Li Ke saw Jun Li frowning and thought it was because he was late, so he apologized hastily: "Third Young Master, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
Jun Li frowned even more tightly and said: "The banquet hasn't started yet, you don't need to apologize. It's your dress. You said you wanted to rent a dress, so you rented a dress like this? It doesn't look good at all. It doesn't look good at all."
Very old.”
Even if she was captured by him as a shield, she couldn't go there wearing an old dress.
"If you think the rent for a good dress is too expensive, tell me and I will pay the rent for you."
Jun Li also knew that Li Ke's wallet was tight. The senior high school student was about to go back to school. With the little money she had to pay the tuition fees of her younger siblings and start a business, she was even more nervous. He could understand her frugality, but she could totally follow him.
Said it clearly.
After listening to Jun Li's words, Li Ke knew the reason for his frown.
She lowered her head and looked at the dress she was wearing, and said, "Third Young Master, I think my dress is pretty good, it's not too old, and the style is still wearable."
Dresses in bridal shops are often rented for use. Generally speaking, the styles will not be eliminated so quickly.
Jun Li is too picky, and he is the third young master of the Jun family. The women in his family wear dresses tailored by famous designers when attending banquets.
This is incomparable to the dresses in bridal shops.
Jun Li still disliked Li Ke's dress. Even though her temperament and appearance were outstanding, he still didn't like that his temporary female companion wore a dress that was too old and accompanied him to Lu Si's engagement wine.
He stood up and said to Li Ke: "Follow me."
Li Ke yelled, and after he walked away, she kept a one-meter distance from him and followed him out of the main house.
After Jun Li took Li Ke out of the main house, he called his elder brother as he walked.
After Ye Junbo answered his call, he asked: "Brother, are you and your sister-in-law still at home?"
Let him go to the Lu family instead of his brother and sister-in-law, who wanted to go on a date.
"What's wrong? We're getting ready to go out."
"Wait a minute, I want to buy a dress with my sister-in-law."
Jun Li didn't say borrow it. He had lent his sister-in-law's dress to Li Ke and she wouldn't wear it again. So he simply spent money to buy a new dress from his sister-in-law and gave it to Li Ke to wear to accompany him to the Lu family.
Anyway, my sister-in-law has more dresses than she can finish.
Li Ke was a little anxious when he heard that Jun Li was talking to Ye Junbo on the phone.
The eldest mistress's dresses are very expensive. If the third young master buys them for her to wear, will he deduct all of her overtime pay tonight? If deducting all of it is not enough, he will also deduct all of her salary...
...My younger siblings have to pay their tuition and food expenses.
Both her younger siblings went to private schools. After the Li family went bankrupt, Li Ke also considered helping her younger siblings to transfer to another school. But she was afraid that transferring in the most critical year would affect her younger sister's college entrance examination, so she gritted her teeth and let her younger siblings continue to attend private schools.
After selling all her previous luxuries, she could barely afford to pay for several years of tuition.
If she wants to start a business, she may have to ask the third wife to invest too much. She will also be under more pressure. She cannot let the third wife lose money in her investment, so she has to work hard.
The economy was already tight, and Li Ke was really unwilling to ask her to spend money to buy an expensive evening dress.
Jun Li was still on the phone with Ye Junbo, and it was hard for Li Ke to interrupt. After Jun Li ended the call, Li Ke quickly tugged on Jun Li's sleeve.
"Third Young Master."
Jun Li turned to look at her, and he knew what was going on by looking at her expression. He said, "I'll give you overtime pay, and you won't be deducted. The dress my sister-in-law and I bought will be regarded as the work clothes I gave you. I will definitely do it in the future."
There will be times when I need you, and the dress won’t cost you any money, so don’t look like I’m cutting your flesh.”
After all, I was once a eldest lady.
Thinking of Li Yongtai's scum and the current Mrs. Li's bad deeds, Li Ke may not have been rich when she was the eldest lady, and Jun Li understood that she looked like she had been cut off.
Li Ke: "...will you accompany the Third Young Master to banquets in the future?"
"Why, my mother wants to invest in your business. Now that you have a backer, you don't like the overtime pay I give you?"
"No matter how much money you have, who cares about too much? The more the merrier is for me. The third young master is my great benefactor. He has helped my siblings so much, and I can't repay him in return. In the future, when the third young master needs me to work overtime, even if
Tell me."
"As long as I can make money and it's a serious matter, I'll be happy to help the Third Young Master."
Jun Li looked at her, always feeling that her words were harsh, but let him refute them, he didn't know how to refute her.
She was telling him frankly that if he wanted her to do something inappropriate, she would not agree to it.
He was also worried that she would have a crush on him because of his status and the help he had given her, and he was thinking about development. He was overly concerned. If she hadn't been in trouble now, she would have wanted to break up with him.
Clear the line.
Well, for such a smart woman, he doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble.
"Let's go, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are leaving soon."
Li Ke hummed and followed him again.
When she arrived at the main room of the center, Mu Qing was already waiting. When she saw two people coming in one after another, she smiled and said to Li Ke, "Li Ke, I will take you upstairs to choose a dress."
After Li Ke glanced at Jun Li, he meekly followed Mu Qing upstairs.
Mu Qing took Li Ke into the cloakroom where she kept dresses. She pointed at the dresses on the right and said, "These are all new. I haven't worn them yet. Some are bought by me and some are customized. You can choose whatever you want."
.”
The dresses on the left were worn by Mu Qing, and most of them were given to her by Ye Junbo.
Her husband gave it to her, but she would not sell it to the third child.
Li Ke randomly picked out a suit. Every one of Mu Qing's dresses was excellent. She didn't have to choose, as long as it fit well.
"I think my dress is pretty good, but the third young master is picky and insists on me changing into another one. He thinks the dress I rented is not good-looking and old."
She was there to help the third young master keep his drink, but she was not a real female companion.
There is really no need to wear a dress that is too good, as it would be too eye-catching.
Li Ke could even foresee that after she changed into Mu Qing's dress and followed Jun Li to the Lu family, ridicule would be inevitable after someone recognized her identity.
She rented an older dress because she wanted to be as low-key as possible so that no one would recognize her.
"Your dress is a bit old."
Mu Qing smiled and took the dress she chose from Li Ke's hand, looked at it, and said to Li Ke: "Put it on and show me."
Li Ke went to change clothes.
While she was changing clothes, Mu Qing helped her pick out a few more outfits. Thinking that the one Li Ke chose was not suitable, she changed into a few more outfits.
A few minutes later.
Li Ke came out of the fitting room.
Mu Qing's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Ke from head to toe, and praised: "Li Ke, you have a good foundation. After changing into a dress, you look completely different. You look noble and generous now."
