Chapter 89 Don’t be too greedy
While at work, apprentice Xiao Jiang clicked on the news that "Master Lu and Miss Jiang were both four hours late for their engagement party" and held it in front of Li Qingqing.
"Qingqing, look at this Young Master Lu. He looks like your boyfriend."
Every time Lu Yan sent Li Qingqing to work, he was sitting in the car, so his colleagues at Qingjian Pavilion had never seen his specific appearance clearly, but even just a rough look at his side profile could tell that Lu Yan looked extremely noble.
Li Qingqing had not seen the photos of Lu Yan and Jiang Xueyao's engagement ceremony yet. She glanced at the title quickly and her heart suddenly felt empty.
Things that originally existed only in her mind suddenly broke into her heart, making her unable to avoid them. Her whole heart felt like it was torn apart and almost could not heal.
She calmly withdrew her gaze and replied calmly as if nothing had happened: "Really?"
Seeing that she had no interest in discussing this topic, Xiao Jiang put his phone away awkwardly.
In the afternoon, when there were few customers in the store, Li Qingqing clicked on the news again for some unknown reason.
As if to torture herself, she clicked on the picture under the title.
In the photo, Jiang Xueyao is smiling like a flower, showing her happiness to the camera.
The man standing next to her was only a silhouette, tall and slender, with blurred eyebrows and eyes that made it impossible to see any expression, but it was enough to make her heart in turmoil.
"Reluctant?"
Wei Qingming always appears at the right time.
"No." Li Qingqing quickly put away her phone.
It was obvious that she was really hurt this time. Wei Qingming stopped teasing her and turned to leave the kitchen.
After get off work in the evening, Li Qingqing walked towards the subway station in a daze. An extended Lincoln stopped beside her at some point.
Because the car was too conspicuous, Li Qingqing couldn't help but stop and took a look inside the car. She found that it was actually an acquaintance.
Song Jihe rolled down the car window, revealing an elegant face wearing sunglasses. He was nearly fifty years old, but looked like he was less than forty.
"Miss Li, would you like to have dinner together?"
Li Qingqing glanced at her, and her lost mood was relieved a little. In just two seconds, she understood why Song Jihe came to see her.
She did not make things difficult for Song Jihe. She nodded at her, opened the car door and got in.
The car drove onto the main road and stopped in front of a luxury hotel ten minutes later.
Li Qingqing lowered her head and followed Song Jihe silently, just like when she was a nanny in her house, respectfully.
After crossing the hall, Song Jihe took her into an elegant private room. The hotel waiter skillfully took Song Jihe's new Chinese-style jacket and Hermès bag, and knew at a glance that she was a regular here.
After sitting down, Song Jihe was the first to speak: "Where is Miss Li now?"
This sentence was simply a deliberate mockery of her. How could she wait for her on her way home from get off work without even knowing where she worked?
That's right. After all, her first impression in Song Jihe's mind was that of a nanny, and her current job probably wasn't that high-level in her eyes.
Li Qingqing replied respectfully, "I'm working as a pastry chef now."
She kept her brows pressed against her chest and didn't look at Song Jihe, because she always looked at her with contempt. She seemed to be talking to you in a friendly manner, but in fact, she was full of disgust in her bones.
"Oh? How much does a pastry chef make a month?"
Song Jihe spoke to her in a perfunctory manner, which made Li Qingqing very disgusted. If there was something to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush?
"Mrs. Lu, please tell me directly if you have anything to say. I will try my best to cooperate within my ability."
Seeing how understanding she was, Song Jihe didn't hesitate any longer and went straight to the point and said to her:
"I guess you've heard about A Yan and Yao Yao's engagement. I hope you can disappear from Lu Yan's world in the future, and it would be best if you leave Haicheng. Of course, I will give you some money as compensation for leaving Haicheng."
When Song Jihe found out that Lu Yan's lover was Li Qingqing, she was a little surprised, but what surprised her even more was that Lu Yan jumped into the sea for her.
Leaving this time bomb of her in Haicheng would add an extra threat to the marriage between Lu Yan and Jiang Xueyao, which neither family would allow.
Especially the Jiang family. If they knew that there was someone like Li Qingqing, her life would probably be in danger.
The reason why Song Jihe came to see her in advance was because they had some acquaintance, and it might be more convenient for her to talk to him.
Besides this, there was another reason, which was that Song Jihe always felt that there was something very familiar about Li Qingqing...
She herself didn't know the specific reason, but she still hoped that Li Qingqing would listen to her and leave Haicheng to start a new life, which was also for her safety.
Li Qingqing looked at the bank card pushed across the table, still with her eyebrows lowered.
"Aunt Song, I won't take this money, and I won't leave Haicheng. Although my job may not seem so respectable to you, it is still my job, so I won't leave here."
"Of course, I can agree to your request that you not appear next to Lu Yan again. I have broken up with him, and I am not the type of person who would stalk him. If I were to encounter him on the street, I can't guarantee anything. After all, I don't have the ability to predict the future. I just want to defend my right to live and work normally as an ordinary person. I have no obligation to deliberately avoid anyone."
Li Qingqing's words have made it very clear that she is a living person and should not live under the threat of others.
She also specifically changed the way she addressed Song Jihe from "Mrs. Lu" to "Aunt Song."
When she worked as a nanny in her house, it was reasonable to call her Mrs. Lu, but now that she was on the same level as them, she naturally changed her name to "Aunt Song".
Song Jihe was of course unwilling to give up. "Don't be so stubborn, kid. The two million in this card is enough for you to live a good life. Don't be too greedy."
She just thought that Li Qingqing was negotiating with her in a roundabout way and thought she wanted more money.
Li Qingqing snorted in her heart, "Aunt Song, I think I've made it very clear. I don't want this money, whether it's two million or one hundred million. I just want a simple life and a simple job. Everything else has nothing to do with me."
"One hundred million?" Song Jihe heard something from her words.
Li Qingqing didn't want to hide it from her, so she told her everything frankly.
"That's right. A week ago, Lu Yan gave me a bank card with 100 million yuan and a large flat in the city center, but I refused. Now, can you believe what I said?"
Li Qingqing looked at her with a firm gaze, letting her know how petty she had been just now.
Song Jihe didn't expect that this poor little girl could have such courage, and he immediately stopped.
At this moment, the cell phone she placed on the table rang.
Li Qingqing glanced subconsciously and saw the two words "Ayan". Her heart suddenly skipped a beat uncontrollably, and then she immediately looked away.
