This made Leng Minxing feel very frustrated. He had earned so much money, but it seemed almost useless. Luo Xi managed to support herself just fine without relying on him.
Thinking about this made him feel uncomfortable, and he asked, “Where do you keep your salary?”
“In my own card. I haven’t used it.” Luo Xi hadn’t expected him to ask this suddenly, so she explained.
She didn’t lack for food or clothing, and her earnings seemed to serve little purpose.
“Give it to me.”
Leng Minxing said casually.
Luo Xi pulled out her own card from her bag and handed it to him. After a moment’s thought, she also handed him the black card he had given her, saying seriously, “If anything comes up, you must tell me. We can share the burden. I can earn money too.”
Leng Minxing: “…”
Why did her words make him feel like he was on the brink of bankruptcy?
Luo Xi was indeed worried. After all, Leng Minxing had to support so many people and maintain the company, so the expenses must be huge.
Her father’s company often faced cash flow issues. Every time something like this happened, they would cut her allowance and even take loans when necessary. It always left her with the feeling that they could go bankrupt at any moment. Surely Leng Minxing faced similar pressures running a business.
Fortunately, she had never been reckless with her spending. With this thought, Luo Xi felt a bit relieved. Although she knew her little earnings wouldn’t make much of a difference, she would be happy to help him in any way she could.
“What are you talking about, sister-in-law?” Leng Me’er, who was sitting in the front, asked curiously after hearing Luo Xi’s strange words.
Luo Xi quickly shook her head, not wanting to worry her. “Nothing.”
Leng Minxing was both amused and exasperated. He handed back the black card. “From now on, you’re only allowed to use this one, got it?”
Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. “This card has much more money than mine.”
Leng Minxing: “…That’s fine, I only need this much.”
Although she didn’t understand what he was planning, Luo Xi nodded and accepted the card without further questioning.
Leng Me’er shot a glance at the card, thinking Leng Minxing had given Luo Xi a black card.
Her eyes quickly turned green with envy as she said, “Big cousin, I want one too!”
Leng Minxing gave her a sidelong glance. Just as Leng Me’er regretted her words, he suddenly pulled out another black card and handed it to her.
Leng Me’er’s eyes widened, her lips trembling, her eyes filled with disbelief. “Is this for me?”
She had only been joking, not really expecting to receive one, yet here was her big cousin actually giving her one!
For a moment, Leng Me’er thought she was dreaming.
Seeing her stunned silence, Leng Minxing frowned. “You don’t want it?”
Startled, Leng Me’er quickly reached out to take it. “Yes, of course I want it!”
It was a black card, after all. Who in their right mind would refuse?
Luo Xi watched Leng Minxing in confusion. Did she overthink things? Was Leng Minxing not facing any financial issues after all?
Then why did he want her card…?
Oh well, it didn’t matter since she had no use for it. If he wanted it, she could give it to him.
Leng Me’er sneaked a glance at Luo Xi. Seeing she had no objections, her heart raced as she tucked the card into her bag, her face full of excitement.
Ten minutes later, the car pulled up to the old residence.
Leng Muyu was reading in his room when he heard a loud knock on the door. He furrowed his brow, instantly knowing who it was.
Opening the door, he found Leng Me’er standing there with an excited expression.
Her expression puzzled Leng Muyu. He asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be out with Luo Xi for some gathering? Why are you back so soon?”
