Chapter 74
Nan Li sobbed and spoke intermittently.
This was the first time she showed herself so weak to others because of her demotion.
Even when facing her partner, Xia Junshan, Nan Li had never confided in this way.
Before, she felt indignant, unwilling, and angry about this matter.
But he has never expressed his grievances so openly as he does now.
Lin Yuan stood in front of her, listening silently.
Nan Li was still immersed in sadness and grievance. She slowly buried her head in Lin Yuan's belly, letting Lin Yuan gently stroke her hair.
It was unknown how long it took for Nan Li to recover from this state.
She seemed to realize that her behavior was inappropriate, and quickly loosened her arms around Lin Yuan's waist and left Lin Yuan's arms.
She could still feel the touch of Lin Yuan's hard abdominal muscles on her cheeks, which made her blush with embarrassment.
This wonderful and strange feeling made her heart surge.
"I... I lost my composure." Nan Li said somewhat embarrassedly. She wiped away the few tears on her face with her hands and forced a smile.
Lin Yuan sighed softly.
"Maybe this is also my fault. I advised Tian Yulan not to argue with you anymore. After all, you are almost the marketing director, and there is no benefit in continuing to argue. I didn't expect that she would go directly to your company to report you."
"How can I blame you for this?" Nan Li shook her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "After all, we are still a family. You will not show any mercy when stabbing me in the back."
Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly and said, "Next time I will help you vent your anger a few more times."
Of course, this cannot be said.
"I remember that last time, Tian Yulan was very active in helping your family. How come it has come to this in the blink of an eye?"
"It was during the implementation of the Home Furnishings Store Plan, and she must have been thinking of asking me to give her mall some discounts."
Nan Li could only think so. In her heart, Tian Yulan had always been a calculating person. She didn't believe that Tian Yulan had good intentions last time. Even if she had good intentions, it was for a purpose.
Lin Yuan turned the topic to Xia Junshan and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, you have been demoted, what about your senior brother? Has he found a new job?"
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Nan Li was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered what Lin Yuan had said to her and her husband.
"Have you ever thought about this? If your sister-in-law doesn't get promoted this time, and you leave your job again..."
She didn't care at the time, but now when she thinks about it, Lin Yuan's vision is so terrifying, as if he can predict the future.
She shook her head helplessly: "I haven't talked much with him these days, but he probably hasn't found it yet."
The two of them live under the same roof every day, but surprisingly they talk less and less. It seems that they are experiencing an emotional crisis.
However, with so many changes happening at home all at once, it would be unrealistic to expect everything to remain harmonious.
Even when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl come, they have to have a few words.
"Then the expenses of your whole family will all depend on you alone?"
Nan Li nodded slightly and sighed imperceptibly.
Now she has to bear the mortgage payments for two houses by herself. Tuition fees, living expenses, and the food and daily life of her family all have to be maintained by her salary alone.
But her monthly salary has dropped from 50,000 to 20,000, which is no longer enough to cover her expenses.
If this continues, she really doesn't know what to do.
Lin Yuan nodded gently: "I'll find some time to persuade Senior Brother. If he really can't make it, he can deliver food or drive an online car-hailing car. It's not a good idea to waste time like this."
When he said this, he subconsciously ignored the fact that he was also unemployed at home. But he couldn't be considered unemployed. He had many jobs, such as stock trading, tutoring students, flirting with girls, playing poker...
Of course, the rest is a bit off topic.
"I won't bother you anymore." Nan Li looked at Lin Yuan gratefully. Lin Yuan's words made her heart feel warmer.
No one knew what Xia Junshan was busy with at home these days. He seemed to be completely blind to the huge financial pressure at home. On the contrary, Lin Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
"I'll go back and talk to him myself, so as not to hurt the feelings of you brothers."
Lin Yuan shook his head and spoke well of Xia Junshan instead. He said seriously, "Senior Brother is not an irresponsible person. I believe that Senior Brother can do it."
Nan Li's mind was not on Xia Junshan at the moment. Her disappointment with Xia Junshan was still piling up. She came here today mainly for Huanhuan.
She stood up and walked in front of Lin Yuan, stretched out her hand, gently grasped Lin Yuan's hand, and said sincerely:
"Zhong Yi, can you help your sister-in-law and let Huanhuan continue to learn from you, okay?"
Lin Yuan pondered, frowning slightly, as if he was still thinking about it.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Nan Li quickly said something nice: "Last time, when my sister-in-law sprained her foot, you carefully applied medicine to me. I know you are not a cruel person."
"Has sister-in-law's foot recovered?" Lin Yuan showed a trace of concern in his eyes.
Nan Li was stunned. It had been almost a month, how could it not be healed yet?
"Sister-in-law, let me help you take a look." Lin Yuan said seriously, his tone full of sincerity.
After all, after a sprained foot, even if symptoms such as pain and swelling disappear, it is very likely that the ligaments and muscles have not fully recovered to normal.
…………
The two of them walked out of the room slowly. Nan Li's face still had a barely noticeable blush. When she arrived in the living room, she was surprised to see Tian Yulan getting dressed.
Her fair skin glowed under the light.
Tian Yulan had been lying outside the door listening for a long time, but the soundproofing of the room was so good that she couldn't hear what was being said inside.
So she gave up the idea of eavesdropping and decided to put on her inner clothes first. Anyway, the air conditioner was on in the living room, so it was warm and comfortable.
She didn't believe it was such a coincidence that while she was changing clothes, Lin Yuan and Nan Li just happened to come out.
But the fact is just such a coincidence.
However, Tian Yulan was not panicked at all. Nan Li was a woman, so it was no big deal if she saw it. Lin Yuan was her man, so it was even less of a big deal if he saw a little bit of her private parts.
Nan Li's eyes swept over Tian Yulan and found that neither Lin Yuan nor Tian Yulan seemed to have any embarrassment in this situation, as if it was a very normal thing.
Is it possible...
Is it really the same as I thought before?
What surprised her even more was that Tian Yulan had a tattoo on her lower abdomen, which made her impression of Tian Yulan even worse.
Who would get a tattoo?
She doesn't have tattoos anyway.
"Tian Yulan, can you please not change your clothes in the living room next time?"
At this time, Lin Yuan's dissatisfied voice sounded in his ears.
Tian Yulan immediately defended herself, "Isn't the air conditioner on in the living room? You won't get cold if you change here. Besides, I don't know why you guys came out all of a sudden."
"Okay, this won't happen again." Lin Yuan gave a symbolic reprimand or two.
As for whether Nan Li would believe it or not, that was her own business.
Nan Li was too lazy to say anything more to Tian Yulan. She simply said goodbye to Lin Yuan and went back home.
