Chapter 326: Stay at My Place
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yin Jinhui struggled with all her might, but the man just held on to her tightly and did not let go. He was speaking in a dialect that Sang Qianqian could not understand.
Sang Qianqian was shocked. Afraid that something had happened to Yin Jinhui, she ran over. “Jinhui, who is this?”
Yin Jinhui’s expression was unnatural. “I don’t know him.”
“Jinhui, this is where you’re wrong. How can you say you don’t know me?”
The man let go of Yin Jinhui and gave Sang Qianqian a fawning smile. “Beautiful lady, you are Jinhui’s colleague, right? I’m Jinhui’s brother, I came to the capital to see her.”
Sang Qianqian was a little suspicious. “Jinhui, is he really your brother?”
She had never heard Yin Jinhui mention that she had an older brother. Even when her mother was seriously ill, it seemed that Yin Jinhui was the only one taking care of her.
Yin Jinhui did not answer. She bit her lip and pulled Sang Qianqian. “Qianqian, let’s go.”
“Hey, Jinhui, how can you be like this?”
The man caught up with them and chattered behind them. “I came all the way to Beijing and finally found you. It’s fine if you won’t let me into your house, but now that I’ve found your workplace, you should at least treat me to a meal, right? I don’t have a single cent on me, and I haven’t eaten for three days. I’ve been sleeping on the bench by the roadside for the past few nights, and I nearly froze to death…”
As if to verify his words, the man suddenly sneezed loudly and blew his nose.
Sang Qianqian could not bear to hear this and tugged at Yin Jinhui. “Jinhui, why don’t you bring him to the canteen for a meal? I think he really has a cold…”
The man quickly chimed in. “That’s right, that’s right. Look at your colleagues. They’re more concerned about me than you are. I’m your brother, after all.”
Yin Jinhui stopped in her tracks and took out her wallet from her pocket. She took out a thousand Yuan and glared at him. “This is all I can give you. Yin Jiakui, stop pestering me, or I’ll call the police right now!”
Her voice was rarely so stern, but Yin Jiakui only smiled cheekily and didn’t take it seriously. “This money is too little. I’ll run out the moment I book a hotel room…”
Yin Jinhui threw the money over. “Take it or leave it!”
“Yes, of course I want it.”
Yin Jiakui fumbled to take the money, then turned around and ran off after saying, “I’ll come and find you again.”
Yin Jinhui seemed to be overwhelmed and sat down on the long bench next to her. Her eyes were red and tears fell silently.
Sang Qianqian sat down quietly beside her and handed her a tissue without asking anything.
“Qianqian, are you surprised that I have a brother?”
Yin Jinhui wiped her tears. Her voice was nasally as she said with a bit of self-mockery, “Unfortunately, he’s not like your brother, who knows how to dote on his sister. Every time my brother sees me, he only knows how to ask me for money.”
For a moment, Sang Qianqian did not know what to say. She gently patted her hand and consoled, “Don’t be too sad.”
She wanted to make Jinhui happy, so she told her about the studio. “Director Miao said he would talk to you later.”
Yin Jinhui was dejected. “Qianqian, I might not be able to go. I’m planning to resign.”
Sang Qianqian was stunned. “Why?”
Yin Jinhui smiled bitterly. “Actually, I didn’t tell you before. There was another reason why I applied to transfer from the general hospital in Yuecheng to the branch in the capital. It was because of my brother.”
“Initially, our family’s financial situation wasn’t too bad, but my brother got addicted to gambling straws and lost the house because of gambling. My sister-in-law divorced him and my father was so angry that he was hospitalized. Before my dad passed away, he left the only house in the family to me. At that time, my brother set his eyes on the house again. He tricked my mom into moraling the house to the bank, causing my mom and I to be homeless. At that time, I was still in high school. My mother had several part-time jobs every day. That was when she fell sick.”
Thinking of her mother, Yin Jinhui sobbed. “It was only after I started working that my mother and I got a little better. We moved many times just to avoid my brother. I was too soft-hearted, so when my mother passed away from a serious illness, I informed him to come and see my mother for the last time. I didn’t expect that after he found out that I was working in the hospital, he would come to look for me every day. I thought about resigning at that time, but then I remembered that you were in Beijing, so I thought of transferring to Beijing instead. I don’t know how my brother found out that I’m working here. Now that he’s found me, I’m sure he’ll continue to pester me.”
“But you can’t avoid it like this.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t like the thought of her resignation. “It’s not worth it to give up your career just to avoid your brother.”
“You don’t know what kind of person my brother is. When he’s shameless, he’s not even human.”
Yin Jinhui’s mood was very low. “In the past, my mother and I worked part-time jobs, and many of them were ruined by him. If we didn’t pay him, he would go back on his word and do anything. You don’t know, but last night, he was downstairs at my place, shouting my name with all his might, saying that he was going to starve to death or freeze to death. At some point, even the police were alerted.”
She took a deep breath and held back her tears. “I could just ignore him completely, but I still want my face.”
She didn’t want others to laugh at her, and she didn’t want to bring unnecessary trouble to the hospital. Resigning and leaving the capital so that Yin Jiakui wouldn’t be able to find her was her only choice.
Sang Qianqian was also speechless. They were both brothers, but her brother and Yin Jinhui’s brother were worlds apart.
“Don’t resign so rashly.”
Sang Qianqian advised, “I’ll talk to the hospital’s Security Department later. They’ll stop your brother from entering the hospital if they see him.”
“The Security Department may not be able to stop him. When he is impulsive, he will do anything to get what he wants. Moreover, he knows where I live, so he’ll still go and cause trouble every night.”
Yin Jinhui thought about the bad things that happened in the past and felt exhausted. “As long as I quit my job, he won’t be able to find me and he will give up.”
“You’re the one who rented the house, right? Why don’t you just move to a new place so that your brother won’t be able to find you?”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “How about this, don’t go home tonight. You can stay at my place for the time being. As for the hospital, I’ll help you think of a way to stop your brother from pestering you.”
She made the decision for Yin Jinhui in a few words. “It’s settled then. I’ll go back with you to pack your luggage after work.”
Yin Jinhui refused. “You just got back together with President Shen. It’s not appropriate for me to stay at your place…”
“Our house is a small courtyard with two neighboring houses. Hanyu and I live in one house, and the other house is empty.”
Sang Qianqian patted her hand. “Don’t worry and just stay there.”
Yin Jinhui did not know how to describe the gratitude she felt. “Thank you, Qianqian.”
“If you really want to thank me, why don’t you treat me to lunch at the cafeteria?”
Sang Qianqian smiled faintly. “So that we won’t owe each other anything.”
Of course, Yin Jinhui knew that Sang Qianqian’s help was a huge favor.
Her heart felt sour, but it was warm. “I’m willing to treat you everyday, let alone a single meal.”
In the afternoon, Sang Qianqian sent a message to Shen Hanyu. [I have a colleague who’s in trouble. I want her to stay in the small courtyard next door. Is that okay?]
The apartment next door was Shen Hanyu’s. Although he would probably not object to it, she still had to let him know..
