Chapter 608: Wounded Self-Esteem
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Yuanyuan struggled, “Who asked you to endure? I’m already an adult…” Qin Mucheng’s hands slowly tightened, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He did not say anything and just stared at Ji Yuanyuan in silence.
His eyes were bloodshot.
Looking at Qin Mucheng’s expression, Ji Yuanyuan raised her head to kiss him,
“If you can’t endure it, then don’t endure it…”
However, just as Ji Yuanyuan was about to touch Qin Mucheng, he suddenly turned his face away.
He quickly let go of Ji Yuanyuan, got up, and walked downstairs.
By the time Ji Yuanyuan reacted, Qin Mucheng had already reached the first floor.
He quickly went to the bathroom on the first floor and locked the door.
Ji Yuanyuan stared blankly at the ceiling. After a long while, she let out a bitter laugh.
The dream just now had thrown her into chaos. Did her initiative scare Qin
Mucheng?
However, when she suddenly discovered the truth, she could not calm down.
Half an hour later, Qin Mucheng came out of the bathroom. His hair was wet and dripping with water.
“Let me send you home.” Qin Mucheng whispered.
What happened just now made the two of them feel a little awkward.
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and nodded silently.
Qin Mucheng drove the car and sent Ji Yuanyuan home in silence.
When they arrived at Ji Yuanyuan’s house, Qin Mucheng got out of the car and stuffed the car keys into Ji Yuanyuan’s hands before turning around and running away.
His footsteps made him look like a ghost was chasing him.
Looking at Qin Mucheng’s back view, Ji Yuanyuan sighed helplessly.
What was going on? Was she that unattractive?
She had already taken the initiative, yet Qin Mucheng did not touch her?
Her self-esteem was a little hurt. She raised her hand and covered her heart.
“What’s wrong?” Just as Ji Yuanyuan was in a daze, Ji Zi’ang suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan was shocked and her entire body shivered.
When she saw that it was Ji Zi’ang, she patted her chest and whispered, “What
are you doing? You scared me to death.”
-What bad things did you and Brother Mucheng do that scared you to death?”
Ji Yuanyuan felt guilty for a moment when she heard Ji Zi’ang’s words.
However, she reacted very quickly. Although she had evil intentions, the key was that Qin Mucheng did not cooperate.
They hadn’t done anything terrible.
At this thought, Ji Yuanyuan instantly stood up, “What nonsense are you talking about? Did you just come back from the hospital? When is Dad going to be discharged?”
Ji Zi’ang looked at Ji Yuanyuan thoughtfully and then at the car by the roadside, “Our parents said that they plan to be discharged tomorrow. Now that they’ve almost recovered, they’ll just stay at home and recuperate.”
Pausing for a moment, he raised his chin and pointed at the car, “Where did the car come from? It seems to be new, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan waved the keys in her hand at Ji Zi’ang, “My car.”
She thought Ji Zi’ang would be envious or happy.
However, Ji Yuanyuan did not expect Ji Zi’ang’s expression to turn serious after she told him that it was her car.
“Ji Yuanyuan, you and Brother Mucheng aren’t married yet! It’s fine if you usually accept unimportant gifts, but why do you even dare to accept such expensive things now? Hurry up and return the car!” Ji Zi’ang lectured with a serious expression.
Ji Yuanyuan did not expect Second Brother to have such a big reaction.
She hesitated for a while, then murmured, “Alright, I’ll find a chance to talk to him again.”
Her Second Brother, Big Brother, and her parents would definitely criticize her for receiving the car.
Then, she would agree to it first and let Qin Mucheng explain it to them later. Ji Yuanyuan followed Ji Zi’ang home. Just as she went back to her room to lie down, she received a call from Lin Nan.
“Have you guys finished eating?” Ji Yuanyuan asked,
Lin Nan sighed and said, “I just arrived at school. How is it? Tell me, what’s your relationship with Shen Lingxue? Why did you look like you saw a ghost when you saw her?”
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, but she still told Lin Nan about the grudges between her and Shen Lingxue.
She still believed Lin Nan. After all, she had told Lin Nan about her relationship with Hu Hao and Liu Bowen back then.
However, after so many years, Lin Nan had never let it slip.
After hearing Ji Yuanyuan’s words, Lin Nan was a little surprised, “What? Does she have such a relationship with you? She looks like a gentle little girl, but she actually bullied you?”
“That’s all in the past,” Ji Yuanyuan laughed softly, “But what did she tell you when she asked you out for dinner today?”
When Lin Nan heard this, she sighed again, “Now that I think about it, this young lady is quite scheming. First, she vaguely cried about her background. After the family that adopted her had their own child, they abandoned her on the day she turned 18. She could only ask the orphanage for help and find someone to sponsor her. Then, after gaining my sympathy, she took the opportunity to make a request that I not sponsor her through the orphanage in the future.”
Lin Nan said helplessly, “I didn’t think much of it at first. Now that I’ve heard about what happened in the past, I’m starting to wonder why she is doing this. What was she after? Even if I don’t sponsor her through the orphanage, the monthly fee won’t be much. It’s only 300 yuan.”
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything. She had no way of knowing Shen Lingxue’s thoughts.
Lin Nan slapped his thigh and reacted, “F*ck, is she trying to scam another sponsorship? If I don’t sponsor her through the orphanage, the orphanage might continue to arrange a sponsor for her…”
In that case, she would have two sponsors.
When Lin Nan thought of this, she felt a little complicated.
She didn’t want to believe it, but she had to believe it.
If that were not the case, Shen Lingxue would not have made such a request.
After a long while, Lin Nan said in a low voice, “No, I have to think carefully about whether to continue funding her.”
Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, Lin Nan hung up the phone.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the phone screen that had turned black and sighed slightly.
The next morning, Zhang Kun was discharged from the hospital with Li Xu, Ji Zixuan, and Li Miao welcoming him.
Ji Zi’ang’s liver was very compatible with Zhang Kun’s body, so there were no adverse reactions.
Therefore, Zhang Kun’s current recovery was not bad.
After the autumnal equinox, the weather became colder by the day.
Ji Zi’ang could not stay at home. After resting at home for a month and a half, he went to the club.
Of course, he had promised Li Xu he would not partic.i.p.ate in driving training for the time being.
Meanwhile, Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei’s engagement ceremony was finally on the agenda.
The Huang family were all cultured people, so they were very understanding of Zhang Kun.
Due to Zhang Kun’s body, the engagement banquet was relatively simple.
The two relatives had two tables, and it was considered an engagement..
