Chapter 30: Is this the job you were talking about?
Knowing that she probably couldn’t afford to offend the man in front of her, the greasy man could only retreat. After all, that person had already been stabbed once, so he wasn’t at a loss!
Looking at the cut on her forearm, Ji Chengyun frowned but didn’t take it to heart.
Then, regardless of Ji Yunqi’s reaction, she directly dragged her outside.
“Hey, I haven’t gotten off work yet, my salary will be deducted.” Ji Yunqi held Ji Chengyun’s wrist with her other hand, trying to pull her son back, but with her current strength, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be.”
Ji Yunqi knew her son very well. Her son’s emotions were clearly not right now. He seemed… angry!
Given this, Ji Yunqi didn’t dare to say anything more. Her son’s angry appearance was quite terrifying, even though he had always been a sunny big boy.
But when he occasionally threw a tantrum, it gave her and her wife a lot of headaches, let alone now. Ji Yunqi didn’t dare to defy her son at all.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if Ji Chengyun was the father and she was the son… no, it should be daughter now!
And now, she had a feeling like her daughter had turned into a ghost and was being brought home by her old father.
“It’s probably an illusion… I’m the parent, okay?”
After being forcefully stuffed into the car, Ji Yunqi realized that her school bag was already lying there… It seemed that Ji Chengyun had been here for a while.
She guessed that he was waiting for her to get off work, but the result was that he had been harassed. That’s why he had acted.
…
At the entrance of the bar, Ye Mingkong nodded as he watched the backs of the two of them leaving.
It seemed that the relationship between these two was quite good~~
Even Ye Mingkong himself hadn’t noticed that the corners of his mouth were almost reaching the sky.
…
“This is the job you were talking about?” Ji Chengyun asked indifferently while driving.
For some reason, Ji Yunqi felt that Ji Chengyun’s words were quite oppressive, making her afraid to speak. But thinking of her dignity as an old father, she straightened her chest and answered affirmatively.
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“What problem? There are huge problems!”
“What would have happened to you if I hadn’t come just now? Answer me!”
Ji Yunqi was startled by Ji Chengyun’s shout, and she seemed… unable to refute. Judging by the situation just now, she seemed to…
Except for Ji Chengyun, she felt that no one would save her. And she guessed that even if she didn’t drink, she would be forcibly fed. At that time, her fate would not be in her own hands.
Thinking of this possibility, she felt a little scared, but she really didn’t want to lose this job. Otherwise, she would have to spend a lot of time looking for another one.
And she might not even find one.
“I can’t help it. That was the most suitable job I could find.”
“This…” Ji Chengyun also fell silent. He forgot that not everyone was like him and had a good upbringing. The girl sitting beside him had no family, only herself.
It was already difficult to find a job and survive.
“Sorry…”
“It’s okay. By the way, will I be fired for leaving like this?”
Ji Chengyun shook his head: “No, I know the person in charge of this bar. I’ll just say a word, and he’ll take care of you more in the future.”
“Then… thank you.” Ji Yunqi thought for a long time before thanking her son. After all, her current identity made it inconvenient to accept her son’s kindness with peace of mind.
…
This time, they went straight home. Ji Chengyun didn’t stop anywhere in between.
In his opinion, it was late at night, so they should go straight home. What were they still messing around outside for?
But Ji Yunqi had a different opinion. Going home directly like this, what would she eat? She hadn’t eaten yet, and she had planned to work overtime today.
But today, not only couldn’t she work overtime, but she couldn’t even see instant noodles.
Touching her flat stomach, she felt so hungry and wanted to eat something.
…
It was already very late when they returned home, almost midnight. Ji Chengyun went back to his room without saying a word. Ji Yunqi didn’t know what he was thinking.
However, she was still very touched that her son came to pick her up so late.
But her stomach was still so hungry~
She had to get something to eat. Thinking of this, Ji Yunqi, wearing her nightgown and without shoes, ran to the freezer to rummage for things.
However, besides some cured meat and sausages, there were only those two cans, and nothing else.
Looking at the two cans in the freezer, Ji Yunqi’s curiosity was instantly piqued. She looked back and confirmed that Ji Chengyun hadn’t come out, so she mustered up the courage and took out the one can that she had opened.
The can was still covered in frost, and the text on it was unclear. However, after opening it this time, Ji Yunqi took a closer look, and it did look like ashes.
Her mind recalled that she had actually wanted to use the ashes for breakfast, and she found it funny.
What was this, was it an insult to the deceased?
If these were her ashes, it shouldn’t count, right? What, am I eating myself?
…
In the end…
Ji Yunqi still didn’t eat anything because she realized that there was probably nothing to eat at home, and the convenience store in the residential area had already closed at this hour.
Even if she went, she wouldn’t be able to buy anything. Anyway, it was just for one night. She would get up early tomorrow morning and go out to buy some breakfast.
She would also buy some for her son. She would just go hungry tonight~
The night passed without incident…
Ji Yunqi thought so, and naturally did so.
However, she was a little late. Seeing that it was almost eight o’clock and Ji Chengyun hadn’t woken up yet, Ji Yunqi didn’t plan to wake him up.
Although she hadn’t seen her son oversleep for many years, she guessed that he should be on vacation today, and it was normal for him to want to sleep in.
After keeping the breakfast warm in the pot as usual, Ji Yunqi left with her schoolbag after leaving a message for Ji Chengyun on her phone.
She was actually looking forward to her work tonight. After all, didn’t Ji Chengyun say that the manager would take care of her when she went to work?
This way, no more troublesome people would come to harass her, right?
…
However, as soon as she stepped out, Ji Yunqi remembered that she had no classes this morning…
Then why did she go out so early?!!
But since she was already out, Ji Yunqi didn’t intend to come back empty-handed. She was going to buy groceries first!
Pity that she had just earned a little money and had to spend it. Although buying groceries wouldn’t cost much, it was still an expense.
But if she didn’t buy groceries, it wouldn’t work. Ji Chengyun would probably only go grocery shopping after he realized that the family was truly depleted of supplies.
This task still had to be done by Ji Yunqi herself. She was also thinking of making a good meal for her son at noon. No one should go hungry, but her child couldn’t.
…
[They will probably recognize each other tomorrow… probably~]
