After passing Wang Xiu'e, the car slowly stopped not far ahead. After an unknown amount of time, the car started again and moved back to Wang Xiu'e's side.
Wang Xiu'e looked up and when she saw the familiar car, she stared blankly at Jiang Qi who had already gotten out of the car.
Just staring at him, watching him walk towards her.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Qi looked at her carrying so many things and leaning against the tree trunk, seeming to be uncomfortable.
For a moment, his words seemed awkward.
Wang Xiu'e came back to her senses, her face calm and she said, "I'm fine."
As he said this, he picked up his things and walked forward.
Seeing her about to leave, Jiang Qi quickly grabbed her and said, "Let me take you there."
Wang Xiu'e pulled him away stubbornly and said, "No need. If my husband sees me taking pictures, he will misunderstand me."
Jiang Qi was so stunned by this sentence that he didn't know how to speak. He looked at her for a long time before muttering, "Are you married?"
"Yeah." Wang Xiu'e replied lightly, not feeling tired anymore, and turned around and walked away with big strides.
She had previously imagined that when they met, there would be all kinds of scenes, and she might be angry, unwilling, and even excitedly scold Jiang Qi for being a fool.
It wasn't until today that I realized that she could be so calm.
Wang Xiu'e didn't know where she got the strength from, but she walked home alone, holding her belly.
After returning home, I lay in bed for a long time before I could rest.
Jiang Qi was in a daze for a long time as he watched Wang Xiu'e walking away. When he returned home, he couldn't muster any energy at all. His mind was full of her big belly.
And her words "I'm married".
Is it heartache? Yes, it hurts. It shouldn't have anything to do with me anymore, but I still feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
...
After watching the movie, Ying Han and Deng Chen returned to the compound in the afternoon.
Deng Chen bought a pack of good cigarettes for Ying's father. Knowing that they couldn't drink for a long time, he bought him a pack of cigarettes.
This made Ying's father very happy. If he took this cigarette out, it would probably dazzle the eyes of several of his comrades, and he would be able to show it off often.
"You can't spoil him. He's not a smoker. Just watch, he can hold onto that one cigarette for a year. He doesn't smoke it all, he keeps it in his pocket until it rots."
Ying Han chuckled twice. "Dad, is it that serious? If you want to smoke, just smoke. If you don't have one, I'll buy you one."
"You can't smoke too much. Your mother won't let you, so I just smoked two outside." Ying's father said, pulling Deng Chen to sit down in the living room.
Ask him about the recent situation in the neighborhood.
Thirty percent of the multi-story buildings have been sold, and the remaining part is still being sold slowly. The villas have already started distributing flyers, but there are no finished products yet, and not many people have come to see them.
"The house is selling slowly. Everything else is fine, but the director who recently partnered with me wants to collect his dividends sooner. He thinks that after only selling 30% of it in a year, most of the houses will be unsold. I don't agree."
"Are you two having a conflict?" Ying's father asked worriedly.
"Not really. The contract states that the dividend will only be paid out if the house is sold at 80%. He doesn't want to follow the contract."
"Ah, this kind of person has no courage and can't accomplish anything big. How much is his dividend?"
"It's not much, just a few hundred thousand. I can give it to him, but the villa area behind is being built and they need money right now. I thought I'd give him some of it by the end of the year, and then give him some more after we sell it after the New Year."
My dad also thinks this is a good idea. After all, he’s the leader and doesn’t want things to get too awkward.”
"Your father is right. If he has the ability, it's okay to give it to him. Just don't cooperate with him next time."
Here, Ying Han and my mother were in the kitchen, deliberately putting the hand with the ring in a conspicuous place.
It’s a pity that her mother didn’t see it for a long time.
Ying Han held her hand in front of her mother and said in frustration, "Mom, look at my hand."
As a result, her mother gave her an annoyed look and said, "I saw it a long time ago, why are you showing off? You've already put on the ring, have you asked Deng Chen when he is getting married?"
"Mom, you have to ask your daughter."
"It's been two years since you've been here. Mom and Dad wanted to keep you here for a year so they could save up some money for your dowry. Now that our family has money, you don't have to delay any longer."
"Mom, my brother isn't married yet."
"Your brother is in school now. He needs three or four years to go to school. You can't wait for your brother for three or four years and not get married. You'll be an old girl now."
"Oh, actually, Deng Chen and I have already talked about it. We will get the marriage certificate on November 1st, and then we will have the wedding next year after the house is renovated. What do you think, Mom?"
"Are you going to live together after getting the marriage certificate or not?" Her mother asked a rather sharp question.
The question stumped her.
"You." Seeing her stunned, Ying's mother sighed and smiled, nodding her forehead. "If we really get the marriage certificate, I'll see if I don't take advantage of it, my silly daughter."
Ying Han hadn't thought of this, and was thinking of getting the marriage certificate in advance to give Deng Chen peace of mind.
Now that I think about it, it’s true. If it were at that time, would she refuse?
It's probably...not easy to refuse.
"Didn't Mom say that getting the marriage certificate isn't enough? If you get the marriage certificate but don't have a wedding, what if you get pregnant? Wouldn't people laugh at you then?
Mom is telling you, either get the marriage certificate and have the wedding, or don’t get the certificate first, understand?”
"Oh, okay, I'll listen to Mom. I'll discuss this with Deng Chen."
"Well, dear, it's right to listen to Mom. Oh, by the way, your Aunt Pei said these days that the two families have met and the marriage is confirmed. And the two of them are expected to have their wedding this year. Look at how quickly they did it."
"No way, it will be held this year." She had never heard Jiuxiang say that.
The girl was reluctant at the beginning. It was really fast to get married right after establishing the relationship.
"That's what your Aunt Pei said."
"Oh." Yan Jiuxiang probably didn't know yet.
After dinner, Ying Han took Deng Chen's arm and talked about Yu Xiangdong and Yan Jiuxiang.
"Xiangdong is so anxious to accomplish something on his own because he wants to give an explanation to the Yan family. Hanhan, I also want to give you an explanation."
"What do you want to tell me?"
"I've been working as a team leader for the past few years. I've been stuck in this position. I was once on track for a promotion, but now I'm having a conflict with my boss, so I'm afraid there will be some obstacles."
"Conflict? What's wrong?"
"It's the director's business..." Deng Chen roughly told Ying Han about the situation.
Ying Han didn't know that there were problems with several of Deng Chen's partners.
"Deng Chen, it's okay. If he wants it, we can give it to him in advance. He's terminating the contract early. If he does, we can deduct 1% or 2% of his dividends. It's not impossible.
Also, don't tell me anything about explanations anymore. You're fine. I want a family that's just a little bit wealthy, and we've already achieved that. Whether it's respectable or not is just for others to see; whether it's comfortable or not is something only you can understand, and it doesn't matter to me."
