Chapter 79 76. The so-called family members

"You've eaten four pieces."

When Lee Ji-en's chopsticks fell on the chicken wings on the plate, a faint reminder came from his ears.

"Is there any?" Lee Ji-eun looked at Lee Jong-hoon who was silently staring at his chopsticks.

Lee Jong-hoon's eyes and tone were equally firm, "Oh mom said, it's three yuan per person."

Looking at the four chicken bones beside his bowl, Li Zhien was silent for a moment, coughed lightly and calmly took back his chopsticks, "The piece I ate just now was given to me by Oppa."

Li Zhongxun took a deep breath, "Brother has been back to China for a month! What you eat is mine!"

"Stingy, I just remembered it wrong?" Li Zhien picked up a chopstick of spicy cabbage into Li Zhongxun's bowl, "Here, I'll compensate you."

"Spicy cabbage and chicken wings, yes." Lee Jong-hoon fell into self-doubt.

"Don't bully Zhong Xun all day long. Your brother will find out sooner or later deal with you." He Jingshu knocked on the edge of her bowl helplessly.

"Not me, there are people who rely on oppa to try to provoke it." Li Zhien muttered and refused to admit it.

Dingdong!

The doorbell was ringed.

The three people at the dining table looked towards the entrance at the same time.

"Is my dad back? Didn't he bring the key?" Lee Ji-eun got off the chair, "I'll go and have a look."

When he arrived at the entrance, Li Zhien pressed the door handle and said, "Here you come."

The door was pushed open.

But the person standing outside the door stunned Lee Ji-en slightly.

"Truth? Why is it you?"

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Lee Ji-eun's room.

"Your mom is too much."

Looking at the girl with red and swollen eyes in front of her, Li Zhien felt distressed and angry, and clenched her fists and said, "How could they do this to you?"

Cui Zhenli lowered her face, her eyes slightly lowered and her words were not spoken.

Lee Ji-eun sighed, half-kneeled on the ground and rubbed forward, hugged Choi Zhenli in his arms, and touched her hair, "You can stay at my house tonight."

As soon as she opened the door, she realized that something was wrong with Choi Zhenli, and obviously she had cried.

After her questioning just now, Cui Zhenli finally explained the whole story to her intermittently.

Unlike Lee Ji-eun, Choi Jin-ri started to participate in acting work as a child star since she was eleven years old. Naturally, all the money she earned was handed over to her mother to manage, and she herself kept getting pocket money to live.

But a while ago, she accidentally found out that her mother, Kim Soo-jing, the person she is closest to, did not save any deposits for her.

Seven years of hard work left nothing behind.

And just when she had not completely digested the news, her mother came to the company again today, hoping to advance the cost of the game endorsement that Gu Heng introduced to Cui Zhenli a few days ago.

After people from S.M. said that the fees had not been transferred from Kakao to the company's account. After feeling embarrassed about her request, Kim Soo-jing made a fuss at the company, and the scene was once a bit ugly.

Today's incident finally completely destroyed the girl's psychological defense.

Even the sympathetic gazes of the seniors and members of the group became a huge pressure that she could not bear, and she hurriedly fled to Li Zhien.

Choi Zhenli said "um" gently, and gently hugged Lee Ji-eun, "Thank you, Ji-eun."

"It's okay, it's okay, I just don't have someone to help me fix that guy Lee Jong-hoon. You're here just in time and you can stay at home for a while longer, hehe." Lee Ji-en tried hard to liven up the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the effect is not obvious.

She sighed distressedly, and she hesitated, "Why do I ask Zonghan Oppa to see if there are any people in the company who understand the law and see how to deal with this kind of thing? I won't talk about the past, but the salary for the work in the future must be taken into your own hands."

Choi Zhenli pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, Zhien, this kind of thing is a scandal. I am an artist of S.M., not Loen. If I find your relationship, what will the company think?"

Lee Ji-en patted his head lightly and realized, "I didn't think it through."

"It's okay, I've already told Taeyeon Ouni that I'll see the company or her, can I help me think of a solution?" Choi Zhenli comforted Lee Ji-eun in turn.

Lee Ji-eun's eyebrows frowned into a horoscope, "I always have to find solutions in many ways, just wait for Taeyeon and Oni, that's too passive."

After pinching her chin and thinking for a while, she clapped her hands and said, "Wait for me to ask about Oppa!"

"Gu Heng oppa?"

"Bingo! He will definitely have a solution." Lee Ji-eun was full of confidence and took out his cell phone from his arms.

"But he has returned to China, and will this be too troublesome to him?" Cui Zhenli hesitated.

The favor I endorsed last time was not paid back, and the old debt I cheated him with Li Zhien last time was not settled yet. Now I have to trouble him again

"Don't worry, I think he wants you to be his sister."

Li Zhien frowned and snorted, obviously still remembering some of the things Gu Heng had said before.

To comfort Cui Zhenli, Lee Ji-eun skillfully found Gu Heng's name from the address book and pressed the dial button.

The phone was quickly connected, and Li Zhien put the phone in front of the two of them and turned on the hands-free one.

However, unlike the way she was just now, Li Zhien went around several circles before finally asking a question tentatively.

Gu Heng's reaction also exceeded the expectations of the two.

"Lawyer? Let me explain the matter clearly first, why do you suddenly find a lawyer?"

"Don't hide it."

Obviously, Gu Heng misunderstood Li Zhien's meaning.

But after Li Zhien hurriedly explained, Gu Heng was like a divine calculation and directly called Cui Zhenli's name.

Lee Ji-eun and Choi Zhenli looked at each other in a daze.

After adjusting his breathing, Cui Zhenli took the phone to his ear.

"Yeah, it's me, sorry." She apologized first.

"Have you cried?" Gu Heng keenly heard her hoarse voice, and his tone became much gentler. "What's going on, let's talk slowly."

Purging his lips, Choi Zhenli whispered to him and said, "Don't have any burden on oppa, I'm here too."

"What's the point of showing off? According to South Korean laws, girls are not considered adults, and brothers and sisters like Taeyeon and me are there." Gu Heng taught her a lesson.

Cui Zhenli felt warm in her heart, "Thank you oppa"

"Well, there is no need to say that, I don't know much about the laws in South Korea, but if you are not yet an adult, it may be a bit troublesome to deal with it."

"In this way, I will ask my friends from Kakao to negotiate with your company to see if we can temporarily detain the previous endorsement fee for a period of time so as not to your mother's side."

Gu Heng's voice was not high, but it gave her a faint sense of peace of mind and confidence.

Perhaps her brothers, sisters and friends are more like their own family.

This thought suddenly flashed across Cui Zhenli.
