The next day, Qin Zheng arranged for Tian Xiaohui to stay at the shop.
Tian Xiaohui had long known this day would come. When she went to work at the store, she obediently tied the new cotton quilt that Qin Zheng had bought for her to her old bicycle.
There was plenty of space left in the shop's warehouse, and there was even a bed for her to sleep on.
Besides, her mind wasn't on that.
Gu Jin and Qin Zheng also arrived.
Qin Zheng usually drops Ye Yun off in the morning. Ye Yun's shop opens early, so he can go back to work right after dropping her off.
But Gu Jin came less often.
As Tian Xiaohui carried the quilts into the warehouse, he watched from outside with a complicated expression.
Presumably because of what Ye Yun said yesterday, he also wanted to find an opportunity to explain things clearly to Tian Xiaohui.
How should I put it?
He and Tian Xiaohui are not on the same path.
If Tian Xiaohui really has her eye on him, then he should cut his losses as soon as possible and not waste the girl's youth.
Tian Xiaohui was happy.
She thought that Gu Jin had noticed her after their dinner last night and had come to see her specifically.
While Ye Yun was making her bed, she seized the opportunity to ask excitedly in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, have you told Gu Jin about that?"
Ye Yun didn't hide anything: "I told you."
"So what did he say?"
Ye Yun glanced at Gu Jin standing outside, and said with a forced smile, "You should go ask him yourself."
After saying that, she quickly made the bed and slipped away.
Tian Xiaohui looked puzzled. Why this reaction?
Qin Zheng was about to go inside to find Ye Yun when Ye Yun came out. Upon seeing him, Ye Yun immediately took his arm and hurriedly led him away.
"young married woman?"
Qin Zheng was puzzled, but Ye Yun quickly gave him a wink to Gu Jin.
Qin Zheng immediately understood.
He pulled Ye Yun aside and handed her a hot bun wrapped in brown paper, saying, "Wife, I just bought this. Eat it while it's hot."
The tempting aroma of the meat buns was mouthwatering, and a warm feeling slowly washed over Ye Yun.
She took a bite, "It smells so good..."
"It smells good."
Qin Zheng was filled with relief. After enduring the first month, his wife was finally able to eat.
I was both happy and worried.
Gu Jin smoked one cigarette after another, wanting to talk to Tian Xiaohui but struggling to find the right words. He was so troubled that he didn't know what to do.
In no time, four or five Daqianmen cigarette butts had accumulated at his feet.
Tian Xiaohui assumed that this was a private space that Ye Yun and Qin Zheng had specially set aside for her. Seeing Gu Jin standing motionless at the door, she simply took the initiative and, imitating other girls, called out, "Brother Gu Jin?"
Gu Jin suddenly shuddered.
What would it be like if a tough girl who could crack a person's head with a single blow suddenly started calling you "brother" in a sweet, delicate voice?
Horrifying!
It's nothing but horror!
The next second, Tian Xiaohui had already run up to Gu Jin. Gu Jin looked at Tian Xiaohui, his lips twitched awkwardly, and he even forgot to flick away the half-burnt ash from his cigarette.
Not far away, Qin Zheng and Ye Yun naturally noticed this scene as well.
"Can Gu Jin do it?"
Ye Yun could tell that Gu Jin was nervous, and she could also tell that this playboy actually didn't have much romantic experience.
Qin Zheng said calmly, "That's his business."
"You and Gu Jin are so close, his affairs will probably end up being your affairs too. Tian Xiaohui is a really good girl, but also a bit naive. When you disappeared without a trace, some people thought you were dead, but she still kept coming to your house to take care of your grandmother. Now she's fallen for Gu Jin, and Gu Jin is too embarrassed to refuse people..."
Ye Yun stopped there and gave a soft chuckle.
Qin Zheng sighed helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, he's just unlucky."
Ye Yun chuckled.
However, Qin Zheng knew that Tian Xiaohui was overestimating herself.
What is Tian Xiaohui's background?
What is Gu Jin's background?
Although the current social environment repeatedly teaches people not to divide themselves into classes, many people still prefer to marry someone of equal social standing when it comes to such an important life event as marriage.
If Gu Jin had risen through the ranks from humble beginnings, perhaps we could still have a talk.
Unfortunately, he was born in a government compound.
"Trust him, maybe he can handle it." Qin Zheng patted Ye Yun's shoulder, but couldn't suppress the hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh again.
Suddenly, an unpleasant noise came from the other side. It was clear that Tian Xiaohui and Gu Jin had argued, and the two of them frowned and looked over at the same time.
"In that case, you can go back now!"
Tian Xiaohui looked unwell and stormed into the shop after leaving Gu Jin with a remark.
Gu Jin remained where he was, scratching his head in frustration, seemingly annoyed by the matter but unable to find a suitable solution.
"Gu Jin? What's wrong?"
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng walked over.
Qin Zheng glanced at Tian Xiaohui, who had stormed back into the shop, and frowned, saying, "You can say whatever you want, but why did you make her so angry?"
"How could I dare to offend her?"
Gu Jin felt wronged and spread her hands: "I just said we weren't suitable, but she said something about how easy it is for a woman to pursue a man, and that she wouldn't give up. I said that was impossible, and she got angry. What did I do wrong?"
Qin Zheng: "..."
Ye Yun: "..."
Just as she had predicted.
A forced relationship won't be sweet, especially since Gu Jin is no ordinary person.
"Forget it, forget it. You two are so lovey-dovey, you naturally don't know how to handle this kind of thing." Gu Jin waved his hand, annoyed. "Ye Yun, you tell her for me that I don't care about her. If necessary, you can say some harsh words to hurt her!"
