Chapter 5 I can still afford this little meal money
"Didn't you go on a business trip? Why are you back?" Jiang Xianmei stood up and asked, then went to the kitchen to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Shen Guozhong sat on the chair and said in an unhappy tone, "The company has arranged for someone else to go."
Jiang Xianmei looked a little uncomfortable and comforted, "It's okay if you don't go on a business trip. You don't have to run around."
Shen Guozhong's expression became even uglier, "What do you, a woman, know? Eat first!"
Jiang Yuzhu frowned subconsciously.
She knew that her uncle was angry with her because she was here.
But even though my uncle said so over the years, he never really stopped his aunt from sending him to school.
She didn't say a word, and put the white rice in her mouth.
At this time, the door was opened again, Jiang Yuzhu looked over subconsciously, and there was a trace of unnaturalness in his eyes.
Shen Qiang didn't expect Jiang Yuzhu to be here. She pulled Li He and walked inside, "Sister is here too?"
Jiang Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "I just came over after get off work."
Jiang Xianmei did not expect that Shen Qiang would bring Li He with her. She asked Li He to sit down, "Qiang Qiang, sit down and I will get you the dishes and chopsticks."
"Okay." Shen Qiang directly pulled Li He to sit down, "Why are you so reserved? It's not like you don't know my parents and sister."
Li He twitched the corners of his mouth and did not answer.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Jiang Xianmei happened to come out with two bowls of rice. Worried about Jiang Yuzhu's overthinking, she quickly said, "Let's eat first. Yu Zhu should eat more. Auntie didn't cook much."
"It's quite a lot." Jiang Yuzhu knew that her aunt was doing it to avoid embarrassment.
From the moment Li He and Shen Qiang walked in, Jiang Yuzhu wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
After all, her ex-boyfriend has become her brother-in-law, which is quite explosive wherever you put it.
Opposite Jiang Yuzhu, Shen Qiang took Jiang Yuzhu's embarrassed look into her eyes, her eyebrows became even more proud. She took Li He's hand and said deliberately in front of everyone, "Everyone is here today, so I will announce good news."
"Li He and I have decided to get married next month."
As soon as these words came out, Li He and Jiang Xianmei's expressions changed slightly, and they did not dare to look at Jiang Yuzhu's face.
Li He leaned close to Shen Qiang's ear and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "When did you tell me you were getting married next month?"
Shen Qiang curled her lips and said in a normal voice, "I just said, isn't this while my sister is here?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu pursed her lips slightly. She raised the drink at hand to Li He and Shen Qiang, and congratulated her sincerely, "Sister, I wish you a happy marriage."
Shen Qiang smiled and raised her water glass in response, "Thank you, sister."
There are different thoughts about eating a meal.
After eating, Jiang Yuzhu helped her aunt clean up.
She used to live in her aunt's house, and she would always help her aunt with any housework she could. Although her aunt was very kind to her, it was not her own home.
"Yuzhu, you don't have to do this anymore, just chat with your sister."
Jiang Xianmei didn't want her niece to feel restricted in her home.
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm okay now." Jiang Yuzhu chuckled.
After the kitchen was tidied up, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't stay any longer and offered to leave.
"Auntie, I'm going back first."
After that, he greeted his uncle and sister again.
Jiang Xianmei followed, "Yuzhu, I'll take you downstairs."
"Okay." Jiang Yuzhu did not refuse.
When going down the stairs, Jiang Xianmei sounded guilty, "Yuzhu, my aunt didn't think carefully this time, and she didn't expect Qiangqiang to bring Li He back..."
Jiang Yuzhu pursed her lips and chuckled. She quickly interrupted her aunt, "Aunt, I told you that this matter has been settled. You don't have to feel guilty. My sister is still young, so I won't care about what she says."
Seeing Jiang Yuzhu being so sensible, Jiang Xianmei's eyes were filled with distress, "Then drive slower."
"Okay, aunt, here's this month's money, take it." Jiang Yuzhu took out 5,000 cash from his bag and handed it to Jiang Xianmei.
Since starting work, Jiang Yuzhu has given Jiang Xianmei 5,000 yuan in living expenses every month to repay the kindness of raising her in the past few years.
Moreover, her salary plus bonus is basically 15,000 yuan per month, so her income is not low.
"You are married now. You should keep this money to invest in your own family. You don't have to give it to me every month in the future." Jiang Xianmei did not accept it and pushed the money back.
"Aunt, you raised me as your daughter, and I treat you as my mother. No matter what happens when I get married, I will never give you less. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to come back in the future."
Jiang Yuzhu forced the money to Jiang Xianmei.
In desperation, Jiang Xianmei had no choice but to accept it.
"Then you bring Xiao Pei to our house for a meal some other time." After all, Jiang Xianmei is Jiang Yuzhu's elder, and no matter what, she cannot make the groom's family feel that it is disrespectful.
"Okay." Jiang Yuzhu nodded in agreement.
After his aunt went upstairs, Jiang Yuzhu also got into the car. As soon as he started the engine, his cell phone on the center console rang.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at it and saw that it was her husband who had just received his certificate.
It's so late, what's wrong?
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuzhu connected to the Bluetooth in the car and then clicked to answer.
"I just finished my work, are you still at your aunt's house?"
The man's voice was cold and magnetic.
Pei Jingchuan didn't lie to Jiang Yuzhu. He never had the habit of checking his mobile phone when he was busy working. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he finished processing the documents, and then he saw the message Jiang Yuzhu sent.
"I just came downstairs." Jiang Yuzhu said truthfully.
"I'm going to have dinner now, do you want to join me?" The man's voice was pleasant.
Thinking that he had nothing to eat at his aunt's house, Jiang Yuzhu did not refuse, "Send me your address and I will come find you."
Pei Jingchuan booked a private room in Lingda Plaza.
Lingda Plaza is a large shopping mall with everything you need for food, drink and entertainment. It also belongs to the Pei Group.
When Jiang Yuzhu came to the box, Pei Jingchuan had already finished ordering his meal.
The two of them ate quietly.
After the meal, Jiang Yuzhu was about to ask the waiter to pay the bill but was stopped by Pei Jingchuan, "I've already paid."
Lingda Plaza is owned by him, so there is no need to pay at all.
However, he also greeted the general manager when he came and pretended not to recognize him.
Jiang Yuzhu was a little surprised. She opened the WeChat chat page with Pei Jingchuan and said, "How much does it cost? I'll give it to you."
AA?
Pei Jingchuan found it funny, but his handsome face showed no expression.
"No need, I can still afford this little meal money."
"Okay." Jiang Yuzhu twitched his lips in embarrassment.
They say that a man's face is very important, and besides, they are already a couple, so they shouldn't talk about AA everywhere.
She just didn't want to take advantage of Pei Jingchuan.
After the two of them got home, Jiang Yuzhu first added some cat food to the cat, then walked into the room and came out with a quilt, "You watch TV in the living room first, and I will help you clean up the room."
Pei Jingchuan was tall. He stepped forward and easily took the quilt Jiang Yuzhu was holding, "I'll accompany you."
