Jiang Xia was willful and self-centered. Unless he met with obstacles like Jing Yunzhao or Xiao Haiqing, otherwise he would see things until the end once he set his mind on it.
Thus, the more Qiao Hongye refused him, the more he wanted to gain a foot after gaining an inch.
Unfortunately, Qiao Hongye had decided to not act toughly in public. That gentle voice of hers was completely useless right now.
After the two had dragged each other around for awhile, Jiang Xia decided to just rush into the general office and took a day off in Qiao Hongye's stead. With things as chaotic as they were now, Qiao Hongye had no choice but to compromise. However, internally she was furious at Jiang Xia.
The eyes of the crowd were not blind. Her face was only slightly red. Walking out of the school with this face, even if she was walking alone, people would think she was overreacting.
At this moment, Jing Yunzhao had heard everything that was going on outside clearly. She could not help but feel a little happy.
In her past life, Qiao Hongye had made Jiang Xia woo her passionately. Fortunately, she did not accept it. Otherwise, even if she had been reborn, she would vomit to death in her heart once she saw this Jiang Xia. Moreover, looking at Qiao Hongye and Jiang Xia together, one was self-centered, the other was hypocritical. They were definitely a match made in heaven!
Qiao Hongye suffered under this unfairness. It was enough that she had been slapped, but things would be endless after this because she got dragged to the hospital.
Not only that, with Jiang Xia always keeping her company, the doctors at the hospital all gave her second glances. She felt extremely shameful.
Also, Qiao Hongye had actually thought that Jiang Xia's character was not bad in the past. On the journey to the hospital today, however, he kept touching her inappropriately. The touches were ambiguous yet not overboard, making it hard for her to complain. Especially because she was a female, her strength would not win over Jiang Xia's, she could not fight it at all. Even the pedestrians along the way would point at them, saying that she had no self-respect despite being so young. This made her feel completely ashamed with nowhere to hide her face.
However, Jing Yunzhao did not know these events that had happened later. Her concentration was turned to a memory of a major situation that was about to happen.
Huaning County was considered a county with quite a few historical remains. In her past life, it was just around this time that an antique dealer bought a piece of china from a worker who did not understand the value of antiques for ¥1,000. The news then traveled to the ears of an elder of noble character and high prestige from the Ning Municipality. This elder loved to collect antiques. After the china piece had been appraised, he discovered that the chinaware was actually Ming Hongwu's porcelain jar and spent more than two million to buy it.
After this news spread, Qiao Weimin kept wailing in pity. This was because that worker often carried that porcelain jar to a small marketplace that Qiao Weimin frequented for breakfast to sell it. Not only had he seen it with his own eyes, he had even mocked that worker for thinking of money till he was crazy.
Only did he find out afterwards that a chance to get rich had fallen from the sky and it had brushed past him, causing him to regret to the point where he could not sleep for many nights. He had even mentioned it many times at home.
Jing Yunzhao currently had savings of ¥3,000,000. It was not a small sum of money, but it also could not be referred to as a lot.
At this point of her new life, the porcelain vase still has not been bought by the antiquary. Why would she let go of a chance like this?
Also, according to what she knew, that worker at the small marketplace had stayed there for slightly more than a month. If she arrived early, she would definitely be able to meet the other party.
Thinking till here, Jing Yunzhao's eyes let out hints of a smile.
After school that day, she took a ride back to Ning Xiang Town. However, when she arrived at her destination, the sky had already turned dark. Her only choice was to find a motel to stay for the night and visit the small marketplace the next morning.
The motel Jing Yunzhao chose was just beside the small marketplace. She just needed to look down from her room's window and she would be able to see it. From that vantage point, she would also be able to see all the movements within the marketplace.
Thus, on the second day, Jing Yunzhao headed downstairs only when the worker, who was carrying the item, showed up.
