Chapter 8
Colder Than Before
An enraged bellow rang out from behind her, “That girl! She’s getting increasingly improper!”
Then there was Zhong Hui’s gentle voice appeasing him, “Jianmin, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”
Wen Qiao smiled and shook her head. The sun was blazing outside and the Wen family’s garden was truly beautiful and exquisite. Her eyes were drawn to a long path of Chinese wisteria. In the past, she liked to play here. But thereafter, the owner of this place changed and each time she came, they would always part ways unhappily in the end. As time passed, she stopped coming.
What was the point?
This time was probably the last time.
Footsteps rang out from behind her. She turned and saw that Xu Lu had come chasing after her, calling her and panting heavily.
“Wen Qiao.”
Wen Qiao crossed her arms and looked at this ‘Miss White Lotus’ without saying anything.
“Is something the matter?”
Xu Lu handed over a card. “Wen Qiao, there’s 5000 here. Take it.”
Wen Qiao didn’t receive the card. She raised her brows at the other girl. “What do you mean by this?”
“I feel that you shouldn’t talk to Uncle Wen like that, he is an elder after all. Moreover, you’re already grown up. Surely you can rely on your own hands to earn money. Take this 5000 and tide over a little, you’ve graduated from high school after all. Go out and find a job. I trust that you’re an independent person and don’t have to rely on other people.”
Did she even know what she was saying? Wen Qiao was about to burst out laughing from anger.
In her previous life, she had believed this Miss White Lotus’s brainwash to the point that she came to believe that one must have pride. If her trashy dad didn’t give them money, then she wouldn’t ask for it. Because of that, she gave up on the opportunity to pursue university studies and worked as a singer at a pub. She was so foolish that she felt like opening up her own head to check why was she so foolish in her previous life.
In this life, this Miss White Lotus words remained the same.
She smiled. “Where did you get this 5000 from?”
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t your money given to you by my dad? If even an outsider of another surname like you can use my dad’s money, then surely as his blood-related daughter, and Wen Chi and Wen Mo being his blood-related sons, it would be even more justified for us to use his money, no? What is with the talk about pride? If we’re talking about having pride and becoming independent, then it should be you, Xu Lu, who should refuse to spend my dad’s money.”
Having been called out, Xu Lu looked aggrieved. “Wen Qiao, I’m saying this for your own good, but why have you suddenly become so hostile? You’ve changed.”
Wen Qiao patted her shoulder. “Just take care of yourself and don’t tell people what they should be doing. Don’t try to act all nice in front of me either. Understand?”
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xu Lu was so angry that she stomped her foot. “Unappreciative of other’s good intentions.”
…
The cooling summer breeze blew as the scorching summer hid behind the Chinese parasol trees. After passing through the green path, Wen Qiao got out of the car and stood in front of the hospital, holding onto a phone.
It was Fu Nanli’s phone.
After she reincarnated, she automatically unlocked some skills that she didn’t have in her previous life. Somehow, she was now a computer expert. She added some chat history to both hers and Fu Nanli’s phone so that she wouldn’t be exposed.
While heading for his ward, she browsed through the records of her added WeChat history to ensure that there weren’t any loopholes.
Two airline staff wearing uniforms stood outside the ward. The man was tall, and judging from his uniform, he should be a co-pilot. The lady’s makeup and hair were all in place and she was wearing three-centimeter tall heels and was standing upright. Wen Qiao guessed that she should be an air stewardess.
“I’ve been his co-pilot for three years, but he just forgot about me just like that,” the man said emotionally.
The lady patted his shoulder, sighing, “I’ve worked as the Chief Stewardess under him for four years and he didn’t recognize me either. Don’t be sad.”
“Captain seems colder than before. In the past three years, I’ve put in relentless hard work and finally managed to be able to make a few jokes every now and then. Suddenly, everything is returned to the initial state. Sigh.”
“The Aviation Administration’s Director has come and he’ll be conducting a test for Captain. Let’s go in quickly.”
