Li Ke ran back to her residence and quickly hid in her room to change clothes.
Li Yan and Li Ming only saw their sister holding a bag and rushing in like a gust of wind. Before the siblings could react, their sister had already slammed the door shut.
"Second sister, what happened to the eldest sister?"
Li Ming asked with concern.
Li Yan said, "Sister said she was going to rent a dress, and she should have come back with it, but the time is up, so Sister probably needs to change clothes urgently. Brother, go outside and see if the Third Young Master is back. I'll go in and see Sister."
The Third Young Master went to the Lu family tonight to attend the engagement banquet of the Fourth Young Master Lu on behalf of the Eldest Young Master and his wife. He paid for her sister to be his female companion, but it was actually a shield, and Li Yan knew it.
She also knew that her sister was actually unwilling to do it, but the third young master ordered it and gave her overtime pay, so in order to earn more money, her sister gritted her teeth and agreed.
Li Yan saw that her sister worked hard and made a lot of sacrifices for her and her brother. She told herself that she must study hard and get admitted to a key university to repay her sister's efforts.
"good."
Li Ming stood up and walked out.
Li Yan came to the door of the room and knocked on it.
"Sister, can I come in?"
"I didn't lock the door."
Li Ke has changed into a dress. The rented dress is not as good as the ones she wore before, but it can handle the situation.
The dress she chose was not very nice-looking, but she did it on purpose. After all, she was there to act as a shield, so she couldn't stand out too much and steal the limelight from others.
If you meet someone like Ellie, you will easily be targeted and ridiculed.
Li Ke just hoped that the evening party would go smoothly and he could get overtime pay when he came back.
Li Yan pushed the door open and walked in. She saw her sister had changed into a dress and was combing her hair. She walked over, took the comb from her sister's hand, and helped her comb her hair. She asked her sister, "Sister, do you want to put your hair up?"
"I don't wear my hair in a bun anymore. I've sold all those head ornaments. It won't look good without them. I'll just use a hairpin to hold it up."
"I'm not the eldest daughter of the Li family anymore. I don't need to care about those things. As long as I don't embarrass the Third Young Master, that's all."
Li Ke kept her mission tonight in mind. If anyone set their sights on the Third Young Master, she would act as his female companion. If no one approached him, she would block his drinking. Fortunately, she had a good alcohol tolerance.
Can make more money.
"Even if I'm not Miss Li anymore, I'm still the Third Young Master's female companion. No matter what the meaning of a female companion is, I represent the Third Young Master's reputation. I need to dress up carefully. I can put my hair up without those head ornaments."
"If I put on some light makeup, I'd look even better."
The style of the dress is not very trendy or good-looking, but my sister is naturally beautiful, with a good figure and temperament. With a little dressing up, she becomes a real beauty.
"No need to put on makeup. Xiaoyan, what is my status now? Accompanying the Third Young Master to the Lu family would easily cause misunderstandings. If I dress up, others will definitely say that I am trying to seduce the Third Young Master. Although we are down and out now, we cannot lose our backbone. We can be poor but not poor in spirit."
"I am extremely grateful to the Third Young Master, but I have never thought of him."
Li Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Sister, the Third Young Master is very good, and all the men in the Jun family are very good. If I had the chance to marry into the Jun family, I would be very happy."
Li Ke turned around, took the comb back from her sister's hand, and said to her seriously: "Xiao Yan, don't say this to me a second time. I don't like to hear it, and I won't do it. As a person, you should know your own limitations and understand your own limitations."
"The Third Young Master has helped us so much. He can be said to be our savior. What we need to do is repay him, not plot against him. Also, I'm planning to start my own business. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to get back on our feet."
"We don't have to pin our fate on others. You shouldn't have that kind of thought either. You know, we couldn't even reach the Jun family before, and we're even less so now. If you have those little thoughts, people will only look down on you."
Li Ke was worried that her sister, who was just beginning to fall in love, would also like the young master of the Jun family.
The tenth young master of the Jun family is only one or two years older than her sister. She doesn't want her sister to take shortcuts in order to escape her current fate of poverty.
"Once I buy the shop, we'll move out of Fengchen Villa. You and I will be living on campus anyway, so you can just stay at my shop for a couple of days on weekends and squeeze in."
In order to prevent his younger sister from coveting the young master of the Jun family, Li Ke planned to start his own business and move out of Fengchen Villa with his younger siblings.
If you stay away, there will be no chance.
Li Yan's face flushed red, "Sister, what are you talking about? I have never seen the other young masters of the Jun family except the eldest and third young masters."
She and her brother mostly stayed within the territory of the third house and did not dare to move around, so they never saw the other young masters.
She simply thought that her sister was a good person and the men in the Jun family were also good people. If her sister could marry into the Jun family, she would be very happy in the future.
Her sister has sacrificed so much for her and her brother, and her biggest wish is that her sister can marry a good man and live a happy life, not like their biological mother.
"Besides, I'm still a student, and I'll be a senior soon. It's the final sprint stage. How could I possibly think about anything else? Sister, don't worry, I will never do anything to embarrass you."
Li Yan assured her sister.
Li Ke helped her sister comb her hair and sighed, "Xiaoyan, if my business goes well and you graduate from university, our conditions will improve. You'll be able to find a man who matches you. Marriage should be between people of equal social status."
"Sister, I'm only a little old, it's too early to talk about that now. Sister, the teacher sent a notice in the group chat, saying that we will return to school on the 3rd of next month, which is still a week away."
Li Yan changed the topic to distract her sister.
"I have already prepared the tuition fees in advance. I will accompany the Third Young Master to the Lu family now. Tomorrow, I will help you pay the tuition fees. The Third Young Master can go back to school directly for extra classes."
For senior high school students, school starts earlier than for students in other grades.
"My overtime pay tonight is enough to cover your food expenses for two months. By the time your brother starts school, I'll also be paid. Our lives will gradually get better. You and your brother don't have to worry about tuition. Just study hard and get into a good university. That will be the best way to repay me."
"Sister, elder sister."
Li Ming trotted in.
"Sister, the Third Young Master is waiting for you outside. He asked me to tell you to hurry up."
"I'm fine now."
Li Ke picked up the hairpin, grabbed her long, smooth, black hair and pinned it back, then changed into a pair of mid-heeled shoes, said a few words to her younger brother and sister-in-law, and hurried out.
Jun Li was waiting for him in the main house.
He didn't change his clothes, because he always wore a suit during the week.
Seeing Li Ke come in, Jun Li frowned.
