Chapter 692 - 698: Since You Call Me Sister
Chu Xiaoge was afraid that he would get agitated upon seeing her when he woke up, so she didn’t dare stay long and prepared to leave.
Li Li, however, didn’t want to be separated from her daughter and her eyes turned red again, "Xiao Ge, you’ve just come back. Where are you staying? Give your phone number and address to mom, okay? Don’t let mom lose contact with you again..."
Listening to Li Li’s pleading words, Chu Xiaoge felt another pang of sorrow and quickly saved her number on Li Li’s phone.
"Mom, don’t worry, I’m not leaving this time. Don’t worry about the money, I’ll find a way. Dad... I’ll leave him to you. I’ll come back to see you both."
After consoling Li Li for a bit, Chu Xiaoge still left with Chuchu without looking back.
Chu Xiaoge roughly calculated that she had just over thirty thousand on hand.
Over the years, she had to take care of her child and work, and hadn’t been able to save much money.
The doctor had said that her father’s surgery would require at least eighty thousand, and it would be best to prepare one hundred thousand.
On top of that, the family still owed more than fifty thousand in external debts, so where could she come up with so much money at once?
Moreover, she had just returned and hadn’t even found a job yet.
...
Fang Fang received a call from Chu Xiaoge just as she came out of the executive meeting room.
She knew Chu Xiaoge would definitely come back to find her, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon. And the first thing Chu Xiaoge said was, "Sister Fang Fang, if I come back to work, can I get an advance on my salary?"
Advances on salary were certainly possible, but they were only available to long-term employees.
Chu Xiaoge had just joined and already wanted an advance on her salary, which was pretty much impossible.
However, Fang Fang didn’t immediately reject her. Instead, she asked, "What’s wrong, Xiao Ge? What’s happened?"
"I... my dad had a heart attack and needs immediate surgery!"
"I see... In your situation, the company probably won’t allow an advance, but I’ve saved some money over the years. Since you call me sister, I can lend you some first to tide you over. How about that?"
"Really, Sister Fang Fang? Thank you so much!" Chu Xiaoge was so moved she didn’t know what to say.
They had only worked together five years ago and hadn’t been in touch since. Now she was back asking for money, and Fang Fang not only wasn’t upset but trusted her enough to agree!
For Chu Xiaoge, this was truly a relationship worth cherishing.
Fang Fang chuckled, "Of course it’s true! But you have to start working here from tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay! Don’t worry, Sister Fang Fang!"
After talking about some work-related matters, Chu Xiaoge finally hung up.
Chuchu, who was playing with building blocks nearby, ran over on her short legs when she saw Chu Xiaoge hang up the phone, "Mommy, have you found a job?"
"Yes... it’s the auntie you met today. She even agreed to lend money for Grandpa’s surgery," Chu Xiaoge said, looking somewhat excited, a smile on her face.
But soon, her eyes filled with sadness again as she worriedly looked at Chuchu, "But if mommy goes to work, there won’t be time to be with you. What should we do?"
Over the years, Chu Xiaoge had thought about working more to save money, but Chuchu was too young and needed someone with her. She couldn’t just leave Chuchu alone at home, right?
So she had to live a tighter life.
Chuchu pouted, clearly indicating that she also wanted to spend more time playing with mommy.
But... if mommy doesn’t go to earn money, Grandpa won’t be able to get treated.
And she’s grown up now. She can’t always need mommy to be with her.
"Chuchu needs to go to kindergarten, right? Mommy, you forgot?"
