Meng Yajun continued speaking as they calmed down, "I now earn twenty thousand a month. Although I need to save up to buy a house, a car, and to get married, I can still afford to rent you two an apartment. Once you find a job, if you think the employee dormitory isn’t up to par, I’ll rent an apartment for you."
Meng Jingfen and Fu Hongfang felt relieved.
Fu Hongfang said, "Okay, just remember to arrange something close for Jingfen and me."
Meng Jingfen said, "I think, whether the employee dormitory is good or not, we should rent an apartment outside. It would be more comfortable."
Meng Jingfen really never changes, years in prison were all in vain.
In that case, I shouldn’t find her a job that could easily cause trouble. Better to have her work honestly in a factory.
He nodded faintly, "Rest here for a bit, I’ll change my clothes, take you out to eat, buy some clothes, and then take you to the hotel."
He wouldn’t be stingy with necessary expenditures, but Meng Yajun made it clear he wouldn’t let himself lose autonomy.
To prevent Meng Jingfen from getting too arrogant, Meng Yajun didn’t use his private car but called a taxi instead.
They first went to a moderately sized restaurant for a meal and then went shopping for clothes and shoes.
Coincidentally, as they passed a modest-looking small restaurant, Meng Lingmei and Wu Yuanchun were just coming out, having just eaten there.
Meng Jingfen immediately scoffed, pleased with herself, "Ha, to think they dined in such a place. She didn’t see how upscale the place I just came from was."
She felt smug, unaware that her behavior only increased Meng Yajun’s disappointment and wariness toward her.
Not only her, even Fu Hongfang became guarded, fearing she might cause trouble someday.
Shopping for clothes, Meng Yajun originally planned to buy them quite a few.
They started with some mid-range items and then bought a couple of nicer pieces.
He thought they’d have to be coaxed to buy the expensive clothes, but only Fu Hongfang was concerned about him spending too much.
However, Meng Jingfen shopped as if spending her own money, grabbing things carelessly and even insisting on buying gold jewelry.
Hearing that Fu Hongfang didn’t want any, she shamelessly said, "Mom doesn’t need it at her age, so buy a few more pieces for me instead?"
Meng Yajun smirked, "Are you trying to take me for a fool? Do you know how much this all costs?"
Over thirty thousand. Meng Jingfen really had the gall.
Meng Jingfen gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I wasn’t planning to buy so many expensive things, but the sales clerk told me that your clothes are worth hundreds of thousands, and so is your watch.
How can I appear shabby when you dress so well?
Meng Yajun laughed out of exasperation, "Just because she says so? Besides, my clothes are provided by my company, and the watch is a company award; I didn’t pay for them. I’m only giving you five thousand, you pay the rest yourself."
Fucking stingy, earning twenty thousand a month, after all these years, why can’t he spend a little more on his own sister?
She looked at Fu Hongfang for help, only to hear her say, "Yeah, Jingfen, your brother needs to save money for a house and a car; you need to be thrifty."
Fu Hongfang also felt that Meng Jingfen was being excessive, aiming to spend more than a month of Meng Yajun’s salary in one go, which was simply asking for trouble. She resolved to lecture her thoroughly later that night.
After shopping for Fu Hongfang and Meng Jingfen, Meng Yajun bought some other items for the rest of the family and mailed them, before finally taking them to the hotel.
It was still a mid-range hotel.
But the decor was very stylish and luxurious, making Meng Jingfen feel smug again.
However, upon hearing that the hotel was owned by Meng Chuyue, her mood soured immediately.
Such a nice hotel, all belonging to Meng Chuyue, and she owned many ...
Fucking hell, I really want to strangle her.
