Looking at Jiang Yiran's extremely embarrassed expression, Jiang Qiaoqiao just wanted to laugh.

The Qin family has bad habits; they smack their lips while eating and pick their toes in public. They have no understanding of etiquette at all.

In her past life, after her business gradually grew, she spent a lot of money to hire someone to teach Qin Haiyang social etiquette, so that Qin Haiyang could talk and laugh with those big shots in the business world in a proper manner.

However, back then, Qin Haiyang didn't need to pay attention to these things when he was with Xia Yuntao.

When Xia Yuntao met Qin Haiyang, Qin Haiyang was just a peasant.

After rescuing Xia Yuntao, Qin Haiyang took him directly home. In his previous life, the first person Xia Yuntao met was the real Qin Haiyang, so no matter how many bad habits Qin Haiyang had, it wouldn't damage Xia Yuntao's impression of him.

But this life is different.

From the very beginning, Jiang Yiran presented Qin Haiyang as a business genius from a poor background to Xia Yuntao.

As a result, Qin Haiyang not only made many mistakes in his speech, but also failed at the most basic social etiquette. What will Xia Yuntao think?

Jiang Yiran was so angry that her face turned black and her eyes reddened.

She felt like everyone at the table was laughing at her.

Especially Jiang Qiaoqiao and Yu Hanfei, although they didn't look at her, she knew they must be laughing their heads off inside.

Considering her image and with Jiang Yongchang present, Jiang Yiran didn't dare to go too crazy.

They could only lower their heads and obediently continue eating.

Qin Haiyang felt that his speech and performance in front of Xia Yuntao today were quite good. Xia Yuntao listened to him with a smile and looked at him with appreciation.

He was puzzled as to what Jiang Yiran was still dissatisfied with.

Now that Jiang Yiran has stopped talking, he continues eating.

Such delicious food, he might only get to eat it once in his life. If he doesn't eat more, he'll be missing out big time.

At the dinner table later, apart from Xia Yuntao politely toasting Jiang Yongchang, Huo Beixiao, and Jiang Qiaoqiao to express his gratitude, no one spoke.

After finishing the meal, about a third of the food was left.

Qin Haiyang had been eyeing the leftovers for a while, and seeing that no one was packing them up, he quickly said, "It's such a waste to leave so much food. Ranran, let's pack it up and take it back for Mom and Dad to try."

Jiang Yiran felt utterly humiliated, her face turning pale and then red.

Xia Yuntao laughed and said, "Extravagance is indeed not a good habit. Xiao Li, go and call the waiter to pack up the leftovers and take them back to Comrade Qin."

Qin Haiyang immediately felt that Xia Yuntao's words were an expression of appreciation for him, and also a way of sharing his views with Xia Yuntao.

She even said that there was no need to trouble Xiao Li and the waiter; Jiang Yiran could handle this kind of thing. She added that women should do this kind of logistical work, serving men and taking care of the elderly and children.

His arrogant tone and contempt for women made Xia Yuntao's polite smile crumble.

"Comrade Qin, you're wrong about that. A great man once said that women hold up half the sky, and no one is born to serve others. A family is not just a woman's family, nor is it solely a woman's responsibility."

Perhaps not wanting to be bothered by Qin Haiyang and Jiang Yiran any longer, Xia Yuntao put on a stern face and said, "Comrade Qin, you don't need to contact me anymore. Your business philosophy and outlook on life are incompatible with mine. No matter how good the future prospects of the business you talk about are, there is no possibility of cooperation between us."

After Xia Yuntao finished speaking, he took his assistant and bid farewell to everyone.

Qin Haiyang was still feeling smug when Xia Yuntao suddenly rejected him firmly, and he was still a little taken aback.

Jiang Yiran's legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. "It's all over, everything's over..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's cold gaze swept over Jiang Yiran, and she and Huo Beixiao said goodbye to Jiang Yongchang and Yu Hanfei.

Huo Beixiao glanced at Jiang Yiran, the guilt in his heart still surging up uncontrollably, but he forced himself to turn his face away and left with Jiang Qiaoqiao.

If his dream was truly a past life of him and Jiang Yiran.

Even if Jiang Yiran's tragic end in her previous life was caused by him.

But in this life, Jiang Yiran is having a bad time, entirely because of her own actions.

"Do you still feel sorry for Jiang Yiran?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked Huo Beixiao after the two had walked away.

"Yes, it's an emotion I can't control, but I'll try my best to control it," Huo Beixiao said honestly.

Jiang Qiaoqiao opened her mouth. In fact, several times, she wanted to tell Huo Beixiao that the reason Jiang Yiran was executed in her previous life was not because she resisted her abusive second husband, but because she killed her!

But each time, she held back.

She must keep her rebirth a secret from everyone.

But perhaps Jiang Yiran, who is also a reborn person, has already seen it.

On the other side.

With Jiang Yongchang around, Qin Haiyang dared not vent his anger at the out-of-control Jiang Yiran.

He could only hold Jiang Yiran and coax her gently, "Ranran, don't get agitated. Listen to me, although the man surnamed Xia is unwilling to invest in us, didn't you say that I originally made my fortune by raising ducks and selling duck products? Tomorrow we'll cancel our rented house, transfer the supermarket, and go back to Qin Family Village. Our whole family will raise more ducks and research how to make duck products taste even better. As long as we work together, we're sure we can make a good life."

After hearing Qin Haiyang's words, Jiang Yiran calmed down a little.

She began to wonder why her past life was so different from this one.

Could it be that after she was reborn, she married Qin Haiyang and stopped him from staying in the countryside to raise ducks, thus causing a butterfly effect and changing Qin Haiyang's life?
