When Jun Li was mentioned, Li Ke's expression became gloomy.
She said, "I don't want to drag him down. We don't have a deep relationship. A short pain is worse than a long one. If I continue to associate with him, even if he doesn't say anything, he won't despise me, but I will put pressure on myself and always feel that I am not worthy of him."
"He would also give me money to help me pay off my debts, which made me feel that I was with him just for the money, like a transaction, as if he was helping me pay off my debts and that was why I was dating him."
Chu Mu said, "Young Master Jun San is not that kind of person, and his family wouldn't think that of you. You've lived in Fengchen Villa for so long, and you're familiar with his sisters-in-law. You know what kind of people his family is like."
"I always feel that it's unfair to the Third Young Master Jun if you do this. How do you know he's happy for you to do this for him?"
Li Ke said, "Maybe he'll be angry, even hate me, blame me. But after a while, he'll let it go, and that'll be fine. With my current earning power, it'll take me at least four years to pay off the debts I owe, and even longer, five or six years."
"Before the debt is paid off, I don't want to think about marriage, so as not to drag others down. Jun Li is not young anymore, and I can't make him wait so long for me because of my own affairs. Let him be angry and resentful as he wants."
Li Ke thought that she and Jun Li had not even started their relationship. They just had some interest in each other and were not officially in love yet. If she avoided Jun Li, Jun Li would be angry. She believed that he would soon not care anymore.
She has persisted for a while and has seen some results. Now Jun Li comes to see her less often. She can't give up all her efforts.
Chu Mu was about to say something when Mu Qing and Yang Xi came in together.
Seeing the two people come in, Li Ke greeted them with a smile.
Mu Qing reached out and gently poked her forehead, saying to her, "If I hadn't seen your car parked inside the factory, would you have still turned us away? Li Ke, how have we wronged you? You have to avoid us like this, stay away from us, as if you had never known us at all."
Li Ke quickly explained: "No, the two young ladies are my friends and my benefactors. They have helped me so much. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. How could I avoid you, let alone pretend not to know you?"
"I'm too busy to have tea with you two, so I thought I'd invite you out for a get-together after I'm done with this."
Li Ke would never admit that he was avoiding the two eldest young ladies.
Mu Qing scolded her but didn't insist on it. Both sides were tactful enough not to mention what the security guard had said.
The two young ladies greeted Chu Mu again, and then sat down in Li Ke's small office at the invitation of Li Ke and Chu Mu.
The carton factory's business had improved significantly. Li Ke was too busy, so she hired two clerks. One was responsible for calculating wages and answering calls, and the other was responsible for following up on production orders. This way, she could be more relaxed and didn't have to follow up on everything.
This way, she wouldn't have to deal with any small matters at the factory when she's on a business trip.
The office clerk was very perceptive and poured a glass of warm water for each of the two young ladies.
Mu Qing and Yang Xi, the two eldest daughters of top wealthy families, are already well-known in City A. They have been married into wealthy families for such a long time that they have firmly established their positions as eldest daughters and integrated into the upper class circle, but they are still approachable and do not put on airs.
For a small factory and a small place like theirs, the two young ladies came to visit in person.
Of course, it also gives their new boss face.
"My two young ladies, I have things to attend to, so I'll leave first. If I'm free another day, I'll treat Mr. Ye, Mr. Ouyang, and the two young ladies to dinner."
Chu Mu knew that the two young ladies came to see Li Ke because of Jun Li.
He made an excuse to leave.
"Okay, let's wait for Mr. Chu to treat us to dinner."
Mu Qing responded to Chu Mu with a smile.
Knowing that Chu Mu has helped Li Ke a lot during this period, a brotherly relationship has been established between the two.
After Chu Mu left, Mu Qing picked up her cup of warm water and drank it while looking at Li Ke.
Li Ke felt uncomfortable being looked at by her and couldn't help but say to her: "Madam, please don't look at me like that. It makes me nervous. I always think I put my clothes on backwards."
"Stop calling me Madam Young Master, just call me by my name. You're flustered because you're guilty, and that's why you're afraid of me looking at you."
Li Ke smiled bitterly, "Mu Qing, stop teasing me. I know you came here for the sake of Third Young Master Jun. No need to say more. When I resigned, I told you very clearly that I don't have the time or mood to think about love affairs now. I just want to make money."
Mu Qing didn't say anything, so Yang Xi said, "Can't you talk to Jun Li face to face? Li Ke, avoiding the problem won't solve the problem. This is not your way of doing things. We can help you, but you don't want us to help you. If you miss Jun Li, you will regret it."
After a long silence, Li Ke said, "I don't regret it."
Even if she regretted it, she admitted it.
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. Third Young Master Jun and I are not destined to be together. We didn't even start, and since there's no beginning, there's no end to it. Mu Qing, go back and tell Third Young Master not to come looking for me anymore and to forget me."
Mu Qing looked at her for a long time and said, "Okay, you've made up your mind. I won't try to persuade you any further. I'll tell the Third Brother about your words. Perhaps what you did is right, but you have to avoid the Third Brother. You can't avoid me and Yang Xi as well."
"Are we still friends? Li Ke, in my heart, I treat you as a friend, and never as a servant."
Mu Qing didn't come here to persuade Li Ke. Li Ke was very stubborn now and she couldn't persuade him.
Jun Li and Li Ke’s issues should be resolved by themselves.
"If you need any help, be sure to ask. Friends help each other. Look at you, it's only been a short time, and you've lost so much weight. You need to earn money to pay off your debts, but you also have to take care of your health. Good health is the capital of revolution."
Mu Qing advised, "You should think about your brothers and sisters. You are their sky and the pillar of your family. If you fall, what will happen to them? Li Ming is still a junior high school student."
Li Ke kept nodding her head. She wanted to speak, but because she was so moved, her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't speak. She could only keep nodding her head.
She is unfortunate.
But she is lucky.
It was her luck to know Mu Qing and others.
"Actually, I didn't come here today to persuade you to be with Lao San. I just came to see you and want to know how you're doing. In your words, if you and Lao San don't have a beginning, there won't be an end. He came to look for you several times and couldn't find you. His self-esteem was damaged, and he probably won't come again in the future."
