Chapter 485 Extra: Meeting Qiuxia Again
"Your daughter?" Aunt Jiang asked in disbelief.
"Jiang Xin, call me great aunt." Jiang Xue said, pointing at Great Aunt Jiang.
Then other people gathered around, and Jiang Xue said to Jiang Xin: "This is grandma and grandpa, this is great grandpa, great grandma, little grandpa and little grandma."
"Jiang Xin, right? I'm your aunt. Dear aunt." Jiang Lu squeezed in and said to Jiang Xin.
Xu Mo followed Jiang Xue's lead and Jiang Xin greeted everyone politely and modestly according to the names her mother had told her to address.
"Why didn't you tell your family about your marriage? You only brought the child home after he grew up." Liu Yan complained dissatisfiedly.
Then he looked at Xu Mo and found that he was the same boy he had seen at his eldest son's wedding.
Look at this little girl, she is probably about ten years old. She had been wondering why her eldest daughter was still not married at such an old age. It turns out that she had been married for a long time.
She felt a little bad that he didn't tell his family about his marriage and they didn't contact him often, but he didn't tell his parents about such a big thing.
Jiang Xue asked Jiang Xin and several other children of her age to go play. Xu Mo stopped his daughter, went back to the car to get some mosquito repellent toilet water, and sprayed a layer of it on his daughter's exposed skin.
He just saw several children with lumps on their bodies and faces. It's summer now and there are many mosquitoes in the countryside. Jiang Xin has a physique that is more attractive to mosquitoes. After being bitten, it is not easy to heal, and the redness, swelling and itching can last for a long time.
When the two were away, Aunt Jiang asked gossipingly, "The child's father is quite attentive. Xiaoxue, why did your daughter take your last name Jiang?"
Jiang Xue did not explain much to these relatives, "Yes, take my last name."
It turns out he’s a gigolo, Aunt Jiang thought.
Unless he is a gigolo, which man would want his child to have the woman's surname?
As he said this, the respect in his eyes when he looked at Xu Mo immediately disappeared.
When a man has money, he finds a young girl and the child takes the man’s surname. When a woman has money, she finds a gigolo and the child takes the woman’s surname.
It’s normal to think this way.
Liu Yan, however, saw her sister-in-law's expression and immediately explained for Jiang Xue's sake and her own. "They were high school classmates, and my son-in-law was admitted to Beijing University."
"He is from S City, and his family is not bad."
"My brother-in-law is now the youngest professor at Peking University. I have even seen videos of him teaching." Jiang Lu added.
Everyone else was surprised.
It is natural that Jiang Xue finds an excellent man, and she herself is also excellent.
He traveled abroad and started a company. The car he drove back from the funeral cost two to three million yuan, according to the younger generation who know about cars.
There is only one boy who is so outstanding, and the child is willing to have the surname Jiang.
The world has really changed.
Some older people looked at Jiang Xue with disapproval.
At this time, Jiang Xue met relatives from her aunt's family, including her aunt's sister-in-law Qiuxia.
She has changed a lot and gained a lot of weight. He was a few years older than Jiang Xue, and when the two of them stood together, he looked much older than Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue didn't recognize her at first, so Qiu Xia asked hesitantly, "Are you Jiang Xue?"
Her current face overlapped with the face in her memory. Jiang Xue called her name: "Qiuxia."
When you meet old friends, you must chat and talk.
The two of them were in front of the mourning hall, folding paper money and chatting.
Qiuxia was still very talkative. Old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time would definitely ask about each other's recent situation when they met. She knew Jiang Xue a little bit through her sister-in-law. She originally thought that Jiang Xue was well educated, had a high degree, and was so rich that she would be high and mighty. Unexpectedly, she was quite approachable and listened to her talk about her recent situation with a smile.
Qiuxia took her children back to her grandmother's house for the summer vacation. She bought a house there.
She gave birth to three children, a son and a daughter, the older one is sixteen or seventeen years old.
The youngest is about the same age as Jiang Xin.
The two of them couldn't help but talk about Yu Juan.
"Yu Juan and I never had any contact again. I went to her home later and her parents said she had been married a long time ago. She was quite pitiful. I heard she didn't even have a wedding. I don't know how she is living now." Qiuxia said with regret.
"I'm in touch with Yu Juan." Jiang Xue said.
"Oh?" Qiuxia was a little surprised. I didn't expect the two of them would be in touch.
"She sold lunch boxes with you back then. Later, you called your current husband, my aunt and uncle, and her parents over, beat her, locked her up at home, and planned to marry her off. She ran away from the rented house and came to find me."
She felt a little embarrassed when Jiang Xue mentioned this experience again. It was also her responsibility that Yu Juan's parents came here.
Since then, Yu Juan changed her contact information, and she never met her again when she returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year, and she never heard from her again.
"How is her life now? What is she doing? Is she married?" Qiuxia asked Yu Juan a series of questions. She really cared.
"I'm married and a good friend of my child's father." Jiang Xue replied.
Yu Juan and Qin Liang got married when their child was in kindergarten.
Qiuxia knew Jiang Xue’s husband. She just came over and stood quietly beside Jiang Xue, watching the two of them talking and smiled at her in a friendly manner. Jiang Xue is probably 35 years old, but she looks like she's in her twenties. Her husband, a grown man, is fair-skinned, tall, and handsome. They are classmates, so he should be the same age as Jiang Xue, and he looks as young as her.
Looks to be in his early twenties.
He was wearing glasses and looked well-educated and had a good job.
Not long after Xu Mo stood next to Jiang Xue, he was called away by Jiang Lu's husband. The two of them seemed to be asked by the receptionist to go to the street to buy something.
"They have a daughter who is three years older than my daughter. She now lives in Kyoto," Jiang Xue added.
"I'll give you her WeChat account. I remember you two had a good relationship before." Jiang Xue suggested.
"Okay." Qiuxia agreed readily. The two of them were best friends when they were little girls, and she also wanted to find her old friend again.
Then Qiuxia and Jiang Xue added each other on WeChat first, and then added Yu Juan, who was recommended to her by Jiang Xue. Yu Juan did not approve her for a long time. She looked at Jiang Xue's circle of friends. She did not post frequently, but there were some photos of her taking her children out to play in the existing circle of friends. Judging from the IP, there were both domestic and foreign photos. It's great to be rich and happy, Qiuxia sighed.
She didn't say much to Jiang Xue. She came to express condolences and went to eat after the banquet started.
During the meal, she sat next to her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law's sister was also at the table.
With a good-looking girl in her teens.
As we were talking, I realized that this little girl was Jiang Xue's daughter.
Whether it was her sister-in-law or her elder sister, everyone at the table was very caring towards the little girl. The little girl was also very polite. She ate quietly and listened to others chatting.
Most of the classmates were middle-aged women, and they talked more about their children's studies. Then her sister-in-law said to Jiang Xue's daughter, "Jiang Xue's daughter is really well raised by her. Jiang Xin, ask your mother to give birth to a younger brother for you later."
"You have such good genes and your mother is so rich. It's a pity that you don't have a younger brother."
"Little sister, what are you saying in front of the child?" Aunt Jiang immediately frowned and stopped her sister.
The girl named Jiang Xin was not angry. She spoke calmly and clearly:
Dear aunt, my mother has the final say on whether to have the baby or not. You have to go and talk to her.
"I'm still a child. Are you telling me this to use me to criticize my mother?
I actually don't quite understand. You just said that your children are here to collect debts, and the next moment you are advising others to have children. Instead of worrying about other people's affairs, you might as well live your own life well and raise your children well. ”
This child doesn't talk like a child at all.
He knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was not at all timid just because the other party was his elder, and his rebuttal was well-reasoned and well-founded.
Jiang Xiaodie was so angry that she wanted to get angry like an elder and accuse Jiang Xin of talking to her elders like that. Looking at Jiang Xin's demeanor and the look in her eyes, the words came to her lips but she swallowed them back.
"I am being nosy. I won't say anything more. Let's eat."
After returning home, Qiuxia looked at her three children, each holding a mobile phone, not knowing how to sit or sleep, and her husband, who was lying on the sofa with his feet tucked in, with a big belly.
Sighed.
She can't be compared with Jiang Xue, there is no comparison.
There is a huge gap in educational background between the two of them, and she has always known that she and Jiang Xue are from different worlds.
But Yu Juan is not. . She always thought that she and Yu Juan were from the same world, but she didn't expect that it wasn't the case.
Yu Juan passed her friend's name, but she didn't chat with Yu Juan immediately. Instead, she looked through Yu Juan's circle of friends.
Her husband is a PhD, and there is an early circle of friends where she took photos of her husband’s PhD graduation.
The other person seems to be younger than her and looks okay. Judging from his circle of friends, he is quite romantic and gives flowers and gifts on holidays.
Wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, birthday.
The gifts included flowers and presents. She even posted on her Moments to complain that the gift her husband chose was too masculine.
She only received flowers when she was dating, but after she got married and had children, she seemed to have never received any flower gifts again.
Turning from the bottom to the top, the children are very outstanding, with various hobbies and interests, and various medals in competitions.
She took more photos of various delicious foods.
From these photos, we can see that her house is warmly decorated and has a large kitchen.
Among the recent photos, there is a photo of her family of three and Jiang Xue’s family of three.
Her face was very similar to the one in my memory. Time seemed to have left no traces on her face. On the contrary, her temperament and the feeling she gave made her many times more beautiful than when she was young.
She looks so young, her figure has not changed, and she smiles gently and confidently in front of the camera.
The man who had his arm around her shoulders was tall and had a smile in his eyes.
She and Jiang Xue's family are obviously from the same world.
They look like they are living freely and happily.
As she was watching, a video call rang. It was from Yu Juan. Qiuxia's finger remained on the answer button for a long time without connecting.
She suddenly didn't want Yu Juan to see her like this, with a double chin, bad skin on her face, and spots and lines on it. It was obvious that Yu Juan's starting point was not as good as hers. When they were friends, she always thought that her parents were happy, treated her well, and planned for her.
Yu Juan is a stepmother. Her father doesn't love her and her mother doesn't care about her. She is just a tool for them to make money.
Even when the two of them were running a meal box business, everyone praised her for her eloquence and her confidence and generosity in dealing with people. After the two of them parted ways, her meals were not as delicious as Yu Juan's, but her business was better than Yu Juan's.
Because she is good at dealing with things, she has always felt that she is happier than many girls of the same age who grew up with her.
He made money selling boxed lunches in his early years, and later he opened a restaurant. He had the ability to make a living, so he lived a comfortable life. She bought a car and a house in the city, and had a son and a daughter. Her husband and parents all respected her.
She is often smug.
She combed her hair again, put some powder on her face, applied lipstick, and drew her eyebrows.
After changing into clean clothes and finding a place with good lighting and a good angle for the camera, she made a video call to Yu Juan.
Her husband joked with her, "I knew you were video chatting with your former best friend, but I thought you were video chatting with your first love. You are so particular."
Qiuxia said to her husband angrily: "You don't understand."
