"He's not going away. He's my boyfriend, he..."
Xu Jing said, "If he runs away with the money, you'll cut ties with us. Do you think you can keep your job? Your fate won't be much better than a beggar, will it?"
Li Yuhe didn't believe a word he said.
"If it weren't for you, I would have married him long ago. I would have lived a life that others envied, without having to worry about money. Look at my clothes. I'm still wearing my old clothes, while they all wear better clothes than me. You obviously have the ability to support your sister, so why are you stingy with me?"
Li Yuhe grabbed his collar and said, "You've made money, so why don't you let me live a good life? It only took a word from you, but the result allowed me to hold my head high in the government. Why didn't you help?"
"Comparisons are endless. I can compromise for a piece of clothing today, and I will compromise for a house tomorrow. What you ask for is never yours. Only your abilities are yours. Do you understand?"
Xu Jing pried her fingers apart, pulled them down, and let go. "If you depend on me, you'll always be inferior to me. Do you think you can rely on my mood? I don't owe you anything."
"Li Heng, you..." Li Yuhe lost her patience. She couldn't bear to hear any more of this. "Give me 10,000 yuan, and I won't ask you for more later, okay? 10,000 yuan is a good deal to buy off family ties."
"Blood is thicker than water, sister, how can you not understand this?"
"I don't care. If you don't give me the money, I'll make trouble. You have a good relationship with Qin Chuan, right? If you don't want others to know about your relationship with him, just give me the money."
A greedy person will not stop just because someone has cheated him. She has been like this from the beginning. Even without Zhou Jie, there are Zhang San and Li Si. No matter which one, they cannot hide her true nature.
She was stuck in a vicious circle and there was no way out.
"Whatever you want." Xu Jing didn't care. "No one would think I have anything to do with him, except you."
"Li Heng. Believe it or not, I will poke the sky in the dark if Dad finds out that you like a man. Believe it or not, you won't even be able to go to college!" Li Yuhe started to cry while laughing.
"Brother, I don't want to go against you. I just want the money. Give it to me and I won't bother you anymore, okay?"
"No." Xu Jing flatly rejected her request. "I said I have nothing to do with Qin Chuan. Before you touch me, think about whether you can bear the consequences of touching me."
"What do you mean?" Li Yuhe's face darkened.
"I found this job for you. If you don't want to go back to hard labor, just give it a try."
"Li Heng, you are so cruel." He immediately grasped Li Yuhe's weakness. Who would be willing to give up a job that pays well and is easy?
"You can try, but I believe you'll regret it." Xu Jing whispered in her ear: "Guess how many years Zhou Jie will be sentenced to?"
"What do you mean, you want to send me, your sister, to jail?"
"Fourth sister is really smart." Xu Jing said expressionlessly: "Defaming others is also a crime. If you don't want to go to jail and ruin your life, then give it a try."
"You are absolutely crazy!"
Li Yuhe looked at her brother, who had grown up with her, and found him to be just as cold-blooded as she was. Perhaps they had all thought too simply of him; he had always been selfish. It was just that she had always held high expectations of him, which had led her into a misunderstanding.
Calm down.
Li Yuhe took a deep breath and said, "Please lend me some money for business."
"How much do you want? What kind of business is it? Do you want to write a promissory note?" Meeting her angry eyes, Xu Jing remained unmoved.
"Sister, I am a businessman through and through. I won't do business that will lose money."
"You still remember that I'm your sister." Li Yuhe was about to say something when the taxi arrived.
After opening the door and pushing the person in, Xu Jing said, "Think it through before you answer. Don't have any crooked ideas, or I'll make sure you don't survive in Xiaoguang County."
"Li Heng, am I your sister?"
"Let's talk about interests and forget about family affection. Didn't my sister say that we can buy off our sibling relationship for 10,000 yuan? If that's the case, are feelings that important?"
Take a deep breath and make sure you calm down.
Li Yuhe looked at the scenery outside the window, her heart in a mess. A lot had happened today, and she didn't even know how to speak.
"By the way, you and Qin Chuan..."
Is the air conditioner on? Why did the temperature drop so suddenly?
Li Yuhe turned around and saw her younger brother's sinister eyes. There was really no warmth in them. The calmness during the dangerous incubation period scared her.
"I'm just talking nonsense. I would never say nonsense if you didn't block my way."
Li Yuhe muttered a few words to himself, as if talking to himself, and then relaxed. "Little brother, I really don't know what to do. Can you help me?"
When coercion and bribery fail, you start playing the emotional card?
It also depends on whether people believe it or not.
Xu Jing said nothing. He waited for the taxi to arrive at its destination, paid promptly, and then closed the door. He said, "Think about it carefully," and turned away.
"Damn it, that brat is becoming more and more outrageous." Li Yuhe immediately put away his pitiful expression and looked sinister.
No, she must get the money out.
She couldn't live her whole life in humiliation.
Xu Jing gave Li Yuhe two days to think it over. After two days, Li Yuhe gave him an incredible answer.
"You want to open a bakery?"
"Yes." Li Yuhe nodded. "I like this."
"Have you done the market research? Do you have the skills?"
Li Yuhe said: "I don't need to know how to do it. I can hire someone to do it. I work in a government agency. It would be nice to have my own store to maintain my income."
"Ten thousand doesn't seem to be enough for the salesperson, cake maker, and store expenses."
Xu Jing said: "Well, I have a business to recommend to you."
"What?"
"A newsstand sells magazines and newspapers. All it takes is one person."
This is also a good idea, but the revenue is not very optimistic. "Are there any other ideas?"
"There's a stationery store next to the school, but they want you to quit your job and go there. Which one would you choose?"
Obviously, she'd choose part-time over full-time income. A government job is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but if she works hard and passes the civil service exam, her income will improve significantly. As for the newspaper stand, it's just a transitional tool. Once she finds a boss or passes the civil service exam, she can do whatever she wants.
"Okay, I'll borrow 10,000 yuan from you, and you have to fix it for me."
Xu Jing shook his head. "I don't owe you anything. You wrote me an IOU asking for money. Whether it's a profit or a loss is none of my business. I'll just ask you to pay me back when the time comes. Ten thousand yuan, two percent interest. You'll pay me twelve thousand yuan when the time comes."
"So much?" She felt pained paying back the money. "Are you my brother?"
"Brother, let's settle accounts clearly. Fourth sister, do you want this money?"
