After hearing this, Xu Jiang couldn't help but say angrily, "If someone is being so attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!"
Thinking of Song Qiao's life story, Xu Jiang became increasingly angry. "Mrs. Lu left all her life long ago and didn't care about Song Qiao at all. Now she's hoping to sell her off to enrich herself. Is there any mother like this in the world?"
Thinking of Song Qiao's expression when he mentioned his life story, Xu Jiang felt a dull pain in her heart, "I can't let her succeed."
Being abandoned by his own mother is already bitter and miserable enough. If he is pushed into the fire pit by his own mother again, what else can Song Qiao want in this life?
Hu Xu said, "As long as I'm here, I won't let her get what she wants."
Xu Jiang glanced at him, "Where's Song Qiao? How is she?"
"She is determined and has not been deceived by Madam Lu, but she is still upset."
"What about Uncle Song? Does he know about this?"
"Uncle Song is in the mountains, Song Qiao must have kept it a secret from him."
"We can't hide this from him." Xu Jiang frowned. "This isn't just Song Qiao's problem. If it's true as you just said, if Song Qiao is entangled by the Lu family, it will endanger not only her personal safety, but also the safety of the Song family."
Hu Xu nodded, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'll go find him in the mountains later."
Then he asked Lou Yunchun, "Brother Lou knows the pros and cons of this matter best. What are your thoughts?"
Lou Yunchun pondered for a moment, then asked an unexpected question, "Who is this Miss Song to you?"
Hu Xu was stunned.
Xu Jiang was about to speak when Lou Yunchun stopped her. Then she understood and asked Hu Xu, "Zhu Chun, what exactly do you think of Song Qiao?"
If he could figure it out, this matter would be easy to handle.
Hu Xu was silent for a moment, "I thought you knew, Boss."
"I know, but do you know it yourself? Does Song Qiao know it?" Xu Jiang frowned and said, "Zhu Chun, if you always hesitate, you will not only miss important opportunities, but also miss important people."
Hu Xu stared at Xu Jiang and the bookstore behind her, and suddenly recalled the snowy night when Xu Jiang "ferryed the fish across". He was attacked by the wind and snow, and his heart was filled with despair and coldness.
At this time, Lou Yunchun took a step towards Xu Jiang.
Hu Xu's gaze fell on Lou Yunchun's face again, and he suddenly understood the real gap between him and him.
It’s not family background, status, or talent, but courage.
Lou Yunchun is a person who does not know how to retreat and will not retreat, especially to Xu Jiang, so he can stand by his side.
Hu Xu took a deep breath and said, "I admire Song Qiao. She is the one I like."
He was once hesitant to move forward because he failed the imperial examination three times, and he was also timid because of his status and position, and he did not have the courage and guts to fight for the person he loved.
If he hesitates any longer and misses Song Qiao, he will make no progress and take the imperial examination in vain. Not only will he disappoint his employer and other teachers, but he will also disappoint himself.
Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun looked at each other and then smiled.
It is really not easy to get Hu Xu to be frank for once.
"Hey, Brother Hu, you finally got it!" A voice exploded behind him, shocking several people.
Hu Xu turned around and saw a figure rushing towards him, then hugging his shoulders and slapping him hard on the back, almost making him feel his heart jump out.
Xu Jiang looked at Shopkeeper Wang in surprise, "Brother, where did you come from?"
When Shopkeeper Wang came back from delivering rice, he saw the three of them chatting happily in front of Xu Jiang's bookstore, so he wanted to sneak over to eavesdrop, but he didn't expect to hear Hu Xu's true confession, so he couldn't help but yell.
"If I don't come, how can you hear my brother Hu's voice?"
Hu Xu's face flushed with embarrassment, and then he said, "Although I have feelings for her, I still don't know what she feels."
He knew that Song Qiao treated him differently from others, but he always felt that she was distant from him, seemingly affectionate yet also heartless, making it difficult for him to understand.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiang and Shopkeeper Wang both looked at him as if he were a blind man.
Xu Jiang asked, "Zhuchun, do you know what it means when a woman gives a man flowers?"
"Leave it to you fragrant grass, and carry your lovesickness..." Hu Xu paused, and suddenly thought of the withered white rib fragrant mountain, and his heart trembled violently.
