Chapter 242 The world is just so coincidental



Chang Ya raised her arm and patted her on the top of her head with a smile in her eyes. Then she turned her head away and looked silently into the distance, sighing softly.

"If you keep saying this, it will lead to misunderstandings."

He Tong pulled his eyebrows together and pouted, "We grew up in the same courtyard, so our relationship is different from others."

"When Zhu Weidong was in school, you were still wearing open-crotch pants."

He Tong's round little face was like a drop of red ink dropped into clean water. The red color slowly spread out and covered the whole face with red. "Then I also watched him grow up."

Puff.

Jiang Zheng, who was standing aside, laughed out loud, like a stone thrown into the lake, breaking the tranquility of the lake.

Chang Ya narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, "You are right."

He Tong's face turned even redder, spreading from his cheeks to his ears and neck.

Pang Chong urged them in front, and the three of them quickened their pace to catch up.

When Jiang Zheng went to Jiang Yihang's residence at night, she talked to Gao Jing about what happened during the day. Her face, which usually had very little expression, was now filled with smiles, like the sunlight shining in through a glass house in winter, warming her whole body.

"This He Tong is very cute." Gao Jing raised the corners of her mouth and smiled too.

"My eldest brother is out on business. He knows your situation. When he comes back, he will go back home to live. You can live here peacefully." Jiang Zheng held her hand. Her clear eyes could reflect the shadow of a person. She looked at Gao Jing and said, "Hiding all the time is not the solution to the problem. Wait until your family calms down and sit down and have a good talk with them."

"Jiang Zheng, thank you." Gao Jing nodded heavily. "They are looking forward to my return. Now that I haven't returned, they will definitely come to look for me. As you said, they are angry now. No matter what I say, it will be useless. So let's put it aside for now. If they can't find me at school, they will give up after they return."

The smile in Jiang Zheng's eyes also brightened, "Okay, I'm relieved that you think so."

Afterwards, Jiang Zheng told her to take good care of herself and stuffed twenty yuan into her pocket before leaving. Gao Jing disagreed and held her hand tightly.

"The school gives out subsidies, and I praise them. I also spend your money when we eat together. Now I live with your eldest brother, so how can I still accept your money?"

"Take it. It can be used in case of emergency. Return it to me if you don't need it."

Gao Jing lowered her head and stuffed the money back into Jiang Zheng's hand, then raised her head with a smile in her eyes, "Jiang Zheng, you have helped me so much. If you continue to be so nice to me, I will feel uneasy."

Jiang Zheng could only take the money back and said, "Okay."

When they reached the gate of the community, Jiang Zheng met Ji Ling. The two passed each other, looking straight ahead, like two parallel lines, without even making eye contact.

Ji Ling walked with big strides to the door of the unit because she was in a hurry. Suddenly, a person jumped out beside her. Even though she stopped her feet in time, her nose rubbed against the other person's clothes.

Ji Ling steadied herself and took a step back, only then could she see the other person clearly.

The middle-aged man, who was in his fifties, had a face full of wrinkles, like a dried mummy, and he looked sick all over.

"You know my Gao Jing, right?"

Gao Jing?

Ji Ling's eyes fell back on the old man's face, and after looking at him for a few seconds, she said calmly, "I don't know him."

After saying that, she raised her foot and walked to the side, but was stopped by the old man again.

Ji Ling was forced to stop, pursed her lips, and was silent for a while, "There are not many identical clothes in the world, but it doesn't mean that you know your daughter just because you wear the same one as her."

The old man took out his hands from his sleeves, and didn't know where to put them. He looked at Ji Ling anxiously, as if something was stuffed in his mouth. He mumbled for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Finally, the old man moved to the side to make way.

Ji Ling strode into the unit and went straight to the second floor.

She came back this time to get clothes. Her grandmother accompanied her and was waiting in the car, so they were a bit rushed.

Being stopped by Gao Jing's father, I was delayed for a while. It took me more than half an hour to get back to the car.

"I just saw someone stop you. Was he asking for directions?" Old Mrs. Zhu was sitting in the passenger seat and could see the unit door by looking straight ahead.

Ji Ling explained the misunderstanding, "My classmate probably didn't go home, and her family came to look for me. I can't say much about other people's affairs. Besides, we had many misunderstandings in school. If I said anything, the other party would definitely be unhappy, so I didn't say I knew her."

Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "You are right to do so."

Ji Ling thought that if she didn't say anything, the matter would be over. Who would have thought that Old Man Gao would stay in the community for several days and still blocked Gao Jing.

Old man Gao pulled his daughter, his dry hands seemed to be pinching into the flesh, "Come on, come home with me, do you really think you have grown up and your family can't control you now?"

"Dad, there are so many people watching, please let me go first." Gao Jing tried to shake him off several times, but when she failed, she softened her attitude and choked up. "Dad, I told you in the letter that I would give my expenses to the family after I get a job. Don't be fooled by others' words. You get some money now, but it will be gone once you spend it. If I really get married, I can't give my salary to the family. Which one do you think is more suitable?"

Old man Gao didn't want to hear this. "That's one thousand yuan. How much do you want to earn from your job? The Wang family also promised that after you get married, half of your salary will be given to the family. Jingzi, you know the situation of our family. Dad has no choice. Besides, the son of the Wang family works in the commune. Such a good marriage is hard to come by even if others beg for it."

"What's wrong with the commune? I want to marry someone from the capital, isn't that better than him?" Gao Jing said anxiously, "I already have a partner, he's from the capital, and his father is an official."

Old Man Gao stared at his daughter seriously, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, otherwise how could you live here?"

Old Man Gao didn't say anything, but turned around and looked at the building behind him.

Gao Jing took the opportunity to pull her hand back, and Old Man Gao turned back immediately, but this time he did not catch anyone.

"Jingzi, are you telling the truth? Then I'll meet your boyfriend and confirm it's true. Then I'll go home and cancel the marriage with the Wang family."

Gao Jing gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, "Okay, you go stay at a nearby guesthouse first and come over tomorrow."

Old Man Gao agreed, "Don't try to fool me. If I can find this place, I can also find you even if you move somewhere else."

"knew."

Gao Jing watched her father leave, her brows furrowed together. She stood there thinking for a long time, and instead of going back upstairs, she strode out of the community and walked towards the school.

Gu Baoshan saw Gao Jing waiting for him downstairs and strode forward, "You didn't go home?"

Gao Jing gasped for air, "Senior Gu, I need your help urgently. Only you can save me."
