"Xiaobai, would you like to elope with me? Let's find a secluded place with beautiful mountains and rivers where no one can find us and spend our lives there?"
"Sure, but we don't have to do that. Give me time. I have the ability to be worthy of you and to make your family accept me! We can be together openly and aboveboard."
...
The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the empty room, with the conversation from last night echoing in his ears. When he woke up, Jiang Xue was gone. There was a small pink butterfly hairpin on the bedside table. Jiang Xue might have forgotten to take it.
He looked at this small pink butterfly hairpin. Come to think of it, it could be regarded as a token when they first met. Remembering the scene when he moved out of the school dormitory and came here, Jiang Xue brought him. That day, she wore this small hairpin. When she left, she dropped the hairpin on the ground. He picked it up and called Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue just froze for a moment, didn't say thank you, took the hairpin and left.
"Say, your biological father is at least one of the top-ranking group bosses in China, and your adoptive parents can also be regarded as local tyrants in this rural area. You must have no shortage of money. Why do you like to wear such a small hairpin that could be bought for one or two yuan at a street stall several years ago? This is simplicity!"
Jiang Xiaobai held the hairpin, carefully looked at it, thought for a moment, and felt that there should be a story behind this hairpin. He directly picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the Golden House to scan it. With a beep, the result came out.
"Small Butterfly Hairpin."
"Origin of the item: Yiwu."
"Manufacturing time: March 9, 2003."
"Holder: Jiang Xiaobai."
"Source: Given by Jiang Xue."
"Special attribute: The only keepsake left by Jiang Xue's biological mother to Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue also fell in love with the host because of this hairpin."
...
"The holder is me? The only keepsake left by Jiang Xue's biological mother to her? Now Jiang Xue gave it to me? Didn't she leave it behind when she left this morning? Did she like me because of this hairpin? Doesn't that mean that Jiang Xue had thoughts about him on the first day he moved in?"
Jiang Xiaobai didn't figure it out for a while. After organizing his thoughts again, he suddenly understood.
When he scanned Jiang Xue, the result showed that Jiang Xue had a relationship. But Jiang Xue had never been in a relationship with anyone. She didn't have a relationship with that fiancé Zhao Zhenyang either. She just felt that she was not young, and the two were well-matched, so they registered for marriage. On the wedding day, Zhao Zhenyang died. Then she returned to the village and never went out to work or contact outsiders again. So there was only one possibility for that relationship of Jiang Xue, which was her secret love for him since he moved in. No wonder his rent was the lowest. When the fat landlord aunt wanted to drive him away, she would stop her.
Now think about it. They are neither relatives nor classmates or friends. He rented someone else's house and couldn't afford the rent. Why would she let him continue to live there? Originally, it wasn't because he liked Jiang Xue that Jiang Xue helped him, but Jiang Xue also liked him.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Urgent knocking on the door sounded.
"Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning? Jiang Xue?"
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly put on his pajamas and wore slippers, walked to the door, and opened it. The one knocking on the door was actually Wu Ruoruo, Jiang Hao's little sister girlfriend.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked impatiently.
"Brother-in-law, are you still sleeping? My sister is leaving... Aren't you going to see her off?"
Wu Ruoruo whispered.
"What? Jiang Xue is leaving? Where to?"
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked. He had just ended his more than twenty years of single life and ushered in sweet love and career.
"Jiang Xue's biological father came to pick her up. Wow, that pomp is just like in a TV drama. I really didn't expect that her biological father is such a powerful figure in our China! I'm so envious. You hurry up and go over now. You can still take a distant look and keep a memory."
Wu Ruoruo swallowed saliva and urged Jiang Xiaobai.
"Ah... Picked up!"
Jiang Xiaobai was immediately anxious and walked straight outside.
"Clothes... Change your clothes! Are you going to streak... Brother-in-law, this figure is not bad. There's even big pectoral muscles..."
Wu Ruoruo hurriedly reminded, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with malicious intent in her eyes and muttering.
"Oh, wait for me for a moment."
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly went into the room to change his clothes and shoes. He rushed out of the door in a hurry and ran downstairs quickly.
"Wait for me, brother-in-law!"
Wu Ruoruo hurriedly followed.
Jiang Xiaobai almost used his lightness skills and ran downstairs, crossed the road, and when he arrived near the yard of the fat landlord aunt's house, there were already three layers inside and three layers outside. I don't know how many people were watching. Jiang Xiaobai didn't care about any morality and squeezed in directly.
The yard door was closed, and dozens of bodyguards were guarding it. A series of luxury cars lined up from the entrance of the village to the yard door.
These luxury cars started with a stretched Lincoln, followed by all Aston Martins...
One after another...
There were at least thirty or forty or more...
In a small square at the entrance of the village, there was also a private plane. Around the plane, there was a circle of black-clad bodyguards, fully armed with real guns and live ammunition.
This wasn't a TV drama or a movie. It was truly happening right in front of them.
Such a luxurious scene, some people haven't seen it in their entire lives.
"Brother-in-law, how about it? Is this scene magnificent?"
Wu Ruoruo also squeezed in and squeezed onto Jiang Xiaobai, smiling and saying.
"When did they come?"
Jiang Xiaobai was clutching the small butterfly hairpin that Jiang Xue left him.
"They came early in the morning."
Wu Ruoruo intentionally or unintentionally rubbed against Jiang Xiaobai.
"Move away!"
Jiang Xiaobai said coldly.
"Damn, is it that small?"
Wu Ruoruo glared at Jiang Xiaobai dissatisfiedly, took a few steps back, and kept a distance from Jiang Xiaobai.
Just at this moment, the yard door opened. First, a few black-clad bodyguards led the way. Then, under the protection of a dozen bodyguards like stars surrounding the moon, a man in a retro Zhongshan suit, about fifty years old with grizzled hair, walked out first. He was Jiang Shulin, the third-ranked legendary business tycoon in China's rich list in 2020, with a net worth of hundreds of billions... Controlling a business empire.
The people around watching let out bursts of cheers.
Jiang Xue came out afterwards. Jiang Xue was still wearing the ordinary clothes she wore when she met Jiang Xiaobai last night. Her eyes were red, and there were two female bodyguards beside her.
The fat landlord aunt, the landlord uncle, and Jiang Hao also came out later.
Jiang Shulin got into the car. Jiang Xue hugged the landlord aunt and the landlord uncle respectively, patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder, turned and walked to the car behind Jiang Shulin. Before getting into the car, she turned her head and looked around... Seemingly trying to find the face she wanted to find.
"Sister, it's over here!"
Wu Ruoruo hurriedly waved her hand and shouted loudly.
Jiang Xue followed the sound and saw this side. Her gaze fell on Jiang Xiaobai. The two looked at each other.
Jiang Xue's lips trembled, and a stiff smile appeared on her face.
Jiang Xiaobai raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, nodding. But there was a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that Jiang Xue was completely over with him.
Jiang Xue bit her lip, turned around and got into the car.
One car after another slowly drove out of the village entrance escorted by bodyguards... The crowd watching turned into a human flow following behind.
The helicopter on the small square also started. A dozen fully armed bodyguards with real guns and live ammunition got on the plane. The plane took off after the convoy drove out of the village entrance.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't follow the human flow and stood there.
"Brother-in-law, Jiang Xue has left..."
The nearby Wu Ruoruo reminded. The fat landlord aunt and Jiang Hao at the door over there saw Jiang Xiaobai here and walked towards this side.
