Chapter 498: Want Money

They walked past the offices one by one and soon arrived at the one that Li Xu and Zhang Kun had rented.
There was a shiny sign hanging at the door.
“Jincheng Co., Ltd.” Li Lei stood in front of the door and softly read the name on the sign.
“It’s pretty good. It sounds good.” After reading it, he praised it.
Li Xu had already taken the key and opened the office door.
The door opened, and the layout of the office was revealed to everyone.
The area was not considered big, probably only 80 to 90 square meters.
A large table was placed in the middle, and a few chairs were placed around it.
There was a small room in the innermost part of the room. There was a sign on the door, Reception Room.
To be honest, it was quite simple.
“Dad, Mom, you two have been busy for so many days, and you only bought a few tables and chairs?”Ji Zi’ang teased.
Just now, the two of them were still bragging. They had been busy for many days with this.
“Actually, you guys have been enjoying your time alone these past few days, right?” Ji Zi’ang added.
Li Xu raised her hand and patted the back of his head gently, “What do you know? We have a lot of things to do. Although the company was still very empty, things could be slowly added.”
“Not bad, not bad. Everything was difficult at the beginning. Mom and Dad had never started a company before, so they had to figure out everything on their own. It was quite tiring.” Ji Yuanyuan helped Li Xu explain.
Li Xu hugged Ji Yuanyuan when she heard that, “It’s still my daughter who knows how to care for me.”
Just as she was about to explain, Li Xu suddenly remembered something, “The company needs a computer. The two of us discussed it and decided to move the computer at home here.”
“Then what do we use at home?” He asked, displeased.”
Li Xu smiled, “In a few months, your brother will be going to B City. He won’t need it anymore.”
“What about Yuanyuan and I?” Ji Zi’ang asked anxiously, “Don’t we need it?”
Li Xu looked at him mysteriously, “In September this year, you will officially become a third-year student. Your grades are in the middle of the grade, so you have to work hard this year. Don’t use the computer for the time being.”
“Not even once for a whole year?” Ji Zi’ang widened his eyes in disbelief.
Even if he was in his third year of high school, there was no need to be so strict, right?
“Yes, you can apply for it if you improve in the exam or receive praise from the teacher. 1 will buy Yuanyuan a laptop and put it in her room.”
After saying that, Li Xu winked at Ji Yuanyuan.
She wanted to buy her a laptop? Ji Yuanyuan paused for a moment and quickly understood.
Mom wanted to change the computer at home for her convenience, right?
Once the laptop was fully charged, it could be brought into the space for use.
Ji Zi’ang grumbled, “What’s the difference between this and not letting me use it?”
Li Xu didn’t reply and brought Li Lei to the small reception room.
Pan Zhaodi stood at the entrance of Xinhua Park, looking around.
It was almost noon. That girl should be back from school soon.
She took out the pancake in her arms, took a bite, and sat on the stone block beside her.
When she was about to finish the pancake, her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly put away the remaining pancake.
“Lingxue, school just ended.” She stepped forward and stopped a young girl riding a bicycle.
The person who came was Jiang Lingxue. When she saw Pan Zhaodi, her face was filled with hatred, “What are you doing here again?”
She jumped off the bicycle and looked around nervously.
She couldn’t let her adoptive mother see this woman. She would definitely talk nonsense.
“Lingxue, isn’t it almost summer vacation? I want to sign up for a tuition class for your cousin. This money…” Pan Zhaodi stretched out her hand and said.
“It’s still early to summer vacation. I just gave you 500 yuan two days ago. Where do I get that much money?” Jiang Lingxue said impatiently, “You are being a little greedy, right?”
“Look at what you’re saying. He’s your cousin after all. You have to help him, right? You’re living a good life now, but our family is still in deep trouble. Who’s to blame for this? If you don’t want to help, then I’ll have to talk to your adoptive mother.”
“Don’t keep using this to threaten me. It’s not certain whether my mother believes you or not. Even if she does, she won’t be estranged from me because of this. Is there any meaning in you coming over to cause trouble all day long? Even if I’m abandoned, what good will it do you? Who are you going to ask for money from?” Jiang Lingxue said coldly.
Pan Zhaodi sneered in her heart, ‘I’ve already gotten the benefits. If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Lingxue still has value, I would have gone to look for Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother:
She would be happy if Jiang Lingxue was not doing well.
“If you’re really not afraid, why did you give me money? Why don’t you just let me look for your adoptive mother?” Pan Zhaodi said, “Alright, don’t be stubborn. Your adoptive mother treats you well. I saw it. If you give me another 500 yuan, 1 promise I won’t come looking for you for the time being.”
“Where am I going to get you 500 yuan?” Jiang Lingxue was on the verge of breaking down. My adoptive mother is good to me, but I don’t have that much money.”
Her adoptive mother basically bought everything she wanted, but she did not give her much money.
“I don’t care. I’ll wait for you here. You have to give me the money when you go back to school. I still have to take the bus home.” Pan Zhaodi said shamelessly.
Jiang Lingxue looked at her hatefully. After a moment, she said, “You better keep your word.”
Upon hearing Jiang Lingxue’s agreement, Pan Zhaodi quickly nodded, “Alright, I’ll definitely do as I say. I can’t force you to be too harsh, right? I have to let you rest for a while…”
Jiang Lingxue rolled her eyes at Pan Zhaodi and pushed the cart into the neighborhood.
Pan Zhaodi looked away after Jiang Lingxue disappeared.
Her stomach growled and she took out the pancake from her pocket.
It was dry and there was not even any saliva. It was a little difficult to swallow.
Pan Zhaodi looked at the pancake in her hand. After a moment, she suddenly threw the pancake to the side, “Motherfucker, I’ll get the money later. Why am I still eating pancakes? I’m going to eat some meat buns!”
She swaggered away.
Jiang Lingxue returned home with a heavy heart. Only her adoptive mother was at home.
“Lingxue, the food is on the table. Hurry up and eat.” Wan Jing said.
“Mom, have you eaten?” Jiang Lingxue asked with a smile.”
Wan Jing closed her eyes and sat on the sofa listening to music, “I’ve already eaten. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Wan Jing and her husband had been married for more than ten years, but they had never been able to get pregnant.
Therefore, a few years ago, they adopted Shen Lingxue from the orphanage and treated her as their own daughter. They even changed her surname to Jiang, after her husband.
Who knew that after the couple stopped thinking about having children, they unexpectedly got pregnant this year?
Wan Jing was very concerned about this hard-earned child.
Ever since she got pregnant, she stopped doing all the housework and hired a nanny. The nanny prepared nutritious meals for her alone every day, so she ate separately from the rest of the family.
Jiang Lingxue stopped talking. She sat on the chair and began to eat in silence..
