For a moment, Jian Ai couldn’t think of a good solution. She felt defeated, but the money she had was limited. If she spent it, it would be gone, so she had to hit the jackpot.
Jian Yu’s voice came from the living room. Hearing that her brother was back, Jian Ai quickly kept her thoughts and put away the money on the bed.
“Brother!”
Jian Ai came out of the room and went up to him. However, before she could say anything, Jian Yu dragged her to the living room.
Jian Ai looked at Jian Yu curiously. “What’s wrong, Brother?”
Jian Yu revealed a mysterious smile. Then, he took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Jian Ai’s hand. “I’ve received my salary. You can keep these.”
Jian Ai was stunned. “Didn’t you say tomorrow…”
She looked down and saw that there were eight one hundred yuan bills.
Startled, Jian Ai looked up at her brother and asked, “Brother, why is there so much money? Why give them all to me?”
Jian Yu’s monthly salary was about eight hundred yuan. At most, it was only one thousand yuan. Then, he would split the amount into two, half for his mother and the other half for his sister.
At that moment, Jian Ai had eight hundred yuan in her hands, which was Jian Yu’s monthly salary. Hence why she was so surprised.
Faced with Jian Ai’s reaction, Jian Yu revealed a smug smile handsomely and said in a low voice, “I am promoted as the head. I will be recieving one thousand and five hundred yuan a month now.”
When Jian Ai heard this, her face lit up. “Really?”
Jian Yu nodded. “Of course.”
Jian Ai was happy for her brother. Although he was only the head of a bar, it was easier for him than for the waiters, and his salary increased.
However, Jian Ai didn’t put the money away. Instead, she quickly counted out five bills and handed them to Jian Yu. “Brother, keep these for yourself. I’ll just keep three hundred yuan.”
“I don’t need money!” Jian Yu looked at Jian Ai and said, “You can keep it. If a classmate buys something that you like, you can buy it too. Don’t always be reluctant to spend money. Erzhong is full of rich kids. I can’t let my sister be looked down upon.”
Her elder brother had always doted on her since she was young. In her previous life, Jian Ai was already used to it. But now, it was different. Jian Ai cherished her mother and brother even more. She did not want to be the person who always asked for things and let others give them to her blindly.
“I have money. I saved up more than a thousand yuan from what you gave me before. I don’t need this much.” Jian Ai insisted that her brother keep five hundred yuan for himself.
While they were pulling at each other, Jian Ai suddenly smelled a faint perfume scent.
Jian Ai was very knowledgeable about perfume. This perfume had a woody scent and was very light and elegant. From its scent, one could determine the concentration of the fragrance essence. This perfume did not have any fragrance essence added and was purely extracted from plants. One could tell that it was expensive from just one sniff.
Jian Ai paused and looked at Jian Yu in surprise. “Brother, why do you have perfume on you?”
As if he did not expect his sister to change the topic all of a sudden and expose the scent on him, his handsome face instantly turned red.
This reaction caught Jian Ai’s eyes. Although her brother had never been in a relationship before, he was good-looking and had a good figure. It was reasonable for a girl to pursue him. Looking at his brother’s red face and that he had a girl’s perfume on his body, it seemed that he was already attached.
