Chapter 42: Being slaughtered
Xie Tingzhou raised his ink-stained eyebrows, "Really?"
Pei Yuanzhi nodded. "Yes, although this amount of money is nothing, Master Li is obviously ripping you off."
"Do you have her WeChat?" Xie Tingzhou suddenly asked.
"Yes, do you want to add her?" Pei Yuanzhi asked.
"Yeah." Xie Tingzhou responded.
"Then why didn't you add her directly when you were in the ward just now?" Pei Yuanzhi asked curiously.
Xie Tingzhou twirled the ring on his index finger nonchalantly and said seriously, "Because now I know I've been ripped off."
"Uh..." Pei Yuanzhi coughed lightly, "Forget it, just give it to them. Do you still want the four thousand back?"
"Why shouldn't I come back if I'm being ripped off?" Xie Tingzhou asked back.
"Brother Ting, you don't need this little money, so why bother..." Pei Yuanzhi paused and continued, "If you feel unbalanced, I'll transfer 4,000 to you. Don't ask Master Li for it back, otherwise you'll look so stingy. After all, he's the child's father."
"Whose side are you on?" Xie Tingzhou's narrow eyes curved, looking at him with a half-smile. "When did she buy you off?"
Pei Yuanzhi raised three fingers and said, "I swear to God, Brother Ting, I will definitely stand on your side."
"Then stop talking nonsense and send me her WeChat." Xie Tingzhou said.
"Okay!" Pei Yuanzhi put down his hand, took out his phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, and pushed Li Zhi's WeChat to him, "Okay, Brother Ting, just add it."
Xie Tingzhou hummed, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "What's her name?"
"I don't know. I didn't ask." Pei Yuanzhi replied, "You can add her later and ask her yourself. After all, she is your son's mother."
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything. He watched the elevator reach the first floor, waited for the elevator door to slowly open, and then walked out.
…
In the ward.
After Li Zhi replied to the message Jiang Ruyun sent her, she exited the chat interface with her and saw a small red dot appear in the address book below.
She clicked on it and saw that someone had applied to add her as a friend.
The other person’s avatar was blank and his nickname was Zhou.
Li Zhi didn't remember posting her WeChat account on the Douyin homepage, so it was probably a friend in her list who recommended her WeChat to someone else.
She thought for a few seconds and vaguely guessed who it was, but still agreed to the other party's friend request.
After successfully adding, Li Zhi was the first to send a question mark to the other party.
Zhou: [Kill me?]
Li Zhi raised her delicate eyebrows slightly. She knew without thinking that it was that Yuan Zhi told him the normal price for fortune-telling. She asked knowingly:
[What do you mean by "kill you"? Who are you?]
Zhou: [You charge others one thousand, but you charge me five thousand?]
Li Zhi: [The price depends on my mood.]
Zhou: [So I made you feel bad? ]
Li Zhi: [No, I made 10 million and was in a great mood, so I couldn't help but take a little more money from you.]
Zhou: [Is there such a truth?]
Li Zhi: [You added me just to get the four thousand back?]
Zhou: [As a consumer, I was deceived. Shouldn't I get my money back?]
Li Zhi: [Sorry, I've already taken the money, so there's no reason for me to give it back.]
Zhou: [Then deduct it from the 10 million.]
Li Zhi: [? Haha, you're very good.]
Zhou: [Thank you for the compliment.]
Li Zhi rolled her eyes and didn't reply to him. She simply raised her hand and exited the chat interface with him.
......
Pei Yuanzhi looked at the chat interface on his phone. Seeing that Li Zhi hadn't replied, he couldn't help but complain, "Oh, Brother Ting, I finally realized that you're a straight man."
"I'm telling you, forget about the four thousand. Don't ask anyone for it. Do you really need it? Now you've made someone angry."
He paused, then suddenly thought of something and continued, "Master Li wouldn't delete you, would he? Why don't you try sending another message?"
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids and looked at him, "What?"
"If you want to know Master Li's name, just ask her," Pei Yuanzhi suggested.
"Didn't you say that if people get angry, she will tell me?" Xie Tingzhou said.
Pei Yuanzhi thought for a moment and then said, "Let's first see if she has deleted your message. How about you transfer some money to her first?"
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the phone screen again, and immediately transferred 40,000 yuan.
Pei Yuanzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, "Fortunately, there's no red exclamation mark, it's not deleted."
The next second, Li Zhi took the 40,000 yuan without saying anything.
Xie Tingzhou sighed softly, "What do you mean?"
Pei Yuanzhi scratched his hair and said, "Why don't you wait and see, maybe she is thinking about how to reply to you."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and said quietly, "Does this require thinking?"
Pei Yuanzhi raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, then smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect Master Li to be such a money-grubber."
Xie Tingzhou turned off his phone and said, "Drive."
"Okay." Pei Yuanzhi retracted his gaze, sat up straight, started the car and left the hospital.
…
In the ward.
Although Li Zhi didn't know what was wrong with that person who transferred 40,000 yuan to her for no apparent reason, she felt that anyone who refused to accept the money was a fool.
Besides, he is Li Yanjing's biological father, so just consider it as child support.
Li Zhi's eyes fell on Li Yanjing, who was playing on his phone on the sofa, and she said, "Son, your grandma's not here today, and Mom made a lot of money again. We should order some takeout to celebrate. What do you think of milk tea with fried chicken?"
Li Yanjing paused tapping the phone screen, looked up at her, and said calmly, "If you want to eat, you don't need to ask me."
"So do you want to eat it or not? If you do, I'll order two servings." Li Zhi said.
"No." Li Yanjing paused and continued, "Milk tea contains caffeine, which will stimulate your nervous system and make your brain excited. Drinking it before bed will affect your sleep quality."
"High-fat foods like fried chicken can put a strain on your digestive system, leading to indigestion and affecting your sleep. So, you..."
Li Zhi smiled slightly and raised her hand to interrupt him, "I know, so I should eat more. Thank you for your knowledge. You can continue to play your own games."
Li Yanjing: “…”
Li Zhi no longer paid attention to him, retracted her gaze, looked back at the phone screen, opened the food delivery app, and started ordering.
"Did you order?" Li Yanjing asked.
"I ordered it." Li Zhi raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "What's wrong? Do you regret it and want to eat it again?"
Li Yanjing shook his head. "No, I just asked."
"It's okay. When the takeaway arrives, if you look hungry, I can share some with you." Li Zhi replied.
Li Yanjing pursed her lips. "Did you think I was too long-winded just now?"
