CHAPTER 41

When Bai Xiaojie returned home, her husband Ding Xiaofei was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. The house was tidy inside and outside. It should be the housekeeper that Lin Mixue hired last night. Bai Xiaojie sighed, sat opposite her husband, and asked in a calm tone: "Tell me, what's going on? For such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with me before making a decision?"

Ding Xiaofei raised his head and looked at Bai Xiaojie with a evasive look. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "I just wanted to take a chance. Who knew things would turn out like this."

Next, Ding Xiaofei told the whole story, which was basically the same as what he had said on the phone before. After listening to him, Bai Xiaojie sighed and said, "Husband, we are just an ordinary family. We just need to live our own lives peacefully. Don't always fantasize about those pie-in-the-sky things, okay? I know you also want to do something, but you still have to start from a familiar field. I have also asked several technology companies that are recruiting programmers for you these two days. After listening to your situation, they all said that you can go for an interview."

"What's so good about being a programmer? You work so hard and only make 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. What can you do with that?"

Ding Xiaofei lay down on the bed, spread out in a big letter shape, and said weakly, "What's wrong with 10,000 or 20,000 yuan? The current employment situation is not good, and it's enough to have a stable class. You are just too ambitious, you have to change this habit in the future. If it weren't for Mr. Xu's help this time, our house would have been taken away. We wouldn't even have a place to live. How are we going to live?"

Bai Xiaojie said with lingering fear. "Mr. Xu? Which Mr. Xu? Is he the wealthy client you mentioned a few days ago? By the way, you just said he would help, how did he help?"

Hearing his wife's words, Ding Xiaofei jumped up from the bed, stared at his wife and asked, "Yes, it's him. This time, thanks to Mr. Xu's help, he contacted our bank president for coordination, and the company that loaned you money agreed to only pay back the principal, not even the interest!"

Bai Xiaojie recalled Xu Fuhai's calm demeanor when he called, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. "Really no interest? He's so generous? No, even if you only pay back the principal, it will be 400,000. Where do you get so much money?"

Ding Xiaofei asked suspiciously. "How can I have so much money? Our family only has a little over 60,000 yuan in savings, not even a fraction of that. It was Mr. Xu who helped to advance the money."

Bai Xiaojie said unhappily. "He helped to pay for it? He paid for 400,000 yuan?"

Ding Xiaofei asked hurriedly. "Yes, or should I say it's all thanks to Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu has helped us a lot this time. He is our family's great benefactor. We must repay him in the future."

Bai Xiaojie said with emotion. "Repay? How are you going to repay?"

Ding Xiaofei looked at his wife, asking with a hint of mockery in his tone. "Just do your job well. I am Mr. Xu's service specialist, responsible for all his banking business. Mr. Xu just gave me a task. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to work at the bank right now."

Bai Xiaojie was about to get up and walk out, but was stopped by Ding Xiaofei. "Wait! I was wondering why those debt collectors just answered a phone call and left. Four hundred thousand, Mr. Xu is quite generous. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what did you do last night? Why didn't you go home all night?"

Ding Xiaofei pulled Bai Xiaojie aside and asked, "Ding Xiaofei, what do you mean? Don't you know how messy the house was last night? And that guy who sent you back home, do you know what he did?"

Bai Xiaojie was furious when she heard her husband's tone. "Maozi? What happened to him?"

Ding Xiaofei asked doubtfully. "He came into our house yesterday and made a move on me. If I hadn't scared him away with a pair of scissors, your wife would have been raped by him. What kind of crappy friends do you have!"

Bai Xiaojie said angrily. "What? Impossible, Maozi is my childhood friend, he can't do such a thing!"

Hearing his wife's words, Ding Xiaofei immediately shook his head and said, "What childhood friend? He's just a hooligan and a scumbag! Don't associate with people like him anymore!"

Bai Xiaojie glared at him and said, "I'll ask Maozi about it. You haven't told me that you didn't come home last night!"

Ding Xiaofei continued to ask, "Where else could I go? After I chased Maozi away last night, Mr. Xu called me and asked about my work. Then he found out about our family situation. He sent me to the hospital for a checkup that night. Later, because it was too late and the house was too messy, and you were so drunk, he was worried about me being alone at home, so he let me stay at his house for one night."

Bai Xiaojie explained. "Haha, I was wondering why Mr. Xu was so generous. He gave me 400,000 yuan just like that. So that's what happened."

Ding Xiaofei chuckled, and his tone became a little sarcastic. "Ding Xiaofei, what do you mean? I just stayed at Mr. Xu's house for one night, and I lived with Sister Lin. What are you thinking?"

Bai Xiaojie was a little angry when she heard her husband doubt her relationship with Mr. Xu. "Look, look, I haven't said anything yet, why are you so anxious? This Mr. Xu is very cunning. In my opinion, you don't have to pay back the 400,000 yuan. Didn't you say you would pay him well? Just pay him back with this."

Ding Xiaofei sneered and said, deliberately emphasizing the word "do". "Ding Xiaofei, are you sick? Mr. Xu is helping me out of good intentions, but it's not what you think! I've lived with you for so many years, can you trust me a little? Am I that kind of person?"

Bai Xiaojie was really angry and asked loudly, "Am I sick? You are just feeling guilty! Where did you get all this? It's not cheap, is it? And the cosmetics, was it given by Mr. Xu? You still dare to say that you two are fine? If you are fine, why would someone give you 400,000? I think this is the money you got for selling your body!"

Ding Xiaofei roared loudly. "Ding Xiaofei, stop throwing dirty water on me! What do you mean by selling your body for money? Mr. Xu and I are innocent, there is nothing wrong! Mr. Xu does things in an upright manner, he doesn't have those dirty thoughts like you!"

Bai Xiaojie was furious. The words "selling your body for money" had really irritated her. She had never thought that her husband would not trust her so much! "Is it my dirty thoughts or the dirty things you did? I don't believe that you have done nothing wrong and he would give you 400,000 yuan for no reason!"

Ding Xiaofei asked loudly. "Ding Xiaofei, you are totally unreasonable! Not only do you not have the ability to earn money to support your family, but you are also so petty. I see through you! You can think whatever you want. I still have to go to work and I don't have time to argue with you!"

Bai Xiaojie said this, picked up her bag and turned to leave! "What kind of work are you going to? Are you going to hang out with your wild man?"

Ding Xiaofei shouted loudly. "Right! Didn't you tell me to do a good job for him? I'll do it for him right now!"

Bai Xiaojie said this and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

A wine bottle was thrown from behind the door and smashed against it, accompanied by Ding Xiaofei's roar! "Stinky bitch, don't come back if you leave, go with your wild man!"

Listening to her husband's words, Bai Xiaojie's eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she staggered downstairs. Thinking back to the harsh words her husband said, Bai Xiaojie felt more and more wronged. She had given so much to this family, but in return she received only suspicion from her husband. She didn't know what was going on, but her husband had become more and more suspicious in the past two years. He had always suspected that she had an abnormal relationship with the bank president, and had even made trouble at work several times, making her lose face. Now that he no longer doubts the bank president, he has begun to doubt Mr. Xu again. She is simply hopeless! Arriving at the bank, Bai Xiaojie sorted out the financial information of Mr. Xu's unit, and began to complete the work he had assigned her with all her heart, trying to suppress the unhappiness caused by the quarrel with her husband in her heart. "Wow, Bai Xiaojie, this dress of yours is a new model of Chanel this year, it's really beautiful, and not cheap, where did you buy it?"

A colleague at the next table noticed the change in Bai Xiaojie and asked in surprise, "I... I don't know either. Someone gave it to me."

Bai Xiaojie quickly explained. "Given as a gift? I saw this dress online, it costs over 6,000 yuan, who gave it to me? That's really generous."

A colleague said enviously. Listening to her colleague's words, Bai Xiaojie didn't say anything, but she enjoyed the envious eyes of her colleague in her heart. This skirt was given by Lin Mixue. She wanted to refuse it at first, but her uniform was dirty last night. Lin Mixue washed it for her and hung it up. It's not dry yet, and Bai Xiaojie has no choice. She was going to pay, but Lin Mixue refused, and she had no choice. While feeling a little proud, Bai Xiaojie also felt a little distressed, as if she owed Mr. Xu more and more favors. After a while, the president of the bank called. "Xiaobai, come to my office for a moment."

President Li said on the phone, "Okay, President. I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaojie quickly stood up and walked towards the president's office. "Xiaobai, Mr. Xu's personal assistant Ms. Lin will be here soon to ask you to go out and handle some business. When she comes, you can go with her. Remember to provide good service and don't let anything go wrong. Mr. Xu is now the most important client of our bank!"

President Li said seriously. "Oh, okay, President, please rest assured, I will do my best to serve you."

Lin Mixue said quickly. "Well, Xiaobai, Mr. Xu is really kind to you. He personally came out to help you solve the loan problem and even paid 400,000 yuan himself. You have to thank him!"

President Li said, "Please rest assured, I will provide Mr. Xu with the best service."

Hearing the president's words, Bai Xiaojie quickly assured him. "Well, Mr. Xu's help to you shows that he thinks highly of you. Xiaobai, Mr. Xu is the noble man in your life, you must grasp this opportunity well, okay? If you grasp it well, you will be able to ascend to heaven in one step. Maybe I will have to ask you to take care of me in the future."

President Li said half-jokingly. "President, please stop joking. You will always be my leader!"

Hearing the president's words, Bai Xiaojie was so scared that she quickly expressed her opinion. "Alright, alright, I'm just kidding you. Why are you so nervous? Go ahead. When Ms. Lin comes, just follow her. You don't have to clock in on time. You can arrange your working hours flexibly and provide good service to Mr. Xu. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me directly!"

President Li waved his hand and said forcefully, "Okay, President, thank you, I understand!"

Bai Xiaojie nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, get busy!"

President Li waved his hand and said. Bai Xiaojie stood up and walked out of the president's office, thinking about what the president had just said, especially the last few sentences, which seemed to have some deep meaning. Just as she was thinking, someone suddenly called her name. "Bai Xiaojie, where have you been? I was looking for you!"

Bai Xiaojie raised her head and saw Lin Mixue in a purple dress standing not far in front of her and greeting her warmly. She quickly took a few steps to greet her.
