Chapter 23 It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone's eye on you.



"You're welcome to try!"

Jiang Jingxue spoke calmly, showing no fear of the other party's threat.

“Gu Pingwei has already submitted a marriage application to the military. Once the seal is affixed, we will be a legally married couple, and it will be a military marriage. If you dare to talk nonsense and deliberately cause trouble, that will be destroying a military marriage.”

Do you know what the consequences are for breaking up a military marriage?

Jiang Jingxue suddenly leaned closer and stared coldly at Jiang Zhizhi, her eyes filled with sarcasm.

"What are the consequences?" Jiang Zhizhi was indeed a little flustered.

"He'll go to jail! If the circumstances are serious, he might even be executed!"

These words completely terrified Jiang Zhizhi.

She immediately stood up from the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Jingxue found it amusing. With such little courage, he dared to come and scare her? And dared to try and steal her man?

What a joke!

"You... I'll sleep in the guest room, but I don't like the guest room blankets, they're too thin! It's so cold, I want your blanket."

Jiang Zhizhi pointed defiantly at the thick quilt on Jiang Jingxue's bed.

Jiang Jingxue didn't want to get involved with her anymore. She was exhausted after a long day and just wanted to get rid of her quickly so she could get some rest.

He simply turned around and picked up the blanket from the bed.

Jiang Zhizhi, standing to the side, was attracted by the gold earrings on the table.

While Jiang Jingxue was getting the blanket, Jiang Zhizhi walked sideways to the table and covered her gold earring.

He slowly slid it to his side, then took the opportunity to slip it into his pocket.

Unfortunately, all of this was observed by Jiang Jingxue.

Jiang Jingxue didn't make a sound until Jiang Zhizhi finished putting on the earrings, then she turned around and handed the quilt over.

"Carry it back yourself!"

"Hmph, I'll let you off the hook for today! But don't think this is all over. Just you wait, and see how I deal with you later!"

After making her boastful statement, Jiang Zhizhi hugged her blanket and left happily.

Jiang Jingxue stood at the door, glanced at the empty table, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"Jiang Zhizhi, you asked for this!"

Jiang Jingxue closed the door and lay down on the bed to rest.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Jiang Jingxue heard a noise.

Lin Baoguo arrived at home early in the morning, looked at Jiang Jingxue, and chuckled.

"Pingwei's family, I've already contacted someone for you."

“Sun Youzhi owns a wholesale factory and is thinking of selling to other companies. I’ll go with you to talk to him in a bit.”

Jiang Jingxue nodded quickly and began to tidy up.

Gu Pingwei sat to the side and whispered, "How about I go with you?"

"No need, aren't you going to the fishing village with Dad to get supplies today? The two of us are enough!"

Gu Pingwei glanced at Lin Baoguo.

With him around, there won't be any problems.

At that moment, Jiang Zhizhi's room door was pushed open, and Jiang Zhizhi walked out triumphantly.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the three of them. I was so startled that I quickly covered my ears.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you're up so early? Do you have guests?"

Lin Baoguo raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I heard yesterday that your family came, it seems it's true! This is your sister?"

Jiang Jingxue nodded.

Jiang Zhizhi greeted them, but covered her ears and didn't dare let go, then quickly walked out.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingxue did not stop her, and her smile became even more pronounced.

Soon, Lin Baoguo and Jiang Jingxue got into the car and arrived at a seafood wholesale factory.

As soon as she got out of the car, Jiang Jingxue sensed something was wrong.

The wholesale factory was very dilapidated on the outside, and the few stalls inside were scattered, with only a few still selling their wares; most of the area had become deserted.

Piles of garbage and a few flies and insects crawling on both sides clearly indicate that the place is poorly managed and almost desolate.

"It's my fault, I didn't come to check beforehand. This place is terrible! Shall we go back first, and I'll ask around for you again?"

Lin Baoguo was somewhat unsure.

Jiang Jingxue smiled calmly, "Don't worry, this place is big and spacious, and it's very sturdy. With just a little tidying up, we can reopen. Let's talk to the person in charge first!"

After walking a few steps, a man in blue overalls came up to me.

The man looked listless and walked unsteadily, seemingly suffering from poor health due to long hours of hard work.

"Hello, my name is Sun Youzhi, and I own this wholesale factory. I heard that you are planning to take over our factory. I have already told you the price. If you are willing, we can sign the contract now."

Seeing that Sun Youzhi had gotten straight to the point, Jiang Jingxue decided to be equally direct.

“Your original price was a bit high. The factory is currently struggling and almost in ruins. We need to renovate it inside and out. I’d like to offer a 20% discount on the original price. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Youzhi shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"No, I disagree!"

Upon hearing Sun Youzhi's words, Lin Baoguo immediately frowned, his tone becoming somewhat unfriendly.

“Sun Youzhi, this price is already quite high. We're taking over this wholesale factory to find a way for our small fishing village to make money, to lead everyone to prosperity and bring honor to the village. If you refuse, you're hindering our progress!”

You'd better think this through!

However, Sun Youzhi did not back down in the face of Lin Baoguo's pressure.

"Sorry, my price is set and I will not change it, not even a penny less!"

"If you're willing, you can buy it at the original price. If not, I'll wait a bit longer."

After saying that, Sun Youzhi got up to leave.

Just as Lin Baoguo was about to stop her, Jiang Jingxue stopped him.
