Chapter 603: What Purpose
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In her opinion, people should learn to stop when it’s appropriate and know how to be satisfied.
Anyway, the Qin family was in charge of her daughter’s face. In the future, no matter what surgery she had, whether it was in the country or abroad, the Qin family would be responsible until the end.
This 500,000 was a pure income.
Many people would not be able to earn 500,000 yuan in their lifetime.
The money that was given out naturally could not be taken back by Qin
Mucheng.
He took the card and placed it on the cabinet beside him.
In his opinion, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
Moreover, Li Xirui liked him. Therefore, he could not take back the money.
It would be best if he could return this favor with money.
However, he had a vague premonition in his heart. This woman, Li Xirui, was not simple. This matter might not be resolved so easily.
Shan Cuiping wanted to take the bank card and return it to Qin Mucheng.
However, her movements were subconsciously a little slow.
After all, in her subconscious, she did not want to return the money. She was terrified Qin Mucheng would really take the money back.
Qin Mucheng only came today to make his stance clear. He did not want to
argue with Li Xirui’s family over 500,000 yuan.
In his eyes, 500,000 yuan was nothing.
Therefore, he bid farewell to Li Xirui and left the ward in a hurry with Ji
Yuanyuan.
After Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan left, Shan Cuiping heaved a sigh of relief.
She took a step forward, took the bank card from the cabinet, and carefully put it back into her bag.
After she was done, she said in a low voice, “Fortunately, he didn’t accept it.
Otherwise, my heart would ache to death.”
When Li Hongyi heard this, he looked outside cautiously.
Seeing that the nurse had not returned, he scolded in a low voice, “You’re so narrow-minded! Compared to the Qin family’s huge assets, what was this 500,000?”
Shan Cuiping hugged her bag and muttered, “Even if Xirui really marries over, it has nothing to do with us. But this 500,000 yuan is in my hands.”
Li Shirui looked at her mother’s money-grubbing appearance and sighed silently. Then, she slowly said, “Don’t worry, this money is yours. It won’t run away. To his family, 500,000 yuan was just a drop in the bucket. Since they had given it away, they would not take it back. I asked you to return it just now to put on an act.”
If she did not do that, how would Qin Mucheng believe that she was a good lady who did not seek money?
“But my daughter, Qin Mucheng seems to treat that woman differently. Are you really confident…” Li Hongyi asked hesitantly.
“Dad, we can’t rush this. We have to take it slow.” Li Xirui lay back on the bed and turned to look out of the window, no longer speaking.
She had never thought of using the injury on her face to force Qin Mucheng to be with her.
Only a fool would do that.
Furthermore, her injuries were not a threat to Qin Mucheng.
The scar on her face only made Qin Mucheng look at her in a new light. Before this, to Qin Mucheng, she might just be a dispensable female colleague.
But now, she had saved him. In his heart, she was different from others.
Even so, it was worth it.
As for the rest, she would slowly scheme.
She, Li Xirui, would get most of the things she wanted.
Including Qin Mucheng.
After leaving the hospital, Ji Yuanyuan was in a bad mood.
Before she came to the hospital, she had already made some guesses.
Now that she had met Li Xirui, her guess was finally confirmed.
Li Xirui liked Qin Mucheng. When they were talking just now, her gaze would drift to Qin Mucheng from time to time.
Moreover, she did not do it unintentionally. It was more like she was doing it for her to see.
Li Xirui wanted to let herself know that she liked Qin Mucheng.
What was her motive? Want her to retreat? Taking the initiative to back out on account of Li Xirui taking a knife for Qin Mucheng?
Ji Yuanyuan thought that Li Xirui was already an adult and would not be so childish.
No matter what the reason was, there was no way to give up on feelings. It could only be said that Li Xirui had some schemes in mind, but not much. “Why do you think Li Xirui appeared at the back door of our school that night?” Ji Yuanyuan asked softly after putting on her safety belt.
“The road at the back door of our school is narrow and chaotic. Although we can take a shortcut, it takes more time than taking a detour. Other than the taxi that sent the students back and the students’ families, no one else would drive through.”
She thought of a possibility, “Could it be that she followed you?”
“I’m not sure.” Qin Mucheng shook his head.
If he was not sure, did that mean Qin Mucheng also suspected the same thing? Why did Li Xirui follow Qin Mucheng? And why did she step forward to block the knife for Qin Mucheng?
Qin Mucheng would not lie to himself, so what he said must be true.
Li Xirui was just Qin Mucheng’s female colleague whom he had barely spoken
to.
Even if Li Xirui liked Qin Mucheng, it was at most a crush.
Qin Mucheng had been in the company for less than a year. Even if Li Xirui had a crush on Qin Mucheng from the moment he entered the company, it had not even been a year.
Would a girl really risk her life to block a knife for a boy she had a crush on for a year?
Ji Yuanyuan found it unbelievable.
If it were her, she would never risk her life for a man she had a crush on for less than a year.
■■Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Qin Mucheng drove the car out of the basement and could not help but ask when he saw Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything.
Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses and was a little confused, “Ask what?” “For example, what is my relationship with Li Xirui? Why did she take the knife for me? Am 1 two-timing and lying to you that we’re just ordinary colleagues who haven’t even spoken much?”
Qin Mucheng’s tone was very calm.
Even if Ji Yuanyuan suspected him, it was normal.
After all, he still couldn’t figure out why Li Xirui had taken a knife for him. Ji Yuanyuan laughed, “Why should I ask that? How could you lie to me?” Qin Mucheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Yuanyuan in disbelief, “You really don’t suspect me? Not even a trace?”
Ji Yuanyuan turned to look at Qin Mucheng.
She did not know if Qin Mucheng was happy or unhappy.
But she still answered truthfully, “Of course. I don’t have any doubts about you. You won’t do anything to let me down. Even if I hurt you, you won’t hurt me.” At the end of his sentence, Ji Yuanyuan’s mood suddenly became low.
A moment later, she shook her head gently, shaking away all the bad memories in her mind.
“Although I shouldn’t say this, I feel I should be suspecting Li Xirui now.. What kind of feelings and motives did she have to block the knife for you?
