Chapter 582 - 580: It’s not about money anymore
The car quickly reached the luxurious area where Li Yi was located. Having followed Lu Beichen for so many years, he naturally wasn’t far behind.
After pressing the doorbell for a short time, there was a beep, the door opened, and a small hand had just reached out when Shen Congling’s voice was heard, "Thank you for the delivery!"
Ji Niandong reached over and tapped her hand. The door was suddenly pulled open, the words Shen Congling was about to blurt out all swallowed down her throat, and then she gazed at them with a mouth large enough to fit an egg for a few seconds, "Sister Tongtong, brother-in-law handsome guy, why are you here?"
Feeling guilty, she glanced at Ji Niandong and quickly backed away a few steps, "Would you like to come in and sit?"
Her voice grew softer and softer, almost floating.
As Ji Niandong walked in, a strong smell of fried food greeted her, and a few steps further, she was more amazed.
The spacious and bright living room, with cozy and warm decor, and a pleasant scattering of soft lighting. The homeowner obviously had taste and a sense of lifestyle.
However, the sofa, the table, the floor in the living room were a mess, snacks, tidbits, garbage... all cluttered around.
Ji Niandong didn’t want to step in for a moment, the TV was blaring a noisy variety show, clearly Shen Congling’s handiwork.
Lu Beichen was standing at the door without stepping in, merely asking blandly, "Where is Li Yi?"
Upon hearing his question, Shen Congling seemed to be rescued and turned around to dash toward the study room, then desperately knocked at the study door, "Dull gourd, dull gourd..."
She knocked twice, and Li Yi angrily opened the door, "Didn’t I say, if you come to bother me, do as you please!"
It was rare for Ji Niandong to see Li Yi angry; she felt this world quite fascinating.
Shen Congling gestured outside with her eyes, only then did Li Yi notice them both standing at the door, not stepping down and entering.
He was wearing home attire, with metal glasses perched on his nose, looking even gentler than usual. He awkwardly walked over and greeted each, "Boss, Madam, why are you here so late? Want to come sit inside?"
He turned back to look at the mess in the living room, then closed his eyes briefly and asked, "How about sitting at the dining table?"
"No way, all my food is there too." Shen Congling hurriedly rushed over and said, "I haven’t finished my chicken wings yet."
Li Yi’s expression completely stiffened.
"No need to sit inside!" Ji Niandong had seen Shen Congling this messy before; every time Aunt He was tormented half dead, "I came just to check on Lingling, because she caused you trouble without thinking."
"It’s nothing." Li Yi said somewhat aggrievedly.
Shen Congling rushed over and frowned, asking, "Sister Tongtong, did you come because you knew about my issue?"
"How dare you say that?" Ji Niandong’s expression grew a bit stern.
"Didn’t you say you wouldn’t tell brother-in-law handsome guy, wouldn’t let Sister Tongtong know?" Shen Congling turned and started questioning Li Yi, "If I knew you were tricking me, I wouldn’t have trusted you."
Li Yi gave her a glance, wanting to speak but held back.
Ji Niandong pulled her close and said, "You made such a big scene, you think Li Yi needs to tell me?"
She pulled Shen Congling aside to stand properly, Shen Congling, like a child who made a mistake, lowered her head and softly said, "Sister Tongtong, I’m sorry, I messed up again, but don’t worry, I’ll handle it myself, won’t cause you trouble."
She truly appeared to realize her mistake, Li Yi turned his head to look at her.
"Handle it yourself? How will you handle it? Are you able to pay or what? Besides, it’s not about money now."
