651 As Long as Iâm Useless Enough, No One Will Want to Use Me
âAre you sure?â He Yuanyuan threatened.
âYes, yes, Iâm sure.â
He Yuanyuan, ââ¦â
The scene was very awkward.
!!
Am I not beautiful?
âIâm not criticizing you,â Lin Yi said, âDongdong is a little young, but heâs not blind. Why do you have to embarrass yourself?â
âHow am I embarrassing myself? The number of people chasing me can form a line that goes around the block! Itâs just that I donât like any one of them.â
âYouâre just jealous because I donât like you.â
âThatâs not true.â He Yuanyuan said, âYouâre just a kid who donât know anything. Kids are always poor and unreasonable. Youâre not my cup of tea.â
âThen go look for an old man. An old man is mature and stable. He can even offer you a low salary every month. Heâs perfect for you.â
âSenior Sister, look at him. Heâs always talking smack about me!â
Ji Qingyan looked at the two of them speechlessly. âThe two of you should behave more normally. Lingyun Group is such a big business. If it falls into your hands when you behave like this, itâll be doomed.â
âThen Iâll listen to you and give her some face.â
âThe two of you donât have to talk about each other anymore. Itâs pointless.â
He Yuanyuanâs expression was bitter. âSenior Sister, youâve changed.â
Walking out of the cemetery, Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. âLetâs go out for a walk in the afternoon. Iâll buy something for Dongdong and then go to Yangcheng. How about that?â
âIâm fine with anything. Please arrange it.â
âSister, youâve already bought me a lot of clothes. I donât want anymore. Can we leave now?â
âYou want to leave now? Donât be in such a hurry. Stay with me for another day.â
âBut I still want to go. If I stay here, Iâll think of Grandma.â
Ji Qingyan glanced at Lin Yi, who nodded. âLetâs go now. He can get used to the new environment sooner.â
âIn that case, Iâll book a flight now.â
âBoss, are you leaving now?â He Yuanyuan asked.
âYes, whatâs the matter?â
âWeâve drawn up a list of enterprises to invest in. One of them is in Yangcheng. Do you want to take a look?â
Lin Yi was silent for a moment. âLetâs see how it goes. If thereâs enough time, weâll go over and take a look.â
âAlright, Iâll inform them first.â
âYou guys can make the arrangements, but Iâm not sure if Iâll end up going or not.â
In the past, Lin Yi would ignore their investments and let them do whatever they wanted.
However, now, the business that he wanted to invest in was all related to the lithography machine. Therefore, he really had to pay attention.
Even so, he was not always available.
After giving some simple instructions, He Yuanyuan drove back to the company.
Ji Qingyan began to check for tickets, but there were no more flights available.
Lin Yi gave Qin Han a call and borrowed his private jet. He made some simple preparations and flew straight to Yangcheng.
At three in the afternoon, when the three of them arrived at the orphanage, they saw the children playing on the playground.
If it werenât for a sign at the door, anyone who saw them would have thought it was a school and not an orphanage.
âBrother Yi!â
Seeing Lin Yi come over, all the children in the courtyard ran over and surrounded him.
âHello, Sister-in-Law.â
âHuh?â
Ji Qingyan was stunned by the term sister-in-law.
It turned out that they all called her sister-in-law. Why were they suddenly calling her this now?
She bent down and squatted in front of a chubby girl, gently pinching her cheeks.
âWhy arenât you calling me sister anymore?â
âMy mom said that from now on, we have to call you sister-in-law whenever we see you. We canât call you sister anymore.â
âUmâ¦â
This made the thin-skinned Ji Qingyan feel embarrassed.
âDo you not like us calling you that? In that case, Iâll call you sister.â
âNo, no.â Ji Qingyan pinched the chubby girlâs cheeks. âI like it.â
Before coming, Lin Yi had told Wang Cuiping about the situation. The latter was thus aware that the two of them would be dropping by.
Hence, she had reminded the children in the courtyard to address her as sister-in-law.
This further solidified her identity.
Although she was a little embarrassed, Ji Qingyan was still happy.
Suddenly, it felt like their relationship was out in the open.
How nice.
Not long after they arrived at the courtyard, Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu walked out of the building.
âThis is Dongdong, right?â
Lin Yi nodded and smiled. âGreet them as Mom and Dad.â
Wang Dongdong nervously retreated and hid behind Ji Qingyan. He only dared to look at Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu from the corner of his eye.
âDonât be anxious. The child has just arrived. Heâs shy and will take some time to adapt.â
Wang Cuiping was very experienced in dealing with such matters.
After such a huge incident, the child had to undergo a period of familiarization.
It was normal for him to act this way.
âLetâs go. Donât stand here. Letâs go in first. The food is ready, so letâs eat,â Wang Cuiping said.
âWait a few more minutes. Ningyue will be here soon,â Zhao Quanfu said.
âIs Ning Yue coming too?â
âDoesnât she always do this? Every time you come back, she will come back and visit,â Zhao Quanfu said with a smile.
âBrother, Sister-in-Law.â
At this moment, Guo Ningyueâs voice came from behind. She jogged over and held Ji Qingyanâs arm with a smile.
âSister-in-Law, youâre getting more and more beautiful. Iâm so envious.â
âYouâre just like your brother. You only know how to flatter people.â
âNo, hehe, Iâm really envious. Not only are you good-looking, but your figure is also good. Iâm drooling.â
âYou look even more like your brother now.â
Lin Yi, ââ¦â
Was why he getting targetted?
âLetâs go. Everyoneâs here. Letâs go in and eat.â Zhao Quanfu called out, âYour mother has made delicious food for you. The dishes will get cold soon.â
âLetâs go.â
When they reached the third floor, they saw more than ten dishes on the table. There were prawns, crabs, pork ribs, and beef. These were all special dishes in the eyes of ordinary people.
âYueyue, what are you busy with nowadays?â Ji Qingyan asked casually.
âHehe, Iâm a streamer.â
âStreamer?â
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were a little surprised.
Did she want to be in the same business as her brother?
âThatâs quite interesting. After work tonight, Iâll go and broadcast it for a while. Itâs only been half a month, but Iâve already earned more than 2,000 yuan. If I work hard, I might earn more than my main job.â
âBut thatâs not a long-term solution.â
âWhy donât you join me or your brotherâs company? We wonât treat you badly.â
Guo Ningyue chuckled. âI know that you and my brother wonât treat me badly, but if the company finds out that the sister of the dignified President Lin still has to work in the company to earn money to support herself, wonât it embarrass my brother?â
âYouâre already a big girl, why donât you have any shame?â Wang Cuiping scolded jokingly.
âYour brother and sister-in-lawâs money doesnât come from thin air.â
âIsnât the orphanage now supported by my brother? Iâm also a member of the orphanage. Isnât it natural for my brother to support me?â
âDonât say such embarrassing words. Your brother was really unlucky in his previous life to have a sister like you.â
âMom, I think youâre absolutely right.â
âDaughter, I have to say something about you. Although your brother is rich, you have to work hard too. Otherwise, wonât you become a piece of trash?â
âIsnât it good to be a beautiful piece of trash?â Guo Ningyue said shamelessly.
âWhen I was young, you guys always reminded me to learn to be smarter so that I wouldnât be used by others once I grew up. Iâve also figured it out now. As long as Iâm useless enough, no one will want to use me.â
With that, Guo Ningyue looked at Lin Yi. âBrother, I hope you can give me a chance to be this piece of trash.â
âIâll put the soles of my shoes on your face.â
âMom, look at my brother. Heâs going to hit me.â
âYou canât blame your brother for this,â Wang Cuiping said.
âThe two of you are only one year apart, but look at your brother. He has already brought back my daughter-in-law. When are you going to bring back a son-in-law for me?â
âI have a boyfriend. Iâll bring him back for you to meet.â
âWhen did you get a boyfriend? Why didnât I know about this?â
Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu were shocked.
Compared to Lin Yi, the two of them were more concerned about Guo Ningyue.
After all, she was a girl. If she met a bad person, she would be at a disadvantage.
âI met him at work. His family is quite well-off.â
âLittle Yue, have you told them about our situation?â Wang Cuiping asked.
âYou have to understand one thing. Although the orphanage is rich, itâs all your brotherâs money. You have to explain our situation to them.â
âYour mother is right,â Zhao Quanfu added.
âDonât go looking for rich and handsome people. These people are unreliable. You have to marry someone whoâs dutiful and treats you well.â
âUncle is right.â Ji Qingyan nodded firmly.
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â Wang Cuiping complained.
âMy son is good-looking and rich. He treats my daughter-in-law quite well.â
âLil Yi is an exception. We have to look at the overall situation.â
âYouâre right.â
âDonât worry. Iâve told the other party about my situation. Iâll protect myself. In any case, donât worry. Iâll bring him back for you to meet and inspect.â
âLet your brother and sister-in-law handle this matter. Theyâre knowledgeable and have better perception than me.â
âOkay.â
The family ate happily until night time.
However, when they left, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan left Wang Dongdong behind.
From now on, he would be living here. Although they couldnât bear to part with him, and he wasnât used to it, they still had to accept reality.
There were some things that humans could not do.
âBrother, it was not easy for you and my sister-in-law to find time to come here. Stay here and hang out for a few more days,â Guo Ningyue said after they left the orphanage.
âI donât mind, but your sister-in-law has a lot of things to do. You have to ask her if she can stick around.â
Guo Ningyue held Ji Qingyanâs arm.
âSister-in-law, I know youâre busy with work. Stay here for another day. Letâs hang out tomorrow, then have dinner with my boyfriend at night. Help me check him out. If you and my brother think itâs okay, Iâll continue dating him. If not, weâll break up.â
Ji Qingyan looked troubled. âItâs fine for us to stay for another day, but your brother and I canât make decisions for you when it comes to relationships. You have to make the decision yourself. We can only give you advice.â
âItâs okay, Iâll listen to you two,â Guo Ningyue said. âLast time, I brought my boyfriend back. If my brother wasnât here, I wouldnât have known that his character was so bad.â
âAlright, Iâll help you check him tomorrow,â Lin Yi agreed.
âHehe, itâs settled then. Iâll look for you tomorrow morning.â
âTomorrow is Monday, right? Arenât you going to work?â Lin Yi said.
âSince youâre so rich, why would I still work? Wouldnât that be slapping your face?â
With that, Guo Ningyue took a taxi and left with a smile. Lin Yi was speechless.
âSigh, why do I have such a shameless sister?â
âYouâre her brother. Shouldnât you reflect on yourself?â
