Gu Mingfeng stood there stiffly, like a clay sculpture.
Jiang Mingxin has changed. She is no longer the country girl who used to be obedient and gentle to him.
She was no longer pure, but became materialistic and vicious, abandoning her most precious kindness and consideration, and even learned to seek revenge and climb up the social ladder.
He was ashamed of her.
I feel even more sorry for Bai Dingxian who was bewitched by her.
Gu Mingfeng quickly convinced himself and looked around calmly, "Stop looking, everyone, go away. What's there to see? It's just a misunderstanding. How can I, a platoon leader, still bother with a country girl?"
After saying that, he endured the severe pain in his toe, got on the 28-inch bicycle, and rode away quickly, leaving his parents far behind.
Gu's father and mother looked at each other in surprise, then ran after him: "Mingfeng, Mingfeng, wait for us!"
Looking at the backs of the family of three, several girls spat on the ground rudely.
"He's really good at pretending. Why didn't I see before that Gu Mingfeng was this kind of person?"
"His parents aren't good people either. Bai Ruoxi has already said she wants to cancel the engagement, but he still keeps trying to get close to her. Now he's even putting the blame on Jiang Mingxin."
"Alas, you can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. I used to think Jiang Mingxin was shameless and persistent, but now it seems that it was just Gu Mingfeng who was being sentimental!"
The filter they once had for Gu Mingfeng was completely shattered.
Jiang Mingxin didn't care about anyone's reaction. She calmly followed Bai Dingxian upstairs. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Bai Ruoxi flying towards her like a butterfly.
"Mingxin, you're finally here! I got up early today to welcome you and have been busy since six o'clock."
She had a sweet smile on her face and was talking to Jiang Mingxin, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Dingxian.
Bai Dingxian reached out and touched her head. "Good girl, Ruoxi, you've worked hard today. Mingxin, you must try Ruoxi's cooking later. When she heard you were coming, she specially prepared several dishes and put a lot of effort into it."
Bai Ruoxi lowered her head with a shy smile, rubbed it against Bai Dingxian's palm, then raised her head and pulled her wrist.
"Yeah~ Mingxin, come in quickly. I've prepared some new slippers for you. I bought them at the store yesterday. Try them on and see if they fit you well."
With a thud, Jiang Mingxin placed the heavy can of oranges on the floor.
Bai Ruoxi suddenly cried out nervously: "Oh, I just mopped the floor!"
Bai Ding first glanced at Jiang Mingxin and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter if it's dirty. I'll ask your elder brother to mop it again later."
"But..." Bai Ruoxi pouted in grievance, but didn't say much. After Jiang Mingxin changed into slippers, she pulled her into the living room.
"Mingxin, look, this is the TV we just replaced last year. If you want to watch something, I can turn it on right now. But it's daytime now, so there aren't many TV programs."
"Oh, this is a refrigerator. You haven't seen one before, have you? The top can freeze pork and beef, and the bottom can refrigerate food. Even in the summer, it can keep vegetables and fruits fresh."
"And this Sanyo tape recorder is great quality. It's still working after all these years. I have quite a few tapes. Whose music do you like? I have tapes by Teresa Teng, Andy Lau, Alan Tam, Danny Chan, and many more!"
Jiang Mingxin looked at Bai Ruoxi's rosy face and curled his lips slightly: "I didn't expect that your spare time is quite rich. I like Andy Lau's "Back to You", let's listen to it."
As she spoke, she accurately picked out Andy Lau's tape in front of Bai Ruoxi's astonished gaze.
Without any instruction, he skillfully opened the tape recorder, put the tape in, and pressed the play button.
Accompanied by Andy Lau's charming and gentle singing, Jiang Mingxin calmly walked around the small three-bedroom house.
Bai Dingxian really loved his daughter. Not only did he give her a room of his own, but her room was also much larger than the one shared by Bai Jiwen and Bai Jiwu. The furniture was all made of solid wood, and it was obviously high-end stuff.
Bai Ruoxi saw her staring blankly at her room, and her sense of superiority, which had just been weakened, suddenly surged.
"Mingxin, your skirt is from a few years ago. It's old-fashioned. Come here, I'll pick out a nice one for you!"
She took Jiang Mingxin's hand affectionately and walked towards the bedroom. She opened the wardrobe and pointed at the colorful and varied skirts inside and raised her face: "They look good, don't they? Some of these were bought for me by Dad, some by my eldest and second brothers, and some by Brother Mingfeng... You can pick whatever you want, I can give them to you."
Seeing her so generous, Jiang Mingxin naturally wouldn't be polite.
"Then let's go for this one, this one, and this one." She didn't need to look carefully to know which materials were the most expensive these days.
Bai Ruoxi's expression froze instantly. "These pieces are beautiful, but a bit too plain. How about you look at something else?"
"No need, just these three. I like them very much." Jiang Mingxin raised his eyebrows jokingly, "You're not reluctant to part with them, are you?"
"How is that possible? They are just a few skirts. If I want them, my elder and second brothers can buy them for me anytime."
Bai Ruoxi felt a pang of pain, but she wasn't too reluctant to part with the skirts. She immediately took them out, put them in a bag, and handed it to Jiang Mingxin, "Be careful when you take them back to wash them. Don't rub them too hard."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Mingxin walked around her room and her eyes fell on her dressing table. "Hey, you still have a pearl necklace?"
