"What should we do? How do we return this to her?"
Director Li didn't think there was anything wrong with returning this small amount. A capitalist's daughter must have some wealth. Since she used money to sever their relationship, he should accept it gladly and not feel guilty.
"No need to repay it. We didn't have any special relationship with her to begin with. The young lady repaid the favor in this way, so we gladly accept it. From today onwards, let's pretend we don't know each other. It's better for everyone."
“From now on, watch your mouth. The great upheaval has only just begun. If you don’t want to get involved, don’t say you know any capitalist ladies. Also, hide the contents of this little package well so that no one can find any evidence against you, or none of us will have a good life.”
"No one can predict what changes will happen next. From now on, let's pretend we don't know her. It's the best way for you, me, and her."
The middle-aged woman nodded. In truth, she felt more sympathy than affection for Su Ying; she was heartbroken by the young girl's plight. Since Su Ying had already made her decision, she would gladly accept it.
As the train recedes into the distance, knowing we'll never see each other again, I wish you a safe journey.
On the train.
To stay away from the Xu and Jiang families, Su Ying deliberately took a bag of fruit and swapped places with others to be further away from them.
The Xu and Jiang families, a total of six people, did not go to the countryside normally. They were accompanied by two guards. Even though Jiang Yibo could practically see through Su Ying, he didn't dare to rush up and talk to her.
With two armed men guarding him, he dared not anger anyone, lest the gun accidentally go off and he suffer a greater loss.
He didn't dare approach Su Ying even a step closer, just watching her from afar. Anyone who didn't know better would think Su Ying was the person he deeply loved. To stare at someone for so long was truly... speechless.
The two guards didn't give them a chance to get close to Su Ying at all.
Su Ying decided to ignore it and went to sleep. Their fate was so unlucky; they had to leave on the same bus. Couldn't Director Li have been more flexible?
Actually, she knew very well that Director Li couldn't interfere with things like going to the countryside; she was just grumbling and didn't mean anything by it.
She had been asleep for about half an hour when she was woken up by her rumbling stomach. The moment Su Ying opened her eyes after waking up, she noticed someone staring at her with a menacing look, their eyes practically scalping with malice.
Su Ying shuddered when she saw that pretentious, affectionate look in his eyes; it was disgusting.
With that look in his eyes that even a dog would despise, how dare he look at her like that? He must have tried it on Xu Manli before, thinking it would work every time.
She's not that kind of shallow woman; if it were Gu Sinian, she could accept it.
Shaking her head, which was filled with random thoughts, Su Ying began rummaging through her handbag...
A moment later, he took out the steamed buns he bought at the Peace Hotel from his crossbody bag. He ate five in two bites each, which made the child sitting opposite him cry with envy.
The child kept calling out, "Mommy, I want some too!" The mother smiled sheepishly and said, "The child has a sweet tooth. These buns look delicious. Could you sell us one?"
"It's just a steamed bun, why are you talking about selling it or not?" Su Ying handed the remaining two steamed buns to the young mother.
"There are two left, you can have them both."
The young mother said thank you, but felt a little embarrassed. Everyone was struggling financially, and she couldn't just take things from others for free.
After much hesitation, I took out the zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) I had bought before getting on the bus from my bag and handed them to her.
"These are the rice dumplings I bought before I got on the bus. You should try some."
Su Ying originally wanted to refuse, but the young mother was very firm in her attitude, so she had no choice but to accept it.
But now her stomach is already full of steamed buns, and there's no extra room to put in zongzi.
I had no choice but to put it in my crossbody bag, and the crossbody bag helped keep the rice dumplings fresh.
Let's eat it when we have the chance.
After a full meal, I suddenly needed to use the restroom. "Could you please watch my luggage for me while I go to the bathroom?"
The young mother nodded gently, assuring her that she could go without worry and that she would help watch the luggage.
The little baby sitting opposite her, engrossed in eating a steamed bun, gave her a waving goodbye gesture, which melted Su Ying's heart.
He kept looking back at the baby, but then he didn't watch where he was going and bumped into a pedestrian.
Realizing she had caused trouble, she quickly apologized. When she looked up and saw the person's face clearly, Su Ying's pupils trembled slightly.
What is he doing here?
Isn't this the thug who seriously injured Gu Sinian?
Although it was ten years later, this person was ruthless and almost killed Gu Sinian, who was lucky enough to survive.
With her by my side in this life, I absolutely cannot let him harm Gu Sinian, not even Gu Sinian ten years from now. I must take this opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger and prevent it from harming more people.
If she remembered correctly, the man's name was Cao Zhaohui, a major drug lord living in Yun City, who had come to Shanghai to meet his contact.
