"I saw Ji Yanchen!"
His voice was very low.
"What?! He's in the city?"
Li Xiaorou's hand trembled, and the wine spilled onto the table, forming a small puddle.
She hurriedly tried to wipe it with her sleeve, but her heart was racing uncontrollably.
"Not only did he come, he also brought his beautiful wife, and they were spending money like water at the department store!"
"You didn't see it, he bought the Shanghai brand watch on a whim, pulling out nothing but ten-yuan bills!"
Zhou Mingyuan sneered, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Li Xiaorou's pupils suddenly contracted.
The events of a few days ago flashed through her mind, and she insisted she wasn't dreaming; Ji Yanchen must have hidden that gold!
"Besides the gold in the Ji family's old mansion, where did he get the money?!"
"They must not have searched the place properly when they raided it before. A bunch of useless trash!"
Zhou Mingyuan, his face grim, gritted his teeth and poured himself another glass of wine.
Li Xiaorou slowly sipped the cheap liquor in her glass, a calculating glint in her eyes.
She approached Ji Yanchen solely for the gold, and in her previous life, she had even succeeded in obtaining it several times.
But when she went to the Ji family's old house a while ago, the gold disappeared without a trace, and she almost ended up in jail. She even thought there was no such thing as gold.
And Ji Yanchen actually got married?!
"He's married? Who's that woman?"
She suddenly asked.
"The new educated youth who came to your village is named Lin Zixi."
Zhou Mingyuan stared at her intently, his eyes sharp as if trying to see through something.
Li Xiaorou's chopsticks fell onto the table with a thud.
Lin Zixi?!
Isn't he just that educated youth who got into a top university in his past life?
How did she end up getting involved with Ji Yanchen?
Could it be... that she was reborn too?!
"I'll go back to the brigade tomorrow."
Li Xiaorou suddenly smiled, but her eyes were icy cold.
She recalled the fawning faces of the villagers when Lin Zixi was admitted to university in her previous life.
If this woman really did reincarnate and even got her hands on Ji Yanchen's gold... that's a huge sum of money!!
"I'll go back to the village tomorrow and inquire about this matter first."
"By the way, have you been able to find any high school textbooks lately? The college entrance exam will be reinstated soon, so we need to start preparing."
She changed the subject and asked the man in front of her.
"You only graduated from elementary school, and you want to go to university??"
"You still can't figure it out even if you do it all over again? Making money is the real deal now, what's the point of studying?!"
Zhou Mingyuan scoffed, looking her over with disdain.
Li Xiaorou's face flushed instantly, and she gripped the wine glass tightly until her knuckles turned white.
Zhou Mingyuan will never understand how envious she was of those college graduates returning to the city in her past life.
In this life, she will never miss the chance to change her destiny again.
She wanted the entire village to fawn over her!
"You should know that the college entrance examination will definitely be reinstated! Even if you don't want to go to university, it's always good to prepare more books!"
She suppressed her anger.
"Save your breath! What's the point of collecting that waste paper?"
"Instead of wasting time on this, you should think about how to get your hands on the Ji family's gold!"
"If you're going to collect those waste papers, don't blame me for not warning you. It's still a crackdown period, so be careful!"
Zhou Mingyuan impatiently interrupted her, leaning closer and breathing his alcohol fumes into her face.
Li Xiaorou lowered her eyes, concealing the anger within them.
Of course she would be careful, not only of the crackdown, but also of this self-righteous man in front of her.
Once she finds the gold and receives the study materials, she will make everyone who looks down on her pay the price!
