BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - Don’t Worry About His Money
Yan Qingsi’s face was still slightly warm. She asked, “Auntie, is there anything I can help with?”
Mrs. Yue did not hold back. “Go skin those potatoes.”
She treated Yan Qingsi very naturally—she did not hold back—which made Yan Qingsi feel as though she was part of the family.
“Oh no, I forgot. You actresses have to take good care of your hands. You should put on some gloves.”
“There’s no need. Wearing gloves makes skinning potatoes very difficult.”
Mrs. Yue was surprised to see Yan Qingsi skinning the potatoes quickly and efficiently. “You’re unexpectedly proficient at this, aren’t you?”
Yan Qingsi smiled. “Back when I was overseas, I’ve worked in a Chinese restaurant.”
Mrs. Yue blinked, feeling surprised yet again. Yan Qingsi had worked! She thought this type of lady—being overseas—most likely attended classes, went shopping, and only bought clothes. Those rich kids are all like that. The Yan family was by no means poor, and yet she was working.
During dinner, Yan Qingsi thought a bit and said, “Sorry auntie, I...crashed the car. The damages were quite severe. As for the repayment...”
Before she could finish, Mrs. Yue knocked the back of Yue Tingfeng’s hand with her chopsticks. “He has plenty of money. He used to be a troublemaker. He gambled with people and lost two Paganis in an hour. It almost gave me a heart attack. I tell you what, you don’t need to worry about his money.”
Yan Qingsi stared at Mrs. Yue in shock and totally did not expect her to react this way. How could there be such an adorable person in this world?
Yue Tingfeng spat out a bone, thinking to himself that he better keep quiet for now.
“But that car...it’s a lot of money...”
Mrs. Yue casually answered. “If there’s not enough money, let him go make some. He’s a man after all. Why would I keep him around if he’s not making money to support the family? That would be a waste to keep such a son.”
Yue Tingfeng lifted his head. “Ma, next month’s pocket money...”
“Oh...” Mrs. Yue picked up a piece of burdock and passed it to Yue Tingfeng, smiled, and said, “Son, eat more. You’re a little thin lately.”
“...” Yue Tingfeng was speechless.
...
After the meal, Mrs. Yue stopped Yan Qingsi as she was heading out to the set. She went upstairs to get a package and passed it to Qingsi.
“You’re a woman and you don’t even have some proper cosmetics. There are no actresses like you. Go ahead and use these facial masks and dresses for now. I went shopping today and accidentally purchased too many for my use.”
Mrs. Yue’s presented her tsundere side. Even when she was treating someone well, she had to put it in a way to show that it was not done on purpose.
At Mrs. Yue’s age, most of her cosmetics are focused on blemish removal and skin tightening. However, the ones she passed to Yan Qingsi was specifically for young ladies which focused on whitening and moisturizing. They were obviously purchased on purpose. A tsundere that never speaks her heart—exactly like Yue Tingfeng.
Yan Qingsi received the heavy package and at the same time felt heavy in her heart too. After all these years, she had seen various despicable people, but she had never once seen someone who treated her this well.
Yan Qingsi tightened her grip, put up a firm smile, and said, “Auntie, thank you. You...would it be that you like me? Are you thinking of having me as your daughter-in-law?”
Mrs. Yue lifted her chin. “Pfft, dream on. You want to be my daughter-in-law, then...then...you need to make me happy. Alright alright, you two should get going. Just looking at you makes me annoyed. All of you just can’t let me have peace in my heart.”
Yue Tingfeng laughed. “Alright, we’ll be going now. Once we’re gone, don’t miss us.”
Mrs. Yue turned around. “Who would miss you? I’m enjoying myself at home alone.”
