Chapter 1743: Chapter 1744: Miss Rong, How Can I Take Your Money
She took out her wallet, pulled out three hundred yuan, and handed it over, “Use this money to buy it.”
The butler was shocked, pushing her hands away, “I can’t accept this, Miss Rong, how could I take your money.”
“For softer fruits, right? I understand, are bananas okay?”
“Okay.”
Rong Yan still stuffed the money into his hand, “I came in a hurry and didn’t bring anything with me. At least let me buy some fruit for Mrs. Jiang.”
“Miss Rong, I really can’t take your money, or if Madam wakes up, she’ll scold me.” The butler refused to accept it no matter what.
After some back and forth, Qin Jun spoke up, “Rong Yan is giving it to you, just take it.”
Seeing Qin Jun had spoken, the butler finally accepted the money from Rong Yan, still saying awkwardly, “Actually, Miss Rong, you don’t need to buy anything. Madam is just happy to see you.”
“But I want to show my sincerity.” Rong Yan’s expression was earnest and sincere under her arched eyebrows, with no sign of pretense.
The Chu Family’s butler had been with Jiang Chenyue for decades and had seen all kinds of people. He could see through whether a person was genuine or fake at a glance. Even at the same age, the eldest lady and Miss Rong couldn’t be compared!
The wrinkles on his face softened, and he no longer hesitated with Rong Yan, accepting the money, “Understood, then I’ll head out first. I’ll buy some bananas and grapes back.”
“Alright.”
After he left, the ward became even quieter. Maybe it was this quiet atmosphere that made some people uneasy, awkwardly making a sound, “Maybe I should also go buy some fruit.”
She didn’t speak, and Rong Yan hadn’t even noticed she had followed them into the ward.
Hearing her awkward question now, Rong Yan ignored it, acting as if she hadn’t heard, and sat back in her chair, pretending nothing had happened.
Chu Xi suddenly clenched her teeth, looking at her with eyes full of poison, like a viper, “Even Miss Rong bought fruit, it seems wrong if I don’t buy something for Mom.”
Her words were double-edged, seemingly talking about Rong Yan buying fruit, but also insinuating that Rong Yan was hypocritical, an outsider who was buying fruit and showing sincerity, acting more diligently than the family members themselves.
Qin Jun shot her a mocking look and spoke coldly, “If you want to buy, then buy. Is the door invisible, or did you not bring any money? Or do you need me to issue you an award before you can buy some fruit?”
Chu Xi was publicly humiliated by him, both embarrassed and angry, retorting, “I didn’t mean it like that.”
“Mom isn’t even awake, and you’re arguing with me in the hospital. Are you sure you want Mom to wake up to see us fighting?”
Her intention was to use Jiang Chenyue to threaten Qin Jun, hoping he would restrain his behavior and stop targeting her.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jun’s lips curled up in that wicked way, those upward-slanting eyes of his dark and unreadable, letting out a cold chuckle, “You’ve reminded me.”
“How could I forget to get rid of an eyesore like you? Aunt will be happy to see Rong Yan when she wakes up, but seeing you beside her, how bothersome would that be.”
“What do you mean?” Chu Xi lifted her eyelids, shooting another resentful and dissatisfied look toward Rong Yan, “Even though I’m just Mom’s foster daughter, at least I’m the daughter she acknowledged. She’s just an outsider! Is it necessary for you to humiliate me again and again for an outsider! No matter what, Mom can’t possibly regard an outsider as more important than me, don’t get your priorities wrong.”
