Wan Xi wanted to say something, but Grandma Yin patted her on the shoulder and changed the subject, saying that she was old and could see everything clearly.
After chatting for a while, after Wang Xu and Gu Xi left, Grandma Yin saw that Wan Xi still looked sad and shook her head: "Wan Xi, don't worry about this. Didn't Wang Xu say that there is no right or wrong, it's everyone's choice. It's just a pity for me who has watched you grow up. Wang Xu is very clear about what he thinks, so you don't have to dwell on it."
Yin Jie also went over and hugged Wan Xi to comfort her. He knew her difficulties and he was in the same situation, but what else could he do except to let it go.
Wang Xu held Gu Xi's hand and walked on a familiar country road. There was a thick layer of snow, and it felt like walking on cotton, leaving one footprint after another.
"Wang Xu, I'm sorry to put you in a difficult position, but I'm very persistent on this matter."
Wang Xu looked back at her with amusement: "It was indeed difficult at the time, but it's over now. It's you who are in trouble."
The two chatted and joked until they arrived at the village chief's house. Unexpectedly, when they entered the house, they saw Shen Feng and Xu Zhengrong chatting happily, and the wine and food were already on the table.
"Uncle Xu, you've met a soulmate! It's not even dinner time yet, but the food and drinks are already served."
Xu Zhengrong was overjoyed: "Wang Xu, this is your friend. He's very knowledgeable and a great chatterbox. I'm so happy, so happy."
Gu Xi glanced at Xu Jiajia. Xu Jiajia was pretending to be stupid, Chen Feng looked very positive, and only Xu Zhengrong was foolishly inviting the wolf into the house.
Xu Zhengrong poured Wang Xu some wine as well. "Stay here for dinner today so we can have a good chat. It's been a year since we last met. Look, this village is doing remarkably well. I'm planning to convert the educated youth camp into classrooms and dormitories."
Wang Xu took the wine glass, toasted Xu Zhengrong, and filled it for him. "We can expand it and build separate rooms. We can build two or three floors and rent them out. We can also use it as a guesthouse and open a small shop. Friends and relatives who come to visit or bring friends back can stay here. People like Chen Feng can stay here."
Chen Feng paused for a moment while drinking: "That's a good idea. We really shouldn't let outsiders stay at this house. We should be a little cautious. Fortunately, I'm not an outsider. We're all familiar with each other."
Gu Xi had a new understanding of Shen Feng's thick skin today. He was no longer an outsider.
Xu Zhengrong also nodded: "Yes, yes, we are one family, not outsiders."
Xu Jiajia couldn't sit still after hearing this. Her face was burning with anger and she stood up to walk out. The main reason was that she hadn't thought it through yet. She was hurt by her last relationship and didn't dare to accept a new one too quickly. She wasn't that moved either and always felt that something was missing.
Xu Zhengrong was still pondering Wang Xu's idea and didn't think much about the "thief breaking into the house" at all.
Gu Xi asked Chen Feng with amusement, "What case did you come all the way here for?"
Chen Feng had long known they would ask: "It's about the women trafficking case you're in charge of. We recently caught someone high up in the organization. We came here to gather information. Do you know about cross-district investigations?"
Gu Xi raised an eyebrow: "The police officer who spoke to me at the beginning was not you, don't you have other cases on hand?"
Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, the case at hand is closed. Seeing that you were in charge of the liaison and how pleasant our last collaboration was, I volunteered to continue. Your last report was quite a sensation, so I wanted to borrow your publicity."
Gu Xi raised the soda in front of her and said, "Oh, you've already come up with this excuse. I can only hope to cooperate happily."
Gu Xi interviewed several abducted women who stayed in Qingmiao Village. Her purpose was not only to expose the evil, but also to remind everyone to be vigilant. Some of them were trafficked for job introductions, some were abducted for helping the elderly, and some were trafficked for dating.
In addition, the abducted women also face many difficulties in their survival after being rescued. We should get rid of old ideas. It is not the fault of these victimized women. They just want a normal life. There should be no prejudice or discrimination. We should let sunshine shine into their lives.
Gu Xi gave them another idea. Now that the policy is open, they can open a restaurant to cook food. Food is the most important thing for people. They can also open a clothing store. Life will get better and better, and they will naturally have no worries about making a living. Only after becoming confident can they have a new life.
Shen Feng's work here is also going very smoothly. He has arrested many human traffickers by reporting on human trafficking cases. Combined with Gu Xi's report, it has caused another wave of sensation. Gu Xi is now the hot cakes targeted by major newspapers. Now that she refuses to sign a job, they can only wait until she graduates.
Gu Xi and Wang Xu stayed in Qingmiao Village for a week. Chen Feng was very attentive at Xu Zhengrong's house for a week, which made the whole family praise him. He didn't expect any results immediately, so he drove back to Shanghai with Gu Xi and Wang Xu.
Before leaving, she gave Jiajia a scarf. "I brought this from Shanghai. It's said to be the latest model this year, a wool scarf. It's cold here, so you can wear it when you go out. I don't expect you to accept me right away, but I still want to tell you that if you're ready and want to start a new relationship, please consider me first. I don't have any bad habits, except that I'm occasionally busy with work and may not be able to take care of the family."
Xu Jiajia didn't expect him to play a straight game. It was so blunt that she didn't know how to respond and froze in place, but Shen Feng's subsequent words gave her enough space.
"Honestly, I haven't thought it through yet. Mainly because I haven't thought about it in this way before. I don't think we have much in common. I'm really not ready yet. I..."
Xu Jiajia felt that she was a little tongue-tied at this moment, and didn't know how to express herself clearly. In fact, she was a little confused.
Chen Feng smiled and raised his hand to help her put on the scarf, interrupting Xu Jiajia's embarrassment: "It's okay, no need to explain, I understand, it's precisely your caution that makes me pay enough attention to you. I can wait, it's okay, I just want you to know my feelings, I'm afraid that you will be pursued by someone else first.
Go back, Wang Xu and I are leaving first. Happy New Year, and come back to Shanghai soon."
After saying that, he handed Xu Jiajia a red envelope, turned around and got into the car, leaving Xu Jiajia standing there in a daze.
Gu Xi ran over with a smile: "Come back to your senses, Officer Shen is really a good person. You are suitable for such a responsible man to take care of you. Okay, Happy New Year, I will wait for you when I return to Shanghai. We will meet again in Shanghai."
Wang Xu nodded and took Gu Xi into the car, which quickly drove out of sight.
Xu Jiajia looked up at the snow in the sky. The sunlight seemed insignificant, but at this moment it was extremely hot. Touching the scarf around her neck, a warm current filled her heart.
On the way back, Chen Feng drove and watched in the rearview mirror as Xu Jiajia gradually shrank until she was out of sight. He sighed, "Next year, I must make every effort to go home for the New Year with you. Anyway, my relationship with my parents is already very close, and they will definitely be very satisfied with me."
Wang Xu and Gu Xi were momentarily stunned by his shocking statement. Finally, Wang Xu said, "How shameless."
Gu Xi nodded: "Too sexy."
