Feng Liuyun turned around and was stunned: "Who are you?"
"Why, you don't recognize me?"
Jiang Xiuzhen glanced at Feng Liuyun: "Meng Wenlan asked you to send me two boxes of paint."
"Oh, yes, you are Sister Panpan's cousin, your name is..."
"Jiang Xiuzhen, your last name seems to be Liu?"
"My last name is Feng Liuyun."
"Yeah, I remember you."
"Um, sorry, I have something to do here, so I'll leave first. We can talk another day."
Feng Liuyun wiped her tears, turned around and wanted to continue chasing Xia Moli.
Jiang Xiuzhen stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You just want to know where the Xia family is. Ask me."
"You know?"
"Of course, I often go to her house, and I can tell you about the Yan family as well."
"No, no need. I just need to know where Xia Moli's house is."
"no problem."
Feng Liuyun said gratefully: "Thank you, you are so kind."
Jiang Xiuzhen smiled and said, "It's just a side trip. We all know each other. Why are you being polite?"
The two walked along the sidewalk. Jiang Xiuzhen did not lie to Feng Liuyun. She seriously wanted to take Feng Liuyun to the Xia family.
She even tried to think about how to get Feng Liuyun into the Xia family. She would kneel down and beg Xia's father and mother to let them marry Feng Liuyun. Oh my, this is going to be so exciting! This is a big scandal for the Xia family.
Having grown up in the upper class, Jiang Xiuzhen is familiar with all kinds of secrets and scandals from the rich and powerful. Normally, everyone pretends to be pure and innocent, but once there is a disagreement or dispute, exposing each other's shortcomings becomes the highlight. Whoever has the biggest scandal will definitely lose and will be suppressed, because public opinion is a good thing.
Although Jiang Xiuzhen also grew up in a wealthy family, she was only the granddaughter of the Jian family after all. Her father's son-in-law was not very ambitious and did not climb to a high official position. Jiang Xiuzhen was actually not famous in the circle of noble ladies. She was the kind of person who was dispensable. She was even often bullied when she was a child. Later, Dou Nannan reached out to help her. Since then, she followed Dou Nannan closely and learned from her in all aspects. Only then did she gradually show her talent and felt that she was a figure.
In this circle, the people Jiang Xiuzhen couldn't stand and hated the most were Yan Baozhi and Xia Moli. These two were inseparable and got along well with each other. They had always dressed up beautifully, spoken sweetly and were likable since they were young. Jiang Xiuzhen had wanted to join them before, but they deliberately despised and alienated her. Xia Moli would not speak when she saw her, and Yan Baozhi was sharp-tongued and always interrupted her, which was very hateful.
Moreover, in any occasion, as long as Yan Baozhi and Xia Moli appeared, they would inexplicably receive everyone's praise even if they did nothing. Everyone praised them for being pure and kind, beautiful and talented, elegant and well-educated, and they were the model of ladies!
Every time Jiang Xiuzhen heard this, she sneered and wished she could rush up and tear off the masks of those two hypocritical women.
But no matter how carefully Jiang Xiuzhen paid attention, she couldn't catch any of their secrets, and she basically didn't hear any of their family secrets or scandals.
Of course Jiang Xiuzhen didn't believe that their family was really innocent and spotless, but they were just good at disguising themselves.
But no matter how hard she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide it from God. Look, didn't she catch such an ugly thing today? Jiang Xiuzhen suppressed her excitement, feeling like a smart hunter, but she had to play the role of a caring sister for the time being, walking slowly with Feng Liuyun, patiently comforting her and inducing her to tell her "love story" with Xia Yufeng.
Jiang Xiuzhen concluded that Feng Liuyun would be so desperate and persistent in wanting to see Xia Yufeng, that there must have been something unspeakable between her and Xia Yufeng. In other words, Xia Yufeng had taken away Feng Liuyun's innocence, but then abandoned her because he loved someone new!
It is also possible that Xia Yufeng was forced to do this. The reason is of course that the elders of the Xia family have serious feudal ideas and look down on girls from ordinary families. They forced Xia Yufeng to break up with Feng Liuyun and marry a rich girl of equal status. Feng Liuyun lost her innocence and was abandoned. She no longer had the courage to live...
Ah! In this new society and new era, such a thing actually happened, and it happened to a noble family. It is foreseeable how embarrassed the Xia family will be if this news gets out. If the situation gets worse, Xia Yufeng's future will be in jeopardy.
As for Xia Moli, who would praise her for being beautiful, elegant, pretty, cute and talented? Bullshit! It will be difficult for her to get married in the future.
If they spread the news that the two of them bullied others, mocked and threatened Feng Liuyun today, Yan Baozhi would be finished with her! Jiang Xiuzhen imagined Yan Baozhi and Xia Moli being down and out, fawning over her, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She felt extremely comfortable and her attitude towards Feng Liuyun became better.
The topics they talked about became more in-depth. Feng Liuyun was grateful and moved by the good people who were eager to help her. She answered Jiang Xiuzhen's questions seriously, truly "telling everything she knows and saying it all."
Jiang Xiuzhen said to Feng Liuyun, "I just got off the bus and happened to be standing behind the poster board. I heard you talking. I feel sorry for you. I just can't stand the condescending attitude of Yan Baozhi and Xia Moli. I believe that there is true love between you and Xia Yufeng. The love of young people is inherently wonderful. Only the parties involved know it best. Others don't understand and have no right to deny it casually."
Feng Liuyun looked at Jiang Xiuzhen excitedly. She finally met a soulmate. She said with tears in her eyes, "It is true. Teacher Xia and I have a tacit understanding and appreciate each other. When we talked about our relationship, it was always in a quiet place with few people seeing us. That's why they didn't believe me and made things difficult for me."
"My home is far away and the winter vacation is not long, so I won't go back."
"Oh, where are you going to live in Beijing? Did Xia Yufeng arrange a place for you to stay?"
"No, no, I volunteered to stay and help the teacher sort out the materials, so I'll live in the school dormitory."
Feng Liuyun answered in a panic, and felt even more bitter in her heart. She did not go home for the New Year holiday, and originally wanted to stay in Beijing in the hope of finding Xia Yufeng, confessing her feelings to him and deepening their relationship. However, she had tried so hard for so many days but had not even met him.
The school dormitory was locked during holidays and she could not live there. She went to live with a fellow villager who worked as a nanny in Beijing, but was forced to work as a temporary nanny for a month to take care of an elderly man with dementia. This solved her food and accommodation problems, but she was exhausted every day and did not have much time to go out.
Just thinking about this made her feel so aggrieved. She was a college student, but she was working as a nanny! Jiang Xiuzhen suddenly hugged Feng Liuyun's shoulders, put her mouth close to her ear, and asked in a low voice, "Have you and Xia Yufeng reached that stage? How many times have you done it?"
"Which, which step?" Feng Liuyun was so flattered to be favored by the "noble lady" that she was unable to react.
"Oh, don't you know about love? It's just the thing between men and women, 'get on the boat'!"
Feng Liuyun opened her mouth wide and fixed her eyes: She did get the "aphrodisiac powder" from Meng Wenxin, but she hadn't had time to do it yet. How did Jiang Xiuzhen guess it? Who on earth is this expert?
You can't say anything in front of a master, and Jiang Xiuzhen is so eager to help you. Feng Liuyun answered honestly: "The relationship between Teacher Xia and I is very pure. We didn't do that kind of thing."
"What?"
Jiang Xiuzhen's expression changed: "You mean you really didn't have any sexual relationship with him?"
"No."
"So you're still a virgin now?"
"yes."
"idiot!"
Jiang Xiuzhen was so angry that she pushed Feng Liuyun away and said, "You are nothing! How dare you cling to her and act like an abandoned woman? You even dared to tell Xia Moli that you will be her sister-in-law in the future. What's your proof? Because Xia Yufeng never even touched you?"
"But Teacher Xia and I are truly in love, and we will definitely get married!" Feng Liuyun said firmly.
"Dream on."
Feng Liuyun: “…”
She gritted her teeth and didn't say it out loud in the end - a few days ago when she caught a cold and had a high fever, she actually had such a beautiful dream.
The dream was of her wedding with Xia Yufeng. After the marriage, the couple lived happily and in love. She became the young lady of the Xia family, and Xia Yufeng treated her like a treasure. But later, Xia Yufeng had a car accident while on a business trip. She fainted when she heard the news, and then woke up.
Feng Liuyun had this dream several times, and she believed it was real. Maybe it was their past life, so she had to meet Xia Yufeng, tell him, and prevent the car accident! The old people said that you can't tell others about your good dreams, otherwise your luck will be stolen by others and it won't work. So Feng Liuyun decided not to tell anyone except her favorite teacher Xia.
Feng Liuyun cleared her throat and said to Jiang Xiuzhen, "I firmly believe that day will come. I will treat you to wedding candy then."
Jiang Xiuzhen rolled her eyes: Eat your big head ghost! What a waste of a good opportunity, but nothing was accomplished. Now Xia Yufeng has joined the National Institute to participate in important research. He only goes home during holidays every year. He usually does not appear in public places. Even if he walks on the street, he is protected by layers of protection. Not to mention Feng Liuyun, it is difficult for the noble ladies in the circle to see him.
I originally thought that Feng Liuyun and Xia Yufeng had an affair and were abandoned, so I could stir up trouble to discredit the Xia family, but I didn't expect... I was so happy for nothing and wasted so much time. I was so angry! The game couldn't be played anymore, so Jiang Xiuzhen didn't bother to care about Feng Liuyun anymore. She crossed the road to the bus stop on the opposite side and wanted to take the bus to leave.
Feng Liuyun followed closely behind. Jiang Xiuzhen had not told her the address of Xia's house yet. Since she had promised, she should tell her and not go back on her word.
Jiang Xiuzhen couldn't get rid of Feng Liuyun. She didn't want to take this person home, nor did she want to send her to the Xia family. She was of no use to her, so why waste her time? Seeing that it was still early and boring to go home, Jiang Xiuzhen remembered that she actually planned to go to the Gu Mansion today, so she asked Feng Liuyun:
"I'm going to my relative's house to hang out for a while, do you want to come with me?"
Feng Liuyun immediately nodded and expressed her willingness to go. She thought that Jiang Xiuzhen's relatives must be from the upper class, and she needed a way to enter this circle.
If she had known that Jiang Xiuzhen was talking about the Gu Mansion, she would not have dared to go there. After all, when Gu Panpan was being beaten by Dou Nannan, Feng Liuyun was watching the whole process. When Gu Panpan saw Feng Liuyun, she would think of the humiliation of that day, so it would be strange for her to be happy.
