly became closer.
“Hehe, hello, sister-in-law.” Guo Ningyue said, “Sister-in-law, you’re so pretty. You’re really letting my brother off easy.”
“If it wasn’t for his constant pestering, I wouldn’t have agreed to him.”
Lin Yi, “…”
Playing me again.
“Hello, Miss Ji. I’m Ningyue’s boyfriend, Wang Tao. It’s our first time meeting, but I hope we will meet more often.”
Wang Tao’s eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets as he looked at Ji Qingyan.
If she was 100 points, then Guo Ning Yue would only be 80 points at most!
A top-quality product like this was hard to find both in the heavens and under the earth.
Pa!
Lin Yi slapped Wang Tao’s hand away. “We’re not outsiders. It’s fine if we just shake hands, there’s no need to be so formal.”
Wang Tao’s face turned ugly. ‘What the f*ck, you’re ruining my opportunity!’
“Hehe, you’re right. We’re all on the same side. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Wang Tao hid his emotions well. He had heard Guo Ningyue mention this person before.
He seemed to be a small-time white-collar worker who had relied on his good looks to find such a top-notch girlfriend.
However, if he used all his strength and gave her the temptation of a little money, wouldn’t this conquest be easy?
“Mr. Lin, I heard about you from Ning Yue before. You look talented, I wonder where you work?” Wang Tao asked with a smile.
“Didi, what’s up?” Lin Yi asked
“Didi?!”
Cui Ping, Guo Ning Yue, and the others were surprised.
Was Lin Yi not working in a real estate company? Why did he go to Didi?
“So, you’re a Didi driver, juh?” Wang Tao laughed as he puffed out his stomach. “That must be hard work. You must constantly be tired, and you don’t make much money.
“Haha, but we’re all the same. I own a steel mill, and I only make a few million a year. It’s all hard work.”Wang Tao continued.
“What are you talking about?” Ning Yue was a little unhappy.
They weren’t blood-related, but they’d been living together since they were kids, and their relationship was better than that of certain blood-related siblings.
It was only natural that she was not happy when Wang Tao said that about Lin Yi.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll watch my mouth,” Wang Tao said with a smile.
“Lin Bro, listen to my advice. Zhong Hai is a place for rich people. People like you who can’t make something of yourselves should stop living there. Why don’t you come back to Yangcheng and work at my factory? For Ningyue’s sake, I’ll give you an extra thousand dollars a month, and I’ll make sure you live a better life than you did in Zhong Hai.”
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes as he smiled at Tao.
Was acting tough good for one’s health?
Why did everyone like to act tough?
“You might earn more than me, but we bought a truckload of stuff when we came here. It’s worth at least twenty times more than what you brough,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“W-what did you say? A truckload of stuff?” Wang Tao asked.
“It’s in the corner. Take a look for yourself.” Lin Yi said
Wang Tao’s expression changed slightly when he saw the mountain of toys and snacks.
“So, you bought all those things?” He asked.
“That’s right.” Lin Yi shrugged. “They’re not expensive, but they shouldhave cost more than what you bought.”
What the f*ck?
Tao cursed in his heart. He thought that the orphanage bought those things themselves, but it turns out that they were the ones who bought them.
“Brother Lin, why are you doing this?” Wang Tao asked with a smile.
“If you drive for Didi, you won’t make much money. It would have cost at least 10,000 dollars to buy so many things. Wouldn’t you have to save for a few months to save up that much? Why do you have to pretend to be well off?”
“I did need to save for a period of time, but at least it is better than people who pretend not to be well off.”
Wang Tao narrowed his eyes as looked at Ji Qingyan, who was standing beside him, and said,
“Hehe, my car is a BMW 7 series, and there isn’t much space in the trunk, so I didn’t buy many things. But I came with money, and I’m prepared to take out 100,000 dollars to donate to the orphanage.”
“Donate 100,000 yuan!”
Wang Cuiping was shocked. The orphanage had been established for so long, and this was the first time it had received so much in donations.
“100,000 is a bit too much. It won’t beeasy for you guys either. We’re already very grateful toward you guys for buying so many things.” Wang Cuiping quickly remaked.
“Aunty Wang, you don’t have to be humble for my sake. The steel factory I run has a profit of several million a year, and there’s a chance that it’ll break through the ten million mark this year. This small amount of money is nothing to me,” Wang Tao said.
“Unlike Brother Lin, who doesn’t earn much from Didi. You have to save up for a few months just to buy something.”
“Mom, they’re already donating the money. Just keep it,” Lin Yi said with a smile. “No matter how small a mosquito’s leg is, it’s still meat.”
“Lin Bro, it doesn’t sound good when you say that. A Mosquito’s leg? It’s 100,000 dollars. It’s not a small amount,” Wang Tao said.
“You’ve been working hard in Zhong Hai for a year, but you probably couldn’t even save that much money. Hehe, even if you could, you wouldn’t be willing to donate it, right?” Wang Tao said.
“Don’t say that. We came here with the intention of donating money.”
“I think it’s better to forget it. With the size of the orphanage now, donating a few hundred dollars would be useless. It’s better to keep it for your own use. It’s quite tiring to drive for Didi. Keep the money and buy some nutrition to replenish your body.”
Wang Tao held the cigarette in his mouth and pinched his waist. His eyes kept glancing toward Ji Qingyan.
This guy was really angry. He did not even want to hear a few words from Lin Yi.
You want to compete with me for money? Are you my f*cking opponent?
I’m definitely going to steal your woman!
“You’re right. There’s no point in donating a few hundred dollars,” Lin Yi said.
“That’s why people have to see reality and recognize their own weight.”
“No, no, no. What I mean is, I won’t donate a few hundred dollars. I’ll just donate a hundred million.”
