Chapter 269 - 269: 269 Points of Good Luck
Li Muyao carefully wiped Huo Jiling’s hands with a disinfectant wipe and turned up the air conditioner in Huo Jiling’s office. She thought that he must have accidentally turned the air conditioner down at night and forgotten about it when he was busy with work.
Looking at Huo Jiling, who was breathing steadily, Li Muyao felt a little lucky. In her previous life, she had been working alone. In order to earn more money, she had worked very hard to get clients to ask her for a beauty treatment. Li Muyao was willing to work overtime. She even often didn’t eat to help her clients.
After she was transferred from a beautician to a senior beauty manager, Li Muyao’s days were finally over.
However, even if her salary was higher and higher year after year, Li Muyao was unwilling to let herself fall sick. Once she fell sick, she had her own ways to treat herself.
Just like how she took care of Huo Jiling, Huo Jiling’s fever would definitely go down within two hours.
Suddenly, Li Muyao felt that the current Huo Jiling was a bit like her previous life when she was trying to earn money. Not wanting to reminisce about her past life in Jincheng, Li Muyao started to play with her phone. As she scrolled through it, she found a text message from Li Yahua, and she even replied to it.
Li Muyao didn’t have any impression of him at all.” Did you call me back yesterday when you were queuing up with Huo Jiling to go to the toilet?””
She looked at the time Li Yahua sent the text message and the time she replied to it was indeed around that time.
Li Muyao was extremely glad that she still had a look at her phone. Otherwise, she would have stood Li Yahua up again.
The last time she came back from the orphanage, Li Muyao had already arranged to have dinner with Li Yahua. However, Huo Jiling had also come along. Li Muyao didn’t mind. After all, one more person wouldn’t make her poor. Besides, just as Huo Jiling had said, at least he was her childhood sweetheart and a friend. He definitely wouldn’t let Li Muyao have dinner with a man alone.
Li Muyao was confident that she could beat up two men, let alone eat with one man. However, Huo Jiling didn’t think so. He gave a bunch of reasons that Li Muyao couldn’t refuse and took Huo Jiling to the appointment. When they arrived at the hotel, Li Yahua, who had been texting Li Muyao that he had arrived, suddenly changed his mind and said that he had something urgent to attend to and had to leave.
In the end, only Li Muyao and Huo Jiling were left.
Just as she was reading the message, another message from Li Yahua came in.
[Uncle (Li Yahua): Yaoyao, I want to introduce you to an investment project during lunch. Are you interested?]
[Li Muyao: I’m interested. Uncle, let’s talk about it at noon. By the way, I’ll bring a friend over for dinner. Is that okay?]]
[Uncle (Li Yahua): Yaoyao, is it still that male friend from last time?]
[Li Muyao: Yes, can Uncle do it?]
[Uncle (Li Yahua): Whatever Yaoyao says is fine.]
Li Muyao looked at Li Yahua’s reply and felt that it was a little strange after reading it a few times. However, Li Muyao was more interested in the investment project that Li Yahua had sent.
Li Muyao had no idea that Li Yahua, who had been irritated by Li Muyao’s message, was on the other end of the message.
“Huo Jiling, good job!”
Li Yahua was a little frustrated but also a little relieved because he remembered Yaoyao saying,””lf my childhood sweetheart hadn’t died, perhaps I would have married someone long ago and wouldn’t have met you.”
Huo Jiling: “Everyone knows I’ll die early, poor thing..”
