Chapter 25 A reward of 5 million, come with me, okay?
When Sang Qian came downstairs, Jin's mother was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Standing in front of her, Sang Qian was momentarily at a loss for words.
Calling her "Mom" was inappropriate, but she couldn't make her divorce from Jin Changyu public, and calling her "Mrs. Jin" was even worse. In the end, she simply ignored the form of address and asked, "You've arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Jin's mother looked up at her, a clear hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and gave a faint "hmm".
"Is there anything I can do for you today? Should I call Changyu back?"
Mrs. Jin put down her porcelain cup, frowned, and looked at her with displeasure. "Changyu has so many important things to do every day. If we have to call him back for everything, how busy must he be?"
Sang Qian knew that Jin's mother looked down on her, but even so, she still treated her mother-in-law with respect and deference for the past two years.
But upon hearing her admonition now, she no longer meekly accepted it, but instead asked in a calm tone, "So, what brings you here this time..."
"The day after tomorrow is the silver wedding anniversary of the head of the Cui family and his wife. The Cui family sent the invitations to the old house."
Jin's mother placed a gold-embossed invitation on the table, saying, "You and Changyu will attend the banquet the day after tomorrow night."
Sang Qian glanced at the invitation on the table and understood her intention.
Silver wedding anniversary banquets are usually attended by the couple together. Since Jin Changyu's father passed away early, it was only natural for the young couple to attend the banquet.
Sang Qian said, "I'll tell Changyu when he gets back tonight."
Jin's mother didn't say anything more, but when she got up to leave, she said to Sang Qian seriously, "You must always remember your identity. Although you and Changyu have moved out, as a daughter-in-law of the Jin family, you must abide by the self-discipline and rules that you should follow."
"It's outrageous to just stay home and sleep in. I hope I won't see this again next time I come."
Sang Qian didn't speak, but smiled politely, then turned to Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, please see Madam off for me."
"OK."
Aunt Li quickly stepped forward, "Madam, please."
Watching the person leave, Sang Qian sat down and, having nothing better to do, picked up the invitation and glanced at it.
A short while later.
Aunt Li returned and went to Sang Qian to comfort her, "Miss Sang, don't take Madam's words to heart, don't be upset."
"That's because Madam didn't know you were pregnant. If she had known, she certainly wouldn't have said that to you."
If Jin Changyu hadn't instructed her to keep their divorce and Sang Qian's pregnancy a secret, Aunt Li would have already spoken up for Sang Qian.
"Aunt Li, I didn't take it to heart, and I'm not unhappy at all," Sang Qian said with a smile.
"She was saying that the daughter-in-law of the Jin family should follow the rules, but I'm not one now."
What does it have to do with her?
Aunt Li, "..."
“But Aunt Li, next time she comes, if Jin Changyu isn’t home, just tell her that no one is home and you don’t need to call me down to greet her.”
Aunt Li nodded quickly, "Okay."
Sang Qian looked at the invitation in her hand.
The Jin family's affairs are none of her business, this banquet...
She will not be attending.
At around 6:15 p.m., Jin Changyu stepped into his home.
Seeing Sang Qian sitting on the sofa, looking down at her phone, he walked over and said, "Sorry, there was some traffic on the way today, so I got back a little late."
Sang Qian looked up at him and thought to herself: What does it matter to me whether you come back late or not?
Do I need to explain this to you?
She put down her phone. "Your mother came by this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu's expression froze, and he looked at her, "You...didn't say anything to her, did you?"
"Don't worry, I always keep my promises and I haven't said anything I shouldn't have."
Jin Changyu sat down next to her. "So what did Mom come here for today?"
"Send over the invitation." Sang Qian pointed to the invitation on the table. "She wants you to attend the Cui family head's silver wedding anniversary banquet the day after tomorrow."
Jin Changyu picked up the invitation, opened it, glanced at it, and then looked at the woman beside him, "Mom wants us to attend together, right?"
That's what she said, but I won't go.
Sang Qian met his dark eyes. "I only promised you that I wouldn't make the news of the divorce public, but I never said I would play the role of Mrs. Jin in front of outsiders or family."
"Of course, I don't think Mr. Jin lacks female companions to accompany you."
"Mr. Cui is celebrating his silver wedding anniversary, so it's impossible for me to bring any female companions other than my wife."
Jin Changyu looked at her, his tone inviting, "So, Miss Sang, could you do me a favor and come with me?"
Sang Qian refused outright, "No."
"Why?"
Sang Qian: "Because we have no friendship."
Jin Changyu: "What if there's a reward for helping out? Is that alright?"
"Even if there's a reward, I won't..."
"5 million."
Sang Qian hesitated before she could say no, "How much?"
Jin Changyu gazed into those bright and captivating almond-shaped eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing. "A reward of 5 million, will you come with me?"
Can you really earn 5 million just by attending one banquet?
Where can I find this kind of work?
Sang Qian couldn't help but be moved.
Although she has a considerable amount of savings, she has heard that raising a child is like feeding a money-devouring beast, so she needs to earn as much money as possible for her baby.
“Okay then.” Sang Qian raised her eyebrows. “Consider it as earning money for my baby’s formula.”
Jin Changyu smiled slightly, took out his phone and tapped a few times. A few seconds later, Sang Qian's phone rang.
She looked down and saw that 5 million had been deposited into her account.
"You paid so quickly?"
Not a deposit, but the full payment?
She looked at the man beside her in surprise.
Jin Changyu, "to show sincerity."
Sang Qian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "President Jin is very generous in his work."
Just now he was called Mr. Jin, but now that the money has been paid, he's called President Jin.
Jin Changyu smiled helplessly and gently patted her head. "Alright, let's go eat."
The sudden touch made Sang Qian freeze for a moment. In that instant, she was pulled up by someone and led towards the dining room.
Hearing the man ask Aunt Li in the kitchen to serve the dishes, Sang Qian snapped out of her daze, quickly pulled her hand away from his, and then went around to sit down on the other side of the table.
Aunt Li quickly brought the food to the table.
Jin Changyu glanced at the woman across from him, who was eating silently with her head down. "I heard from Aunt Li that you didn't eat breakfast today?"
Sang Qian looked up at him, "?"
Does he need to get involved in this matter too?
“You’re pregnant now, so you need to eat regularly,” Jin Changyu said gently.
"Starting tomorrow, I will have a nutritionist plan your meals. From now on, you must eat three meals a day on time, understand?"
Sang Qian instinctively wanted to refuse his arrangement, but then she thought that having a nutritionist plan the baby's diet would indeed be good for the baby's development.
"good."
The nutritionist he arranged must be excellent; she wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse resources that are beneficial to the baby.
