Chapter 78 What He Wanted, She Couldn't Give Him
The room was quiet at night, with the occasional soft rustling sound.
Bo Wei bent over her desk, writing down her spending plan on a piece of paper.
The Li Group pays out monthly salaries on the 5th of each month. After more than a year, she received her salary again, which was over 19,000 yuan, nearly 20,000 yuan.
The bank card balance was a long string, but she only dared to use the last part, because the length of that string made her uneasy.
She divided the 20,000 yuan into several portions, each with its own purpose.
Part One: Five Thousand, for a dinner party.
She silently recorded all the expenses for her medical treatment, caregiver fees, and living expenses, which totaled more than 500,000 yuan.
Medical reimbursement only covered around 100,000 yuan, and many medications were not covered by medical insurance.
She had about 100,000 yuan in savings at the time, and Ji Mingxiu also had more than 100,000 yuan.
That's far from enough; it's still a long way from the approximate amount the nurse mentioned!
Ji Mingxiu borrowed 60,000 yuan from his friend Xiang Yize, 30,000 yuan from his colleague Lin Yiran, and 30,000 yuan from his colleague Zhao Xiaoyu.
She didn't have many friends. Before college, she was always focused on her studies and didn't have time to make friends. However, she had a good relationship with her roommates in college. Lu Xiyun lent her 50,000 yuan, Yu Wei lent her 20,000 yuan, and Yu Yan lent her 20,000 yuan.
It still wasn't enough, so he asked his family for another 100,000 yuan, which his parents personally delivered to him.
When Ji's mother entered the ward, her eyes welled up with tears upon seeing her. If an outsider didn't know better, they would think it was her own mother who had come.
Before leaving, he patted her hand and told her not to worry, and to tell them if she needed more money, and they would work together to find a solution.
Ji's parents treated Bo Wei as if she were their benefactor.
My ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke! I never dreamed that my son would get into the University of Washington and now find such a good job!
This is an honor for generations of them, a real source of pride!
All of this is thanks to Bo Wei; good deeds bring good results, and Bo Wei brings them good fortune.
Bo Wei was very grateful to them, but she also felt that she owed their family too much, and she was a little panicked.
So as soon as the reimbursement money came in, I paid back Ji's parents' money first.
This was her first paycheck after recovering from her illness. Now that she was able to afford it, she should treat these people to a meal, personally thank them, and explain her repayment plan to them so they could feel at ease.
I invited them here once before, but home is never as formal as going out.
Part Two: Three Thousand, preparing to treat office colleagues to dinner.
She had promised to treat them to dinner that day, and since she had already said it, she should keep her word. Besides, they knew she had 20 million, and it was really unreasonable for her not to treat them to a meal when she had 20 million.
I was supposed to mention it in the office that afternoon, maybe even suggest we all have dinner together that evening. But I was so upset at the time that I completely forgot about it.
It's a bit inconvenient to meet up with colleagues on the weekend. It's better to go after work on a weekday, so it doesn't take up anyone's time, and there's no need to think about what to do after dinner. After eating, we just wipe our mouths and go home. So I can only postpone it until next week. I'll ask everyone when is convenient on Monday.
However, she wanted to express her gratitude to Xu Xiangying and Zhou Yang separately.
Why don't we try to arrange a meeting with them and see if we can get them to come out?
I sent the message on WeChat and quickly received responses from both of them, setting the date for tomorrow afternoon.
She has a rough estimate for tomorrow's expenses, around two thousand, which she shouldn't exceed.
So, by hiring three groups of customers, half of her salary was gone.
Of the remaining ten thousand, five thousand was used to pay rent, and the other five thousand was used for living expenses.
They've lived together for so long, and Ji Mingxiu has always paid the rent, never mentioning it to her.
As for other expenses, she paid for them. The money was reimbursed medical expenses. After repaying Ji's parents, she kept the remaining 30,000 yuan for follow-up examinations and living expenses.
There's not much left now, but it's just enough to fill the gap.
After treating everyone to dinner this month, I can save money to pay off my debts next month, and I'll even get a whole month's salary next month! Thinking about this, Bo Wei's lips curled up, and she felt that life finally had some hope.
But in just a moment, her faint smile returned.
She was trying to repay everyone's favors, except for Li He.
Li He, what he wants, she can't give; what she can give, he doesn't want.
With a long sigh, she closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.
Hiss~
A sharp pain shot through her neck. She slowly sat up, then laughed in exasperation, unable to even feel a pang of sadness.
...
Ji Mingxiu walked through the living room, still half asleep, heading towards the bathroom.
There was a noise at the door. He waited a moment, and then the door opened.
It was Bo Wei, wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, and a silk scarf around her neck.
She walked into the entryway carrying heavy bags in both hands.
"When did you leave?" Ji Mingxiu quickly stepped forward and took the bag from her hand.
Bo Wei let go of her hand and said softly, "I got up early this morning. It's the weekend, and I was thinking of going to the market early to buy fresh vegetables and fruits."
Ji Mingxiu placed the bag on the dining table, turned to look at her constantly clenched hands, and sighed, "You should have asked me; your hands are all red from carrying it back."
Bo Wei spread her hands, looked at them, smiled, and bent down to change her shoes. "It's okay. I bought you steamed buns and fried dough sticks in the bag. Eat them first. I'll make breakfast. After you eat breakfast, go take a nap. I'll call you when lunch is ready."
Ji Mingxiu headed towards the bathroom. "No need, I'll wash up first and then come help."
Bo Wei watched his retreating figure without refusing.
It's rare for two people to have such an opportunity to spend time together. They have things to do, so there's no awkwardness, and cooking together can also enhance communication.
As for love, her gaze lingered for a moment, and she stopped thinking about it.
Take out all the items from the two large bags, and also take everything out of the refrigerator and reorganize it.
The bathroom wasn't soundproof, and hearing the constant gurgling sounds from the toilet inside made her a little embarrassed. She went to the kitchen, washed the rice, cooked it, and put the rice in the bowl before coming out again.
Ji Mingxiu came out of the bathroom, his sleepiness gone. He walked to the table and saw Bo Wei tidying up in an orderly manner, and smiled softly.
Bo Wei looked at him, her eyes filled with curiosity as she asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Ji Mingxiu shook his head and walked to her side. "I always feel that what you're doing is out of place."
Bo Wei smiled. "Why?"
When Ji Mingxiu heard her question, he suddenly fell silent. Bo Wei seemed too delicate and was very suitable for being raised in luxury. When he thought of being raised in luxury, someone immediately came to mind.
"It's nothing, I'll help you."
Bo Wei put things in the refrigerator, and he would pass them to her from time to time while eating his breakfast. They quickly finished tidying up and then moved on to the kitchen.
