Chapter 1100 - 1100 Pay a Visit
1100 Pay a Visit
If her elder son went to study at Qiao Mei’s house, then there would be no one to take care of her younger son at home. She had no choice as her life was such. She was unable to give her child a good life and could only do her best.
Since Zhou Shuang had put it across like that, Qiao Mei did not want to make things difficult for her. She decided to let Zhou Shuang have her own way.
Just like that, another two days passed peacefully. Cheng Gu was really worried about Tan Jing and quietly made his way to her house door to try and get a chance to see her. However, after he waited for a long time, he did not see her at all and began to get a little worried.
“Hello? Is this Tan Jing’s house?” Cheng Gu knocked on the door and asked politely.
Jiang Yi raised her head and carefully sized up the person in front of her. He was dressed quite simply, but Jiang Yi was a person who had seen much of life. She could tell at a glance that the watch on Cheng Gu’s hand was worth a lot of money. It was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford. He must be a rich man!
“Yes it is! Why are you looking for my daughter?” Jiang Yi asked with a wide smile.
“I’m just here to visit her. Is she not at home? If she’s not at home, I’ll come again another day,” Cheng Gu said.
Jiang Yi quickly grabbed Cheng Gu and said, “Um… she has gone out! To do some shopping! She’ll be back soon! Come in and wait!”
Just like that, Cheng Gu was forced to enter the Tan family’s house. As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by Tan Jing’s younger brothers. Tan Hu and Tan Bao started asking all kinds of questions, almost wanting to find out information on all of Cheng Gu’s ancestors!
The good thing was that Cheng Gu was an amiable person and he answered all the questions one by one.
Jiang Yi took the opportunity to rush to the village entrance to borrow the phone and call Tan Jing.
“Tan Jing, you wretched girl, come back quickly! An esteemed guest is here to look for you!” Jiang Yi said agitatedly.
An esteemed guest? What kind of esteemed guest could the Tan family have? Could it be that the child was here again? However, ever since Jiang Yi compensated that family, she had not been nice to them. If that child was here, Jiang Yi would beat him up with a big stick. Why would she make such an agitated phone call to Tan Jing?
“What esteemed guest? Why don’t I know anything about an esteemed guest?” Tan Jing asked curiously.
“Just come back when I tell you to! Don’t talk so much! Hurry up! He’ll leave in a while!” After saying that, Jiang Yi hung up. It was very expensive to make a phone call!
Jiang Yi did not even look at the boss and turned to leave. The boss hurriedly shouted, “Tan family’s daughter-in-law! You haven’t paid yet!”
“The phone call isn’t even 10 seconds long! What right do you have to charge me! I only said two sentences! You still want to charge me for this! How can you earn such illicit money! How do you feel at ease after earning such money!” Jiang Yi said.
“Hey! How can you say that! You have to pay me when you use my phone! You already used the same argument the last two times, but how can you do this every time! If you don’t pay me today, I’ll go to the police station to file a report!” the boss said furiously.
Jiang Yi was not afraid at all. She could not wait for the boss to go to the police station! The police chief and Xia Wen were good friends. In the past, whenever their family members got into trouble and had to go to the police station, they would at most get a slap on the wrist. Even if they had to go to the police station, they would always be able to come back unscathed.
The boss would be the one to suffer a bigger loss. For a phone bill of a few cents, he would have to close his shop and go to the police station with Jiang Yi to get the issue mediated. Jiang Yi was an idle person who did not have a job and did not need to go to work. The winning party would be the one who could afford to waste time.
By the time Jiang Yi returned home, Cheng Gu’s mouth was already dry from all the talking. When Tan Hu and Tan Bao found out that he was a photographer, their expressions changed. In their eyes, if he was not an official, then he was not anyone useful. In that case, there was no difference between him and them. What was the use of treating such a person to good food and wine!
“Oh my! Sorry to keep you waiting! Xiao Jing will be back soon. Wait a little longer!” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
“Auntie, I’m not in a hurry as long as she’s coming back. I’m just here to pay her a visit today. There’s nothing else,” Cheng Gu said politely.
