"Later, my mother was dragged back. By then, she had already given birth to me. I guess she couldn't bear to part with me, so she secretly ran back from the other family she was supposed to marry into. After that, people from that family would come and make trouble every few days. It was from that time that my mother's personality became very strange, which affected my younger sister and Ji Dong a bit."
Jiang Xue felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow upon hearing this. She had never imagined that such a shrewish person had such a heartbreaking story behind her.
"Forget it, what's past is past. Let's not hold grudges against Liu Aiyue anymore," Jiang Xue said, pulling Ji Chen along.
Jiang Xue recalled Liu Aiyue's initial unreasonable behavior. She wondered if she could treat her well in the future, at least Liu Aiyue wouldn't hate her as much as before.
Ji Chen saw the pity in Jiang Xue's eyes. "Everyone's fate is different. We just need to live our own lives. Let's go back."
Jiang Xue nodded and sat on the back of Ji Chen's bicycle. "I need to go to my rented apartment. I have something to do with Xiao Ling. Why don't you go back first?"
Ji Chen suddenly slammed on the brakes, startling Jiang Xue so much that she grabbed him and hugged him tightly.
She turned to the side, somewhat confused as to why Ji Chen had suddenly braked so hard, especially since there were few cars on the road. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Ji Chen replied coldly to Jiang Xue. He was extremely displeased. Why was Jiang Xue still cutting ties with him even after all that? He felt incredibly disgusted.
However, he didn't say anything and took Jiang Xue to her rented apartment.
Before they even entered the residential area, Chen Xiaofan blocked Gu Xiaoling's way.
Jiang Xue's brows furrowed instantly. "What are you doing?"
Chen Xiaofan turned around abruptly and saw Jiang Xue standing safely in front of him. "I thought something had happened to you. I was so scared. I even went to your house, but I couldn't find you anywhere."
Jiang Xue smiled helplessly: "If I had nothing to do, why would the shops and factories be closed?"
Chen Xiaofan frowned, wanting to show concern but also appearing at a loss.
“I know you mean well, but you can’t bother Xiaoling just because you care. If people see you blocking her like this, they’ll think you’re bullying her.”
Seeing Jiang Xue's earnest admonition, Chen Xiaofan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
Although it was an extremely ordinary thing, in Ji Chen's eyes it was a flirtatious act, and he was very unhappy about it.
Jiang Xue was still there explaining things to Gu Xiaoling when Ji Chen gestured to Chen Xiaofan to go over.
Chen Xiaofan wasn't stupid; he didn't just go over there when told to. He gave Ji Chen a cold glance, as if to say, "Who are you?"
Ji Chen was quite annoyed by Chen Xiaofan's gaze. He had finally gotten rid of Sun Ze'an, a rival, and now Chen Xiaofan had appeared. How could Jiang Xue have such great charm?
“Mr. Chen, I’d like to discuss the new construction site in the west with you?” Ji Chen’s voice was somewhat casual this time, but it carried a kind of intimidating power that Jiang Xue could feel even with her back to him.
Chen Xiaofan had only recently taken on a small subcontract from the construction site in the west. He knew that Ji Chen was also there, but what he didn't know was that the job of tiling the roads in the community was subcontracted by Ji Chen's company because they didn't have enough manpower. This meant that the man in front of him was his client.
