Chapter 68 - Use my credit card (1)
After transmigrating, Ji Qingqing had gone through the original owner's assets and calculated how much she could get if she sold off the original owner's personal property. The resale value of those items and the condo in the downtown area would fetch her about 10 million yuan.
Now that she didn't have to compensate Shen Weiwei anymore, she felt as if she was drowning in riches.
"You don't have to worry. In a few days, I'll be going back to work. I already have signed endorsement deals. Even though they aren’t for top brand name products, the endorsement fees aren't low. I'll have opportunities to get acting roles too later. Mr. Lu, I have my own money and I can live well by myself."
Ji Qingqing felt as if she had said these words in an especially grand manner that was full of pride and face.
What was that saying? Hard work is the most glorious thing!
"I'll spend the money that I earned myself. I don't need you to support me. So Mr. Lu, you can keep your credit card."
Lu Lixing listened to Ji Qingqing's sharp words and looked at her prideful expression. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't flatter yourself."
Ji Qingqing looked at him in confusion.
Lu Lixing rubbed the credit card between his fingers. After silently contemplating for a while, he deliberately put on an indifferent expression. "I ordered a string of prayer beads for grandpa, but I'm busy at work tomorrow, so I don't have time to pick it up. Your grandpa's granddaughter-in-law, is it inconveniencing you too much to pick up prayer beads for him?"
Picking up prayer beads?
"But you just told me that this credit card doesn't have a spending limit and I can swipe it as many times as I want."
"I only put down a deposit when I ordered those prayer beads. I forgot how much the remaining balance is. I said that there's no spending limit because I don't want you to worry that paying for the prayer beads will go over the spending limit." Lu Lixing tried his best to find an excuse for his behavior and to fix any gaps in his logic.
Ji Qingqing froze in surprise for a moment. "Why didn't you start off by saying that?!"
"How could I have known you would misunderstand me?"
Ji Qingqing's face was flushed to the tips of her ears as she thought of her recent self-righteous words. She had so adamantly declared that she didn't need his money and that she could earn her own money. She wished that she could swallow back her earlier words.
What was she thinking?
Why had she thought Lu Lixing was giving that credit card to her? She really was being narcissistic.
Lu Lixing threw the credit card back at Ji Qingqing the same way she had thrown it at him earlier. "Take it."
Ji Qingqing fumbled to catch the card. With a blushing face, she asked, "W-Where do I go to pick up the prayer beads?"
"I'll text you the address. Just tell them my name when you get there."
"... Oh." She put the card away. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. "I'm going to take a bath."
Lu Lixing's eyelids drooped. "En."
Wrong-footed, Ji Qingqing slipped away to the bathroom.
As soon as the bathroom door closed, Lu Lixing immediately picked up his phone and made a call.
"Order prayer beads for me within the next half hour. It has to cost at least half a million yuan. Text me the address after you order it. I'll send someone to pick it up tomorrow."
The person on the other phone froze in surprise multiple times.
"C-CEO Lu? You're alive?"
Lu Lixing enunciated each syllable as he said, "Go do it right now!"
"O-Oh, I'll get right to it. Immediately!"
Lu Lixin hung up the call with a gloomy face. At the same time, he was relieved.
He gave her the card, and she would be charging half a million yuan on it tomorrow.
Lu Lixing delightfully thought; like taking candy from a baby.
