After ridiculing Liu Zilie, Ji Ling continued to ask Chu Jingfei for money.
"It's a good business, but I borrowed all the capital. My parents didn't know about this before, but now it's out in the open. I came here this time thinking I'll talk to you about this after my grandma's birthday. It just so happens that I got the money back today."
The money belonged to Ji Ling, and Chu Jingfei really couldn't just hold on to it and not give it to her. Everyone was there, and no matter how much she said nice things, it wouldn't work. She could only reluctantly count out the five hundred yuan to Ji Ling.
After all, Chu Jingfei is still young and cannot control her emotions very well, and her unhappiness shows directly on her face.
Ji Ling pretended not to see it, put the money in her pocket, and called Ji Ke, "Dad is here, right? Let's go back too."
Ji Ke nodded.
Chu Jingfei hurriedly stopped her, "Xiaoling, aren't you going to treat everyone to a meal?"
Ji Ling raised her head, "When did I say I would treat everyone to a meal? My dad is coming over today, and my mom told us to go home early to eat in the morning."
When Liu Zilie heard Ji Ling mention Xu Fang, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Chu Jingfei, "I told you earlier that there is a new restaurant."
"You did, but I didn't say I would." Ji Ling raised her head and looked at everyone. "You all heard me at the time. You didn't think I agreed, did you?"
If someone wants to eat and drink for free, that’s the original owner, not her.
Lin Hai said, "We agreed to go to dinner, but it was Chu Jingfei who asked us to come to her house to look at something. Who knows what you guys are doing."
Chen Wanting also looked dissatisfied, "It wasn't us who asked you to treat us to a meal before, it was you who kept dragging us along, as if we were willing to go."
Ji Ling: Zheng Shi is really particular. He really helped the original owner to save face and let a group of people eat for free.
"It's not a wasted day today. I can see that Jing Fei and Ji Ling can make money from their investment." Chen Jingming smiled, "It's getting late, let's all go home."
It was very hot in early August in Taipei City. As the sun set in the evening, more people came onto the streets.
Many people ride bicycles after get off work.
Only then did Ji Ling feel that the whole city was alive.
When she came, Chu Jingfei was very warm to her, but when she went back, Chu Jingfei ran to the front and squeezed between Chen Wanting and Ji Ke, intentionally ignoring Ji Ling.
Ji Ling didn't care about such childish toys. She followed slowly behind, looking at the scenery around the street from time to time.
While she was enjoying the scenery, Chu Jingfei came close to her again and whispered, "Ji Ling, don't you really want to consider investing?"
Seeing that she was not giving up, Ji Ling asked back, "We all hang out together, and everyone has better conditions than me. If you want to invest, you can ask everyone. It doesn't have to be me."
"We are the only ones who have a good relationship. You are the only one with the worst conditions among these people. I wanted to help you. Otherwise, why would I only call you for good things?" Chu Jingfei looked aggrieved. "Xiaoling, if you are angry with me and I asked you to treat everyone to a meal, I apologize to you. In the past, you always asked me to help you call everyone to dinner, so I took the initiative this time. I'm sorry."
Ji Ling was not happy about Chu Jingfei's goodwill, but instead felt wary.
When they met for the first time today, Ji Ling had no good impression of Chu Jingfei. Not only did she treat the original owner as a sucker, but she was also calculating and controlling her. She was never satisfied with the benefits she got, and immediately turned hostile when rejected. She was greedy and insidious, not worth making friends with, let alone contacting again.
"Chu Jingfei, if you want to embarrass yourself, go somewhere else, don't embarrass yourself here." In front, everyone was listening to the noise behind them. Liu Zilie lost his temper and turned around and shouted angrily, "You will never find a friend in your entire life, and you are always groveling around?"
"Liu Zili, you don't have to worry about my business."
"Do you think I want to control you? If you're not my cousin, who would I know you as?"
"You can just pretend that I'm not your cousin."
The cousins started arguing on the street. Ji Ling wanted to leave, but Chu Jingfei grabbed her arm and said, "Xiao Ling, don't leave. I'm just friends with you, so what? Let's see who can stop you."
Ji Ling frowned and pulled her arm back hard. She didn't have many clothes, so she was still wearing the shirt that Xu Fang had pointed out. She also wore a pair of green pants. At this moment, Chu Jingfei pulled the sleeve of her shirt hard, and the whole shirt went to one side. Ji Ling was not fat, and the shirt was very big for her.
She had a bad feeling that if she continued pulling like this, the shirt would eventually be torn off her body.
She instinctively tried to save herself by stepping back with her whole body, and using her other hand to pull the sleeve that Chu Jingfei was holding. The first time she tried, she failed to pull the shirt back. The second time, she gathered all her strength, took a breath and pushed back.
Ji Ling: Eh? The shirt, which had not been loosened before, suddenly lost its tension. Ji Ling pulled back with all her strength, and her whole body suddenly fell straight backwards.
At the same time, a carriage pulling several large wooden barrels was approaching in front of them on the street. Ji Ling fell towards the street, and the carriage drove over.
Everyone was frightened and cried out in surprise.
Ji Ling saw the smug look in Chu Jingfei's eyes: Damn, she understood.
Ji Ling wanted to save the situation, but she had just used too much force and her body was too close to the ground, leaving her no chance to turn over in mid-air.
She closed her eyes and waited to die.
Perhaps after being hit by the carriage, when she opened her eyes again, she had traveled through time again.
The next moment, my body hit something hard. Just as I felt the pain, my whole body was taken away, but it didn't feel like being kicked by a horse.
Ji Ling opened her eyes suspiciously, her vision blurry and she couldn't see clearly. Most of the scene was blocked by the chin of the person's face. When her body steadied itself, the invisible half of the face slowly lowered.
"Are you okay?" Zhu Weidong looked at the little girl in his arms.
Ji Ling: "Thank you."
Ji Ling felt complicated when she saw that the person who saved her was Zhu Weidong, the person she had complained about countless times and disliked. After being helped up by Zhu Weidong, she saw that Zhu Weidong's other palm was bleeding, so she took out a handkerchief and wrapped it up.
"Press it to stop the bleeding first, and then rinse it with anti-toxic water when we get back." Ji Ling didn't say anything and tied a knot on the back of his hand with the handkerchief.
Zhu Weidong stared at the bow on the back of his hand and was stunned for a moment.
Everything happened in a flash. When Ji Ling and her group ran over, Ji Ling had just wrapped Zhu Weidong up. Zhu Weidong didn't like crowds, so when he saw that the little girl was fine, he nodded and turned to leave.
"Sister, are you okay? I was so scared just now. If anything happens to you, how can I explain to mom and dad?" Ji Ke looked up and down at Ji Ling with red eyes, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ji Ling said it was okay, but she was still scared. The scene just now was so thrilling that even the old man driving the carriage was frightened and he still stayed where he was.
"Girl, don't play around while walking in the future. It's too dangerous. If it weren't for that comrade just now, something bad would have happened today." Although Ji Ling was not blamed for the old man driving the coach, he did not scold her. Instead, he asked a few more questions out of concern before leaving.
Chu Jingfei squeezed in front of Ji Ling and said, "Xiao Ling, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Ji Ling smiled and held her back, "Okay, I don't blame you, I know you didn't mean it, don't cry." Now that you're done crying, where else will you shed tears when your sister plots against you? Chu Jingfei looked at Ji Ling cautiously, "Xiaoling, you really don't blame me?"
"I don't blame you." No way!!
"Our Xiaoling is the best to me." Chu Jingfei burst into laughter.
Liu Zilie curled his lips, thinking that Ji Ling was putting on a show for everyone again. Everyone had a bad relationship with Ji Ling. They felt like they didn't know Ji Ling yesterday and today. Only Chen Jingming had a gloomy expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lin Hai was so angry that he left after saying that, "He is hopelessly stupid."
Everyone was surprised. Zhou Wei chased after Lin Hai, and Chen Jingming stared at Lin Hai's back again.
