When Zhu Qiang heard Li Mingxi say this, he knew that she didn't want to say it. Since she didn't want to say it, he simply didn't ask.
Li Mingxi felt relieved when Zhu Qiang stopped asking questions. If these two people knew about his small business, he would definitely fail.
The three of them walked together until they reached a fork in the road.
Li Mingxi pointed to the main road and said, "Well, it's nothing. I'll leave first."
Huo Jingchen glanced at Li Mingxi without saying anything. Instead, Zhu Qiang smiled and replied, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. Bye!"
Then, Li Mingxi rode his bike away.
Zhu Qiang watched Li Mingxi's back gradually disappear from his sight, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. "Captain, this is truly fate. I never thought this little girl would even know Chen Ming's family."
Huo Jingchen stared at Li Mingxi's figure disappearing on the road, said nothing, and walked straight ahead.
When Zhu Qiang saw Huo Jingchen leaving him, he didn't even bother to sigh.
He quickly followed Huo Jingchen, shouting as he chased him, "Hey, Boss, wait for me!"
Because of their military status, Zhu Qiang usually calls Huo Jingchen "Boss" when they are outside to avoid suspicion.
Huo Jingchen walked faster when he heard him call him "boss".
Zhu Qiang saw that he couldn't catch up with him from behind, and he was really confused. How did he offend him?
So, while chasing Huo Jingchen, he muttered, "Boss, how did I offend you?"
Then, the look in the little girl's eyes flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood that the captain was jealous.
"Boss, I get it. Are you jealous because that little girl only praised me and not you?"
Zhu Qiang thought about the look Huo Jingchen had just given him, and suddenly realized something.
He has followed the captain for so many years, but this is the first time he sees him angry because of a little girl. Could it be that the captain is really tempted by worldly desires this time?
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiang laughed out loud.
When Huo Jingchen heard Zhu Qiang say that he was jealous, he felt disdainful and turned to look at him.
Unexpectedly, the man had a wicked smile on his face, which made him even more angry. He said directly, "Shut up and stop laughing."
Seeing that the captain was angry, Zhu Qiang didn't dare to say anything and quickly ran a few steps to catch up with him.
Seeing that he was quiet, Huo Jingchen led him forward.
The two walked like this for a while, and Zhu Qiang whispered, "Boss, you said we have lived in this county for so long, but Brother Bin still hasn't shown up. Could it be that he has already shipped the things out?"
Hearing Zhu Qiang dare to say this in public, Huo Jingchen was furious, "Shut up, if you really don't want that mouth of yours, then I'll cut it off for you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Jingchen's ears finally became quiet, and he began to think about what to do next.
On this side, after Li Mingxi and Huo Jingchen separated, they went straight to the county textile factory.
Because he had just stayed at Chen Kangdao's house for a while, when Li Mingxi arrived at the textile factory, it was lunch time for the workers, so it didn't take much effort to find Dong Sisi.
Dong Sisi was extremely happy when she saw Li Mingxi.
She held Li Mingxi's hand and complained, "Xiaoxi, how long has it been since you last came to see me? These past two days, I was wondering if something happened to you and that's why you didn't come. Who knew that as soon as I thought of you, you would come!"
Li Mingxi felt a little embarrassed by her bestie's complaints. "Hey, you know something happened in my family a while ago, so I didn't have time to come see you. Now I come whenever I have time!"
Dong Sisi naturally knew about what happened to Li Mingxi's cousin some time ago. It seemed that Li Mingxi was busy with this matter at home during this period!
Thinking of this, she sighed, "I also heard about your cousin's incident some time ago. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, otherwise I really don't know what she would be like now."
When Li Mingxi heard Dong Sisi talking about what happened to Sister Dani some time ago, he took the opportunity to inquire about it.
"Sisi, come to think of it, do you know why that guy has such a good relationship with my cousin?"
Dong Sisi glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. She turned her head towards Li Mingxi and said softly, "The factory doesn't allow us to talk about that matter. I asked them, but no one told me."
Li Mingxi had guessed this would happen long ago. With such a major incident, martial law would definitely be imposed.
At this moment, after hearing Dong Sisi say this, Li Mingxi no longer held out hope.
Unexpectedly, Dong Sisi's voice rang in her ears again, "But I heard that Xiu Li seems to have a very difficult life. Not having parents is one thing, but her relatives are always looking for trouble with her. You say, a person like that, there is no way she can be that person!"
Dong Sisi didn't have to say it explicitly, Li Mingxi knew what she meant.
But no matter how miserable this person's experience was, it cannot be an excuse for her to become a spy.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi spoke directly, "That's not the way to say it. After all, there's a saying that goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart."
Dong Sisi nodded, "That's what you said."
Then she complained aloud, "Hey, my dad came to see me again recently!"
When Li Mingxi heard Dong Sisi's words, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Why did your dad come to see you again? Is there something wrong?"
In recent years, Dong Sisi has had little contact with her family, so when Li Mingxi heard Dong Sisi say this, he was a little nervous.
Dong Sisi sighed, "He said that Zhang Peng broke up with me last time, so he wanted to find me a better one. It just so happened that my stepmother's nephew was about my age, so he wanted me to go and see him."
"So what do you do?"
Li Mingxi thought that since Dong's father had come to see her, if she didn't go, someone would definitely say that Dong Sisi was unfilial and disobedient.
Nowadays, although marriage and love are free, everyone believes that filial piety comes first. If someone is not filial to his parents, he will definitely be gossiped about behind his back.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi looked at Dong Sisi worriedly.
Dong Sisi soothed him, "Oh, you look so anxious. If he asks me to go, will I go? I said I won't get married in the future. No one can force me to do anything, right?"
Li Mingxi thought so too. The leader also said that marriage and love are free.
Then, Li Mingxi thought of the conspiracies and intrigues in the novels he had read in his previous life and began to speak.
"Sisi, even though that's what they say, you still have to be careful. You're afraid they might try some shady tricks, like drugging you or ruining your reputation."
Dong Sisi didn't think about what Li Mingxi said. She just thought that she would never go there no matter what, but ignored this point.
After hearing what Li Mingxi said, she remembered that her stepmother, who looked sweet on the outside but had a bitter heart, might really use some shady tricks based on Xu Fang's behavior.
So, she promised, "Okay, don't worry, I will pay attention and will definitely not be tricked by her."
Li Mingxi was still very worried when he saw Dong Sisi like this.
