Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 958: Chapter 959 This is My Partner

Chiang Xiao also went along.

As soon as she entered, a figure pounced toward her.

”Sister, I finally found you!”

Meng Xinian reached out a hand and blocked Ji Chunlai.

”Stand properly, and speak nicely!” Meng Xinian sternly reprimanded.

Ji Chunlai was startled by him and instinctively stood at attention. When he got a good look at him, he couldn’t help feeling a bit sour, ”Hey, buddy, you’re quite handsome!”

He still hadn’t found a partner yet, and wasn’t it because those girls disliked him for not being good-looking?

Really, he was just a little thin, a little short.

The man in front of him was really quite tall.

Ji Chunlai felt like he was a little shrimp who had encountered Prince Dragon.

”Pfft.” Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, ”He’s quite handsome, don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to him?”

At her words, both Meng Xinian and Ji Chunlai glared at her and spoke up at the same time.

”I like men, am I sick?!”

”Talk nonsense again and see what happens!”

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue.

Meng Xinian flicked her forehead, ”Stay here, I’m going to find Director Ye, and I’ll be back soon.”

Chiang Xiao nodded.

Once Meng Xinian walked away, Ji Chunlai couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, ”Sister, is he your brother?”

”My fiancé, my partner.”

If it had been before, Chiang Xiao might have simply nodded and said Meng Xinian was her brother, but now she was unwilling to do so.

Ji Chunlai stared at her in astonishment, ”How old are you? You’re engaged already!”

”Yeah, is it strange?” Chiang Xiao said, while taking out two hundred yuan and handing it over. Ji Chunlai initially reached out to take the money, but then hesitated and retracted his hand.

”Sister, this money, isn’t it too much?”

”Yes, two hundred. Although we agreed on one hundred, Guan Town is indeed dangerous, and I heard that the day before yesterday you also helped evacuate the wounded, so, I’m giving you an extra hundred as compensation.”

To her surprise, Ji Chunlai shook his head, ”What was agreed is what it is, I still have that much credibility. Besides, I knew the risks in Guan Town, and helping to evacuate the wounded was my own decision, you didn’t force me, so I won’t take extra money.”

Chiang Xiao suddenly felt that Ji Chunlai was quite a decent person.

He had his stances, his principles, he loved money, but he also had his own bottom line, not greedy.

She thought about the people in Peace Town and, after a moment of thought, she beckoned Ji Chunlai over to a corner for a talk. Ji Chunlai followed her to the corner with a suspicious look.

”Sister, what else do you want?”

”It’s like this, Ji Chunlai, do you want to earn a bit more money?”

Ji Chunlai looked at her as if she were a fool, ”Sister, isn’t that a silly question? Who wouldn’t want to earn money? Who wouldn’t take it?”

”What if this money comes with a bit of danger?”

Ji Chunlai immediately looked at her warily, ”Let’s get things straight first, sister, I absolutely won’t do anything illegal, I am a good person!”

Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes, ”It’s not illegal!”

”As long as it’s not illegal, then what’s the danger?”

”It involves following a few people; naturally, there’s danger if they discover you, because I’m not sure yet who those people are.”

”Tail them? So there’s no danger if I’m not discovered, right?”

”If you’re clever and sharp enough, that should do it.” Chiang Xiao nodded.

In fact, Chiang Xiao wasn’t even certain whether those people were good or bad. But her instincts weren’t great.

And she couldn’t possibly stay and watch over Peace Town indefinitely.
