Chapter 16: The whole show
The slap in the face may be late but it has arrived, but people of this era still don’t quite understand this truth.
When Xia Xian returned home, she found that the atmosphere at home was much more harmonious today, and her parents were talking and laughing.
Seeing her come back so late, Xia's father didn't get angry, but just reminded her.
"Be careful. You are a girl, don't walk at night."
As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing. Lei Juan and others also laughed, and Xia Yuan laughed the loudest.
"Sister! This makes me so relieved! How did the Chu family's house catch fire? And they even came to apologize to us, hahaha! This time the neighbors can't say anything to us anymore!"
"That's right! The Chu family really deserves it. Evildoers will be punished by God! I even went to the Chu family to take a look. They don't have money to build a house, so they plan to let the mother and son sleep together in the remaining half of the house! Let's see what they're going to do if it rains, hahaha!"
The Xia family was gloating and extremely happy, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
Xia Xian also smiled slightly. Chu Sheng and his mother really deserved it. She had avenged her great hatred. If Chu Sheng and his mother didn't bother her again in the future and everyone lived in peace, she would just let it go. She had her own things to do.
If they come to provoke her again, she won't be polite!
As for Xiao Jun, who killed her in her previous life, he is still just a child now. She can put aside the issue of how to deal with him for the time being. When he grows up, she can break one of his legs, which will be considered as paying for her life.
Xia Xian couldn't really kill anyone because the cost was too high. Just venting her anger and living a good life would be enough to make these people regret it.
The next day, Xia Xian went out to visit the supply and marketing cooperative as she was told, and Quan Ruifeng "ran into" her by chance.
The two of them acted as if it were real. As soon as Xia Xian entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Quan Ruifeng came over with a bouquet of bright red roses, two movie tickets, and a bag of walnut cookies.
He also changed into casual clothes, a simple white shirt and black pants, with his sleeves rolled up, revealing a little bit of his smooth muscles. He had a handsome face and an imposing manner.
As he walked along, he attracted a lot of people's attention.
The bouquet of red roses looked even more eye-catching in his arms.
He ignored everyone's gaze, walked straight to Xia Xian who was pretending to pick out items, and spoke in a low voice.
"Comrade Xia Xian, can I invite you to watch a movie?"
"Ah? Comrade Quan, why are you here? What are you doing..."
Xia Xian seemed startled by his sudden appearance. She took two steps back awkwardly, covering her chest, and looked at him in confusion, her black eyes moist and bright.
The facial expressions were well controlled throughout.
However, the lady at the counter and the customers were staring at the two of them with sharp eyes, and the sensible ones had already gone to look for melon seeds.
"I'm from another place. I don't have any relatives here, and I don't know anyone here. I don't know who to find as a middleman. I'm sorry, Comrade Xia Xian, I hope I didn't scare you."
"Can I go on a blind date with you? Give us a chance to get to know each other, with the goal of getting married. I know you became a widow because of Boss Chu's fraudulent marriage, and you're psychologically hurt, but it's not your fault, and I don't mind at all. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were my destiny, but I can't confuse public and private, so I waited until today to formally come to you, I hope I don't scare you."
"Can we go to the movies together later?"
Quan Ruifeng asked politely, and as he spoke, he handed over the roses, movie tickets and pastries.
He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and even looks at dogs with deep affection. His tone of voice is also very gentle and affectionate, which is completely different from his previous self.
When Xia Xian looked at Quan Ruifeng like this, she felt like she was possessed by a ghost.
In the past few days, she had become accustomed to Quan Ruifeng's sharp tongue and coldness, whose words could choke people to death. It was scary to see him behave like this all of a sudden.
Fortunately, after being baptized by Bai Lian’s acting skills in her previous life, she has learned a lot and can remain calm!
Xia Xian cooperated with his performance, and a slight blush slowly appeared on her pretty face. She took a step back again, not daring to look at Quan Ruifeng, nor daring to take his things, and her voice was flustered and stammering.
"No, no, Comrade Quan, I am not worthy of you. I am just a widow who is unlucky in marriage. I cannot delay you. You are so handsome, have a good job, and are a good person. You can find other excellent partners!"
After Xia Xian refused, she turned around and was about to run. Her bright eyes were already filled with mist. It was unclear whether it was out of embarrassment, awkwardness, or reluctance to reject Quan Ruifeng.
"Who said you are unlucky? It was the Chu family who tricked me into marriage! Comrade Xia Xian, others may look down on you, but you have to look up to yourself! In my heart, you are worthy of everyone! You are smart, pretty, and kind, but you were unlucky to meet the Chu family. But I am lucky to meet you. I hope you will give me a chance!"
"If you don't like me after getting to know me, you can reject me and I will never pester you!"
Quan Ruifeng chased after her and blocked the door of the supply and marketing cooperative to prevent Xia Xian from leaving. He looked at Xia Xian affectionately and confessed his love to her.
Wow, this confession is bold, straightforward and passionate!
The sisters at the supply and marketing cooperative were all moved!
The lady who worked at the counter in the same building as Xia Xian was particularly enthusiastic. Seeing Xia Xian being so shy, she felt so disappointed that she ran out and held her back.
"Xiao Xian, if you have a good man, you have to grab him yourself!"
"Comrade Quan is right. You can't belittle yourself. Look down on yourself! Let me be your matchmaker! Just think of me introducing you to Comrade Quan! You should get to know each other well and don't miss each other!"
"Comrade Quan, you said a long time ago that you liked Xiao Xian! When we saw you that day, we wanted to introduce you to someone, but we were afraid that you would not like people from our small place! I am willing to introduce you to someone!"
Sun Yulan talked on and on, and was extremely enthusiastic.
"Be good and go watch a movie with him. Your parents will definitely scold you if they know you rejected such an outstanding young man. He is a handsome young man that you only see once in a century!"
There was a reason why Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng chose to perform this scene in the supply and marketing cooperative. They were waiting for Sun Yulan to take the initiative to bring them together so that it would be more legitimate for them to be together.
As expected, when Xia Xian heard what Sun Yulan said, she looked at Quan Ruifeng shyly, then lowered her head, clasped her hands, and responded in a low voice.
"good."
"Hey! That's right!"
Sun Yulan was overjoyed and immediately took the roses and movie tickets from Quan Ruifeng's hand and stuffed them into Xia Xian's hand.
"Go quickly. You don't have to go home for lunch. I'll just tell your parents later."
"Thank you for your help, I'll treat you to a meal later."
Quan Ruifeng smiled at her warmly with gratitude, and then walked away side by side with Xia Xian.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match together!
Sun Yulan felt like a matchmaker and wanted to force the two to get married!
Quan Ruifeng and Xia Xian achieved their goal, and they did not stop until they were out of Sun Yulan's sight.
After all, they were partners, so Xia Xian became much bolder and even dared to tease Quan Ruifeng.
"Your acting is pretty good, I almost didn't catch it. Where are we going now?"
Quan Ruifeng didn't mind her teasing. He lowered his curled lips and returned to his usual indifference.
"See a movie."
"Do the whole act."
