Study. Before Su Jinqi could get closer, she heard coughing coming from inside. She knocked on the door twice and went in.
"Mr. Li, this is the remedy Aunt Hui gave you to cure your cough. Drink it while it's hot." Su Jinqi put the tray on the table, picked it up and handed it to him.
Li Jinghan lowered his head to look at the document and stretched out his hand.
Su Jinqi put the bowl in his hand and warned, "Be careful because it's hot."
He raised his head and glanced at her, frowning at the pungent smell of medicine, "What does this smell like?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter, drink it."
Li Jinghan drank the medicine in one breath and said with a grin: "Tell Aunt Hui not to do it again."
"You have a bad cough, Aunt Hui won't listen." Su Jinqi put the bowl on the tray and stood in front of the table without leaving.
Li Jinghan flipped through two pages of documents and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything else?"
Su Jinqi took out an envelope containing money from the pocket of her home clothes, put it on the table and pushed it over.
"Mr. Li, thank you for giving me so much of the Spring Festival bonus. Here is 10,000 yuan. I said before that I will repay you the gift money in installments. Please accept it."
"Stop being so sentimental. The bonuses are distributed by the Finance Department. I didn't ask them to give you more!" Li Jinghan raised his head and looked at her seriously, "Also, you are rich, right? The Li family is not short of the hundreds of thousands to buy you.
Let’s stop and be honest, it’s worth it!”
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at her and said impatiently: "Get out!"
Su Jinqi stood still and said stubbornly: "I know you're not bad, and I didn't do anything wrong, so I have to pay you back. It's your business whether you want it or not, and mine.
"After she finished speaking, she took the tray and quickly left the study.
Li Jinghan put down the document, took the envelope, looked around in his hand, sneered, and threw it into the drawer.
Su Jinqi returned to the room, breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a ledger, and wrote down the debt repayment information on it. Seeing that the number of words on it was reduced by ten thousand, it was the first step.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand, if I pay back the principal with interest, I'll be in my early sixties..." Su Jinqi imagined that she would go to the bank with gray hair to pay Li Jinghan money, feeling sorry for herself.
Su Jinqi crawled into bed and conceived her own little comic. She was injured for a while and didn't go to the forum. The cuties in the building have urged her to do better many times. It just so happened that Chu Yanhao was stuck with Su Jincheng these days, and her
The injury has healed, allowing her to have time to create.
While I was concentrating, the phone suddenly rang. It was Li Su'e.
"Hi, auntie."
Li Su'e laughed a few times on the phone and asked considerately: "I haven't slept yet. I haven't called for a while. I don't know if Jincheng is adapting to your place."
"Everything is fine." She said calmly.
"Did you tell Jing Han what my eldest aunt told you last time?"
"Auntie, Jing Han has been very busy recently. I only see him every now and then. It's almost the New Year now, let's talk about brother's matters after the New Year." Su Jinqi prevaricated.
Li Su'e said "Oh" on the phone and said to her understandingly: "Yes, this is not a matter of urgency. So when will you come back during the Chinese New Year?"
"I don't know. It depends on Jing Han's arrangement."
"Okay, it's good to come back for the first few days." Li Su'e doesn't dare to offend Su Jinqi now, and everything will go her way.
"Auntie, let's do this for now. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to die."
"Okay, go to bed early."
Li Su'e hung up the phone, folded her arms and sat on the sofa with a sullen face and said nothing. This girl was even at odds with herself!
"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?" Su Jinxiu came out of the room and asked curiously.
Li Su'e turned to look at her daughter and waved to her, "Come here."
"Mom, what's the matter?" Su Jinxiu obeyed and sat over.
Li Su'e was thoughtful and said to her: "I just finished calling Qiqi. She hasn't told Li Jinghan about your brother yet."
"Are you angry about this?" Su Jinxiu leaned back on the sofa and said nonchalantly, "I think your talk is in vain. She won't help us."
"What's the matter?" Li Su'e asked puzzledly, "I think Li Jinghan is very easy to talk to, he spends generously, and he doesn't hesitate to get the gift money. I think, for the sake of Qiqi's face, he can't ignore your brother's matter.
"
Su Jinxiu snorted, "Mom, let's not talk about whether Li Jinghan will help us or not. Just talk about Su Jinqi. She hates my brother in her heart, so how can she help."
"After marrying into such a good family, she still hates it in front of a young mistress? Is she ignorant?" Li Su'e said contemptuously: "She has been pretending to be noble since she was a child, just like her mother!"
Su Jinxiu said contemptuously: "She has not always been like that, a little white lotus, that's why I hate her."
"Then tell me, if she doesn't help your brother, I can't always go to the company to find Li Jinghan - last time I went to ask for a bride price, Qiqi got very angry with me. What do you think we should do?"
Su Jinxiu coughed slightly, "Aren't you still here with me? I'll go see Jincheng and bring him some delicious food."
Li Su'e looked at her daughter in disbelief, thought deeply for a moment, and asked tentatively: "What else are you planning in your head?"
"I don't have any ideas. I just want to see what the big mansion looks like." Su Jinxiu stood up and said, "Then it's settled. I'll contact Su Jinqi tomorrow."
Li Su'e watched her daughter go back to the room and thought to herself that it would be better to go to Jinxiu than to go by herself. At such an old age, it would be inappropriate for her to flatter Li Jinghan and Su Jinqi. She no longer looked like an elder.
The next day is the weekend.
Li Jinghan rarely went to work overtime today, but rested at home. He didn't come down from breakfast, and the rest of the family finished eating in the kitchen, talking and laughing.
"Sister, I've finished eating and went upstairs." Su Jincheng said.
"Is there anything you need to do? If you have nothing else, you can accompany me and Lucas to build a snowman outside later."
It was very gloomy early this morning, and now there is heavy snow falling outside.
"My brother-in-law recommended a book to me. There are some things about financial management that I don't understand, so I have to ask him for advice at any time."
Su Jinqi coughed twice uncomfortably, "He's busy with work, so don't bother him all the time. It's okay to read other books or play with your phone."
She was worried that Li Jinghan's bad temper would turn on her younger brother.
"I don't. When my brother-in-law usually works, I just read next to him without disturbing him. He is quite willing to teach me things." Su Jincheng said with certainty: "Sister, my brother-in-law is a very good person, as I imagined before.
It’s not the same at all, I quite like him. I went up first.”
Su Jinqi saw him walking out of the kitchen briskly, pouting and talking to Aunt Hui like Su Jincheng: "I quite like him."
"You, Jincheng and the young master have a good relationship, which is also good for you." Aunt Hui put away the dishes and said with a smile.
Su Jinqi said aggrievedly: "Of course I'm happy that they can get along. I just can't figure out why he hates me? I always feel that I have other intentions for him!"
