bZhang Yulian wore a goose yellow skirt today, permed her hair into big wavy curls, and wore a pair of high-heeled sandals, looking very fashionable.
As soon as she came in, she attracted everyone's attention.
"Zhang Yulian is getting better and better at dressing herself up. It seems that working in a barber shop is different. Look how fashionable she is."
"That's right. When I first came here, I was just a little girl. I would blush when I talked to people. Now you see, I've been working in the barber shop for three years and I can chat with anyone."
Others also followed suit and discussed in low voices.
Zhang Yulian enjoyed the envious looks from everyone. It felt so good to be noticed. She straightened her body even more and walked with rhythm.
Zhang Yulian dressed up specially today. She had just received this month's salary and spent all the money on clothes and shoes.
Originally, she was reluctant to spend so much money, but who knew that Hao Ying would scold her for being stupid and dumb. She had been with Jiang Xun for so long but hadn't even touched his hand, let alone made Jiang Xun fall in love with her.
So Hao Ying gave Zhang Yulian some advice, telling her to be willing to invest in herself and dress herself up beautifully, so that she could win a man's heart.
...
...
To use Hao Ying's original words, if you can't even attract a man's attention, how can you expect him to be sincere to you? It's simply a fantasy!
Zhang Yulian didn't believe it at first. She always felt that Jiang Xun was not the kind of person who judged people by appearance.
But one time, when Ye Li wore a pomegranate red long dress, Jiang Xun's eyes seemed to be glued to Ye Li. His obsessed look made Zhang Yulian jealous.
Zhang Yulian later tried to carefully test Jiang Xun's side many times and asked about his well-being, but he never even looked at her.
The feeling of always being loved but not being able to get it is too painful, so at this time Zhang Yulian thought of Hao Ying's reminder: dress herself up beautifully and outstandingly to attract Jiang Xun's attention.
Hao Ying said that the information Zhang Yulian obtained from Ye Li was pitifully little, and if she could not take down Jiang Xun, Hao Ying's help to Zhang Yulian would end, and Zhang Yulian would not be allowed to work in the state-owned barber shop.
Zhang Yulian had a sense of urgent crisis because she had already sensed that Hao Ying was looking for other candidates to deal with Ye Li.
One week is the deadline Hao Ying gave to Zhang Yulian. If there is no progress, she will have to give up on Zhang Yulian.
So time is running out, something must happen between Zhang Yulian and Jiang Xun tonight!
Ye Li was picking up some food, and was surprised to see Zhang Yulian dressed so elegantly tonight, because although Zhang Yulian's previous dress had improved compared to before she started working, it was not much more outstanding. So Ye Li's eyes stayed on Zhang Yulian for a moment.
Zhang Yulian glanced at Ye Li out of the corner of her eyes and found that Ye Li was also looking at her. Her inner vanity was greatly satisfied, thinking that Ye Li was also envious of her.
But tonight her target is Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun was feeding Jiang Li beside him and did not notice Zhang Yulian. Zhang Yulian suddenly felt indescribable loss.
"Big sister, look at Yulian. She is so pretty. Your daughter has made great progress."
Zhao Xingmei couldn't help but praise him.
"Oh, I spent money in vain again. I wonder how much this outfit cost." Zhao Ximei smiled when she saw her daughter looking so pretty. Although she complained, everyone could see that Zhao Ximei was very happy.
"Is something good about to happen?" Zhao Xingmei guessed.
"I don't know. There was a period of time a long time ago when she seemed to be in a relationship. But recently it seems that is not the case. I can't figure it out. I also hope that she can find a good family and get married as soon as possible." Zhao Ximei told Zhang Yulian everything that happened.
"Yulian, sit here." Seeing that Zhang Yulian seemed to be looking for a seat, Zhao Ximei waved to her and asked her to sit next to her.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yulian shook her head at Zhao Ximei and her eyes were on the seat next to Jiang Xun.
But Jiang Li was sitting next to Jiang Xun, so she couldn't do it. She suddenly thought of something, took out a nice keychain from her skirt pocket, held it in her hand and walked towards Jiang Li.
"Xiao Li, look what this is?" Zhang Yulian shook the key chain in front of Jiang Li's eyes.
A small gourd-shaped glass keychain was very small and delicate. Jiang Li was immediately attracted by it.
"It's so beautiful!" Jiang Li happily stretched out her hand to grab it.
Zhang Yulian bent down and whispered something in Jiang Li's ear. Jiang Li then stretched out her arms towards Zhang Yulian and asked her to hug her.
"Auntie, hug me!"
Zhang Yulian had a triumphant look on her face. She picked up Jiang Li, sat in Jiang Li's seat, put Jiang Li on her lap, and began to play with Jiang Li with the small gourd.
Jiang Xun realized that Zhang Yulian was different today. He quickly looked at Zhang Yulian and said to Jiang Li, "Xiao Li, come sit here with Daddy. Don't dirty your Aunt Yulian's beautiful skirt."
Zhang Yulian was secretly delighted when she heard Jiang Xun's words. Jiang Xun finally saw her outfit today! He even praised her beautiful skirt!
In Zhang Yulian's mind, praising her skirt for being beautiful is equivalent to praising her beauty.
Zhang Yulian's heart suddenly started beating faster.
"It's okay, let Xiaoli sit here with me." Zhang Yulian continued to hold Xiaoli and play with her.
"Auntie, I want to eat meat!"
Xiao Li said, holding a small gourd in her hand and staring at the smoked chicken in front of her.
"Okay, auntie will get it for you. Wait!" Zhang Yulian made her voice extremely gentle, neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Jiang Xun to hear clearly.
"Yulian, you just got off work and haven't had time to eat yet, so eat a few bites first. Xiaoli, come to daddy's place, let your aunt Yulian eat, and I'll feed you some meat." Jiang Xun took Jiang Li over and held her in his arms. He told Zhang Yulian not to worry about Jiang Li and to eat quickly.
"Okay, big brother."
Zhang Yulian picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken for Jiang Li and put it to Jiang Li's mouth. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li didn't bite the meat, so Zhang Yulian pulled the chopsticks back.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun quickly used his hands to catch the fallen meat to prevent it from falling on Jiang Li's skirt and getting stained with oil.
Zhang Yulian also noticed that Jiang Li did not bite the meat, so she also stretched out her hand.
Finally, Jiang Xun caught the meat, and Zhang Yulian held Jiang Xun's hand...
Jiang Xun's body stiffened, and he looked at Zhang Yulian. Zhang Yulian's face flushed. This was the first time she touched Jiang Xun's hand. She could feel the heat coming from Jiang Xun's hand, and for a moment she just held it tightly, not letting go...
"Yulian, you're holding my hand." After Jiang Xun reminded her, he tried to pull his hand out.
"Oh, sorry. I just wanted to catch Xiaoli's fallen flesh." Zhang Yulian quickly apologized and let go of Jiang Xun's hand. At this moment, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she felt like she was being raped in broad daylight.
If only she could have held on to those strong hands all the time!
