Ch 73: Back to the Original Starting Point
Qiao Rong didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Yes, Guo Zhenbao and Qiao Zhenxiong didn’t want her to be with Qin Zui, because Qin Zui had bullied her before, and he was also terrible, and had other women in his heart.
Any parents who truly love their children would not want their children to be with someone like Qin Zui.
However, Guo Zhenbao especially, especially liked Fu Beijun.
The longer they spent together, the more she liked him, believing that Fu Beijun was simply the best choice for a live-in son-in-law for their family.
So, she wanted to keep all the good things for the Fu family, just like now.
Even though Qiao Rong had stated that she didn’t like Fu Beijun, Guo Zhenbao turned a deaf ear; she was too satisfied with Fu Beijun.
However, Qiao Rong didn’t object to Guo Zhenbao being good to the Fu family, after all, the power of life and death of their family was in the hands of the Fu family.
In fact, many times, Qiao Rong was thinking that she shouldn’t be afraid of the Fu family; currently, Fu Beijun didn’t pose any threat to her.
She could even think of various ways to make Fu Beijun obedient.
But she didn’t want to do this; from Fu Beijun, she saw a shadow of her former self, which made her always feel a little soft-hearted towards him.
She was also thinking, if only someone could have helped her in the beginning.
Qiao Rong then took these skin care products to the Fu family to give to Ye Mei.
Women all love beauty; Ye Mei was happy to see these gifts but also felt a little embarrassed.
“Rongrong, don’t bring these things here in the future; Auntie feels like she owes you too much.”
Alas, the Qiao family was really too good to them; she didn’t know how to repay them.
Qiao Rong said, “It’s okay, Aunt Ye, my mom can’t use up all these skin care products either.”
Ye Mei had no choice but to accept them.
She felt a little bitter in her heart; for wealthy people, these skin care products couldn’t be used up, but for her, a bottle of skin cream could be used for a long, long time.
Seeing that Qiao Rong was about to leave, Ye Mei stopped her and took a sweater out of the closet: “Rongrong, this is what Auntie has been knitting during this time; try it on and see if it fits.”
She didn’t expect that Ye Mei would knit a sweater for her; Qiao Rong was pleasantly surprised. This was a pure white sweater, and the material should be good; it felt smooth to the touch.
Ye Mei asked Qiao Rong to try it on, so Qiao Rong took off her coat and put on the sweater.
Ye Mei looked at Qiao Rong wearing this sweater, that well-behaved and lovely appearance, like a rabbit, couldn’t help but touch her hair and smile: “It looks pretty good.”
Her eyes carried a bit of love; spending time with Qiao Rong during this period not only changed her impression of Qiao Rong’s past but also made her want to raise her as her own daughter.
She was too cute; who wouldn’t like such a girl? It just so happened that she didn’t have a daughter either.
Moreover, she knitted a sweater for her, but Qiao Rong was extremely happy, as if she had obtained something precious.
But this sweater couldn’t compare to the price of any of the clothes she wore.
She was rich, but not arrogant; Ye Mei felt that this was the most rare and valuable thing about Qiao Rong.
She felt a sense of being respected from her, which moved her greatly.
Qiao Rong chatted with Ye Mei for a while, then left happily with the clothes.
Ye Mei thought, should she knit a scarf for Qiao Rong? Anyway, she had time; she would knit one for Beijun and Qiao Rong each.
Now that it was winter vacation, Fu Beijun wasn’t idle either; he had taken on a few tutoring jobs for his classmates, and he would go out to teach every other day.
As for her, she would do some handicrafts at home; these jobs were all found by her from the factory, calculated by the piece, not so taxing, and could also earn some living expenses.
Occasionally, she would also embroider some cross-stitch items and sell them.
Ye Mei didn’t like being treated as a patient by others; she had completed the surgery and hadn’t felt any heartache for a long time.
Soon, it would be the Lunar New Year.
Children had already started setting off firecrackers on the street; the crackling sound was deafening.
However, the alley on their side was quiet.
◈◈◈
Because, just a few days ago, a child played with firecrackers, and Fu Beijun happened to pass by. He looked at the child with a smile: “Is it fun?”
“It’s fun,” the child said.
Fu Beijun reached out and snatched their firecrackers.
The child wanted them, but Fu Beijun clenched them in his hand: “You’re not allowed to play with them again in the future.”
The two looked at each other; where had the child seen such terrifying eyes? He only felt that Fu Beijun’s threatening eyes were about to eat him.
Originally, there was a big difference in age and height between the two; with Fu Beijun’s slight intimidation, they didn’t dare to play anymore.
“Don’t let your friends play either; don’t tell your parents, otherwise, you’ll be sorry.”
With a word of threat, he scared the naughty children away, so until it was almost the Lunar New Year, the alley was still quiet.
Ye Mei felt surprised and didn’t understand why there was no festive atmosphere on their side.
But it was also good; otherwise, with the firecrackers exploding one after another, her heart might not be able to bear it.
But as the Lunar New Year approached, she was in a better and better mood.
This year, she could finally have a reunion dinner with her family; at this time last year, she was spending it in the hospital.
“Auntie.” At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
It was Song Ranran.
Ye Mei put down what she was doing and went to open the door.
“Happy New Year, Auntie,” she said to Ye Mei with a smile, offering a blessing.
Ye Mei also liked Song Ranran, feeling that she and Qiao Rong were two different types of girls; Qiao Rong was cute and lively, and Song Ranran was gentle and cheerful. Both of them were very good.
“Ranran, Happy New Year, sit down,” Ye Mei greeted Song Ranran.
Song Ranran looked at Ye Mei in front of her; the woman had her hair up, especially gentle and refined, and also had a bit of nobility.
If she remembered correctly, the Fu family’s life used to be good, but later they went bankrupt.
But a person’s temperament will always remain.
Since Ye Mei’s last surgery was successful, her body had improved, and now her complexion wasn’t as pale as before.
That’s great, really great.
Thinking of this, Song Ranran felt a little unbearable in her heart.
Speaking of which, Ye Mei was actually very good to her; she couldn’t bear to see her have an accident.
But thinking of her own happiness, thinking of her experiences in her previous life, anyway, at this time in her previous life, Ye Mei was about to have an accident, and later hung on in the hospital for two months, but finally died.
In this life, letting her return to the ending of her previous life, it was actually nothing, right?
Thinking of this, the unbearable feeling in Song Ranran’s eyes turned into firmness.
“Auntie, I have something I want to tell you; do you know? Actually, Beijun has really had a hard time at school these years.”
◈◈◈
After Qiao Rong finished Song Ranran’s call, she ran to the Fu family.
She forgot! This moment’s plot in the book was so important, but she forgot that it happened at this time!
Was she getting carried away? Thinking that she was slowly changing everything, but in fact, fate came full circle and returned to the original starting point.
