How could she not regret it? She knew what such an agreement between herself and Jin Di would entail. Danil had also said it clearly enough! There would have been many benefits to her accepting.
Moreover, Jin Di was born with beautiful, unblemished skin that made both man and God angry. And even if she treated him like a human-shaped inflatable doll, she would still get her money.
Why had she let herself reject such a good deal in a fit of anger?
"Hey, why are you sighing? Here. This is the amount you asked for. I've saved it into this card for you—the password is my birthday. You can return the money to that jerk Chen Ziyi first! And if auntie ever needs more money for hospital bills in the future, you just let me know. I'm on my own now, so I have plenty of money to spare. Besides, if I run out, I still have my brother. You didn't call him husband for nothing. If he knew, he would definitely have given the money to you without a second thought!"
Zuo Aiai smiled and took the card from Lei Xiaoxiao. She was so touched that she couldn't speak.
"Forget it. I'm already embarrassed to trouble you, so how can I trouble Lei Ting? Besides, both of you don't want to rely on your family to survive. As your friend, how can I burden you?"
The hospital fees were not a small amount. In addition to the cost of resuscitation, there was also the expensive imported medicine for her mother's paralysis.
After the Zuo family became down-and-out, all of her brand-name clothing and jewelry had been sold. Her father had stopped spending money on her mother's illness four years ago.
Zuo Aiai had saved up all that money bit by bit, plus the occasional income from the flower shop.
But now...even the flower shop...
"We're a family. What happens to Auntie is my business. How can I not care? Also, you don't look well today. Did something else happen?"
The matter of the flower shop being bought by Jin Di wasn't reported in the newspapers, so no one in Binhai City knew about it.
She didn't want to tell Lei Xiaoxiao and Lei Ting that Jin Di wasn't someone to be trifled with. Lei Xiaoxiao and Lei Ting weren't afraid of anything. Once they found out about it, they would inevitably cause trouble for him.
She smiled and pretended to be fine "It's nothing. What could be wrong? It's just that Chen Ziyi brought Zuo Yunyun shopping for a wedding dress. When I go home, everyone will spit on me. But it's nothing. Now that my mother is in the hospital, I've moved there too. I'm planning to find a job in a few days. After my mother recovers, we can rent a house to live in together."
"That's good. At least you don't have to see their faces anymore. You should also take care of your health!"
"Yeah, that's why...look, isn't Lei Ting looking to hire some new people?"
"Who, you? You got drunk after a glass of wine last night, and then you went to the bathroom and took the wrong path. After that, you ran to the Hilton Hotel and spent the night there. And you want to work here? At this hotel? Stop Joking! Zuo Aiai, if word got out that you were working here..."
She had only told Lei Xiaoxiao that she was drunk last night, but hadn't told her about all the other things that happened.
Lei Xiaoxiao at least believed her without any doubts, which was a relief.
"If it gets out, so be it. I don't have much of a reputation now anyway, so I don't mind if it gets worse."
"Besides, if you sell alcohol here, you have to drink with the customers. With your alcohol tolerance, how would that work?"
Zuo Aiai had nothing to say to that.
At that moment...
