Chapter 15
“Don’t you have something to do? I see you brought quite a lot of people.” Jiang Yining made a final struggle.
Lu Zhi broke her last hope. “I’m done.”
Alright, she would never come to this internet cafe again!
Jiang Yining was forced to sit in Lu Zhi’s car. She looked out the window the entire time and didn’t communicate with him at all.
Lu Zhi didn’t have time to chat. He took out a computer and his well-defined fingers danced on the keyboard.
Halfway there, Jiang Yining saw a bank and asked the driver to stop.
“Wait for me for three minutes.”
The driver looked at Lu Zhi, and the latter nodded faintly.
This was consent.
The chauffeur quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yining ran into the bank and came out after a while.
Lu Zhi did not ask her what she was going to do.
Night fell, and the two of them returned to the Lu family.
Lu Zhi walked towards the study.
Jiang Yining followed behind him like a little tail.
Lu Zhi sensed something strange and came back to his senses.
Jiang Yining almost stopped and fell into his arms. Fortunately, Lu Zhi reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Is there anything else you need from me?”
Jiang Yining hesitated for a moment before she took out the things in her arms and handed them to Lu Zhi.
“This is my living expenses. I can’t eat and drink for free, right?”
Lu Zhi paused for two seconds and said, “There’s no need. I have a lot of money. Just spend it.”
“No.” Jiang Yining stubbornly stuffed the money into his hands. “Lu Zhi, we’re just a fake couple. I don’t want to owe you anything.”
Lu Zhi looked at the roll of money in his hand and had a strange feeling.
He never cared about money.
This was because he couldn’t finish spending all the money that was under his name.
Besides, how much money could it cost to raise a girl?
He was used to giving money to the people around him. This was the first time in his life that someone had given him money.
And it was a girl.
“In the future, I will pay a fixed amount of 500 dollars for living expenses every month. I know this isn’t enough. As for the rest… when I can earn money, I’ll make it up to you.”
“Where did you get so much money?” Lu Zhi asked in confusion.
“I earned it myself. Don’t worry, the money is earned legally.” Jiang Yining was unwilling to explain further.
Lu Zhi’s voice was cold as he repeated, “It’s only right for a man to support a woman. I won’t take your money.”
“What era are we in now? What do you mean by a man supporting a woman? Let me tell you, men and women are equal. Don’t underestimate me.” Jiang Yining was not convinced.
“I didn’t underestimate you,” Lu Zhi said in a narrative tone.
“Then take this money.” Jiang Yining didn’t believe him. She grabbed the money and forced it into his hand.
At this moment, a slightly noisy female voice came from the living room door.
“Grandma, you see? I told you she got close to Ah Zhi for money. She had only been with Ah Zhi for a short period of time, and she’s asking for money.”
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked in that direction.
Chen Kexin, who had left in a huff yesterday, was holding onto the exquisitely dressed old lady of the Lu family as she stared at Jiang Yining with an ugly expression.
Old Madam Lu walked up to him and berated him sternly, “Ah Zhi, where did you find this girl?”
“Grandma, didn’t Aunt Chen tell you?”
Everyone in the Lu family should have heard about what happened yesterday. Lu Zhi never liked to explain things to others.
He had been constantly disturbed for the past two days, and he was already quite impatient.
“Aunt Chen told me everything. She claimed to be your savior’s granddaughter, but what can a mere jade pendant prove? Who knows if she’s an imposter!”
“I know that you want to cure your illness, but you can’t trust others so easily. What if she has ulterior motives and wants to harm you? Wouldn’t that be bad?”
When Old Madam Lu finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yining with a critical and suspicious gaze.
Jiang Yining crossed her arms and looked like she was waiting for a good show. She didn’t explain further.
“I know better than anyone whether she is real or not,” Lu Zhi said firmly.
