Chapter 213 She Doesn't Care
The bus stopped at the west gate of the community. Su Jiaojiao didn't go to Ding Mei's place and went straight home.
Chen Guilan had not returned yet and Cai Ting was still at work. She dragged her luggage to her room, took a shower, locked the door and fell into a deep sleep.
As soon as I fell asleep, all I could hear was the rattling sound of the train.
The dream was chaotic and confusing. She dreamed that her money was stolen and she chased the thief for a long time until her legs were weak from running.
She dreamed again that Lu Jingyou sent her to the market, then he abandoned her halfway and disappeared. She walked alone for a long time before reaching the market.
The scene changed, and Lu Jingyou and Yan Xuewei walked past her arm in arm. Lu Jingyou acted as if he didn't know her and didn't even look at her.
A large truck blocked her way and pressed forward. The driver had his face covered and was wearing a baseball cap. Su Jiaojiao couldn't see his face clearly. She asked him who he was, but he refused to say and suddenly started the car and rushed towards her.
She suddenly woke up, sat up, and broke out in a cold sweat.
It took me a long time to realize that it was a dream. Fortunately, it was just a dream!
Then, the door rang. It was Cai Ting who came back. When she came back, she saw Su Jiaojiao's shoes and knocked on the door: "Jiaojiao, you're back?"
"Come in!" Su Jiaojiao opened the door.
"You're finally back." Cai Ting felt relieved when she saw her. "Your house is so big. I'm a little scared to sleep alone!"
"The security room is right next to us, what are you afraid of?" Su Jiaojiao's hair was wet from sleeping. People in western Shanxi were already wearing long sleeves, but it was still hot in Jiaoxian. The climate in the two places differed by several degrees.
"Have you eaten?" Cai Ting came back after having dinner.
"I've eaten." After running all the way, Su Jiaojiao felt dizzy and didn't say much to Cai Ting. "I'm tired and want to sleep. You should go to bed early too." As expected, she really had a cold. Cai Ting bought her some medicine. She took the medicine and lay in bed for a whole day. She only had some strength at night.
Chen Xiaohong heard that Su Jiaojiao was ill and came to see her. As soon as she entered the door, she joked, "Did you have too much fun with the handsome guy outside and you are tired and sick?"
"I'm almost dead tired, and I had so much fun..." Su Jiaojiao knew Chen Xiaohong would say that, and she didn't want to tell her all this nonsense. "Have you done what I told you a few days ago?"
"Ask Cai Ting," Chen Xiaohong snorted. "She was the one who came up with this idea."
"Actually, you made the right choice to come to us. Even though they didn't know me, I often went to Xiaohong's house. I was worried about being exposed, so I went to Hualian Shopping Mall and bought a wig and sunglasses. I disguised myself as a middle-aged woman and sat downstairs to tell fortunes. They asked Chen Xiaohong to act as my stand-in. I bluffed for several days, and then your relatives came to me to have their fortunes told."
Cai Ting sat beside Su Jiaojiao's bed and described it vividly, "I told them they had two daughters and a son, and that they were destined to be rich and powerful. They were so happy. Then, I changed the subject and said that their ancestors were living in their house, and that they had angered them, so they had moved in. If this continued, something bad would definitely happen to their family."
"They were terrified and asked me what to do. I asked if they had done anything to displease the ancestors recently. They said nothing and asked me how to send them away. I told them to burn some paper on the grave and promise not to disturb the ancestors again. Then when they went upstairs, I heard your uncle say to your aunt, 'Since our father doesn't want to, then we won't move.'"
"Yes, I heard that too. Don't worry, they definitely won't move." Chen Xiaohong said firmly, "If something like this happens again, come to me. You don't have to reimburse us, just treat us to a meal."
"I'm definitely going to treat you guys to a meal." Su Jiaojiao then opened the local specialties she brought back. "I've divided them up in advance. You each get one bag. It's not much."
People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Once their own interests are threatened, they will naturally weigh the pros and cons. Since Cai Ting was right at the beginning, they believed what she said later.
They will adopt the idea of "it is better to believe it than not to believe it" and will no longer act rashly.
"By the way, Jiaojiao, when you went there, you took a private car. Why were you alone when you came back? Where is Wang Hua?" Chen Xiaohong just remembered this.
"They're so busy. It's such a long way. Can they still take me back?" Su Jiaojiao said lightly, "I'll come back by myself after selling the leather jacket."
"That's true." Chen Xiaohong agreed. "No matter what, they've been a big help."
"That's right." Cai Ting nodded. "That batch of leather arrived just in time. Otherwise, we'd still be off work!"
"You will definitely be able to do it until the end of the year." Su Jiaojiao was completely relieved. Now that this year's problems were solved, she just had to focus on her studies.
With money, she feels safe.
"Then you've really made a fortune." Chen Xiaohong looked at her meaningfully. "Tell me, how much money did you make?"
"Not much." Su Jiaojiao smiled. "After deducting the capital, I can only earn enough for living expenses and pocket money!"
Including the sample she had sent to Lu Jingyou before, there were a total of 1,001 leather jackets, of which she sold 995, with a retail price of 350 and a wholesale price of 245. She made at least 150 yuan for each leather jacket, which was naturally a huge sum including principal and interest, but she didn't want to talk about it.
Cai Ting's monthly income is only 300 yuan, and Chen Xiaohong's income is not much more than Cai Ting.
She will have no friends if she tells it out.
"Yes, leather jackets are expensive." Cai Ting didn't know the exact market conditions, but she heard from Ding Mei that leather prices had increased significantly compared to last year. She counted on her fingers and said, "After deducting the leather and processing fees, and all the other miscellaneous expenses, I can't make much money."
Chen Xiaohong didn't ask any more questions.
She just asked casually and didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.
Before going to bed, Su Jiaojiao flipped through her cell phone and found that it was out of battery. After charging it, the phone kept ringing with text messages.
Lu Jingyou called her several times, including Wang Hua, and then there were a bunch of text messages. She replied to Lu Jingyou while charging her phone, "I'm home already, my phone is out of battery, and I just saw your message."
Then, Lu Jingyou called. His voice sounded calm: "You haven't even had a good time for two days, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
"You're so busy, I don't want to bother you anymore." Su Jiaojiao said lightly, "I came back after selling all my leather jackets. I have a lot of things to do here and don't have time to play."
"My mom and Yan Xuewei are here. They had an accident while climbing the mountain. I lost my phone when I was looking for them. I just found it today." Lu Jingyou thought she was angry and explained, "I only found out you were gone when I got your phone. I'm sorry, I should have taken you home."
"Mr. Lu, don't say that. You've already done a lot for me. There's no such thing as right or wrong. Are they okay?"
"It's okay, they're just minor injuries. They'll be fine in a few days."
"That's good." Su Jiaojiao smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your care and help over the past few days. I'll treat you to a meal when you return to Jiao County."
"Okay, I'll come find you when I get back." Lu Jingyou said gently, "You should have a good rest and don't be too tired."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern."
"Actually, there's nothing going on between Yan Xuewei and me..." Lu Jingyou said in a mysterious voice, "I won't accept a family marriage, nor will I accept Yan Xuewei."
"Mr. Lu, this is your personal matter..." Su Jiaojiao didn't know what to say. "My phone is out of battery. Bye."
Lu Jingyou stood in front of the window, thinking about every little detail of his time with her over the past few days, and a smile involuntarily emerged in his eyes.
He didn't know what kind of person he was in her heart.
He felt very lost when she left without saying goodbye. He thought she was angry, but she wasn't. Not being angry meant not caring.
It turned out that she didn't care about him.
So, no matter what he did, she didn't care.
…
Qin Shuang learned that Su Jiaojiao had returned and told her that her Qinji Clothing Company would officially open on August 18th and asked her to be there.
Su Jiaojiao readily agreed.
She will definitely go to the opening of Qin Shuang's new company.
