When she returned home and heard that she had not completed the task they had assigned her, Old Lady Xia was so angry that she wanted to hit her, but her hungry stomach saved her.
Otherwise, she would definitely be beaten, with two people beating her alone. However, after he prepared the meal, they didn't let her sit at the table, saying it was a punishment for her.
Liu Xiu watched the whole family eat with an empty stomach. When he came back, he was cautious and did not tell them the news that Xia Jin would take action against her work.
After they finished their meal, Liu Xiu went to clean up the table and then started talking about their work. He learned that it was Xia Jin who lost Old Man Xia's job.
Old Lady Xia wanted to go to Xia Jin's house and smash Xia Jin to death. If her old man hadn't lost his job, their family wouldn't have been in such a state.
The house was taken back by someone, and the family lost two-thirds of their income. You know, Old Man Xia has been working for so many years and earns a lot of money every month.
Without the money, their family's life became tight. If he still had a job, they wouldn't have to live in such a situation and have to rent a house.
So when she learned that this was done by the person close to Xia Jin, Old Lady Xia did not dare to hate him and could only transfer all her hatred to Xia Jin.
But Xia Qingqing, who was listening on the side, didn't think so. She had her own ideas. She thought it would be so easy for that person to lose her grandfather's job.
He was able to get some insignificant things printed in their newspapers, which meant that he was very important, as well as the previous incident with County Magistrate Tian.
Now that Xia Qingqing thought about it, she finally understood why Xia Jin knew such a person. If it was just Xia Jin herself, she would not believe it. Now it seems that she knew so many powerful people because of this man.
If I could get close to him, wouldn't I be able to get to know so many people? Besides, he's also good-looking and tall and strong, which makes me feel safe.
And if I could snatch him away, it would just make Xia Jin angry. Besides, if I don't have this help, I don't know what Xia Jin can do to be so arrogant. Then I will definitely teach her a lesson.
She explained that when Ming Xia Jin went out, she had no money, so how could she have opened such a big store? It seemed that she relied on the relationship with this man.
The more Xia Qingqing thought about it, the more determined she became to get this man. He was powerful, wealthy, and good-looking, though he might look a little older.
But she didn't mind it. Compared with what he had, this shortcoming was nothing. Thinking of the scene when she was with him, Xia Qingqing couldn't help but smile.
After laughing, I thought that the most important thing now was that I had to break off the engagement with Luo Zisen. I did love him a little when I was with him, but that was all based on the fact that his father was the deputy factory director.
Now Director Luo's father has gotten into trouble, and I don't know if he can get out. Even if he can, he has lost his job. I don't want to marry him anymore. I don't want to suffer.
So she had to cancel the engagement with him as soon as possible, and then she could separate Xia Jin and the others. She believed that she could definitely get Xia Jin.
But Xia Qingqing didn't think about it. She was not as pretty as Xia Jin, nor was she good at studying or making money. In any case, she was not as good as Xia Jin in any way.
Where does she get the confidence to replace Xia Jin and date Gu Jingmo? Besides, her reputation is not good and she is already engaged to someone. Which good family would want such a person?
Not everyone is Luo Zisen, who is so easily bewitched by her that he loses his sense of direction. Maybe Luo Zisen likes her too much, giving her the illusion that she is very charming.
"Grandpa, please find a chance to cancel my engagement with the Luo family. I have someone better. He's even more powerful than the Luo family. If it works out, all our family problems will be solved."
"Besides, their family is in such a bad state now. They can't help us at all. They might even be a hindrance. Let's quit. What if Deputy Director Luo really goes to jail?"
Old Lady Xia said, "I think this is a good idea. The Luo family is in such a bad state now. They are of no use to us. How can they help us succeed when the time comes?"
"Old man, wait until this afternoon and we will go to their house together to cancel the engagement."
Old Man Xia coughed a few times and said, "Wait a little longer. Let's talk about it after we find a house in a few days. If we go over and tell them now, they'll kick us out. Where will we live then?"
"But you are right. This marriage with the Luo family cannot continue. Our family cannot become relatives with such a family."
Old Lady Xia shamelessly said, "Why are you chasing me away? I'm staying here. Let's see who dares to chase me away."
"Even if we cancel the engagement, we can't let them get away with it so easily. I think the house is pretty good. Let's consider it as compensation from them."
"Our Qingqing is a girl. First, her reputation was ruined by that boy from the Luo family in public, and then she got engaged. If the engagement is broken off, what will become of Qingqing's reputation?"
"It's not too much for us to ask her for a house. A girl's innocence is more important than anything else. If we cancel the engagement, it will be difficult to find another one."
"And Qingqing, who are you interested in? You're so capable. Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was such a person?"
Xia Qingqing said shyly, "Grandma, I just found out he's so capable. Let's keep it a secret for now. You'll know when the time comes."
"As long as I get along with him, you can teach Xia Jin whatever you want. And who knows, some high-ranking officials here might even give our family some respect."
Old Lady Xia clapped her hands and said, "Really? This is fantastic! Our Qingqing is truly capable. The one we talked about earlier was the deputy director's child, but this one is even more impressive."
Old Master Xia said in disbelief, "Is this true? You haven't been deceived, have you? How could such a capable person be interested in a family like ours?"
Her granddaughter wasn't particularly pretty, just pretty. But from what she said, she was the kind of person that even high officials treated with respect.
His identity should not be simple. How could such a person really like his granddaughter? Could he be interested in a family like theirs? Logically speaking, such a family should have no intersection with his own family in this lifetime.
After listening to his granddaughter say so much, Grandpa Xia was afraid that she had been cheated. It didn't matter if she was cheated, the important thing was what if this scammer broke into his house and cheated him of his money.
