When Aunt Hui heard what the young master said in the restaurant, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen and saw her walking in. She hurriedly explained to her:
"Girl, don't be angry. It's my fault too. I forgot to tell you just now that the young master doesn't like people around him when he's dining."
Su Jinqi lowered her head aggrievedly and said, "It's okay, Aunt Hui, I'll just be careful in the future."
Aunt Hui took her bowls and chopsticks, put them on the dining table, and said, "Eat quickly, we're running out of time."
After breakfast, Su Jinqi cleaned the bowl and said to Aunt Hui and Uncle Kui who were eating:
"Aunt Hui, Uncle Kui, you guys eat slowly, I'm going to work."
Uncle Kui nodded, and Aunt Hui warned: "The road is slippery in the snow, be careful on the road, and wear hats and gloves."
"Well, I've put it on." She said gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Hui."
When Su Jinqi came out of the villa, she was hit by the wind and snow that made her unable to open her eyes. She hurriedly pulled up her scarf and looked down to see the vast expanse of snow in the yard. She became excited, like a bird
The little rabbit jumped up and down on the snow, heading towards the gate.
"Why is Secretary Su still acting like a child, stepping on footprints and playing when it's snowing? It's so cute." Mingcan couldn't help but joked as the car drove slowly behind Su Jinqi.
When Li Jinghan heard this, he subconsciously raised his head and looked outside, and sneered: "How cute is it? You're jumping around, it's so artificial!"
Mingcan smiled silently and drove past Su Jinqi.
The car made a creaking sound on the snow. Su Jinqi watched Li Jinghan's car leaving the courtyard. She felt envious and quickened her pace, walking towards the subway station in the snow.
Hurrying slowly, Su Jinqi used the last second to check in at the company and hurried to the General Secretary's Office.
"Secretary Su, you are here early enough!" Secretary Jin was holding a folder in his hand and was assigning today's work tasks to everyone. When he saw her coming in, he said sarcastically.
"Secretary Jin, I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." Su Jinqi didn't explain much and quickly returned to his work station.
Secretary Jin stared at her with a hint of hostility in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Su Jinqi's work is still simple and tedious. Apart from being in the printing room, she just runs errands in various departments, posts notes, and makes phone calls. The morning passes quickly.
During the lunch break, Su Jinqi followed everyone to the restaurant for dinner. There were seven or eight people in the General Secretary's Office, and they usually ate together at noon, chatting about company gossip, and having fun and relaxed.
At the long table, the secretaries chatted while eating. Su Jinqi was the least talkative among them. She had neither the heart nor the material to gossip, and she was just a quiet listener.
Suddenly, a call came from the mobile phone on the table. It was from Li Su'e. She frowned slightly and picked up the call.
"Hey, auntie." Su Jinqi put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked towards the window.
She could guess without asking that when her eldest aunt called, she would probably talk about the Li family's betrothal gift. With her colleagues around her, it wouldn't be good if she heard about it.
Sure enough, Li Su'e went straight to the topic as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Qiqi, did you talk to Mr. Li about the bride price last night?" she asked flatteringly.
Su Jinqi suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, covered the phone and whispered: "Auntie, Mr. Li and I are getting married in secret now. It's not appropriate to talk about the bride price."
"Why isn't it appropriate? Since you have registered, you are considered a member of the Li family. It's not right to pay the bride price." Li Su'e said with a smile, putting away all her previous meanness.
Su Jinqi took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Auntie, let me be honest with you. Mr. Li and I signed a one-year marriage agreement. After one year, we will divorce!"
Su Jinqi told her that she also wanted her aunt to stop worrying about the bride price and let her know that this was impossible. But unexpectedly, she didn't believe it at all.
"Qiqi, although I'm old, I'm not confused." Li Su'e said plausibly on the phone: "Your brother has already said that Mr. Li likes you so much, baby, it's not too late for you, why are you willing to take it?"
Divorce? Don’t lie to your eldest aunt!"
Do you like her so much? Su Jinqi laughed, how did I see that he was very precious to me?
"Auntie, I'm not lying to you. Mr. Li and I have no relationship, just a cooperative relationship. We will get divorced in a year."
Li Su'e laughed twice over there, but it was obvious that she was unhappy, "Qiqi, you just got married and your elbows turned outwards. Your uncle and I will raise your siblings."
For twenty years, if there is no merit, there is still hard work. Now it's time for you to repay your kindness, so you have to hold back. If you do this, how much will you make me and your uncle sad?"
Su Jinqi held her forehead and sighed. She obviously told the truth but didn't believe it. Now she was playing the family card again, which made her even more unable to resist.
Seeing that Su Jinqi was silent, Li Su'e continued: "According to custom, you have to come back in three days. You and Mr. Li come back together. The new uncle always has to meet his mother-in-law. By the way, I will have a good talk with the new uncle about the bride price.
matter."
When Su Jinqi heard this, he panicked and said hurriedly: "Auntie, he is busy with work and will not go back."
"You haven't said anything yet, how do you know he can't come back?" Li Su'e's tone became sharp.
"Auntie, why don't you believe what I say? He really won't go back with me." Su Jinqi said weakly.
Li Su'e smiled sarcastically on the phone and said: "Qiqi, aunt knows what you are thinking. Now that you have flown to a high branch, you are looking down on us poor relatives, right? You must have a conscience. Jincheng is still in the hospital now."
He's lying there, you have to accumulate virtue for him!"
What she said made Su Jinqi feel like she had done something wrong. The eldest aunt kept talking about family ties over and over again. She would definitely be angry if she continued to refuse.
"Auntie, don't say that. I don't mean to look down on you." Su Jinqi compromised, "Then I'll talk to Mr. Li today. I don't guarantee that he can go back with me."
"Tell me, tell me, he is so busy, he will definitely not remember things like returning home. After you reminded him, he came back with you happily?" When Li Su'e heard Su Jinqi agreed,
She became happy again.
After hanging up the phone, Su Jinqi let out a breath and felt worried about how she should open her mouth when she got back from get off work.
The afternoon passed in a hurry, and it was soon time to get off work. As the end of the year approached, there were a lot of activities in major shopping malls. After work, colleagues talked about which mall to go shopping. Su Jinqi had no financial strength and did not join in the fun.
, left the office quietly.
Today, she agreed to go to the hospital to see Jincheng, so she went to Jixiang Dumpling House to buy her brother's favorite dumplings stuffed with three delicacies, and took a car to the hospital.
"Ms. Su, I'm here to see my brother again." The nurses in the ward were all familiar with her.
Su Jinqi put a bag of fruit bought at the entrance of the hospital on the nurse's desk and said with a smile: "I don't have time to come during the day, thank you for taking care of me."
"Ms. Su is too polite." The nurse said, "Jincheng is in good condition these days. Doctor Xu said today that if surgery is not possible at the moment, discharge from the hospital can be considered."
