Lifetime of Bliss And Contentment With You - Chapter 709
Chapter 709: I Can Help You Earn Money
“Alright, alright. I shall zip my mouth. You speak then.” Xing Chen laughed at Ling Yue softly and settled down on Lin Yan’s couch.
“Sister-in-law, can I continue to call you that way?” Ling Yue peered intently at her as she asked this.
Lin Yan was a little conflicted.
She didn’t deserve to be her sister-in-law.
Earlier on, she had blurted out in front of everyone that she was the future Mrs. Pei. Thus, if she were to say no right now, wouldn’t she be pretentious?
Feeling forced to do so, Lin Yan stammered, “Ahem… Sure… Of course you can…”
“Sister-in-law, Xing Chen has told me everything. It was all because of your help. Without you, there is no way I would have been able to return to the Pei Family in this lifetime.” Ling Yue gazed gratefully at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan deliberated silently after she heard Ling Yue. What was so good about the Pei Family? Were they so important to Ling Yue?
Wasn’t this just a job? Why couldn’t she find a different job? She wouldn’t have to suffer so much then.
If Lin Yan didn’t make enough money from her job or she was feeling unhappy, she would quit. There was no doubt about that.
Certainly, if the job paid her well, she would just endure the unhappiness. It wouldn’t matter too much.
“How should I address you then?” Lin Yan smiled at Ling Yue.
“Sister-in-law, my name is Ling Yue. You can call me Xiaoyue,” Ling Yue replied.
“Xiaoyue, I merely helped you a little. Besides, I had also promised Xing Chen that I would help him, so you don’t have to thank me.” Lin Yan gazed at her.
“Miss Lin, you are still our benefactor. We will repay you!” Xing Chen promised gruffly in a solemn voice.
Before Lin Yan could utter a word, Xing Chen pressed on. “Miss Lin, tell us anything you need. We will do our best to help you.”
“Anything that I need?”
Lin Yan stroked her chin thoughtfully for a while. She didn’t need anything right now.
“I’m fine.” Lin Yan shook her head.
“Miss Lin, don’t stand on ceremony with us. Is there perhaps anything you’re interested in?” asked Xing Chen.
“Do I have to say?” Lin Yan was hesitant.
“Yeah.” Xing Chen nodded.
“Money.” Lin Yan stared at Xing Chen.
When Xing Chen heard Lin Yan, his smile froze completely on his face.
Xing Chen turned to Ling Yue for a moment before he glanced at Lin Yan. He then said solemnly, “Miss Lin, money is merely a worldly possession. We can’t bring it with us to our graves. I thought that you weren’t a secular person, so…”
Lin Yan shook her head violently and interrupted Xing Chen. “No, no, no! I am! I’m a normal, conventional, secular person.”
Xing Chen studied Lin Yan for some time before he turned to Ling Yue. “Xiaoyue, I just remembered that Qin Huan wants to hold a celebration to welcome you back. He has booked a hotel and it’s getting late…”
“Didn’t you say that Qin Huan went overseas to complete a mission? You said he wouldn’t be back in the next few days…” replied Ling Yue.
Xing Chen was speechless…
Lin Yan was speechless…
“Let’s not disturb Miss Lin’s rest. We will come back,” Xing Chen said.
“Shut up! Can you stop being so stingy?” Ling Yue frowned at him.
“Okay.” Xing Chen clammed up.
“Sister-in-law…” Ling Yue’s eyes roved over Lin Yan once more in expectation. “Can I stay with you? I can help you earn money!”
