Li Ke hadn't slept yet. She was calculating the money she had spent on opening the beauty salon.
After school started in September, all the younger siblings went back to school. The two of them lived on campus, so now Li Ke was the only one there.
Li Yan is a senior high school student and can only go home once a month. Li Ming comes back once a week. Every Friday afternoon, Li Ke will borrow Aunt Wan's car to pick up his brother from school.
She thought that once the beauty salon business got on track, she would rent a two-bedroom apartment outside, closer to the school and the beauty salon, so that her younger siblings would be able to come home more conveniently.
You can't always live in Fengchen Villa.
“Knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the door. Li Ke stopped counting and asked, "Is that Aunt Wan?"
It was so late, and the only person who would knock on her door was Aunt Wan.
Today is the hundred-day party for the twins, a boy and a girl. Everyone is very busy. After the party, I guess everyone will take a shower and go to bed.
"It's me."
Aunt Wan responded.
Li Ke hurried to open the door. When she saw Aunt Wan, she asked with concern, "It's so late, Aunt Wan is still awake?"
"You didn't sleep either."
Aunt Wan responded with a smile, then asked Li Ke, "Are you busy?"
"I'm not busy, so it counts. What's wrong?"
Aunt Wan looked around the room and said, "The Third Young Master is looking for you. He wants you to come over. He's a little drunk, and I don't know why he wants you to come over. Li Ke, if the Third Young Master wants to take advantage of you, you'd better be careful."
She was worried that Li Ke would not dare to resist because of Jun Li's identity.
After Li Ke understood the deep meaning behind Aunt Wan's words, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly said, "Aunt Wan, I know, and the Third Young Master would never take advantage of me. He is a gentleman."
The men in the Jun family are not the kind of people who would do anything indiscriminate after drinking.
The fourth young master acted recklessly after drinking because his drink was spiked with drugs and he was being plotted against.
"Men are easily impulsive after drinking. I'm just reminding you." Aunt Wan would not suspect that Li Ke wanted to take advantage of her. She could see that Li Ke had no interest in Jun Li.
Of course, Jun Li doesn’t have that intention towards Li Ke now.
If that's the intention, Aunt Wan would be happy to fan the flames behind the scenes and bring the two of them together.
The elders of the Jun family don't care about their daughter-in-law's background. What they value most is her character. Li Ke's character is okay, but her background... If Li Yongtai hadn't gone bankrupt, it wouldn't be bad.
However, Li Yongtai and his wife have bad character.
Mrs. Li was the mistress who took over the position. After taking over, she was not good to the three children left by the original wife. Li Yongtai trusted his second wife and was not good to his two daughters. He even thought about selling his daughters to pay off his debts. It was because of Li Yongtai's bad behavior that Jun Li saved Li Ke once.
The two people have had intersections since then.
Well?
Aunt Wan realized that she had been thinking too much and quickly pulled her thoughts back to her senses. She said to Li Ke, "Go and see what the Third Young Master wants you to do."
"Okay, I'll be there now."
Li Ke listened to Aunt Wan's reminder, but didn't take it to heart.
She believes in Junli.
Li Ke turned around and put away his account book before following Aunt Wan.
A few minutes later.
She entered the main house but didn't see Jun Li. She turned around and asked Aunt Wan who had followed her in, "Aunt Wan, where is the Third Young Master?"
"He was sitting on the sofa just now. Did he go upstairs?"
Aunt Wan thought that if the Third Young Master went upstairs to his room, Li Ke would not need to take care of him. She was about to let Li Ke go back to rest when she heard the sound of vomiting coming from the bathroom on the first floor. The two of them looked at each other and knew where Jun Li was.
Jun Li was not very drunk, but he still vomited. He vomited for a long time and felt so weak that he felt better.
He is the person in charge of all the hotels under Fengchen Group. He usually has a lot of social engagements. He can drink quite well, but maybe it has been a long time since he got drunk. Now when he gets drunk, he feels very uncomfortable, has a headache, and vomits.
Jun Li came out of the bathroom and saw Li Ke and Aunt Wan. He walked towards the sofa and said, "Li Ke, go make me a bowl of hangover soup. I feel so uncomfortable."
Next time there is a party at home, he will definitely not drink too much.
I was so happy today, and with all my brothers gathered together, I drank too much.
"Okay, I'll go make a bowl of hangover soup for the Third Young Master now."
Li Ke hurried into the kitchen.
Aunt Wan came over and poured Jun Li a cup of warm water, saying to him, "Third Young Master wants some hangover soup. Just tell me and I'll make it for you. There's no need to bother Li Ke so late at night."
Jun Li replied to her: "Your cooking skills are not as good as Li Ke's."
Aunt Wan choked and said, "The Third Young Master has always had a good alcohol tolerance, but he got so drunk tonight. He should drink less in the future. He has a lot of social engagements, and drinking all the time is harmful to his health."
Jun Li took the glass of warm water and took two sips before saying, "I usually only drink a few sips when I'm entertaining people. I rarely drink too much. I was happy today, and since everyone is back, I drank a few more. It's all my fault, Big Brother. He took out his collection of fine wine, and the more I drank, the more addicted I became, and I ended up drinking too much."
Aunt Wan said, "Which of the wines on the young master's wine cabinet is not good? The more you drink good wine, the better it tastes and the easier it is to get drunk."
Li Ke quickly cooked the sobering soup and came out with the bowl of steaming hot soup.
"Third Young Master, the hangover soup is ready."
She placed the bowl of sobering soup in front of Jun Li.
Jun Li looked up at her intently. Li Ke was a little confused by his gaze and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that, Third Young Master?"
"Li Ke, I've come up with a great idea that will help you make more money and also benefit the development of your beauty salon. I wonder if you're interested in working with me?"
Li Ke and Aunt Wan: "..."
Aunt Wan was still having wild thoughts, but she never thought that her third young master had no bad intentions at all.
Alas, she would rather the Third Young Master had some bad intentions, at least it showed that the Third Young Master was still interested in women.
Li Ke asked, "Third Young Master, please tell me about the project you want to collaborate on first, and let me know if we can cooperate."
If her beauty salon wants to develop, she must first increase its visibility. Once business is good and she makes money, she can expand the salon or open branches.
She needs to make friends with more rich men's wives or daughters.
In fact, many of the women she knew before came from well-off families. However, after she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Li family, those people, like Ellie, cut off contact with her, fearing that if they continued to contact her, they would be targeted by people like Brother Qiang.
Those are not real friends.
Li Ke was a little angry at first, but now he has let it go.
She didn't even want to hate Ellie. There was no need. She should be grateful to Ellie. If Ellie hadn't taught her a hard lesson, she wouldn't have known that Ellie had always been jealous of her, nor that her first love was that kind of person.
Ellie's behavior made her realize that the person who stabs you in the back is often the one who knows you best.
