To be honest, she did hesitate just now.
After all, although this era is much better than before, if it gets out that she has a secret rendezvous with a man at night, not only will she be pointed at and gossiped about, but she may also lose her job at the radio station.
The eldest sister is already so tired, and if she loses her job, the three of them will have to support themselves. The hardship she endures is self-evident.
After a long silence, Zhao Xuehui felt guilty and sighed, saying, "But you can't suffer like this because of me. Let's call the police and say that we met by chance. No one else will know."
"it's useless."
Zhou Changgui forced a smile at Zhao Xuehui, thinking he looked sad: "There are no witnesses nearby, and I was beaten in the woods. There are no witnesses or physical evidence. Oh well, I'll just have to accept this."
After saying that, Zhou Changgui frowned and subconsciously looked towards the doorway.
There was no one at the entrance, except for one or two doctors who would occasionally pass by.
It's strange, he kept feeling like someone was watching him.
Could it be that this was just his imagination?
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xuehui asked quickly.
"It's nothing, I think I'm a little sleepy, can you talk to me for a bit?"
Zhao Xuehui didn't think too much about it; she was just eager to get home.
My older sister's factory ran into trouble, she's probably still busy there right now, and Xiaosheng can't cook...
"Xuehui, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."
Zhou Changgui asked gently.
Zhao Xuehui regained her composure and looked at Zhou Changgui, who was so badly injured. She felt a pang of pity and nodded.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng had already left the vicinity of the ward and walked to the hospital entrance.
He had seen everything that had just happened, including Zhou Changgui, that scumbag who had been a hypocrite from beginning to end.
It's impossible to tell that he is a very calculating and ruthless person.
If Jiang Sheng hadn't already known Zhou Changgui's true nature through his past life, he probably would have been deceived as well.
The second sister is simple-minded, so it's understandable that she was deceived.
His mind raced, and he quickly came up with an excellent idea.
This time, he wanted to make Zhou Changgui show his true colors!
While thinking about this, Jiang Sheng parked the car in the yard.
My sister's house is in Yanjing City. Although it's not a large mansion, it's still a small, detached house.
Jiang Sheng picked some fruits and vegetables from the garden, washed them, and planned to make a simple vegetable salad.
Seeing that the room was completely dark, Jiang Sheng knew that his older sister hadn't returned either.
After turning on the lights and cleaning the vegetables, Jiang Sheng glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
In those days, because there were few entertainment options, most families would prepare a meal and sit together to eat.
It seems that the matter at his older sister's factory is more complicated than he had imagined.
Just then, the phone rang at home.
Aside from his eldest sister Zhao Nianmeng, who is still working at the factory, Jiang Sheng can't think of anyone else who can call home.
Jiang Sheng stepped forward and answered the phone. Sure enough, he heard his older sister's voice coming from the other end of the receiver.
"Xiaosheng, I'll be back a little late today. You and your second sister don't need to wait for me. Go to bed early after dinner."
The eldest sister's voice sounded slightly tired, and Jiang Sheng felt a pang of worry upon hearing it.
He couldn't wait much longer, so he simply told the truth.
"Big sister, you've been worried about the restructuring of state-owned enterprises lately, haven't you?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because his words surprised his older sister, Zhao Nianmeng.
"Xiaosheng, how...how did you know about this?"
In Zhao Nianmeng's eyes, this younger brother was just a child. She herself didn't understand the reform of state-owned enterprises, let alone Jiang Sheng.
"This matter has been reported in the newspapers recently, so it's hard for me not to know about it."
Jiang Sheng casually made up an excuse, then said seriously, "Big sister, I know you've been busy with this matter these past few days. Once you're done, let's have a good meal together at home. I have something to tell you."
Zhao Nianmeng didn't think too much about it. Hearing this, she just assumed that her younger brother was quite dependent on her, and felt a warmth in her heart, so she nodded.
"Okay, I'll try to go back as early as possible tomorrow. Xiaosheng, go eat soon too. I'll be done with my work soon."
Just as Zhao Nianmeng was about to hang up, a man walked over.
"Director Zhao, the people from above say they want to see the financial statements for the past year or two."
Zhao Nianmeng nodded calmly, while on the other end of the phone, Jiang Sheng's expression suddenly froze when he heard the faint male voice coming from the other end.
If he remembered correctly, this voice came from his past life, from the swindler who deceived his older sister and stole a large amount of state-owned assets!
The thought of that bastard filled Jiang Sheng with intense hatred.
A slight thought crossed his mind, and he tightened his grip on the phone receiver before forcing a relaxed smile and saying, "Then you go ahead and do your work, I won't disturb you any longer."
Zhao Nianmeng casually agreed, gave Jiang Sheng a few more instructions, and then the siblings hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sheng looked at the haphazardly made food on the table, but he no longer had the appetite to eat.
He sat on the sofa with a somber expression and a furrowed brow.
It's no wonder Jiang Sheng reacted this way; he simply hadn't expected that after his rebirth, the course of history in this life seemed to be progressing faster than in his previous one.
At this time in her previous life, the scumbag men who had been with her eldest and second eldest sisters had not yet appeared.
These two people appeared one after the other after the summer vacation ended, which led to the tragedies that followed.
Besides these two people, Zhao Defu also arrived in Yanjing City earlier than in his previous life.
It seems that rebirth can indeed bring about some changes, but this accelerated process makes Jiang Sheng feel vaguely uneasy.
No, he has to get the cannery deal done as soon as possible and then get rid of those two scumbags!
Jiang Sheng ate a little rice absentmindedly, then steamed the rice before leaving home, determined to go to the hospital to find his second sister, Zhao Xuehui.
It's already seven o'clock, and his second sister still hasn't come back. He's really worried about her. Plus, the voice of that scumbag on his eldest sister's phone is so loud that Jiang Sheng really can't sit still anymore.
As Jiang Sheng rushed to the hospital, he saw his second sister, Zhao Xuehui, walking out of the hospital with a stainless steel insulated lunchbox in her hand.
The two met unexpectedly. Zhao Xuehui looked at her younger brother and for a moment forgot to react, standing there stunned.
