Chapter 2640: Chapter 2640: I Can’t Accept This Money
Jian Yufei smiled and said, "I’m just a bit surprised, come in and have a seat."
Li Mingxi walked in and sat down on the sofa.
"What would you like to drink?" Jian Yufei asked her.
Li Mingxi waved her hand, "Don’t be too polite with me, come sit down, I have something to tell you."
Jian Yufei sat down beside her, "What is it?"
Li Mingxi took out a check from her handbag and handed it to her.
"I don’t have much money either, this is one hundred million that Mingchen and I put together, take it."
Jian Yufei froze but then returned the money to her.
"Cousin, I can’t take this money. I know that since the Ruan Family incident, you’ve already helped us a lot, so I can’t accept this money."
Li Mingxi chuckled, "I know this amount is just a drop in the ocean for you, you wouldn’t be looking down on it, would you?"
"Not at all!"
"Then take it—" Li Mingxi firmly pushed it back to her, "When Ruan Tianling returns and succeeds, you can pay me back. Or at worst, when Ansel grows up and succeeds, you can pay us back then."
"Cousin..."
"Alright, don’t fuss. Originally, I wanted to give the money directly to Aunt, but she didn’t want it, so it’s yours. Take it; actually, we can’t do much more."
Jian Yufei clasped the check, grateful, "Alright, then I shall accept it. Thank you, cousin, and cousin Mingchen too."
Li Mingxi’s smile faded as she asked seriously, "Is there really no news about Ruan Tianling?"
Jian Yufei’s eyes suddenly dimmed.
"No, we’re searching every day, but we can’t find a single clue."
"You need to move forward, whether he can return or not."
"Yes, I know!"
If it were before, losing Ruan Tianling would make her not want to live.
But in the last few days, she’s realized the weight of the responsibilities on her shoulders.
In a lifetime, it’s not just about love; family and friendship can’t be lacking either.
If Ruan Tianling truly can’t come back... she must live more fully to honor Ruan Tianling’s contributions.
"Right, cousin, Xiao Lang just brought me back, did you run into him?" Jian Yufei shifted the topic, asking tentatively.
Li Mingxi candidly said, "We did meet."
"You and him..."
"There won’t be anything between us. I’ve experienced romance once, and that’s enough; it’s better to be free and happy alone."
Jian Yufei couldn’t read her emotions, "But I can sense that Xiao Lang clearly hasn’t let go of you."
"With time, he’ll let go." Li Mingxi spoke lightly, as if discussing Xiao Lang was like talking about someone else.
Jian Yufei truly couldn’t understand them anymore.
Although Xiao Lang’s words back then were a bit harsh, Li Mingxi wasn’t the kind of person who would be so heartless just over some words.
What was it that made her so cold-hearted?
...
Li Mingxi didn’t stay for long before she left.
Jian Yufei saw her out and then took the collected 1.1 billion to Ruan Mingtao.
Ruan’s father asked her where she got it from, and Jian Yufei didn’t hide anything.
After hearing, Ruan’s father didn’t say much and accepted the money.
Now with this money, the Ruan family’s pressure is much lessened, but it’s still not enough to pay off all the debts.
Jian Yufei no longer knows how to raise money, so she mustered the courage to call Nangong Wenxiang.
Upon hearing that she wanted to borrow money, Nangong Wenxiang directly asked her how much she needed.
