Chapter 912 Establishing a Sister-in-law’s Prestige
“I’m not busy. What’s wrong?”
“I have good news for you. We’re about to reach Zhonghai. Come and pick us up if you aren’t busy,” Guo Ningyue said with a smile. “I didn’t hear what you said.”
“I said we’ll be in Zhonghai soon.”
“I’m talking about the last sentence.”
“The last question was me asking whether you were busy or not.”
“I’m too busy.”
“Ahhh! Brother, you can’t do this. We’re getting off the high-speed rail in an hour.
Come and pick us up quickly.”
“That’s not good news at all.”
“You haven’t seen me for almost a month. Aren’t you happy that I took the initiative to look for you this time?”
“It’s useless even if you were to look for me. All my money is with your sister-in-law. It’s impossible for me to spend it on you even if I wanted to.”
“Oh, I see… Du, du, du…”
Seeing that Guo Ningyue had hung up, Lin Yi’s face darkened.
“What kind of person is this?!”
“Ningyue is here in Zhonghai. She must want to spend your money. If you say you don’t have money, she will definitely ignore you.”
“Human nature is really too scary.”
“That’s not the reason. It’s just that you’re too stingy. If you were more generous, Ningyue wouldn’t be like this.”
Ring ring ring!
Just as Ji Qingyan was speaking, the phone in her bag rang. Without a doubt, it was Guo Ningyue.
“Sister-in-law, are you busy?”
“I’m not busy,” replied Ji Qingyan with a smile.
“I’m coming to Zhonghai soon. Let’s go shopping tonight.”
“You don’t have to wait for tonight. I’ll pick you up later. I also want to buy some things.”
“Hehe, Sister-in-law, you’re the best. You’re much better than my brother. What sins have I, Guo Ningyue, committed to have such a wicked brother who can’t bear to spend a single cent on me? A villain like him won’t survive more than three chapters in a novel.”
“Is it alright for you to say that about him? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll hear you?” Ji Qingyan suppressed her laughter.
“Even if he heard me, he would still proudly declare his immorality.” Guo Ningyue said.
“He may be rich, but I’m still the one in the right.”
“You’re right. I’ll pick you up at the high-speed rail station later.”
“Hehe, thank you, Sister-in-law.”
“Mr. Lin, your sister, who has lived with you for more than 20 years, has said such things about you. Shouldn’t you reflect on your actions?”
“Just watch and see if I bother taking care of her later.”
“You have to be careful. She came with her boyfriend. She’s a big girl now. You have to be careful even if you’re mad.”
“I don’t think she’s with her boyfriend. She’s probably here with the others from the orphanage.”
“The oldest of the children in the hospital is only in his teens. Mother Wang would worry about her bringing them over.”
“You only caught a glimpse of the children. A few of them are even in college. They’ve all gone home for the holidays, so I think they came together.”
“Is there anyone I haven’t seen before?”
“Of course. You’ll meet them later.”
“That won’t do.
“I put on this outfit to match you in visiting the countryside. It doesn’t look good at all. If they see me like this, they’ll secretly laugh at me.”
“Don’t be so sensitive. Why would they laugh at you?”
“This outfit doesn’t look good at all. It’s too casual. I have to dress more formal,” said Ji Qingyan.
“Hurry up and drive. Let’s go back to Jiuzhou Pavilion first. I’ll get a set of clothes before we leave.”
“Do we really have to? It’s not a big deal.”
“How is this not a big deal? Hurry up and start the car. Just listen to me.”
Under Ji Qingyan’s orders, Lin Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Ji Qingyan did not change at home. Instead, she took off the clothes, pants, and shoes she was supposed to wear and prepared to change in the car.
“Ji Qingyan, you’re getting too bold. You’re not even wearing leggings anymore? It’s not even spring yet.”
“This is a special situation. I can’t worry so much about my leggings.”
“What’s so special about it?”
“As their sister-in-law, if my figure is not as good as theirs and my legs are not as thin as theirs, won’t I be embarrassed? How can I establish my prestige in front of them in the future if this is the case?”
“Your prestige isn’t built on your figure, right?”
“You don’t understand. When women are together, they compete in this aspect.
“Where did you hear all this nonsense?”
“How can this be considered nonsense?” Ji Qingyan replied.
“When you guys are together, you compete to see who’s rich. When girls are together, we naturally compete to see whose figure is better.”
“Ah, you’re right.”
Ji Qingyan quickly changed her clothes in the car and spent the rest of her time touching up her makeup.
In just half an hour, she had completed the shocking transformation from a village girl to a female CEO.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi drove all the way to the high-speed rail station and soon arrived at the train station.
Not long after, they saw Guo Ningyue and three other people trotting toward Ji Qingyan. “Sister-in-law, I missed you so much.” However, before Guo Ningyue could hug Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi grabbed her collar and pulled her in front of him.
“What did you just say? That I’m immoral?”
“Sister-in-law, how dare you rat me out!”
“I didn’t.” Ji Qingyan shook her head.
“When you were on the phone just now, your brother was sitting beside me. He heard everything.”
“Brother, I didn’t do it on purpose just now.
Don’t take it to heart. In my heart, you’re still the best brother. Muah.”
“Get lost, get lost. Don’t even think about spending a single cent of my money in the future.”
“So be it. My sister-in-law is holding the money anyway. We can still survive without relying on you men.”
“If I don’t say the word, your sister-in-law wouldn’t dare to buy anything for you.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s not bicker the moment we meet.”
Ji Qingyan shot Lin Yi a look.
He wanted Lin Yi to introduce the other three kids to him.
“Let me introduce you guys. Her name is Ji Qingyan. When your Sister Yue was in the car, she probably told you to just call her sister-in-law.”
With that, Lin Yi pointed at the two girls and said, “Her name is Zheng Yawen. She’s a freshman at Yanjing International Studies University. This is Wen Wanting, a third-year student at Fengtian Medical University.”
“The remaining one is my younger brother, Chen Xuanyu. He’s in his third year at Northeast Normal University and attends a good school. It’s much better than my Zhonghai Institute of Technology.”
“Hello, Sister-in-law.”
The three of them were a little fearful. Sister-in-law’s aura was too strong. “You don’t have to be so polite. Let’s eat first then go out for a walk in the afternoon.” Ji Qingyan could tell that although Lin Yi’s tone was calm, his words could not hide his pride.
As the elder brother, he was also happy that his younger siblings were promising. “Thank you, Sister-in-law.” The six of them got into the car. After this, Lin Yi found a restaurant to eat and drove them all to Times Square.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve seen this place on Douyin. The things here are very expensive,” Guo Ningyue said.
“It’s fine. I’m holding all your brother’s money. Just spend it freely.”
“Sister-in-law, I saw something on the Internet when I was on the way here. Burberry just released a new coat. It’s super beautiful. I want to buy one,” Guo Ningyue said.
“It looks quite similar to the one you’re wearing.”
“Well, I’m currently wearing Burberry.”
