"Really? Well, we're in for a treat today. We can eat the captain's cooking. We'll die without regrets."
"Hahahaha, try it first, what if it tastes terrible?"
The group of people chatted and laughed until around nine o'clock before they left. After seeing them off, Xia Jin jumped onto Gu Jingmo's back and said coquettishly, "I'm tired. Can you carry me inside?"
Gu Jingmo held Xia Jin tightly and said gently, "You must be tired. I'll give you a massage later, okay? I'll also boil a pot of water for you to soak your feet, okay?"
Xia Jin leaned on her shoulder and nodded. Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "You're so good."
After they got into the house and put her on the sofa, Gu Jingmo started to get busy. They had just cleaned the table and other things. Gu Jingmo filled a kettle of water outside and started to boil it.
While boiling the water, Gu Jingmo walked to Xia Jin and rubbed her arms. Looking at the person who was massaging her, Xia Jin smiled foolishly.
"Is your side almost done?"
Gu Jingmo rubbed her arm and said, "It's almost there, just waiting for the last step."
"Then your mission is completed, so you should go back."
Gu Jingmo looked at the angry little man and said with a smile: "Why can't you bear to leave me? Then I won't go back. I will stay here with you, okay?"
"No, your work is important. Although I'm a little reluctant, it's okay. I'm going to the capital soon. I really am only a little reluctant."
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. How could I possibly leave you here alone? Once this mission is completed, I'll take my annual leave. I haven't used any of my previous annual leave."
"It's been accumulating for almost a year now. I'll apply for leave when the time comes. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest assured that you'll be alone."
"We can't successfully bring down the Liang family this time. After this incident, our two families are completely at odds. I'm afraid that when they realize what's happening, they'll start with you."
Xia Jin asked with some confusion: "Can I ask, why can't you take them down all at once? Don't you have evidence?"
Gu Jingmo shook his head and said, "Since this matter is confidential, I can't tell you the details."
"But I can analyze the rest with you. The Liang family has come this far mainly thanks to Old Man Liang. As long as this old man is alive, their family will not fall."
It is obvious that Mr. Liang also knows this principle, so no matter what he does, he tries to clear himself of any involvement. For example, in this case, they followed the clues they had previously guessed and found the middleman.
However, the middleman was the fourth young master of the Liang family, who had nothing to do with Mr. Gu. If something happened, the fourth young master Liang would definitely be the one who was abandoned.
What’s more clever is that Mr. Liang was able to clear himself of all charges by saying that he was unaware of the matter, because the middleman was the cousin of Young Master Liang.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Mr. Liang can excuse himself and say that he knows nothing.
"You see, that's why we have no other options."
Xia Jin nodded and said, "I understand. Those who get into trouble are all scapegoats."
"But don't worry too much. This time, the Liang family will suffer a lot. If you want to protect him, you have to give me something in exchange. And I will protect you."
"I'm not afraid."
After the water boiled, Xia Jin soaked her feet and gave Gu Jingmo a goodnight kiss, then went back to her room to sleep. After all, she had to get up early to go to school the next day.
When Xia Jin arrived at the classroom in the morning, most of the students had already arrived. Looking at the students looking towards the door, Xia Jin knew why they came so early.
Xia Jin returned to his seat and waited for the arrival of the protagonists everyone was looking forward to. After a while, Xia Qingqing and Luo Zisen came in talking and laughing.
Xia Qingqing changed her previous humble look and became arrogant again. She was very proud of herself because she just snatched a man away, as if she had won a battle.
Two of the three protagonists have arrived now, and everyone is waiting for Wang Yuanyuan's arrival. Only when she arrives, the play will really begin.
Xia Qingqing was also waiting for Wang Yuanyuan to come. Only when she came could she tell everyone the date of her engagement. Only in this way could she stimulate her. After all, she was the winner of this war.
Xia Qingqing loved to attack the losers. Besides, she was the one who did it first, so she wanted to rub salt into her wounds and make her angry to death.
Everyone waited and waited until class started, but there was no sign of Wang Yuanyuan. Chen Xin muttered to herself, "Is she not coming?"
"Maybe. If I had suffered such a great blow, I wouldn't want to see them in the near future. Didn't you see how smug Xia Qingqing looked? If I were Wang Yuanyuan, I might have gone up and slapped her twice to vent my anger."
Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but if she doesn't come, will Xia Qingqing continue to be so arrogant?"
"Be arrogant. The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable your death will be later."
When the get out of class was over, Xia Qingqing couldn't hold back any longer. Regardless of whether Wang Yuanyuan was there or not, she stood directly on the podium and said sweetly to Luo Zisen, "As you all can see, Brother Zisen and I are getting engaged. It's this Saturday. I hope everyone can come and support us."
After saying that, she pulled Luo Zisen back to her seat. Many people gave her polite instructions, and Xia Qingqing accepted them sweetly and proudly, fearing that others would not know that she was engaged to Luo Zisen.
After hearing her engagement date, Chen Xin smiled and said to Xia Jin, "Why did you choose such a date? Isn't that the date Wang Yuanyuan and her husband had been planning?"
"Xia Qingqing, don't you find it disgusting? Really."
"As long as she can marry into the Luo family, this little grievance doesn't matter. Besides, she probably doesn't have a choice. After all, the Luo family doesn't like her, so it's not worth choosing a new date and holding a new ceremony for her."
After everyone around had left, Xia Qingqing walked up to Xia Jin and said, "Xia Jin, you're coming too. I really want to receive your blessing."
"Besides, at an engagement ceremony like this, Uncle Luo is so powerful, there must be a lot of leaders there. You might be able to meet some of them when you go. After all, if you rely on yourself, you will never be able to establish any relationship with them in this lifetime."
"You're my good sister, aren't you? You should thank me for giving you this opportunity to meet so many great people."
Xia Qingqing said proudly. Xia Jin looked at her and said, "Why are you making so much noise? I didn't want to go at first, but since you tried so hard to invite me, I'll give you a favor and go and take a look."
