Xiao Li accepted it with a smile. This old lady was truly kind and understanding; naturally, not just anyone could eat her fruit.
“I run a fruit shop on the street. You can get the fruit from the shop. Yueyue can take whatever she wants to eat, and Aunt Chang will give it to you for free.”
Gu Yue smiled and took Xiao Li's arm. She liked Aunt Chang the most for this; she didn't shrink back or fawn over the Gu family just because they were rich.
Aunt Chang is very generous and makes people feel comfortable.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Mu Yinglan's eyes have fully recovered, and she can see the world clearly again. It feels wonderful. The doctor who was following up with her initially had a dismissive attitude, but in the end, he could only admit defeat.
They memorized the acupuncture points, but the effect was far from good. It could relieve eye pressure, but it couldn't cure the problem at all.
They were completely baffled, and even humbled themselves to ask Xiaoli for advice, but in the end they still got nowhere and had to give up.
?
Wang Qingwei felt he had been incredibly unlucky lately; his arm was broken, and the factory's power had been handed over to the deputy factory director, Hong Tao.
Hong Tao is no pushover; he dislikes Wang Qingwei the most and tries to trip him up at every turn.
"Director Wang, you should just go home and take good care of Miss Jiang. She's pregnant and needs your company. You're not a good husband."
Wang Qingwei frowned. "Let's not discuss these personal matters. When you're at work, you should act like you're at work."
Hong Tao sat casually on the table. "Director Wang, don't be so serious. I'll take you out to have some fun after get off work. This young lady is pregnant, you need to relax too, don't you?"
He was making faces, and Wang Qingwei could tell at a glance that it wasn't a respectable place.
"I'm not going."
Before Hong Tao could say anything more, Wang Qingwei simply dismissed him.
As he calmed down, he couldn't help but recall seeing Chang Xiaoli and her two daughters on the street a few days ago. They had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize them.
Judging from their cheerful and laughing demeanor, they seem to be doing very well.
They really do get better and better after leaving him, while I feel more and more lost.
He got up and went to the workshop, but it was already after get off work hours and the place was empty.
Back then, I was just an ordinary employee, but I lived an incredibly happy life.
I'm busy every day, but my heart is full of love; all I want is for my family to have a better life.
Why did things change later?
His life became a mess after he became the workshop director and met Jiang Lanxin.
He sat at the worker's station, picked up some fabric and started sewing, as if trying to recapture some of the joy he once had.
He didn't stop until midnight. Not wanting to go home, he went straight to the small dormitory in the warehouse to sleep.
He really wanted a cigarette before going to bed, so he lit one despite the rules, and felt much better after smoking it.
He didn't notice that the cigarette butt he threw into the trash can was still smoking.
He was awakened by smoke in his sleep. Still half asleep, he pushed open the door, ran outside, and coughed a lot. When he came to his senses, he was pale as a ghost. The warehouse was on fire.
He tried his best to put out the fire, but it was no use. The warehouse was full of cloth and oil paper, which caught fire very quickly. The fire was too big to be extinguished.
Two hours later, only a pile of ashes remained in the warehouse.
"Awei, how are you? What happened?"
Wang Qingwei sat on the ground; it was all over.
The warehouse not only has a large amount of fabric, but also many finished products. A recent order is about to be delivered, so everything has been packed and placed in the warehouse. It will be shipped out in a few days.
Now everything is gone. This order alone will result in huge penalties for breach of contract, which is beyond what he could afford even if he were sold.
"It's over, it's all over."
Wang Qingwei burst into tears, a grown man crying with tears and snot all over his face.
Jiang Lan hugged him tightly, feeling heartbroken. The two of them stood helpless and bewildered in front of the firelight.
The next day, Wang Qingwei was met with Jiang Dong's questioning.
A folder came crashing down on me.
"Look at the mess you've made! You can't even keep an eye on a warehouse. What good are you?"
Wang Qingwei stood ramrod straight, his face showing dejection.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I really didn't expect this..."
"Call me Chairman. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because of Jiang Lanxin."
"I'm sorry, Chairman, I will take responsibility."
Can you afford it?
Wang Qingwei lowered his head; he had no choice, this was truly beyond his means.
Chairman Jiang was also very troubled, as the warehouse contained not only finished products from the subsidiary but also a significant amount of inventory from the head office.
That batch of fabric was a rare double-faced wool fabric, imported from Austria. Not only was it expensive, but more importantly, it was extremely rare, and it was impossible to find a second batch in a short period of time.
This batch of goods was an order from an overseas customer, and the finished products were about to be cut, but they ran out of fabric.
Now he faces huge penalties for breach of contract, and he doesn't know if he can save his factory.
Wang Qingwei returned home exhausted, and Jiang Lanxin then learned what had happened: her princess dream was about to end, and her family was going bankrupt.
"You jinx! You're the one who ruined my family. I really regret it. I shouldn't have taken you away from me. You're a menace..."
Wang Qingwei didn't say a word. He packed his things and went to the guest room.
As expected, the Jiang family had to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages. The foreign clients were very particular about contracts and refused to make any exceptions. The Jiang family had no choice but to declare bankruptcy, and after liquidation, they had lost all their assets.
Wang Qingwei lost everything in an instant, and he followed Jiang Lanxin to the only remaining three-bedroom apartment in the Jiang family.
Without servants, Jiang Lanxin had to do everything herself, which she found very difficult to adjust to. She blamed everything on Wang Qingwei and would often beat and scold him.
Wang Qingwei also felt guilty and did not resist at all.
Jiang Lanxin felt extremely regretful. She stroked her belly and made a decision in her heart.
Without consulting Wang Qingwei, she went to the hospital and aborted the child. Wang Qingwei had a big fight with her, and the two began a cold war.
Wang Qingwei was deeply disappointed after losing his child.
This was his only son, and he's gone just like that.
When Jiang Lanxin became pregnant, she contacted an acquaintance who confirmed that she was carrying a boy, which finally made Wang Qingwei decide to go home and get a divorce.
In the end, it was all for nothing.
After a period of depression, Wang Qingwei rallied his spirits and focused on his career. He had lost everything, and he had to seize the opportunity to prove that everything still had meaning.
But Wang Qingwei didn't expect that Jiang Lanxin no longer wanted to be with him.
When Wang Qingwei fell on hard times, his idol image vanished, and Jiang Lanxin followed her father's advice to divorce him.
Even though the Jiang family had fallen, they still had some connections. Staying with Wang Qingwei would only be a burden, so Wang Qingwei was kicked out.
Having no money or power, he had no choice but to reluctantly obtain a divorce certificate and return to his hometown.
