nXue Xi paused. She did not know if it was worth anything.

nJust as she was feeling conflicted, a voice sounded. “Take it. He must have lost it again.”

nXiang Huai walked in from the backyard. He must have just taken a shower. His hair was still a little wet and he was drenched.

n

n

nThinking that this person had the habit of waking up early to train, Xue Xi did not mind.

nUpon hearing Xiang Huai’s words, San Jin hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, accept it. It’s not worth much, just a few broken stones!”

nSo they were just stones.

nXue Xi knew that some gems were very valuable, but there were also some stones that looked similar to gems. These stones were red and green, and there were transparent things that were similar to stones.

n

n

nShe accepted the box.

nJust as she put it away, she heard a soft sound. She looked down and realized that the ring that San Jin was just wearing had actually fallen to the ground.

nXue Xi pointed at the ground. “Your ring…”

nSan Jin took a look and hurriedly lowered his head to pick it up. “Aiya, why did it drop again? Luckily you saw it, Sister-in-law. Otherwise, I would have lost money again! Sigh!”

n

n

nXue Xi: “…”

nWhat did he mean?

nCould it be that this person often lost money?

nThe corners of Xue Xi’s lips twitched.

nSan Jin turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister-in-law, do you want to earn money?”

nXue Xi: “?”

n

n

nJust as San Jin was about to say something, Xiang Huai walked over and inserted himself between him and Xue Xi. He then pointed at the table beside him and said, “Eat.”

nSan Jin obediently took the breakfast from Xue Xi’s hands and went to lay it out.

nXiang Huai said, “He’s very good at doing business and is also very lucky. He’s very good at earning money, but he has a unique trait.”

nXue Xi asked in confusion, “What?”

nXiang Huai: “… His fingers are too big so it’s easy for him to lose money.”

nXue Xi: “?”

nAfter San Jin finished preparing breakfast, he said in northeastern Mandarin, “Sister-in-law, I’m a careless person. For example, if it weren’t for you, my ring would have fallen again! Sigh!”

nAfter Xue Xi sat down, San Jin said, “Eh? Where’s the ring I just picked up?”

n

n

nXue Xi: “?”

nShe looked at San Jin’s hand. The ring was indeed gone.

nThis time, she did not even know where it was. It was simply undetected!

nHowever, San Jin was used to it and sighed. “Forget it. I’ll get another one next time.”

nHe did not go out. Anyway, it was in this room.

nXue Xi said, “Let’s look for it later.”

nSan Jin shook his head. “It’s useless. It’s hard to find what I lost! Let’s eat! It’s not much anyway.”

nXue Xi nodded and sat down for breakfast.

nSan Jin’s manner of eating was also very rough, like that of a rough man. He ate one bun at a time and smacked his lips as he ate. “This breakfast is really delicious. No wonder Boss doesn’t want to go back. He stays here to eat and drink!”

nXiang Huai shot him a glance and San Jin shut his mouth.

nXue Xi glanced at Xiang Huai.

nGo back… to where?

nShe suddenly realized that she had never understood Xiang Huai. For example, where was this person’s home? And were his parents still alive?

n

n

nThis person was really mysterious. The two of them had clearly been in contact for more than four months, but she actually knew nothing about Xiang Huai.

nAfter dinner, San Jin asked Xue Xi, “Sister-in-law, what do you like? I’ll buy it for you.”

nHe sounded like a nouveau riche.

nXue Xi thought for a moment and said, “Queen’s study guide.”

nSan Jin: “?”

n“Huanggang Worksheets.”

n“?”

n“Also, if you have any chemistry or English vocabulary books, you can give them to me.”

n“…”

n“Mathematics Weekly. I want everything.”

n“…”

nAfter Xue Xi said that, she realized that San Jin was looking at her differently. She then asked, “What’s wrong?”

nSan Jin said, “Shouldn’t girls like expensive jewelry and beautiful clothes and bags?”

nXue Xi said, “Oh, I’m not interested in those.”

n“…”

nAlright, he got Xue Xi’s preferences.

nXue Xi held Xiang Huai’s hand. When the pain in her heart disappeared, she picked up her bag and was about to go to class when she suddenly turned around and said, “Oh right, I have something to tell you.”

nXiang Huai looked at her and smiled. “Little kid, say it.”

nXue Xi: “… Your enemy is coming to Bin City.”

nEnemy?

nXiang Huai frowned and his voice turned colder. “Who?”

nXue Xi thought about it carefully and replied, “Qian Xin.”

nQian Sanjin, who was drinking soy milk, spat out. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Xue Xi. He then heard the young lady say slowly, “Although you might not need help, you can tell me if he comes looking for trouble.”

nQian Sanjin: “?”

nXiang Huai suddenly smiled. His gaze swept past Qian Sanjin and his voice was gentle. “I’ll tell you, then?”

nXue Xi raised her fist and waved it in front of him. “Mhm, I’ll help you beat him up.”

nQian Sanjin: “…”

nSister-in-law, the greeting gifts I gave you are gems. Is the greeting gift you’re giving me a fist?!

nAfter Xue Xi left, Qian Sanjin looked at Xiang Huai in despair. “Boss, why did you ruin my reputation for nothing?! Why am I your enemy?”

nXiang Huai ignored him and asked calmly, “When are you leaving?”

n“I’m not leaving!” Qian Sanjin acted shamelessly. “When you first founded the God of Fortune Corporation, you said that you’ll come back to manage it when you’re free. Now that you have nothing to do, you can go earn money!”

nXiang Huai shot him a cold glance. “Who said that I’m free?”

nQian Sanjin: “Aren’t you on leave? And it’s for half a year!”

nXiang Huai: “Yes.”

n“Then aren’t you just being idle?”

n“I’m not idle. I’m very busy.”

n“Busy with what?”

nXiang Huai: “Chasing a girlfriend.”

nQian Sanjin: “…”

n…

nAfter a month, Xue Xi returned to school. Just as she entered the school, she saw many students looking at her.

nShe did not mind. When she entered the classroom, she saw Xue Yao walking over. “Xue Xi, why isn’t Fan Han back yet?”

nXue Xi: “?”

nShe had finished her examination yesterday morning and returned in the afternoon. The rest still had a conclusion. Wasn’t it normal for them to not return?

nShe shot Xue Yao a glance and replied, “I don’t know.”

nXue Yao looked at her cold expression and said angrily, “How can you not know? Weren’t you going to the exam with them?”

nXue Xi could not be bothered with her. She returned to her seat and sat down. She instinctively looked forward. The seat belonging to the chatterbox was still empty.

nThe chatterbox would be doing the art examination in half a month. She would definitely not be able to come back for the time being.

nShe hoped that the chatterbox would study hard and pass.

nWhen it was time for class, she took notes seriously and planned to wait for the chatterbox to come back so she could tutor her.

nDuring the lesson, Gao Yanchen arrived and the two of them went to the side. Gao Yanchen said, “Sister Xi, I went back last night and forced my grandpa to tell me about me…”
