Jiang Huan: "...Is this too presumptuous?"
Xia Wenjing was six years older than him.
Xia Ke ignored Jiang Huan, helped Tao Ying into the car, and then got in herself briskly.
"What are you standing there for?" He couldn't help but shout when he closed the car door and saw that Jiang Huan still hadn't moved.
Jiang Huan immediately got into the car and took the two of them for a short tour of Shanghai, not returning until 8 p.m.
The next day, Jiang Jiang took Tao Ying to see Tang Xiao and told him about Tang Ying's desire to find a veteran.
"Sister Tao, I fully support your idea. After I marry Jiang Jiang, I will help you contact suitable candidates. I have many good soldiers under my command who are quite capable in various aspects, but they are not very good at interpersonal relationships. Even if these people are transferred to civilian jobs, they will not have a smooth life." Tang Xiao said to Tao Ying earnestly.
Tang Xiao attributed the success of Jiang Jiang's relationship to Tao Ying, which made her feel closer to Tao Ying.
"Thank you for your help. As long as you have good character, I will definitely provide you with a guarantee. The salary will not be lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperative's fleet," Tao Ying said gratefully.
"Sister Tao, you don't need to be so polite. This kind of thing is mutually beneficial. If you can accept more people, we should thank you." Tang Xiao replied earnestly.
"Then I'll first build up my network and capital, and then try to open a factory." Tao Ying's eyes lit up. Was she about to embark on the future of a military-industrial enterprise?
"Sister Tao, shouldn't you be living a life of leisure?" Jiang Jiang couldn't help but complain as she looked at Tao Ying, who was full of energy.
"Age is a physical limitation, but not a mental one. Although I am forty-five years old, I am young at heart. Otherwise, how could I talk to you so much? I will actively keep up with the times," Tao Ying said with great enthusiasm.
Jiang Jiang "..."
"Don't underestimate me just because I'm uneducated. I'm seriously studying English and chemistry, striving to improve my personal qualities," Tao Ying continued.
To outsiders, she appears proactive, hardworking, and very intelligent, but little do they know that she actually holds a master's degree.
"Sister Tao, you seem to have so much energy." It's hard for Jiang Jiang not to feel envious.
“Then let’s improve together,” Tao Ying said cheerfully.
Tao Ying declined the Jiang family's offer to have Jiang Huan accompany her, and instead borrowed a car from Jiang Jiang.
I spent three days exploring the city.
On the fourth day, Tao Ying had just left the compound when she saw Xia Wenjing waiting there.
Tao Ying originally intended to speed away, but Xia Wenjing waved to her.
Tao Ying stopped the car, rolled down the window, and looked at Xia Wenjing with feigned surprise. "Commander Xia."
"Tao Ying, can you sit down for a while? I have something to ask you." Xia Wenjing noticed that Tao Ying's tone was a little stiff.
In less than six months, Tao Ying seemed to have become a completely different person.
If you bumped into her on the street, you probably wouldn't believe that this person is Tao Ying.
This woman is truly enigmatic; there's a striking incongruity between her life story of over forty years and the reality she portrays.
I just always felt that this person wasn't like that timid middle-aged woman.
He was an excellent and well-trained spy.
But no evidence could be found, and various investigation results all indicated that the woman was herself.
But ever since he met this woman, his life has undergone a complete transformation.
First, Coco wasn't as close to me anymore.
Then there's Jiang Jiang, who seems to have suddenly become a different person.
It was as if someone had suddenly swapped souls with her, and she spoke harshly to her as if she were her enemy.
Xia Wenjing watched Jiang Jiang grow up, and the young girl liked him.
However, Xia Wenjing did not want to delay the young girl's future.
However, Jiang Jiang's persistence had moved him, and he thought that if Jiang Jiang still insisted in two years, he would marry her.
However, Xia Wenjing found it hard to accept the girl's sudden change.
Especially those words Jiang Jiang said to me that time.
It made Xia Wenjing feel somewhat disconnected.
They were like sticky candy before, how did they suddenly become the other extreme?
Then there's Tang Xiao, that young man, an absolutely promising talent. How could he be willing to marry Jiang Jiang, who is older than him and has been following him for so many years, as everyone knows?
Although Xia Wenjing spoke in a questioning tone, he immediately opened the car door and got in after speaking.
Tao Ying: "..." This person is as ugly as ever.
Without saying a word, he stepped on the gas and sped off like an arrow.
"Drive more steadily." Xia Wenjing was startled, and his tone was displeased.
Tao Ying acted as if she hadn't heard, continuing to press the accelerator and slam on the brakes.
It was only at this time, when there were almost no cars on the road, that Tao Ying had room to maneuver.
Xia Wenjing had no idea Tao Ying would do this.
The entire building almost collapsed.
Her once meticulously styled gray hair, coated with hair wax, was now disheveled, making her look somewhat messy.
"Stop! Stop the car!" Xia Wenjing shouted loudly after walking less than a kilometer.
Tao Ying suddenly stepped on the gas, sending Xia Wenjing straight off his seat.
"Commander Xia, what are you doing? I don't even know how to drive, and you're making such a fuss. You're over fifty years old, how can you be so unsteady? You scared me to death!" Tao Ying looked at Xia Wenjing with a tense expression, her voice filled with fear.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Commander Xia, I didn't mean to talk to you like that. I was just scared by you." Tao Ying then quickly apologized, as if she were frightened.
"You, you can't drive?" Xia Wenjing looked at Tao Ying with a deathly pale face.
He then hurriedly opened the car door, his legs trembling as he got out, and vomited profusely by the roadside.
Looking at that figure from behind, I felt a sense of loneliness and isolation, like that of an elderly person.
Tao Ying really wanted to record it and send it to Jiang Jiang.
"Commander Xia, are you alright?" Tao Ying, her expression still filled with fear, ran over.
"I only drove when Coco and I were in trouble that time. My family doesn't have a car. I only had the chance to get a car again when I came to Jiang Jiang's place. Speaking of which, you are the second person to ride in my car." Tao Ying said with a slightly cautious tone.
Xia Wenjing “…”
"I'll drive." Xia Wenjing was genuinely afraid of dying young.
"No way, this is Jiang Jiang's car. I'm afraid Jiang Jiang will get angry if you ride in it. People of your social class are not people I can afford to offend," Tao Ying quickly refused.
"Is she crazy? How could she dare lend you her car? Isn't she afraid someone will die? Jiang Jiang is definitely mentally unstable." Xia Wenjing couldn't hold back any longer and broke down.
“I didn’t ask you to take a car,” Tao Ying said, looking at Xia Wenjing.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." Xia Wenjing's expression was very unpleasant.
"I'm not hungry. It's only 8:30. I ate a lot this morning," Tao Ying said softly.
The next chapter will be posted later, probably around 11:30 PM.
