Chapter 587: The Modern Gold Digger 6
When Jiang Yao saw the reaction of Jiang’s parents, the dull pain in her heart felt much relieved.
Jiang Yao calmed down the self-blame and sadness of Jiang's father and mother. Jiang's mother took Jiang Yao's hand and said:
"Yaoyao, your dad can be discharged from the hospital today, so he doesn't have to work in that kind of place anymore, you know?"
Jiang Yao shook her head: "I'm afraid not. I signed a contract with someone."
This is indeed the case, because after the original owner spent a night with Su Mo, she took a large sum of money and never contacted Tang Li.
When the original owner went to Tang Li again because he was short of money, Tang Li was cautious and asked the original owner to sign the contract.
The contract required the original owner to work for at least three months, otherwise he would have to pay compensation to Tang Li.
The contract is indeed legally binding, and Jiang Yao naturally cannot disobey it.
Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Yao worriedly: "This..."
"Mom, it's okay. I will definitely protect myself." Jiang Yao comforted her, "And this is also a good business opportunity for me."
Jiang Yao did have this idea. Although she was just a drinking companion, she could use her professional knowledge to give advice to the bosses, and in this way, she could quickly raise initial funds.
Father Jiang’s reaction was the biggest: “No, no matter how much compensation you want, Dad will pay it for you.”
If that was a sum of money that the Jiang family could easily take out, Jiang Yao would have taken it out long ago.
After she told Jiang's father the conservative amount, the expression on Jiang's face became visibly solemn.
After a while, he made a decision: "We still have to cancel this contract. How can you, a pure and innocent girl, do such a thing? How can you get married in the future?"
Jiang Yao frowned. Although she didn't dislike marriage, she didn't like the idea of pinning her future on marriage.
But she also knew that it was best not to argue about this kind of thing, otherwise it would only make the situation worse.
Just as they were silent, a fourth person came into the ward.
"Sister!" Jiang Yao was still sitting when someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
When Jiang Yao looked back, she met a pair of lively eyes looking at her with joy.
This is the second child of the Jiang family, Jiang Lian.
He had admired the original owner since he was a child. After all, the original owner was half a mother to him. His parents worked long hours and came back late.
It can be said that before Jiang Yao went to college, Jiang Lian was raised by Jiang Yao.
So he has always been very dependent on Jiang Yao. As far as he can remember, whenever someone slandered Jiang Yao, he was always the first to stand up and refute.
But in the end, it was the boy in front of him who was driven into depression by school violence.
Jiang Yao sighed inwardly and raised her hand to rub Jiang Lian's head: "You are already in high school, and you are still acting like a spoiled child. You have no shame."
Jiang Lian chuckled, "Because I haven't seen my sister for a long time."
Jiang Lian's appearance broke the silence of the family, and Jiang's parents deliberately did not mention this topic in front of Jiang Lian, so the matter was over.
Then Jiang's mother took Jiang's father back home, and she and Jiang Lian went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner.
"Sister, I learned how to cook when you were not at home. I'll let you taste my cooking when I go back." Although Jiang Lian is only in the first year of high school, he is already taller than Jiang Yao. He looks very young, with a tall and thin figure.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yao, speaking as if he was seeking credit.
Jiang Yao laughed and said, "Okay, then you have to show me your skills."
The two siblings selected the ingredients in harmony, and soon they were on their way home with two large bags of ingredients.
Jiang Lian carried two large bags and asked, "Sister, how many days will you stay at home this time?"
"I will go back to school whenever you go to school."
This time Jiang Yao came back on Friday and did not ask for leave from her counselor, so if she had classes on Monday, she would have to fly back early to attend.
Jiang Lian perked up when he heard that: "Does that mean you'll be there all weekend?"
Jiang Yao looked at him with amusement: "Well, why, where are you taking me to play?"
Jiang Lian smiled and said in an excited tone: "Well, there is a new shopping mall opened in our city center. I made some money from my part-time job recently, so I can treat you to a meal."
"Keep your money safe, and leave the making money to your sister." Jiang Yao patted Jiang Lian on the back.
"That's different." Jiang Lian curled his lips, "I don't care, anyway, you will go out with me to eat delicious food tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood there motionless, obviously waiting for Jiang Yao's consent before leaving.
Jiang Yao was amused by Jiang Lian's childish behavior and said, "Okay, okay, you treat me tomorrow and I'll give you a meal."
Jiang Lian said happily, "Wouldn't it be better if my sister had agreed earlier?"
After the two returned home, Jiang Lian went straight into the kitchen, while Jiang Yao sat in the living room and continued the previous topic with Jiang's parents.
"Dad, even if I have to pay the penalty, I have to pay it myself." Jiang Yao said in a serious tone, "It took a lot of effort for our family to get better. Don't give away the family money again for such a small matter."
Jiang's mother sighed and looked at Jiang Yao worriedly: "That's not what I meant, Yaoyao. Your dad is also worried that someone will stab you in the back."
Father Jiang nodded seriously: "Look, if the neighbors knew about this, they might make up stories about you. It doesn't matter among our family. As long as you are safe, everything will be fine."
Jiang Yao smiled: "As long as our family has no objection, I don't care what they say, and this is also a decision made in a hurry. After all, you are the most important in my heart."
In short, Jiang Yao used both emotional and logical appeals to finally dispel Jiang's father's idea of forcing Jiang Yao to breach the contract.
The family had a happy dinner together, and the next day, Jiang Yao was pulled out of the house by Jiang Lian.
Since they were at home, Jiang Yao didn't dress up deliberately. She went out with Jiang Lian without any makeup on.
Both siblings are very good-looking. When they walk on the street, they almost always get people turning their heads to look at them.
Many people looked at Jiang Yao and Jiang Lian and thought they were a couple.
Even Su Mo, who accidentally saw this scene, thought so.
Su Mo came to H City to discuss business, and his business partner chose the most prosperous shopping mall in the city center.
The place they agreed to eat at happened to be the same restaurant that Jiang Lian had chosen.
Jiang Lian and Jiang Yao sat down in the hall. When the waiter brought the menu, Jiang Yao looked at the prices on the menu with some surprise.
She frowned and said, "Xiao Lian, the prices in this restaurant are too expensive."
An ordinary home-cooked dish costs hundreds of dollars, not to mention the recipes that follow.
Jiang Lian had originally thought of treating Jiang Yao to an expensive meal, but when he saw the price, he became hesitant.
But seeing Jiang Yao like this, he still said masculinely: "It's okay, sister, I make enough money, just relax."
