Chapter 13 Contracts

She readily signed the contract with the factory, promising that they would pay the deposit in two days' time, and then left with Xiang Lianyi.

On the way home.

"Mom, we don't have enough money for the deposit. What should we do?" Xiang Lianyi was just a high school student and she did not have her own savings. She couldn't do anything but worry.

"Don't sweat it too much. I still have some savings, plus the deposit you got from Madam Xi. Even if it's not enough, we will have most of it. If we have to, we can borrow some from your uncles. Once we got the rest of the money from Xi family, we can pay them back." Qin Zhu patted Xiang Lianyi's hand and comforted her.

Xiang Lianyi's uncle's name was Xiang Guoli, and her aunt's name was Li Ping. Both of them were working employees of state-owned enterprises. Although they couldn't be said to be rich and powerful, they were considered to be well-off.

Over the years, they also extended helping hands to Xiang Lianyi's family multiple times, unlike that woman Gu Yujiao.

Mentioning her uncle, Xiangyi Lian recalled her cousin's miserable fate in her last life.

Her cousin had a good family, and when he graduated from university, he would have a stable job. He had a bright future no matter how one looks at it.

Unfortunately, even the best of men can be easily seduced. Her cousin started dating a girl in university, but she was not a good person. Even though she was dating her cousin, she was also involved with several other men.

As a result, her cousin became a laughing stock at school. When he found out about her affairs, he became enraged. He took a knife, broke into her dorm, and murdered her.

Because of that, her cousin went to jail. Her uncle and aunt became much older overnight, and spent the whole day at home in tears. Within a few years, they passed away one after another.

In her last life, Xiang Lianyi felt very sorry. And in this life, she will never let her cousin make the same mistake again.

As soon as her aunt heard that Qin Zhu was short of money for her business, she lent him the money without asking a second question.

Xiang Lianyi felt even more grateful, and vowed to protect her cousin and her kind uncle and aunt.

Qin Zhu quickly hand over all the necessary money, and now she just had to wait for the manufacturer to finish the project.

She finally solved something that had been causing her anxiety. That evening, Qin Zhu cooked a table full of good food and invited Xiang Guoli and his wife over for dinner.

"Qin Zhu, is this business of yours really with the Xi family?"

Xiang Guoli asked, already tipsy.

"Yeah, big brother. We count ourselves lucky. I didn't expect this thing to come to fruition." Qin Zhu said with a smile.

"Good, good, this is a good thing! Come on, Guoping, drink with me." Xiang Guoli said happily. The two brothers had only each other because their parents had already passed away. He watched his brother's eyes grow worse over time because of his job and felt very bad.

Now that his brother's family was getting better and better, he was undoubtedly happy for them in his heart.

The two families happily ate a meal together. Xiang Lianyi's cousin, Xiang Qingyun, did not show up because he was busy at school.

Xiang Lianyi mysteriously said to Li Ping, "Auntie, I heard that cousin has a girlfriend at school."

Li Ping appeared very surprised, "Really? Oh, Lianyi, who did you hear that from?"

"I saw, once in front of cousin's school, he was very intimate with a girl. Auntie, I think at cousin's age, he should still focus on his studies."

Xiang Lianyi said silently in her heart, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I can only send my aunt to stop you first!" She said a silent prayer in her heart for Xiang Qingyun.

She successfully saw Li Ping frown. "I know. So that's why is he always out lately. Thank you for telling me, Lianyi."

Uncle Xiang was pretty drunk from all the alcohol. Li Ping was busy helping him get home. If he drinks any more, she wouldn't be able to get him home.

After they had all left, Qin Zhu frowned and asked Xiang Lianyi, "Lianyi, why did you just say this to your aunt? At your cousin's age, it's normal to have a girlfriend. But you're telling your aunt otherwise. What if your cousin gets mad at you?"

"Mom, I saw that girl being very close with other boys too."

"Really? Then why didn't you just tell your aunt that? Girl, why are you hiding such things?" Qin Zhu said disapprovingly.

"Mom, if I had just said that, things would get very awkward for auntie. She's already thinking about how to stop him. I can always tell her if she couldn't get him to leave her."

Qin Zhu nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile, "You little devil!"



Xiang Lianyi had resolved the important matters on her mind, and it was nearing the day school starts back up.

She ran to the door of her best friend, Li Tiantian's house and shouted, "Li Tiantian!"

"Coming, coming, who is it?"

A youthful girl came out of the house. She had a fair, round face that makes everyone who looks at her think she was very cute. She exclaimed happily, "Lianyi!"
