Xu Qingqing has been getting a headache from Bo Jingran's constant pestering these past few days.
This was the first time she had encountered someone so persistent and clingy. In her past life, all the men she dated only cared about their bodies and not their feelings, which was incredibly enjoyable. Why did she have to tie herself to one man?
Her best friend fell for a man. After getting married, she became like a mother hen, doing his laundry, cooking for him, and caring for him without any sense of self. But in the end, the man still got tired of her and dumped her.
She even attempted suicide because of that scumbag, which made her so angry that she stormed into the ward and slapped her several times. If the nurse hadn't stopped her, she would have given her a good beating.
No matter how much she pleaded, he remained stubborn. So she hired hundreds of male models to stay with her 24/7. Anyone who could seduce her would receive an extra 1 million yuan as a reward.
Once again entangled with Bo Jingran, Xu Qingqing was exhausted: "Bo Jingran, that's enough. Why can't you understand human language?"
“I’ve said it before, it’s okay if you don’t like me, I’ll keep bothering you until you do.” Bo Jingran’s attitude was firm.
Xu Qingqing covered her face, then rolled her eyes at him and left.
Bo Jingran quickly followed.
The gossipy old ladies watched the two walk away, then gathered together and started pointing and whispering.
“This educated youth Bo is good in every way except for his health. Tell me, why doesn’t educated youth Xu like him?”
"As Xu, the educated youth, said, he's not an adult yet, but Xu doesn't look like an adult."
"Yeah yeah!"
The women chattered excitedly about what they knew, their words becoming increasingly animated, spittle flying everywhere.
News of Xu Qingqing and Bo Jingran's affair quickly spread to other production teams, thanks in no small part to the older women in those teams.
***
Xu Qingqing had almost forgotten that she had told her father to send a telegram to let him know she was safe when she arrived at her destination. So, after asking the brigade leader for permission, she headed towards the county town.
Sending a telegram costs one character, so Xu Qingqing typed "Safely arrived" and sent it.
She checked the time and realized it was still early, so she decided to have some meat. The state-run restaurants were still open at this hour, so she could still make it.
She hadn't eaten a single bite of food during her days in the countryside, and she still had to go to work every day. She was almost completely exhausted. She had considered going into the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits, but unfortunately, the mountain wasn't very big, and the bamboo forest alone took up most of it, making it difficult to find any.
She has such a large space but not a single living being, only medicinal plants. She can't even get a bite of meat.
After rushing around, they finally found the state-run restaurant. Xu Qingqing went to the window and asked, "Give me a braised pork and two bowls of rice."
"One jin of grain coupons, one jin of meat coupons, three yuan," the waiter said impatiently.
Xu Qingqing clicked her tongue in amazement. "So expensive!"
I handed over the money and tickets, found an empty seat, and waited. Sure enough, there were a lot of people eating there.
Xu Qingqing arrived just in time; she managed to get the last serving of braised pork, while the people behind her all looked miserable.
After all, state-run restaurants have limited capacity; they only make that much per day, and it's not available every day, which shows how scarce the meat is.
Xu Qingqing ate the braised pork belly one bite at a time, thoroughly enjoying herself. As expected of a state-run restaurant, the cooking skills were truly superb; the pork was fatty yet not greasy and melted in her mouth.
If she had known she would be reborn in an era of hunger and cold, she definitely wouldn't have committed so many terrible deeds in her past life. Why did she have to be so stubborn and confront her scumbag father, Xu Jianbin? She would have been better off obediently listening to her grandfather and joining the company. She wouldn't have been so reckless, making a bet with someone about racing cars in the Land of Death.
So what if her scumbag father cheated on her and had an illegitimate child? So what if that illegitimate child is two years older than her? So what if that mistress is her scumbag father's sweetheart? So what if...
Xu Qingqing "..."
Holy crap, isn't this just a classic case of a domineering CEO falling for a poor girl?!
Her mother is actually a supporting female character!!
No wonder I was out of my mind in my past life, stupidly refusing to be the heir. Now look what happened, that mother and son got lucky.
She just couldn't understand how her scumbag father could be so blind as to fall for that woman, who was of average appearance, and even look down on rich people like that.
If you look down on someone, then don't accept the luxury jewelry and designer bags your scumbag dad gives you. You think you're so high and mighty?
She wondered how her mother would react to her death; she doubted her mother would be saddened. Xu Qingqing felt a pang of sadness at the thought.
She was never born with a mother's love in either of her two lifetimes, but thankfully she has a father like Mr. Xu who truly loves her in this life.
Yes, and Grandpa and Grandma Xu too.
After finishing her meal, Xu Qingqing returned to the educated youth dormitory. Before she even entered the courtyard, Xu Wanyi saw her and rushed over, pointing at her and gloating, "Xu Qingqing, how could you be so vicious? Pan Ling's face is covered with tiny red spots because she used your moisturizer. That's disfigurement!"
Xu Qingqing ignored Xu Wanyi. Everyone else was there except for Pan Ling, who was hiding in the house. Very good, the thief has been identified.
Pushing aside Xu Wanyi who was blocking her way, Xu Qingqing walked in with her arms wrapped around herself.
"I find it strange. I've never given my moisturizing cream to anyone else, not even Pan Ling. So she just took it without asking? I haven't even bothered about her stealing my stuff. What does it have to do with me if her face is ruined?"
Bo Jingran walked past the crowd to Xu Qingqing's side, indicating that he stood on Xu Qingqing's side.
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes. He's such a clingy pest.
Others also knew that Pan Ling's behavior was wrong, but her face was ruined, so Xu Qingqing also bears some responsibility.
Jiang Wei: "Xu Qingqing, we will warn Pan Ling that this will not happen again, but she was also disfigured because she used your moisturizing cream, so you have to compensate her for medical expenses."
Jiang Wei didn't want this incident to be publicized in the production team, saying that his (or her) hands were unclean, as this would greatly affect the reputation of the educated youth.
