After Jiang's mother heard about it, she didn't think You Changjin was silly, but felt that five hundred yuan was really too little. If he really liked my daughter, shouldn't he at least give five thousand or fifty thousand?
Jiang Xinyi rolled her eyes and said, "I'm really thankful that you think so highly of me, huh?"
"You had a good job and you gave it up to work at some small courier station, happy to make a mere thousand a month?" Jiang's mother chided her daughter.
But Jiang Xinyi said you don't understand.
"At least I'm quite happy now."
"You're already 25, Uncle Shen's daughter, who is about your age, has already had twins, and here you are, still acting like a child who refuses to grow up."
The afternoon light, filtering through the slightly opened curtains, shone into the study.
Jiang's mother scolded her daughter a good deal.
But Jiang Xinyi was used to it and seemed not to care. She sat down on a medieval European leather chair, her small feet in slippers kicked out casually.
Revealing her exquisitely beautiful little feet.
She pulled her legs up onto the chair and listened to her mother's lecture with bored indifference.
The sunlight made her little feet seem almost translucent, and while her mother went on and on, she was fixated on the sight of her own feet in the sunlight.
She stretched her toes hard, and as the light hit them, shadows of her little feet appeared on the floor.
Heh, that's actually pretty fun.
After Jiang's mother had talked for a long time, she turned her head only to find her daughter playing with her feet.
In that moment she was so angry she came over and knocked her daughter's feet down, "A 24-year-old girl and still no sign of being an adult?"
"Well, what am I supposed to do then?"
Jiang's mother was at her wit's end with her daughter and asked Jiang Xinyi what her plan was.
Jiang Xinyi said what else could I do.
I don't like it when others keep things from me, it feels weird.
"You gave me ten thousand, and I'll go settle his account. Just explain the situation to him clearly," Jiang Xinyi said.
"How could you have taken so much money from someone?" Jiang's mother was very displeased.
Jiang Xinyi said, well, I didn't ask for it; he insisted on buying makeup for me, and it's makeup I don't even need.
"I'm helpless too, okay."
After Jiang's mother understood the whole story, she sighed deeply and eventually gave her daughter ten thousand yuan, "Really ten thousand?"
"You're not trying to skim a little, are you?"
"Oh, how can you not trust even your own daughter?"
Jiang Xinyi was speechless and, without waiting for Jiang's mother to finish counting the money, she snatched a handful.
And then, with the money in hand, she turned and left.
From behind her, Jiang's mother called out, "You finally come home for once and don't even stay for a meal with your grandma."
Jiang Xinyi waved her hand dismissively, saying sorry, I've got things to do.
"You should quit that job of yours too. Making just a thousand a month, what's so exciting about that?" Jiang's mother called out with an extended neck.
And Jiang Xinyi said, I refuse.
"I find it quite interesting!" Newest update provided by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"How could it be interesting?"
Jiang's mother couldn't see the appeal.
This afternoon, the second class of Landscape Engineering had organized for the whole class to go watch a movie. In the afternoons, the cinema is usually pretty empty, and even though it's not a private screening, it's almost the same thing.
For crowded places , Zheng Yanyan would always dress up prettily, especially since Lu Lin said she'd bring her boyfriend along, Zheng Yanyan naturally dressed up even more.
She not only got her hair redone with loose, wavy curls draped over her shoulders but also wore a red dress she'd never worn before, paired with a white Chanel bag.
Moreover, she donned a pair of five-centimeter sheepskin high heels, instantly setting herself apart from the college crowd.
When she arrived at the cinema, she really stunned everyone else there for a moment.
Her ears sparkled with a pair of shiny earrings.
All dressed up , she had fussed for nearly an hour at Zhou Yuwen's house, with him not even daring to kiss her.
He wanted to give her a peck, but she got angry, whining that it would smudge her makeup.
Zhou Yuwen teased, isn't makeup meant for me to see?
"It's different, okay? Okay, okay, I'll fuss over you tonight, be a good baby~," Zheng Yanyan cooed, puckering her lips and giving Zhou Yuwen a couple of kisses.
Girls are always such a hassle.
Chang Hao was at the cinema entrance checking off names, but when he saw Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan coming, he froze.
He knew Zheng Yanyan was pretty, but seeing her with makeup was a revelation of her real beauty, so stunning it was almost beyond belief.
The other classmates, beholding Zheng Yanyan in this state, were also stunned and didn't know what to say, regardless of their gender.
They discussed in hushed tones.
Is that Zhou Yuwen's girlfriend?
Isn't she too pretty?
The comments were made quietly, but Zheng Yanyan could hear them, and it made her feel wonderfully vain.
She remembered the night when Zhou Yuwen came back from his part-time job with Tao Tian; she'd been wanting to try this kind of mature look for a while.
And now that she was dressed ...
Sigh, many girls grow up with manga and TV shows, thinking they'll automatically become fair-skinned, beautiful, and leggy. But then they find out that even at university, they are still short and stout.
And yet some girls have already grown into the beauties seen on TV, inciting envy in others.
When Zheng Yanyan reached Chang Hao, he still hadn't snapped back to reality, until she asked, "Where's the ticket?"
Chang Hao finally handed over the ticket to Zheng Yanyan, who, pleased, called out to Zhou Yuwen, murmuring, "Hurry up, will you?"
Zhou Yuwen replied, "The movie hasn't started yet, why are you in such a rush?"
"Well, when we were at home, you were the one who was in a hurry. Now that we're here, why aren't you?" Zheng Yanyan pouted.
