Chapter 17 The Taste of Jealousy
Jiangchuan failed to persuade his father to help.
If it were in the past, he would have asked Xiao Qingru to intercede, after all, this matter was not difficult for Xiao's father to do.
But now the relationship between the two is completely strained, Xiao Qingru has also made it clear that she doesn't want to see him again, Jiang Chuan is really helpless.
Moreover, he was also afraid that if he continued to bother Xiao Qingru with Du Wanqiu's matter, it would push the other party further away.
"I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust."
Du Wanqiu was very unwilling. She would not cause any trouble to others if she stayed here. Why did everyone bully them, an orphan and a widow?
Is Jiangchuan just going to give up like this?
There are still a few days left, why not try harder?
He forced a smile and said, "I know you've done your best. Maybe this is our fate. It doesn't matter if we don't stay. We can live anywhere."
"Don't give up on yourself. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can write to me. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
He took out the money and bills he had prepared long ago, "Here's a hundred yuan. It's not easy for you to raise a child alone. It will be useful in the future."
He rubbed his fingers together and said, "Jiang Zhi, you have helped me enough. I will walk on my own in the future without paying you."
Since Jiang Chuan has decided to give it to her, he will not regret it. "Keep it. You will have a better life in the future with the money in your hands."
Du Wanqiu was deeply moved, "Jiang Zhi, from childhood to adulthood, you are the only person who is so kind to me."
As if it touched a wound, tears fell one after another and were quickly wiped away.
Du Wanqiu stuffed the money back into Jiang Chuan's hand and said, "Your kindness is enough. This is not a small amount of money. I will never accept it."
"This is the money I gave to my child. I watched him spend it. It's a special feeling."
"You agree that I have received it, so you should take the money back. Otherwise, when you return home, your mother-in-law will take it away and you won't be able to use it on the child."
The child was crying loudly in the room. Du Wanqiu said nothing and went in to feed him.
Jiang Chuan stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or leave.
He really wanted to help Du Wanqiu, but his family was unwilling to provide help due to his limited resources. Giving money and tickets was the only thing he could do at the moment.
He walked into the house quietly, put the money on the table, said nothing, and left.
Jiang Chuan didn't know that as soon as he left, rumors spread that he and Du Wanqiu were alone in the same room.
The news was so sensational that someone saw him go upstairs, and someone else saw him leaving Du Wanqiu's house.
As for the process in between, although no one saw it with their own eyes, you can figure out what happened just by imagining it.
Rumors are like a gust of wind, and soon they become known to everyone.
Xiao's mother went out to visit friends and also heard about this.
Fortunately, Qingru's family has escaped from the sea of suffering, otherwise they would be laughed at to death now.
Didn't Jiang Chuan always say that a person of integrity has nothing to fear?
Let’s see what he says this time.
You know, if enough people say something, it will be taken as the truth, and no matter how you explain it, it will be useless.
Otherwise, how did the phrase "people's words are scary" come from?
Xiao's mother believed that there was nothing fishy between Jiang Chuan and Du Wanqiu, but he did things without any sense, which was wrong!
These days, work style issues are dealt with very strictly. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, they still have an impact on Jiangchuan.
When Jiang Chuan was taken to the office by his leader for a talk, he was completely confused.
He had good intentions in giving money to Du Wanqiu's mother, but how come in the eyes of others, he considered it as misconduct?
He had been in the room for less than half an minute, how could these people lie so openly?
Jiang Chuan was confused and uneasy, with a question circling in his mind: why would people misunderstand him even though he did good things?
Should we just watch Du Wanqiu's mother be alone and helpless?
Why doesn't anyone understand him?
"This incident has a very bad impact, Jiang Zhi, we hope you will reflect on it."
"There is nothing between me and Du Zhixiao."
"We believe in you, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just a review."
Jiang Chuan smiled bitterly, and said that reviewing the facts was equivalent to denying his past statements.
Then wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to fight with Qingru and even break off the engagement because of Du Wanqiu's incident?
After leaving the leadership office, Jiang Chuan was in a daze.
He wanted to find someone to talk to, wanted to let everyone know that he really only cared about Du Wanqiu for the sake of their good friendship.
But who is he looking for?
Jiang Chuan suddenly realized that he didn't know when his friends stopped associating with him.
Even Qingru, the person he thought would never leave him, abandoned him.
I walked aimlessly and unknowingly arrived near the art troupe.
Thinking of the last time they met, Jiang Chuan stopped.
He wanted to see Xiao Qingru, but he was afraid to see Xiao Qingru.
The contradiction was like a sharp blade, cutting Jiangchuan in great pain.
He didn't know how to face Du Wanqiu's mother next, nor did he know how to clear up those rumors.
If he doesn't explain clearly, will he become even more hateful in Qingru's eyes?
Jiang Chuan kept asking himself why he and Qing Ru had come to this point without knowing why?
This is not the result he wanted.
Obviously, they will be getting married soon.
After standing there for a long time, the person he was thinking about appeared in his sight.
I couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to walk towards the girl I loved, but I stopped when I saw the man next to her.
Although it was just a silhouette, he could recognize who that person was.
Jiang Chuan's expression froze. When did Qingru become so close to Xu Muzhou?
I don't know what the two of them said, but Qingru started to laugh.
He hadn't seen such a bright smile for a long time.
Jiangchuan experienced jealousy for the first time.
It turns out that Qingru can also smile so beautifully when she is smiling at others.
