When Jiang Xue returned to the shop, she saw Ji Chen sitting on the sofa with his long legs slightly bent and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
His brows were furrowed, and he was shrouded in sadness.
Jiang Xue quietly walked to Ji Chen's side.
Have you eaten? Do you want me to take you out for a meal?
When Ji Chen saw Jiang Xue arrive, his brows relaxed slightly, but this time he didn't ask Jiang Xue any questions like before.
He simply said, "I've already eaten. Shall we go home?"
Jiang Xue noticed that Ji Chen seemed uneasy, and she sensed that something was wrong.
She wondered if Ji Chen had overheard Huang Yinyin's gossip, or if he was wondering what had happened to his teacher.
Sitting behind Ji Chen, Jiang Xue frowned immediately. She didn't know when she had become so anxious and insecure.
She is not the person she likes now. To be honest, she is not very happy with how she has become.
However, now that Ji Chen has encountered this situation, she acts as if nothing has happened and goes back first.
When they got home, Jiang Xue stewed some beef brisket with potatoes for the two children. Shao Heng and Shao Meng were quite well-behaved and finished their meal in no time.
Jiang Xue remained silent as she bathed the two children. Seeing that Ji Chen was not speaking and was smoking one cigarette after another, she didn't want to disturb him.
Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't speak, Ji Chen stepped forward and helped her wipe Shao Heng's body. "Are you still angry with Huang Yinyin?"
His tone was full of self-reproach.
Jiang Xue was a little surprised. Why wasn't he angrily questioning her? When did he become so polite and refined? It was a bit unusual for her.
Ji Chen frowned slightly as he noticed Jiang Xue staring at him in surprise. "You're not angry with Huang Yinyin?"
Ji Chen's gloomy face finally relaxed.
Jiang Xue widened her eyes and said, "Why should I be angry with her? It's not worth it."
Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Xue's words, and even raised the corners of his mouth, smiling smugly.
He thought Jiang Xue was angry, which is why he went to find Sun Ze'an. Now he knows that Jiang Xue went to the factory with Sun Ze'an simply because she had something to do.
"Do you believe what she says?" Jiang Xue stared at Ji Chen with a probing look.
Ji Chen was taken aback. "Why don't you believe me?"
His words came out off the cuff without any thought.
Jiang Xue's dramatic transformation, her fluency in English, her business acumen, and her ability to analyze situations—things that a rural woman could never achieve—there's only one possibility.
Just as Huang Yinyin said, the body inhabited by this person was not the Jiang Xue of the past at all.
"What did you tell Huang Yinyin?" Jiang Xue smiled secretly, thinking that it wouldn't matter even if Ji Chen knew.
For some reason, she always felt that since she had chosen him, she should trust him unconditionally.
A good partner can truly alleviate the common suffering in the world.
"I said everything you know was taught to you by me."
After Ji Chen finished speaking, his deep eyes shone as he looked at Jiang Xue, and finally he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even Jiang Xue was speechless for a moment, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You're shameless."
"You have no shame. How can I smooth things over for you?"
As Jiang Xue smiled, a tear slid down her cheek. She hadn't misjudged either Gu Xiaoling or Ji Chen.
Sun Ze'an wasn't mistaken, but it seemed that whether she saw it wrong or not was no longer relevant to her.
