Chapter Fourteen: Demanding Benefits from Ji Han Song Yu: I Want Some Too!
Page 1/3
Speaking of the Lin family’s cousin, she never appeared in person. The text only briefly mentioned that she didn’t want to stay in this den of wolves nor be treated as a tool, so she gave up everything and went abroad. She was doing quite well overseas, truly a wise person! Even though people like her gave up a lot, they still had ample money. While she couldn’t maintain the lavish lifestyle of the past, daily expenses were no problem.
Lin Pingting was purely malicious and selfish. If it weren’t for Su Zhihan mentioning it, Lin Pingting would have almost forgotten about this cousin. Her uncle and aunt had passed away early, and this cousin was raised alongside her. Later, after the aunt’s incident, the cousin went abroad, initially said to study, but then contact was lost. At the time, the parents were furious, calling her an ungrateful wretch.
Looking at Su Zhihan’s indifferent expression, Lin Pingting truly didn’t know how she came to know all these things. Su Zhihan seemed to read her thoughts and said, “If you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it yourself. You better watch yourself.” Lin Pingting and the things she brought were sent out together.
After sending Lin Pingting away, Madam Ji patted her chest, still a bit frightened. “My goodness, so terrifying! To be this vicious at such a young age, my judgment was really poor before!” Song Yuxin’s feelings were extremely complicated. This drama was quite entertaining, but hearing about these matters was truly distressing, especially the Lin family aunt’s story—a woman sacrificed by the family.
After a cup of tea, Madam Ji felt a bit better. Compared to Lin Pingting, Song Miaoke didn’t seem so bad. Although petty, these things were minor compared to character and morality. “Ah, with Lin Pingting as a contrast, Song Miaoke actually looks much better.” Still, Madam Ji was reluctant to accept it. Her excellent son had ended up with such a petty person, not very beautiful, with a poor background, and even worse in terms of knowledge. Sigh—what a headache!
Su Zhihan and Song Yuxin sat quietly nearby, not daring to interrupt. This was a private family matter—the mother-son and mother-in-law relationships—which they had no right to interfere with. Moreover, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has always been the most complicated within a family.

However, thanks to Lin Pingting’s contrast, Song Miaoke indirectly gained some goodwill, which was a positive. After fretting for a while, Madam Ji soon regained her spirits. She decided not to worry about Song Miaoke for now, mainly because she couldn’t do anything about it. Her current focus was to help Aunt Lin escape that living hell.
Su Zhihan and Song Yuxin wholeheartedly agreed with Madam Ji’s decision. With Madam Ji’s help, Aunt Lin’s escape was only a matter of time. After leaving the old Ji family mansion, Su Zhihan asked Song Yuxin to tell Ji Han everything that had happened there, especially the part that indirectly boosted goodwill.
Being the key person who exposed Lin Pingting’s true nature, she deserved some benefits. Song Yuxin made a call while puzzled: “Don’t you have Ji Han’s contact? Why don’t you talk to him yourself?” Su Zhihan smiled shyly. “I’m embarrassed. Who asks directly for favors? You need a middleman.” “Help me say good things about me, praise me a lot. If I get enough benefits, I’ll treat you to a nice meal.”
Song Yuxin was stunned by her stinginess. “Just a meal? Are you serious?” And she was shy? The word “shy” coming from her was like the sun rising in the west. Su Zhihan said, “Two meals! That’s enough! Don’t be greedy; learn to be content!” Song Yuxin thought, who’s asking for a favor now? She had never met someone so double-faced until now.
When Ji Han saw the call from Song Yuxin, he answered without hesitation. The two brothers chatted briefly, then got to the point. Especially Song Yuxin, who praised Su Zhihan endlessly with different words. Ji Han immediately understood what was going on.
“Is Su Zhihan beside you? Ask her what she wants. Stop beating around the bush and wasting my time.” Song Yuxin glanced at Su Zhihan, who quickly signaled she didn’t want to take the call but whispered her request. Song Yuxin said, “She said she’s too embarrassed to speak to you herself and asked me to relay that you owe her one.”
Ji Han was silent for three seconds. “Tell her the request can’t be too much; she can’t covet my position.”

Hearing that, Su Zhihan snatched the phone: “Who’s coveting your position? With your routine of waking before the rooster and sleeping later than a dog, still paying your dues at night, I wouldn’t want it even if you gave it to me.”
Song Yuxin quickly covered her mouth, panicked: “Hey! That crossed the line! No speeding on my phone calls!”
Ji Han clutched his chest, feeling that familiar dull ache. This guy’s mouth was like poison. Wasn’t she afraid of poisoning herself while licking her lips?
Without waiting for a reply, Su Zhihan declared her decision: “It’s a deal—you owe me one favor, and I’m keeping track.” “It’s still early; you keep working. Song Yuxin and I are going out to have fun. Bye!”
Watching Su Zhihan hang up decisively, Song Yuxin said, “Um, I haven’t even said my request yet. I indirectly helped too, so I want him to owe me one as well. Why hang up so fast?”
Su Zhihan replied, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Wait, I’ll call again. This time I’ll be the middleman and praise you to the skies!”
Song Yuxin hurriedly grabbed her phone. “Forget it, I’m afraid Ji Han will die of anger if we try again.” Lately, Ji Han’s life seemed to be getting worse.
At that moment, Ji Han sat in his office, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Why was he stuck at work while those two could roam around freely? Didn’t Song Yuxin manage the whole company just like him? Wasn’t Su Zhihan a busy doctor?
Looking at the unfinished tasks on his desk, Ji Han surprisingly cursed. The most infuriating thing was that Su Zhihan and Song Yuxin had sent him numerous photos of their outings. Seeing the delicious food in the pictures, Ji Han’s stomach growled.
With some time left before leaving work, he messaged Miaoke to vent, hoping to get some perks for himself. Song Miaoke saw his pitiful message, happily snapped a photo and sent it back, adding, “I’m out too. Zhihan specially came to pick me up. We’ll eat out tonight, so you’re on your own for dinner.”
Ji Han’s face darkened immediately: “#@”
