Chapter 51 We Will Be Together Forever
Jiang Xi studied diligently throughout his four years of university.
She and Yu Baozhen became good friends; in fact, it was Yu Baozhen who took the initiative to befriend her.
She seemed to have no worries at all.
Yu Baozhen was very close to Jiang Xi. She felt that she and Jiang Xi looked very similar, and even their likes and tastes were similar.
Jiang Xi listened quietly as she spoke.
After graduation, Yu Baozhen was assigned to work in her hometown, while Jiang Xi chose to continue her studies.
Yu Baozhen was still somewhat reluctant to part with Jiang Xi.
Before leaving, she asked Jiang Xi, "Can we be best friends for life?"
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Of course."
Yu Baozhen went home, while Jiang Xi continued his studies for a master's and doctoral degree, eventually staying at the university as a teacher.
She had never married. Not long after Yu Baozhen returned home, she married her childhood sweetheart, whom she loved, through her family's arrangement.
Jiang Xi attended her wedding, and during the final group photo, Yu Baozhen held her hand and took a picture with her.
Yu Baozhen said, "We are best friends, just like family."
Later, Yu Baozhen gave birth to a son, and she asked Jiang Xi, his godmother, to help her name him.
Looking at the little child, Jiang Xi felt that inexplicable emotion again; the child was so cute.
If she had a sweet tooth, she would probably be even cuter.
Jiang Xi refused; the child's name should naturally be chosen by the biological mother.
Yu Baozhen looked at the child in her arms, then at Jiang Xi.
She said softly, "I knew I wasn't my parents' biological child when I was very young. My parents were really, really good to me, and I'm very grateful to them. If it weren't for them, I don't think I would have survived."
Jiang Xi listened quietly.
Yu Baozhen laughed and said, "I often have a dream about a girl who looks a lot like me. I dream that she is being bullied, and I really want to help her, but I am powerless to do so. I don't know where she is, I only know that she is not doing well."
Jiang Xi looked up at Yu Baozhen.
"But then the dream changed. She came out and even got into the same university as me."
Yu Baozhen looked at her child, tears falling onto the child's soft cheeks, and asked, "Jiang Xi, will we be best friends for life?"
“Of course, we’ll always be good friends,” Jiang Xi said with a smile.
They are real twin sisters.
Even though they had never lived together for a single day, they still recognized each other the first time they met.
Jiang Xi had her own life, and Yu Baozhen had parents who loved her very much; they both had their own lives now.
Neither of them wanted to disrupt the other's current life, so neither of them brought it up, but they could both understand each other's thoughts.
Yu Baozhen grabbed Jiang Xi's hand and said, "Do whatever you want. We're best friends for life. I'll always be here for you."
"good."
Even though people around her kept talking about Jiang Xi not getting married, Jiang Xi didn't care at all. Those people's words had no effect on her whatsoever.
Even her teacher was puzzled as to why Jiang Xi was unwilling to get married, since the men she introduced to her were all quite eligible.
Knowing that her teacher cared about her, Jiang Xi told him about her past.
She sighed, “My father set a terrible example for me. He didn’t have the courage to marry the girl he loved. He married my mother with resentment, and he didn’t like us children either. He only married us to carry on the family line. Even when he reunited with the girl he loved, he didn’t have the courage to tell my mother. He even made a mistake. Teacher, I don’t have the confidence to accept my marriage.”
This was also the first time the teacher had learned about Jiang Xi's past.
While at school, Jiang Xi never mentioned his family and never went home during winter or summer vacations.
She shouldn't have interfered too much in her students' family affairs, but now that she knew, she felt quite saddened.
It was already quite an achievement for Jiang Xi to be able to break free from such a family.
The teacher didn't introduce any more potential partners to Jiang Xi. Instead, she held her hand and said, "If you're willing, you can come to my house for dinner every Chinese New Year from now on."
Jiang Xi wasn't without suitors, but none of them could move her heart. Later, she adopted a child from an orphanage.
It's a girl, very well-behaved.
From the moment Jiang Xi saw her, his heart trembled.
She adopted the child and named her Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian is a very well-behaved child, and she loves her mother very much.
She knew that her mother loved her very much.
Jiang Xi dedicated his life to his career, and his only love was for his daughter, Jiang Tian.
However, in his final moments, Jiang Xi refused to close his eyes.
Seeing her daughter's red, swollen eyes, Jiang Xi reached out and wiped away her tears, saying, "Sweetie, don't cry."
The system watched the task progress bar, which was stuck at 98%.
"Jiang Xi has a knot in her heart, so even though she is doing well, the host has not completed her task. However, the author is very satisfied and gave the host a good review. If we complete the author's task, then we have also completed our task."
Xiang Bei, however, was not happy.
She knew what was bothering Jiang Xi.
Although her daughter returned to her side in another way, this "daughter" would disappear, probably because she still felt sorry for her daughter.
Especially later on, when the author accompanied Jiang Xi as her adopted daughter, she probably knew about it.
The system asked, "Host, the main system also considers our mission complete. Shall we switch to the next mission?"
Just after the system finished speaking, the large screen suddenly distorted for a moment.
Then a large red alert appeared on the screen.
The system was also bewildered; it didn't know what had happened, as this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.
Just as it was about to transmit the message to the main system, the main system transmitted the message to it first.
The alarm stopped.
Xiang Bei also saw the message, and she laughed, "Let's keep reading. It seems our mission will continue."
The scene shifts again, and Jiang Xi, who was lying in bed, opens her eyes.
She transformed back into Jiang Zhaodi.
At this time, her daughter, still named Tian Tian, was a tiny little girl lying by the bed, looking at her with a worried expression.
Jiang Xi knew that it was because of her unwavering obsession that she was brought into this world.
This is the real world.
She chose this node intentionally.
Looking around, Jiang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth. This was what would happen if she hadn't resisted back then.
"Mommy, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."
The little child held her injured hand, puffed out his cheeks, and blew hard on it for her.
"Mommy doesn't feel pain anymore, because the pain has flown away."
Jiang Xi looked at her daughter and immediately smiled. Just as she was holding her daughter in her arms, the door was pushed open.
That's her current husband, Tian Bin.
She once caught a glimpse of Tian Bin from afar when he was shopping and watching a movie with Wu Yanan.
Seeing Jiang Xi staring at him, Tian Bin felt a little uncomfortable, but he still walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
“Ya Nan didn’t push you on purpose. You’re fine now. Why are you arguing with a patient like Ya Nan?”
“You’re right,” Jiang Xi replied.
She had memories of the past and knew what the man was going to say next, since he had mentioned it before.
She refused and, unusually, resisted. As a result, she was pushed downstairs and is now lying in the hospital.
Tian Bin had no doubt that the Jiang Xi of today was no longer the Jiang Zhaodi he knew.
"The doctor said that Ya Nan's illness is incurable. I don't want her to have any regrets, so we will get a divorce and I will marry Ya Nan."
Jiang Xi remained silent.
"Don't worry, I'm just accompanying her through her final days. Once Ya Nan is gone, I will return to your side, and then we will still have a complete family."
Jiang Xi remained silent.
"You and Tian Tian can stay in the house for now. I'll move to Ya Nan's place."
Jiang Xi then made a move and looked up at Tian Bin.
She had met Tian Bin before, but that was when she met him with Wu Yanan. This was the first time she had seen him face to face like this.
This was the first time I had a clear look at Tian Bin's face.
Jiang Xi didn't make a fuss. She quickly analyzed the current situation before speaking, "I can grant your wish, but I'm worried. What if you change your mind after the divorce and kick me and Tian Tian out? Then my daughter and I will be left with nothing."
“I can write you a guarantee,” Tian Bin said with a smile, looking at Jiang Xi.
He still enjoys the feeling of being fought over and fought for.
Jiang Xi lowered his head and gave a mocking smirk. Writing a guarantee used to be useful. After all, when you needed a letter of introduction to leave, if something happened, you couldn't run away and could go directly to your workplace.
Things are different now. When something happens, people just run away, scattered all over the country, making them hard to find.
Jiang Xi noticed that her daughter's braid was crooked, so she reached out and untied it, then retied it before speaking, "No, I still don't trust you. The house is mine, and Tian Tian will take my surname. Otherwise, I'll make a scene and let everyone know that you two are adulterers."
Tian Bin stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, "Jiang Zhaodi, have you gone mad?"
That's the same old saying: if someone who's always meek and submissive suddenly rebels, they've gone mad.
Jiang Xi covered her daughter's ears, not wanting her to hear those words, and said, "Think about it."
Tian Bin went straight out, and Wu Yanan's voice could still be faintly heard. A little while later, Tian Bin returned.
Looking at Jiang Xi with a complicated expression, he finally sighed. Ya Nan was right; Jiang Zhaodi was a woman whose thinking was still stuck in the old society. Such a woman puts her husband first, so when he goes back in the future, Jiang Zhaodi will still accept him.
This kind of woman is the most soft-hearted; she wouldn't bear to let Tian Tian be without a father.
His gaze fell on his daughter. She was just a girl, so it didn't matter whether she changed or not, since Ya Nan was pregnant with another child.
Tian Bin felt that God was being unfair.
Why wasn't it Jiang Zhaodi who got sick?
Jiang Zhaodi is the only good-for-nothing in the Jiang family. The others are living such good lives, especially Jiang Zhaodi's twin sister, Jiang Yuzhu. She has now married a big shot and will become an official's wife in the future. She is also a college graduate and was assigned a good job as soon as she graduated.
They would meet during holidays and festivals, but he would stand by like a grandson, bowing and scraping to his sister-in-law, Jiang Yuzhu.
Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.
Even his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, despite the factory's poor performance in the past two years and their own chaotic lives, still look down on him.
Thinking about all this, Tian Bin felt that Jiang Zhaodi was useless. If it were Ya Nan instead, with her sweet words, she could definitely coax those people to seduce each other, and he would be worried about not being able to benefit from it.
"Okay, we'll do as you say. The house is yours, and Tian Tian will take your surname."
Jiang Xi nodded, but didn't act on Tian Bin's eagerness to divorce. "Change Tian Tian's surname first, then transfer the house to me. Once that's done, we can get a divorce."
Looking at Jiang Xi's appearance, Tian Bin sneered inwardly, thinking that Jiang Zhaodi was definitely trying to trap him with these things.
He can give up his daughter, but he can easily coax Jiang Zhaodi back the house when the time comes.
Tian Bin didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Zhaodi. He thought it was probably a plan devised by Jiang Zhaodi's family, since no matter what, Jiang Zhaodi was still a member of the Jiang family.
However, after being married for many years, Tian Bin knew about Jiang Zhaodi's situation. There was something wrong with her family, they just didn't like her, so Jiang Zhaodi was very lacking in love. He knew how to coax Jiang Zhaodi into a trance.
Upon seeing that Jiang Tian had changed her name, Jiang Xi hugged and kissed his daughter.
Then he changed his own name as well.
Tian Bin waited outside for a while, and when they came out, he became a little impatient. "Why did it take so long?"
"The process takes this long. If you're not happy about it, go in and talk to them."
Having lived through life, Jiang Xi had become indifferent to many things, and his tone of voice was very calm.
Apart from her daughter, no one could evoke her emotions.
Tian Bin dared not say anything more and went to transfer the house to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi checked it and confirmed that there were no problems before she and Tian Bin went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to make it clear that the house belonged to her, even if they were divorced.
While Tian Bin was getting a divorce, he and Wu Yanan got their marriage certificate.
"Zhao Di, thank you for being willing to make our relationship happen. My child and I will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives." Wu Yanan looked at Jiang Xi, touched her belly, and had a smug look on her face.
"No need to thank me, it's what I should do."
Wu Yanan choked for a moment, feeling that Jiang Zhaodi in front of her looked strange.
After the divorce, Tian Bin couldn't wait to go back with Wu Yanan, without caring about what would happen to Jiang Xi and her daughter.
Jiang Xi watched them leave, then went back to prepare to sell the house.
Are you sure you want to sell these houses, since they'll be demolished for redevelopment?
Seeing the text that had been missing for so long, Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then a little surprised, "You're back?"
I've always been here.
Because Jiang Xi's career was very successful later on, she didn't need to give Bei any guidance. However, Bei hadn't spoken for a long time, and Jiang Xi assumed she had left.
She has lived a whole life, and apart from the people around her, nothing else has changed much.
However, her change ultimately led some things in a different direction.
Before she married Tian Bin, she adopted her daughter Jiang Tian and lived her whole life on her own. Naturally, she knew about the demolition of the houses here.
It just wasn't related to her before.
I have nothing to do with her anymore.
As for Tian Bin from his previous life, I have a vague memory of him. He sold the house before it was demolished. Later, when the news of the demolition came down, he even made the news, constantly claiming that he had been cheated.
Jiang Xi didn't know whether Tian Bin had received the demolition compensation if things had gone according to plan, but that wasn't something she cared about right now.
She can earn money back if she loses it.
Xiang Bei did take a look at the original text. The author said in the book that her father sold the house not long after his divorce because he wanted to do business, and still did not receive the demolition compensation.
He even called her and her mother jinxes, saying that they were the reason he couldn't get rich.
But even though it was Wu Yanan who instigated him to do business and sell the house, he only blames them, mother and daughter.
Jiang Xi didn't care what Tian Bin thought; since the house belonged to her, she had the right to dispose of it as she pleased.
Tian Bin left that day and never came back. Jiang Xi disposed of all his belongings; he sold what he could and threw away what he couldn't.
During that time, they also had someone come and look at the house.
"Sweetie, from now on you'll be living with just your mom."
"And what about Dad?"
"I don't have a father."
Jiang Tian leaned over and kissed her mother, then laughed, "That's great! I don't like Dad, I hate him. I love Mom the most, the most, the most. We'll be together forever."
"Sweetie, we're going to live in a new place, and you'll meet new friends. Are you scared?"
"Will Mommy always stay with Tian Tian?"
"certainly."
"Wherever Mommy goes, Sweetie will go too."
The houses sold quickly. Jiang Xi didn't care about the price at all; as long as they could be sold, it didn't matter if the price was much lower.
It's the late 1980s now, and the early 1990s will still be a golden age. As long as you have the idea to keep going, you can make money.
She bought a plane ticket and headed south with her daughter.
