"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud slamming door came from next door.
The walls shook twice from the tremor.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's mind cleared instantly.
She quickly pulled her hand out of the man's clothes, which she had somehow managed to slip inside.
A pair of small hands pressed against the man's shoulders.
Huo Beixiao was lost in his own world when he was suddenly stopped by the little woman. Her dark eyes, which were fixed on Jiang Qiaoqiao, held a hint of resentment.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's breath hitched. Who could resist such a strong contrast in cuteness?
But she has to hold on.
She blinked her watery eyes and looked at the man pitifully, "Bei Xiao, we made a promise."
Huo Beixiao looked at the little woman's watery eyes, the corners of which were still red, and his heartbeat completely lost control.
He leaned close to Jiang Qiaoqiao's ear and whispered in a hot, breathy voice, "Qiaoqiao, you seduced me first."
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
Thinking about her wild actions just now...
She didn't know why, in that instant, she thought of the actions those rich women in her past life used to seduce male college sports students, and then, on a whim, she put them into practice on Huo Beixiao.
Her flushed face was filled with embarrassment, but she quickly calmed down and looked at Huo Beixiao with serious eyes.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I did it first. I will take responsibility for you, believe me."
As she spoke, she raised three fingers of her right hand, "I swear!"
Huo Beixiao's dark eyes deepened even more. He took her three outstretched fingers in his large hand and placed a light kiss on her lips. "No need to swear. Even if you want to shirk responsibility for me, I won't allow it."
After the man finished speaking, he took a long stride and got off the bed.
Jiang Qiaoqiao asked instinctively, "Where are you going?"
Huo Beixiao turned around and looked at her with a deep gaze. "Take a shower."
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
She awkwardly touched her nose; she shouldn't have asked that question.
"Oh, then you should go quickly!"

On the other side, Jiang Yong'an carried a bag of late-night snacks into the small guesthouse.
Watching Jiang Yiran wolf down the food he brought, he felt both happy and heartbroken.
Ranran, whom he cherished and pampered since childhood, shouldn't be living this kind of life.
"Ranran, it's not a good idea for you to keep living in this small guesthouse..."
Before Jiang Yong'an could finish speaking, Jiang Yiran suddenly looked up at her as if startled, and said in a sharp voice, "Third Brother, what do you mean? Do you look down on me too?"
Jiang Yong'an hurriedly said, "Ranran, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. How could your third brother look down on you? No matter if you're poor or rich, no matter what you become, you'll always be the apple of my eye, the person I love most..."
"Sister!" Jiang Yong'an said the last sentence, the word "lover" was on the tip of his tongue, but he changed it to "sister".
Jiang Yiran's mouth was still full of food.
Upon hearing Jiang Yong'an's words, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, which streamed down her face like broken beads. "Waaah... Third Brother, you're the only one who's ever been the best to Ranran."
Jiang Yong'an gently wiped away Jiang Yiran's tears and said with heartache, "Ranran, why don't you go home and stay there?"
Jiang Yiran skillfully shed tears, her face full of grievance, but a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
Does she not want to go home?
It's that bitch Jiang Qiaoqiao, and that heartless, money-grubbing couple Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying.
Seeing that Jiang Qiaoqiao is now making money while she is down on her luck, he will not abandon her or sever ties with her.
Jiang Yiran was filled with hatred, but she knew she couldn't show it in front of Jiang Yong'an.
She lowered her head, letting tears stream down her face, and said in a choked voice, heartbroken, "Ran Tan wants to go back too. But Mom and Dad only want my sister, they don't want Ran Ran anymore, sob sob sob..."
Jiang Yong'an felt as if his heart was about to break.
He couldn't help but hug Jiang Yiran tightly.
"Ranran, don't cry, don't be sad... It really breaks my heart to see you like this."
Jiang Yiran's eyes flickered, and she gently rested her head on Jiang Yong'an's shoulder, sniffing as she said, "Third Brother, now only you care about Ranran."
A feeling of happiness welled up in Jiang Yong'an's heart. He subconsciously closed his eyes and savored this moment of bliss.
Then he said, "Ranran, your parents are going to publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with Jiang Qiaoqiao. From now on, you will still be our only daughter. You and your brother should go back and beg your parents. They will definitely agree to let you go back."
"What? Mom and Dad are going to publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with Jiang Qiaoqiao?" Jiang Yiran's mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn't quite believe what she was hearing.
Not long ago, Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying wanted to break off their relationship with Jiang Qiaoqiao in order to please her, and even warned her not to go back. How come they want to break off their relationship with Jiang Qiaoqiao now?
Jiang Yong'an told Jiang Yiran everything about how Jiang Qiaoqiao borrowed money to buy a cement factory and incurred high-interest debts, and how the loan sharks had come to the Jiang family today to collect the debt.
"What? Third Brother, you're saying Huo Beixiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao bought the cement factory?" Jiang Yiran stood up excitedly.
After asking, she kept shaking her head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could it be? Huo Beixiao is just a worker at the cement factory, how could he possibly have the money to buy the cement factory? Impossible..."
No one knew better than her just how profitable the cement plant would be in the future.
In the next two or three decades, China's economy will develop rapidly, the real estate market will accelerate, and the country's infrastructure construction will keep pace.
As cement is a fundamental material for these construction projects, its price is also rising steadily.
In her past life, when the cement factory was restructured, the owner who bought it was extremely mysterious. Until she left Yun County, no one knew who the cement factory owner was.
All affairs of the cement plant were managed by a manager named Wu Jianye.
But everyone knows that the cement factory owner has already made a fortune.
She hated cement dust in her past life, so naturally she didn't want to have anything to do with such dirty things as cement again in this life.
Furthermore, a cement plant is not something that can be bought with a small amount of money. Not to mention the Qin family, even if the Jiang family pooled all their resources, they wouldn't be able to come up with that much money.
So after she was reborn, she never thought about the cement factory.
But who could have imagined...
A memory suddenly flashed through her mind: that night, when Jiang Qiaoqiao asked her, "Is the prison food good?"
She instantly shuddered.
Jiang Qiaoqiao wasn't possessed by a ghost seeking revenge; she truly was reborn!
