Chapter 35
"Mom, I can't worry about that now. I'll give you three more days. If that doesn't work, I'll go to Dad and have him talk to you."
After saying that, Chen Jiaya turned and left.
Only Wang Qinzhi remained at the dining table, crying and cursing at her.
...
"Honey, do you want to go to Suzhou?" Sitting on the bed at night, Wei Laicheng leaned over with a sly look and asked Jiang Xixi in her ear.
Jiang Xixi was startled; she was thinking about something.
"Suzhou City?"
When Jiang Xixi thinks of Suzhou, she thinks of the bustling fashion capital of her past life.
The reason why Suzhou has become a fashion capital is inseparable from that fashion mogul.
As for the fashion queen, Jiang Xixi recalled a rumor from her past life.
"go."
If I happen to run into her this time and am fortunate enough to be able to help her, it would be a way of repaying the kindness she showed me in my past life.
Jiang Xixi was quick to act; the next morning, she went to the department store and asked Director Wang for leave.
As Director Wang left the office, he still looked worried.
He kept reminding her, "Xixi, it's fine to play, but we must not forget our important business. Whether our HA City and Xia Country can meet their foreign exchange targets this year depends on your trembling."
Jiang Xixi waved her hand, thinking to herself, "If I can win back the fashion mogul this time, I might earn enough foreign exchange for the next five years, not just this year."
After all, the fashion icon's skills are hereditary.
In other people's eyes, she wasn't even considered a junior.
...
"Wife, quick, over here."
In those days, squeezing onto a train was a real hassle, so the two of them arrived at the train station before dawn to wait for their train.
But just as the train was about to depart, the two almost missed boarding.
"Phew~ Finally made it up."
Sitting on her bunk, Jiang Xixi let out a long sigh of relief.
"Honey, we've got breakfast for sale here. Would you like to try some?"
Although he was addressing Jiang Xixi, Wei Laicheng's eyes were already glued to the food cart.
"Didn't we just have scallion pancakes this morning?" Jiang Xixi asked, puzzled, but seeing Wei Laicheng's pleading expression, she didn't say anything.
"Fine, I'll buy some and try them!"
"Wife, I knew you were the best."
After Wei Laicheng finished speaking in a flattering tone, he excitedly ran to the dining car.
"Hello, I'd like four steamed buns: two with mushrooms and chicken, one with shrimp, and one with pork and scallions."
Two bowls of soy milk, please. Thank you.
After bringing the large bag of things to Jiang Xixi, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and say in a low voice.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? Buying so much stuff, you just ate breakfast this morning, is your stomach a bottomless pit?"
The steamed buns on the train were incredibly generous in size, each one about the size of Jiang Xixi's face. Wei Laicheng even bought four, which left everyone speechless.
"Oh, honey, I heard from others that the steamed buns on the train are delicious. I've never had them before, so I want to try them. Don't worry, I can finish them all."
Jiang Xixi was speechless. Was that what she meant?
Why can't this thing understand human speech?
Forget it, Jiang Xixi finally understands. Talking to Wei Laicheng will only make you angry. Just eat it. Who can eat as much as your living father?
"Honey, you should try this soy milk. It's so rich and creamy, you'll definitely love it."
Jiang Xixi took a bite and found it to be quite good, with a rich bean flavor.
And so, Jiang Xixi ate half a bun and drank half a cup of soy milk, while Wei Laicheng devoured the rest of the food like a starving ghost.
"Hiccup~"
After Wei Laicheng finished eating, he let out a burp. Jiang Xixi rolled her eyes at him, telling him to figure it out for himself.
Time moves forward at its own pace.
The soft sleeper tickets they stayed in were bought by Wei Laicheng through a friend. No one came up during the journey, and the couple stayed in their private compartment. At first, it was fine, but after a while, it did get a bit boring.
Fortunately, the train is almost at the station.
"Is this the private room?"
"It seems so, this is what our boss arranged."
A rough voice suddenly came from outside the private room. It seemed that they were trying to keep their voices down so that no one would hear them. However, Jiang Xixi had always had good hearing and still heard their conversation.
Boss?
Is this guy involved in organized crime?
Wuhu~ After they came in, Jiang Xixi sighed inwardly. This thing is not the mafia, but it is even more disgusting than the mafia!
Upon entering, two simply dressed, burly men appeared, looking rather simple-minded. Had it not been for some subtle clues revealed in their movements, Jiang Xixi would never have noticed them.
For example, although the two big men were dressed simply, their clothes were made of polyester, the same fabric used by today's fashion aristocrats, the Blakely.
And the leather shoes he was wearing—in this day and age, buying a pair of leather shoes wasn't easy.
Of course, what convinced Jiang Xixi that the two people's identities were questionable was the child in the arms of the burly man walking ahead.
The child was fair-skinned, but his face had an unnatural flush, and he seemed dazed.
She also saw the clothes the children were wearing at the Friendship Store last time; it was said to be a clothing brand imported from country B.
Extremely expensive, even if you have the money, you can't buy it; you have to have a certain status in your family.
So even though the two burly men tried their best to act simple-minded, Jiang Xixi still managed to confirm their identities as human traffickers.
"Wei Laicheng, I need to go to the restroom. Will you come with me?"
Although Wei Laicheng didn't know what his wife meant, seeing the look she gave him, he, being a devoted husband, went along with it.
"Okay, let's go, wife."
As soon as the two men stepped out of the private room, the two human traffickers inside pressed their ears to the door to listen.
"They both left?"
"Judging from the sound, it seems like they've left."
“That woman is pretty. The boss wasn’t satisfied with the goods we had last time. What do you think, should we…”
Although he hadn't finished speaking, the person standing next to him understood what he meant, having been companions for many years.
"Forget it. Our main task is this kid. The boss has already said that if we fail to complete the mission this time, Xiao Xu's fate will be our future."
"That woman is beautiful, but the man next to her is not to be trifled with; they're both from the underworld. And that guy knows martial arts; I don't believe you couldn't tell."
The burly man on the left frowned and rejected the suggestion.
Clearly, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
But the burly man on the right didn't think so.
Since we've already come all this way, and we've finally found some good stuff, why can't we take it?
"Third brother, you're getting more and more timid. Wasn't it just a little close call last time? Has that scared you into a cat's guts?"
The person on the right is making a sarcastic remark in a strong Chinese tone.
The burly man on the left still had a deep frown on his face. "Fourth brother, I have a bad feeling. Did those two discover something?"
As it turns out, the big man on the left's sixth sense was quite accurate.
Because Jiang Xixi was standing in front of the train police officer at that moment.
"Human traffickers? Are you sure?"
