Ji Yuanyuan then looked at Ji Zi’ang and said, “Cousin, it would be great if my Mother was so generous.”
Ji Zi’ang stretched out his hand and tapped Ji Yuanyuan’s forehead, “Your Mother is good enough toward you. What else do you want?”
Ji Yuanyuan smiled and handed the tomatoes she had chosen to Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt, “Auntie, I’ve done choosing. How much does it cost?”
Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt took the tomatoes and placed them on a tray. She weighed them, “Six Yuan and twenty cents.”
Ji Yuanyuan took out a handful of change from his pocket and started counting.
“By the way, you said you met Lingxue in the city. Where did you meet her?” Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly asked.
“It was near Seventh High…” Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and said.
However, she stopped mid-sentence. She raised her head with a vigilant expression, “Why are you asking this?”
Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt smiled, “I just want to know where she lives. Her Grandfather misses her. If he knows where she lives, he can secretly go and see if she’s doing well.”
“That won’t do. Her Grandfather has already sent her out. How can he go and see her? Her adoptive mother will be unhappy.” Ji Yuanyuan pretended to hesitate.
Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt gritted her teeth and pushed the tomatoes on the tray forward, “Tell me where she is. I’ll give you these tomatoes.”
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, “That’s not very good…”
“What’s not good about it? Her Grandfather would not disturb her life. He just wanted to take a look from afar.”
Ji Yuanyuan sighed, “Alright then. Come over here. I’ll tell you…”
When Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt heard this, she quickly bowed and leaned her ear in front of Ji Yuanyuan.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, she was afraid that she would forget, so she quickly wrote down the name of the neighborhood on the paper used to settle accounts.
After she finished writing, she gave Ji Yuanyuan a look, “Is this the place? Did I write it wrong?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head and picked up the tomatoes on the ground, “Thank you, Auntie. Goodbye.”
Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt was currently focused on the few words on the paper and had no time to pay attention to Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan was not angry and left with Ji Zi’ang.
A moment later, Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt carefully put away the paper.
This piece of paper could not be lost. It was a treasure.
Back then, Shen Mei, that slut, had caused their family to be unable to raise their heads in the village until today.
Now, her daughter had gone to the city to enjoy her life, and her entire family was still struggling to dig for food in the fields.
This was what the mother and daughter owed their family. They had to get it back.
Even if she could not get the money, she could not let Shen Lingxue, that little slut, live too comfortably.
At the thought of this, she stopped selling the vegetables and packed up. She was about to carry the vegetables home.
After walking for a distance, Ji Zi’ang could not help but turn around and see that the woman was already cleaning up the stall.
He retracted his gaze and asked in a low voice, “Will this work?”
Ji Yuanyuan also lowered her voice.
Many years ago, she knew Jiang Lingxue’s Aunt was a wicked woman who liked to take advantage of others.
If Jiang Lingxue was living a miserable life, it would be fine. Perhaps she would be indifferent even if she knew where Jiang Lingxue lived.
However, now that she knew that Jiang Lingxue was living a good life, she would definitely feel upset.
Why did she have to suffer in the countryside while Jiang Lingxue was enjoying life?
It was fine if she didn’t know where she lived, but once she did, she would definitely look for Jiang Lingxue.
As for what she could do, Ji Yuanyuan did not know.
However, it was obvious that it was not a good thing.
Perhaps it would force Jiang Lingxue to reveal her true form and lose her adoptive mother’s love.
At that time, Jiang Lingxue would definitely collapse. How painful would it be to gain and lose!
“Second Brother, do you think I’m doing something wrong?” Ji Yuanyuan tilted his head and asked tentatively.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Zi’ang was a little surprised. “Jiang Lingxue was so arrogant when she was young. She followed behind her mother and laughed at us a lot. Besides, her mother had done so many bad things. Would her death make everything go away? She was Shen Mei’s child. It was not impossible for her to repay Shen Mei’s debt.”
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief and said mischievously, “We didn’t do anything. We just came to buy tomatoes. When you go back, don’t tell Big Brother and the others.”
“I know. Don’t worry.” Ji Zi’ang nodded.
When they got home, Ji Zi’ang did not mention anything.
The one-week Labor Day holiday soon came to an end.
On the morning of May 6th, Li Lei brought Meng Xiaoning back.
The two of them went to a city in the south and booked the hard berth from last night. When she woke up, she had returned to the train station in S City.
Meng Xiaoning seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as she reached home, she picked Li Xiang up and coaxed her softly, “Have you been obedient these past few days?”
Li Xiang also hugged Meng Xiaoning’s neck tightly and replied while sobbing.
After lunch, Li Lei took a short break and drove the three siblings home.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun were at home, which surprised Ji Yuanyuan, “Dad, Mom, why are you at home today?”
“It’s the last day of the holiday, so we need to rest.” Zhang Kun said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Lei was about to leave, Li Xu stood up and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Your Brother-in-law and I have booked an office these few days. The decorations are almost done.”
When Ji Zi’ang heard this, he asked excitedly, “Where is it?”
“You’ll know when you go.”
When Ji Zi’ang heard this, he hurriedly urged them, “Let’s go, let’s go…”
Zhang Kun took the car keys.”
Zhang Kun brought the three children with him. Li Xu guided him in Li Lei’s car and soon arrived at the place.
It was a relatively large business center in this area. The 20-story building was quite eye-catching in this area.
A few of them parked their cars in the parking lot in front and quickly entered the building.
There were security guards at the door. They recognized Zhang Kun and Li Xu and greeted them when they entered.
After entering, Li Xu brought a few people to the elevator.
After entering the elevator, Li Xu pressed the button for the sixth floor.
“It’s on the sixth ©floor,” sighed Li Lei. “It’s a rather auspicious floor.”
“Speaking of which, I was lucky. When 1 first came here, some of the better floors were rented. At that time, we thought, forget it, there’s no need to be so superstitious. However, the second time she came, a company on the sixth floor had moved away.”
As they spoke, the elevator had already reached the sixth floor.
The corridor was quite spacious and bright, and it looked quite classy.
