University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
He had already seen people getting on this side, and slowly turned around, retracting one leg. Although he moved very slowly, everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing that he might slip and fall.
"Everyone's here? Then let's wait for the time to come." Gao Daxiong raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
“Boss Gao, you’re giving up so easily? I really didn’t expect that,” Man Aihong said.
"You little punk, you're not worthy to speak to me. Let Qin Xiaoyu come over here." Gao Daxiong directly slapped her in the face.
"What are you telling me?" Qin Xiaoyu took a step forward. She was wearing a coat, which was blown by the wind and clung tightly to her stomach, making her belly look even bigger.
"Boss Qin, you're a winner in life. Everything is yours, and everyone helps you. You're really good at making a living."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Gao. I've just been trying my best."
"Don't give me that crap. I have no grudge against Qi Si. What happened today is all because of you. You're the one who destroyed Qi Si's hotel." Gao Daxiong is about to die, yet he still tries to stir things up. He's truly vicious.
"You're talking nonsense! You have no grudge against me, so why are you trying to harm me? The sooner you die, the better. Do you think you can interfere with my relationship with my sister? Are you going to jump or not? If you don't, I'll throw you off!" Qi Si had a fiery temper and was easily provoked.
"Brother, why are you getting angry with him? Who does he think he is? Call the police and let them handle it. His death has nothing to do with us." Qin Xiaoyu said this, and the group followed her into the building.
"Call the police? Wouldn't that cause a huge commotion? Not many people know about it yet." K shook his head upon hearing this.
“I was just telling him; I still need to figure out a way. This man has always been greedy; I don’t believe he’s determined enough to die.”
"Why don't we go up and talk to him about money?" Qi Si asked hesitantly.
"Talk about money? Next time he wants money, he'll jump off a building. Can you stop him? It'll cause endless trouble." Qin Xiaoyu shook her head again. "What else does he have to hold onto that could soften his heart? Does he have children?"
"That child, don't even mention him. It's not even certain whose child he is. No wonder he's so attached to him." Ye Qiu's words revealed the truth.
"This person has lived a pretty miserable life; jumping off would save him the trouble."
"Oh right, he has a dog, a Labrador, I think, black!" A Lei reminded her. Qin Xiaoyu also remembered that Gao Daxiong would walk the dog whenever he was home and treated it extremely well. The two exchanged a glance and had an idea.
"You're kidding me. He doesn't even care about people, why would he care about a dog?" Qi Si laughed in exasperation.
"Let's take a gamble, Sister Ye. Find out where the dog is and bring it over." Qin Xiaoyu then turned to Qi Si, "Go get a hot pot table, set it up, and get ready to eat dog meat hot pot."
"This..." Everyone was a little confused. But Qin Xiaoyu's expression was serious, and she didn't seem to be joking.
Gao Daxiong had already moved both legs off the roof. His figure on the tall rooftop was as small as an ant, and he was completely unnoticed.
Ye Qiu was an all-knowing figure in the fashion street; there was nothing she couldn't find out. She quickly got a reply: Gao Daxiong had given the Labrador to a shop assistant and given him 5,000 yuan, saying it was for the dog's living expenses.
"He treats dogs better than people." Everyone was shocked; these days, five thousand yuan is enough to raise a child to adulthood.
"Give the shop assistant six thousand and buy the dog," Qin Xiaoyu instructed.
Qi Si now understood Qin Xiaoyu's idea and quickly directed the waiters to move the hot pot table upstairs.
Gao Daxiong noticed a noise behind him and turned around to look, but he was puzzled.
Suddenly the door opened, and the Labrador rushed up excitedly. It had already caught the scent of its owner along the way and was so excited it practically wagged its tail off.
Upon reaching the rooftop, it saw Gao Daxiong and barked softly twice in the direction of its owner, as if greeting him.
"Ah Huan! What are you doing bringing Ah Huan here?" Gao Daxiong was stunned when he saw Ah Huan, then realized something was wrong.
"It's windy on the rooftop, we'll eat hotpot while we wait for you to jump off." Qin Xiaoyu sat on a chair, wearing a thick fur shawl, not cold at all.
"Eat, what hot pot?" Gao Daxiong's upper and lower teeth chattered.
"Dog meat hot pot, very nourishing." Qi Si said, going over to look at the soup pot. The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the wind, and the soup pot was about to boil.
"Don't do anything rash, don't touch Ah Huan!" Gao Daxiong waved his hands frantically.
Ah Huan kept rushing forward, trying to get to her master's side, pleading and sobbing, extremely anxious.
Qi Si took the sack handed to him by his subordinate, aimed carefully, and tried to slip it over his head. Two young waiters quickly closed the sack. Terrified, Ah Huan let out a series of screams, and was kicked by a waiter, making her scream even more horribly.
"Don't touch my Ah Huan! If you hit me again, I'll jump!" Gao Daxiong threatened.
"What's the use of saying that? We didn't force you to jump. You came here wanting to jump yourself. You can jump now. If you jump, we'll have dog meat hot pot," Qin Xiaoyu said nonchalantly.
Qi Si waved his hand, and two waiters each held a stick as thick as a bowl. If they were to hit him, Ah Huan's brains would probably splatter.
"Don't move! What are your conditions? I'll agree!" Gao Daxiong pulled his other leg back as well.
"Do you want to take your dog and get lost?" Qin Xiaoyu asked coldly.
“I’ll take it with me. I won’t jump anymore. I’ll leave right away!” Gao Daxiong walked over, trembling. He had been sitting for a long time, and his legs were numb. He walked unsteadily.
"Alright then, don't say we didn't give you a way out. I'll have someone dump you and the dog in Hong Kong. How you survive there is up to you. Do you agree?"
"Agreed! I won't come back." Gao Daxiong finally reached the sack, knelt down with a thud, and hurriedly untied the ropes.
Ah Huan, now free, pounced on Gao Daxiong and began licking his face. Gao Daxiong, surprisingly, hugged him and burst into tears.
There was nothing interesting to watch anymore, so Qin Xiaoyu led them downstairs.
"Let him go? Girl, you're too soft-hearted," Qi Si said angrily.
"I'm only doing this because of the dog. Sometimes, you know, a person is really not as good as a dog," Qin Xiaoyu sighed.
Despite all his faults, Gao Daxiong still has a pure heart for dogs, so he still has some conscience left. I hope he can live well in Hong Kong with Ah Huan.
Because Gao Daxiong had interrupted them, time flew by, and the auspicious hour was approaching. The hall was full of guests, but no one knew that a little incident had occurred upstairs.
Qin Xiaoyu sat in the front row, drinking the hot milk that A Lei had brought her, and couldn't help but space out for a while.
"Are you tired? Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a bit?" A Lei said considerately.
"I'm not tired, I'm just wondering, should I be ruthless or leave room for maneuver? I'm confused."
"Just follow your heart, don't overthink it, it'll only tire you out. Just go with your gut feeling, do what you think is right. If you're wrong, you can correct it. Who can live to old age without ever making a mistake?" A Lei always knew how to help her resolve her inner conflicts.
"How did you guess he would care about that dog?" Qin Xiaoyu suddenly asked.
