Chapter 1656: But I Don’t Have Any Money

Li Jinnan carried his woman on his back as he headed toward the taxi queue. While in line, he spotted two familiar individuals.

Li Jinnan nudged Ye Youyou gently and said, “Look over there.”

Ye Youyou raised her head to take a look. She immediately spotted Ye Qianqian.

By Ye Qianqian’s side stood a very tall man.

He was dressed simply but stylishly, and his facial features were pronounced.

His hair had been cleanly and tastefully cut short. His skin tone was fair. He looked handsome and attractive.

It was none other than Shen Zhilie.

Ye Youyou was very surprised and asked, “Why is Shen Zhilie here too? Was he on the same flight as us?”

“I don’t think so.” Li Jinnan noticed the obvious curiosity burning in Ye Youyou’s eyes and teasingly asked, “Is there any chance that Shen Zhilie might become your brother-in-law again?”

Ye Youyou’s brows shot together when she heard that question.

The thought of Shen Zhilie being her sister’s husband made her heart feel funny.

“I... don’t think so.”

–

Ye Qianqian had been in the midst of her afternoon nap when she received Shen Zhilie’s call.

When she answered the call, that damn bloke merely stated, “I reach Kingstown at 3 p.m. Remember to pick me up.”

“No! Scram!”

“I can’t. I don’t have any money with me, and I’ve never taken the subway before. I won’t be able to go home. You have to come pick me up!”

“Go away!”

Ye Qianqian was infuriated and responded simply by switching off her phone. She hugged her pillow and went back to dreamland.

It was a clear and sunny day outside, and the sun’s rays were especially harsh.

With the air-conditioner in the room switched on, Ye Qianqian got a little too comfortable and lost track of time as she slept.

After arising from her nap and taking a shower, she suddenly recalled the fact that Shen Zhilie was returning to Kingstown.

She turned her cellphone on and realized that it was already 5 p.m.

Ye Qianqian bit her tongue. Just as she was about to give Shen Zhilie a call, an incoming call flashed on her phone.

It was, of course, Shen Zhilie.

Ye Qianqian was feeling a little guilty and answered weakly, “Hello...”

“Miss Ye! I’ve been standing in the airport for over an hour!”

“Well, take a taxi back!”

“I don’t have any money with me.” Shen Zhilie’s tone was full of grievance. “My salary for this month is only coming in tomorrow. I was down to zero after buying my plane ticket back.”

“F*ck! Aren’t you an heir of a wealthy family? Since when did you have to rely on your paycheck to make a living?” Ye Qianqian clearly didn’t believe him.

“Who told you I was an heir of a wealthy family? My father is a doctor, and my mother is a professor. What sort of an heir does that make me?” Shen Zhilie pitiably asked. His luggage was by his side as he sat in the airport’s air-conditioned VIP lounge and sipped coffee.

“Do you take me for an idiot? Your father is the head of the hospital, and that mother of yours is the Chairwoman of the Research Department! Even your brother is some medically inclined genius. Why are you telling me you don’t have enough money to take a taxi? I don’t believe you! Come back now or not. In any case, I’m not going to pick you up!”

“Could you not be this heartless? I really don’t have a single cent with me. Furthermore, I don’t know how to take the subway. I’ve never done it before!”

Ye Qianqian hardened her heart and was adamant. “I’m not coming!” She hung up the call right away.

Shen Zhilie had hit a brick wall and was feeling a little defeated.

A young lady from the VIP lounge walked over blushing and asked, “Mr. Shen, where do you need to go? I’m knocking off from work soon. You’re welcome to ride with me.”

“What? But I don’t have any money!” Shen Zhilie lied without missing a beat.

“That’s fine. Let’s just add each other on WeChat and that can be your taxi fare. What do you say?”

“That’s not necessary. My girlfriend will be coming to pick me up.”
