Liu Xiu's face became increasingly low as everyone talked about her. Xia Jin looked at her like this and thought, "It turns out she also has her dignity to protect."

However, Liu Xiu hadn't achieved her purpose for coming here today, so how could she leave so easily? Seeing that she wanted to continue, Xia Jin took a step forward, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "If you make trouble again, I will tell everyone in your factory about your abuse of me. Anyway, I have money now, and I can print it in the newspaper and let everyone in An County know about the Xia family's troubles."

"And go back and tell Old Master Xia that if he still wants Xia Qingqing to marry Deputy Director Luo peacefully, then he should stay home and don't bother me. Okay, get out of here. Don't let me see you here again."

After hearing this, Liu Xiu didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. He pulled his two children out of the crowd and fled.

As people left, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, those who were paying continued to queue up to pay, and those who were choosing their dishes continued to choose their dishes, as if nothing had happened just now.

Sister Wang came over to comfort Xia Jin. Xia Jin took the tissue he handed her and shook her head, saying that she was fine. After wiping away her tears, Xia Jin said to the customers in the store, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble to everyone today. I'm very sorry to have wasted everyone's time. To express my apology, I'm going to give everyone who ate in the store a 20% discount."

"Little boss, you are so generous."

"Thank you, Boss Xia."

"Little boss, don't be sad for this kind of person. It's not worth it."

Xia Jin said embarrassedly: "Okay, thank you everyone, I'm leaving first, everyone enjoy your meal."

"Goodbye, little boss."

Xia Jin went to Du Ji Noodle House and ordered a bowl of noodles. After eating, she didn't go back to the store. Instead, she went to the department store to buy some random things. Finally, her mood improved. Xia Jin returned home with the clothes and food she bought. Xia Jin put the things on the table in the living room and went back to her room to rest.

When Gu Jingmo returned home in the afternoon, he saw the large bag of things on the table. Gu Jingmo walked to Xia Jin's door, knocked on it, and said, "Why did you buy so many things?"

Xia Jin came out of the room and said, "I bought it because it looked good. Why do you care about me?"

Gu Jingmo looked at Xia Jin's slightly swollen eyelids and said angrily, "You're crying. Who bullied you?"

Xia Jin sat on the sofa and smiled, saying, "No one bullies me. Who can bully me? I'm so powerful."

Gu Jingmo looked at Xia Jin and said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's so ugly."

Xia Jin didn't say anything, concentrating on fiddling with the things she bought that morning. Gu Jingmo stared at Xia Jin, his dark eyes deep and bottomless, staring at her so tightly that he seemed to want to stare a hole through her.

Xia Jin couldn't stand the look and said helplessly, "Don't look at me anymore. My mother is here to see me."

Gu Jingmo finally withdrew his gaze, walked over to Xia Jin and sat down and said, "Why did she come to you? Did she hit you?"

Xia Jin said: "Don't be nervous, I have nothing to do with her a long time ago. I cried only because I had to pretend to be pitiful in front of so many people. Only in this way could I get rid of her."

Gu Jingmo said: "Why did she come to you? To ask for money."

Xia Jin said, "Well, seeing that I had become successful, she came to me to ask for money, but I didn't give her any. I even scared her. Don't worry, she won't come to me again in the near future."

Gu Jingmo said expressionlessly: "Not enough, she bullied you, I will help you teach them a lesson."

Xia Jin smiled and said, "No, I can do it myself. Don't interfere. I have to avenge myself."

Gu Jingmo's lips were pressed into a straight line, making him look even more fierce. However, although he was unwilling, he still said, "If you can't handle it, come to me and I will help you."

Xia Jin said expressionlessly: "Gu Jingmo, you don't have to be so nice to me. If you feel that I saved you and you want to repay me, then just give me some money when you leave. Don't feel that you owe me."

Gu Jingmo said seriously: "I'm helping you not because you saved me, but because I..."

"Stop talking. I'm tired and need to rest. And you should move out tomorrow." Xia Jin suddenly stood up to interrupt Gu Jingmo and walked towards the bedroom. When passing by Gu Jingmo, Gu Jingmo grabbed her wrist. Xia Jin looked back and saw Gu Jingmo's brows were furrowed, with a sharp light in his eyes.

Xia Jin felt that the surroundings were becoming increasingly oppressive. Xia Jin wanted to break free from the big hand that was holding her wrist, but she couldn't.

Gu Jingmo said coldly: "Xia Jin, you know it, right?" His usually deep and magnetic voice now sounded a bit oppressive to Xia Jin.

Xia Jin continued to play dumb and said, "What do you know? I know nothing. Gu Jingmo, let me go."

Gu Jingmo pulled Xia Jin into his arms. Xia Jin now sat on his lap. Looking at the stubborn Xia Jin, Gu Jingmo spoke again, "You know I like you, right?"

Xia Jin couldn't break free, so he said in a desperate tone, "Yes, I know. Now it's okay, can you let me down?"

Gu Jingmo chuckled softly and said, "No, you haven't told me whether you like me or not."

Xia Jin said calmly: "No. Gu Jingmo, please don't like me anymore. I'm not suitable for you."

Xia Jin actually has a crush on Gu Jingmo. He's handsome, has a good figure, and is capable. Who wouldn't be tempted? In fact, Xia Jin was happy and surprised when she knew Gu Jingmo liked her, but she was not suitable for him.

Xia Jin was initially delighted by Gu Jingmo's confession, then terrified. She feared his love had an expiration date. It was fine for someone like Xia Jin, who had never received love, but once she did, she didn't know what would become of her when she lost it. To avoid future pain, Xia Jin decided from the day she was reborn not to accept love easily.

Xia Jin is a person who lacks love. In her previous life, she could work hard for the Xia family all her life and become their stepping stone in order to get her mother's love.

In this life, she left the Xia family and no longer expected to be loved, but deep down she still hoped to be loved, she hoped someone would love her. At the same time, when she received love, she would feel panic, because she was afraid that one day this love would also have a purpose like the previous one.

It is better to never have something than to get it and then lose it, so Xia Jin rejected Gu Jingmo, not because he was not good enough, but because Xia Jin was afraid of losing.

Gu Jingmo let go of Xia Jin and said, "There is no such thing as suitable or unsuitable. As long as I like it, it is suitable for me. Please don't rush to reject me, okay?"

Xia Jin said to Gu Jingmo, "I'm sorry." Then she quickly ran back to the room and closed the door.
