Chapter 26: Being cared for, crying out the grievances of two lifetimes

That night, Jiang Haitang saw Lu Liangchen as soon as she left the cafeteria.

Lu Liangchen leaned against a tree trunk, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, and looked towards the cafeteria from time to time.

Thinking of Lu Liangchen holding her hand before, her face couldn't help but get hot.

After a quick greeting, Jiang Haitang lowered her head and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Lu Liangchen.

"Director Lu, do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Haitang forced a fake smile and greeted him.

Lu Liangchen was so angry that he laughed at the fake look of the person in front of him.

"You promised to help me, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten!" Jiang Haitang stammered, her voice as soft as a mosquito.

That night after holding hands, she didn't dream of reading, but instead dreamed of Lu Liangchen.

She seemed to have developed an inappropriate attachment to Lu Liangchen.

"Then why are you hiding from me?"

"Director Lu, I still have to go to work..."

Jiang Haitang was interrupted by Lu Liangchen before she could finish her words.

"Little liar, I know you have tomorrow off."

The tone was so intimate that Jiang Haitang couldn't help but have more romantic thoughts.

"But……"

How could Lu Liangchen let her continue to refuse?

"The baby will be here tomorrow night, and there are things missing from the house. We have to prepare everything before the baby arrives. We can't let the baby down."

Lu Liangchen acted helpless.

Although she knew that the person in front of her was pretending, she still felt soft-hearted when she heard about the child Jiang Haitang.

In my previous life, I was not a mother, but I loved children very much. At one point, when I saw other people’s children, I wanted to take them home.

"Then I'll wait for you at the east gate of the factory at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, okay?"

There are too many people in the factory and they are gossipy, which has a bad influence, so it’s better to meet outside.

"OK."

Jiang Haitang was worried that someone would see her talking to Lu Liangchen alone, so she hurried to leave.

Lu Liangchen blocked the road and wouldn't let her go.

"Director Lu, it's not good if we get too close."

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Liangchen looked like the boss.

"There's always trouble around a widow, Director Lu, it will affect you." Jiang Haitang reminded awkwardly, with a blush on her face.

Lu Liangchen frowned and said distressedly: "Don't say that about yourself, you are not a widow."

"Yes, my man is not dead, but he doesn't want me anymore. I have been abandoned and am worse than a widow." Jiang Haitang lowered her eyes.

She had heard the gossip these days.

There was never a shortage of gossipers in the factory. Some said bad things about the Li family, some blamed the Liang family, and of course there were those who talked about her shortcomings.

The topic of a divorced woman is enough for people to talk about for a long time.

"It's not you who was abandoned, it's you who abandoned someone who is not worthy. Jiang Haitang, you must believe in yourself."

Jiang Haitang couldn't believe what she heard. Director Lu said, "It wasn't her who was abandoned? It was she who abandoned the unworthy person!"

It was the first time someone was so sure of her choice.

"Director Lu, thank you. I will be a better person in the future."

"I believe you are an excellent girl!" Lu Liangchen continued to encourage.

"This is a gift for you, to celebrate finding yourself again and to thank you for helping me tomorrow."

Lu Liangchen stuffed a bulging small cloth bag into Jiang Haitang's hand, turned around and strode away.

Jiang Haitang suddenly found something in her hand and hurriedly shouted, "Director Lu, I don't want it!"

"If you don't want it, just throw it away. I don't have any use for women's things."

Jiang Haitang doesn't have the habit of throwing things away casually, so she can only hold them in her hands.

The man strode away, leaving her with only his back, but made her feel warm, and her long-dried heart felt moistened.

This man has been taking care of her, helping her go from the cold winter to the warm spring and start a new life.

She murmured softly, "Why are you so good to me? I will be greedy for the warmth you give me! I will be reluctant to let go, what should I do?"

Thinking that this rare warmth will be lost in the near future, I feel aggrieved.

After being reborn, the strength she had painstakingly maintained completely collapsed at this moment.

Unable to hold back the tears that rolled down her cheeks, one drop at a time at first, and then like a flood bursting through a dam.

She hid in a small wood nearby and cried silently, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of two lifetimes.

After crying for a long time, her emotions gradually calmed down.

Looking at the cold crescent moon in the sky, Jiang Haitang swore that this was the last time she would cry for an unworthy grievance!

When I returned to the dormitory, the other people were not there. They were all working night shifts this week and would not be back until midnight.

Jiang Haitang sat down in front of the table and placed the small bag she was holding tightly in her hand on the table.

The small package was made of a man's handkerchief tied in a knot. When it was carefully opened, the handkerchief contained a jar of lotion, a jar of vanishing cream, and a bottle of clam oil.

Just like what Director Lu said, it is really something for women.

The skin care products that she had never used in her two lives were suddenly handed to her by a man.

But can she accept it?

Does she deserve it?

Even if I want to buy something for him tomorrow, I can't accept such an expensive gift.

Jiang Haitang felt sad and inferior. Even though she had told herself countless times that it was not her fault, those rumors still affected her.

Will you return these things tomorrow?

After much deliberation, she finally decided not to return it.

The way to get along with Director Lu is to accept his kindness and buy him a suitable gift in return.

Jiang Haitang put the skin care products aside, took the book Lu Liangchen gave her and read it carefully.

After watching for more than an hour, Jiang Haitang felt sore in his back and stood up to move around.

She lamented that reading in the real world was tiring and not as effective as reading in a dream.

Yes, reading and studying in dreams.

This new skill came after I met that strange kid.

Several nights Jiang Haitang dreamed that she was studying in the study room of someone who looked like Professor Gu and Professor Shu.

The books I read in my dreams seemed to be imprinted in my mind, clear and firm.

Jiang Haitang was worried that he would forget what he learned over time, so he had been using his free time to write down the contents of those books and make them into small booklets.

With this accumulation of knowledge, Jiang Haitang feels that his understanding of textile science has become more in-depth.

Combining the knowledge she learned in her previous life, as long as the entrance examination paper is not too difficult, she will be able to do very well.

When she becomes a formal employee, she will find opportunities to visit Professor Gu and Professor Shu.

When washing up at night, Jiang Haitang washed her handkerchief and hung it on the bedside.

I won’t return the skin care products, but it’s inappropriate to keep this used handkerchief, so I still have to return it.

Jiang Haitang carefully picked up the moisturizer, gently opened the lid, put it to the tip of her nose and took a light sniff. The fragrance was intoxicating.

She carefully picked out a small amount with her fingernails and applied it to her face.

The tense skin instantly became much warmer.

She opened the clam oil again and rubbed her hands.

Her hands are very rough. Director Lu gave her these because he must have noticed that her hands were rough and cracked, right?

This man is good, but he is not someone she can get close to.
