Gu Xiaoling didn’t expect Meng Yajun’s personality to be this problematic now, but she didn’t mind.
Her previous man had a good temper, but when he got drunk, he was insufferable.
Maybe men with bad tempers are more caring in private.
Well, it seems like Shen Ci is like that, cold and distant to everyone, but especially good to his wife and children.
Song Ennian is similar.
And so is Han Muyang.
Han Muyang’s personality is a bit more lively, but sometimes he’s pretty fierce.
So, a man who is occasionally fierce isn’t necessarily lacking in tenderness.
After fantasizing earnestly, a bashful Gu Xiaoling said to Meng Yajun, "Yajun, I’ve divorced and I don’t want to stay in Hai City, that sad place. I want to come to Imperial to make a fresh start, but I’m new here and don’t know anyone. I’d like to ask for help from you, my cousin, to find me a job."
Just looking for a job?
Meng Yajun breathed a sigh of relief, this was easy to handle. He’d been helping a lot of classmates find jobs recently. Of course, it was through backdoor channels, but he didn’t just randomly place people. He arranged jobs based on what they were actually good at.
He nodded slightly and said indifferently, "What kind of job are you looking for? Or rather, what skills do you have?"
Gu Xiaoling hadn’t expected that he would not only not refuse, but also give her a chance to choose.
It seemed he had a lot of ability and was well-connected here.
In that case, she definitely couldn’t let go.
She said with a smile, "What I’m best at is selling clothes, as you know, my family used to run a clothing store."
Run a clothing store?
Tong Wen’s family also ran a clothing store.
With Meng Chuyue’s factory supplying goods, Gu Xiaoling could also open a clothing store.
He silently calculated the costs of opening a store and asked Gu Xiaoling, "How much capital do you have? If it’s enough, you can open your own clothing store. I can help you find a wholesale factory."
The clothes from Meng Chuyue’s company sold extremely well. If it wasn’t for those irresponsible members of his family, he would have liked them to come sell clothes too.
Gu Xiaoling, without a penny to her name, rolled her eyes and said, "I don’t have any money, he cheated, and to get divorced I voluntarily walked away with nothing. Uh, could I possibly buy on credit?"
Let alone the fact that Gu Xiaoling was a distant relative with whom he wasn’t very close, even if she was immediate family, he wouldn’t dare lend them money recklessly now.
Because he had suffered through hard times and knew the difficulties that come with being penniless.
Moreover, he needed to save money to repay Meng Chuyue.
Fuming, she glared at Meng Chuyue before leaving, but Meng Chuyue called out to her, "Wait, Gu Xiaoling, before you go, I have to settle an account with you.
I’ll tell you the truth, you only got the preferential treatment because I wasn’t home when you arrived, and my family thought you were really my friend. If I had been home, you wouldn’t have been allowed through my front door. You’ve been living here for so long without paying for medical expenses, and everything you’ve eaten and used is mine; anyone would honestly say thank you, but what about you? You’re still resentful of me. Tell me, how can someone who never stops badmouthing others have the face to?"
Gu Xiaoling felt like she was living an immortal’s life at Meng Chuyue’s place.
She also felt that as long as she pretended to be sick, she could continue living ... not forever, but for the time being, it was doable.
She thought it would be hard for her to get caught.
No matter how skilled Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci were in medicine, they were not immortals, so how could they possibly cure all diseases?
It was normal for them not to have cured her.
She even hoped that Meng Chuyue would arrange a job for her mother, so that, this way, she and her mother wouldn’t just be freeloaders; it would be more like Meng Chuyue giving them a discount.
She thought she had everything figured out, little did she know that although Meng Chuyue was not an immortal, she had Divine Medicine.
Since it could treat all diseases, it would be impossible for it not to cure Gu Xiaoling’s minor mental disorder.
Along with Gu Xiaoling’s bad character, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci saw through her intentions without even having to think.
