"Then I'll wait."
As they were talking, the dishes came up. Looking at the table full of dishes, Pan Qiancheng said, "We are here to eat today, not to them, let's talk about something happy."
After eating for a while, Li Xiangqian said with a smile: "Xia Jin, you always covered your face and didn't talk to us before. I never thought you were such a person."
"You don't know, I was really shocked when you showed your face on the first day. You're so beautiful, why did you cover it up?"
"Also, no matter how Xia Qingqing and the others bullied you before, you didn't say a word. When we couldn't stand it anymore, we wanted to say a few words to help you, but we had no right to do so, so we could only watch you being bullied by her."
"At that time, I never thought you would be so capable, opening your own shop, leaving the Xia family, and living an enviable life on your own. You also stopped pampering Xia Qingqing and became difficult to mess with."
Xia Jin swallowed what he had in his mouth and said, "Isn't it because I wasn't an adult at that time? If I had opened a store or something like that, I definitely wouldn't have had a share."
"I will definitely be taken away by Xia Qingqing's family. And if I'm pretty, they won't let me go so easily. Even if they marry me off, they can get some betrothal gifts."
"At that time, I could only endure it. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me if I tell you this. At that time, I still had hope for my mother and thought that she might love me, but because she was my stepmother, she couldn't show it and could only let me down."
"Actually, when I think about it, I was pretty foolish back then. I still had expectations for that family and even made excuses for them, naively thinking they loved me."
Chen Xin said angrily, "It's all their fault for not being a good person. Xia Jin, you're doing fine now. You're rich, good-looking, and your grades are okay. When you get into a good university in the future, you'll piss them off to death."
Pan Qiancheng said, "They're mistaking a fish eye for a pearl. It's obvious that Xia Qingqing is not as good as our Xia Jin in every way. I wonder if they will regret it when they find out how successful our Xia Jin is in the future."
Chen Xin said indignantly, "There's no point in regretting it. Our Xia Jin won't look back. Besides, Xiao Jin is so amazing. He will definitely become a very powerful person in the future."
Li Xiangqian comforted her and said, "They won't laugh at you. If they don't want you, it means they have no vision. When you make a lot of money, you will use it to kill them."
"No, no, no, you can't throw money at them. You just dress up nicely and hang around their door all day to piss them off."
Xia Jin laughed a few times and said, "I'm glad to have friends like you. I'm glad to meet you, and I'm glad I didn't miss you."
"We're happy to be friends with you too."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "How about we make a deal? The exam is coming up soon, and I hope everyone can get good grades."
"I don't know where you want to go to college. Xiaojin and I want to go to a university in Beijing. If our goals are the same, we can get together often after we get into college."
Li Xiangqian and Pan Qiancheng said in unison, "Then it's settled. We'll meet in Beijing. I hope all four of us will be there by then."
Li Xiangqian continued, "Xia Jin will definitely be fine. The other three of us will supervise each other. Xia Jin, you will be our teacher. If we have any questions, we can ask you for help."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "No problem, let's work hard together."
As they spoke, they all raised their drinks and clinked glasses. The friendship in youth is the purest, without any mixed interests. Xia Jin thought silently in his heart, I hope everyone can be successful and remain good friends forever.
Time passed quickly as they ate, drank, talked about the future and laughed. When everyone said goodbye at the door, the two funny guys, Li Xiangqian and Chen Xin, acted as if they were parting forever.
Xia Jin held her hand and said, "Okay, we'll meet tomorrow. Do you really need to be like this? See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After watching the two people walk away, Chen Xin took Xia Jin's arm and said, "Xiao Jin, come shopping with me. It's still early, and you won't have anything to do when you go home."
Xia Jin thought for a while and said, "I can only accompany you for an hour. Gu Jingmo's colleagues are coming to our house in the evening, so I have to go back early."
Chen Xin pulled her and said, "One hour is just one hour, hurry up and walk."
When Xia Jin returned home, it was a little after three in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the door, she heard voices in the house. She thought, no way, they came so early.
Xia Jin walked to the front of the house, opened the door, and looked at several grown men sitting inside. He stood at the door, at a loss as to what to do, searching for Gu Jingmo in the crowd.
Su Boshan was originally talking to them. When they heard the door open, everyone looked over. Looking at Xia Jin standing at the door, Su Boshan instantly became even more jealous of his captain.
Why does he always have all the good things? He's capable, young, promising, and has a good family background. Now he's found a partner who's so pretty and, I hear, quite capable too. How can he not be jealous?
Seeing everyone staring at her, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello."
When they heard Xia Jin greet them, they stood up and shouted loudly, "Hello, sister-in-law."
The sudden loud noise scared Xia Jin and she almost fell down the stairs. Gu Jingmo saw that she was frightened and hurried to her side to check if she was injured.
Then he turned to the group of people standing there and said, "What are you doing? You're scaring people."
Everyone rubbed their heads awkwardly and gave Xia Jin a flattering smile. Looking at them, Xia Jin smiled and said, "It's okay. Please sit down."
Su Boshan looked at the two people walking in and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, please forgive me. Everyone may be a little excited to see someone as good-looking as you."
"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't stand properly. I don't blame you."
Looking at Xia Jin who was so close to them, she looked even more beautiful. The subordinates looked at Gu Jingmo and then at her, and murmured in their self-proclaimed whispers:
"Our captain is so shameless. He's so old that he's wasting his time on a young girl."
"I finally understand why our captain fell in love this time. It was because of her face."
"Tsk tsk tsk, so this is the captain. I misjudged him."
"Her face is so small, it seems not even as big as my hand. It's so white and tender, her eyes are big, and her eyelashes are so long. Our captain is so lucky."
