Su Qing arrived, still somewhat worried about Ji Jing.
Seeing the dumplings thrown into the trash can and the two bottles of drinks all placed before Jiang Fan on the table, Ji Jing stood beside them, choking back sobs like a wronged young wife. Su Qing took a deep breath and stepped forward, inhaling deeply again.
"Jiang Fan, you can bully me if you want, but you can't bully Ji Jing. I..."
Angry, Su Qing rushed towards Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan turned his chair around, opened his arms, and squinted with a smile. But the next second, he was covering his forehead and crouching on the ground, while Ji Jing hurriedly stepped forward to hold Su Qing back, choking on her tears.
"Qing Qing, Jiang Fan didn't bully me, wah..."
Su Qing's concern and anger made Ji Jing unable to hold back her grief, and she burst into tears. Su Qing hugged Ji Jing in her arms, looking at Jiang Fan with angry eyes. At this moment, Jiang Fan was also angrily looking at Su Qing. The next second, he stood up and gave Su Qing's sexy butt a hard slap.
"This little hill is not bad."
This stirred up a hornet's nest. Jiang Fan was pushed onto the desk by Su Qing, with one hand pressing his face, while Jiang Fan's hand pushed against her chin, and their other hands were intertwined.
They started fighting.
"Jiang Fan, if I don't beat you up today, I'll take your surname."
"I won't marry you, and I won't let you into my family tree."
Ji Jing kept calming them down and explaining. After ten minutes, their stalemate ended. Su Qing straightened her skirt, flipped her hair, and spoke without any apology.
"Sorry, I didn't know."
"It's fine, I didn't intend to forgive you anyway."
Seeing that they were both about to fight again, Ji Jing stood between them. Jiang Fan opened the drink and gulped it down, drinking half a bottle in one breath. When Su Qing went to take the other bottle, Jiang Fan quickly opened it and took a sip, looking at Su Qing with a smug expression. However, he underestimated Su Qing, who didn't hesitate to drink from the same bottle.
Jiang Fan asked Su Qing if this counted as indirect kissing, and Su Qing asked if Jiang Fan wanted to avoid this indirectness. Jiang Fan quickly surrendered.
This woman's toughness was not something he could bear.
It was time to change the topic.
"Auntie Ji, how much money do you give your family each month?"
"Around fifteen thousand."
"Five thousand after rent, are you eating dirt?"
"Jiang Fan, if you can speak, then speak. If not, shut up."
"Su Qing, do you want to fight? Let's meet at the boxing gym tomorrow?"
"I'll choose the location."
Jiang Fan and Su Qing started arguing again. Jiang Fan ignored Su Qing and asked Ji Jing about her situation again. It was Su Qing who answered. Ji Jing had an older brother who was thirty-three and still unmarried, living off his parents and doing nothing. Her parents used to work, but after knowing that Ji Jing could earn twenty thousand yuan per month, they both resigned and stayed home, waiting for Ji Jing to support the family.
If they were frugal, it would be acceptable, but her brother was extravagant and got into trouble. He was arrested once, and Ji Jing had to pay eighty thousand yuan in compensation and spend another twenty thousand to get him out. This money was borrowed from Su Qing, and then these three people kept asking for money for various reasons. This year, they were even more direct, and they would call Ji Jing every month when she got her salary.
Jiang Fan scratched his head and frowned.
"Should we break his leg and let him lie in bed? That way, we can save some money. Qing Qing, when does our company pay salaries?"
"Don't call me Qing Qing!"
"Qing Qing, when does our company pay salaries?"
"You... on the thirteenth!"
Su Qing had no way with Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan smirked at Su Qing. This woman was not good in any way, except for one thing: she never used her status to suppress others when they argued. Then Su Qing threatened Jiang Fan, saying that if he called her Qing Qing again, she would deduct ten thousand yuan from his salary, and if he did it again, she would break his leg.
Forget it, I didn't say anything. This woman is not good in any way.
Jiang Fan tilted his head and looked at Ji Jing, puzzled.
"Isn't it still a few days before the salary is paid? Why is it early this time? Did your mother also learn to speed up like a train?"
It was no wonder that Su Qing hit Jiang Fan. His mouth was really nasty. Ji Jing also glared at Jiang Fan and then said helplessly.
"My brother has a girlfriend, and she wants to buy an apartment in the city, not less than one hundred square meters. The houses in the city are more than six thousand yuan per square meter, and they can't take a loan. They want me to sell my car and give them two hundred thousand yuan."
"The car loan hasn't been paid off, and you can't sell it. Didn't you explain it to her? Didn't she listen?"
Ji Jing nodded. Jiang Fan couldn't understand how there could be such parents in the world. Other people's children who work outside are cared for, but this family never cared about her, only asking for money when they called.
What kind of people are they?
At this moment, Jiang Fan saw Ji Jing's phone on the table, and he suddenly thought of something. He tilted his head and asked with a suspicious tone.
"You give her fifteen thousand yuan a month, and you don't save any money? And this phone, don't tell me it's an antique."
"It's my mother's old phone."
"Oh my god."
Jiang Fan covered his forehead again. He withdrew his previous statement. They were not just bad people, they were not people at all. No wonder Ji Jing didn't change clothes frequently like Yang Jin and agreed to take pictures for free clothes at the mall.
It was too difficult for her as a daughter.
"Sigh!"
Jiang Fan sighed.
"Does your family live in a nearby city? I can ask Guan Dagou to go there and break up her relationship first. Then she won't ask for money, right?"
After saying this, he was scolded by Su Qing, who pointed at his nose.
"Are you a pig-headed? If Guan Dagou goes, her mother will know it's Ji Jing's idea, and then what if she comes to the company to make a scene? Your brain is so good, can you think of a normal solution?"
Jiang Fan was also angry. He stood up and shouted.
"Then you think! You asked me for a solution, and then you scolded me? Su Qing, can you have some dignity?"
"General Jiang, I know I was wrong."
"Kneel down and kowtow twice."
Su Qing was about to lose her temper again, so Jiang Fan quickly stopped while he was ahead. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Guan Junbiao? Why was this guy calling at this time? Jiang Fan made a gesture of silence to Su Qing and laughed loudly after answering the phone.
"Brother Guan!"
"Brother Jiang! Hahaha, are you busy, Brother Jiang? Shall we meet somewhere later?"
"Oh? I can't today. I'm working overtime at the company now, and Miss Su is right here with me. I can't leave."
After Jiang Fan finished speaking, Su Qing suddenly spoke up angrily.
"Jiang Fan! I agreed to your suggestion to give Tu Xiao the money first. You must work overtime at the company today. I trust you, but that doesn't mean I trust everyone. If there's any problem with the mall, you have to compensate me even if you sell your kidney."
Su Qing's angry words were heard clearly by Guan Junbiao, and then Tu Xiao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hahaha, Miss Su is indeed Miss Su. Biao, since the uncle of the kid is busy, you should reschedule the meeting."
The phone call ended, and Su Qing looked at Jiang Fan with a gossipy expression and whispered.
"What does Guan Junbiao want from you?"
Jiang Fan frowned and shook his head, saying in a deep voice,
"It shouldn't be something bad. I guess it might be something secretive or inappropriate. I'll go home first. See you on Monday, Aunt Ji, if you need me."
"I need you!"
This time, Ji Jing didn't hesitate at all. Hearing these two firm words, Jiang Fan smiled.
"That's right. Remember to bring me dumplings on Tuesday."
"Wishful thinking."
"Bye, see you on Monday."
After leaving, Jiang Fan stopped smiling. What could Guan Junbiao want from him?
