Chapter 602: To Uphold Male Virtue
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
For a moment, Ji Yuanyuan did not understand why Qin Mucheng was envious of Li Xirui.
“She can even receive flowers from you. We’ve known each other for more than ten years, but I’ve never received any flowers from you. Do you think I shouldn’t be envious of her?”
So it was like this? Ji Yuanyuan laughed.
“Alright, when you teach me how to drive, I’ll send you a bouquet of flowers too.”
“Oh right, I might have to leave for a while on Sat.u.r.day afternoon. Lin Nan wants to meet the little sister she sponsors. She’s embarra.s.sed and wants me to accompany her to eat.”
“Can’t you not go?” Qin Mucheng asked in disappointment.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and touched his arm, whispering, “Just for a while two hours at most. Lin Nan has already begged me, so I can’t reject her.” Qin Mucheng sighed and said unwillingly, “Alright, I’ll send you there then.” “By the way, I’m not very familiar with your colleague. You can say a few more words later to save the embarra.s.sment.” 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.
“I’m not too familiar with her.” He said immediately. “You should say a few more words.”
“How could that be? Aren’t you guys colleagues in the department?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Qin Mucheng explained with a serious expression, “I’m not very close to my colleagues, not to mention that she’s a woman. Of course, I have to keep my distance. Although they were colleagues, they didn’t talk much.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng suspiciously.
Qin Mucheng’s body immediately tensed up, “It’s true. I’m not lying.”
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh when she saw how nervous Qin Mucheng was.
“What are you doing? It’s not like I don’t allow you to talk to your female colleagues. If your parents see this, they’ll think that I’m being unreasonable.” “Although you’ve never asked me before, as a man, I should still have some awareness.” Qin Mucheng said seriously.
Ji Yuanyuan’s heart was filled with sweetness. She could not help but sigh, “You’re quite a man with virtue. You’re simply the standard model of a man.” “What do you mean by a man with virtue?” Qin Mucheng did not quite understand Ji Yuanyuan’s words and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan patiently explained, “It corresponds to a woman’s virtue. It means that you are very loving and have good morals.”
Qin Mucheng nodded thoughtfully, “It’s the same whether it’s a man or a woman. We should keep our bottom line.”
The corners of Ji Yuanyuan’s mouth twitched, but she did not say anything else. °
Soon, the two of them arrived at Li Xirui’s 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 Xirui’s mother, Shan Cuiping, saw Qin Mucheng enter, she subconsciously smiled.
However, she quickly remembered her daughter’s instructions and immediately put on a stern face.
Li Xirui’s father, Li Hongyi, remembered his daughter’s 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, “Xirui, are you feeling better? Brother Mucheng and I were quite worried about you. When we heard you were awake, we quickly came over.”
When Li Hongyi heard this, he glanced at Ji Yuanyuan and said, “Our Xirui wake up m the morning, but you guys only came now! 1 don’t think you have any sincerity at all.”
Ji Yuanyuan choked for a moment and explained in embarra.s.sment, “We were afraid we would disturb Xirui if we came too early. She just woke up, so she must not be in good spirits.”
Shan Cuiping saw that her husband was playing the bad cop, so she played the good cop.
She stepped forward and tugged at her husband’s arm. She whispered “Stop talking.”
Then, she looked at Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan, “Thank you for your concern. President Qin’s arrangements are quite good.”
Seeing this, Li Xirui also sat up from the hospital bed, “I’m fine. I feel pretty good.”
“That’s good,” Ji Yuanyuan said. “Brother Mu Cheng and I are very grateful to you for what happened yesterday. If there’s anything you need, just tell us.”
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, “At that time, I just rushed up subconsciously. I didn’t think too much about it. President Qin gave me a long vacation so I can rest in peace.” Ji Yuanyuan glanced at Qin Mucheng, hinting at him to say something quickly. Qin Mucheng thought for a moment and said, “If you have any requests, don’t stand on ceremony. Just contact Secretary Zhong. Also, the police have already caught the culprit.”
Li Xirui lowered her head and said expressionlessly, “What can I ask for? I just hope that there won’t be any scars on my face in the future…”
She sighed and glanced at the table, “Mom, it’s not convenient for me to move now. Please pour me two gla.s.ses of water.”
Shan Cuiping looked into Li Xirui’s 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.” Shan Cuiping said politely.
Qin Mucheng frowned slightly but did not take it, “Our entire family is very grateful for what happened yesterday. This 500,000 yuan doesn’t mean anything else. You have to eat well while you’re recuperating.”
“I didn’t save you for money. If I accept the 500,000, it will seem like my motives are not pure.” Li Xirui’s eyes were sincere, but there was no expression on her face.
After all, her face was wrapped in thick gauze. She couldn’t make any expression even if she wanted to.
“It was my wishful thinking to block the knife for you. You didn’t force me. So you don’t 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.”
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 Mucheng’s hand, “Xirui is right. You should take the money back.”
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 didn’t 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..
