Jiang Rou didn't know how she got home.
Lin Tao noticed her disheveled hair and her unhappy tone.
"Why are you back so late? Your hair is all messed up. Did you sleep with another man?"
She panicked and made up an excuse to cover it up.
She had originally wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry, but she could only swallow her bitterness in silence.
Faced with Lin Tao's request to sleep with her, she could only give a perfunctory refusal and had no choice but to satisfy him with her hands.
Perhaps, to achieve something great, you have to pay a price.
She thought to herself.
......
Wang Xiufen works very quickly; in half a month, she made fifty cheongsams.
Jiang Ning showed several items to Jack for inspection. He was very satisfied and praised her for being smart and capable, completing her first order so well.
She was given a new one before the order was even finished.
This clearly demonstrates his approval of Jiang Ning's work.
The new order is for a batch of winter Tang suits.
Many Chinese people live abroad, and they often express their longing for their hometown by wearing traditional Chinese clothing and making dumplings during the Spring Festival.
Someone spotted this business opportunity and ordered a batch of winter Tang suits, 10,000 pieces each for men and women.
The goods must be delivered before the Lunar New Year, and must be made of festive red silk, with the finest cotton used inside.
The order price is twelve US dollars.
"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" Jack asked after finishing his work.
A new restaurant has opened nearby, and everyone in the company is talking about it.
In this era, everything abroad is new and exciting.
The trend of worshipping foreign things and fawning over foreigners has also begun to grow wildly like weeds.
For example, Jack didn't require everyone to have a foreign name, but Lucy took the initiative to change her name to his daughter's name.
That's really cunning.
Jiang Ning had no interest in Western food, and even less interest in Jack, so she politely declined.
"Excuse me, I have to go pick up my twins."
"It's amazing that you have twins! I really want to see what they look like. You're so beautiful, they must be adorable," Jack exclaimed, unable to contain his praise.
Jiang Ning forced a smile and shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go."
Her smile vanished as soon as she left the office.
Jack is really persistent.
Doesn't he have a wife and children? How could he still have such inappropriate thoughts about her?
However, when she saw Lucy walk into his office wearing a dress that accentuated her bust, high heels, and bright red lipstick, she understood that because of some people's cheap behavior, he thought that as long as he beckoned, women would follow him.
A short while later, Lucy came out of Jack's office in a fit of rage.
It turned out that she had finally managed to book a table at a Western restaurant, hoping to eat with him, but he had firmly rejected her.
All I can say is that Jack was still picky.
Lucy was furious. Jack actually said that he would consider going if Jiang Ning could go.
She felt furious whenever she saw Jiang Ning.
She deliberately stuck out her foot as Jiang Ning walked past her.
Little did anyone know, Jiang Ning's leather shoes stepped hard on her foot, almost breaking it.
"I'm so sorry, are you alright? Remember not to stick your foot out when someone walks by next time."
Lucy clutched her foot, crying out in pain. Looking at her swollen, red foot, her lips trembled, and she burst into tears.
The others witnessed the whole thing, covered their mouths and chuckled, then lowered their heads and continued working.
She wanted to complain to Jack and seek justice, but considering his attitude just now, she could only swallow her grievances.
......
Jiang Ning picked up her two children and was on her way home.
The kindergarten is only two blocks away from home, just a few minutes' walk away.
After arriving home, she began to bathe her two children.
While taking a shower, Wang Xiufen went out for a stroll, chatted with them for a few minutes, and then went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Lin Chen has been interning at an electric power design institute for the past two days. He brought back a bunch of drawings to work on, and after returning home, he went straight to his room.
"Ring ring~" The phone suddenly rang.
Wang Xiufen called out from the kitchen, "Someone answer the phone, I'm holding my hands."
Jiang Ning also called out, "Achen, answer the phone, my hands are wet!"
Lin Chen held a blueprint, studying it as he picked up the microphone, and Lin Qiao's cheerful voice came from the other end.
You could tell she was in a good mood; her tone was sweet.
Lin Chen was almost speechless when he heard that she had married Luo Guangming.
"You just married yourself off like this?" He had a hint of displeasure on his face, but his tone was relatively calm, not wanting to put pressure on her.
Before long, Wang Xiufen and Jiang Ning, who had heard the commotion, also came over and listened to her chattering about what had happened these past few days.
Only then did they realize that these two had been secretly plotting for a long time.
In order to be together, the two explored many plans.
Luo Guangming originally wanted to leave everything there and come to the capital, but Lin Qiao happened to have an opportunity to teach in a rural area.
She tried every means to choose a teaching location as close as possible to Luo Guangming.
She went to the countryside with her school registration.
After arriving in the county town, the two found an opportunity to get their marriage certificate.
After getting their marriage certificate, Lin Qiao went to the Luo family home for a family reunion dinner.
Aunt Luo was extremely anxious, saying that they were too impulsive, and hadn't even prepared a bride price, so how could they have taken care of things on their own?
"Brother, I've already given our home phone number to Aunt Luo. She'll call you later."
Lin Qiao was still babbling on and on.
Wang Xiufen grabbed the phone and told her, "You haven't graduated yet, so please don't get pregnant."
"Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I didn't lose out by marrying Guangming. Although we didn't ask for a bride price, he gave me all the money he's earned over the past few years, more than 20,000 yuan!"
I'll pay the betrothal gifts when I get back.
Lin Qiao didn't want her mother to feel that she had been thrown away for nothing.
Wang Xiufen scolded her, "What do I need a bride price for? Keep your money for yourselves. You should think carefully about what you're going to do in the future!"
After hanging up the phone, everyone felt a bit down.
It's certainly a good thing that Lin Qiao married Luo Guangming, but the distance between them is just too great.
It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home.
Jiang Ning advised them, "With improved transportation in the future, we can meet more often. If that doesn't work, ask Achen to keep an eye out for the construction industry here and let Guangming develop his business here."
"That's a good idea." Wang Xiufen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Chen, this matter is up to you. Although Guangming is a good kid we know well, it's always more reassuring to have him by our side."
Which parent wants their child to live too far away?
Lin Chen readily agreed: "Mom, I understand. The courtyard house at No. 88 is under renovation right now. I'll ask Baoliang to help me find out more about it. I'll start my own construction company later."
Jiang Ning was amazed. Her man was indeed bold. She had never thought about starting her own company. He said starting a company was as easy as going out for a meal.
