Chapter 169: The Heart Has a Boundary (1)
"Sir, I won!" She spread the last three cards on the table together, clapped her hands together, and said excitedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, there's progress. Guan Mufeng raised his eyebrows, put a few cards in his hand into the pile of cards, and shuffled the cards.
Looking at Michelle, who was having fun next to him, he took the cards in his hand again and redealt them, but his movements slowed down a lot.
"Why didn't you eat today?" he asked casually.
Qiao Yingying didn't know why, she didn't want to tell him that she was looking for a job, so she said vaguely: "I forgot to play." ”
"Oh, what's the game?" he continued, still slowly dealing the cards in his hand.
"Shopping... Shopping. Qiao Yingying lowered her head and said.
"So what did you buy?" he seemed interested.
Qiao Yingying's head hung lower, and she said weakly: "I didn't buy anything..."
When Guan Mufeng heard this, his hand paused slightly, and his gaze swept over her whole body. A bright yellow short-sleeved shirt with small flowers and white beads on the neckline, and a pair of jeans, she still dressed as simple as when she used to go to work.
Qiao Yingying never cared about her dress, as long as she was clean and decent, warm and not showing her flesh, but under Guan Mufeng's gaze, she was a little cramped and embarrassed, and her hands and feet shrank unconsciously.
Guan Mufeng sighed secretly, finished the last card in his hand, and said softly: "If you have any financial difficulties, you can tell me, anyway, I have to donate to charity every year, and if you fund one more, you won't go bankrupt." ”
His rare slightly joking tone sounded like a sharp needle in Qiao Yingying's ears, piercing her painfully, and the hand on her knee clenched unconsciously. The first time she came here, she felt embarrassed by her poverty and despair, and this embarrassment made her feel extremely guilty, and she felt guilty for Li Suxian, who had worked hard for her.
In her previous life, she never knew the meaning of money, and even though life was hard in this life, she didn't feel inferior. But today, it is not easy for her to even find a low-paying part-time job, and the joy she feels after finding a job is only afraid that He Feng, who likes to drive sports cars, Guan Mufeng, who is worth immeasurable, and even Sister Mi Xue, can't understand it.
Sister Xiaomei once said that she and He Feng are people from two worlds and it is impossible to come together. She didn't understand it before, but now she seems to understand a little.
Just like in this room, everyone else can spend as much money as she wants, but she has to think about how to keep up with them for the money for a meal?
Such a realization made her eyes misty in an instant, and her eyelashes were full of tears.
Guan Mufeng looked at her knees-clasped hands, slightly trembling shoulders, couldn't help but change his face slightly, and was about to speak, but he saw a pair of big watery eyes looking at him, and the resoluteness and detachment in his eyes made his heart startled.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. Qiao Yingying endured the colic pain in her heart and continued in a calm voice, "But Yingying has hands and feet, she can take care of herself, and she doesn't need other people's charity. ”
Others' charity?Guan Mufeng's face instantly turned cold.
"In the past, in order to take care of me, my husband gave me a very high salary, and I will definitely pay you back when I earn money in the future. She added.
Guan Mufeng pursed his lips and stared at her with a heavy gaze.
Seeing that he was angry, Qiao Yingying's heart hurt so much that she could hardly breathe, but she pretended to be calm and stood up.
"Sister Michelle, I still have something to do, I want to go first. She didn't dare to look at Guan Mufeng anymore, and turned her head to Mi Xuedao.
"Huh, are you going to leave now?" Mi Xue said in surprise, her eyes swept over Guan Mufeng's gloomy face, and her heart couldn't help jumping.
"Well, school is going to start next week, and I'm going back to catch up on the homework I missed. She whispered.
"Alright then, I'll send you. Michelle hurriedly put down the cards in her hand.
"Sister Sun, Master Jin, Mr. He," Qiao Yingying finally looked at Guan Mufeng, "Sir, I'm leaving, goodbye." ”
With that, she put on her backpack and walked out of the box. With heavy steps, her thin back disappeared from everyone's sight.
