They avoided it.

Because in her past life, every time Han Xinrui saw Huo Hongtao and Bai Qingqing alone together, she would eavesdrop on what they were saying.

She would even scrutinize their conversations over and over again, so Han Xinrui had a deep impression of anything Huo Hongtao and Bai Qingqing mentioned.

To express his gratitude to Han Xinrui, Zhang's father gave all the workers' clothes from the mine to Han Xinrui.

Han Xinrui received her first order from Zhang's father that exceeded the number of white items.

Since Zhang Wei and Han Xinrui were the only two people in the dormitory, they went to class in an orderly manner.

...

After working at Han Xinrui's shop for half a year, Xing Taohua met Xing Jianlin in the north of the city.

When Xing Jianlin saw the completely transformed Xing Taohua, he was momentarily stunned and stared at her for a long time before exclaiming in shock, "Taohua?"

Xing Taohua has grown her hair long and lost weight, weighing at most 120 pounds. She dresses very fashionably herself because she buys clothes. Under Xia Xiaomei's tutelage, she puts on makeup for work every day.

She's been working as a late-night snack vendor for half a year now, and she's long since lost her rural charm.

So when Xing Jianlin stood in front of her, he didn't dare to recognize Xing Taohua for a moment.

Upon hearing Xing Jianlin's voice, Xing Taohua looked up at him indifferently and asked in a low voice, "Are you here to buy something?"

Just as Xing Jianlin was about to speak, the woman following behind him came out.

She sized Xing Taohua up and down, then asked Xing Jianlin in an unfriendly tone, "Jianlin, who is this vixen? She wouldn't happen to be your shameless ex-wife, would she?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Taohua glanced at the woman and said calmly, "I am his sister."

The woman looked to be in her fifties, and her attire was both unfashionable and mercenary.

Xing Jianlin was hunched over, looking ten years older than he had six months ago.

In the past six months, he finally gave up looking for Bai Qingqing.

He hasn't heard anything from Bai Qingqing. He goes to the police station three to five times a month, and the result is always the same.

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled broadly: "You... so you're my sister-in-law! I'm your sister-in-law! Do you own this shop? I've always heard your brother say that his sister is very capable! I never imagined that you owned this shop! So, if I come in to get my clothes, I won't have to pay anything?"

Xing Taohua glanced at the woman, then asked Xing Jianlin, "Brother, I heard Xing Taohua ran off with the money. Are you two divorced? Do you still have money to find other women?"

The woman's expression changed upon hearing Xing Taohua's words: "Her ex-wife ran off with the money? Didn't she run off with some other man?"

Xing Taohua smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know! My sister-in-law is only in her early twenties! She's beautiful, and my brother likes her very much. He spoils her rotten."

Upon hearing this, the woman stomped her foot at Xing Jianlin and said, "I knew you were a former commander, so why would you be looking for me? Turns out you're looking for a free nanny! Shameless thing."

The woman raised her hand and slapped Xing Jianlin across the face. After slapping him, she was still not satisfied and cursed at Xing Taohua, "You're no better! You're so slutty, and you look like a worn-out shoe."

Seeing the woman about to run away, Xing Jianlin was anxious to chase after her, but Xing Taohua reached out and grabbed him: "Brother, I have something to ask you!"
