Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.
Her storyline began ...
Chapter 691: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Gu Heng came to pick up his wife home. Dong Yan had called him from a public phone before and asked him to pick her up at the cafe.
I didn't expect to see Jiang Xia.
Although I only saw her getting on the car from a distance, it was still an unexpected surprise.
Dong Yan saw Gu Heng’s car and came out with He Yun.
He Yun smiled and said, "What is Gu Heng looking at?"
Gu Heng looked away and met Dong Yan's sharp eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said nonchalantly, "I think I saw Xiaoyue's teacher."
His wife didn't know about Jiang Xia's situation, and he absolutely couldn't let her know. He didn't want to bring trouble to Jiang Xia.
He Yun: "Are you talking about the people in the jeep in front?"
"Well. Get in the car! It looks like it's going to snow." Gu Heng abruptly changed the subject.
The two got in the car, and He Yun said to Gu Heng: "Ayan and I want to open a clothing store together. Gu Heng, you know a lot of people, can you help us find a shop to rent?"
Gu Heng was a little surprised because Dong Yan had never mentioned to him about opening a clothing store.
He asked, "Why do you suddenly want to open a clothing store?"
"When I see Jiang Xia, I feel so poor. I can't afford to buy my daughter some nice clothes or a good watch. I want to make money. I don't want to hear Yueyue talk about what watch Jiang Xia is wearing and what clothes she is wearing every day, and then I can't afford to buy her a watch."
“…”
Gu Heng felt a little guilty. He recently bought a new watch and planned to give it to Jiang Xia on New Year's Day. "I'll keep an eye on it."
He Yun: "Well, why are you poor people with stable jobs? You have no worries about food and clothing, and your job is respectable! Only a shopping mall attendant like me would want to do some business and make some money. If my job was as respectable and easy as yours, I wouldn't think of going out on my own."
Actually, it was not the case. She was used to being in shopping malls and felt that she could make a lot of money by opening a store. Moreover, she received news that cloth coupons would be cancelled soon, so she thought it would be a good idea to open a clothing store.
Dong Yan did not bring Jiang Xia up anymore. She did not dare to go too far. Jiang Xia's identity as Gu Heng's illegitimate daughter was like a bomb wrapped in a layer of thin paper.
She was afraid that if the secret was exposed, her family would be torn apart.
She ignored Gu Heng and only discussed with He Yun how to open a clothing store.
*As soon as Jiang Xia and the other two returned home, the first snow of the year began to fall from the sky.
Jiang Xia said excitedly: "I'll go get the kids and take them out to see the snow."
The three kids are at the age where they love to use their hands to explore the world, and she wants to see their expressions when they feel the ice and snow melting in their palms.
Jiang Xia hurried into the house, picked up the child and went out to the yard to watch the snow.
Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan also went to help hold the child after hearing this.
Zhou Chenglei had already returned. Hearing the sound of the car, he came out holding the two children and asked, "Have you found the shop?"
When the younger sister saw her mother kicking excitedly in her father’s arms, she laughed and rushed towards Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia hurriedly took over from his sister: "No."
Zhou Chenglei handed his daughter to her: "I'm free tomorrow, I'll go find her."
"Did you pass the test there?"
"It passed. There are still some minor issues that need to be adjusted. I am no longer needed."
Jiang Xia kissed his daughter and said, "Then let's go together."
Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan took their brother away from their grandmother.
She hugged her brother and quietly asked Jiang Dong: "Have you noticed that your brother-in-law is very good at talking and doing things?"
Jiang Dong: “…”
What did his brother-in-law say?
He also took her sister to find a shop today, why didn't she say that he was good at talking and doing things? Zhang Fuyan felt that Zhou Chenglei had one very good thing.
When he did work for Jiang Xia, he never said he was doing it for her.
Just like just now, he didn’t say “I’m free tomorrow, I’ll help you find it,” but “I’m free tomorrow, I’ll go find it.”
Although the results of these two sentences are the same, they give people different feelings.
Zhou Chenglei's words proved that he believed from the bottom of his heart that Jiang Xia's business was his business.
He engraved in his bones that husband and wife are one and inseparable.
Zhang Fuyan analyzed the situation for Jiang Dong.
Jiang Dong understood, and secretly told himself that he must do better than his brother-in-law in the future!
Zhou Chenglei handed his brother to Jiang Dong: "Hold him while I take pictures."
Jiang Xia held his sister in one hand, pointed at the snow falling from the sky and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, look! It's snowing! This is snow."
My sister opened her eyes wide, exactly the same as Jiang Xia's, and looked curiously at the snow falling from the sky.
Jiang Xia reached out to catch the snowflakes.
When the younger sister saw her mother reaching out her hand, she also waved her little arms, but she was unable to keep her arms still and open her palms to receive it like Jiang Xia did.
She still had no complete control over her limbs.
Jiang Xia saw it and shook hands with its pink and chubby little fist, then spread out his little palm to catch the snowflakes.
Snowflakes fluttered and fell around their hands, but never landed on their little palms.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jiang Xia coaxed her sister while pulling her little hand to catch the snowflakes.
Zhou Chenglei filmed this scene.
After waiting for a while, snowflakes finally fell on the little palm, two in a row.
Jiang Xia suddenly clenched his fists.
The child's palms were warm and the snowflakes melted instantly in his little palms.
My sister's expression froze for a moment.
Jiang Xia smiled.
The grandparents around me all laughed.
When my sister came to her senses, she seemed to find it very amusing. She waved her hands excitedly and tried to catch the snowflakes.
Zhou Chenglei captured these scenes.
Jiang Xia did not favor one over the other and took the older brother and the younger brother to play again.
The three children laughed out loud.
Grandma looked at the snow flying all over the sky and smiled, "I've never seen such heavy snow. When it's coldest in our hometown, only the mountains will have ice and rime."
Li Qiufeng: "It's so beautiful when it snows."
Jiang Dong: "Tomorrow the roofs, patios, and the whole world will be covered with a layer of snow, which will be even more beautiful, especially the Forbidden City. But you can't go into the Forbidden City. You can go to our school to see the snow, which is also beautiful."
A group of southern little potatoes played in the snow for half a day out of curiosity and joy before returning home to eat hot pot.
Today's happiness comes from the first snow and the steaming hot pot.
The next morning, Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Dong made snowmen for the children to continue the joy.
I have to say that the power of the housewives group is strong. At noon, Zhang Fuyan brought the news of the shop to Jiang Xia.
I made an appointment with the other party to visit the shop at 2:30 in the afternoon.
After waking up from a nap at noon, Jiang Dong drove them to see the shop and took the children out as well.
The shop was converted from an old house and was located near Fujing Street, with three floors in total.
The first floor is a shop, and the second and third floors are suites. It is a newly renovated house.
The owner plans to rent out the entire house.
Jiang Xia thought that if the location was good, it would not be a problem to rent the entire building.
When they arrived at the store, the owner was already there, negotiating rent with several tenants.
Jiang Xia knew all three tenants.
Wen Wan, Jiang Qian and Gu Heng.
Come on, make up for last night~
