Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Troublesome Gift
After hearing this, Ye Xiaojing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"However", Ye Xiaoman said again, "It's okay not to borrow money, but the time of the operation can't be delayed any longer!" โ
Ye Xiaojing nodded in agreement, and after the matter was discussed, she got up and went to the kitchen to bring out the food and a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
The two of them simply finished the dinner and urged her sister to rest, Ye Xiaojing cleaned up the kitchen and returned to her room.
Close the door and turn on the lights in the room, the dim light shines on the beige walls, and the small room suddenly has a little warm feeling.
Ye Xiaojing sat down on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at her own blurry projection on the wall, and the words that her sister said in the living room just now gradually echoed in her ears again-
"200,000 is too little, I'll go find Uncle Wan tomorrow.
"I've heard people say that the cost of rehabilitation is very expensive, and it's better to make up a million.
"When we sold something, we should have kept one or twoโ"
After being stunned for a long time, Ye Xiaojing sighed softly, since the matter of the operation has been decided, she has to take one step at a time to see what the situation will be next.
Stretching slightly, Ye Xiaojing felt that she was very tired today, and it seemed that it was better to rest early.
Glancing at the empty bed, Ye Xiaojing stood up, walked to the cupboard and opened it, took out the pillow and quilt inside and threw it on the bed.
Just as she was about to close the cabinet door, a black box in the upper compartment of the closet caught her attention.
"It's supposed to be my sister's thing, why do you put it here?"
Ye Xiaojing muttered and took out the box, put it on the bed and opened it.
Inside the box, on a soft black background, lies a crystal pin in the shape of a rose.
Ye Xiaojing sighed lightly, and then remembered that she had received such a strange gift in the New Year.
It's both peculiar and precious!
Taking out the pins in the box and the black cashmere jacket, Ye Xiaojing carefully checked it many times, but still couldn't find the slightest clue of the giver.
Ye Xiaojing stared at the crystal rose pin lying quietly in the palm of her hand, her heart wandered, the person who could afford such a valuable gift, she thought about it, there were only two or three candidates, but among those two or three people, which one would it be?
Besides, why did that person give himself such a gift?
The confusion in Ye Xiaojing's heart is getting bigger and bigger, what is the purpose of the other party to give such a valuable gift? Or is it because, in the eyes of others, this is simply a small gift that is insignificant?
After thinking about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the slightest clue, Ye Xiaojing thought about it, and put the clothes and pins back in the box - until he figured out the reason for this matter, it was best not to touch them.
Looking blankly at the pure and flawless crystals that reflected the brilliant light under the light, Ye Xiaojing smiled bitterly and sighed lightly, fortunately, this pin is not made of diamonds, otherwise, with the value of this pin alone, they can probably pay off all their debts, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaojing immediately shook her head with a smile, such two gifts that add up to almost millions of dollars have already scared herself, if it is really a diamond, then she and her sister must not call the police immediately?
Well?
And so on -
Putting down the lid of the box that was about to be closed, Ye Xiaojing suddenly picked up the black box with crystal pins and a cashmere jacket.
Ye Xiaojing desperately suppressed her excitement, and held the box to her chest with slightly trembling hands - the conjecture just now suddenly reminded her, Ye Xiaojing only now realized that it was in this box in front of her that contained the one million they were in desperate need now!
Ye Xiaojing stood up excitedly and wanted to go next door to tell her sister the news.
But as soon as she reached the door, she hesitated and stopped.
She didn't know who the person who gave them was yet!
Ye Xiaojing went back to the house and lay on the bed and thought about it carefully for a long time, and in the end, she decided to tell her sister about it tomorrow, so that she could calm down for the time being.
As for finding the person who gave the gift, I can only try to figure out how to do it before the operation.
So, with a hint of excitement and uneasiness in her mind, Ye Xiaojing finally gradually fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Xiaojing set off from home and went directly to Cheng's company.
After seeing her, Cheng Qixin asked casually, "Ye Xiaojing, how is your sister?" โ
Ye Xiaojing said: "It's okay, thank you for your concern." โ
Cheng Qixin nodded, and then said: "This weekend, grandma is going to invite Yue Lei and Guan Wenxiang to a banquet, I have already personally called and invited them, if you are okay, you will accompany them at that time." โ
Ye Xiaojing was surprised: "I also want to participate?" Is that appropriate? โ
Cheng Qixin said: "Although you are a servant in our family, you are friends with them, and you should be invited to participate", after a pause, he added, "Besides, you will resign in less than a month, aren't you?" โ
"Okay, I got it." After Ye Xiaojing nodded in agreement, seeing that Cheng Qixin didn't give any more instructions, she turned around and retreated.
"That's rightโ" Just as Ye Xiaojing was about to leave the general manager's office, Cheng Qixin suddenly said as if she remembered something.
"What else does the general manager command?" Ye Xiaojing turned around, looked at the other party and asked.
Cheng Qixin said with a look of doubt on his face: "I just remembered that when I was on the phone with Yue Lei, he asked me to convey that I was very grateful for the milk jelly you made for him; In addition, he also mentioned that he was looking forward to the thing you promised him - Ye Xiaojing, did you promise him anything? โ
Ye Xiaojing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then remembered that she had promised Yue Lei to make a cake for him that day, so she smiled and said to Cheng Qixin: "Well, I know!" Does the general manager like to eat mousse cakes? โ
"Mousse cake?" Cheng Qixin was stunned and looked at Ye Xiaojing inexplicably.
Ye Xiaojing smiled and said, "Yes, a mousse cake with vanilla and strawberries added to the ordinary ingredients!" If the general manager likes to eat it too, I can make the cake a little bigger on the weekendsโ"
"Ye Xiaojing-" Cheng Qixin said with a straight face after hearing this, "I don't like vanilla or strawberries, so on that day, in addition to vanilla cake, you'd better make me another flavor!" โ
"Huh?!"
Hearing such an answer, Ye Xiaojing was still stunned after all, she looked at Cheng Qixin's current angry face, and had to accompany the smiling face again, and replied carefully: "Yes, I understand!" โ
