Jiang Xue sneered, "Abusing your daughter will eventually bring retribution; you'll end up with hemiplegia."
Gu Xiaoling and Aunt Zhou were startled and stood up abruptly.
Gu Xiaoling ran up and grabbed Jiang Xue's hand, "Don't think too much about it. At worst, we can just pay someone to take care of her."
Aunt Zhou also took Jiang Xue's hand and comforted her, "Yes, birth, aging, sickness and death are all part of life. Don't take it too seriously. Besides, you are a married woman, so just give some money."
Jiang Xue shook her head. "I didn't think that much about it. It's just that if I give any money to my family, it'll be a bottomless pit. They'll use Xie Chunmei to keep extorting me."
Gu Xiaoling and Aunt Zhou exchanged a glance and sighed.
“That possibility definitely exists, and you’ll have to suffer a bit. What do you plan to do?” Aunt Zhou asked with concern.
"It's alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way." Jiang Xue's eyes were firm; she refused to believe that the family could find fault with her.
As they talked, Gu Xiaoling remembered the Jingyuan Grand Hotel incident.
"Boss, Zhao Qian from Jingyuan Hotel came looking for you."
Jiang Xue was puzzled. Didn't President Wang want her to give some advice or something? Why was it Zhao Qian who came to see her? And Zhao Qian clearly didn't get along with her. What was she doing here?
"Did she come alone?" Jiang Xue asked, a little curious.
"No, Ms. Sun's mother was with her too."
Sun Ze'an's mother? The second-in-command of the management bureau? Coming to see me? Could she be here to cause trouble?
Jiang Xue was filled with questions and apprehension. The day hadn't gone smoothly, and she was afraid that something dramatic would happen to her.
However, speak of Cao Cao and he appears.
"Teacher Sun, you're off work?" Aunt Zhou greeted Sun Ze'an politely from the doorway.
When Jiang Xue heard that Sun Ze'an had arrived, her whole body went numb. Did this guy follow her? How did he know she was coming?
"Teacher Sun is really persistent. She comes here every day at this time to see if Jiang Xue has gone to the city...tsk tsk..." Gu Xiaoling shook her head and complained.
Faced with Gu Xiaoling's complaints, Sun Ze'an smiled without saying a word and politely asked, "Hello, did your boss come over today?"
Gu Xiaoling didn't answer, but her bright black eyes were fixed on the corner of the shop.
Sun Ze'an smiled knowingly and walked straight into the store, where he saw Jiang Xue sitting on the sofa with a wound on her leg.
His heart tightened, and he frowned, asking Jiang Xue seriously, "What happened to you? How did you get hurt like this?"
Jiang Xue hurriedly tried to cover herself with her clothes, otherwise Sun Ze'an's nagging would go on for who knows how long. What she feared most was that this guy would go to the countryside and bring things to see her.
She had already been subjected to a lot of criticism because of Chen Xiaofan, and she didn't want to become a celebrity in the village because of this.
"It's no use trying to cover it up. Have you gone to the hospital?"
Sun Ze'an's urgent concern made Jiang Xue a little flustered. "I'm fine, just a minor scratch."
Sun Ze'an frowned. "You're always like this, always bearing everything on your own. How about I take you to the hospital?"
"I've been to the hospital."
Jiang Xue waved her hand, repeatedly refusing.
Besides concern, Sun Ze'an's eyes also showed disappointment. He could sense Jiang Xue's rejection and aversion towards him.
"Okay, as long as you're alright. I didn't come here for anything else, but based on the imported machines, my team and I developed a new type of electric sewing machine that we talked about before. I'd like you to help me try it out. When we start mass production, I'll send you a few units."
Sun Ze'an glanced at Jiang Xue casually.
Jiang Xue's eyes widened, her mind in complete turmoil. This guy was going to give her money again? Oh my god!
