181: Didn't Take Them Seriously

Didn't Take Them Seriously

Jian Ai was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chen Jin to wake up so early and cook her breakfast.1

She had caused him to lose his job. She should be the one compensating Chen Jin.

Plain porridge, boiled eggs, and some pickled vegetables from the fridge that her mother had made.

Her impression of Chen Jin improved even more. She thought to herself, "He's indeed a breadwinner from a low-income family. Although he had dyed his hair blond and looked like a youth who was not doing proper work, he was unexpectedly meticulous and considerate. His living skills were quite comprehensive too."

"Let's eat together." Jian Ai smiled at Chen Jin with a gentle and natural expression.

After digesting it for a night, Chen Jin wasn't that afraid of Jian Ai anymore. However, now that he was living at Jian Ai's house, he couldn't stay for anything. He had to do something.

Hence, there was this breakfast in front of them.

"Eating light breakfast is still better for your stomach," Chen Jin said seriously. He looked at Jian Ai with his small eyes. "I know how to make ordinary home-cooked dishes. If you can get used to it, I can help you cook in the next few days."

Her mother was in the hospital while her brother was accompanying her. During this time, Jian Ai had to settle all three meals a day. However, she was helpless. She did not know how to cook. At most, she could only cook porridge and noodles.

Hence, during the few days when there was no one at home, she settled her lunch in the cafeteria and ate her breakfast and dinner at the restaurants outside.

Now that Chen Jin had taken the initiative to cook at home, Jian Ai didn't refuse. She raised her eyebrows and nodded. "Alright! As long as you take note of safety."

Although she lived in a flat house, gas cans were used at home.

Halfway through the meal, Jian Ai suddenly stopped eating. Then, she took out five hundred yuan from her pocket and placed it on the table. "You don't have to go back to the dormitory. You can go out for a walk today and buy a few clothes and daily necessities. I have to go to the hospital to see my mother, so I won't be accompanying you."

When Chen Jin saw the five one hundred yuan bills, he immediately shook his head and rejected them. "No need. I have money. I'm already very grateful that you took me in and let me stay here."

"Your money is your money. They're two different things." Jian Ai looked at Chen Jin and said calmly, "Besides, I'm not taking you in. You lost your job because of me. I naturally can't abandon you."

A fourteen-year-old girl was speaking with loyalty.

As she spoke, Jian Ai pushed the money in front of Chen Jin. "Take it. I'll feel better too."

Although Jian Ai's expression was indifferent, her tone was very serious and sincere. Chen Jin looked up at Jian Ai and then down at the money on the table. In the end, he stretched out his hand and took two bills. "This is enough…"

In this day and age, two hundred yuan was indeed enough to buy a set of clothes in the wholesale market. Looking at Chen Jin's struggling expression, Jian Ai didn't make things difficult for him. She nodded and stuffed the remaining three hundred yuan into her pocket.

Then, Jian Ai looked at Chen Jin and slowly said, "As for what happened last night…"

Although she was halfway through her words, Chen Jin heard the meaning in Jian Ai's tone and quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Brother Yu."

As soon as he finished speaking, worry filled Chen Jin's eyes. "But you beat Liu Yong up so badly. His father is very powerful in Zhonglou District. He probably won't leave the matter at that."

"Don't worry about me." Jian Ai continued to eat with an indifferent expression. "Since I dared to attack him at Starlight Bar, I naturally don't take them seriously."
