To stop her from overthinking, Xiang Jin asked Zhou Zhou to take her for a walk around the area.
There was a golf course right next door, and inside there was a billiards room, a video-on-demand room, and a wine cellar of more than 100 square meters on the second basement floor... Even though Xiang Jin grew up in the not-so-poor Xiang family, he was still wide-eyed with amazement.
For dinner, we had foie gras and steak, and Romanée-Conti for drinks. Xiang Jin wasn't interested in alcohol, so they poured her a glass of milk instead.
During the meal, a large line of people stood there to serve her, and she almost suffered from indigestion.
After dinner, she went back to her room to pack her things and discovered that her wardrobe was filled with designer clothes, all in her size. Her walk-in closet also contained matching bags and shoes in various styles—it was practically a collection of luxury goods.
Xiang Jin only picked out one set of simple and elegant pajamas, and didn't touch the others.
When Xiang Jin left for work in the morning, she still wore the shirt she brought with her and tied her hair in a simple ponytail before going downstairs.
"Madam, driver Xiao Liu will take you to your workplace later." While eating breakfast, Butler Feng pointed to a man standing next to her.
"No need, I can take the bus myself," Xiang Jin wrote, indicating that she didn't like to trouble others.
Butler Feng was stunned.
The lady wants to take the bus by herself? That won't do.
"It's like this, Madam. This area is quite remote, there are no buses, and even taxis are rare. Besides, it's a long way to your workplace, so you're likely to be late," Butler Feng said gently.
Xiang Jin fell silent.
"Then I won't come back tonight. I'll stay in Fengjia Village instead." Although this place is wonderful in every way, she doesn't feel comfortable living here and wants to go back.
"Madam, the young master specifically instructed that you stay here when he went on his business trip," Butler Feng said with some difficulty.
Xiang Jin sighed inwardly, "Alright, I'll drive you there."
An hour later, the luxury car worth millions stopped on the street near the warehouse. Xiang Jin quickly told Xiao Liu to stop the car and walked over herself. She didn't want her colleagues to see her and spread rumors.
“Madam, please contact me when you get off work, and I will come to pick you up,” Xiao Liu said.
Xiang Jin nodded and strode towards the warehouse.
"Xiangjin, what's wrong? You look like you've lost your soul. Did you have a fight with your husband?" During the lunch break, Sister Ding pulled her aside and asked.
Xiang Jin shook her head: "I'm fine, Sister Ding. I'm just a little tired because my cold hasn't fully healed yet."
"Then you should rest at home. Your health is important."
Xiang Jin wrote: "Okay."
When everyone was leaving get off work, they would go out in groups of three or five to catch the bus. Xiang Jin waited until everyone had left before quietly walking to the luxury car by the roadside. When no one was paying attention, he quickly opened the door and got in.
Back at the lakeside villa, a golden retriever suddenly pounced on us, carrying a frisbee in its mouth and wagging its tail.
Xiang Jin was startled and instinctively took a step back. The golden retriever kept passing the frisbee to her, acting as enthusiastic as could be.
Is he trying to play with her?
Xiang Jin picked up the frisbee and threw it onto the lawn outside.
The golden retriever darted out, quickly caught it, and handed it to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin laughed, then patted her head. The dog stretched its neck out long, licking her hand in an adorable manner, begging Xiang Jin to continue.
"Canna, this is Madam, don't be so rude." Zhou Zhou stepped forward and touched Canna. Canna shook her head unhappily, ran to hug Xiang Jin's leg, and insisted that Xiang Jin touch her.
"Oh, you're quite clever, knowing who to hug to make things work. You used to hug the young master, but now you have a new favorite?"
"Woof woof!" The canna lily barked twice, rolled its eyes at Zhou Zhou, and continued to rub against Xiang Jin for a pet.
"Madam, the canna lily seems to really like you."
She sensed it; the dog was being almost too enthusiastic towards her.
"Raised by Murong Xiao?" Xiang Jin gestured, sensing that he wouldn't name someone like "Canna indica".
“It was a gift from the young master’s younger brother, and he also named it. The young master has been raising it for almost three years.” Zhou Zhou led the dog inside. “The food is ready, let’s go eat.”
With the canna lilies around, Xiang Jin seemed much happier.
After dinner, she walked the dog in the garden, playing with it everywhere. The canna lily was very clever; when it got tired, it knew to pretend to limp, and when it wanted snacks, it knew to act cute, which pleased Xiang Jin very much.
With it around, life doesn't seem so hard to get through.
……………………
After staying at the villa for a week, Xiang Jin didn't see Murong Xiao, but instead received a "bomb".
Guan Ming and Zhang Xiaofu are getting married.
Those who received the invitations were speechless with astonishment as they looked at the red bombs in their hands.
"Damn, when did you two get together? Guan Ming, aren't you dating Xiang Jin—" Xie Fangfang realized she had said the wrong thing halfway through her sentence and quickly covered her mouth.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
"Hey, well... I'm pregnant." Zhang Xiaofu coughed, her face instantly turning red.
Holy crap!
"What the hell?!"
…………
Under everyone's interrogation, Zhang Xiaofu finally told the truth. Previously, Guan Ming had been heartbroken after his breakup with Xiang Jin and often went out to drink. Zhang Xiaofu would go with him to drink and scold him to wake him up. Who knew that one time when they were both drunk, they ended up having sex without realizing it.
Since they are both adults, after discussing it, they decided to pretend nothing had happened, but it was still a little awkward to see each other at work.
Later, Zhang Xiaofu became pregnant.
She originally wanted to have an abortion secretly, but Guan Ming found out. Guan Ming said he was willing to take responsibility, and the two quickly discussed the wedding date with their families, and that's how the matter was settled.
"Wow, that's fast... But it seems he only got married for the sake of the child. Are you happy about it?" Sister Ding nudged Xie Fangfang, who immediately shut up.
"Of course I'd love to, because I like him."
Even if he likes someone else, I'm willing to wait. I refuse to believe I can't win back his heart!
Sister Ding gave a thumbs up: "Impressive, commendable courage."
Xiang Jin also sincerely wished them a happy marriage and a long and happy life together.
"Thank you. However, because of my pregnancy, I will be leaving my job at the end of this month. Everyone, please come to our wedding! Bring your families, no one can be left out!" Zhang Xiaofu looked at Xiang Jin, "Especially Xiang Jin."
"Speaking of which, we've never met your husband before. You have to bring him to the wedding!" Zhang Xiaofu thought to herself, "She could refuse someone as outstanding as Guan Ming. I wonder how good her husband must be."
Taking this opportunity, she wanted to make Guan Ming give up completely, and also to compete with Xiang Jin.
In her eyes, Guan Ming was already a rare catch, and she had heard that Xiang Jin's husband was just a factory worker, so he seemed quite ordinary.
Xiang Jin was somewhat embarrassed.
“He’s very busy and has been working overtime lately, so he probably can’t come,” she wrote.
"Big sister, even if you have to take leave, you have to bring him along!"
"Yes, Xiangjin, everyone's family members have met each other, but yours hasn't. Bring them out to meet everyone!" Xie Fangfang chimed in.
Xiang Jin forced a smile: "I'll try my best."
After all, she couldn't persuade Murong Xiao to come.
Zhang Xiaofu took it as a yes and happily went to chat with the others.
