After finishing the sweet and crunchy melon, Gu Jin casually placed the part with the stem on the table and at the same time gave a side-eye to the woman named Lili in the upper bunk.
This scene was caught by Liang Xia, making his expression difficult to describe.
It also made him feel a resistance in his heart. Lili was too flamboyant and easily offended people because of her lack of education and knowledge.
Having no knowledge was not a problem; marrying a wife mainly required someone with whom one could live steadily, but Lili was not suitable, and she shouldn’t offend people casually either.
She couldn’t see the difference between the siblings on the lower bunk, but he could see it at a glance, especially the pretty girl whose temperament was rare even in Shenzhen.
He had seen girls with similar temperaments; the factory director’s daughter was one.
Liang Xia first doubted whether the future wife his mother found for him needed reconsideration.
Is such a woman really suitable for him and can they live steadily in the future?
What he wanted was a considerate wife with whom he could live a steady life, not someone who causes trouble by constantly comparing and offending others.
After all, Liang Xia had worked in a big city and knew what he wanted.
He took a bite of the big pancake with pickled vegetables, chewing vigorously and eating with relish; it was prepared by his mother.
"Eggs are really delicious. At home, I eat three eggs a day at every meal, while some can only watch enviously..."
Lili continued to exaggerate.
Others weren’t aware, but Liang Xia knew that Lili’s family had two brothers, and there were no eggs left for her at home.
Even the clothes she wore were bought by him.
He looked again at the biscuits, malted milk, and fruits on the table below, wondering if this was the kind of family that couldn’t afford eggs.
Liang Xia took another bite of the pancake with pickled vegetables in his hand, gently shaking his head internally, already having an idea in his mind.
Gu Jin and An Mingji ignored Lili’s "clamor".
The more attention such a person gets, the more "arrogant" they become.
The two ate and drank to their fill, lying on the bed with their eyes closed to rest.
What followed was a long wait.
At ten o’clock that evening, Shenzhen finally arrived.
Gu Jin had already packed her things. When the train stopped, she led the child to walk out.
Liang Xia and Lili also got off the train with them.
As soon as they got off, the two started to argue.
"Liang Xia, what do you mean?!"
In the bustling train station, Lili’s voice was particularly sharp.
Liang Xia was a very ordinary-looking man, but he spoke logically: "Lili, let’s call off our relationship. I’ll buy you a ticket back, and you don’t need the bride price money from your family either. After all, I was the one who broke off the engagement first. We’re not really suitable..."
Gu Jin didn’t hear the rest of the conversation, as she walked with the child out of the station with the crowd.
As they stepped out of the train station, a strange city appeared in view.
Gu Jin found a phone booth, inserted some change, and started making a call.
The call was picked up by the man who connected the village chief’s phone to Shenzhen, named Mao Mao.
"Doot doot doot..."
The phone was connected, and a familiar male voice sounded.
"Who are you?"
Hearing the familiar voice on the other end, Gu Jin spoke directly: "I’m Gu Jiajie’s cousin. I am at the Shenzhen station now. Where is my cousin? What should I do to find him?"
Hearing her words, a less familiar Mandarin quickly came through the receiver.
"They are with Seventh Brother. You need to go to Shuiwan to find..."
