"I received your message, you can leave now." The colleagues in the warehouse kept looking this way, which was disturbing Xiang Jin's work. She just wanted the two of them to leave quickly.
"Ah Jin..." Lin Miaomiao looked pitiful.
"You two... are classmates?" Sister Ding, who had been curious for a long time, finally had a chance to interject. These two were dressed fashionably and looked like people from the upper class. How could they be classmates with Xiang Jin?
“Yes, we were classmates in college, we were roommates,” Lin Miaomiao said.
"University? Xiang Jin, you went to university?" Sister Ding was even more surprised.
“Of course, although she didn’t finish her studies, A-Jin was a very popular figure at school! A genius girl in the design department, the most beautiful girl in the department, many people wanted to pursue her but couldn’t.” Lin Miaomiao smiled faintly, but it made Xiang Jin frown.
"Wow, that's amazing! Xiang Jin, what a waste of your talent to work here!" Sister Ding exclaimed, expressing her regret.
"Well..."
“Ah Jin has been to prison and has just been released, so…” Lin Miaomiao hesitated, looking like she was considering her friend’s feelings, but she had already said everything she needed to say.
Sister Ding was stunned, and she looked at Xiang Jin in surprise.
Most of the people in the warehouse heard it and turned to look in their direction.
"Jail? For what reason?" Sister Ding suddenly felt uneasy. If it was for murder and arson...
Xiang Jin gripped her chopsticks tightly.
Lin Miaomiao, standing beside her, said casually, "It's not a serious crime. It's just drunk driving that killed someone. Ajin's family runs a listed company. They're rich. They can settle it for a mere few hundred thousand."
A mere few hundred thousand dollars, and you think you can settle this? A human life is just going to be brushed aside like that?
Everyone's expressions were grim, and their gazes towards Xiang Jin became even more hostile. Lin Miaomiao suddenly realized something: "What? You didn't know? Oh my god, Xiang Jin, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to reveal your privacy..."
She looked surprised and regretful, and it was all very genuine.
Xiang Jin closed his eyes.
That's enough, there's no need to act anymore.
She quickly wrote a note and handed it to Lin Miaomiao: "Do you really want to apologize?"
"Of course, Ah Jin, it's more real than real gold! I really didn't mean it just now, you were so good to me in college..."
"Then kneel down."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiang Jin wrote another note: "I want to see just how genuine this sincerity, which is more real than real gold, really is."
Lin Miaomiao looked at the note with an embarrassed expression.
She never intended to apologize; she only wanted to take this opportunity to ridicule Xiang Jin, but unexpectedly, she ended up in an awkward situation.
"Ah Jin, this might not be a good idea... If you kneel down, people will have opinions about you. Besides, can you really bear to make me kneel?" Lin Miaomiao's eyes reddened, and she felt very aggrieved.
"Heartless," Xiang Jin wrote.
"you--"
"Xiang Jin, what kind of attitude is this? Miao Miao came all the way here to apologize to you, why won't you accept it? Besides, you're the one who killed someone and went to jail, and you won't even let others talk about it?" Ke Yuyan couldn't stand it anymore and stood in front of Lin Miao Miao.
"What's it to you?" Xiang Jin retorted, writing on a note.
"you--"
Ke Yuyan was furious: "You're so arrogant just because you have the Xiang family backing you up, but do you think they'll listen to you? Xiang Jin, don't think too highly of yourself. Heaven is watching what people do, be careful you don't get your comeuppance!"
"I'll give you the same words." Xiang Jin stuffed the note into her arms, then ignored the two of them and turned to move the goods.
Ke Yuyan's face turned red with anger.
Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Miaomiao pulled Ke Yuyan towards the warehouse exit, saying things like, "Yanyan, you have to be patient. We can't afford to offend the Xiang family." Ke Yuyan became even angrier after hearing this.
"Would I, the dignified Miss Ke, be afraid of her?"
“It’s not that we’re afraid, but she’s our classmate. We should be more understanding of her. The Xiang family is more powerful than the Ke family now, and she used to always be one step ahead of you…” The more Lin Miaomiao tried to persuade her, the angrier she became. Her anger surged to her head, and she couldn’t think straight. Ke Yuyan picked up a package from the ground and threw it directly at Xiang Jin’s head.
"Bang!"
Xiang Jin was engrossed in moving the goods and didn't notice the danger that was about to strike. The package hit her directly on the head. Her mind went blank, her vision began to blur, and she lost her balance and fell to her knees.
……………………
When Xiang Jin got home, it was almost nine o'clock.
As the door opened, a cold, eerie voice suddenly rang out: "Why are you so late?"
It was rare that he got home before her again. Lately, he always seemed to be home before her, which greatly reduced the time she had to cook.
"Sorry, I'll go cook right now." Xiang Jin hurried to the kitchen.
"What happened to her head?" Feng Jianian's gaze was fixed on her right ear, where there was a conspicuous piece of gauze wrapped around it, with blood seeping out faintly.
"It's nothing, I just bumped into something." Xiang Jin continued walking towards the kitchen, but a pair of hands grabbed her and led her to the living room.
"Jianian, I'm really okay."
Seeing that he kept staring at her wound, she quickly explained in sign language, "I already applied medicine at work, so it doesn't hurt."
Because large items are frequently moved in the warehouse, injuries happen from time to time, so medicine for treating external injuries is always kept on hand. Sister Ding is also a caring person, and the entire disinfection process didn't cause her any discomfort, so thankfully, everything was fine.
"Who did this?" Feng Jianian's brows furrowed coldly.
"It was my own carelessness."
"You'll bump your ear on it?" he bluntly exposed her lie.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I don't want to dwell on it anymore, Jia Nian." After gesturing, she turned and went into the kitchen.
At that moment, Xiang Jin's phone, which was on the coffee table, lit up.
The old-fashioned phone had no password, and Feng Jianian saw the text message at a glance. It was from Bai Ningshuang: Damn it! Ke Yuyan hurt you? That bitch, I even considered her a classmate, how could she be so shameless! Wait for me, I'll definitely get revenge for you someday…
Ke Yuyan.
Feng Jianian tapped the armrest of the sofa, a cold glint appearing in his deep eyes.
Xiang Jin cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Feng Jianian stared at the bowl of noodles, but hesitated to pick up his chopsticks.
"What's wrong? Do you like it?"
"Aqi, you seem to really like this noodle dish. Also, could you cook it spicy for me next time?" Spicy, savory, and salty are flavors he can accept. This kind of bland, health-oriented noodle dish, although it tastes exceptionally good after she cooks it, doesn't interest him.
“You have a sensitive stomach, so you should eat less spicy food.” She said earnestly in sign language.
"But Ah Qi, I'll die if I don't eat spicy food." He's been eating it for decades, and it's really hard for him to give it up.
"How about I add some chili for you?"
Tomato noodles with chili peppers? What kind of food is that? But he could give it a try, since he was starving and had no choice but to make do.
"Okay, add some chili." He pushed the bowl towards her and continued thinking about his own things.
