Li Ke heard Mu Qing say that the people attending the business cocktail party were all small and medium-sized bosses in City A, so there was no need to worry about meeting Jun Li at the dinner.
He accepted the invitation and thanked Mu Qing, saying, "Thank you. I will definitely attend the dinner."
"Well, go and join us, sign more orders, make more money, and pay off your debts sooner. Although it's impossible for you and Jun Li to be together, I still hope you can pay off your debts sooner so that you can feel more at ease."
If it were her, burdened with so much debt, she would also feel under great pressure and would have no energy or mind to talk about love.
I don’t want to implicate others.
Mu Qing can understand Li Ke now.
"If there are any banquets or events suitable for you to attend in the future, I will help you get an invitation and create more opportunities for you."
Li Ke was very grateful for Mu Qing's help.
Mu Qing said to her, "Don't thank me so much. I treat you as a friend. We are friends and friends should help each other whenever we can. It's too awkward for you to thank me so much. If you keep thanking me, I'll get angry."
"Okay, okay, I'm not polite. I won't be shy."
Li Ke quickly surrendered, knowing that Mu Qing really regarded her as a friend.
"How's the Third Young Master doing with his blind date? Are they in a relationship?"
Mu Qing did not mention the matter between Jun Li and Miss Ke on her own initiative, but Li Ke asked about it instead.
Mu Qing asked her with a smile: "Why, do you care? Are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous. This is the result I wanted. Why should I be jealous?"
Li Ke said it frankly.
Even though she felt sad and upset, she could face it calmly. As she said, this was the result she wanted.
Mu Qing stared at her, seeing that she looked calm and didn't avoid looking at her. She sighed in her heart, it seemed that Li Ke had really given up on Jun Li.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to be so calm and not mind Jun Li's blind date at all.
"You, I don't know what to say to you. You and Jun Li were almost clear about your relationship, but suddenly you're back to square one. No, it's even worse than square one. Jun Li is so pissed off by you, and it's only because you run fast that you can always avoid him. Otherwise, if he caught you, I really don't know if he would do something to hurt you in his rage."
Li Ke was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm no longer worthy of him. No, I've never been worthy of him. Ever since the Li family went bankrupt, there's been a huge gap between him and me. He should find a better girl."
"Not to mention that I'm burdened with so much debt right now, and I have my younger siblings to support with their education. Any man who marries me will be burdened. Marrying me is like marrying my younger siblings as well. They'll have to help me raise them and support their education."
"Besides, my mother has two underage siblings. If my stepfather were gone, she would definitely find me and ask me to help raise them. Even if I might not agree to her, in the eyes of outsiders, my two half-siblings would be a burden to me."
"It's stressful for me to carry all the bags by myself, because I'm their older sister. But I can't be so selfish as to let the Third Young Master carry all the bags with me. I did like him, but after not seeing him for so long, I think my feelings for him have faded a lot."
"I guess that's how the Third Young Master feels about me. As long as he and Miss Ke are in a relationship, I'll be able to let it go completely. I won't have to worry about him affecting the Third Young Master's life because of me."
Mu Qing looked at her for a long time and said, "Jun Li treats Miss Ke very well. They often go out together now. I think they are in a relationship. Jun Li always takes Miss Ke with him when he goes to social events."
"After a while, he will probably bring Miss Ke back to Fengchen Villa. You, you pushed a good man into the arms of someone else, and now you are just waiting to drink in his wedding wine when he marries someone else."
Li Ke smiled and said, "I can only say that he and I are not destined to be together. If the Third Young Master gets married and is willing to send me an invitation, I will definitely attend their wedding and drink a glass of wedding wine. I wish him and his wife a long and happy life and a son soon."
"Don't wish him a son soon, wish him a daughter soon. He said he likes daughters and wants to have one. Miss Ke also said she likes daughters. The future blueprints they both painted are quite similar."
Hearing Mu Qing's words, Li Ke's heart was stabbed hard.
Have they even discussed having children?
Li Ke felt stabbed in the heart, but she didn't show it on her face. After taking over the carton factory and becoming General Manager Li, she had developed a thick skin. Unlike before, all her thoughts were written on her face. Now she can even lie without blushing or breathing hard.
Others can no longer see through her thoughts through her expression. She has become too thick-skinned and no one can see through her thoughts.
"That's right. Everyone in your family likes girls. I wonder if Yanyan can have more girls in her generation."
The Jun family has daughters, but they are very few. There is almost only one girl in each generation.
By the time Ye Junbo came of age, there wasn't even a single girl.
Fortunately, Mu Qing gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but for the Jun family, daughters were still too few.
All the married men in the Jun family hope that their wives will give birth to a girl.
Mu Qing smiled and said, "That's right. Everyone loves their daughter. My daughter has been the center of everyone's love since she was born. I'm really worried that she will be spoiled in the future."
"No, Xiao Yanyan is a well-behaved child, and her personality is very much like that of the eldest young master."
Li Ke still couldn't change the way he addressed the sons of the Jun family.
"She's still young, so you can't tell. I have to keep an eye on her and not let her get spoiled."
Li Ke's phone rang again.
After she finished the call again, Mu Qing said to her, "Li Ke, you are very busy, so I won't bother you anymore. Let's have dinner together another day when we are free. Remember, we will always be friends."
"good."
This time, Li Ke readily agreed to have dinner together when he was free.
She walked Mu Qing out of the office and then to the factory gate. She waited until the car Mu Qing was in drove away before she turned around and went back into the factory.
Little did she know that as soon as Mu Qing left, she called Jun Li. When Jun Li answered the phone, she said to him, "I asked your eldest brother to get Li Ke an invitation to a business dinner next Friday night. The attendees are all bosses of small and medium-sized companies. You can handle it."
Jun Li said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Next Friday, right? I'll go find my eldest brother now and ask him to get me an invitation as well."
"You don't need an invitation, do you? With your status, if you go uninvited, they'll just be happy."
Mu Qing teased her brother-in-law.
People of the Jun family's young master's level usually wouldn't attend that kind of dinner.
The young master of the Jun family only talks about big business.
