Chapter 191 Silly Nephew
After that, he looked at Ji Zixuan again: "You have one too, one dollar each!"
One dollar, and it was private money. How tempting was this to Ji Ziang!
One dollar can buy ten pieces of candy.
If you eat it sparingly, it can last for ten days!
Thinking of this, Ji Ziang swallowed again.
Looking at Ji Ziang's useless appearance, Li Yong curled the corners of his mouth with confidence.
However, who would have thought that Ji Ziang would shake his head and say, "No, I can't lie to my mother for money. You must have done something bad to bribe me with money. I'm going to tell my mother!"
The smile on Li Yong's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Ji Ziang in disbelief.
What? This silly nephew doesn't even buy into this?
Seeing this, Ji Zixuan looked at Ji Ziang with relief.
"Think carefully, how many candies can you buy with one dollar? Do you think it's too little? I'll give you another one!" Li Yong said with a hardened heart.
Ji Ziang endured the pain and shook his head: "No, I can't lie to my mother, especially for money!"
Even this doesn't work? Li Yong could only look to Ji Yuanyuan for help.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it, leaned over to Ji Ziang's ear and whispered something.
Ji Ziang's eyes suddenly widened. He raised his hand and took the money from Li Yong's hand: "Uncle, I promise you!"
Li Yong was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Ji Yuanyuan leaned over to Ji Zixuan's ear and said something.
Then, Ji Zixuan looked at Li Yong eagerly.
Li Yong reacted quickly. He endured the pain, took out two one-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan took the money and thanked him politely: "Thank you, second uncle!"
Li Yong looked at Ji Yuanyuan, his face almost crying.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled: "Uncle, I don't want it anymore."
Hearing this, Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Ji Yuanyuan's head and kissed her on the forehead: "You are really my niece!"
After being happy, he became curious again: "What did you say to them? Why did they agree?"
"As long as they don't talk, it doesn't count as lying!" At most, it's just knowing the truth but not reporting it!
"What if your mother asks?"
"Leave it to me!" Ji Yuanyuan patted his chest, "But second uncle, this is only this time. I won't be able to help you next time!"
Li Yong made a bitter face and picked up the bicycle again: "Got it!"
Before they could return to the store, they ran into Zhang Kun who came to pick them up on a tricycle.
Seeing Li Yong, Zhang Kun asked curiously, "Why are you with them?"
Li Yong said quickly: "I went to do something near the villa, and thought the three of them must be there, so I picked them up on the way."
Zhang Kun didn't doubt it. He looked at the three of them lovingly and said, "Come up quickly, let's go home!"
When Li Xu got home, she saw Li Yong and looked puzzled: "When did you come?"
Li Yong quickly explained, using the same words he had said to Zhang Kun: "I came here in the morning to do something with my former colleagues. I happened to pass by Uncle Qin's place in the evening, so I picked them up and met my brother-in-law on the way."
Li Xu was picking vegetables in the kitchen. When she heard Li Yong's words, she was a little unconvinced: "Really?"
Li Yong nodded hurriedly: "Really? If you don't believe me, ask Yuanyuan!"
Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan suspiciously.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled at Li Xu and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Xu was already half convinced, "Okay, wash your hands and come to help."
Li Yong quickly rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
While eating, Li Xu just remembered: "Jingyi came to see you several times in the afternoon, but you didn't come back. She said she would come to see you after dinner!"
She put some food into Ji Yuanyuan's bowl and said, "Go find her later, so she doesn't have to run around. Her mother will be worried."
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go after dinner!"
Seeing this, Li Xu asked curiously, "Does Jingyi treat other children like this?"
Tiantian is really clingy! It's not enough that they always stay together during class, but they also cling to Yuanyuan after class.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head: "No way! She doesn't really pay attention to other people."
Zhang Kun laughed: "You don't understand, they are called besties. If they have a good relationship, they naturally want to stay together all the time!"
Ji Yuanyuan concentrated on eating and didn't say anything.
In fact, Yang Jingyi had never been so attached to her before. Although it was good that she liked her very much, she would also play with other children.
But ever since Jingyi got this disease, her classmates rarely play with her.
Everyone was afraid that Yang Jingyi might get bumped or hurt. After all, this disease was no joke.
So, since Yang Jingyi doesn’t have many friends around her now, she becomes particularly clingy to her.
"Okay, then eat quickly and then go find your best friend. Let Uncle Zhang take you there and bring some peaches and apples!" Li Xu said.
After dinner, Zhang Kun carried a bag of peaches and apples and personally sent Ji Yuanyuan to Yang Jingyi's home.
After agreeing to pick her up in two hours, Zhang Kun left Yang Jingyi's house.
Ji Yuanyuan hadn't been to Yang Jingyi's house for a long time. As soon as she entered the door, she found that the glass coffee table that had been placed in the living room was gone and had been replaced by a wooden one.
Yang Jingyi pulled Ji Yuanyuan to sit on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Hu Chunli brought some fruit and said, "Your mother is so polite. You don't need to bring anything when you come to my place next time."
She placed the washed fruits on the coffee table and called Ji Yuanyuan: "Eat, Auntie has washed them all."
Ji Yuanyuan quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Yang Jingyi said impatiently: "Mom, you are watching TV in front of me, move away!"
Seeing this, the smile on Hu Chunli's face became a little awkward, and she quickly sat down next to him.
Seeing Hu Chunli's embarrassed expression, Ji Yuanyuan said politely, "Auntie, this new coffee table is really beautiful. You have a good taste!"
It was originally just a casual compliment, Ji Yuanyuan wanted to ease Hu Chunli's embarrassment.
But for some reason, she seemed to look even more embarrassed.
She smiled at Ji Yuanyuan, touched her hair, and said nothing.
"Auntie, isn't uncle at home?" Ji Yuanyuan suddenly asked.
Hu Chunli paused for a moment before she said, "Jingyi's dad is busy with work, so he can't be idle even on weekends. It's boring for Jingyi to be alone at home with me. If you have time, come and spend more time with Jingyi, okay? Auntie can make a lot of delicious food. Whatever you want to eat, Auntie can make it for you!"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Okay, no problem."
After a pause, she continued, "Yesterday I saw a man who looked very much like my uncle, at the Fuhua Hotel. He was wearing a black leather jacket with a standing collar and a zipper. But he was with an aunt, otherwise I would have thought he was my uncle!"
When she spoke, she didn't look at Hu Chunli's face. Her eyes were fixed on the TV screen, as if she had said it unintentionally.
