When the two of them sat down, Chen Xin hurriedly asked, "Tell me what's going on."
Xia Jin said slowly: "That night... they were all arrested, and I went home."
Chen Xin asked, "What about the subsequent consequences? How will they be punished?"
Xia Jin said, "I'm not sure yet. We're still working on it. It's impossible to investigate something so quickly."
Chen Xin said, "Then tell me the result. I want to see what kind of punishment those people will receive." As he was talking, Chen Xin suddenly thought of something and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "That's not right. Who was the person who saved you? How could it be such a coincidence that he saved you and have such a powerful connection?"
Xia Jin leaned over to Chen Xin's ear and whispered, "That's my boyfriend. He's awesome."
Chen Xin shouted in surprise, "Man..." She couldn't control her tone because of the surprise, but fortunately Xia Jin was quick to cover her mouth. Chen Xin, who had calmed down, asked with an expression of "tell the truth," "When did this happen? How come I don't know? And do you know his identity? Is he lying to you?"
Xia Jin said, "It's about the day you and I went to eat hot pot. I was so conflicted that I didn't tell you in time. There shouldn't be any problem with his identity. He knows so many people, what can he possibly want from me?"
Chen Xin said with a look of disappointment, "Ajin, you don't know anything about your beauty. How come he doesn't covet you when you're so pretty? No, I'm worried. Later, ask him out to show me. I'll check on him for you."
Xia Jin asked jokingly, "You're helping me check, have you ever been in a relationship?"
Chen Xin said, "Xia Jin, you're so annoying. Besides, who says you can't be a checker if you're not in a relationship? Although I don't have any practical experience, I have a wealth of theoretical knowledge."
"Besides, you've fallen out with the Xia family, and you have no one to back you up. What if he sees you in this state and bullies you? Well, as your good friend and half-family member, of course I'll go and support you, test him, and let him know that we, Ajin, have someone to rely on."
Xia Jin, you never thought that Chen Xin, who has always been carefree, could think of this. Listening to what Chen Xin said, Xia Jin's heart was filled with ripples. Xia Jin thought, "It turns out that someone cares about me too." After hearing these words, Xia Jin said to Chen Xin with red eyes: "I will protect you too. Let's be good friends for life."
Chen Xin said, "Of course. I tell you, if you're lonely, you can come to my house and treat my parents as your parents, and my home as your home. I tell you, they love you very much."
Xia Jin said doubtfully, "Like me? How could that be? I haven't even met them."
Chen Xin said excitedly, "Of course I told them. After I told them, they all felt so sorry for you, and they even said they wanted to adopt you as their goddaughter. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would mind."
Xia Jin said, "Why would I mind? I will definitely visit my uncle and aunt during the winter vacation."
Chen Xin said, "Then we have a deal, don't forget it."
"No."
Chen Xin suddenly thought of something and said, "When will your friend let me meet him? I'll give him a test for you."
Xia Jin looked at Chen Xin with amusement and said, "Wait until winter vacation. I'll introduce you two to each other at noon on the second day of winter vacation. The location will be at the hot pot restaurant."
Chen Xin was satisfied when she heard this and said, "I'll remember that. I'd like to see what kind of person could kidnap a beauty like our Ah Jin."
Every day, he went to class and went to the store as usual, and soon the New Year's Day holiday arrived. During this period, Xia Qingqing and Wang Yuanyuan had become incompatible. Wang Yuanyuan took advantage of the Luo family's favor to show off in front of Xia Qingqing all day long. Xia Qingqing would give Luo Zisen a cold look every time she heard those things from her, but Luo Zisen couldn't blame Wang Yuanyuan and couldn't bear to leave Xia Qingqing, whom he loved, so he could only endure it.
After these days, Luo Zisen hated Wang Yuanyuan even more. He had lost patience with Xia Qingqing a few days ago, and when Xia Qingqing discovered the problem, she turned back into her pitiful little white flower, making Luo Zisen hate Wang Yuanyuan even more. The relationship between the three of them made Xia Jin and the others watch the drama every day, and every day was so exciting.
Gu Jingmo found six veterans for Xia Jin, two of whom had some leg problems, so Xia Jin arranged for them to work in the kitchen of a hot pot restaurant. He also arranged for the other four to work in the old restaurant, where they were responsible for protecting the safety of the employees.
Xia Jin has been looking for a house during the New Year's Day holiday. Since there is only one hot pot restaurant in the county, there is always a queue every day, and some people come from far away to eat, so every time Xia Jin goes to the restaurant, there are diners urging her to open a new store.
Xia Jinka looked at the deposit in his passbook and found that after deducting the original money in it, the three stores had already earned nearly 100,000 yuan. Xia Jin clapped his hands and decided to open the store. What would he do with the money if he didn't open a store? It would depreciate in a few years. It would be better to make money from the money.
So Xia Jin has been looking for a house these days, while Gu Jingmo has been free these days. He said that it is because the investigators have stopped their activities and they can take a break.
What Xia Jin didn't know was that the Xia family had also set their sights on her two shops. The newly opened spicy hot pot shop was close to the Xia family, and the neighbors often ate there. Every time they came back from eating, they would mock the Xia family for having lost a golden doll that could make money, and they would complain about how expensive the food inside was. Although Mrs. Xia would always scold the neighbors who laughed at her, she still wanted to know if Xia Jin's shop was really that profitable.
So every day she would squat on the other side of the street and secretly observe the situation in Xia Jin's store. Seeing that Xia Jin's store was always full every day, Old Lady Xia secretly wondered how much money he could make. If it weren't for that dead girl making such a fuss, all the money would now belong to her and her precious grandson.
Regardless of secretly observing, Old Lady Xia went in to eat once. However, looking at the prices of the ingredients, she chose a few vegetarian dishes. After eating, she sat there and did not leave. In the end, the waiter came over to urge her to leave.
As soon as Mrs. Xia returned home, she told Mr. Xia what she had seen. "Old man, I went to see. I wonder how much money that bitch's shop makes in a day. I estimate that it's no problem to make a few hundred yuan."
Mr. Xia sat on the sofa and asked, "Is there really so much?"
Old Lady Xia gritted her teeth and said, "That's still an understatement. You don't know that girl is a ruthless person. She only sells a few potato chips for ten cents, and yet those people still go there every day to eat them, and they often choose a lot at a meal."
