Watching Jiang Nanqiu's departing figure, Jiang's mother felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
This home will never be the same again.
Song Yan gritted her teeth as she watched Jiang Nanqiu's departing figure.
Who is his real sister anyway? He actually scolded her for someone who took her identity and monopolized her parents' and brothers' affection.
On what grounds? On what grounds does Jiang Anxia have?
Where Jiang's mother couldn't see, the malice in Song Yan's eyes almost solidified into a tangible form.
Walking on the sunlit avenue, Jiang Anxia's lips curled up, a gentle smile gracing her pretty face.
That's great, she feels so light now.
Having figured it out, she chose to let go of the past and stop dwelling on those trivial matters.
Back in Gu Yanzhu's courtyard, Jiang Anxia, just like Lin Bai, moved a deck chair over and leisurely basked in the sun.
"By the way, have you resolved your matter?" Lin Bai asked, cracking open a handful of sunflower seeds.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with me?" Jiang Anxia looked at Lin Bai blankly.
Is there something about her that she doesn't know about?
"That one from the Jiang family." Lin Bai sighed helplessly.
"Oh no! Didn't you already know?" Jiang Anxia tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowed.
"Who said that? It's Song Yan." Lin Baiyu choked, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Oh! I thought it was something else! She's Jiang's parents' daughter, so it's a good thing she's back!" Jiang Anxia paused for a moment, then spoke nonchalantly.
"You really think so?" Lin Bai looked at Jiang Anxia in shock, as if this was not something she could say.
"What are you talking about? Go wash your hands, it's time to eat." Gu Yanzhu walked lightly behind the two of them and spoke abruptly.
"Okay." Lin Bai stood up and nodded solemnly to Gu Yanzhu.
“Okay.” Jiang Anxia reached out her hand to Gu Yanzhu, gesturing for him to help her up.
Gu Yanzhu chuckled and took the little girl's hand with a doting expression.
With a slight exertion in her arms, Jiang Anxia stood up.
...
Jiang Anxia sat at her desk, staring intently at one spot.
"Sigh :-(." Jiang Anxia sighed softly. Looking at these books now gave her a headache.
Since she came back last time, she has been reading every day, and it's making her head spin.
"Knock knock knock." Just as Jiang Anxia was about to give up, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Anxia's eyes lit up; finally, she didn't have to read anymore.
"What are you doing here?" The smile on Jiang Anxia's face vanished the moment she opened the door.
She never expected that the person who came would be him.
"I...I came to take a look." The slightly deep voice sounded rather grating to Jiang Anxia's ears.
"No need. Please don't come again." Jiang Anxia's expression was cold; she didn't welcome the man in front of her.
“Comrade Jiang, my mother was wrong about what happened last time. I’ve already talked to her about it,” Zhou Zhao quickly said.
He knew that the last time that scene occurred, it was all because of him.
He was wrong, which caused his mother to misunderstand Comrade Jiang.
His purpose in coming this time was to explain things clearly to Comrade Jiang.
"I've long forgotten what you said. I won't remember people who aren't relevant to me." Jiang Anxia frowned slightly, her tone cold.
She truly didn't want to have anything to do with the person in front of her.
Thinking this, Jiang Anxia took advantage of the other party's inattention to close the courtyard gate and put the bolt down.
But she was also worried that what if the other party got angry and kicked the door down?
A thought flashed through her mind, and Jiang Anxia took out a bottle of enhanced pepper spray and a spiked club from her spatial storage.
The sharp wolf fangs gleamed in the sunlight.
Jiang Anxia squinted slightly, looked at the spiked club, and nodded in satisfaction.
Zhou Zhao frowned as he looked at the courtyard gate that had suddenly closed in front of him.
Did he say something that upset Comrade Jiang?
"Comrade Jiang... Comrade Jiang..." After calling twice and seeing no response from inside, Zhou Zhao knew that the other party would not open the door.
But he was unwilling to leave just like that, yet he didn't have the courage to kick down the door.
Zhou Zhao could only glare at the gate resentfully before leaving unwillingly.
Just you wait! Zhou Zhao won't let this go so easily.
Hearing that there was no more movement outside the door, Jiang Anxia breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that Zhou Zhao would kick the door open and come in without a second thought.
However, once is never enough. He left this time, but what if he comes back next time?
Jiang Anxia decided to think it over carefully. She was determined to keep Zhou Zhao away from her life, or better yet, to prevent him from ever appearing in her life again.
Rubbing her hands together, Jiang Anxia looked at the spiked club in her hand and smiled silently. The thought flashed through her mind, and the spiked club disappeared without a trace.
Sitting back down at her desk, Jiang Anxia rested her chin on her hand and thought about it carefully.
It seems the college entrance exam will be reinstated this month, right?
Soon, she won't have to wait long before she can leave this place.
...
"Xiaxia, did you know? The college entrance examination has been reinstated." Wang Yuejiao looked at Jiang Anxia with excitement.
“I know, these days the streets are mostly filled with people looking for study materials.” Jiang Anxia nodded slightly and chuckled.
“Yes! After hearing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the educated youth in the brigade would read books as soon as they got home after work and ate dinner!” Wang Yuejiao said with some emotion.
She had never seen anyone work so hard.
After finishing work and housework every day, I spend the rest of my time reading.
"If they want to go back to the city, besides using connections, this is the only way," Jiang Anxia sighed.
She understood those people's desire to return to the city, but sometimes, pushing yourself too hard can backfire.
"Jiaojiao, you should also read books, but you should pay attention to balancing work and rest."
"Yes, yes, I will. I definitely won't be like those people," Wang Yuejiao assured, patting her chest.
"What are you talking about? Wash your hands and eat." Lin Bai quietly walked up behind the two of them.
"Hey! Lin Bai, what are you doing?" Wang Yuejiao was startled and turned around to walk towards Lin Bai.
Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Bai turned and ran.
"Lin Bai, you stop right there!" Wang Yuejiao stomped her foot angrily.
"No," Lin Bai said haughtily.
"What?" Wang Yuejiao curled her lip and chased after him.
Jiang Anxia stayed where she was, watching the two playfully bickering, a gentle smile on her face.
Gu Yanzhu stood at the kitchen doorway, his eyes fixed on the little girl who seemed to be shining.
For some reason, he could no longer see the same way he had seen her when he first met her.
The girl back then was cheerful and sunny; but the girl now seems to have become quiet and gentle after experiencing countless things.
Gu Yanzhu actually didn't want to see a girl like that.
Because in his mind, a little girl should be carefree, and she shouldn't be like this.
