BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192 - 192 Chapter 191, Stupid Nephew
One yuan and it was private money. How tempting was this for Ji Zi’ang!
One Yuan could buy ten pieces of candy.
If he ate frugally, it would be enough for ten days!
!!
Thinking of this, Ji Zi’ang gulp again.
Looking at Ji Zi’ang’s useless appearance, Li Yong’s mouth twitched with confidence.
However, who would have thought that Ji Zi’ang would shake his head and say, “No, I can’t lie to my mother for money. You must have done something bad to bribe me with money. I will tell Mommy!”
The smile on Li Yong’s face froze and he looked at Ji Ziang in disbelief.
What? This stupid nephew doesn’t even buy this?
Seeing this, Ji Zixuan looked at Ji Ziang with a gratified expression.
“You have to think it through. One yuan can buy a lot of fast candy? Do you think it’s too little? I’ll add another one for you!” Li Yong hardened his heart and said.
Ji Zi’ang endured the pain and shook his head. “No, I can’t lie to my mother. I shouldn’t do it for money!”
He shouldn’t? Li Yong could only look at Ji Yuanyuan for help.
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a while then whispered something into Ji Ziang’s ear.
Ji Zi’ang’s eyes suddenly widened. He raised his hand and took the money from Li Yong’s hand. “Second Uncle, I promise you!”
Li Yong was stunned. What was going on? Then Ji Yuanyuan whispered in Ji Zixuan’s ear.
Ji Zixuan then looked at Li Yong eagerly.
Li Yong quickly reacted. He endured the pain, took out two one-dollar bills from his pocket, and handed them to Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan took the money and thanked him politely. “Thank you, Second Uncle!”
Li Yong looked at Ji Yuanyuan, his face on the verge of tears.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled. “Second, Uncle, I don’t want them.”
Li Yong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He hugged Ji Yuanyuan’s head and kissed her on the forehead. “You’re really my blood-related niece!”
After he was done being happy, he became curious again. “What did you say to them? Why did they agree to it?”
“As long as they don’t talk, it’s not considered lying!” At most, they would only know the truth and not report it!
“What if your mother asks?”
“Leave it to me!” Ji Yuanyuan patted her chest. “But Second Uncle, it is only this once. I won’t be able to help you next time!”
Li Yong put on a bitter face and picked up his bicycle again. “Got it!”
Before he returned to the shop, he happened to meet Zhang Kun, who was riding a tricycle to pick up the three of them.
Seeing Li Yong, Zhang Kun asked curiously, “Why are you with them?”
Li Yong quickly said, “I went to the villa for something. Thinking that the three of them must be there, I picked them up on the way.”
Zhang Kun did not doubt him. He looked at the three of them with a doting expression and said, “Come on up, let’s go home!”
After returning home, Li Xu saw Li Yong, but she had a puzzled expression. “When did you come?”
Li Yong quickly explained, just like he had told Zhang Kun. “I came this morning to look for my former colleagues for something. I happened to pass by Uncle Qin’s place in the evening, so I picked them up on the way back. I ran into brother-in-law on the way.”
Li Xu was preparing the dishes in the kitchen. When she heard Li Yong’s words, she did not quite believe them. “Really?”
Li Yong hurriedly nodded. “Really. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yuanyuan!”
Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan suspiciously.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled at Li Xu but did not say anything.
When Li Xu saw this, she was already more than half convinced. “Alright, hurry up and wash your hands to help.”
Li Yong hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
It was only when they were eating that Li Xu remembered. “Jingyi came to look for you several times in the afternoon but haven’t return. She said that she would come to look for you after eating!”
She put some food into Ji Yuanyuan’s bowl. “Go look for her later, so her mother won’t worry about her running around.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Okay, I’ll go after eating!”
Seeing this, Li Xu asked curiously, “Does Jingyi treat other children like this too?”
She was so clingy every day! It was not enough to always stay together during class. After class, she still clung to Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “No way! She doesn’t even pay attention to other people.”
Zhang Kun laughed. “You don’t understand. It’s called best friend. Since they have a good relationship, they naturally have to stay together!”
Ji Yuanyuan buried her head in his food and did not reply.
In fact, Yang Jingyi had never stuck to her like this before. Although it was not bad that she liked her, but she used to play with other children.
However, ever since Jingyi got this disease, the students in the class rarely played with her.
They were all afraid that they would hurt Jingyi. After all, this disease was not a joke.
Therefore, Yang Jingyi did not have many friends by her side now, so she became particularly clingy to her.
“Okay, then hurry up and eat. Find your best friend after you eat. Ask Uncle Zhang to send you over and bring some peaches and apples!” Li Xu said.
After eating, Zhang Kun carried a bag of peaches and apples and personally sent Ji Yuanyuan to Yang Jingyi’s house.
After making an appointment to pick her up two hours later, Zhang Kun left Yang Jingyi’s house.
...
Ji Yuanyuan had not been to Yang Jingyi’s house for a long time. As soon as she entered the door, she realized that the glass coffee table in the living room had disappeared and been replaced with a wooden one.
Yang Jingyi pulled Ji Yuanyuan to sit on the sofa and turned the television on.
Hu Chunli brought some fruits over. “Your Mother is too polite. You don’t have to bring anything when you come to Auntie’s place in the future.”
She placed the washed fruits on the coffee table and called out to Ji Yuanyuan. “Eat, Auntie has washed them all.”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly thanked her. “Thank you, Auntie!”
Yang Jingyi said impatiently, “Mom, you’re blocking the TV. Stand a little bit away!”
Seeing this, the smile on Hu Chunli’s face became a little awkward. She quickly sat down beside her.
Looking at Hu Chunli’s awkward expression, Ji Yuanyuan said politely, “Auntie, this new coffee table looks really nice. You have good taste!”
Initially, it was just a casual compliment. Ji Yuanyuan wanted to ease Hu Chunli’s awkwardness.
However, for some reason, her expression seemed to become even more awkward.
She smiled at Ji Yuanyuan and stroked her hair without saying a word.
...
“Auntie, is Uncle not home?” Ji Yuanyuan suddenly asked.
Hu Chunli’s expression paused for a moment, then she said, “Jingyi’s father is busy with work. He won’t be free even on weekends. It’s quite boring for Jingyi to stay home with me alone. If you’re free, come and accompany Jingyi more often, okay? Auntie will cook a lot of delicious food. Whatever you want to eat, Auntie will cook it for you!”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Okay, no problem.”
She paused for a moment, then said, “Yesterday, I saw a man who looked especially like Uncle. He was at Fuhua Hotel and wore a black leather jacket with an upturned collar that was zipped to the top. But he was with an aunt. Otherwise, I would have thought he was Uncle!”
She did not look at Hu Chunli’s face as she spoke. She was staring at the television screen as if she had accidentally said it.
