Bai Ruoxi knew very well that the reason she had been able to live so comfortably and make so many good friends over the years was all because she was Director Bai's daughter.
If everyone knew that she was actually just the adopted daughter of the Bai family and had a biological sister from the countryside, would they still treat her well as before?
She just doesn't want to live that humble and poor life anymore. What's wrong with that?
Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but feel resentful towards Bai Dingxian.
Why didn't he think about how this would affect her?
Would her classmates think she was just trying to gain fame, putting on an act, and deliberately lying? Would she still have the nerve to stay at No. 1 Middle School?
No, she couldn't allow this to happen.
"Hiss~ It hurts so much, Brother Mingfeng, can't you be a little gentler?" Bai Ruoxi immediately vented her anger on Gu Mingfeng and pushed him coquettishly.
Gu Mingfeng almost fell to the ground, a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He casually wiped some iodine on her and stood up.
Everyone was bored after the meal.
Not long after, they went their separate ways.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Mingxin had just finished taking a shower. He put the folding table on the balcony, poured most of the porcelain pieces on it, took a small stool, and sorted the porcelain pieces while enjoying the evening breeze.
Arrange similar blue and white porcelain pieces together, and then identify and determine whether repair is necessary.
Because she didn't have a hair dryer and didn't want to leave her hair wet, she wrapped all her hair in a dry towel and tied it on top of her head. Her snow-white swan neck was exposed, and the sweat on her neck was visible in the moonlight, and it was white and rosy.
She put the three fragments of Yuan blue and white porcelain into a biscuit box. Since the other parts were missing and there was no possibility of restoration, they could be kept and wait for appreciation in value or sold now.
Jiang Mingxin was reluctant to take action now and planned to stay for a few more years.
Then, she found all the fragments of a Ming Dynasty Doucai grape cup, placed them on the table according to the direction of the pattern, and tried to piece them together. As long as she had adhesive tools, she should be able to restore it quickly.
As for the other porcelain pieces, they are scattered and belong to different porcelains. They cannot be pieced together to form a complete shape, so they can only be collected as ordinary blue and white porcelain pieces.
Jiang Mingxin wondered if he could make them into jewelry and sell them.
I first picked out a few larger shapes that were suitable for making pendants, and planned to buy the tools to process them.
It just so happened that she was planning to renovate the noodle shop and open a clothing store. When the time comes, she would make a few nice-looking fashion sets and pair them with blue and white porcelain pendants to place at the door, which would definitely attract attention.
As for the small pieces, they can be made into earrings or bracelets, which also have a unique flavor.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Mingxin wrote down the things he wanted to buy on a note and planned to go buy them tomorrow. Just as he was about to put them all away, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Mingxin stood up suddenly. It was him!
She walked quickly to the door, but put her hand on the lock and hesitated to open it.
It’s not easy for Xing Haodong to enter her home.
She was caught off guard last night and hadn't thought of any conditions to propose. A man and a woman were alone in a room. Even if they were siblings, her sacrifice was huge. How could she not get some benefits?
Jiang Mingxin deliberately remained silent, put his ear against the door panel, and listened to the movement outside.
Soon, the voices of Xing Haodong and Aunt Hu were heard outside the door.
"Oh, Mingxin's brother, did you just come back from a business trip? Why didn't you just open the door and go in? Did you forget to bring your key?" Aunt Hu asked kindly.
Xing Haodong shook his head. "I brought it with me, but Mingxin is already a grown-up girl. I didn't tell her I was coming back today because I wanted to give her a surprise. But I was afraid she might be showering and hadn't closed the door properly, so it wouldn't be a good idea to just barge in."
Aunt Hu was surprised and said, "I didn't realize that a grown man like you could be so considerate. You're right. Mingxin is eighteen now, right? If a girl that old were married off in the countryside, you, as the eldest brother, would have to be more careful. A girl from a decent family will have an easier time finding a husband in the future!"
After saying that, she pulled him again and asked, "How many days do you plan to stay at home after your business trip?"
Xing Haodong calculated the time and said, "At least two months. I suffered a work-related injury and broke my arm. My company approved my return to recuperate."
Aunt Hu immediately looked at him with pity, a hint of excitement in her eyes, "Okay, okay, you should take good care of yourself after you're injured. I'll make you some bone soup tomorrow!"
Just as Xing Haodong was about to refuse, the door opened and Jiang Mingxin pulled him in.
"Aunt Hu, don't bother me, I'll make soup for my brother!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Aunt Hu couldn't help laughing as she fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan. "This girl is a bit silly. It would be great if she could find a sister-in-law for her brother. There would be more people to love her. But then again, the brother and sister who depend on each other for survival and have a very good relationship are not going to be able to accept the sudden appearance of an outsider."
But it doesn't matter. She knows so many girls of the right age, so she doesn't have to worry about Jiang Mingxin being dissatisfied.
Jiang Mingxin listened attentively as Aunt Hu walked away, then raised her eyes to look at Xing Haodong.
Xing Haodong's face was expressionless, but a playful smile played on the corner of his mouth. "Why, are you worried that Aunt Hu will find me a partner?"
After saying that, without waiting for her to answer, he dragged the suitcase to the living room.
Without Jiang Mingxin's instructions, he moved the coffee table to the door, observed the structure of the sofa bed, found the mechanism, and pulled out the movable wooden board under the sofa.
Spread the two legs under the wooden board and place them on the ground, and a single bed will appear.
However, the space in the living room became even smaller. If Jiang Mingxin wanted to go to the balcony, she had to go around the sofa bed and pass through an aisle less than 20 centimeters wide.
