Chapter 19 Girlfriend Wants to Leave an heir for her ex-boyfriend who's been imprisoned (2)
"Aren't you annoying? People are taking a nap."
A familiar voice came through the microphone. Even through the screen, Changqing could feel the other person's impatience. He couldn't help but picture Li Qingzhou frowning and pouting.
In the past six months, his girlfriend went back to her hometown. At first, the original owner would call her every day, but Li Qingzhou was very annoyed by this and never had a good attitude. Only on payday would she say a few words to him in a pleasant tone.
Later, the original owner would only make a phone call every few days, and the conversation was mostly the original owner talking, with Li Qingzhou occasionally responding with a few "uh-huhs".
That's too perfunctory.
Changqing took a deep breath, suppressing the nausea in his heart.
"Zhouzhou, I just miss you so much."
His voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't mention the post on his WeChat Moments.
This was the opening line the original owner often used.
The voice on the other end became a notch sharper:
"Yan Changqing, can you stop being so childish? You only care about your own feelings, calling and harassing people during their rest time in the middle of the day?"
"Waaah!"
Perhaps it was because her voice suddenly became louder that frightened the child beside her, Changqing clearly heard the child suddenly burst into tears.
Then, it seemed someone came in and took the child out.
But before he could ask any questions, Li Qingzhou continued.
"Look what you've done, you've scared my little nephew!"
Holy crap.
Changqing had to admire his reaction speed; no wonder he treated the original owner like a dog.
"I……"
He had barely opened his mouth when the other person interrupted him again.
"If you have free time, find a part-time job and save enough money to renovate the house as soon as possible."
"Do you want me to still be renting an apartment after we get married?"
The house that the original owner's parents bought for him did not have a mortgage, but he did not have a good relationship with his parents and did not tell Li Qingzhou the details. Li Qingzhou took it for granted that his family had paid the down payment.
Of course, houses in the provincial capital are not cheap either; even a down payment requires three or four hundred thousand yuan.
Hearing this, Changqing almost laughed out of anger.
How dare they talk about marriage?
how?
Are they not going to care about the newborn baby?!
He felt like he couldn't help but swear.
Hold on.
It's not time to completely break ties yet.
After taking another deep breath, his tone became more ingratiating.
"Zhouzhou, I will work hard. I just received my year-end bonus yesterday..."
"How much was sent?"
The sound from the microphone was much softer.
"Twenty thousand yuan."
Changqing told the truth that when the original company settled the project, the project team received a bonus of 20,000 yuan at the end of the year.
"That's not bad."
Over the microphone, Li Qingzhou offered a rare compliment, followed by a sigh in the tone of a head of the household.
“Changqing, we’ll have a lot of expenses in the future. The wedding dowry is just one aspect. There’s also the mortgage, buying a car, renovations, and the banquet. You’ve been spending money extravagantly for a while now, so it’s time for you to be more sensible.”
Tsk, is this implying something?
Changqing sneered inwardly.
But he didn't show it on his face at all.
He even clicked his tongue in disbelief.
"Buy a car? Isn't buying a car part of the bride's dowry?"
Shouldn't a dowry of 300,000 yuan include a car?
There was a few seconds of silence on the microphone before a cold laugh came through.
"Hehe, Yan Changqing, you really have a good plan."
"My parents raised me with great difficulty, and you..."
This time, Changqing interrupted her directly, his voice sounding more urgent.
“Zhouzhou, that’s not what I meant. I was thinking that my uncle has been hospitalized for so long with a cerebral infarction, and I haven’t done anything to help. Now that it’s the end of the year and I have annual leave and a bonus, I thought I’d come and visit you.”
His words clearly caused a moment of confusion in the conversation; Changqing even heard the phone fall to the ground. After a while, Li Qingzhou's voice, feigning composure, came through.
"You, you haven't already arrived in Rongcheng, have you?"
Sometimes, when the original owner wanted to surprise her girlfriend, she would do things on a whim. She was genuinely worried that if Changqing came, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, the person on the other end chuckled softly.
"Without your permission, how could I dare to act on my own?"
Thank goodness.
Li Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
You don't need to come.
Her voice was righteous and indignant.
"Once your house is renovated and you've saved up enough for the bride price, let's go home together."
we?
The original owner would probably be overjoyed to hear the words "Let's go home together," but Changqing knew perfectly well that this was a case of scolding followed by a sweet treat.
However, he hadn't planned to go to Li Qingzhou's house anyway, so it didn't matter to him.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife. We'll save this money for renovations and the bride price!"
After saying that, he slammed the phone down.
On the other side.
Li Qingzhou was stunned when she heard the dial tone on the phone.
Banquet at Changqing.
He actually hung up on her?
This has never happened before.
“Zhouzhou, did your Changqing send you money? Come on, let’s go to a postpartum care center. To be honest, I never knew a baby could cry so loudly. I couldn’t sleep in the next room.”
Li Qingzhou's best friend, Zhang Xiaoqin, came from another room, holding her child whom she had finally managed to soothe to sleep, looking exhausted.
The two have been best friends since childhood and have no secrets from each other.
Although we both work in the provincial capital, one is in the north of the city and the other in the south, and it takes two hours to get there by subway.
Yes.
Li Qingzhou did not return to her hometown. After giving birth, she moved into her best friend's house.
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoqin's words, Li Qingzhou's face stiffened.
She was still shocked by the fact that Yan Changqing had hung up on her for the first time, and only now did she realize what had happened.
Goodness.
What did he say?
Listen to your wife and save your year-end bonus for home renovation and dowry.
In an instant, her face turned completely ugly.
Banquet of Everlasting Green!
What exactly does he mean by that?
How can home renovations and dowry come at the cost of lowering her standard of living? In the past, bonuses and other allowances were always transferred directly to her!
"Hey, are you stupid? Pregnancy really does make you stupid for three years."
Zhang Xiaoqin walked over, placed the child in the small cradle in front of Li Qingzhou, and then sat down next to her.
“Although we are good sisters, I have to work and don’t have time to take care of you and the child every day. I don’t know how to make chicken soup or anything like that. I’m exhausted these past few days and haven’t been able to sleep well at all.”
The two were close friends and always spoke their minds directly. Li Qingzhou knew that her best friend was telling the truth. The child was really too noisy. Not to mention her best friend who had never been a mother, even she, as a mother herself, found it a bit unbearable.
“But Changqing said he needed to save money for house renovations and dowry, so he didn’t give me any money.”
Li Qingzhou stared at the little one in the cradle, her face full of worry.
Asking someone for money?
That doesn't fit her public image at all.
Moreover, recalling Changqing's words, he realized that she was simply echoing what he had said. If she were to ask for money now, wouldn't that make her seem contradictory?
cunning.
Men are all the same, none of them are any good!
She couldn't help but feel angry.
