Sitting on the stone bench, Jiang Xue looked at the letter in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This Sun Ze'an didn't understand his mother at all.
Jiang Xue could guess with her toes that Sun's mother absolutely disagreed with Sun Ze'an giving up such a stable job to go into business.
By using underhanded methods to force himself to leave, he was indirectly forcing Sun Ze'an to abandon his idea and return to work at the school.
Jiang Xue had overheard the gatekeeper mention it earlier, and that's how she learned that Sun Ze'an was currently on unpaid leave.
But she was just cannon fodder; Sun Ze'an's decision to go into business wasn't her fault.
Jiang Xue left the school dejectedly and wandered aimlessly through the streets.
Thinking about all those female protagonists who transmigrate and have everything go their way, why is she so unlucky? She sighed with a bit of discouragement at the unfairness of fate.
As I walked, I unknowingly arrived at that sycamore-lined avenue.
A sycamore leaf fell before her eyes, and her tears silently streamed down her face.
She walked straight ahead, aimlessly, without a single relative in sight.
She unknowingly walked to the ground floor of Ji Chen's office. She hesitated and looked up at the open window. As for what Ji Chen was doing upstairs, she certainly had no idea.
She felt empty inside and thought she should leave; men were ultimately unreliable.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, has it?" Gu Xiaohei saw that the figure looked a bit like Jiang Xue from behind, and the way she walked with a limp made him certain that it was Jiang Xue.
"I... was just taking a walk." Jiang Xue quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
Gu Xiaohei wasn't stupid; he noticed Jiang Xue's reddened eyes at a glance.
"Sister-in-law, why are you crying? Tell me who bullied you? Was it your older brother? If he did, I'll beat him up."
Gu Xiaohei's serious expression instantly made Jiang Xue laugh.
"I'm fine, I'll head back now." Jiang Xue forced a smile and waved to Gu Xiaohei.
"stop."
A deep, magnetic voice came from above.
Jiang Xue looked up and saw Ji Chen holding a teacup, looking down at her with a gloomy gaze.
"Come up."
Jiang Xue's mind was buzzing. She couldn't understand why, but she had actually felt a little scared just now because of Ji Chen's appearance.
She had no choice but to obediently follow Gu Xiaohei upstairs. Seeing Ji Chen leaning lazily against the windowsill, she said, "Xiaohei, you go ahead and get busy."
When Jiang Xue saw Gu Xiaohei leave, she didn't know why, but she felt as if the air pressure in the whole room had dropped so low that she could hardly breathe.
Perhaps this time she's really run into trouble. Not only does she not have a way to make money, but what she fears most is that the client will terminate the contract, which would result in a huge loss for her.
The thought of becoming destitute immediately dampened Jiang Xue's spirits.
"I know everything. I'll take you to my uncle's place later." Ji Chen said calmly.
He handed Jiang a cup of hot water, "All you can do when something like this happens is cry?"
Jiang Xue kept her head down, staring at the water in the glass, unsure of what to say.
Ji Chen pulled Jiang Xue into his arms, saying, "You still have me."
Jiang Xue was tightly held in Ji Chen's arms, but her heart remained calm. How could someone who had never even experienced kinship expect to have love? Besides, love was such an ethereal thing, nothing more than a fleeting whim.
