1299 She Was Not Afraid of Anything
Jian Ai nodded slightly, but Guan Tao couldn’t tell what she meant.
Guan Tao couldn’t help but panic. “Why are you nodding? What do you think? What are your plans?”
“I’m just not prepared.” Jian Ai was a little conflicted.
It was not that she hesitated, but it happened so suddenly that she was not completely prepared to date.
!!Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that she had never been in a relationship, so she could not help but feel nervous.
“What’s there to prepare? Isn’t dating something natural?” Guan Tao smiled and said, “You’re too paranoid.”
“Perhaps,” Jian Ai pursed her lips and said. She had always been decisive and had her own thoughts.
However, with a relationship between a man and a woman, even she found it annoying to drag it out.
Guan Tao seemed to have seen through Jian Ai’s psychological pressure, so she didn’t force her. She just changed her method and said, “If Qinghuan was around, she would definitely support you. Of course, dating needs to be done carefully. It’s not a bad thing for you to consider it too much. However, in the end, you still have to follow your heart. After all, relationships aren’t like anything else. In the end, it’s still dominated by your heart and feelings. It shouldn’t be a rational decision.”
“How old are we? I just think if you don’t be impulsive once when you’re young, you would have lived in vain. To be honest, when Gao Yang confessed to me back then, I was even more confused than you. But at least I knew I liked him too, so I agreed!”
When Jian Ai heard this, she seemed to be slightly convinced by Guan Tao and was encouraged in her heart.
Especially that sentence “if you don’t be impulsive once when you’re young, you would have lived in vain.”
Yes, this was her second youth. In her previous life, she had submissively treated herself as a nobody. She kept the boy she secretly liked for three years in her heart and did not dare to say it.
In this life, was she going to miss out on someone she rarely fell for like in her previous life?
So what if there was no result in the future? Dating and getting married were two different things. She did not have such high standards for choosing a partner when she was in a relationship.
Then what was she afraid of?
With this thought in mind, Jian Ai’s wavering thoughts immediately settled. She had already died once, so she was not afraid of anything.
…
The old lady stewed pork ribs and stir-fried eggs for lunch. Then, she carried them to Zhonglou District in a thermal lunch box.
Wang Yunfa’s vegetable stall business deteriorated day by day, and it was mostly due to the newly opened supermarket’s impact. In addition, the news of Wang Yunfa and Wang Dapeng brawl in the games room had long spread. The neighbors avoided him, and very few people came over.
After this incident, Wang Yunfa couldn’t recover for a long time. Until today, he still hadn’t completely recovered. The biggest blow to him wasn’t being sent to the police station, but the police handcuffed him away in front of his mother.
He was indeed not sensible enough, but at least he had a bottom line. The scene was still vivid in his mind. He also felt that he had embarrassed his mother.
He had been released from prison for so long. Ever since the day he came out, his parents had ignored him. Wang Yunfa felt they were too disappointed in him. The settlement fee was as high as two hundred and fifty thousand yuan even. His impulsiveness made his family spend so much money.
If it were in the past, he might not have been so self-reflective. Perhaps this incident had dealt a blow to him. In addition, he was already married and about to be a father. At this juncture, he had caused such a tremendous burden on the family that he felt he was in the wrong.
That morning, he sat in the shop for a few hours.
The old lady came over with food. As soon as she pushed the door open and entered the shop, she saw Wang Yunfa sitting at the counter in a daze.
The room was dry and cold. The old lady couldn’t help but shiver. She said, “Oh, why is it so cold in this room? It’s even colder than outside.”
When Wang Yunfa heard the commotion, he came back to his senses. When he saw the old lady, he quickly stood up. “Mom, you’re here.”
“I came to see you.” The old lady pretended nothing had happened and casually put down the lunch box. She said, “I stewed pork ribs for you. Eat them while they’re hot.”
“Why is it so cold in this room? Did you forget to pay the heating fee?” the old lady asked.
Because Wang Yunfa rented this place, if the heaters weren’t included in the rental, the tenant would have to separately pay the bill every month.
Wang Yunfa must have not paid.
Wang Yunfa sat down dejectedly and said, “I don’t feel cold.”
When the old lady saw his frosty appearance, her heart ached, and she was angry. “You’re not afraid of the cold, but wouldn’t the vegetables in this room be frozen?”
“Since I can’t sell it, so be it,” Wang Yunfa muttered and opened the lunch box.
As soon as the fragrance of the pork ribs came out, Wang Yunfa’s stomach, which initially didn’t feel hungry, immediately growled. He couldn’t be bothered to talk to the old lady, so he wolfed it down.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the old lady couldn’t bear to scold him anymore. She immediately took a stool and sat at the side. Looking at Wang Yunfa’s eating manner, she couldn’t help but frown. “Slow down. No one is fighting with you.”
Wang Yunfa stuffed his mouth with oil, but he couldn’t be bothered to reply to the old lady.
Sighing, the old lady asked casually, “Is Xiao Xia at her maternal family?”
Wang Yunfa nodded. After all, her stomach was getting bigger, so Wang Yunfa couldn’t take care of her.
The old lady sighed again. “Take Xiao Xia to your brother’s house on New Year’s Day to celebrate the holidays together.”
When Wang Yunfa heard this, he stopped eating and looked up at the old lady.
Seeing this, the old lady quickly said, “Your sister isn’t going back. It’s just our two families.”
“I’m not going back,” Wang Yunfa said and continued to eat.
Seeing this, the old lady couldn’t help but widen her eyes. “If you don’t come, where else can you go? To Xiao Xia’s maternal family? How will that look? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?!”
“Anyway, I’m not going back!” Wang Yunfa’s stubborn temper rose again. He was still holding a grudge against Wang Yunzhong for not helping him get the house back. Even on the day Wang Yunzhong and Xu Qianqian got married, he didn’t talk to Wang Yunzhong.
How could the old lady not know? She couldn’t help but say, “You’re almost done. If your brother hadn’t been busy running around and going to the hospital to apologize and negotiate a reconciliation, do you really think you would have been able to get out?”
“You’re not grateful for good things and only care about these lousy things. If your father finds out, see if he’ll hit you!”
The old lady was angry. She said to Wang Yunfa in an almost commanding tone, “Anyway, you have to bring Xiao Xia to your brother’s house for the holidays on New Year’s Day. Otherwise, your father and I won’t care about you in the future!”
