Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 419 - 416: Love Expenses Settlement

Han Qingxue wasn’t in a great mood. After thanking Lin Wanwan for her concern, she stopped talking and focused intently on her work.

Lin Wanwan sensitively noticed a change in Han Qingxue. As a Northeast girl, she used to bring the humor of a comedian and was the joy of the company.

But today, she seemed a bit lifeless, even the sparkle in her eyes was dimmed.

Could it be the recovery after surgery wasn’t optimistic, affecting her future fertility?

So during lunch, Lin Wanwan organized a gathering, inviting the employees to Times Square next door for a buffet.

One reason was to enhance the camaraderie among the staff, and naturally, the other was to check on Han Qingxue’s situation.

During the meal, Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Xiao Han, I know a bit of traditional Chinese medicine. How are you now? How about I check your pulse to see how your recovery is going?"

Han Qingxue declined with low spirits, "No need, Boss. I went for a follow-up check, and the doctor said I’m recovering quite well."

"Oh, that’s good."

Everyone sensed Han Qingxue’s gloom during the meal, thinking perhaps her body hadn’t fully recovered.

Zhou the accountant, being blunt, asked many questions. Meanwhile, Lin Wanwan shielded the fact Han Qingxue wanted to keep hidden, but Zhou asked directly and got the answer.

"Oh dear, was it an ectopic pregnancy surgery? Then how can such short rest be enough? This is like a miscarriage situation, you must do a proper confinement, avoid cold foods. Take it easy on the salmon, don’t be careless," advised Zhou once she knew the facts.

Han Qingxue forced a smile and thanked her concern, "I’m fine, I’m young."

"Even the young need to cherish their bodies; otherwise, you’ll regret it when you’re older. You youngsters are so careless. Is your boyfriend picking you up after work now?"

Han Qingxue’s eyes moistened for a moment, quickly concealed, she shook her head and didn’t say more.

On the walk back to the company, Gu Jingyu quietly moved close to Lin Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, this morning in the bathroom, I accidentally overheard Xiao Han’s call; she broke up with her boyfriend."

"Oh, a heartbreak, huh."

Lin Wanwan was a bit surprised, yet it wasn’t that unexpected. Seeing her boyfriend’s behavior on the night of Han Qingxue’s surgery, a breakup seemed inevitable.

A person not responsible, not reliable, why keep him for marriage?

However, Han Qingxue’s mood was so down now, probably she was reluctant to let go?

Ah, the passionate men and women in this world!

As Lin Wanwan was sighing, Han Qingxue’s phone suddenly rang. She hesitated before answering without avoiding.

"What? Is there something else?"

The soundproofing of Han Qingxue’s phone wasn’t great, the voice from the other end came through clearly enough for Lin Wanwan and the people nearby to hear.

"Qingxue, is there really no way for us to go back? You might have trouble having kids in the future; let me continue to take responsibility."

Han Qingxue sneered coldly, "What happens to me later is none of your concern, what responsibility can you possibly carry?"

The other side tried some sweet-talking to win her back, but Han Qingxue firmly rejected.

Finally, the other end abruptly said, "Alright, since that’s the case, during our three years of dating and living together, pay me back the money I spent on you and the rent for living together. I’ll send you the bill on WeChat."

After those words, the call was ended abruptly, leaving Han Qingxue stunned by his shamelessness.

Before he said that, even though Han Qingxue was verbally resolute about breaking up, Lin Wanwan and others could actually see from her expression that she was already wavering.

But after the call, Han Qingxue’s face completely changed. She silently opened WeChat on her phone and indeed received a few pages of meticulously handwritten expense records from her boyfriend Wu Feiyue.

Entries included small snacks from college days to expenses for hotel stays and gifts during holidays, all recorded clearly.

After reading the details, Han Qingxue angrily laughed and cursed aloud in vulgar terms.

It really takes tearing the face apart to truly know if the person beside you is human or ghost.

She actually stayed with such a person for three years, entirely misplaced her feelings!

Han Qingxue couldn’t fathom how beneath his tall exterior, there was such a calculating face, utterly repugnant!

She hurried a few steps ahead, caught up with Zhou the accountant, and quietly asked, "Zhou, if I took a leave of twelve days this time, how much of the salary would be deducted?"

Even though Han Qingxue lowered her voice when asking, everyone in the group was concerned with her reaction, thus they heard it clearly too, but tacitly pretended not to, maintaining silence.

Zhou the accountant glanced at Lin Wanwan, replied, "Let me check the attendance sheet when I return and I’ll tell you."

"Okay, thank you Zhou."

"No worries."

Upon returning to the company, Zhou followed Lin Wanwan into the manager’s office and bluntly asked how to handle Han Qingxue’s sick leave.

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, knowing this must be distinguished between public and private matters, said, "Please check the labor law provisions, and we’ll follow whatever the legal regulations dictate."

Zhou replied, "Oh, I’ve checked. For continuous service less than two years, it’s paid at 60% of the current salary. Our company just established this year, everyone’s service length is less than a year, so shall we pay her at 60% of her basic salary?"

"Yes, alright, let’s handle it that way."

Not long after Zhou exited, Han Qingxue was called into the finance room.

Shortly afterward, Lin Wanwan heard a knock on her office door.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Han Qingxue walked in, a little embarrassed, she spoke to Lin Wanwan, "Boss, can I advance three months of salary?"

Lin Wanwan put down the rare medical text in her hand, motioning her to close the door and said, "Sit."

Han Qingxue sat down in the chair in front of Lin Wanwan’s desk, looking at Lin Wanwan with a hint of hope on her face.

Lin Wanwan continued, "Did something happen? Normally, the company cannot set such an advance precedent."

Han Qingxue lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, then looked up, "My ex-boyfriend wants me to repay money, right now I don’t have that much, and I can’t ask my mom, so I’m wondering if the company can advance it."

Lin Wanwan understood what money she was referring to but still asked, "What money is he asking you to repay?"

Han Qingxue didn’t attempt to hide it, directly repeating what her ex-boyfriend had said earlier on the phone.

Lin Wanwan said, "Can you show me the details he sent over?"

Without hesitation, Han Qingxue handed over her phone, Lin Wanwan quickly scanned it, then returned the phone and said, "There are many unreasonable expenses in it, you can refuse. Xiao Han, don’t give people the chance to take an inch when given a foot. Our company has collaboration with a legal firm, if needed, you might consult them first before considering if you should repay."
