Chapter 132
He seemed to be causing her trouble.
Thinking of this, Ji Hebai shrank back, put his hand that was stained with Wang Daqiang's blood behind his back, lowered his eyes and dared not look into Zhong Qiao's eyes again.
Beat him? Scold him? Or let them have no contact with each other in the future, Ji Hebai thought randomly.
Zhong Qiao stared at his hand that he had put back behind his back, sighed, and said helplessly: "Give me your hand, go in and apply the medicine."
Ji Hebai moved slightly but remained silent.
Zhong Qiao didn't care about him anymore and just walked in. He would come in honestly anyway.
Sure enough, after she entered the door, Ji Hebai followed her.
Zhong Qiao took out the medicines and bandages at home, waited for him to sit down, and then carefully disinfected his wound with alcohol, and then proceeded with the treatment step by step.
Seeing Zhong Qiao carefully treating his wounds and showing no anger on his face, Ji Hebai couldn't help but ask, "You, don't you blame me?"
Zhong Qiao didn't even raise his eyes: "Why should I blame you?"
Ji Hebai was silent for a few seconds and said, "Because I hit someone and caused you trouble, and..."
Also, the phrase "I will marry you" said in front of others.
This sentence may spread throughout the compound before tomorrow.
"Do you think I'm still afraid of trouble?" Zhong Qiao looked up at him, her eyes clear. "Ever since I got divorced and returned to my parents' home, even if I did nothing, they would take the initiative to cause trouble for me. I'm never afraid."
"What others do and think is their business. I don't care."
She bandaged his wound with a bandage and sent him a bow.
"Ji Hebai, I've always wanted to ask you, if you didn't have that dream, would you still help me?"
This is also a question that Zhong Qiao has been thinking about frequently these days. Looking at Ji Hebai's attitude towards her, especially when he beat up Wang Daqiang, who always caused trouble, without any hesitation, she felt both panicked and a little moved.
After the heartbeat was fleeting, she would return to her calm state and would keep wondering whether it was a blessing or a curse that someone suddenly broke into her life.
"Zhong Qiao." Ji Hebai's voice was light, yet heavy enough. He said, "Even if I didn't have that dream, I would still come back."
"Over the years, I've never let you go. I should be the one to say sorry. I'm a coward, but I dare not admit it. I can only disguise myself with calmness and politeness. I often wonder, if we hadn't had those misunderstandings back then, I would have been braver..."
His dark eyes stared at Zhong Qiao without moving.
If there hadn't been those misunderstandings, if there hadn't been Xu Shaojun, would Wanwan have been our child? And you, should have been my wife.
Zhong Qiao suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Even without you, this is my disaster." Don't blame anyone.
"Ji Hebai, we have no feelings for each other. In fact, you have always been living in the past. The kindness you showed me was more about remembrance of the Zhong Qiao before he fell into the water. But I am different now. I am a brand new person now."
Zhong Qiao told the story slowly.
"Don't be nice to me anymore. Many things will be different now. Wait until you really understand what I'm saying, then give me an answer."
Ji Hebai was speechless. When he finally walked out the door, his mind was still in a mess. He looked at the closed door behind him for a long time and chose to leave.
As for Wang Daqiang and Cui Liu, no one knew what means Ji Hebai used to make them disappear. For a long time, Ji Hebai did not appear again, and the days passed like this. Zhong Qiao arranged business dealings as if nothing had happened.
As the weather gradually warmed up, wild goods were still rare in the city, but more and more people were buying and selling wild goods. Zhong Qiao decisively gave up this path and instead focused all his attention on clothing.
"I sold another ten orders!" Du Yalan's face turned red with excitement.
"I'm not bad either. I was the sales champion last month." Zhang Pingping puffed out her chest proudly.
I learned the term "sales champion" from Zhong Qiao. In Zhong Qiao's words, it means the one who sells the best clothes.
Although Zhang Pingping's figure is not as good as Du Yalan's, she looks friendly and has a chatterbox. Customers who are overwhelmed by her praises always buy several pieces with a smile on their faces.
Zhong Qiao carefully examined the bill and said, "You're all great." He looked up and asked, "Where's Sanhua?"
A few girls looked at each other and neither of us understood.
"I'm here!" A familiar voice sounded, and Liu Sanhua suddenly appeared from the door.
Zhong Qiao and others were shocked by her because she was soaked from head to toe like a drowned rat.
"What's going on? Don't you have an umbrella?" Jingui quickly took out a dry towel and wiped her hair. "How did you get into this state?"
The other girls also took out their own clothes: "Sanhua, it would be bad if you get sick if you wear mine."
Liu Sanhua shook her head, her eyes sparkling: "Sister Zhong Qiao, I met a noble person today. Someone wants to buy all our clothes!"
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. Buy all the clothes! They have been working overnight these past few days, and there are at least more than a hundred pieces. All this is money.
Zhong Qiao felt her heart pounding, but she suppressed her excitement and carefully asked Liu Sanhua, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Liu Sanhua went out this morning and rescued an old lady. The old lady was from Shanghai and fell in love with the clothes she was wearing at first sight. She wanted to buy all the clothes and the design drawings, and told her everything in detail.
Liu Sanhua said, "Sister Zhong Qiao, we've finally made it through. Why are you still hesitating? I'll take you there tomorrow and settle this matter."
"Yes, this is a great opportunity. If we can seize it, we won't have to work so hard."
Zhong Qiao felt something was amiss through her description, but couldn't put her finger on it. Not wanting to disappoint the girl's enthusiasm, she could only be vague: "How about this, Jingui, you come with me tomorrow."
He gave Jingui a look, and Jingui immediately understood and nodded: "Okay."
The girls didn't notice that Zhong Qiao looked unhappy. They were as passionate about this matter as they were about gossip. They discussed it for the entire afternoon without even a dry mouth.
Zhong Qiao specifically called Liu Sanhua out during the break.
"Tell me what the old lady is wearing."
Liu Sanhua didn't quite understand why Sister Zhong Qiao was asking so much about such trivial matters, but out of her trust in her, she still recalled it carefully and finally said, "It was an old lady with her hair in a bun, wearing a cheongsam and holding a pearl bag. I couldn't quite understand what she said, and there was a man next to her who said he was a translator."
"Anyway, their outfit doesn't look cheap. The man is wearing gold-rimmed glasses. They're visiting relatives and friends. They look like they belong to a wealthy family."
