Chapter 489: Calculating

Hearing Aunt Li say this, Xiao Churan hurriedly expressed her position: "Aunt Li, don't worry, Ye Chen and I have a good relationship."

As she spoke, Xiao Churan added with an apologetic face: "Aunt Li, after you went to Jingcheng for treatment, I haven't had time to go to Jingcheng to visit you. If Ye Chen hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had recovered and returned to Jin Ling. I'm really sorry..."

Aunt Li said with emotion: "After I got sick, you two were busy in the hospital. If it weren't for you two helping to raise money, Auntie might have been critically ill and passed away long ago..."

As she spoke, Aunt Li's eyes turned red, and she choked up: "Especially you, Churan, while busy with the Xiao family's affairs, you also had to come over to take care of me. Auntie has always been very grateful and also feels very guilty. It was me who dragged you two down. If I really have to say sorry, it should be Auntie who says it!"

Xiao Churan hurriedly comforted: "Aunt Li, don't forget, I am Ye Chen's wife, and you are Ye Chen's benefactor, which means you are my benefactor too!"

Aunt Li looked at Xiao Churan and was moved.

Seeing Xiao Churan again this time, Aunt Li felt that she was a little different from the past.

In the past, although Xiao Churan and Ye Chen often went to visit her, Xiao Churan was vaguely alienated from Ye Chen, and it was obvious that there was no emotional foundation.

But seeing them again this time, they had been holding hands, and it seemed that the relationship between the two had also made great progress.

In the past, Aunt Li often heard rumors from outside, so she had always been worried about the relationship between the two, fearing that Ye Chen would divorce Xiao Churan one day and be kicked out of the Xiao family.

Seeing that the relationship between the two had improved at this time, she felt settled in her heart.

And the people present heard this conversation and couldn't help but be surprised.

Only then did they know that during Aunt Li's illness, Ye Chen, with his wife, had actually done so much for Aunt Li.

Ye Chen performed very modestly. He took care of Aunt Li carefully, just wanting to repay the other party with all his heart, and never thought about showing off and selling himself in front of people.

However, Jiang Ming on the side was depressed!

Today, the reason why everyone could come to visit Aunt Li together, he was clearly the real initiator and organizer!

Moreover, he had thought that he could be considered a successful person anyway, and just took advantage of this welcome banquet to show off in front of everyone, enjoy the flattery and fawning of this group of people, and by the way, develop with a little tender girl like Li Xiaofen.

Unexpectedly, he was actually robbed of the limelight by Ye Chen, making himself a background board instead!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming looked at Ye Chen with a bit of resentment.

At this time, Aunt Li held Xiao Churan's hand and said with satisfaction: "Churan, you and Ye Chen are not young anymore, you should consider having a child. Among the batch of children who left the welfare institute, Ye Chen is the only one who got married, and the rest are still bachelors. I, as an aunt, can't wait to hold a grandson!"

Xiao Churan suddenly blushed.

She and Ye Chen had been married for more than three years, but no one had ever urged her to have children.

After all, the relatives around her looked down on Ye Chen a bit, and couldn't wait for her to divorce Ye Chen, so how could they let her have children with Ye Chen.

However, suddenly being urged by Aunt Li to have children, besides being shy, she suddenly had some wonderful feelings in her heart.

Xiao Churan was about twenty-six years old, at the best childbearing age, and for a girl of this age, in fact, her maternal nature and maternal love had begun to breed faintly.

Take Xiao Churan for example, occasionally seeing others with children, she would also feel maternal love overflowing, and even start thinking about when she could have her own baby.

However, because there were many things in the family, she had never dared to consider this problem deeply.

So, she said shyly: "Aunt Li, we haven't considered having children yet, because I just started my own business, and the company has just improved a little. It's the busiest time recently."

Li Xiaofen looked at Xiao Churan with more envy in her eyes at this time, and her heart also felt a bit more lost.

She had liked Ye Chen since she was a child, and dreamed of being able to marry Ye Chen and be Ye Chen's bride since she was very young, and she hadn't forgotten this dream until now, but now it seemed that she had no chance.

That's why she envied Xiao Churan even more, because in her view, Xiao Churan found the best man in the world, so she was the happiest woman in the world.

Aunt Li smiled slightly at this time and said: "Career is certainly important, but sometimes family is also important. We women, we can't have children too late, otherwise it will affect our health."

Xiao Churan nodded with a red face.

Li Xiaofen said a bit embarrassedly at this time: "Aunt Li, the owner of the old restaurant called just now and said that the restaurant's wiring had a problem, and it can't be open for business today, so we can only change to another place to eat temporarily."

Aunt Li smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we eat or not. I'm already very happy to see everyone. There are so many people here who haven't seen each other for a long time."

Jiang Ming, who had been ignored in various ways, heard this and his eyes lit up immediately.

He immediately stepped forward and blurted out: "Aunt Li, let me arrange for everyone to eat tonight."

As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone and made a call, then said to everyone: "Everyone, I booked a place at the five-star Hyatt Hotel in our Jin Ling, let's hurry over now."

Hearing that Jiang Ming had actually booked a place at the five-star Hyatt Hotel, everyone was surprised!

Someone said awkwardly: "Hyatt Hotel is a five-star hotel. If we go there to eat, it's too extravagant, right? A meal will cost two or three thousand, right?"

"Yes! If we split the bill, it will cost one or two thousand per person. We can't afford such high consumption with our salary level!"

Hearing this, others couldn't help but show agreement on their faces.

Those who enter and exit five-star hotels are basically people in the upper class. Only they have the confidence to enjoy such places.

And these people present, because they were orphans, generally had low education and no background, so they couldn't talk about career success.

Most of the jobs they found were relatively bottom-level, and many people's monthly salary was not enough to meet the various expenses of daily life, worrying about firewood, rice, oil, and salt all day long.

So, hearing that they were going to a five-star hotel to eat, everyone was a little worried, fearing that their financial resources would be insufficient and they would be stretched.

Jiang Ming smiled slightly at this time, patted his chest generously and said: "Everyone don't worry, I will pay half of this meal, and you all will pay the other half together. I estimate that it will only cost a few hundred yuan per person, how about it?"

Hearing him say this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ming paying half himself, that really reduced the pressure on everyone.

Someone couldn't help but say: "Jiang Ming, letting you pay half alone, how embarrassing!"

Jiang Ming waved his hand indifferently and laughed: "Today is mainly to give Aunt Li a welcome reception, it doesn't matter if I spend more money!"

In fact, everyone didn't know that Jiang Ming happened to have a budget for entertaining clients from the company. He thought that this meal would cost two or three thousand, he would pay half on the surface, and let others pay the other half.

Afterward, he would go to the company to reimburse the invoice, not only getting back the half he spent, but also earning back the half everyone else paid!

For example, a meal costs 30,000, he pays 15,000, everyone pays 15,000, and afterward he goes to the company to reimburse 30,000. Not only did he earn face and favor in front of everyone, but he also earned 15,000 net!

Why not do it?
