651 As Long as I’m Useless Enough, No One Will Want to Use Me
“Are you sure?” He Yuanyuan threatened.
“Yes, yes, I’m sure.”
He Yuanyuan, “…”
The scene was very awkward.
Am I not beautiful?
“I’m not criticizing you,” Lin Yi said, “Dongdong is a little young, but he’s not blind. Why do you have to embarrass yourself?”
“How am I embarrassing myself? The number of people chasing me can form a line that goes around the block! It’s just that I don’t like any one of them.”
“You’re just jealous because I don’t like you.”
“That’s not true.” He Yuanyuan said, “You’re just a kid who don’t know anything. Kids are always poor and unreasonable. You’re not my cup of tea.”
“Then go look for an old man. An old man is mature and stable. He can even offer you a low salary every month. He’s perfect for you.”
“Senior Sister, look at him. He’s always talking smack about me!”
Ji Qingyan looked at the two of them speechlessly. “The two of you should behave more normally. Lingyun Group is such a big business. If it falls into your hands when you behave like this, it’ll be doomed.”
“Then I’ll listen to you and give her some face.”
“The two of you don’t have to talk about each other anymore. It’s pointless.”
He Yuanyuan’s expression was bitter. “Senior Sister, you’ve changed.”
Walking out of the cemetery, Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. “Let’s go out for a walk in the afternoon. I’ll buy something for Dongdong and then go to Yangcheng. How about that?”
“I’m fine with anything. Please arrange it.”
“Sister, you’ve already bought me a lot of clothes. I don’t want anymore. Can we leave now?”
“You want to leave now? Don’t be in such a hurry. Stay with me for another day.”
“But I still want to go. If I stay here, I’ll think of Grandma.”
Ji Qingyan glanced at Lin Yi, who nodded. “Let’s go now. He can get used to the new environment sooner.”
“In that case, I’ll book a flight now.”
“Boss, are you leaving now?” He Yuanyuan asked.
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
“We’ve drawn up a list of enterprises to invest in. One of them is in Yangcheng. Do you want to take a look?”
Lin Yi was silent for a moment. “Let’s see how it goes. If there’s enough time, we’ll go over and take a look.”
“Alright, I’ll inform them first.”
“You guys can make the arrangements, but I’m not sure if I’ll end up going or not.”
In the past, Lin Yi would ignore their investments and let them do whatever they wanted.
However, now, the business that he wanted to invest in was all related to the lithography machine. Therefore, he really had to pay attention.
Even so, he was not always available.
After giving some simple instructions, He Yuanyuan drove back to the company.
Ji Qingyan began to check for tickets, but there were no more flights available.
Lin Yi gave Qin Han a call and borrowed his private jet. He made some simple preparations and flew straight to Yangcheng.
At three in the afternoon, when the three of them arrived at the orphanage, they saw the children playing on the playground.
If it weren’t for a sign at the door, anyone who saw them would have thought it was a school and not an orphanage.
“Brother Yi!”
Seeing Lin Yi come over, all the children in the courtyard ran over and surrounded him.
“Hello, Sister-in-Law.”
‘Huh?’
Ji Qingyan was stunned by the term sister-in-law.
It turned out that they all called her sister-in-law. Why were they suddenly calling her this now?
She bent down and squatted in front of a chubby girl, gently pinching her cheeks.
“Why aren’t you calling me sister anymore?”
“My mom said that from now on, we have to call you sister-in-law whenever we see you. We can’t call you sister anymore.”
“Um…”
This made the thin-skinned Ji Qingyan feel embarrassed.
“Do you not like us calling you that? In that case, I’ll call you sister.”
“No, no.” Ji Qingyan pinched the chubby girl’s cheeks. “I like it.”
Before coming, Lin Yi had told Wang Cuiping about the situation. The latter was thus aware that the two of them would be dropping by.
Hence, she had reminded the children in the courtyard to address her as sister-in-law.
This further solidified her identity.
Although she was a little embarrassed, Ji Qingyan was still happy.
Suddenly, it felt like their relationship was out in the open.
How nice.
Not long after they arrived at the courtyard, Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu walked out of the building.
“This is Dongdong, right?”
Lin Yi nodded and smiled. “Greet them as Mom and Dad.”
Wang Dongdong nervously retreated and hid behind Ji Qingyan. He only dared to look at Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu from the corner of his eye.
“Don’t be anxious. The child has just arrived. He’s shy and will take some time to adapt.”
Wang Cuiping was very experienced in dealing with such matters.
After such a huge incident, the child had to undergo a period of familiarization.
It was normal for him to act this way.
“Let’s go. Don’t stand here. Let’s go in first. The food is ready, so let’s eat,” Wang Cuiping said.
“Wait a few more minutes. Ningyue will be here soon,” Zhao Quanfu said.
“Is Ning Yue coming too?”
“Doesn’t she always do this? Every time you come back, she will come back and visit,” Zhao Quanfu said with a smile.
“Brother, Sister-in-Law.”
At this moment, Guo Ningyue’s voice came from behind. She jogged over and held Ji Qingyan’s arm with a smile.
“Sister-in-Law, you’re getting more and more beautiful. I’m so envious.”
“You’re just like your brother. You only know how to flatter people.”
“No, hehe, I’m really envious. Not only are you good-looking, but your figure is also good. I’m drooling.”
“You look even more like your brother now.”
Lin Yi, “…”
Was why he getting targetted?
“Let’s go. Everyone’s here. Let’s go in and eat.” Zhao Quanfu called out, “Your mother has made delicious food for you. The dishes will get cold soon.”
“Let’s go.”
When they reached the third floor, they saw more than ten dishes on the table. There were prawns, crabs, pork ribs, and beef. These were all special dishes in the eyes of ordinary people.
“Yueyue, what are you busy with nowadays?” Ji Qingyan asked casually.
“Hehe, I’m a streamer.”
“Streamer?”
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were a little surprised.
Did she want to be in the same business as her brother?
“That’s quite interesting. After work tonight, I’ll go and broadcast it for a while. It’s only been half a month, but I’ve already earned more than 2,000 yuan. If I work hard, I might earn more than my main job.”
“But that’s not a long-term solution.”
“Why don’t you join me or your brother’s company? We won’t treat you badly.”
Guo Ningyue chuckled. “I know that you and my brother won’t treat me badly, but if the company finds out that the sister of the dignified President Lin still has to work in the company to earn money to support herself, won’t it embarrass my brother?”
“You’re already a big girl, why don’t you have any shame?” Wang Cuiping scolded jokingly.
“Your brother and sister-in-law’s money doesn’t come from thin air.”
“Isn’t the orphanage now supported by my brother? I’m also a member of the orphanage. Isn’t it natural for my brother to support me?”
“Don’t say such embarrassing words. Your brother was really unlucky in his previous life to have a sister like you.”
“Mom, I think you’re absolutely right.”
“Daughter, I have to say something about you. Although your brother is rich, you have to work hard too. Otherwise, won’t you become a piece of trash?”
“Isn’t it good to be a beautiful piece of trash?” Guo Ningyue said shamelessly.
“When I was young, you guys always reminded me to learn to be smarter so that I wouldn’t be used by others once I grew up. I’ve also figured it out now. As long as I’m useless enough, no one will want to use me.”
With that, Guo Ningyue looked at Lin Yi. “Brother, I hope you can give me a chance to be this piece of trash.”
“I’ll put the soles of my shoes on your face.”
“Mom, look at my brother. He’s going to hit me.”
“You can’t blame your brother for this,” Wang Cuiping said.
“The two of you are only one year apart, but look at your brother. He has already brought back my daughter-in-law. When are you going to bring back a son-in-law for me?”
“I have a boyfriend. I’ll bring him back for you to meet.”
“When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn’t I know about this?”
Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu were shocked.
Compared to Lin Yi, the two of them were more concerned about Guo Ningyue.
After all, she was a girl. If she met a bad person, she would be at a disadvantage.
“I met him at work. His family is quite well-off.”
“Little Yue, have you told them about our situation?” Wang Cuiping asked.
“You have to understand one thing. Although the orphanage is rich, it’s all your brother’s money. You have to explain our situation to them.”
“Your mother is right,” Zhao Quanfu added.
“Don’t go looking for rich and handsome people. These people are unreliable. You have to marry someone who’s dutiful and treats you well.”
“Uncle is right.” Ji Qingyan nodded firmly.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Wang Cuiping complained.
“My son is good-looking and rich. He treats my daughter-in-law quite well.”
“Lil Yi is an exception. We have to look at the overall situation.”
“You’re right.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve told the other party about my situation. I’ll protect myself. In any case, don’t worry. I’ll bring him back for you to meet and inspect.”
“Let your brother and sister-in-law handle this matter. They’re knowledgeable and have better perception than me.”
“Okay.”
The family ate happily until night time.
However, when they left, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan left Wang Dongdong behind.
From now on, he would be living here. Although they couldn’t bear to part with him, and he wasn’t used to it, they still had to accept reality.
There were some things that humans could not do.
“Brother, it was not easy for you and my sister-in-law to find time to come here. Stay here and hang out for a few more days,” Guo Ningyue said after they left the orphanage.
“I don’t mind, but your sister-in-law has a lot of things to do. You have to ask her if she can stick around.”
Guo Ningyue held Ji Qingyan’s arm.
“Sister-in-law, I know you’re busy with work. Stay here for another day. Let’s hang out tomorrow, then have dinner with my boyfriend at night. Help me check him out. If you and my brother think it’s okay, I’ll continue dating him. If not, we’ll break up.”
Ji Qingyan looked troubled. “It’s fine for us to stay for another day, but your brother and I can’t make decisions for you when it comes to relationships. You have to make the decision yourself. We can only give you advice.”
“It’s okay, I’ll listen to you two,” Guo Ningyue said. “Last time, I brought my boyfriend back. If my brother wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have known that his character was so bad.”
“Alright, I’ll help you check him tomorrow,” Lin Yi agreed.
“Hehe, it’s settled then. I’ll look for you tomorrow morning.”
“Tomorrow is Monday, right? Aren’t you going to work?” Lin Yi said.
“Since you’re so rich, why would I still work? Wouldn’t that be slapping your face?”
With that, Guo Ningyue took a taxi and left with a smile. Lin Yi was speechless.
“Sigh, why do I have such a shameless sister?”
“You’re her brother. Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?”
