"Hello, I'm Tao Ying, Jiang Jiang's friend." Tao Ying introduced herself before Jiang Huan could introduce her.
I don't like that mocking look.
It seems that Jiang Huan's appearance was not accidental.
"Shall we sit down and have something to eat?" Jiang Huan pulled out a chair for Tao Ying.
After the two left, Xia Wenjing also left in a rather disheveled state.
"No need, I've already eaten this morning, you guys eat." Tao Ying nodded politely and placed the plate she was carrying on the table.
"I'll go see her off," Jiang Huan said to his teammates, then followed Tao Ying out.
"I told the gatekeeper to keep an eye on Xia Wenjing's whereabouts." Jiang Huan said directly when he reached the gate and saw Xia Wenjing's somewhat disheveled figure outside.
"Thank you for helping me out of that predicament." Tao Ying nodded, letting out a sigh of relief.
This kind of open and honest personality is much more comfortable than Xia Wenjing's chauvinistic attitude.
“If Xia Wenjing causes you trouble, you can call me,” Jiang Huan said sincerely.
"No need, I'll just call Jiang Jiang," Tao Ying said softly.
"That's fine then." Jiang Huan nodded.
Tao Ying left immediately.
When Jiang Huan returned, his two teammates looked at him with curiosity, asking, "What's going on?"
If this involves Xia Wenjing and Jiang Huan's sister Jiang Jiang, then basically everyone who is even slightly close to these families knows about it.
But who is this woman today? Why is she getting so close to Xia Wenjing again? And Jiang Huan is clearly here because of her.
“She’s my sister’s friend. Our family is afraid that old man Xia Wenjing will cause trouble, so we’ve been keeping a close watch on her from all sides,” Jiang Huan said with a smile.
"I thought you, this ancient iron tree, had finally blossomed," Jiang Huan's teammate said, looking disappointed.
“They have children, you can’t joke like that,” Jiang Huan explained with a smile.
"Hey, I thought you were finally going to have someone to care for you." Jiang Huan's teammate stopped teasing him when he saw this.
The next day, Tao Ying got up very early. Jiang Jiang hired an entire makeup team to do makeup and dress up all the women in the Jiang family.
After getting ready, Tao Ying looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she looked like a completely different person.
Tang Xiao's side also had a very large entourage, clearly showing that the Tang family attached great importance to this wedding, and that Tang Xiao also valued Jiang Jiang very much.
We went to the hotel together, and the newlyweds on the stage were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a feast for the eyes.
“That’s how it should look,” Han Yajuan said softly as she led Xia Ke to Tao Ying’s side.
"Aunt Tao, you look so beautiful today." Xia Ke's eyes lit up as she looked at Tao Ying.
"You look beautiful today too. Are you the only ones here?" Tao Ying asked with a smile.
"Wentao is here too, Sister Tao. I heard my brother-in-law came to see you yesterday?" Han Yajuan asked with a smile.
I think Xia Wenjing is really disgusting; why didn't he do this sooner?
“He asked me about Tang Xiao and Jiang Jiang, and I told him I didn’t know much about it, and then Jiang Huan came,” Tao Ying replied.
"He's really funny." Han Yajuan couldn't help but laugh.
Tao Ying did not respond and did not know about the family's situation.
"Sister Tao, do you plan to take another step forward?" Han Yajuan asked softly.
“My son will have to observe three years of mourning for my husband.” Tao Ying glanced at Han Yajuan with surprise.
I thought Jiang Jiang's mention of my relationship with Jiang Huan was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to get out. It seems this place really isn't where I can stay.
"Sister Tao, what era are we living in?" Han Yajuan looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.
“It has nothing to do with the era.” Tao Ying chuckled and turned to look at Jiang Jiang on the stage.
Han Yajuan wanted to talk to Tao Ying, but Xia Ke pulled her away.
After attending Jiang Jiang's wedding, Tao Ying packed her things. "Auntie, I'll head back now. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days."
"Xiao Tao, stay a few more days. Your aunt really likes you. If you feel that you and Jiang Huan are not suitable, how about your aunt adopts you as her goddaughter?" Old Madam Jiang cursed Jiang Huan in her heart for being useless.
Madam Jiang was truly grateful to Tao Ying.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang. I feel very close to you too." Tao Ying didn't accept the offer, but politely thanked her before Jiang Huan saw her off at the station.
Jiang Huan remained silent throughout the journey, while Tao Ying admired the scenery along the way. Upon arriving at the train station, Jiang Huan helped Tao Ying take down her suitcase. "Can you tell me why?" Jiang Huan asked, looking at Tao Ying.
“We’ve only just met, and we’re from completely different worlds. My husband treats me very well,” Tao Ying replied frankly.
“It’s because my family is too arrogant. Be careful on the road.” Jiang Huan nodded.
Tao Ying carried her suitcase and walked into the station without looking back.
Those in positions of power will never consider the thoughts of those in positions of power.
As the train started moving, Tao Ying's unease slowly disappeared.
After getting off the train, seeing the familiar figures waiting there filled me with a sense of security.
"Mom, are you tired? It's gotten colder here these past few days, so Grandma asked me to bring this for you." Wang Baomin draped the military overcoat he was carrying over Tao Ying's shoulders.
“Not tired at all. How about I buy you a big truck? This trip wasn’t a waste of time. We even managed to recruit some veterans to work with you.” Tao Ying felt herself fastening her coat tightly as she spoke softly to Wang Baomin.
"Mom? Really?" Wang Baomin looked at Tao Ying excitedly.
"Do you think I'd tease you?" Tao Ying looked at Wang Baomin helplessly.
"Mom, you're so good to me. I'll definitely do my best." Wang Baomin was so happy he didn't know which leg to step on.
"When you're out driving a truck, your life is the most important thing, you know? No matter what happens, your first priority is to protect yourself. As long as you're alive, everything else will be alright, understand?" Tao Ying calmly urged from the side.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die," Wang Baomin quickly assured her.
Tao Ying "..."
"Thank you so much, you filial son," Tao Ying said dryly.
“Mom, I’m your son. There’s no need for thanks. It’s only right that I take care of you.” Wang Baomin didn’t understand the hidden meaning in Tao Ying’s words at all.
Tao Ying "..."
When Tao Ying returned home, she was warmly received by her family. She was a little surprised not to see Wang Baohe at dinner. "Where is Baohe?"
“Mom, my second uncle and aunt asked me to help them rent a house. It’s quite close to Baohe School. Chunli and Baohe have both moved there. They didn’t know you were coming back today, otherwise they probably could have come over,” Wang Baomin explained softly.
"How's the apartment you found? Is the environment nice?" Tao Ying asked.
"It's alright. It's two back rooms in a large courtyard, and the rent is five yuan a month. The people in the courtyard are relatively nice too," Wang Baomin replied.
"That's fine then." Tao Ying nodded.
Over the next few days, Tao Ying devoted all her energy to opening the new store.
The old shop hired a young girl to sell goods, and Zhou Daya and Grandpa Wang worked at the old shop.
Tao Ying also hired a young girl to work at the new store.
