These heartfelt words moved Xu Jiang. This misfortune she had suffered was indeed a lesson for her.
How many people warned, reminded, and told her not to get involved in these things, but human weaknesses become weaknesses because they are difficult to overcome.
If it happened again, she would still remind Yuan Zuzhi that he bought a fake book, would still resist the bullying of Jisheng Bookstore, would still help Jiang Gu and Zeng Zhui, would still run around for Du Hui, and would still stand in front of Mu Congye.
So she couldn't avoid the stone because she was the one who threw it at her.
She is the reincarnation of her master, inheriting his skills as well as his unyielding character.
It is human nature and the outcome is predetermined, just as Hu Xu just said about cause and effect.
She shook her head at Hu Xu and said, "It's unavoidable now."
Whether for herself, the bookstore, or her relatives and friends, she cannot avoid it.
Hu Xu sighed inwardly. He had worked in this bookstore before and knew how important it was to Xu Jiang. However, he also knew that Xu Jiang valued personal connections. Wasn't it for this reason that he received her encouragement?
He stared at the bruise on Xu Jiang's forehead and warned, "Be careful."
Xu Jiang nodded, "Yes."
"Happy Dragon Boat Festival." May you be healthy for the rest of your life.
Xu Jiang said goodbye calmly, "You too."
Hu Xu walked out of the alley and came face to face with Lou Yunchun.
Lou Yunchun knew where he came from without having to think about it.
The two of them greeted each other politely.
Hu Xu asked, "Is there any news about Zhao Xiu?"
Lou Yunchun replied: "Soon."
"What about Feng Miao?"
"I can't escape."
Hu Xu nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Bees and wasps are poisonous and should not be taken lightly. This incident serves as a warning and a lesson."
Thinking of Xu Jiang being hit, Lou Yunchun clenched his hand tighter in his heart, "As long as we catch him, we won't give him the chance to harm others again."
"It's not just him. You and I have both witnessed the dangers of factional strife. Frame-ups, murder, and silencing witnesses are all forms of ruthless behavior. Now that they've been cornered, who knows what ruthless tactics they'll resort to. She's too close to you, and there's no guarantee she won't be coerced into taking advantage of you. You must remain vigilant."
Hu Xu paused and continued, "We were able to avoid any danger this time because it happened suddenly. If they had deliberately planned this, the outcome would have been unpredictable."
Thinking of Xu Jiang's importance to the bookstore and her current situation, Hu Xu felt uneasy.
"She had come to the capital after going through untold hardships, spending all her savings and pouring all her energy into opening this bookstore. All she wanted, all she desired, was a place to call home. And no one could give her such a place except herself."
Finally, Hu Xu said, "Don't let her end up with nothing."
Lou Yunchun and Hu Xu exchanged glances. How could he not know what Hu Xu was talking about? If Xu Jiang were an ordinary woman, he would have taken her into his mansion and settled her properly.
But she is not.
She looks docile, but in fact she is as strong as a man. She has experienced many ups and downs, but she is not afraid and refuses to be controlled by others.
Even if it's him.
Lou Yunchun bowed to Hu Xu and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I will be careful and take precautions."
Hu Xu quickly returned the greeting, "I'm only saying this to show my gratitude to my friend. Please forgive me if I'm being rude."
"It's a heartfelt statement, why would it be so abrupt?"
Hu Xu felt relieved and smiled as he shook the rice dumplings in his hand. "The boss's rice dumplings are ready. Let's go quickly."
"Good going."
"Goodbye."
The two men bowed and said goodbye.
Lou Yunchun followed the scent of zongzi and headed home.
