"Xiao Jiang, you were very good in school, why haven't you achieved anything yet?"

Ji Lihua said it calmly and naturally.

She didn't mean to be disparaging, she just felt very confused and wanted an answer.

Xiao Jiang didn't expect the topic to change so drastically. He didn't know how to answer and was stunned for a while.

He looked at Ji Lihua's expression and said slowly, "Maybe this is fate."

Ji Lihua never believed in fate, she only believed that everything is in the hands of man.

She didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with Xiao Jiang's answer. In short, she felt no emotion at all.

It was like I knew he wouldn't tell the truth!

The porcelain spoon stirred slowly in the bowl, making occasional clash sounds.

Every sound was like a gust of wind, and Xiao Jiang was like a juggler walking on a tightrope. If the wind was a little stronger, he would fall down.

As time passed silently, Xiao Jiang was also suffering in his heart.

But Ji Lihua suddenly stopped talking, which made him start to get scared.

Ji Lihua was the person he had chosen after careful consideration. If her value was zero, wouldn't he be at a huge loss?

He asked nervously, "Lihua, how are my work arrangements going?"

The stirring stopped, and Ji Lihua said calmly, "I'm fired."

She stared at Xiao Jiang lazily, as if it was unimportant to her.

But this is a huge matter for Xiao Jiang.

He was even more excited than Ji Lihua: "Lihua, what's going on? If I remember correctly, you're not an ordinary employee. How can they fire you just like that?"

"Lihua, are you kidding me?"

"Are you still angry about what happened yesterday? I'm sorry, okay? Let's not quarrel anymore?"

Shocked, he reached across the table and grabbed Ji Lihua's hand tightly.

He hoped to hear from Ji Lihua that she was joking with him and not serious.

Otherwise, wouldn't all his planning be in vain?

Ji Lihua's hand was painful when it was held, but compared to the pain in her heart, it was still bearable.

She struggled, raised her other hand and peeled Xiao Jiang's fingers off her hand one by one.

He said calmly, "I'm not lying to you. The president of our company is the man with extraordinary temperament whom we met last night."

"He's Jiu's childhood sweetheart. Do you think he'll let me continue working there?"

"It's even possible that there won't be a place for me in this city, and that includes you, of course!!"

Xiao Jiang was confused by the series of news.

What do you mean there is no place for them in this city?

Could it be that all his planning for so long was in vain in the end?

Ji Lihua saw disappointment and fear in his eyes, and held his hand, tentatively saying:

"If you want, we can go back to our hometown and start our own business. Rural areas are developing very well now.

Besides, we are all top students, and I believe that with our talents we can definitely achieve something."

She was not sure whether Xiao Jiang would agree, but she needed his attitude. If he loved her, he would agree, but if he had other intentions, he would definitely find an excuse to refuse.

Xiao Jiang shook off Ji Lihua's hand and stood up suddenly. The chair behind him was knocked to the ground by his huge movement.

Following the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Xiao Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I just remembered that I have something else to do. I won't stay at your house anymore. See you next time."

He fled in a hurry without waiting for Ji Lihua to say anything to keep him.

In fact, the moment Xiao Jiang stood up, Ji Lihua knew his choice. She didn't intend to say anything to keep him, but she just felt that her vision was wrong.

Looking at the door that opened and closed again, Ji Lihua laughed softly.

With tear-blurred eyes, she looked at the carefully prepared food on the table, her nose felt sore, and she covered her face and burst into tears.

She took the chopsticks and ate the hot food mouthful by mouthful with tears in her eyes.

Every dish was so delicious. This was the first time in her life that someone had been so nice to her. Although it was fake, at least when doing this, the person Xiao Jiang wanted to please was her, Ji Lihua!

She didn't want to waste so much food, so even though she felt sick, she kept eating until she had eaten all the food.

After Xiao Jiang left Ji Lihua's house, he found a cheap hotel to stay for a few days.

Lying on the not very clean bed, he thought about it and took out his cell phone to call Jiu.

The ring had just rang twice when the person on the other end pressed the answer button.

He was delighted: Jiu must still care about me, that's why he answered the phone so anxiously.

This is how love manifests!

Xiao Jiang was proud for a moment, then pretended to be wronged and said, "Xiao Jiuer, I was wrong. I found that I still love you the most. I miss you so much. Can you come find me?"

Ah Jiu sneered. She really didn't expect that there would be someone in the world who could be so shameless. He had clearly hurt and deceived her, yet he could act so nonchalant.

Does this mean she must have him?

Without showing any mercy, he said, "Sir, did you call the wrong number? I don't know you."

"And my boyfriend's last name is Shi. Is that your last name?"

"Xiao Jiuer..."

"Don't shout, I find it disgusting. If my boyfriend hears me, I'll just give him a little lesson, but throwing you into the sea to feed the sharks will be a big deal. So for your safety, it's better not to try to get involved with random people."
