Chapter 59: Be with Me—I’ll Make Money and Take Care of You

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Be with Me—I’ll Make Money and Take Care of You "Don’t go, it’s cold outside. I’ll be right back. Go to your dorm and wait for me." "..." Jin Jumo paused slightly, "Okay." After returning to the dormitory, Jin Jumo sat on a stool with her legs in her arms, waiting for Jian Liangtong. Over ten minutes later, Jian Liangtong finally pushed open the dormitory door and came in. Jian Liangtong, with her dense, long eyelashes resembling false lashes, glanced at Jin Jumo as she lifted one eyelid slightly upon entering. Sniffing, she walked up to Jin Jumo and placed her bag with a thud on the table in front of her. She opened it, took out a wallet, extracted a check from inside, and handed it over. "..." Jin Jumo glanced at the check, her tightly pressed lips turning pale, her dark peach blossom eyes quietly watching Jian Liangtong. Jian Liangtong rubbed her nose, speaking hoarsely, "Come with me, I’ll make money and take care of you in the future." Tears welled up in Jin Jumo’s eyes, she blinked and lifted the corners of her mouth, "You’ll take care of me?" "Mm." Jian Liangtong nodded seriously, "This is a year’s salary I advanced from Huo Shaojun, you take it first." "Two million a year, the celebrity Huo is really generous." Jin Jumo murmured absently. Jian Liangtong didn’t respond. Jin Jumo snapped out of it, lowered her legs from the stool, stood up, and dragged a stool to place it in front of Jian Liangtong. Jian Liangtong lifted her eyelid slightly again to glance at Jin Jumo, pouted, and sat down. Jin Jumo watched Jian Liangtong’s awkward sitting posture, smiled slightly, and sat down as well. The two sisters sat together, and for a moment, neither took the initiative to speak. After a while, Jin Jumo’s sweet and soft voice finally sounded, "Liangtong, do you look down on me?" Upon hearing this, Jian Liangtong suddenly raised her head, her little face trembling with anger, "Jin Jumo, what the hell are you talking about, don’t you understand how I treat you? I almost took out my heart for you. How could you say that, how could you repay me like this?" Saying this, Jian Liangtong actually covered her face and started to cry. Jin Jumo panicked, hurriedly reached out to pull Jian Liangtong’s hand, only to have it shaken off fiercely. Jin Jumo, being thick-skinned, reached out again, getting shaken off several times. Only then did Miss Jian’s stubborn fit pass, and she no longer shook off Jin Jumo. Jin Jumo sighed in relief, reaching out to wipe the tears from her face. Meeting her red, teary eyes, Jin Jumo’s eyes flickered. From the moment she raised her eyes to look at her just now, she noticed that her eyes were full of bloodshot, the lower eyelid also swollen. This girl, she must have cried several times already. "It was my fault, I shouldn’t have said something like that, Miss Jian, please be generous, don’t argue with a little girl like me, okay?" Jin Jumo coaxed with a pitiful tone. Jian Liangtong whimpered, "You’re heartless." "Yes, yes, I’m heartless. Otherwise, you can hit me, hit me if it’ll make you feel better." "Grandma is too lazy to lift a finger." "Then should I hit myself?" Jian Liangtong pouted, staring at Jin Jumo for a while, and said, "Then go ahead and hit." "..." Jin Jumo’s face instantly turned bitter. Jian Liangtong twitched the corner of her mouth, holding back a laugh, she turned her face away. Seeing Jian Liangtong finally laugh, the tense emotion in Jin Jumo’s eyes slightly relaxed a bit. Jian Liangtong turned back to look at Jin Jumo, a hint of heartache and guilt in her eyes, "Ju Zi, I’m sorry, I didn’t know anything." Jin Jumo, however, thought openly, "There’s nothing to be sorry for, and I don’t regret doing this. For the sake of... I’d do anything." Jian Liangtong’s throat choked up again, "You never told me about Grandpa Jin’s medical expenses, which cost over three hundred thousand a month." In the past when she asked, she always said a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, even though Grandpa Jin’s company went bankrupt, it wasn’t to the point of not being able to afford a little medical fee. But over three hundred thousand, isn’t that just a little medical fee? Moreover, Linx Hospital is one of the top private hospitals in Z City, with top-notch medical equipment and a prestigious reputation in the industry, it’s no wonder not everyone can afford Linx Hospital’s medical expenses. She always knew Linx Hospital was expensive, but never imagined it would be so exorbitant. If she hadn’t stumbled upon it today... And thinking back to the past year, how she often stayed out all night, using the excuse of staying with Grandpa Jin at the hospital. She might never have known about this. She believed in Jin Jumo, if there wasn’t a compelling reason, she absolutely wouldn’t make such a choice. And the only thing Jin Jumo would sacrifice everything to protect was Jin Jiancheng. That’s why she went to the hospital specifically to ask about Jin Jiancheng’s monthly medical expenses, she just couldn’t believe it would be as much as over three hundred thousand a month. The more Jian Liangtong thought about it, the sadder and more guilty she felt. She always claimed she was her best friend, what a load of bullshit best friend! Seeing Jian Liangtong about to flood the place with tears again, Jin Jumo sighed, joking, "Alright, look, your eyes are as swollen as fists, keep crying and they’ll be completely covered." "Better to go blind. It’s not like having them makes a difference." Jian Liangtong sobbed. Jin Jumo pinched her face, "Such beautiful eyes, what a waste to go blind." With tears falling, Jian Liangtong’s red eyes like a rabbit’s looked at Jin Jumo, "Ju Zi, I’m sorry, what kind of friend am I, I know nothing, what kind of friend am I." This kindhearted girl! Jin Jumo held her hand, urging, "You’re so silly, you have nothing to be sorry for. Everything was my own decision, you didn’t force me, nor was your existence the reason for my decision. So, how are you sorry to me?" "I just am sorry to you!" Jian Liangtong pouted stubbornly. Jin Jumo quietly looked at her for a moment, fetched a tissue to wipe her tears, lowered her eyelashes, and said, "Liangtong, I have something to tell you." "What is it?" Jian Liangtong sniffed, her eyes red and swollen as she looked at Jin Jumo, her gaze filled with anxiety, fearing she’d say something even more shocking than what she discovered today. However, what Jin Jumo was about to say was indeed even more impactful. "I’m pregnant." Jin Jumo said quietly, bowing her head, her voice very soft yet extremely calm. After she finished speaking, the dormitory fell silent suddenly. "... Pregnant, pregnant, you said you’re pregnant?" After a moment, Jian Liangtong abruptly jumped up from her seat, her radiant face turning pale, staring at Jin Jumo in shock. Jin Jumo didn’t dare look at her, she nodded. "Oh my god." Jian Liangtong held her head, almost fainting from the impact of this news. Jin Jumo slightly lifted her gaze to look at Jian Liangtong’s overwhelmed face, biting her lower lip, unsure of what to say. The reason she told her wasn’t because she hadn’t considered her reaction. But now, she truly didn’t want to hide anything from her anymore. She understood Jian Liangtong’s personality, her reaction to discovering the affair with Rong Mochen wasn’t blame, rather she blamed herself for not caring enough, because she felt sorry for her. If she continued to hide her pregnancy, and someday she found out, who knew it might end their friendship. Jian Liangtong’s personality was the type that loved and hated deeply. If she was truly hurt, a person in her heart would be as good as dead. "What are you going to do?" Jian Liangtong inhaled sharply, her face tense and taut, clearly not over the shock yet, her pupils contracting as she asked Jin Jumo. Jin Jumo frowned, looking down at her belly, murmuring, "... Abort it!" She was only twenty, hadn’t graduated from college, and had just started working, and her grandpa still needed her care. This child came so unexpectedly, in a situation where she was totally unprepared, she couldn’t think of anything else but this option.
