Liu Mei had a smile on her face, but she was cursing Xu Xiuxiu in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Xiuxiu was a skilled knife-wielder, she would have given up on this friend long ago.

He is dull and stupid, and always messes up things.

"I see these hairpins are all of the same style, I'm dazzled by the choice, but Weiwei's hair is black and shiny, she'll look good in any of these hairpins." Liu Mei praised Xiang Baiwei to the sky with implicit words.

The female teachers who came with him came over curiously, and when they learned that Jiang Sui was going to buy a gift for Xiang Baiwei, they started teasing him.

Jiang Sui accepted all the teasing and even started asking for other people's opinions.

After a lot of discussion, Jiang Sui took a fancy to a can of shampoo imported from the city. According to the salesperson, the shampoo had a special gardenia scent and the fragrance lasted very long.

Jiang Sui thought that Xiang Baiwei rarely put anything fancy on her hair, so buying her a hairpin or silk scarf might not please her.

But this shampoo is not necessarily the case. Xiang Baiwei seems to cherish her hair very much, so she should like this shampoo.

"Then let's take this shampoo." Jiang Sui reached out to touch the money, "How much is this bottle?"

The salesperson took a look at the clothes he was wearing and replied, "Ten dollars a can."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of female comrades who were watching the fun and came with Liu Mei all gasped.

Ten dollars can buy a lot of things in this day and age.

You know, for one dollar you can buy a big bowl of mutton soup which is half mutton.

After hearing the price, Jiang Sui was not vague. He took out a few banknotes and put them on the cabinet: "Help me pack this shampoo."

After the salesperson helped him pack it neatly, Jiang Sui carried the gift, walked through and said hello to Liu Mei and others, then left the supply and marketing cooperative without looking back.

After witnessing how Jiang Sui prepared a gift for Xiang Baiwei, Liu Mei no longer had the heart to buy anything.

She made the excuse that she suddenly remembered something to do, and went to sit under a tree outside the supply and marketing cooperative to enjoy the cool air, taking Xu Xiuxiu, who had been obeying her because she had been thinking about her recently.

Xu Xiuxiu could vaguely guess why she was in a bad mood, so she gave Liu Mei a peanut candy hidden in her pocket: "Don't be sad, all men are like this, when they see a beautiful vixen, they can't control their brains or bodies. That's what my mother said."

Liu Mei refused the peanut candy, held her chin with her hand, and looked at the people coming and going on the street.

"You're right. She's beautiful, that's good."

Liu Mei pinched her face. To be honest, she was sometimes jealous of Xiang Baiwei, because Xiang Baiwei's face was what she dreamed of having.

Usually Liu Mei pays great attention to her words and actions, and tries her best to maintain a good image when she appears in public. Even the way she smiles when she speaks is something she has practiced countless times in front of the mirror to ensure that the amplitude can show off her beauty to the maximum.

Unlike Xiang Baiwei, no matter what expression she makes, no matter how exaggerated her movements are, they all look good on her, uniquely good-looking.

This can also explain why Jiang Sui fell into Xiang Baiwei's trap so quickly.

Originally according to Liu Mei's plan, when she set a trap for Bai Wei to force Jiang Sui to marry her, she had already severely offended Jiang Sui.

Then, he only needs to slowly manipulate the relationship between the two of them and widen the rift. Sooner or later, Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui will become enemies.

But now the development of things is completely opposite to what I had planned before.

Xiang Baiwei was living a more and more proud life, and Jiang Sui treated her with an attitude of holding her in his hands for fear of dropping her, or holding her in his mouth for fear of melting her.

This was something she had not expected at first.

Sooner or later one day...

This sentence was too uncertain, and Liu Mei didn't have the patience to wait until that time.

And Aunt Jenny also said that she had to convince the rich man as soon as possible to agree to adopt Liu Mei as his daughter.

The rich man's health is getting worse day by day. If he doesn't settle down soon, there will be many troubles. It's unknown who will get the huge inheritance.

Liu Mei rubbed her fingers, and the previous thought came to her mind again.

It is impossible for Xiang Laogen and his wife to hide the secret that she is not their biological child from Xiang Baiwei forever.

It is said that Xiang Baiwei was carrying something that could prove her identity. Although no one knows what it is, if one day a rich man suddenly comes to Baiyun City to look for his relatives, and Xiang Baiwei is really that child, then she can take that thing that can prove her identity to recognize her relatives.

By that time, the wealthy life for himself and Aunt Jenny for the rest of their lives would be nothing more than a fantasy.

I can't allow this to happen.

Liu Mei stood up suddenly, and Xu Xiuxiu, who was standing next to her, was startled: "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered that I didn't buy something."

Liu Mei turned around and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative again. When she went in, she happened to run into the group of companions coming out.

"Liu Mei, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you for such a long time?"

"I'm going to the bathroom. Wait for me at the door for a while. I'll come find you after I finish shopping."

Liu Mei went to the counter, bought some cigarettes and alcohol, then took off her coat and hid the cigarettes and alcohol inside the coat.

After returning to the village, Liu Mei walked around the village several times by herself until she found the person she was looking for. Then she slowly followed the person from a distance, without making any noise, to a secluded place where no one was around.

The person Liu Mei was following was the son of Xiang Baiwei's father Xiang Lao Gen's cousin, and also Xiang Baiwei's cousin, a notorious scoundrel who was ignored by everyone in the village - Xiang Shunqiang.

She had a deep impression of this man. When she first came to Xiangjia Village, she was bullied by Xiang Shunqiang.

Even now, Xiang Shunqiang would occasionally say some unpleasant words to her when he saw her.

This is a lazy, lecherous man, a scoundrel, but if used properly, he can be a more useful tool.

"Oh my, the sun is rising from the west today," Xiang Shunqiang came out from behind the tree and looked at Liu Mei who was standing there in a daze. "I noticed just now that you were following me. What's going on?"

Liu Mei suppressed her nausea and pretended to be calm while talking to Xiang Shunqiang: "I have something to talk to you about. Don't stand so close to me. Just stand here and we can talk from a distance."

"This is not the attitude to ask for help."

Xiang Shunqiang was not threatened by her at all. He approached her with a smile and said, "What do you need from me? If you want me to help you, you have to behave well and show your sincerity!"

In the previous life, if Liu Mei hadn't interfered, Jiang Jiang and Wei Wei wouldn't have ended up like that, right?

Although Jiang Jiang is a taciturn person, he is willing to respect his wife. Even without a passionate love, he can still live an ordinary life!
