Chapter 145145 Ji Mingyue is a little weird
This message was completely harmless to Jiang Lili. She knew who was on the other end without having to guess. Curiously, she wondered if completing her strategy for Lu Jiaze would wrap up Ji Mingyue's storyline. But before she could ponder further, Jiang Yulan's voice rang out, "Lili, the flower basket is almost full."
In addition to the flower basket, Jiang Liangbo, the funny guy, also specially prepared a ribbon-cutting ceremony for her. The red silk and scissors were still there. Looking at those things, she felt a little headache.
"This little Jiang is quite good at making things happen." Although Jiang Yulan said this, her eyes never left the red silk and scissors over there.
"Lili, come quickly. When you and Aunt Jiang cut the ribbon, we will light firecrackers downstairs. It's a pity that we didn't invite people from the newspaper." Jiang Liangbo's tone was filled with a hint of regret.
"Brother Jiang, this is already very grand, really." At this moment, Jiang Lili was glad that he didn't invite people from the newspaper.
"I brought a camera. I'll take a few pictures for you as souvenirs." Lu Hongzhe said and looked at Jiang Lili. This time, she did not refuse.
Compared with the last time, this opening ceremony was obviously much more grand. The smile in Jiang Lili's eyes became brighter. Their lives were really getting better and better!

What is more painful than ridicule is being ignored. Ji Mingyue stared at the phone on the table for one hour, two hours. She believed that Jiang Lili must have seen the message. Why didn't she reply to her?
"It's time to get ready to enter the station." The person next to him suddenly stood up and said.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Ji Mingyue said as she stared at the person walking in front of her. Although he was her boyfriend now, the strategy value above his head was still zero. It was clearly 50% before, but because of what happened yesterday, not only was his strategy value reset to zero, but his attitude towards her also became cold.
Ji Mingyue bit the corner of her lip. She had been able to raise his attack value to 50 before, and now that she was his girlfriend, it should be even easier. She comforted herself in this way.
Lu Jiaze, walking in front of him, rubbed his temples. He hadn't expected a simple dinner party to turn out like this. He knew he couldn't blame anyone for the current situation. If he hadn't given Ji Mingyue the opportunity to contact his roommates, how could they have thought of bringing them together? If not, how could Ji Mingyue have taken advantage of this opportunity?
As if sensing his anger, the person behind him trotted forward and whispered, "Lu Jiaze, what happened last night was my own will. I know you don't like me, but I can pretend nothing happened."
Lu Jiaze looked up at her and sneered, "Ji Mingyue, do you think everyone is a fool? What could have happened between you and me after what happened last night?"
"You were drunk. Zhang Jun and the others asked me to take care of you. You mistook me for Lili." Ji Mingyue said the last sentence in a low voice. What happened last night was not originally in her plan, but at the beginning of this semester, his obviously distant attitude made Ji Mingyue feel a sense of crisis and she lost her previous confidence, so she thought about binding the two of them first.
"Don't drag innocent people into this. You'll only make me feel more disgusted if you do that. Haven't you already got what you wanted? A girlfriend." Lu Jiaze gritted his teeth when he said the last three words. He was only a freshman and he had more important things to do. He didn't have the energy to guard against Ji Mingyue's next plan. In that case, he might as well just give her what she wanted.
"I said, I didn't ask you to be responsible, you don't have to do this." Ji Mingyue frowned. Although he admitted his identity in front of his roommates, something seemed wrong with the development of the matter. She felt a little panic in her heart. It seemed different from what she expected.
This time, Lu Jiaze didn't say anything, but just walked towards the ticket office. Seeing this, Ji Mingyue behind him hurriedly followed him, constantly pondering the meaning of his words.
Lu Jiaze didn't take Ji Mingyue's words seriously. He just regretted why he had contacted her, and even more regretted giving her the opportunity to take advantage of him, even though his mother had already warned him. As for accepting her as his girlfriend, it was just because he hoped she would be more obedient for the next three years. After all, if this time didn't work out, she could always do it next time. He lowered his eyes, thinking that he should distance himself from the people around him when school started next time. He had clearly told them, but they still let Ji Mingyue fool them with just a few words.
The rumble of the train echoed, and Lu Jiaze stared out the window at the scenery passing by. He recalled Ji Mingyue's words, and a sinister glint flashed across his eyes. When he first arrived at Yuncheng High School, someone in his class mentioned Ji Mingyue, Jiang Lili, and another girl. That girl had been Jiang Lili's friend, and from the beginning, she had wanted not just Ji Yushu as a father, but everything about Lili.
Although the two sat together, neither spoke. Ji Mingyue felt a familiar pain in her lower abdomen, a long-lost period pain. She clenched her palms, knowing that this was the beginning of bad luck after Lu Jiaze's attack value dropped. In her plan, she had imagined many reactions from Lu Jiaze, but she had never expected his attack value to drop completely. All the bad things that happened to her were caused by him, so he must be held responsible. A text message alert sounded, it was a class reunion organized by the class monitor. She glanced at the people around her and replied to the class monitor, "Participating, Lu Jiaze and I are both participating."
The squad leader who was still sending messages at this time saw Ji Mingyue's reply, and surprise flashed in his eyes. Was it what he thought?
*
With the experience of the first store, many children and parents came to the new district on the opening day. Jiang Lili also prepared a lot of gifts. Of course, these gifts were all sponsored by Tongqu players.
In the end, it was Zhang Yue who chose to come here. With her leading the way, they didn't have to worry about the store's operations. She looked at the three people next to her and asked, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"Lili, how come you are even more cruel than Zhou Paopi? We finally have a day off today." Jiang Liangbo said and glanced at her. She was quite similar to Lao Lu. All she thought about all day was work.
"Aren't I afraid of delaying your work? You have graduated now, will you go back during the summer vacation?" When Jiang Lili asked them, she was also calculating the time when Jiang Qitong and Jiang Jianyi would come.
"We've already graduated, so where's the summer vacation? Of course we won't go back." Lu Ziming shook his head. Now the company has started to recruit people to help them share some trivial matters, and they feel a lot more relaxed.
"That's right. Let's have lunch together?" Jiang Lili invited them.
"Lili, there's something going on at the factory. I'll go there first. Are you okay here?" Jiang Yulan asked hesitantly.
"Zhang Yue and I are here, no problem, you go ahead and get busy." Jiang Lili said as she glanced at the time on her wrist. If she went there now, she could still catch up with lunch time in the cafeteria.
"Okay, call me if you need anything." Jiang Yulan said as she picked up her bag and walked towards the parking lot. Seeing this, Jiang Lili's eyes fell on the two people next to her: "Brother Jiang, Brother Ziming, didn't you get your driver's licenses? Didn't you buy a car?"
"We bought one in the name of the company and parked it at the company. Anyone who needs it can drive it." At present, they do not have many opportunities to drive, so they have no plans to buy a car personally.
Jiang Lili nodded in understanding, then took the three of them to a nearby restaurant. "I ate here with the renovation team last time, and it was pretty good."
While they were waiting for their food, the table next to them happened to be discussing Miaowu and the other three little ones. Two girls each held a Miaowu and Wangbao doll in their graduation gowns. Hearing their discussion, Jiang Liangbo turned to look at the items in their hands, then looked at Jiang Lili in surprise: "Lili, this is similar to the dolls we have?"
"What's that look in your eyes? It's far from the mark, okay?" Lu Ziming looked at Jiang Liangbo with disdain, then looked at Jiang Lili seriously: "So ours is considered a custom-made model?"
"Yes, a custom-made one." Jiang Lili was a little surprised that he knew about the custom-made one.
Seeing them all looking over, she explained the situation to them: "We three little ones make different themes every year. When I took your drawings to Brother Zhao, they thought of using the graduation theme, so we got those dolls."
"It seems that what we have are all unique." After saying this, Lu Ziming glanced at Jiang Lili, somewhat curious whether he and Jiang Liangbo were the ones who got it by the way.
"Let's eat first." At this time, the dishes they ordered were served one after another, and Lu Hongzhe reminded them.
"Are you going to stay here all day today?" Lu Hongzhe asked after dinner.
"Yes, today is the first day, so there will be more customers. I need to stay and help." Jiang Lili nodded.
"Do we need to come together?" Lu Hongzhe glanced at the store over there. It was probably lunch time, so there weren't many people inside at this time.
"No need, you guys go back first. I'll go and take over for Zhang Yue and the others to eat." Jiang Lili waved at them, signaling them to go back first.
After they left, Jiang Lili got up and returned to the store. Although it was her first day, Zhang Yue was an experienced worker, and even Han Ying had been trained beforehand, so the store was in perfect order. Seeing her come in, Zhang Yue happily reported on the current progress. "Lili, we've already had three customers sign up for memberships. I saw a little kid over there in the store. He said he came to visit relatives and played in our Baby Park."
Zhang Yue had witnessed the different starting points of the two stores. She smiled and replied, "Our Baby Paradise will get better and better in the future."
Jiang Lili only stayed here for half a day. Seeing that she really couldn't help, she went back. Huajianlou was in the west district, and to go back, one had to either take the bus or a taxi. Jiang Lili thought that she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she walked slowly towards the bus stop.
The opening of the new store was just a small episode during the summer vacation. Zhang Yue and Wang Hong were each in charge of a store, so Jiang Lili didn't have to worry about them. She was busy accompanying Zhou Qingfen to look at houses.
Both families had successfully sold their houses in Jincheng, and now they had a lot more money than they had previously budgeted, so the houses they had previously looked at were no longer suitable. Zhou Qingfen said that she wanted to buy a house in one go and didn't want to wait a few years to replace it, as moving was too troublesome. Her idea once again made Jiang Lili sigh. Zhou Qingfen's thinking was really ahead of the average person. Even without her advice, she would probably have quickly switched to tutoring. Unfortunately, the plot didn't focus much on Jiang Aiguo's family, so she didn't quite understand how far she had developed in the storyline.
Noticing her gaze, Zhou Qingfen was a little puzzled: "Lili, why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, I just think you are so courageous, aunt." Jiang Lili's tone was full of praise.
"Really?" Zhou Qingfen felt a little embarrassed by her direct praise.
"Yes, for example, most people will subconsciously hold their money in their hands at this time to prevent emergencies." Jiang Lili glanced at Zhou Qingfen after she said this, wondering if she could understand what she wanted to express.
Zhou Qingfen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then smiled and said, "Actually, this is the courage you gave me. To be honest, it's all thanks to you and your mother. I should thank you."
Jiang Lili didn't take the polite words seriously. She smiled and talked about the house they were going to see later: "We are going to see Huajianlouji Phase 2, which has the same apartment type as ours."
"It would be even better if we had one. Then we could reserve one room for a study." Zhou Qingfen said with joy.
"Then shall we go there now?" Jiang Lili calculated and decided to book a house now, contact the decoration team, and wait for the decoration to be completed and aired out so that they could move in before the New Year.
Fortunately, Zhou Qingfen had her own ideas about the decoration design, and she communicated with the decoration team herself, instead of just asking the decoration team to refer to her ideas like those guys.
We had just finished communicating with the decoration team when we received a call from Yuncheng. The old man brought Tongtong to Beijing early the day after tomorrow. Tongtong will study in Beijing in the future, so she brought a lot of luggage this time.
As they were about to leave Yuncheng, Jiang Qitong, who had been the most excited, felt a little sad. Although going to Jing City meant living with her mother, it also meant separating from her father. She looked up at Jiang Aiguo and said, "Dad, can't you come with us?"
Looking at her eyes that were about to rival a rabbit's, Jiang Aiguo felt a flash of disappointment. He reached out and touched her head, explaining in a gentle voice, "Tongtong, Daddy also wants to go to Beijing with you, but Daddy has work to do and can't come right away. I can come to Beijing after I finish my work."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Qitong's eyes suddenly became bright when she looked at him.
"Of course, Dad never lies." Now that he has bought a house in Jing City, Qingfen must be ready to settle down. Even if she encounters the worst case scenario she mentioned before, she will choose to start over instead of returning to Yuncheng as a retreat, so he should also re-plan his trip to Jing City.
"Then my mother, grandfather, aunt and I will be waiting for you in Beijing." Jiang Qitong said as she stretched out her hand to shake hands with him. This action made Jiang Aiguo feel a little amused.
After comforting Jiang Qitong, Jiang Aiguo realized that she hadn't seen the old man yet today. She couldn't help but ask, "Tongtong, where is your grandfather?"
"I don't know. We just saw Brother Lu downstairs." Jiang Qitong glanced at Jiang Aiguo and continued, "Besides him, there's also Ji Mingyue. Grandpa looked a little angry and said he went to look for Grandpa Lu."
"Isn't your Grandpa Lu in Jincheng?" They had met each other some time ago when they were dealing with the house.
"I don't know either. Did grandpa go to Jincheng? Dad, please call grandpa quickly. We still have to go to Jingshi." Jiang Qitong suddenly became a little anxious.
"I'll call and ask." Jiang Aiguo said as he stood up and prepared to make a call, and Jiang Jianyi pushed the door open.
"Dad, you're back?" Jiang Aiguo said as he took a look. He looked calm and didn't look angry. Could it be that Tongtong had seen it wrong?
"Well, I just met the kid from the Lu family and Ji Mingyue. The two seemed to be arguing, and the girl was hit by a motorcycle." Jiang Jianyi lowered his voice when he said the last sentence. He felt weird when he thought of the scene at that time. There were obviously no cars on the road at that time. He didn't know where the car came from.
"What happened to it?" Jiang Aiguo asked after a moment of silence.
"I can't see clearly from a distance." Jiang Qitong's sight was on the cotton candy stand over there. He didn't want to scare her, so he sent her back first. When he went back, no one was there. She must have gone to the hospital. Thinking of this, Jiang Jianyi warned: "Aiguo, Tongtong and I will go to Jing City tomorrow. If you meet Ji Mingyue in Yuncheng, stay away from her. I always feel that girl is a little weird."
"Dad, feudal superstition is not acceptable, but I will definitely stay away from that girl. Is Lu Jiaze and that girl together? This is the second time you've run into them." Jiang Aiguo was a little surprised.
"Who knows? The kid from the Lu family has a cold face this time. Let's not meddle in other people's business." He would go back again to find out where the motorcycle that hit Ji Mingyue came from, but unfortunately he found nothing.
"I understand. We have to take the train tomorrow, Dad. You should go to bed early." Jiang Aiguo urged him to rest. As for the weird things he said about Ji Mingyue, he hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of telling Jiang Lili. If nothing unexpected happened, Lili should not meet them, so there was no need to let her worry about these things.
"Okay." Jiang Jianyi said, rubbing his temples and returning to the room.
Ji Mingyue, who the old man described as a bit weird, was in the hospital at this time. She was pale due to the pain, and her forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat beads. She didn't expect that she would be so unlucky after Lu Jiaze's strategy value dropped.
"It seems to be a fracture. You need to stay in bed to recuperate." The doctor quickly gave a diagnosis.
Lu Jiaze glanced at the person sitting on the bed and asked, "Do you need me to notify your family?"
"No, I'll tell them myself." Ji Mingyue's gaze fell on the zero above his head. They couldn't come into contact with him at this moment. She glanced down at her calves. How long would her bad luck last this time? Thinking of this, she glanced at Lu Jiaze with some resentment. She had done so much for him, but he actually denied her completely because of one thing, letting her strategy return to zero.
"Okay, then you talk to them yourself." If what happened that night hadn't happened, Lu Jiaze would definitely take the initiative to contact her family for her and arrange the hospital matters by the way. But that incident made him think more. Maybe this was another conspiracy of hers. After all, the motorcycle that rushed out was too inexplicable, whether it was its appearance or its end. He even suspected that this was a collusion between them in advance. He still needed to go to the Public Security Bureau to confirm it.
"Sorry to trouble you again." Ji Mingyue said as she lowered her eyes and showed him her right cheek, trying to arouse his desire to protect her.
"Someone just reported a case. I have to go to the police station now. Please notify your family to take care of you." Lu Jiaze said and left the ward. He had planned to go to the library today, but he didn't expect to meet her on the way, let alone what would happen next.
When Lu Jiaze came out of the ward, he saw Qiu Shaoli in the corridor. He stepped forward and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you." Qiu Shaoli said and gave him a displeased look. Why was she involved with that girl again?
"I don't know how I met her. She was hit by a motorcycle in front of me. I can't pretend that I didn't see anything, right?" Lu Jiaze's tone was full of helplessness. Originally, after the class reunion, he thought that the next time they would meet would be in Nanshi. He never expected to meet her today.
"Why was he hit by a motorcycle for no reason? Was it an accident or man-made?" Qiu Shaoli couldn't help but frown.
"I don't know either. I still have to go to the Public Security Bureau. Don't worry, I know you're worried, but that day won't come." Lu Jiaze said with certainty. He was not a fool. Apart from his relationship with Jiang Lili, Ji Mingyue should value the value he brought as a person more. But how could he let her have her wish?
"I want to believe you, but how can I believe you?" Qiu Shaoli said and glanced into the ward.
Lu Jiaze lowered his eyes and said nothing, because what she said was the truth. If he hadn't been greedy for that little bit of tenderness, he wouldn't have let her take advantage of him. Ultimately, it was because of him that she got the girlfriend status she wanted. Lu Jiaze was also reminding himself. No matter what the person who knocked on the door that morning saw, he firmly believed that nothing had happened between him and Ji Mingyue. Since she had been scheming for the girlfriend status, then he would give it to her, and it was also a constant reminder for himself not to be stupid.
Seeing him like this, Qiu Shaoli couldn't help but sigh, and finally just waved her hand and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the Public Security Bureau? Go quickly."
"Okay, then I'll go home with you after I'm done." Lu Jiaze said, looked at her, and then went to the Public Security Bureau.
Qiu Shaoli watched him leave and glanced in the direction of the ward. She did not go in. Not to mention that they didn't have anything going on right now, even if there really was something going on, her initiative to look for Ji Mingyue would be even more cheap. Thinking of this, she turned around and went back to the office.
It was then that Ji Mingyue realized she was in the same hospital as Qiu Shaoli. Remembering their fondness for the Jiang family, a flicker of emotion crossed her eyes. But now wasn't the time to confront them. She had to wait until she got Lu Jiaze's strategy points before considering these matters. Or, once her strategy points reached a certain level, Lu Jiaze would clear all obstacles for her. With this in mind, Ji Mingyue lowered her head, pulled out her phone, and called Ji Yushu.
