Chapter 292 How did you get hurt?
"Comrade, are you alright?" A passerby looked at Jin Lili with concern.
Someone recognized her and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Deputy Director Li's cousin? What happened to you that you fell here?"
Seeing her crying while covering her chin, everyone was afraid something might happen, so they quickly took her to Deputy Director Li's house.
Jin Guilan was startled to see Jin Lili returning crying.
"What happened?"
"She fell down! Oh dear, Sister Jin, your niece is so unsteady on her feet, she just fell down for no reason. You should take a look at her quickly, she's been holding her chin, I hope she doesn't hurt herself."
Jin Guilan was completely baffled. Didn't Jin Lili go home yesterday? Why is she back again?
After seeing off the kind people from the compound, she quickly pulled Jin Lili's hand away and saw that Jin Lili's chin was bleeding. She exclaimed in surprise, "This is terrible... I hope it doesn't leave a scar..."
Upon hearing that she would be left with a scar, Jin Lili cried even harder.
Hearing the noise, Jin Guilan quickly told her to stop crying and asked, "Why are you here again? Didn't you say you went back to your hometown? No, you came yesterday and you're here again today. You definitely didn't go back to your hometown. Where are you staying now?"
Jin Lili didn't answer, but cried and said, "Auntie, please take me to the hospital. I'm only twenty years old, I can't have a scar."
She cried pitifully, and Jin Guilan felt sorry for her, so she had no choice but to take her and her grandson to the hospital.
Thankfully, it was just a scratch. The doctor applied some medicine and told me not to get it wet, not to touch it, and to let it heal properly. He said that as long as I don't pick at the scab when it's scabbing over, it shouldn't leave a scar.
Jin Lili was relieved to hear that there would be no scars, and Jin Guilan was also relieved.
There was no other way; Jin Lili had come from her hometown to stay with her, and if something really happened to her, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her relatives back home.
Leaving the hospital, Jin Guilan said irritably, "Tell me what happened to you? You're a twenty-year-old woman, how could you fall and hurt yourself like this?"
Of course, Jin Lili couldn't say that she wanted to have a physical altercation with Lu Congyue in order to play the victim and strike up a conversation.
I didn't expect Lu Congyue to dodge so quickly; I was caught off guard and fell.
"Auntie, I'm so sorry for causing you trouble. I was just trying to help you, but I don't know how I tripped and fell," Jin Lili said softly.
"Come help me? You haven't even explained yourself to me yet. Where do you live now?" Jin Guilan asked, suppressing her anger. "You haven't been back to your hometown, have you? Where do you live? Who do you rely on? Have you found a boyfriend?"
Jin Guilan was afraid that Jin Lili had gone astray. If she really did something shameful, she would be scolded to death when she returned to her hometown.
"Lili, if you find someone in the city, bring them over so we can take a look and give you our opinion. If it's a good match, then we'll settle down. We Jin family don't tolerate people messing around without a proper relationship," Jin Guilan warned.
"No, I didn't," Jin Lili said hurriedly. "I couldn't buy a ticket back yesterday, so my uncle booked me a room at the guesthouse to rest. I came here to thank him..."
Upon hearing that her husband had actually paid for a room at a guesthouse for Jin Lili, Jin Guilan was furious.
"Your uncle is just wasting money! If he couldn't get a ticket, he should just go home and stay there. It's not like there's no room at home, why waste money like that!"
After complaining, Jin Guilan asked, "Did you manage to buy tickets this time? If you didn't, you can't stay at the guesthouse anymore; you'll have to stay at home."
Jin Lili quickly replied, "Okay."
Jin Guilan looked at her suspiciously: "Are tickets really that hard to buy? Or are you getting restless and don't want to go back?"
"No, no, I've bought the ticket, it's for three days from now," Jin Lili hurriedly lied. "You know, it's hardest to buy tickets before and after the New Year."
That's true. Jin Guilan nodded and said, "Okay, then go home and stay for three days. You can help me out too."
Jin Lili got her wish and went home with Jin Guilan.
She absolutely has to get in touch with Director Lu within these three days!
Lu Congyue didn't tell Zhuang Qingxiang what had happened in the past two days.
What hadn't he seen and done in the capital? The woman Guan Jing found was far more cunning than that girl.
Making him help you up when you fall down in front of him, or using the opportunity to bump into him and strike up a conversation—these are all child's play.
Women who are willing to risk everything jump into the river in front of him, hoping that he will come down to save them so they can cling to him.
She drugged him to climb the social ladder, and then drugged herself, pitifully begging him to be her antidote...
Lu Congyue has seen too much of this and is immune to it.
To prevent any accidents, Lu Congyue simply brought Xiao Luyue to and from get off work every day, thus avoiding any misunderstandings caused by the girl sticking around again when there were only the two of them.
Jin Lili felt helpless after one day of this, and anxious after two days. In the end, she simply asked Li Weixing to arrange a dinner for Lu Congyue, so that he could introduce her to him and maybe Lu Congyue would agree to let her work as a nanny in his house?
Although Li Weixing disagreed, he still did as instructed.
The deputy director invited him, and Lu Congyue, as the director, couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
When it was time to eat, he noticed there was someone else there—the girl who had tried to bump into him.
Lu Congyue immediately guessed that the person was Jin Lili.
Li Weixing enthusiastically introduced her to him: "Director Lu, this is a distant relative of mine, named Jin Lili."
Lu Congyue nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
Lu Congyue didn't eat much of the food or drinks, just in case.
If they drug him, he can control himself if he takes a small amount, but it would be terrible if he takes too much.
As Li Weixing had expected, he quickly got to the point and suggested that Jin Lili work as a nanny at Lu Congyue's house.
Therefore, he praised Jin Lili to the skies, saying how caring she was for the children and how soft-hearted she was...
Lu Congyue listened with a smile, then shook his head: "Let's leave it at that. My wife doesn't like having outsiders in the house, so we don't hire a housekeeper."
Li Weixing hadn't expected Lu Congyue to refuse so decisively after he stepped in. His expression darkened for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile again: "Oh, is that so... It's alright, it's alright! I was just worrying unnecessarily. My husband told me that it must be too tiring for you to take care of the child by yourself..."
As she spoke, Chong Jinlili gave her a wink.
Jin Lili hurriedly offered a toast, but Lu Congyue refused again: "My wife won't let me drink."
The main point is that he doesn't want to do anything because his wife won't let him.
Jin Lili was so angry that she ground her teeth.
Li Weixing knew, however, that the money for this meal had been wasted.
Li Weixing was very angry, so after finishing his meal, he ignored Jin Lili and stormed off.
Lu Congyue turned around and looked at Jin Lili, who was following him at a distance, and scoffed inwardly: She's still not giving up.
I was on guard against Jin Lili's underhanded tricks the whole way, but she was surprisingly well-behaved.
Lu Congyue felt that she was definitely looking for an opportunity, so he walked quickly.
But as soon as they arrived at her doorstep, Jin Lili, who had been behaving herself the whole way, suddenly started to act.
"Director Lu, please let me stay. I'll kneel down for you..." She made a gesture as if to kneel.
Lu Congyue pushed the door open and went in expressionlessly. As for Jin Lili, she could kneel if she wanted.
Jin Lili was surprised that even though she had said she would kneel down, he acted as if he hadn't heard her and just left.
Shouldn't a normal person immediately help her up?
