Chapter 55 Ji Linchen lied to his mother and asked her to give him money for takeout
Ji Linchen ordered takeout.
Before the evening self-study session ended, he was so hungry that his stomach cramped.
In his previous life, he had never had this kind of experience. Not to mention the discomfort, he just wanted to eat.
I didn't eat anything except that bowl of instant noodles that day, and I was also dehydrated due to diarrhea.
After sending Xu Jiao home to his two-bedroom apartment, he found the refrigerator empty and the kitchen stove cold. Even if he had dry noodles, he wouldn't know how to cook them. What's more, he didn't even know where the oil was.
He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't, because this was his choice. Since he asked An Nuan to get out of his world, he had to endure it.
Besides, he is not a fool, isn't he just cooking and delivering food? Is it a problem if he has money?
He took out his cell phone and ordered a lot of food on the list outside, but the payment reminder came up, saying that the payment failed and the balance was insufficient.
Ji Linchen stared at these eight words for more than ten seconds, and finally opened his WeChat wallet. Thirty-two yuan was a pitiful amount, and he looked at him.
Ji Linchen got angry and let out a frustrated roar.
He forgot that he had bought a lot of things for Xu Jiao these days, and the change in his WeChat account was never less than one thousand. He didn't pay attention when he bought it. He was used to swiping cards in his previous life, and in this life... Ji Linchen still thought he was the richest man.
He had never had any concept of money. Not to mention that his mother would not let him down, An's father and An Nuan would not let him down either. When he was a student in his previous life, the three of them transferred money to his card. Because his food, clothing and other necessities were all taken care of, the money was always kept in his WeChat wallet and never touched.
Sometimes, An Nuan, fearing he would go hungry, would give him her own red envelopes and other money she earned from other activities. Yes, when she was in college, An Nuan worked part-time and gave him two-thirds of her earnings.
At that time, he had said that he didn't need her to send money, that the Mu family would give him money. But An Nuan said that the Mu family was the Mu family, and she was herself. In the winter, she knitted scarves and gloves for him, and in the summer, she bought him several sets of clothes in case he didn't have enough.
All good things come from him alone.
She didn't have many clothes of her own, so of course, he hadn't thought of buying her any. An Nuan was easily satisfied. One Christmas, he hadn't prepared a gift, so he simply sent her a gift from someone he'd been inspecting for a project. It was a water cup, I think? She treated it like a treasure and used it for years.
I used it during the three years I worked as Mu Sheng's secretary.
Now... Ji Linchen looked at the cups in the living room that were no longer clean and tidy, and the bathroom full of his changed, unwashed, smelly clothes, frowned, and then called his mother.
"Hey, Mom, give me some money so I can buy some materials for the college entrance exam."
Wu Qingqing hadn't slept yet. She had been lying in bed all day. Even if she was lazy, she wouldn't be that sleepy.
She was waiting for An's father to call her back, but unexpectedly, it was her son who called first and asked her to transfer money as soon as he opened his mouth.
This is the first time since I raised my son to the age of eighteen.
Before Wu Qingqing asked what specific information to buy, she heard Ji Linchen say again, "Don't ask anything, just bet 500 first. There's a competition the day after tomorrow, don't delay it."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, fearing that Wu Qingqing would notice something was wrong.
Ji Linchen suddenly felt ashamed.
This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he asked his mother to send him money.
In order to protect his self-esteem, his mother would transfer money to him at a fixed time every week, just like paying an electricity bill, without asking him whether he spent it or not. The money would be transferred automatically when the time came.
Five hundred yuan was actually not enough to support his mother until she was discharged from the hospital. He would spend it all tonight.
It's so shameful. He was clearly ordering takeout, but he had to tell his mother that he was buying information.
Ji Linchen leaned on the sofa with a terrible headache.
The phone rang and his mother transferred a thousand yuan to him.
"Lin Chen, we have a competition the day after tomorrow. Come on, work hard! Your Uncle An made some pig's trotter soup today, so make sure you have a few bowls. Your Uncle An will come over tomorrow, and I'll have him go to the market and buy you a pigeon. My son needs to nourish himself before the competition."
Ji Linchen took his mother's money but didn't reply to her. Now, he didn't care to reply because he didn't want his mother to know that he had been eating junk food during the days she was in the hospital. He also planned to give Xu Jiao the 50,000 yuan in the competition.
Damn it! How could this be completely different from what was expected? No, it might be because the college entrance examination hadn't yet begun. When it was over, Ji Linchen's eyes burned with disdain. He would let An Nuan know that his choice was the right one.
"Sister Wu, is Lin Chen calling? Did he say anything? I can see you don't look well."
Aunt Li, who had just finished massaging Wu Qingqing and was taking care of the patient next door, heard Wu Qingqing's phone ring. She peeked at her and saw that she looked unhappy. She smiled and said, "Are you asking about your condition? Sister Wu, don't think I'm being nosy. You've been in the hospital these days. Is Lin Chen having any problems? I think he should be fine. Nuannuan's father and Nuannuan have taken such good care of Lin Chen. Don't feel guilty because you're sick and haven't taken good care of him."
Wu Qingqing frowned, "Even without An Ge and Nuan Nuan, my son will take good care of himself."
Wu Qingqing didn't want Aunt Li to think that she and her son were relying on An Jinfu and his daughter.
Wu Qingqing is a woman of integrity.
Hearing this, Aunt Li really wanted to spit at her, but she didn't say anything. "Ah, I just asked a few questions. Unlike my husband, who works outside, I have to constantly remind him whether he has eaten today and whether he has clothes to wear in the cold weather. Sister Wu, you are so lucky. I envy you."
Wu Qingqing loved hearing this, but she was still a mother after all, and she hadn't seen An Jinfu taking care of her son in person these days. Now Lin Chen suddenly asked her to send money, so she didn't want An Jinfu to get upset with her son just because she wasn't around! ?
Thinking about this, Wu Qingqing called An's father, but unexpectedly... a strange woman answered the phone.
Wu Qingqing: “?”
