Jiang Xue waved her hand, "I'm dizzy. You divide the food in half, and I'll lie down on the sofa for a while."
Don't underestimate the power of sweet rice wine. If you drink too much, you'll get so drunk you won't be able to drink anymore. Jiang Xue thought she had a high alcohol tolerance, but she couldn't escape the pure grain-brewed rice wine of this day.
She couldn't hear a word Gu Xiaoling and Aunt Zhou were saying; she was half asleep and soon drifted off to sleep.
The winter evening wind was particularly biting.
Jiang Xue felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she were carrying a heavy weight on her head. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on her familiar bed.
She quickly got up, but had no memory of falling asleep.
"You're awake? Are you hungry?" Ji Chen's cold voice startled Jiang Xue.
"You brought me back?"
“Yeah, if I didn’t bring you back, were I just going to let you sleep in the shop forever?” Ji Chen handed Jiang Xue an enamel mug. “Have some sugar water, you’re drunk.”
Ji Chen had already heard Gu Xiaoling's account of the whole story, but he didn't really want to ask Jiang Xue. He could sense that Jiang Xue was in a bit of a mess right now, and he guessed that trouble would follow one after another.
"Where's the child?" Jiang Xue asked anxiously.
"They'll be sleeping with Ji Dong tonight, you don't need to worry about it. Just get some rest, does your head hurt?"
Ji Chen sat down next to Jiang Xue and touched her forehead with his hand. "You're not cold, are you?"
Jiang Xue smiled faintly, "How could I be that weak?"
As for Sun's mother's actions, she was too lazy to care for the time being. So what if she had some power? She didn't believe there was no justice in this world. The most important thing was that she was operating legally, and she didn't believe that Sun could bring down her.
What she's worried about now is Xie Chunmei.
If she doesn't act recklessly, her reputation in business will be completely ruined. In business, cooperation depends not only on ability and economic strength, but also, most importantly, on character.
Although Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng have done many things wrong, outsiders only know that they are her parents. How can others trust the after-sales service of her factory if she can even disregard her own parents?
“Jiang Lai came by. I told him you were drunk and stopped him from coming in to bother you.” Ji Chen sat down by Jiang Xue’s bed and tucked the blanket around her.
Jiang Xue rubbed her temples helplessly, "I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
"How about I go with you back to your home tomorrow?"
Jiang Xue, holding an enamel mug, leaned against the headboard. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Go to sleep first."
"Then I'll sleep here?" Ji Chen asked cautiously, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
"No, no, I'm not scared anymore."
Jiang Xue's face was full of embarrassment. She waved her hand awkwardly to refuse, thinking about how the tall and strong Ji Chen had curled up at the foot of her bed and slept all night.
"No, you probably still have a headache, and the wound on your leg has reopened. You're not careful at all. If I don't take care of you, who will?" Ji Chen's deep eyes stared straight at Jiang Xue.
"Don't pay any attention to that pretty boy's mother. I know that pretty boy is interested in you. Let's not get a divorce for now. Let her find something to use against you." Ji Chen could tell that Jiang Xue hadn't developed feelings for him yet, but he was willing to take it slow. As long as Jiang Xue was by his side, there was no reason why he couldn't win her over.
