The thing Li Qingqing regretted most was probably selling her first time to Lu Yan...
Chapter 90 Let Her Live a Good Life
Song Jihe picked up the phone, and didn't seem to want to avoid Li Qingqing.
"Hey, Ah Yan."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, but it sounded calmer and hoarse.
"Mom, let her live a good life and don't disturb her anymore."
Hearing this voice, Li Qingqing's heart began to beat uncontrollably again. She adjusted her sitting posture slightly, trying to make herself look more natural.
Song Jihe put his ear to the phone and looked up at her intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that she tilted her head slightly, as if she was deliberately avoiding the call.
"You really think your mother is some unforgivable villain. I didn't come to her today just because of you and Yaoyao. She used to be our nanny. As an elder, I'm here to give her some advice, not to harm her. She's so noble that she doesn't even want 100 million."
Song Jihe said this and glanced at Li Qingqing opposite him.
Li Qingqing was on pins and needles at this moment, not because Song Jihe mocked her for being hypocritical in front of her, but because Lu Yan's words made her not know how to deal with herself in front of Song Jihe.
"She's not aloof. She has her own beliefs and integrity. You may not understand that. I didn't understand it at first either..." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. "...In short, please stop testing her with money."
Song Jihe lost her temper after hearing what her son said, especially now that she knew that Li Qingqing could refuse even 100 million without hesitation, she couldn't help but look at her with some admiration.
She reached out and silently took back the bank card with two million yuan and put it in her bag.
"Okay, I won't be involved in your affairs with Yaoyao anymore. But you should also be careful not to let others catch you with anything. I don't need to emphasize to you what methods Mr. Jiang has, right?"
Song Jihe understood her son well. Once he made up his mind, no matter how others tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
There was a deep breath from the person on the other end of the phone, and even Li Qingqing on the other side heard it.
"...I'll pay attention. I can handle my own issues. Please go back and tell your husband so he doesn't come back to me again."
Song Jihe coughed lightly and scratched his forehead with the corner of the bank card.
"……knew"
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Yaoyao is coming home for dinner tonight, so remember to come back early."
Lu Yan didn't reply on the other end of the phone, and two seconds later only a "beep" sound was heard.
"This child is still so rebellious even though he's so old."
After a phone call, the dishes were served.
Li Qingqing felt that Song Jihe should understand what she meant, and there was no need to continue the meal, so she said to Song Jihe, "Auntie Song, if you don't have anything else, I'll go back first."
As she said this, she stood up and was about to leave.
Song Jihe called her, "You heard it just now. There's a family dinner at home tonight. It's not appropriate for me to eat here now. These dishes are already served. It would be a waste if I don't eat them. Please eat them."
As she said that, she stood up and prepared to leave. The waiter standing outside the door was very considerate and brought Song Jihe's coat, opened the door and waited at the door.
When Song Jihe passed by Li Qingqing's seat, he patted her on the shoulder, meaning that she could eat with peace of mind.
The door of the box closed, and only Li Qingqing was left inside. She stared at the dishes on the table for a long time, and finally picked up the chopsticks.
A dish of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots on the other side of the table inexplicably caught Li Qingqing's attention. She took it and took a bite. Hmm, it had a familiar taste, almost the same as what she cooked herself.
This suddenly reminded her of when she went to the Lu family to interview for a nanny position a few months ago, and she cooked this dish at that time.
It was this dish that helped her become the Lu family's nanny, and later she and Lu Yan had another encounter...
Li Qingqing started crying while eating. She didn't know why she was crying, but she just felt very sad, very sad...
Especially since she heard his voice again just now, she felt as if she was in another world.
After eating, she packed up the remaining dishes, without wasting anything. She didn’t have to cook tonight, so she let Shen Lu eat this.
…
A week had passed uneventfully, and today Shen Lu had a rare opportunity to rest with her.
The two agreed to go shopping in the mall. On the second floor of the mall, when they passed by a bridal shop, Li Qingqing saw a familiar figure.
With just a quick glance, she caught sight of him.
There's no way around it. He's so tall and slender, and so handsome that it's hard not to notice him when you pass by.
He was accompanying Jiang Xueyao to try on a wedding dress, sitting on the sofa beside her, looking lazy and not in high spirits.
While he didn't notice her, Li Qingqing dragged Shen Lu away in shame.
After running out of the mall, Li Qingqing emerged from the water, gasping for breath.
"Are you okay, Qingqing?" Shen Lu asked her, looking at her red eyes and breathlessness.
Li Qingqing shook her head. "...I'm fine. The air conditioning in the mall is turned up too high. It's a bit stuffy..."
It is mid-December now. The cold air arrived exceptionally early this year. I don’t know when a few snowflakes fell from the sky. This is already the third snowfall this year.
The heavy snow from the past two days is still piling up on the honeysuckle trees on the roadside, and today there will be a thick layer of snow again.
Shen Lu shrank his neck and put on the scarf he had just taken off again.
"Then let's go back. The clothes this year are all so ugly, bright red and green. I don't know who's buying them. I think we should go back to Taobao."
"Yeah." Li Qingqing nodded obediently.
As long as I can leave here now, I can go anywhere.
The two planned to take the subway back, but as soon as they arrived at the subway station entrance, they saw a notice notifying them that the subway had stopped operating.
Helplessly, the two could only go to the roadside to hail a taxi, but in the snowy weather, getting a taxi on the weekend was almost impossible.
Looking at the long queue of waiting numbers on the online car-hailing app, Shen Lu's heart was colder than today's weather.
"We're not going to freeze to death outside today, are we?"
Shen Lu's legs were numb from standing so much that he began to twist his body to keep warm.
“It shouldn’t be…” Li Qingqing didn’t know when they could get a taxi back, so she just subconsciously comforted Shen Lu.
After a while, a black Cullinan stopped in front of the two of them.
The car window slowly lowered, and a noble and handsome face was reflected against the pure black background of the interior.
Just one glance and Li Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.
While she was trying to determine whether this was a coincidence or intentional, the man in the car spoke first, his eyes still fixed on her.
"Let me give you a ride. You won't be able to get a taxi in this situation today."
