Chapter 91 Didn’t Dare to Refuse

He Xiaohui brought two toy balls into the master bedroom without anyone noticing.

Glancing at He Xiaohui's toy ball, Jiang Yining felt an urge in her heart. She really wanted to take a toy ball and stuff it into He Chi's mouth.

Jiang Yining pulled the quilt up and covered his head. A buzzing voice came from inside, "He Chi, why don't you sign up for a cooking class? At least for now, this is more practical."

He Chi thought he had escaped the opportunity to learn how to cook, but now that Jiang Yining asked him to do so, he didn't dare to refuse.

Aunt Zhang took a month's leave and returned to her hometown.

So now there is no one to cook for him and Jiang Yining.

In a situation like today, it’s not a good idea to ask the aunt from the housekeeping center to come to our house.

After thinking for a moment, He Chi said, "I'll take advantage of the seven days of National Day to have some free time. I'll ask Teacher He to teach me how to cook a few simple dishes and eat for free."

When He Chi went to the cloakroom to change clothes, Jiang Yining received a message from Zhang Qiao: "Ningning, I got the compensation today. I'll treat you to a meal when you're free."

Jiang Yining was happy for her and asked: [Did the process go smoothly?]

Zhang Qiao: [Manager Shit originally wanted to struggle, insisting desperately that it was me who caused the project to fail, but it was thanks to Boss Song that he sent his assistant over.]

She sent another message: [Also, another colleague of mine was fired, the one whose husband is a lawyer. If we had gone to court, we would have waived the legal fees. The shitty manager got scared and didn't dare to fight us. After I got the compensation, I gave him a good scolding and I felt much better.]

Jiang Yining remembered that he had asked Lawyer Liu to help him draft a gift transfer agreement before.

The air conditioner is set a little low. I felt hot when exercising before, but now I slowly feel a little cold.

Jiang Yining curled up in bed and typed: [Qiaoqiao, is your senior sister's studio hiring?]

Zhang Qiao replied: [Yes, they are planning to expand the studio, so I brought my colleagues over and poached a few capable people from the team.]

Her senior sister asked her to reconsider becoming a partner, and Zhang Qiao also told Jiang Yining about it.

She was still hesitant: "If I join, I'll have to ask my parents for money. They've worked hard for most of their lives to save, and I'm still unsure about how much I'll get."

Jiang Yining thought for a moment and asked her: "Do you want me to talk to He Chi and ask him to lend you some money?"

Zhang Qiao refused without a second thought: "No, I can just sell the house I live in now. It's okay. I'll talk to my parents in a couple of days."

Her senior sisters and their colleagues built the studio in three years, and she also believed in her senior sisters and her own abilities.

She had to think carefully before asking her parents for money.

Zhang Qiao is now full of energy: "Once we get hired, we're going to take down our old company. Damn it, we've got so much pent-up anger that we don't know where to vent it."

Jiang Yining sent her a cheering emoji and asked her: "My cousin is getting married tomorrow, do you want to come?"

Zhang Qiao said: [My cousin is getting married tomorrow too, why are they all trying to go tomorrow?]

She could imagine her parents attending her cousin's wedding banquet and then coming home to urge her to find a boyfriend.

He Chi came out of the cloakroom and saw Jiang Yining curled up in a ball, unwilling to get up and use the remote control to adjust the temperature.

He found the remote and turned the temperature up a few degrees. "Dinner will be here soon. I'll go get it."

Jiang Yining nodded under the quilt, her phone was about to turn off.

Unable to find the charging cable on the bedside table, Jiang Yining hurriedly poked his head out from under the covers and shouted at He Chi's back, "He Chi, help me get the charging cable. I need to turn off the phone."

He Chi asked her, "Where?"

"On the sofa in the living room."

He Chi went to help her get the charging cable and helped her charge her phone.

After He Chi went out to get the food, Jiang Yining slowly got out of bed. When she stood on the ground, her legs were shaking slightly and she had no strength at all.

Jiang Yining didn't know if it was because of hunger that she had low blood sugar, or because...

After dinner, Jiang Yining brought out two big red envelopes. She had previously attended a colleague's wedding banquet and gave a gift of 500 yuan.

But Du Yingzhe is his cousin, so he definitely cannot give him a gift in this way.

Jiang Yining was feeling worried when she looked up and saw He Chi coming back from taking out the trash. She asked He Chi to come over and asked him, "Do you think 3,000 yuan is enough for each of us to give as a gift?"

He Chi glanced at the two red envelopes in her hand and asked, "Why should we give them separately? Shouldn't husband and wife share one red envelope?"

"Want to put it together?"

Jiang Yining didn't know either, but after thinking about it, she decided to do as He Chi said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

He Chi had attended a few wedding banquets. In their circle, giving a few thousand yuan as a gift would be considered stingy. Generally, gifts were given in bulk, and the value of the gifts could easily reach hundreds of thousands of yuan.

“Isn’t that a bit too little?”

Jiang Yining knew that this amount of money was not considered money to He Chi.

She said, "We haven't had the wedding yet. If we give too much to my cousin and his wife, they'll feel pressured in the future. It's a matter of reciprocity. Whatever you give, they'll probably give back in return."

He Chi nodded and said, "Put ten thousand in there."

He went back to the bedroom, took out a card and handed it to Jiang Yining, "My high school classmate just opened a confinement center."

"After having dinner with them last time, he gave me one, saying it would be useful after we have a baby."

This classmate of his has started a business several times, but failed every time. Fortunately, his family is well-off, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt long ago if he had been doing this.

"Go to your cousin's wife privately and explain to her that it was a gift from a friend and we don't need it."

He Chi said in a leisurely voice, "Maybe his confinement center would have closed down by the time we gave birth."

Jiang Yining sat on the sofa, and He Chi stood beside her. After hearing what he said, she slapped his hand and said, "Just say this at home, don't say it outside."

He Chi couldn't help but laugh when he saw how serious she was. "When he gave us the card, a classmate said it to him in front of us."

Jiang Yining: “…”

My aunt cannot help take care of my cousin's wife during her confinement period. If my cousin's wife likes to go to a confinement center for confinement, this is also a good choice.

The next morning, Jiang Yining took He Chi back to his uncle's house first, and then followed them to the hotel.

She and He Chi sat next to Du Sheng and Ying Yun, and Gu Xiaoyue's family also sat at the same table.

With Ying Yun around, Jiang Yining and He Chi didn't have to deal with anything. They waited for a long time before they saw the bride enter.

The hotel was decorated in a romantic and dreamy way. The moment Jiang Yining saw the bride, he smiled and said, "My cousin is so lucky. My cousin's wife is so beautiful."

Du Yingzhe has been dating Gu Xiaoyue for so many years, but this is the first time Jiang Yining has met her.

Hearing Jiang Yining's words just now, He Chi tilted his head towards her and said, "Then I am more fortunate than Du Yingzhe."

Fortunately, no one noticed her and He Chi. "No one is prettier than the bride today."

Gu Xiaoyue was seen walking slowly towards Du Yingzhe with her father's arm around her.

Jiang Yining leaned over to He Chi and whispered, "When we have the wedding, I want my uncle to replace my dad, and I won't invite him to the wedding."

He Chi certainly had no objection. He asked, "Should we hold the wedding next year?"

There is no time to prepare this year.

Jiang Yining originally didn't plan to hold a wedding because she thought that her marriage to He Chi was sudden and they had no experience of getting along.

But now, she raised her eyes to look at He Chi, with a smile as bright as stars in her eyes, and said, "Okay."
