Chapter 9

Chapter 8, You’ve Really Changed

Ordinary people couldn’t enter their unit. However, last winter, Ji Jianguo recommended Shen Mei to work in the kitchen.

He said that Shen Mei was the widow of a distant relative of his. It wasn’t easy for her to take care of a child by herself.

He was also soft-hearted for a moment, so he asked Shen Mei to come over.

The kitchen was all temporary workers and didn’t have regular staff, so it was relatively convenient to recruit people.

But who knew that Shen Mei had such a relationship with Ji Jianguo.

Shen Mei’s face turned pale when she heard Director Qin’s words.

She looked at Director Qin pitifully with fear on her face, “It’s not like that, Director Qin. I really don’t have any relationship with Brother Jianguo, we are innocent.”

Director Qin was in his middle-aged. Plus, he was able to reach this position, so he was naturally not a pushover.

How could he be like Ji Jianguo, being bewitched by Shen Mei’s petty tricks.

He ignored Shen Mei and looked at Ji Jianguo, “Go take care of the matters at home. If you don’t have the money, I can help you pay for it first. Such a big child just happens to be in their growing period, how can they go hungry?”

After saying that, he paused for a moment, “You don’t have to go to work today, focus on taking care of the matters at home. Come to my office to look for me tomorrow.”

After saying that, Director Qin looked at Ji Yuanyuan, who was hiding behind Li Xu. “Little friend, if you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for uncle. If uncle can’t solve it, there’s still uncle’s superior.”

Ji Yuanyuan stuck his head out and smiled sweetly at Director Qin, “Got it, Uncle.”

After Director Qin said that, he turned around and left.

Shen Mei was anxious and wanted to grab Director Qin, “Director, let me explain. This matter is really not what you think…”

However, before she could get close to Director Qin, she was stopped by the woman standing behind Director Qin, “Didn’t you hear what Director Qin Said?”

“Xiaomin, help me speak to your father. I really didn’t do anything. Brother Jianguo and I are innocent. Don’t listen to the nonsense of a child.”

She could not lose this job. This job was not only easy, but the salary was also high. Most importantly, she was pregnant before marriage and had a child. Other than this place, no other place was willing to hire her.

Only then did Ji Yuanyuan realize that the woman who brought them in was actually Chief Qin’s daughter.

Qin Xiaomin looked at Shen Mei and sneered, “A child won’t lie. The accountant will check and send your salary to you as soon as possible. If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security.”

Hearing that, Shen Mei looked at Ji Yuanyuan with hatred, “Why did you make me lose my job?”

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Shen Mei and felt happy.

Compared to what you, mother and daughter did to me in the past life, compared to what you did to my mother, it was just child’s play now.

Li Xu naturally didn’t want to pay attention to Shen Mei. She looked at Ji Jianguo, “Director Qin has already spoken. Do you still want to go back on your word?”

Ji Jianguo looked at the current scene and quickly said with hatred, “You guys follow me.”

Director Qin had clearly given him a warning just now. He was different from Shen Mei, he was a formal employee with a staff.

It was not a simple matter to fire him. However, if Director Qin really gave up on him, it was not impossible.

He had to make sure that Li Xu was satisfied with this matter. Otherwise, if they were to find Director Qin again, he would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Ji Jianguo looked at Li Xu and said hatefully, “You guys come with me.”

Seeing this, Li Xu took one child in each hand and left with Ji Jianguo.

The few of them left. In the office, people still discussing what had just happened in whispers. Shen Mei’s face was pale, and her legs went weak. She collapsed on the ground.

Ji Jianguo came out with a few people. His expression immediately became distorted, “Li Xu, what do you want?”

When Li Xu heard this, her expression was indifferent, “Ji Jianguo, what are you trying to do? They are your children. I only want five thousand yuan. You forced me to do it.”

Ji Jianguo looked at Li Xu and his expression turned red. Clearly, he did not expect that Li Xu would really do what she said.

“I will go back and get the money now. I will send the money to you in the afternoon, you can go home and wait.” Ji Jianguo held back for a long time before he finally said this.

After a pause, he said, “Li Xu, you’ve really changed. You’ve become really profiteer. I’m really glad now, I’m glad that I’ve divorced you now.”

With that, Ji Jianguo turned around and left.

Li Xu stood where she was, feeling extremely cold.

This was the person who had slept with her for more than ten years.

As a child, Ji Zi’ang might not understand how hurtful Ji Jianguo’s words were, but as an adult, Ji Yuanyuan understood.

She reached out and hugged Li Xu.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, someone suddenly shouted, “Sister Li.”

Li Xu turned around and saw Qin Xiaomin walking out with two gift boxes in her hands.

She came to Li Xu’s side and reached out to pass the two gift boxes to Li Xu. “Sister Li, these are gifts from our unit. I don’t like to eat these. You can take them back to the children to eat.”

Li Xu was about to refuse when Ji Zi’ang, the glutton, thanked her, “Thank you, Sister Qin.”

Qin Xiaomin couldn’t help but laugh as she reached out and rubbed Ji Zi’ang’s face, “You’re welcome.”

Then, she straightened up and looked at Li Xu. She said in a low voice, “Sister Li, you’re amazing. If you encounter any difficulties in your life in the future, you can come to me anytime.”

It was rare to meet such a kind-hearted person. Li Xu said gratefully, “Miss Qin, thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you and your father, we might have…”

Today, she had met Qin Xiaomin and Director Qin who were more reasonable.

If she met a leader who protected his subordinates, Li Xu really couldn’t do anything to Ji Jianguo.

Qin Xiaomin shook her head. “When we go back, if Ji Jianguo doesn’t pay, you can come and find me anytime.”

Li Xu nodded and patted the two children, “Say Goodbye to Sister Qin.”

Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang said goodbye to Qin Xiaomin in unison. Li Xu carried the two of them and left.

Ji Yuanyuan couldn’t help but turn around to look.

Qin Xiaomin and Qin Mucheng had the same surname, Qin!

When he turned around, he saw that Qin Xiaomin was still in the same spot, watching them leave.

Ji Yuanyuan waved his hand at Qin Xiaomin, who smiled and waved back.

It was only after they turned a corner and Qin Xiaomin’s figure disappeared that Ji Yuanyuan retracted his gaze.

When the three of them returned home, it was already past ten o’clock. Ji Zixuan was very sensible and was already preparing lunch.

There were only a few cabbages at home. Ji Zixuan had already washed the cabbages carefully and cut them up. He was just waiting for Li Xu to come back and stir-fry them.

While eating the cabbages in her bowl during lunch, Ji Yuanyuan was lost in thought. If she told his mother about the space, would it scare her?

However, if he did not tell her, how would she take the food out of the space and eat it?

These days, she has been thinking about this question, but there has been no answer.
