Chapter 147 Cake
Chapter 147 Cake
In less than half an hour, Julie came down.
From a distance, he looked very lonely, but when she walked to the alley and saw Jiang Li's car was still there, Zhu Li quickly adjusted her mood and put on a smile.
"Why are you still here?"
"I thought it was late now and I was worried that it would be difficult for you to get a taxi, so I wanted to be your driver."
Zhu Li smiled and opened the car door: "Then I will obey your command."
After Zhu Li sat down, Jiang Li asked, "Are you okay just now?"
Zhu Li fastened her seat belt and replied, "Not bad. My mother said that Mr. Jiang gave her 100,000 yuan and asked her to invite me out for dinner. If other things are successful in the future, there will be more."
Jiang Li couldn't even imagine it. What else could it be? What could it be? What kind of mother was this?
Zhu Li looked calm. "I asked my mother, the money I give them every month is more than enough for the whole family to not work, why did she want the 100,000 yuan? She said that my brother had a girlfriend, and the other party knew that I was an actor, so the gift money was very high, so she was tempted."
Jiang Li said bluntly: "It's better not to marry such a family that is greedy for money."
Zhu Li also laughed: "Isn't it? But whether they get married or not is their business. I used to be a free babysitter for the family, but now I am a cash cow that selflessly contributes. I have come to terms with it. If I get married in the future, I will just take care of my own little family. It has nothing to do with me who they marry."
Jiang Li responded: "That's right!"
"I told her that Mr. Jiang must return the 100,000 yuan, otherwise, I won't pay the 300,000 yuan that I originally promised to pay for the renovation of the house. At the same time, because they caused me to be beaten and scolded, I think my reputation will be ruined. I will reduce my household expenses by half in the future. Anyway, it will be enough for my parents' daily expenses, and that's enough."
When Julie finished speaking, her mother's face turned pale and she said, "How can that be enough? Don't you know how much your brother spends every month? His clothes cost money, and so does dating..."
Zhu Li interrupted her impatiently: "I don't care about this. I have no obligation to support him. Anyway, the household expenses are enough for you two old people. If you want to raise a son, you can give him some money from your own pocket. I have no objection."
After listening to this, Jiang Li gave a thumbs up and said, "You did the right thing!"
Zhu Li smiled: "Although it's annoying, I also think I did the right thing. Sometimes it's not that I want to be cruel, it's just that I have no choice."
She only has one life, and this is all she can do. She doesn't want to burn herself to light up others. After all, others may not be grateful if she burns herself out. She doesn't want to be such an idiot.
As we chatted, we soon arrived at the place where Zhu Li rented. I thought it would be a high-end community, but it turned out to be just an ordinary community. The house was not new, but it had security.
Zhu Li got off the car at the gate of the community and bowed to thank them: "Thank you so much today. I will definitely treat you to a meal some other day."
Julie meant what she said. Although there are good people in this world, you can't meet them every time you go out. If you do meet them, you should be grateful and cherish them.
After Zhu Li thanked him and was about to close the car door, Jiang Li suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped her.
"Wait, I have something for you."
Jiang Li suddenly bent down and took something out from her feet. When she handed it to Zhu Li, she realized that it was a small cake.
"There is no big cake, only a small six-inch cake. I hope you don't mind. Happy birthday to you."
Julie was a little stunned for a moment. When she just got back, her parents and her brother's family of three were having dinner. There were delicious fish and meat on the table, and there was a big chicken leg stuffed in her brother's bowl, as if it was his birthday.
No one in her family thought of celebrating her birthday, but unexpectedly, it was Jiang Li, a stranger, who gave her her first birthday cake.
Today she was filming until seven o'clock, and after the filming she rushed to the hotel, thinking it was a birthday party, but unexpectedly it was a Hongmen Banquet.
Knowing that he was being sold, how could he have the heart to eat?
Julie only drank a few sips of tea to cool down in the evening, then had a fight, and then returned home to kill her relatives for the sake of justice, although she was actually very hungry.
This cake by Jiang Li is really heart-warming and stomach-warming.
"Thank you so much, Jiang Li."
"This is what our brother Zhou Qian ran to buy. If you want to thank someone, then thank him."
Zhou Qian, who was suddenly Q'd, instantly blushed and stammered, "No... You're welcome, Sister Zhu Li, happy birthday to you."
Li Mubai, who was usually taciturn, spoke up for once: "Happy birthday."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Jiang Li waved her hand fiercely: "Okay, stop thanking me, and go up to eat the cake. I won't blow out the candles with you."
Julie smiled, like a blooming peony. This was the best mood she had been in the whole day.
Waving goodbye, Julie carried the small cake and walked lightly into the community.
After Zhu Li walked away, Zhou Qian also started the accelerator and slowly drove towards Li's house.
Jiang Li sat in the back seat by herself, thinking over and over again, but still felt uneasy.
"That fat woman today was not a good person. I don't know if she will come back to cause trouble for Julie or write something in the media."
Li Mubai said leisurely: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Jiang Li leaned forward and asked, "How do you know it won't happen?"
"Because tomorrow, Zhou Qian will go to various newspapers to take care of it."
Zhou Qian, who was suddenly Q'd again, tilted his head: "Ah? Brother Li? Why should I...ah...I understand!"
"Got it, Brother Li, I'll get it done!"
Zhou Qian shouted this sentence loudly, and Jiang Li, who didn't understand it just now, now understood it. The three of them really had a tacit understanding, and many things didn't need to be said clearly, and they knew each other. Li Mubai was also more enthusiastic than she thought.
However, they could only help up to this point. Julie would have to find a way to solve other difficulties on her own.
