Chapter 29 Meeting Jiang Ting
Jiang Ning turned her head and looked at the person who called her.
She recognized the woman standing before her; she was Jiang Ting, the reborn heroine from the book, and her older sister.
Standing next to Jiang Ting was a young man in a Zhongshan suit. Jiang Ning guessed that this man must be the male protagonist in the book.
Lin Yufei.
Upon seeing Jiang Ting, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh, "What a small world!"
Even just a short trip to the mall can lead to encounters with the male and female protagonists from the book.
She thought she would never cross paths with Jiang Ting again in her life. The world is so big, and communication is not convenient now. Even if they were both in the capital, it would not be so easy for them to run into each other.
Qian Feng was a man of few words; his task today was simply to carry bags.
After seeing that Jiang Ning had paid the bill, they put away the things she had bought.
Jiang Ning bought a lot of things, and a shop assistant, seeing that she had so many things, gave her a large empty box to fill with them.
Qian Feng was carrying a large box that was so full it almost covered his entire body. Hearing someone call Jiang Ning's name, he knew it was someone Jiang Ning knew who came to exchange pleasantries, so he stood quietly to the side without disturbing them.
Jiang Ting feigned surprise and said, "Little sister, it really is you."
After saying that, she took Lin Yufei's arm and leaned against him affectionately, smiling sweetly as she said, "Yufei, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Jiang Ning."
Although it was an introduction, she was watching Jiang Ning's reaction closely.
She remembered that in her past life, Jiang Ning slept with her and they had a heart-to-heart talk. Jiang Ning said that she fell in love with Lin Yufei at first sight, and then the two of them got together.
However, she didn't notice that Lin Yufei's gaze was fixed on Jiang Ning.
A smug look unconsciously appeared on Jiang Ting's face; she wanted to see envy in Jiang Ning.
But she was soon disappointed. Jiang Ning only glanced at Lin Yufei briefly before looking away, and instead focused her gaze on her.
While outwardly greeting her, she subtly observed Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning wore a light yellow knee-length dress, with a leather belt cinching her waist, making her look incredibly slender. This was a far cry from her previous dowdy outfit that obscured her figure.
She felt a pang of jealousy towards Jiang Ning, and subconsciously pinched her waist. Then she looked at Jiang Ning's incredibly slender waist, which was only slightly thicker than hers, but none of that mattered. She then reached out and tightened her grip on Lin Yufei's arm. Jiang Ning's wonderful life from her past life was now hers.
No, it was originally hers. Jiang Ning stole the life that should have belonged to her, making her suffer a lifetime of misery!
Jiang Ning wasn't familiar with this reborn female lead at all, but for some reason, her eyes grew brighter and brighter as she looked at Jiang Ting.
She was already unhappy that Jiang Ting had taken Shen Mo's money for three years, so now that they had run into each other, it was a good opportunity to get the money back.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to ask for money, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her. A person wearing an imported watch on their wrist said, "Hello, my name is Lin Yufei."
"Oh, hello." Jiang Ning politely reached out and shook hands with him, then quickly withdrew her hand.
Lin Yufei rubbed his fingertips together.
"Sister~" Jiang Ning called out to Jiang Ting with her red lips twitching.
Hearing this, Jiang Ting's back trembled involuntarily. When she met Jiang Ning's malicious gaze, she asked, "Wh...what's wrong?"
“You’ve been collecting all the money my husband sent home for the past three years. Shouldn’t you give it back to me?” Jiang Ning said with a smirk.
"W-what money? I didn't receive any money," Jiang Ting denied.
Jiang Ning added, "It's thirty yuan a month, and I've been sending it for three years. After calculating the interest, I don't want much. Just give me 1,500."
"Five thousand? Are you trying to extort me!" Jiang Ting's eyes widened, but she quickly realized what she meant. "What money? What interest? Don't slander me, sister."
Jiang Ting glanced at Lin Yufei subconsciously, and Lin Yufei also gave her a puzzled look.
Jiang Ting said, "Yu Fei, my sister is just joking with me."
Jiang Ning knew that Jiang Ting wouldn't admit it. Since fate was so strange, she had only mentioned it briefly to remind Jiang Ting. Once Jiang Ting got the remittance receipt from Shen Mo, every single transaction would be clearly recorded on it. Even if Jiang Ting still denied it, the post office could still find the recipient's name.
"Whether it's a joke or not, you know perfectly well. I'm leaving now, see you next time." Jiang Ning had no time for small talk; all she wanted was the thousand-plus yuan that Shen Mo had sent her.
Jiang Ning turned around, and Qian Feng, who was carrying a large box, followed suit. When he turned around, Qian Feng saw Lin Yufei, and he was somewhat surprised.
He greeted her, "Company Commander Lin."
Lin Yufei's gaze fell on the man who greeted him. After thinking for a while, he remembered that the man was a service soldier of the deputy regiment commander.
The other person was just a menial orderly, and Lin Yufei simply nodded his chin in greeting.
After saying goodbye, Qian Feng turned and left with Jiang Ning.
The other person turned around too quickly, and Jiang Ting only saw their back. She asked curiously, "Yu Fei, do you know that guy from earlier?"
Lin Yufei nodded, "Yes, he's a service soldier for a deputy regimental commander in the army. I've met him a few times."
Then she remembered what Jiang Ning had said earlier, "Was what your sister said just now true?"
He was talking about money.
Jiang Ting's face showed a moment of panic, but she quickly calmed down. "My sister was really joking with me, Yu Fei. How can you not believe me?"
Lin Yufei fell silent, seemingly pondering the truth of her words.
Not wanting the conversation to cool down, Jiang Ting steered the conversation back to the man who had greeted Lin Yufei earlier, saying, "That man was with my sister, so he must be her husband."
"Husband?" Lin Yufei asked, somewhat surprised.
The younger sister is prettier, thinner, and fairer than the older sister.
He thought of Qian Feng again, shook his head, and said, "He just has bad taste."
Jiang Ting nodded, "Yes, my sister got married three years ago. She couldn't make a living in the countryside, so she came to the capital to find her husband."
Lin Yufei then dispelled his doubts. The orderly's salary was only about thirty-six yuan a month, and with some allowances it might be a little more. He didn't believe that the orderly would send almost all of his salary to his wife.
Jiang Ning is lying.
Lin Yufei frowned; he hated women who lied.

Jiang Ning sneezed as soon as she got into the jeep.
On the way back, Jiang Ning remembered that Qian Feng had greeted the male lead, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do you know Lin Yufei?"
Qian Feng nodded. "Yes, I know him. He's Company Commander Lin from the Third Battalion of the army. He recently went on leave to go back to his hometown. I heard he went to see his fiancée."
He had secretly glanced at Jiang Ning's conversation earlier, and now that he thought about it, he realized that Lin's fiancée was actually his sister-in-law's older sister.
What a coincidence that she opened the door for her mother! What a coincidence!
Qian Feng was straightforward and said whatever came to mind. "Company Commander Lin brought his fiancée to the capital, and he'll probably apply for a family compound too. Then, sister-in-law, you'll be living in the same compound as your sister."
Jiang Ning propped her head up and looked out the window. She didn't care whether Jiang Ting lived in the same compound as her. If they did, it would make it easier for her to get the money back.
A thousand dollars in those days would be equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in later times.
