The man standing at the door looked extremely disheveled and haggard. He was wearing a gray suit, his hair was a little long and had not been trimmed, and the glasses on his nose were broken. However, due to his lack of money, he could only wear them reluctantly. When he saw Jiang Xia coming out, his eyes lit up and he hurried to come to Jiang Xia.
"Xia Xia, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't be angry with me." The man spoke to Jiang Xia.
The person in front of him was none other than Shen Yicheng, who was almost forgotten by Jiang Xia.
Shen Yicheng stayed in the Public Security Bureau for more than a month. He was implicated in his sister's case and was suspected of murder. His friend Jiang Xia sued him and had the IOU as proof. The one thousand yuan was a foregone conclusion and he couldn't deny it.
He was barely cleared of the crime of murder, but it was only temporary. For the time being, he can only move around in Jiangcheng and cannot go out of town. If he goes out of town, he will be arrested.
The only reason he was released so quickly was that his mother ran around outside, borrowed money for him, and collected money from everywhere. She even sold everything she had to scrape together a thousand yuan to pay back Jiang Xia, which allowed him to be released.
Only after he got out did he know what regret meant.
First of all, when this incident came to light, he would definitely lose his job in his original unit, and because it was a major personal violation, he was fired from the unit, and no related unit would recruit him again.
He originally thought that he could make a comeback and go find someone with whom he had dinner before and with whom he had a good relationship to lend him money, or just support him temporarily and help him find a job.
If he really can't do it, he will start his own business, but being a self-employed person also requires capital, connections and sources of goods.
These things that he originally thought he could accomplish easily, as well as those people who had bullied him before, now ignored him and treated him coldly, without any of the respect and friendship they had before.
Only then did he realize that the reason why he was able to get the job so smoothly before was all because of Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia's family background was good, his parents both worked in good companies, and his father was a public servant. His previous job was also helped by Jiang Xia's connections, which enabled him to get that job.
Now that he's left Jiang Xia, he runs into obstacles everywhere, can't do anything well, and is not liked by anyone.
At this moment, he really felt regretful.
He regretted why he did such a stupid thing. He was so blindly confident that it was his own ability. He even despised what Jiang Xia did for him. He felt that it made him look useless and incompetent. He despised Jiang Xia's spoiled lady's temper and was so dizzy that he hooked up with Jiang Hongjiao.
If he had not done that, he might have already been registered as a city resident, with a bright future in his career. Jiang Xia would have known many people who could smooth the way for him, and Jiang Xia's family was wealthy enough to support him.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought of Jiang Xia, so after he came out, he went to find Jiang Xia as soon as possible.
"Xia Xia, did you know I was coming today, so you wore this? You look so beautiful, I've never seen you wear this before." Shen Yicheng spoke and looked at Jiang Xia. His voice was gentle and his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
That must be the case. Jiang Xia knew he was coming today, so she dressed up like this to see him.
Just thinking of this, Shen Yicheng became excited unconsciously, and all the uneasiness before coming here was dispelled. Yes, how could Jiang Xia really be willing to let him go.
He now missed Jiang Xia infinitely. He swore that this time he would definitely love Jiang Xia very much. If Jiang Xia wanted to act like a spoiled child, he would just let her do so. He would just indulge her and there was no need for him to get angry and scold her.
"Yes, yes, Xia Xia, my son has been standing here all morning today. He has been waiting for you at the door since five in the morning. He just wants to wait for you to come out at the door and give you a surprise. Please persuade him too." Shen Yicheng's mother spoke from the side, her eyes full of heartache. The old lady no longer had the arrogance and domineering unreasonableness she had in front of Jiang Xia before.
She originally looked down on Jiang Xia, thinking that Jiang Xia was just a person with a plain face, thin and weak, and did not look like someone who was raised by a man. She definitely hoped that her son could marry a woman who was raised by a man, and hoped that Shen Yicheng would kick Jiang Xia out.
Before her son could kick Jiang Xia, it was Jiang Xia who kicked her son instead.
Their family's situation began to take a sharp turn for the worse. Their daughter was sentenced to jail for murder, and their son lost his job and couldn't find it anymore. The family's assets were emptied out, and her dream of settling down in the city and getting a city hukou was shattered.
Only then did she realize that everything that happened before was caused by Jiang Xia. Now that Jiang Xia kicked her son, naturally she had nothing left.
"I'm not cold. I'm willing to wait for you. It doesn't matter how long I wait." Shen Yicheng echoed his mother, looking pitiful and affectionate.
Before Jiang Xia could say anything, Su Yuelan was so angry that her face turned dark. Everyone in the family compound knew that her daughter and Lu Yuanting were engaged, and they were going to get married during the Chinese New Year. They were a formal engaged couple.
Now that Lu Yuanting is on a business trip, this Shen Yicheng came to their door early in the morning and staged such a deep affection, it must have been seen by everyone in the family compound. If this matter were to spread out, wouldn’t it ruin her daughter’s reputation?
Even if the Lu family doesn't have any ideas, what about the gossip of outsiders?
“Who is your family’s relative? Xia Xia broke up with your Shen Yicheng a long time ago.” Su Yuelan’s face darkened and she spoke with a pah sound.
"Jiang Hongjiao, did you bring that person in?" Jiang Xia looked at Jiang Hongjiao without much emotion on his face, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Xia Xia, I was just thinking that you and Shen Yicheng had a good relationship before. Many people will continue to be friends after breaking up, right? I saw that Shen Yicheng was so anxious, so he must have something urgent, so I took them to the family compound." Jiang Hongjiao spoke with an innocent look, as if I didn't mean it.
"Okay." Jiang Xia sneered, listened to Jiang Hongjiao's words, turned around and went back to the house, not knowing what he was going to do.
Jiang Hongjiao had a smug look on her face, which she did on purpose. Su Yuelan's divorce had attracted much attention to both Su Yuelan and Jiang Xia. Now that Jiang Xia, who was already engaged, was entangled with her ex-boyfriend, there would be a lot of gossip.
Besides, what if Jiang Xia still has feelings for Shen Yicheng? If the two of them meet and sparks are rekindled, then Jiang Xia's family will be really embarrassed.
