Mother Ji smiled more amicably, “That’s right! How can 300,000 yuan a month be enough?”
Ji Qingqing finished peeling the shrimp and dipped the shrimp in the sauce. She smiled sweetly at Mother Ji and said, “The house and the construction of the house were paid by me. Father’s medical expenses were also paid by me when I went to the hospital. I didn’t make you spend a penny.”
The expression on Mother Ji’s face suddenly turned awkward.
“For an ordinary family, they would have enough food and clothing for years with 300,000 yuan. I believe our family is also considered to be an ordinary family, so it should be impossible for you to use up all the money I had sent you. You must have some money remaining in your hand. Truth to be told, I’m having a hard time in the entertainment industry right now. My assistant and managers are all depending on me to support them. In addition, the previous incident has negatively affected me a lot. I even owe other people money,” she looked at Mother Ji sincerely and said, “I will cut off the living expenses for you for a few months. I have sent many 300,000 yuan transactions to you before. You and dad should use the remaining money you have from before. Try to spend less.”
“Spend less?” Mother Ji said in a loud voice, “How should I spend less money?”
Ji Qingqing calmly tried to reason with her, “Usually, only you and father would be at home. Even if you have fish and meat for every meal, you will spend at most 100 yuan daily for food. You should have a few hundred thousand yuan left from all the money I’ve sent you, right? The remaining money should be enough for your daily necessities.”
“Who told you that I still have a few hundred thousand yuan remaining? Don’t I need to buy clothes? Don’t I need to buy jewelry? And your dad, this...how can that be enough?!”
“There is nothing I can do. I’m in a very difficult situation right now, so I can’t give you that much money. Even if you try to force me, it won’t work because I don’t have money. There are many people that I need to bribe in the entertainment industry. I don’t have any surplus money in my hands.”
Yu Yang also stood up and said, “Auntie, I’m full too. It’s getting late now, and I still have a few matters to attend to, so I will be leaving now.”
Mother Ji was so angry at Ji Qingqing that she lost her appetite. She looked at her and then looked at Yu Yang again. She said to Ji Qingqing, “Wait. Qingqing, you should send Yu Yang off.”
Mother Ji pulled Ji Qingqing along to send Yu Yang off, forcefully creating some alone time for them.
Ji Qingqing was too lazy to even look at him. She planned on getting in the elevator but when the elevator door opened, a person stepped out.
The person was Lu Lixing.
Ji Qingqing quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
“Qingqing, wait! Who is that?”
Ji Qingqing hurriedly dragged Lu Lixing into the elevator, “Let’s hurry and leave. Don’t let them catch us, or else they will definitely pluck all your feathers until you’re bald!”
T/N: T/N: Mother Ji gave me a bad vibe in the beginning, but I prayed that I was wrong because I really wanted Ji Qingqing to have a loving family. But now, I just... *sighs* I feel bad for her. TT^TT
