When Zeng Rou thought of how Xiao Sheng had made Jiang Heng and Ning Bi return empty-handed, her impression of him improved. “Your friend is not bad. Jiang Heng wanted to cut the queue and even came to me to ask me to pull strings for him again.” ...
“Pfft! If it weren’t for his Old Master, I would have retorted directly the first time. He even wanted me to pull strings for him twice. How shameless! I didn’t agree, so he said to me that if he could use money to make the other party give up, I wouldn’t be able to interfere in this matter. He looked very confident.”
“At that time, I was thinking that if your friend was really so greedy for that bit of money that he abandoned his family, I definitely wouldn’t let you get close to him.”
Zeng Li said with certainty, “That’s impossible. He values his family the most. He’s very unyielding!
With that, he explained the basic situation of the Xiao family. After the Zeng family found out that Xiao Sheng had supported the family since the age of 13 and even saved up for his sister’s surgery fees, their impression of him improved a lot.
Zeng Wei knew what kind of friends Zeng Li had. It wasn’t easy to meet someone like Xiao Sheng, but he was still worried and wanted to keep an eye on him. If Xiao Sheng was really that good, he would let Zeng Li learn from Xiao Sheng. He was in his twenties, so he was still quite impulsive. “In that case, invite him to our house for dinner.”
Zeng Li also felt that this was a good idea. After dinner, she could use the excuse of sending them off to go out to play. “Good idea. I’ll give him a call. By the way, his girlfriend came with him. She’s the factory director of the food factory I ordered chili sauce from.”
When Zeng Li found out that Yu Bing had specifically come to accompany Xiao Bing this time, she thought that their relationship had been confirmed.
When Lin Xue heard this, she remembered. “Miss Yu, the one you said was very good at cooking?”
Zeng Li nodded. “Then I’ll go look for them. It’s three o i clock now, so I’ll bring them over early. By the way, make more food so that he can pack a portion for his siblings.”
Lin Xue replied readily, “No problem.”
After saying that, Zeng Li moved to his brother’s side and put his arms around
Zeng Wei’s shoulders as he smiled and said, “Brother, can I borrow your car? It’s freezing outside. It’s quite far from the military-affiliated hospital.”
Seeing that it was no longer snowing outside, Zeng Wei didn’t stop him. He only reminded him, “Be careful and drive slowly! The snow has just melted, so the road is still wet.”
When Zeng Li heard that he could borrow the car, he nodded obediently. His two nephews also wanted to go, but Zeng Li hurriedly ran away after appeasing them.
Zeng Li had never been to Xiao Li l s hospital this time, so he didn’t know where she was staying. He went to the ophthalmology consultation nurse station first. After asking her, he found the ward and pushed the door open.
In the empty ward, there were four people studying and doing questions. Even Xiao Li was holding a book and touching the braille text on it.
After Zeng Li closed the door, he said helplessly, “You guys are still studying during the new year? If the college entrance examination resumes, if any one of your family members fails to get into the capital’s university, I’ll suspect that the scoring teacher made a mistake.”
When Xiao Li and Xiao Lin heard his voice, they turned around and greeted him obediently, “Hello, Brother Zeng. We wish you a smooth new year and that everything will go your way.”
Zeng Li took out two red packets from his pocket and handed them over with a smile. “I love hearing such blessings.”
Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing were a little baffled when they saw Zeng Li suddenly appear. It wasn’t five o’clock yet.
Yu Bing had not seen Zeng Li for a long time, so she went forward and greeted him with a smile, “Happy New Year.]’
At this point, Yu Bing paused for a moment before deliberately whispering, “I wish you happiness and prosperity!
The saying ‘I wish you happiness and prosperity’ was derogatory in this era of poverty. Although everyone wanted happiness and prosperity, the environment didn’t allow it. Over time, this New Year blessing disappeared.
However, Zeng Li was different. Although what he did couldn’t be exposed out in the open, he was a businessman in essence.
Upon hearing this long-lost blessing, Zeng Li revealed a knowing expression and said, “If you were younger, I would have given you double the red packet!” After Zeng Li finished speaking, he gave everyone his blessings.
After Xiao Sheng looked at the time and saw that it was just past four o’clock, he joked, “You’re this anxious for me to treat you?
Only then did Zeng Li reveal his motive. “I want to invite you guys to my house
for dinner..”
