Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Bei sat on the bench in pain and covered his eyes.
Nothing had changed. Xu Xinrong’s cold gaze did not linger on him as she left while holding her daughter. Her daughter was crying.
All of this made it difficult for Jiang Bei to breathe, and his chest felt like it was burning.
Even though he had been very tired these past few days, he always felt that he could persist.
That night when Xu Xinrong covered him with a blanket, it made Jiang Bei feel that he was about to succeed. If he worked hard, he would definitely be able to save his family.
But when he told her about what happened today, Xu Xinrong’s disdain for him reappeared.
It was not a misunderstanding. It was what he had made her feel all these years.
He was a lying scumbag!
It was useless trying to explain himself, as Xu Xinrong did not want to listen to him.
The image of him as a scumbag would not be destroyed overnight.
He had to remove this label from him that was already deep in his bones, even if the process was extremely painful.
But he could not give up.
Jiang Bei slowly stood up and walked into the ward.
…
“I want daddy, I want daddy…” Wanwan’s tears were so heartbreaking.
She was about to fall asleep just now, but when she saw her father, she woke up again.
Especially after she knew that she wouldn’t be staying with her father, her young heart suffered a huge blow.
Didn’t daddy change? Daddy had clearly worked so hard. Wanwan didn’t understand why her family would still be like this even though daddy had clearly changed.
But didn’t he say that he would give her a perfect home like other children?
“Wanwan, be good.” Xu Xinrong had no way to comfort Wanwan. She could only pat her daughter’s back gently.
At this moment, Wanwan was also tired from crying. She muttered softly in Xu Xinrong’s arms.
As for Xu Xiaoqiang, who was following behind her silently, he could not help but fall into deep thoughts.
He did not expect that Jiang Bei would be honest about it.
Did Jiang Bei not know what the consequences would be if he said it out loud?
Even though he was willing to help Jiang Bei to see if this could really make money, what should he do now?
He knew that Jiang Bei lied in order to rent the shop but he could also see that Jiang Bei really intended to make money.
Moreover, after he heard his father and Jiang Bei’s conversation yesterday, at least in his heart, he believed that Jiang Bei wanted to change.
As the old saying went, it was better to destroy ten temples than one marriage.
Especially if it was his own sister’s. Of course he wanted her to have a happy family.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but take two steps forward. “I think… you should give him a few more days.”
“What if it really works out? If he earns money, won’t you guys be fine too?” Xu Xiaoqiang braced himself and said it.
Hearing this, Xu Xinrong stopped and looked at Xu Xiaoqiang coldly.
“Xiaoqiang, remember, no matter how much money he earns, it’s still his, not mine.”
“What happened between us is not something that can be made up with money.” Xu Xinrong shook her head slightly and said in a low voice.
She only covered Jiang Bei with a blanket yesterday because of her responsibility as a wife.
When the house was sold and everything was over, Jiang Bei had no reason to stay with her anymore.
His future life also had nothing to do with her.
“Sigh…” Xu Xiaoqiang sighed softly and did not say anything more.
He, an outsider, could not interfere in the matters between the two of them.
…
The ward became silent with Jiang Bei’s arrival.
“Dad, Mom.” Jiang Bei walked forward.
Li Yun glanced at him but didn’t even greet him.
Xu Xuefeng asked, “Are you prepared for the business? This time, you should work hard.”
“It’s ready. We can start tomorrow morning.” Jiang Bei hesitated for a moment and then said, “We should be able to earn some money.”
“Okay.”
After saying a few words, the atmosphere sank again.
After a long while, Jiang Bei said, “Dad, Mom, you guys rest early tonight. I’ll go back first.”
He didn’t make any promises to Xu Xuefeng because nothing was worse than Xu Xinrong misunderstanding him.
He wanted to earn some money to protect his family, that was all.
“Sure.” Xu Xuefeng nodded and did not stop him.
After Jiang Bei left, Li Yun opened her mouth with some hesitation, “Can he do it? Does he know anything about business?”
“Who knows if he can or not? But nothing can be worse than this. Also, don’t try to persuade Xinrong.”
“Do you like seeing Xingrong getting a divorce?”
Li Yun suddenly snorted.
Xu Xuefeng shook his head and didn’t respond.
…
The sky gradually brightened.
After waking up early in the morning, Jiang Bei headed to the shopping district to open the shop.
He would prove himself with today’s business!
