Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 384 Not all apologies can be forgiven
"What's the matter?" Su Jiaojiao had already started the car, but still rolled down the window halfway.
Su Houli was still well-dressed, but his words and actions no longer had the former spiritedness, and there was a hint of haggardness between his eyebrows. Appearance reflects the heart, and his haggardness did not come from work, but from life.
No matter whether she is well-dressed or haggard, she no longer has any affection for Su Houli. This man abandoned her when she was in the most difficult time and went to raise Gao Meifeng's daughter. She will never forgive him.
"Although your mother and I are divorced, I am still your father. I hope we can visit each other more often." Su Houli knew that his daughter hated her and tried to make amends. "I know I did something wrong. I hope you can forgive me."
Before the divorce, he disliked Su Jiaojiao because she was a girl, but after the divorce, when he was raising Gao Meifeng's child, he felt that it was impossible to raise other people's children well.
The last time Xu Yuxiang came to live here, she fell to the ground while trying to avoid a big dog in the community, broke her leg, and couldn't walk.
Gao Meifeng and Xue Yuxin didn't care at all. Xue Yuxin even suggested that he take Xu Yuxiang to live in the attic so as not to disturb her and her mother's normal life.
When he heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.
If he encounters such a situation when he is old, Xue Yuxin might not care about him.
If Chen Guilan encountered such a situation, she would definitely take care of Xu Yuxiang without taking off her clothes, and he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, he banged his head against the wall in regret. He was obsessed with divorcing Chen Guilan and raising a child for someone else.
He has a daughter, but he can't see her all the time.
"Dad, if you don't want to be in charge of my order, just go and tell Ms. Kang to find someone else." Su Jiaojiao ignored him, "Apart from work, I don't think we have anything else to talk about."
"Jiaojiao, Daddy knows he was wrong. Can you please forgive him?" Su Houli leaned against the car window and said in an almost pleading tone, "No matter what, I am still your father. You are my biological daughter."
"Now you know I'm your biological daughter?" Su Jiaojiao looked at him coldly. "Where were you when I was in high school and couldn't pay tuition? Where were you when you were paying Gao Meifeng's daughter's tuition and I had no money to eat?"
"Jiaojiao, Daddy is sorry for you..." Su Houli felt heartbroken. "Daddy is not ignoring you, but I feel that I have left the house and land in the village to you, so..."
"You left the house and land to me, but you know the reason, and so do my mother and I." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to argue with Su Houli about the house and land. "If you can forgive what you did with just an apology, then my mother and I deserved the suffering we endured. In other words, if you had a happy family now, you wouldn't think of us at all, right?"
Su Houli's regret comes from the fact that his current family is unhappy, rather than from any real guilt for the harm he had done to her and Chen Guilan.
All in all, he is still a selfish person.
She doesn't want a father like this.
"..." Su Houli was speechless and watched his daughter drive away, leaving him with a distant figure.
"Why, now that your daughter has become successful, do you regret it?" Gao Meifeng stood behind Su Houli and said sarcastically, "If you regret it, go find them. Maybe you can even get some leftovers."
"You are simply sick!" Su Houli glared at her and walked into the workshop without looking back.
"You are sick, your whole family is sick!" Gao Meifeng did not show any weakness. He changed completely when he saw his daughter. Biological children are always different.
If Xue Yuxin knew about this, she would be so sad.
Just because Xue Yuxin is not his child, he ignores her, as if she and her daughter owe him something.
Back then, he was the one who took the initiative to marry her, and he even said that he would take care of Xue Yuxin like his own daughter. Bah!
A man's mouth is a lie, don't trust it!
When Su Jiaojiao returned home, Chen Guilan was sitting in the living room with Ding Mei, drinking tea and chatting. Seeing Su Jiaojiao come back, Ding Mei stood up and gave her a big hug, "Jiaojiao, you haven't been back for a year. Have you forgotten us?"
"No, I'm back!" Su Jiaojiao was also very happy to see Ding Mei and sat down next to her. "Is the factory closed for the holiday?"
"You're not taking orders anymore, so we have no work to do, so we're going on holiday early." Ding Mei put on light makeup, her skin looking much whiter and more beautiful than before. She held Su Jiaojiao's tender hand tightly, "I just told your mother that we all missed you. As soon as I heard you were back, I ran over to see you."
"I miss you guys, too." Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "When I'm free, I'll go to the factory to see you."
"Piaojiao, you only make knitwear now and not leather jackets?" Ding Mei still hopes to cooperate with Su Jiaojiao again.
People have feelings, especially when she was in the most difficult time, it was Su Jiaojiao who lent a helping hand, so she was able to hold on until today.
"I'm probably done with it now. Leather jacket sales aren't as good as they were in previous years." Su Jiaojiao knew there were still some leather jackets on the market, and they were selling well, but it was also true that the leather jacket boom was over. "Sister Ding, what are your plans for next year?"
"Old customers have been coming back to me, so I'm taking on some orders. After all, people in the factory have to eat." Ding Mei knew Su Jiaojiao was making jeans in Mo City, and added, "If it doesn't work out, I'll replace all the leather sewing machines with flat-step sewing machines and specialize in making jeans. I see people wearing jeans on the streets."
When she chatted with Liu Ming, Chang Yuqin and others, they often talked about Su Jiaojiao.
Liu Ming said that it was right to follow Su Jiaojiao, saying that after all, Su Jiaojiao had a store in the capital, and she must know what sold well and what did not.
Ding Mei thought so too.
"Sister Ding, if you make jeans, we will definitely cooperate again, because I make jeans all year round, but jeans have a washing process, which involves sewage treatment. As long as this problem is solved, there will be no problem." Su Jiaojiao will not persuade Ding Mei to change, but if Ding Mei is willing to change, she will also give her advice.
After all, Baota Town has already established a scale for jeans production and has a special washing factory. Jiao County City does not have a washing factory, so Ding Mei has to solve the problem herself.
"I know this. If I do it, I will definitely apply for the relevant procedures." Ding Mei has been making leather jackets for several years and is tired of it. She knows that if she wants to have a steady stream of orders, she has to make knitted garments.
Qi Meijiali Garment Factory receives various orders all year round, but she can only accept leather jackets. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer orders for leather jackets now, so she has to transform.
"That's no problem." Su Jiaojiao believed in Ding Mei's strength. "The biggest advantage of knitwear is that it has a wide market audience. Just like hoodies, shirts, jeans, etc., they are common everyday wear. Unlike leather jackets, leather jackets have a bit of a luxury feel."
If Ding Mei succeeds in her transformation, she will place some of her jeans orders with Ding Mei's Natus to reduce her dependence on Qifa Garment Factory.
"Yes, leather jackets are selling slower this year than in previous years," Chen Guilan said with deep emotion. "Luckily, we made fewer this year, otherwise, we wouldn't have sold them all by now. I'll keep the remaining dozen or so in the store and sell them slowly."
"That's pretty good." Ding Mei smiled, looked at Su Jiaojiao, and said, "Jiaojiao, I have something important to ask you today..."
"You don't need to ask her. I don't agree." Chen Guilan interrupted Ding Mei. "At my age, I'm just living on my own. I don't have any other thoughts."
"Sister Ding, who is the other party?" Su Jiaojiao understood. She had actually thought about this question, but she had never asked Chen Guilan. The main reason was that she felt that her mother had not revealed any intention of remarrying, and it was not convenient for her as a daughter to ask.
If Chen Guilan had this intention, she would definitely not stop her.
She also hopes that her mother has someone to accompany her, provided that this person is reliable.
