Chapter 310 He's Richer Than You Think
This question stumped Jiang Wang.
Yeah, what's he doing here?
He can't exactly say he came for them, can he? What about his reputation then?
"What else could I be here to find someone for?" Jiang Wang said irritably. He had a bad day with Bai Yi last time and was angry for a long time afterward.
Jiang Wang thought this woman would come looking for him soon, but now that he saw her with Wang Ye and talking about marriage, he was even angrier.
"Oh, then we won't disturb Young Master Jiang's search."
Bai Yi said those words and then led Linlin into the mall.
Jiang Wang stood there, bewildered in the wind, his anger simmering but with nowhere to vent it.
He didn't actually like Bai Yi that much; it was purely his competitive spirit and possessiveness that were at play. If he were to make trouble for Wang Ye, it would make it seem like he cared a lot about Bai Yi, which would only make him more of a laughingstock.
Qiao Xing saw that he looked pale and unsure whether to go over or not.
Fortunately, a fight didn't break out.
Jiang Wang scratched his head and turned around to see Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, a little nervous. Would he take his anger out on her?
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then took two steps to Qiao Xing's side and asked, "When did they get together?"
"Um, around today?"
"What the heck?"
Qiao Xing explained, "Just today, Team Leader Bai went to his cousin's house for dinner and met his parents."
"Have you met their parents yet?"
"Yes, that's right."
Jiang Wang's face darkened even further.
Qiao Xing asked tentatively, "Young Master Jiang, you won't miss Team Leader Bai, will you?"
"Pah!" Jiang Wang bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up. "I have thousands of women, why would I be reluctant to part with her? What a joke!"
"Oh, that's good." Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, Team Leader Bai can finally live a good life with my cousin from now on."
Jiang Wang glanced at her sideways, his expression unreadable, neither angry nor speechless.
"Tch, it's just a brothel reforming, what's so special about that?" Jiang Wang said, then turned and walked out.
Fortunately, Bai Yi and the others had gone far enough away that they didn't hear Jiang Wang's words, which were truly awful.
Qiao Xing also secretly decided that she should have less contact with people like Jiang Wang in the future.
She hailed a taxi on the roadside to go home; it was almost time to cook.
With only two days left of the holiday, Qiao Xing felt that the holiday had passed by in the blink of an eye, and he had no idea how it had gone by.
There wasn't much going on at home these past two days; everything was peaceful. She spent her time chatting with the old man and playing games, and that was how the days passed.
There were red envelopes to receive on the first day of work, so Qiao Xing got up early. Qin Ce was still asleep, so she didn't disturb him.
But to her surprise, the old man got up even earlier than her, and when she came out, she saw him teasing the birds on the balcony outside.
Qiao Xing greeted him and went to the kitchen. After making breakfast, she wanted to call Qin Ce, but he came out before she even entered the door.
"You're up right on time. I just finished cooking and you came out. Are you going to work today?"
It's obvious that Qin Ce has been working from home these past few days; he goes to work every day, it's just a matter of whether he goes to the office or works from home.
He had gone to bed very late last night, so he was still a little dazed. As usual, he hugged Qiao Xing, rested his head on her shoulder, and kissed her on the cheek.
"work."
Qiao Xing stiffened, nudged him, and whispered, "What are you doing?"
"What's wrong?" He didn't let go of Qiao Xing.
"Grandpa is here."
Qin Ce was slightly taken aback. He turned around and looked back. The old man was focused on teasing the bird and seemed not to have seen the two of them being affectionate.
But the old man's expression was wrong; he was laughing, and it was a mocking laugh.
He can't exactly laugh at a bird, can he?
Qin Ce silently released Qiao Xing, "I'm going to work today."
Qiao Xing glanced at his face, almost laughed, but held it back. "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, it's time to eat."
After Qin Ce went to the restroom, Qiao Xing called the old man over for dinner.
After the old man came over, he took out two red envelopes from his pocket. "Xingxing, these are New Year's red envelopes for you. Please accept them."
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised, "Isn't the New Year already over?"
"It's not over yet. It's not over until the fifteenth. Hurry up and take it."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Qiao Xing didn't expect to receive red envelopes at her age. Not wanting to refuse the old man's kindness, she reached out and accepted the two large red envelopes.
But when she felt the thickness of the red envelope, her heart skipped a beat. "Grandpa, how much red envelope did you put in?"
"It's not much, keep it safe. If you give Grandpa another great-grandson, Grandpa will wrap up an even bigger one for you."
Qiao Xing's hand trembled as he held the red envelope. They were even talking about having children. It seemed the old man was desperate for a great-grandchild.
Qiao Xing felt embarrassed to open it and take a look, but it wouldn't be right to return it either, so he could only accept it for now. If it was too much, he could buy some things for the old man later.
Before she could even reply, Qin Ce stepped in and saved her from her predicament.
After dinner, Qin Ce drove her to work.
Sitting in the car, Qiao Xing handed him his red envelope.
Qin Ce declined, saying, "You keep it for me."
"I want to open it and take a look."
"Just open it."
Qiao Xing smiled, opened the red envelope, and saw a thick stack of cash inside, which made her mouth drop open.
She took out the money and looked at it. It was brand new and all consecutively numbered. She counted it and there were exactly eighty-eight bills. Eight thousand eight hundred.
"This is too much." Qiao Xing felt unworthy of it. The old man was getting on in years and didn't have much income. He had given the two of them such a large red envelope. She felt it would be better to find a way to return it.
Qin Ce said, "Keep him. He's richer than you think."
"That's money for the elderly to retire. Every little bit spent is a little less. We're still young, and we can earn more if we spend it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ce gave a cryptic laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
"His retirement savings are probably more than mine."
Qiao Xing disagreed, "Of course, after all, it's Grandpa's life savings. You still owe money, so it's definitely more than you."
"Yes, you're right."
Qiao Xing put the money back; it wasn't safe to carry so much cash on her, so she put the red envelope in the car's storage compartment. "Remember to get it later, I've left it here."
When are you going to take your driving test?
Qiao Xing had forgotten that she had a car gathering dust in the parking lot. She thought for a moment and said, "Let me take a look."
"Stop looking, let's do it this weekend."
"Alright."
When the car arrived across from the company, Qiao Xing reminded him again before getting out of the car not to forget the red envelope in the car.
This car isn't his. It wouldn't be good if someone else drove it, saw the red envelopes inside, and took them.
"Okay, go quickly."
Qiao Xing nodded, picked up her bag, and got out of the car.
She saw Manager He at the company entrance, and Manager He gave her a red envelope.
No more, no less, two hundred yuan.
When Qiao Xing arrived at the department, he thought he had gone to the wrong place.
She stepped out and glanced down the corridor; people from other departments were also coming to work, so she hadn't misremembered the date.
So, she won't be the only one coming to work today?
