Chapter 503: The middle-aged overbearing president falls in love with the cleaning lady (2)
Aunt Shen has been worried since she received the call in the morning. She almost fell to the ground while cleaning the bathroom on the ninth floor. Fortunately, Xiao Jin who passed by caught her in time.
"Auntie, what are you thinking about so intently?" The young girl had a teasing look on her face. She originally wanted to make a joke of Aunt Shen and gossip about her relationship with Weng Luecheng, but when she discerned the distressed expression on Aunt Shen's face, she suddenly became nervous.
"What happened?"
Aunt Shen sighed heavily. "My son called me this morning and said my daughter-in-law wanted a gold bracelet. She didn't want it for herself, but for the baby in her belly."
"The young couple can buy whatever they want. Auntie, are you so overbearing that you won't let them spend money on gold jewelry?" Xiao Jin asked without thinking. To reassure Aunt Shen, she continued, "Most young people nowadays only have one child, so they definitely want the best for the child. Buying a gold bracelet is nothing compared to that."
Seeing that Xiao Jin misunderstood her meaning, Aunt Shen hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't let them buy it, but..." The woman paused in the middle of her words, as if she had something to hide.
Xiao Jin's curiosity piqued. She took a step closer, looked into Aunt Shen's eyes, and asked, "What is it?"
"Let me pay."
Xiao Jin didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "What do you want me to pay for?"
Aunt Shen took a deep breath and confessed, "They asked me to pay for the gold bracelet for the child."
I see… Xiao Jin was shocked. People who rely on their parents for support are so shameless! She angrily spoke up for Aunt Shen: “Why should I ask you to pay?”
"Because I get my salary today." Aunt Shen's voice was very calm, as if she had already decided to donate all the money.
"No..." Xiao Jin scratched his hair in frustration. "Is there any direct connection between your salary and buying a gold bracelet? Is the child going to be born tonight? Do you want to have a gold bracelet right now?"
"No, I just checked it out. It's only been a little over a month."
Is this the point? The point is that Shen Zhiqian and his wife want to buy a gold bracelet for their child. Why should Aunt Shen pay for it all? This is the point!
"Auntie..." Xiao Jin advised earnestly, "I don't object to you wanting to buy gold jewelry for your future grandson, but you have to think about why they asked for it on your payday. Maybe they calculated that you would agree."
"I didn't agree." Aunt Shen said lightly.
"You didn't agree!" Xiao Jin confirmed with a look of surprise: "Auntie, you really didn't agree?"
Aunt Shen nodded. She was planning to buy a bracelet with a gold pendant for Weng Luecheng. She had already planned how to use this month's salary, and now she had to pay rent, so she had no money left, let alone buy a gold bracelet for her future grandson or granddaughter.
However, by the end of the year, she would have saved enough money. When she spoke to Shen Zhiqian on the phone this morning, he got angry when she initially refused, yelled at her, and immediately hung up the phone without giving her a chance to explain.
"Auntie, I was going to praise you." Xiao Jin showed a look of disgust on his face after hearing what Aunt Shen said, "Can't you be tougher? And..." Asking the child's grandmother for a gold bracelet so early is like having a money tree. They don't even have to shake it with their hands, just a few words and Aunt Shen will happily give them money.
Wait! In a flash, a bold guess popped up in Xiao Jin's mind. She secretly glanced at Aunt Shen, but finally gave up on telling her what was in her heart.
The woman secretly picked up her phone. Since her boss had asked her to report everything related to Aunt Shen, her reasonable inferences must also be taken into account. Xiao Jin was arranging words and sentences in the input method. If she could go back in time, she would definitely work hard on her Chinese.
"Xiao Jin." Aunt Shen stared at the young girl who was typing frantically on her phone. "You won't tell anyone about me, will you?"
"Of course..." Xiao Jin came back to his senses, stopped what he was doing, and quickly denied, "Absolutely not!"
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm known for my tight-lipped nature. I'll keep anything anyone tells me a secret." To enhance her credibility, she raised her right hand firmly. "I swear I won't tell anyone! Otherwise, I'll be struck by lightning!"
Seeing the other person's determined look as if he were ready to die, if she didn't stop him, who knew what he would say. Aunt Shen hurriedly comforted him, "I believe it, I believe it..."
In order to avoid being exposed, Xiao Jin pretended to have something urgent to deal with and quickly separated from Aunt Shen.
After talking with Xiao Jin, Aunt Shen still felt uneasy. The high spirits she had when she woke up in the morning had turned into weakness. She picked up her phone and wanted to call Weng Luecheng.
When this idea appeared in her mind, the woman was startled, and soon a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Now she had someone to discuss with when she encountered problems.
"Xiao Shen," cleaning lady Lao Yang patted her shoulder, "go heat up the food."
After lunch, Aunt Shen sat on the stairs leading to the tenth floor from the ninth floor. She usually sat on the stairs on the top floor, but today she sat here with the hope of meeting someone by chance. Her eyes were not on the mobile phone on her knees at all, and her neck seemed to have stretched out half a meter, and she kept looking downstairs.
About half an hour later, a greeting came from the corridor, "Mr. Weng."
The woman was delighted, her buttocks had already left the ground, and her legs seemed to be injected with strength. She took two steps at a time and moved quickly to the stairs on the ninth floor.
"Ouch..." Aunt Shen's eyes went dark and her head hit something hard. She squinted her eyes and looked up, and Weng Luecheng's handsome and tough face appeared in front of her.
"Hehe..." The woman giggled twice, supporting the man's chest with her hands, "Is there something you want to deal with at the company?"
"It's okay, come with me." Weng Luecheng took the woman's hand, went down the freight elevator to the underground garage, and took her to the car. "Are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner."
Pfft!
Aunt Shen couldn't help laughing. They two lived together now, so it was normal for them to have dinner together. If they couldn't go home on time for dinner due to some reasons, they should have informed her in advance.
"What do you want to eat? I'll go grocery shopping after get off work."
The man shook his head. "Come and wait for me here after get off work. I'll come down to see you after I'm done with my work. I want to take you to a special restaurant today."
Drip!
"Hurry up and reincarnate!" Shen Yan cursed at the back of a white car and spat.
"Mom," Shen Zhiqian stopped the woman, "The elevator is here."
