Chapter 5 The Marriage is Cancelled
Xia Qianqian followed the staff into the guesthouse specially prepared for educated youth sent to the countryside.
Just then, the barrage of comments started appearing.
[A memorable scene is coming!]
What famous scene? Xia Qianqian was full of questions. Not long after, someone in the live chat asked her about it, and the person who had spoken earlier kindly began to answer.
The female lead's ex-boyfriend is also here. They'll meet soon, and according to the plot, she'll beg him to let her stay in the city.
Did her ex-boyfriend agree?
Of course not. If he had agreed, how could he have become her ex-boyfriend?
Xia Qianqian was taken aback. She did indeed have a boyfriend, Qin Yan, the only son of the Qin family in Nancheng.
The two had been betrothed since childhood, but the Qin family's development in the military in recent years has been thriving, and their relationship with the Xia family is no longer as close as it used to be.
She pondered that if there were no comments on the screen, and she encountered Qin Yan here, she might actually beg him for mercy. After all, she was also the daughter of the Xia family; who would willingly go to the countryside and marry an old man for no reason?
However, as mentioned in the previous comments, the upcoming movement makes the countryside a good place to go.
Moreover, even if he were to beg Qin Yan, he might not be willing to help, so why should he demean himself like this?
Thinking of this, Xia Qianqian lowered her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the small area in front of her feet, and followed the staff directly to the room assigned to her.
At the other end of the guesthouse was the dining area. Qin Yan caught a glimpse of Xia Qianqian walking in and immediately frowned.
He hadn't expected Xia Qianqian to be so persistent; otherwise, why would she have followed him here when he rarely came to the guesthouse on business?
It's so annoying.
Qin Yan's driver noticed Xia Qianqian and bowed, saying, "Young Master, Miss Xia has arrived. I heard that after the real daughter of the Xia family returned, she was sent back to the countryside."
Seeing Xia Qianqian standing there in a daze, he felt a pang of pity and said softly, "Young Master, since we've met here, shouldn't we say hello to her?"
Look at her slender, thin arms carrying such a huge box; she looks quite pitiful.
After all, the two were once engaged. Although Xia Wenwen is now the one being married, there are still some feelings between them. If the young master is willing to lend a helping hand, she might not have to go to the countryside.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yan's expression turned cold: "Why bother with her?"
Anyway, she'll come close to me on her own after a while; it's always been like this.
He was prepared for her to beg him. If she were to bow her head and willingly stay as his mistress, he might be willing to help her.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Qianqian acted as if she hadn't even seen him, and followed the staff into the passageway next to her.
Wait, could I have made a mistake? Was she not here to see me?
Qin Yan looked at her back with some confusion.
He nodded. That must be it, otherwise she would have pounced on him long ago.
Thinking this, Qin Yan turned his head away disdainfully. It was for the best; he didn't want to see her anyway.
At that moment, the live chat exploded with comments.
[What's going on? Why isn't the female lead going to find Qin Yan? Why is the plot different from before?]
[If he doesn't want to go, he doesn't have to. The male lead is much better than him. I actually hope the female lead and male lead can end up together.]
Looking at these comments, Xia Qianqian thought to herself: Is the male lead they're talking about the old man that Xia Wenwen was originally going to marry?
If everyone says that the older man is better than Qin Yan, why won't Xia Wenwen marry him?
She put her things away while watching the live chat, but the viewers quickly moved on to other things, and after watching for a while without finding anything useful, she had to give up.
There were gold bars in the box, and Xia Qianqian didn't dare to leave the room. Luckily, she had packed a big bag of snacks when she left today, so she could have a bite tonight.
The next morning.
Xia Qianqian was still dreaming when she heard someone calling them to get up. She didn't expect that they would have to leave so soon.
She quickly washed her face and applied some moisturizer. After so many years in the Xia family, skincare had become ingrained in her very being.
After she finished tidying up, she saw more than a dozen people standing in the lobby of the guesthouse.
The same staff member from yesterday took them to the train station, gave them tickets, and said that people from the county revolutionary committee would pick them up after they got off the train.
He also specifically said to Xia Qianqian, "Comrade Xia, the leaders have already informed the comrades in the county about your situation, and they will send you to the village later."
"Thank you so much." Xia Qianqian sincerely thanked them; the Revolutionary Committee had really solved a big problem for her this time.
Once on the train, looking out at the farmland outside the window, Xia Qianqian thought to herself: Is this where I will live in the future?
Just then, a round-faced girl with braids came over and asked, "Which village are you going to?"
Xia Qianqian said, "Xiangyang Village, what about you?"
“That’s great! I’ll go to Willow Village next door. Once I’m settled, I’ll come find you. My name is Li Aiqin.”
“Okay.” Xia Qianqian was worried about having no one to keep her company, so she started chatting with Li Aiqin.
[Tsk tsk, the female lead is really carefree. The male lead is already planning to call off their engagement, and she's still chatting with someone here?]
Then, another barrage of comments appeared in front of me.
What's going on? I haven't even complained about that old man, but he's complaining about me?
Xia Qianqian was a little angry.
Then, she felt a little lost. If she didn't go there, where should she go?
Go back to her biological parents' home? She had never even considered it. Seeing Xia Wenwen's clothes, she knew she wasn't doing well there.
In addition, Xia Wenwen has been reunited with her family for so long, but her own family has not made any move. Her parents have not only not come to pick her up, but have not even sent a letter.
Xia Wenwen said that they got engaged because of the old man's high dowry. She didn't know if Xia Wenwen was telling the truth or not, but she didn't plan to go now. She would wait until she understood the situation before deciding whether to go back to recognize her relatives.
While thinking about this, he chatted with Li Aiqin, and soon the train stopped at the town's train station.
"Qianqian, we're here, get off the bus quickly!" Li Aiqin wanted to help her carry the suitcase, but the suitcase was heavier than she had imagined. If Xia Qianqian hadn't helped her, she would have almost fallen.
Li Aiqin stuck out her tongue a little shyly: "I'd better not cause you any trouble here. I'll get off first and save you a seat."
"Okay." Xia Qianqian nodded, then dragged her suitcase outside.
As soon as she exited the train station, she saw Li Aiqin waving at her.
"here!"
Xia Qianqian was surprised to find that they were picked up by an oxcart.
She looked at her high-heeled sandals with some distress, thinking that she should have bought a pair of cloth shoes first.
Seeing her distress, Li Aiqin assumed she was annoyed by the dirtiness of the oxcart, so she took her own clothes and placed them on the seat.
"Come quick!"
Xia Qianqian thanked her for her kindness and got into the oxcart. At that moment, she heard the jeers.
"Oh, you're complaining about riding in an oxcart? Do you think you're some rich young lady?"
