There was nothing wrong with the water pipes in Jiang Yu's house. Zhou Jian'an came in, fiddled with them for a bit, and quickly unclogged them without even using any drain cleaner. He didn't spend a penny and got Jiang Yu's water pipes running smoothly again.
Jiang Yu was overjoyed and tried to thank Zhou Jian'an, but Zhou Jian'an waved his hand with remarkable maturity and grace, "Don't mention it, we're all neighbors, it's not a matter of 'yours' or 'mine'. By the way, do you live alone? Didn't your husband come?"
Jiang Yu smiled with a hint of regret, "I used to have a boyfriend, but we broke up before we could get married, and now I live alone. Brother Zhou, what about you? Isn't your wife home? How come you're living here alone with your child?"
Zhou Jian'an smiled, then said, clearly hurt, "My wife cheated on me, so I divorced her!"
Jiang Yu's eyes widened, she was extremely angry:
“Brother Zhou, how could your wife be that kind of person? Although this is the first time I’ve met you, I can tell you’re a very good person. You’re always willing to help others, so you must be very considerate and caring towards your wife. You’re such a good person, how could she do something like this and hurt you?”
Zhou Jian'an sighed, clearly a man who had been hurt and had a story to tell.
He sighed, a hint of hurt in his eyes. "I used to be too busy with work, and my wife would take my money and buy clothes, shoes, and luxury goods. She even used my money to support other men. By the time I found out, she had squandered all the money in the house, and I was left to raise the children alone. Fortunately, with my efforts, life has gradually gotten back on track and isn't as difficult as before."
Jiang Yu almost cried after hearing his story.
Zhou Jian'an is clearly a self-reliant and good man.
Zhou Jian'an won Jiang Yu's favor, and the two chatted about their hobbies.
You don't know until you talk to them that you have so many similarities. Zhou Jian'an is mature, humorous and makes you feel safe, while Jiang Yu is charming and has a very feminine side.
Every time Zhou Jian'an saw Jiang Yu's admiring gaze sweep over him, he felt incredibly at ease.
In the two years since Zhou Jian'an came to Hong Kong, he has not been without women; in fact, he has never been without women around him.
But these women are not respectable people. They are women you meet in brothels and can sleep with for a little money. Why would Zhou Jian'an care about them?
Only Jiang Yu is different.
Jiang Yu was his female neighbor. The two often met and had a somewhat ambiguous relationship, but they wouldn't immediately make it public. This created a feeling of being in love for Zhou Jian'an. He especially looked forward to seeing Jiang Yu when he returned home every day, hoping that Jiang Yu's adoring gaze would linger on him.
Zhou Jian'an felt especially happy whenever Jiang Yu's door opened. He would even pretend to go out and stage a chance encounter with Jiang Yu in order to run into her.
In short, Zhou Jian'an felt like he was in love again.
Yes, again. Zhou Jian'an had been in love before. The first time he had this feeling was during his time with Dai Qinxue. At that time, he thought Dai Qinxue was beautiful, from a good family, gentle and affectionate, and a million times better than Shu Hui.
My marriage to Shu Hui was out of necessity, for the sake of having children; only my relationship with Dai Qinxue was based on love.
Dai Qinxue cheated Zhou Jian'an out of his money, which made Zhou Jian'an very angry. Their love was destroyed as a result. In the years since he came to Hong Kong, he has been going around with girls in brothels, never being serious with anyone, and unwilling to spend his own money on others.
But Jiang Yu is different. Zhou Jian'an even felt willing to give Jiang Yu money to spend, to rescue her from the disaster, and to let her live a better life.
To get to know Jiang Yu better, Zhou Jian'an often found excuses to visit her home, sometimes to borrow soy sauce, sometimes to borrow a wrench. Sometimes, when the windows of Jiang Yu's house leaked, Zhou Jian'an would roll up his sleeves and go to Jiang Yu's house to fix them.
Jiang Yu said she didn't care whether a man had money or not, which greatly pleased Zhou Jian'an.
Zhou Jian'an is rich, but he doesn't want women to be after his money. He wants women to love him for who he is. Jiang Yu doesn't know he's rich, she doesn't care if he has a career, and she doesn't even know him.
She was willing to look at him with adoring eyes.
Zhou Jian'an felt that Jiang Yu's heart was the purest.
Jiang Yu was like the wind and the fog; her eyes were full of affection, always staring straight at him. But whenever Zhou Jian'an tried to take things further, Jiang Yu would pretend not to notice and dodge away. The unattainable was stirring within him, and Zhou Jian'an was so captivated by Jiang Yu that he didn't want to do his work anymore, and he looked forward to going home after get off work every day.
Jiang Yu closed the door, raised an eyebrow, and sneered.
Just like Chu Yu said, Zhou Jian'an is arrogant and suspicious. He's old, yet he still tries to date like young people, and even claims that his wife cheated on him.
If Jiang Yu hadn't known Zhou Jian'an's character, she almost would have believed him!
Jiang Yu, also known as Xiao Yu, worked under Sister Hua. She did not become a "mother" in the gang. After Chu Yu dealt with Mao Xia, he remembered Xiao Yu's help and wanted to repay her. He asked Xiao Yu what she wanted.
Xiaoyu was also quite distressed. She didn't want to be a prostitute, but she couldn't earn money if she didn't. Her mother kept urging her to borrow money from home every day, and Xiaoyu didn't know what to do.
Chu Yu gave her a choice: to let Xiao Yu get close to Zhou Jian'an, pretend to be Zhou Jian'an's neighbor, and fall in love with him.
When Jiang Yu first heard about the mission, she was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
Serving one man is definitely better than serving countless men. What's more, Chu Yu not only gives Xiao Yu a salary, but also a house, so that Xiao Yu can both send money home and have a house to settle down in.
Xiaoyu was definitely tempted.
Over the years, her income has not been low, but every time her mother asks her for money, Xiaoyu can't help but send the money home. A young lady like her can only live off her youth for a few years. After a few years, she won't have such a good life anymore. If she doesn't have some money in her hand, she will be in a terrible situation when she gets older.
