“Yaoyao, it’s settled then. Quit your job here, and I’ll help you quit…”
After saying those words, Lin jiage whipped out his phone and began flipping through his phone number.
Standing before him, Shi Yao stared at his actions for a moment before her lips finally moved. “But I don’t want to quit my job here…”
Lin Jiage’s hand-tapping on his phone came to a halt. He lowered his eyelids slightly and stared at the screen for a moment before suppressing the agitation in his chest and trying his best to calm his voice, he spoke up, “Yaoyao, you’re still in school. Your main task right now is to study. After you graduate, you can find a decent job. There’s no need for you to be in such a hurry to earn money right now. Besides, the job here isn’t suitable for you…”
Shi Yao remained silent, but she had her own thoughts.
If the job here wasn’t suitable for her, then what job was suitable for her?
They were from two different worlds. If her grandfather hadn’t suddenly come to their house six years ago, and her father had made her his fiancée because of the one million yuan, she might have lost her father, after that, she and her mother might have been living a hard life together… perhaps, it might have been so hard that both she and her mother would have to worry about three meals a day. At that time, who would care about whether such a job was suitable for her or not?
Furthermore, her family was her family, and his family was his family. They couldn’t just live off of a marriage contract, her family could live off of his family without any worries… this was completely illogical and unreasonable… there were so many people in this world who were married to each other, so who would be able to support their wife’s family after getting married?
Furthermore, she and Lin Jiage weren’t even married yet, and her family had already used up so much of his family’s money. There was no reason for them not to pay him back. After all, there were so many brothers and sisters who wanted to borrow money from him..
Seeing that Shi Yao was still unwilling to make a sound, Lin Jiage’s mood worsened.
He knew that she was earning money to pay him and the Lin family back, but it was precisely because of this that he felt inexplicably vexed.
He closed his eyes slightly to suppress the raging flames in his heart, and he continued to compromise, “Yaoyao, if you really want to work, that’s fine too. I’ll help you find something else to do. In any case, I can’t work here…”
After a brief pause, Lin Jiage continued,”… it just so happens that I’ve registered my own company in the past few days. If you really want to work part-time, can you come over and help me?”
Shi Yao’s fingers trembled slightly, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on her clothes. Pursing her lips, she lowered her head and replied softly, “I can choose not to work here…”
A hint of joy flashed across Lin Jiage’s eyes, but it only took a moment for him to realize what was going on, he spoke up once more, “Are you here because of what Liang Jiusi said just now? Yaoyao, I’m not here because you’re working here. I’m not here because you’re a disgrace to my reputation or the Lin family…”
“I know…”Shi Yao understood what Lin Jiage was trying to say, and before he could finish his words, she had already spoken up.
On this point, she trusted him and the Lin family. At the very most, they would feel that she had been wronged, but they wouldn’t feel embarrassed just because she was a waitress.
However, Liang Jiusi’s words made sense as well. They didn’t feel embarrassed, but it was inevitable that others wouldn’t talk about them… In the end, they still didn’t want the Lin family to suffer from unnecessary criticism for their own reasons, putting the Lins through all this unnecessary finger-pointing.
At this thought, Shi Yao continued, “I know that’s not what you mean. I believe you. I can resign from here, but I won’t work for you.”
