Looking at the clothes she had finally managed to find on the cart, her satisfied smile became even brighter. She hummed a song as she pulled the cart, feeling exceptionally happy. She turned around and looked around but didn't see Wang Ziliang. Usually, he would come to meet her at this time and help her push the cart to the express delivery area, but he wasn't here today.
As soon as she arrived at the mall entrance, she saw Wang Ziliang and her cousin standing together, talking about something. When they saw her coming, they turned around to look at her.
Jiang Shuya looked delighted: "Cousin, what brings you here?"
Jiang Shuyue's expression showed no joy, but her eyes were scrutinizing and suspicious: "Give the goods to Ziliangfa, I need to talk to you."
"good"
Jiang Shuya was led by Jiang Shuyue to a secluded place. She frowned slightly and asked bluntly, "What's going on between you and Lin Moxiao? Does he come to see you often?"
"Yes...no." Jiang Shuya thought about it carefully.
Jiang Shuyue was speechless at her answer. Her expression turned urgent, and she said urgently, "You're already married. Why are you getting involved with him? Doesn't your husband mind?"
"Third Sister, I'm not like that at all. I would never do something like two-timing. He really helped me, and I'm very grateful to him." Jiang Shuya said calmly.
Jiang Shuyue didn't believe her. Looking at her clothes, which were from who-knows-when and were wrinkled in some places, and her hair was messy, as if she hadn't styled it in a long time, she was completely out of touch with fashion. The only thing missing was her delicate features and pretty face. Jiang Shuyue was even more suspicious: "He helped you, and you think he deliberately got close to you without any purpose? You should never mess with someone like him. I saw him take women to hotels with my own eyes. Wang Ziliang knows that he has changed girlfriends one after another. What do you think your charm is? Are you better than that Wang Yingying from last time, or is it that your husband can't satisfy you right now?"
Jiang Shuya blushed upon hearing this: "Third sister, why are you saying this to me? Is it because he didn't accept you that you're taking out your frustrations on me? What do those women around him have to do with me? Besides, I've never accepted him before, and I never will. Don't try to smear me."
She never expected that her cousin, who had always protected and helped her, would now belittle her so much that she looked down on her. Even though she hadn't gone to university or had a decent job like her, she wasn't lazy and was working hard to make a living, was she?
Jiang Shuya found the way her cousin looked at her strange and unfamiliar. She had seen that kind of look from Huang Minghao's relatives, and she hated it. But the person in front of her was her third sister, the one who had bought her clothes a few months ago. She could ignore other people, but she cared about how her cousin treated her.
Jiang Shuyue sensed her sad expression and realized she had said the wrong thing. She looked annoyed and walked over to her, looking at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiaoya, I shouldn't have said that to you just now. I was wrong. Even if you go out without makeup every day, don't like to dress up, and don't have any fancy clothes, you're still in his heart. I'm his classmate, and I've known for a long time that he had feelings for you. Before, when I learned that he was so unrestrained, I thought that he might have forgotten you over the years. Who knew that he would still be so devoted to you after seeing you now? I just want to ask you, what do you think now?"
Jiang Shuyue deeply regretted inviting her out for dinner last time. If she hadn't invited her, things might have been different. Perhaps she would have lived her peaceful life without bothering anyone or anything unpleasant.
Jiang Shuya covered her face, which was red from the cold, with both hands. Seeing her cousin's sincere attitude, she couldn't get angry anymore. She calmly said, "There is no possibility of feelings between him and me. I know that in my heart. I will try to stay away from him in the future. But he did save my life. He saved my life. I feel grateful to him. There is nothing else in my heart."
Jiang Shuyue was even more confused when she heard that there was a life-saving grace. Her face was full of questions, so Jiang Shuya briefly recounted the child abduction case from that day. Jiang Shuyue was shocked to hear this. She never expected that her cousin, who always looked so gentle, would actually stand up to those traffickers and talk about it so casually. Moreover, she even dragged Lin Moxiao into it. What surprised her even more was that Lin Moxiao could fight three people at once. No wonder he looked so cold and ruthless earlier, but the scars on his face were clearly visible.
"I heard your husband works at sea and comes home twice a year." Jiang Shuyue
Jiang Shuya hummed in agreement and didn't continue the conversation.
He took out the large envelope from his bag: "This is the money we got from the police station. He should have had a share, but he refused to take it. I don't think you two are very close, so I don't know who to ask for it. Do you think we can have Wang Ziliang give it to him?"
Jiang Shuyue glanced at the large envelope, her lips twitched, and she sneered, "Even if you don't have feelings for him, he might, isn't that obvious? If you feel guilty and uneasy, you'd better not look for Wang Ziliang. As far as I can remember, only Lin Moxiao has ever spoken about him."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuya raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll just spend the money and let him be the sucker. It's his fault for not wanting it. I don't have the patience to play guessing games with him."
Jiang Shuyue was shocked: "Are you telling the truth? Don't you feel any guilt at all? Have you thought about what might happen if he uses this as an excuse to contact you..."
"There's no such thing as 'what ifs.' It's just 40,000 yuan. I'll be rich in less than a year. What's 40,000 yuan? If he wants it, I can give it to him anytime," Jiang Shuya said nonchalantly.
Jiang Shuyue didn't forget the purpose of her visit today. She smiled and took her hand, leading her into the mall: "I want to buy clothes today. I've already picked them out. Can you help me find someone to give me a discount?"
Jiang Shuya suddenly remembered Wang Tingting. After all, she had to talk to her about discounts. Some brands weren't purchased by Jiang Shuya herself, so she couldn't have complete control and still had to consult with this senior manager.
As expected, Wang Tingting went to the hospital after work. It was already dark by then. She only asked Jiang Shuya to send over the brands she liked, and she would contact the manufacturers. Jiang Shuya was delighted and agreed repeatedly.
The two didn't just stroll around the mall. Jiang Shuyue, being a fashion designer, was quite knowledgeable about brand levels and fabric origins. She bought several sets of thermal underwear. Jiang Shuya glanced at the price tags and exclaimed in surprise, "What the hell is this? It's so thin, not thick at all, and doesn't look very warm, yet it costs several hundred yuan! Isn't this just the thermal underwear we wear?"
Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but smile: "This is a high-tech German fleece self-heating material. It's a skin-beautifying, low-cut top that's both warm and slimming, and it can also moisturize dry skin. It's the newest fabric on the market right now."
