Chapter 137 I am the most beautiful girl
"Professor Shu, please lie down. I'll come over to see if there's anything you need."
Jiang Haitang sat next to Shu Qihua and gently held her hand.
"Professor Gu is not here. If you feel unwell, please tell us immediately." Her voice was gentle and concerned, and her eyes were full of worry.
"It's just an old problem I've developed in recent years. It will be cured with some treatment."
"Food, drinks, and medicine have all been delivered to you, so don't worry about it. Look at how worn out your eyes are. Don't let your youth ruin your health."
She held Jiang Haitang's hand with her eyes full of heartache and blame.
"I've been a bit exhausted lately trying to fix the color. Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I want to hurry up and finish it so I can celebrate the holiday with peace of mind."
Jiang Haitang spoke softly with a hint of fatigue in her tone, but her face was full of joy.
"Where are you going for the New Year?" Shu Qihua asked, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern.
Jiang Haitang is a lonely person with no relatives, so he probably has nowhere to go.
"I'm going to the capital with Lu Liangchen during the New Year."
Jiang Haitang did not hide it from Shu Qihua. When she spoke, a happy smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It's time to meet the parents, that's good." Shu Qihua smiled gently, his eyes full of relief.
"Director Lu is a good person. You are a lucky person." She patted Jiang Haitang's hand gently.
"Well, I know, I'm just worried..." A trace of worry flashed in Jiang Haitang's eyes.
"Are you worried that his family doesn't like you?" Shu Qihua understood.
She gently stroked Jiang Haitang's hand and said, "You are a very good girl. Don't worry that they don't like you. Besides, Director Lu is a responsible man. Even if his family doesn't like you, he can protect you."
Her voice was gentle, but it seemed to reassure Jiang Haitang, and the uneasiness in Jiang Haitang's heart gradually disappeared.
Shu Qihua sighed inwardly. Such a good girl had been turned into a divorced woman because of evil. Director Lu's family might not be able to accept this.
During this period, she lived in the factory. Although she had little contact with people, she heard some things about the Li family.
The Li family is not a good family at all. Even a teenage girl is useless.
Not to mention Lee Seung-ri. Although she had only met Lee Seung-ri once, his sinister eyes made her feel uncomfortable for many days.
It can be seen that this family is rotten from the root.
"Haitang, have you prepared the gifts for meeting the elders?" Shu Qihua asked with concern.
Shu Qihua was worried that Jiang Haitang was young and might not have considered these aspects carefully, so she had to remind her.
"I prepared some things. They're not expensive, but they're a token of my love." Jiang Haitang said seriously.
She prepared some cloth, some meat, and some high-quality wool. Although they were not too expensive, she prepared them with care.
Shu Qihua nodded and said, "You're right. It's the thought that counts. A family like theirs shouldn't lack anything. It all depends on the thought. By the way, Haitang, when are you leaving?"
"I just can't leave you on the early morning train the day after tomorrow." Her eyes were full of reluctance and worry.
Shu Qihua smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine here. Go ahead and don't worry. When you come back, I'll be well again, and we can still work together."
With an encouraging smile on her face, Jiang Haitang seemed to see again the gray-haired Professor Shu who encouraged her to be brave and work hard in her previous life.
Professor Shu in her previous life was like a teacher, a friend, and a mother to her.
"Okay, I'm back, let's cheer together."
The two chatted for a while before Jiang Haitang said goodbye and left.
After returning home, Jiang Haitang went to Liu Hongmei's house to pick up Xiao Taozi and started cooking.
In the kitchen, two peeled potatoes were white and were cut into even thin strips by her, shining with a crystal luster.
She cut a handful of tender garlic sprouts into sections...
Xiao Taozi chattered about the interesting things that happened at Liu Hongmei's house, and Jiang Haitang couldn't help but smile as she listened.
Dinner was white rice, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a plate of fried eggs with garlic sprouts.
The garlic sprouts were cut from a plate of garlic she planted in the house. The tender green color looked particularly bright in the winter, like a breath of spring.
When Lu Liangchen returned, dinner had just been prepared.
He pushed open the door and was greeted by the aroma of food, which instantly comforted his tired body and mind.
“I haven’t had a hot meal in some days.”
Lu Liangchen took off his military coat and hung it on the hanger, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
I had anticipated that being a factory director would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
"How are you doing over there?" Jiang Haitang asked while setting the table.
"We should be able to finish the work tomorrow. Secretary Tan will take care of the rest. As long as Zhao Kai doesn't go back, nothing serious will happen in the factory."
Lu Liangchen took Xiao Taozi to wash her hands while answering Jiang Haitang's questions.
At the dinner table, little Taozi was eating happily. Accompanied by her parents, she laughed with satisfaction from time to time.
Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen smiled at each other. The warmth at this moment seemed to dispel all the haze.
After dinner, the water in the kitchen was running. Lu Liangchen rinsed the last bowl carefully and stacked it neatly in the cupboard.
After finishing the tidying up, Lu Liangchen walked into the living room and saw Jiang Haitang sitting on the sofa, knitting briskly with the knitting needle in her hand.
The bright red wool was used by her fingertips to outline the shape of a small hat, with fine and even stitches. She had specially prepared it for Xiao Taozi to go to the capital.
The years are peaceful and quiet. Lu Liangchen wondered if it would be bad if he said something to spoil the mood now.
But in the end, he pulled over a stool and sat opposite Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang looked up and met Lu Liangchen's serious expression, and was stunned for a moment.
She gently put down the wool in her hand, straightened her back, and folded her hands on her legs, like a student waiting for her teacher's lecture.
This well-behaved look made Lu Liangchen's originally prepared harsh words stuck in his throat, and his tone softened unconsciously.
"Haitang, you are too reckless today."
Jiang Haitang lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, thinking of the scene in the factory today, she was still frightened.
When the experiment failed, she was so focused on finding out what went wrong that she completely ignored the potential dangers and ran straight to the warehouse.
She forgot that those with evil intentions would do anything when it comes to profit.
"The factory has been unsafe lately, you know," Lu Liangchen frowned, his eyes filled with worry. "Aren't you afraid those people will become desperate? If you encounter something like this, you should come to me first."
"I was wrong, Liangchen." Jiang Haitang raised her head, her eyes sincere, and she admitted her mistake obediently, "I won't be so reckless again in the future."
She knew in her heart that her impulsiveness not only put herself in danger, but also made Lu Liangchen worried.
Seeing Jiang Haitang's sincere attitude in admitting her mistake, Lu Liangchen didn't want to continue blaming her. He just emphasized solemnly: "Never put yourself in danger in the future."
Jiang Haitang nodded quickly, her eyes gentle but firm: "I remember."
"Also," Lu Liangchen thought for a moment and continued, "You can increase the intensity of your training. Once your physical fitness and fighting skills are improved, you will be able to better protect yourself even if you encounter danger."
In fact, Jiang Haitang’s skills are already quite good and she can deal with two grown men with her bare hands, but Lu Liangchen always feels that it is not enough. He hopes that she can have enough ability to protect herself.
Jiang Haitang wanted to say that her strength was quite good, but seeing Lu Liangchen's face full of concern, she swallowed the words back and just nodded again obediently.
"I understand. I will train hard in the future and will never put myself in danger."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Lu Liangchen's hand across the coffee table. The warmth of her palm conveyed a sense of security and dependence.
The little girl raised her head, a sweet smile bloomed on her small fair face, her eyebrows and eyes curved like a crescent moon.
Lu Liangchen looked at the person in front of him, and his originally serious expression could no longer be maintained, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
He shook Jiang Haitang's hand in return, turned around and walked to sit next to Jiang Haitang, his voice low and hoarse: "I really want to marry you right away."
Jiang Haitang blinked mischievously, a sly smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "Director Lu, you can't take the lead in breaking the law!"
Lu Liangchen gently pinched her face, which felt delicate and smooth. Her skin was much whiter and more delicate than when she first arrived in the city, even better than many of the pampered girls in the city.
"There's really nothing I can do about you." He said helplessly and lovingly.
The slippery touch made Lu Liangchen feel distracted.
He felt that his self-control seemed to be getting worse and worse. If he didn't marry the person he loved, he was worried that he would not be able to suppress the desire in his heart.
Jiang Haitang didn't know that just pinching her face made Lu Liangchen distracted.
Jiang Haitang leaned lightly on Lu Liangchen's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, but a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.
"What if your family doesn't like me?"
Although she has been working hard to make herself better, she still feels a little nervous when facing unknown elders.
She is an orphan and has had a marriage that was not in name only. Will the elders of the Lu family look down on her for this?
Lu Liangchen immediately noticed her lack of confidence and hugged her tighter.
"My family is very open-minded, don't worry. Even if they really don't like you, I can protect you."
He thought silently in his heart, wondering if Director Hu had seen his parents or mentioned Haitang.
"I trust you."
Jiang Haitang nodded, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a little. She suddenly remembered the doubts she had been having and looked up.
"Liangchen, when I first arrived in the city, I was an ugly duckling. Why did you fall for me?"
At that time, her skin was dark and rough, her clothes were tattered, and she looked dull. She probably didn't have the charm to make such an outstanding person like Lu Liangchen fall in love with her at first sight.
Lu Liangchen fell into memories, his eyes gentle.
