Chapter 225: Jiang Dong Protecting Her?
Chapter 225: Jiang Dong Protecting Her?
Jiang Dong was stunned by the sudden blow.
Although he had been beaten by his father since childhood, his father never hit his face, only his hands and legs.
Moreover, his father would often pretend to chase after him, shouting about breaking his legs, but never catching up.
Most of the time, it was all for show.
So, this little sapling, who had grown up in a greenhouse, was left dazed for a while, unable to snap out of it.
Zhang Fuyan was also shocked.
Jiang Dong's girlfriend was so fierce!
But was it right to hit someone without asking for clarification? Zhang Fuyan thought that Ye Xian had misunderstood her relationship with Jiang Dong, which was why she hit him and broke up with him.
She quickly caught up and stopped Ye Xian, "Classmate, did you misunderstand my relationship with Jiang Dong? I'm Jiang Xia's good friend, and my aunt and Xia Xia know each other. Since I knew something happened to Jiang Xia's family, and my family knows some people, I went back with Jiang Dong to help. I didn't help much, but instead, I troubled Jiang Dong and caused you to misunderstand. If it's because of me, then it's unnecessary! I have no relationship with Jiang Dong at all."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xian became even more certain that something serious had happened to Jiang's father. She had found out about Zhang Fuyan's background these past few days, and it was even more impressive than Jiang Dong's family. Yet, they couldn't help either.
It seemed that the situation with Jiang's father was beyond saving! Ye Xian coldly smiled, "What misunderstanding? Jiang Dong only told you about his family's issue and not me. He went back with you! That shows my place in his heart! And don't think I don't know that you two have been going out together. Jiang Dong even brings you meals every day! I don't want a man who dedicates himself to other women!"
After saying this, Ye Xian pretended to be angry and forcefully pushed Zhang Fuyan away, then ran off.
But before her hand even touched Zhang Fuyan, Jiang Dong grabbed it, "Calm down!"
Did she think she was right just because she hit someone without asking for clarification? Ye Xian was furious. Was Jiang Dong protecting her?
"Jiang Dong, you're being a hooligan! If you're not kind, don't blame me for being unkind!" Ye Xian angrily shook off Jiang Dong's hand and ran away.
Zhang Fuyan frowned, "You go and explain it to her."
Just as Jiang Dong was about to chase after Ye Xian, the taxi driver shouted, "Comrades! Your luggage!"
Zhang Fuyan quickly responded, "Coming!"
Then she hurried towards the taxi.
Jiang Dong, who had intended to chase after Ye Xian, heard the driver's shout. He glanced at Ye Xian's departing figure and then at the taxi.
They hadn't even paid the fare, and there were several bags of his sister's fish jerky in the taxi. He couldn't just let Zhang Fuyan handle it alone.
So, he ran back to the taxi and, together with Zhang Fuyan, unloaded the bags of fish jerky.
The driver had already taken the bag from the passenger seat.
After unloading everything, he started the car and drove off.
The station attendant lent them a two-wheeled handcart.
They placed a board on the cart, and Zhang Fuyan held it while Jiang Dong loaded the bags of fish jerky, securing them with a rope.
Jiang Dong belatedly asked, "Did you pay for the cart?"
"Yes, I later found ten yuan in the corner of my bag." Zhang Fuyan glanced at Jiang Dong's swollen face and felt a bit guilty, thinking that this slap and the cart fee were related. She said, "Your girlfriend misunderstood our relationship. Do you want me to go with you to explain to her?"
Jiang Dong paused, "No need."
He stopped for a moment and added, "Xiao Yan Jie, this has nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel guilty."
He had already explained that day, and his sister had also told her on the phone that Xiao Yan Jie was her friend. Xiao Yan Jie had also explained herself!
After explaining it three times, a normal person wouldn't be impulsive to the point of hitting and pushing someone repeatedly! The first time could be a misunderstanding, but hitting and even breaking up after explaining more than once—that's taking advantage of the situation!
So, Ye Xian's reason for breaking up wasn't a misunderstanding about his relationship with Zhang Fuyan.
She genuinely wanted to break up.
As for the reason, Jiang Dong thought of Jiang Xia's words.
Perhaps Jiang Dong didn't understand Ye Xian well enough, but he understood Jiang Xia.
His sister had never spoken ill of others or arbitrarily assumed the worst about their intentions.
The family's upbringing did not permit them to speak ill of others, especially not to spread rumors.
So, if his sister said something like that, it wouldn't be baseless.
She must have felt something and was cautiously reminding him.
Of course, whether his sister's intuition was right or not was another matter, after all, her feelings weren't always accurate!
Jiang Dong still felt that Jiang Xia's words were a bit far-fetched!
But his sister genuinely cared about him and wouldn't have any ill intentions or deliberately ruin his relationship.
Jiang Dong was also a bit annoyed at the moment, feeling tired and sleepy, his mind was in disarray, and he couldn't analyze the real reason why Ye Xian wanted to break up, so he didn't think further.
When one's thoughts are muddled and their mind isn't clear, they shouldn't jump to conclusions.
He and Zhang Fuyan delivered two bags of fish jerky to the cafeteria and then sent two large bags of baby fish to her dormitory, all ordered by her classmates.
Sister Xian was helping his sister sell the fish jerky.
Jiang Dong quickly left after sending Zhang Fuyan back to her dormitory.
He still wanted to find Ye Xian and get a clear explanation. This was his first relationship, and after treating someone so seriously, he felt a sense of injustice about the confusing breakup.
In the dormitory, Zhang Fuyan took out the baby fish from the snake-skin bag and distributed them to her roommates. Then she discovered a hidden envelope in the middle, with Jiang Dong's name written on it. She hurriedly chased after him and called out, "Jiang Dong, there's a letter here, it should be from your sister!"
The letter was thick, and his name was written on the envelope.
Jiang Dong took it, opened it, and found a thick stack of one yuan bills inside, about a thousand yuan, along with a stack of paper. He took it out and glanced at it.
Little Dong,
Surprised or not surprised? Expected or not expected?
This is money your brother-in-law insisted on giving you for pocket money. He said thank you for buying the camera, it's very useful! I said it wasn't necessary, but he insisted! If you feel embarrassed to accept it, when you earn big money in the future, double it and give it back to me, so I can save some private money. If you think double is too little, triple or quadruple is fine too, tenfold or a hundredfold would be even better! The more, the better!
...
The last sentence was signed off with a reminder to take care of oneself when living alone.
Jiang Dong smiled; his sister and brother-in-law were the best, always having money to spare.
He hadn't even mentioned that he was short on money, and his sister secretly gave him some.
It had always been like this since he was little!
Jiang Dong then thought about Ye Xian being unhappy when he bought things for his sister, and his smile faded a little.
He had already said that the things he bought for his sister couldn't compare to what she gave him.
When he bought something for his sister, Ye Xian was unhappy.
His sister asked Ye Xian to help buy something, and she wanted to break up.
If Ye Xian helped his sister buy something, would his sister mistreat her? Or was she afraid that his sister wouldn't give her money?
Even if his sister didn't give her money, would he mistreat her?
During their relationship, hadn't he bought things for Ye Xian? Wasn't the money always coming from him?
And part of his money was given by his sister and brother-in-law.
When he started school, they both gave him red envelopes. His sister gave three hundred, and his brother-in-law gave five hundred.
Now they gave him a thousand yuan! So much money could buy a lot of things.
Jiang Dong also thought about how even Sister Xian was working hard to help his sister sell fish jerky to make money.
Those few bags of things added up to over four hundred jin, and his sister said they could make four to five hundred yuan from selling them, but they had to split the profit with their partner.
It sounded like a lot of money, but he felt it was troublesome to carry these few hundred jin of fish jerky from the train station to school! He wished he could just throw them away!
But these few hundred jin of fish jerky were obtained by his sister and brother-in-law going out to sea from four to five in the morning, working until four to five in the afternoon before returning, and then staying up all night to process and dry the fish!
Those flavorful baby fish were fried, and he had to search for oil coupons to buy oil to make them.
Even just hearing about it made him feel troubled!
So, the stack of money in his hand was heavy, weighing a thousand jin!
It was the result of his sister's hard work, toiling for thirteen to fourteen hours a day! They knew he was taking a flight home and guessed that he didn't have much money, so they secretly gave him some!
Jiang Dong had originally wanted to find Ye Xian for an explanation, but at this moment, he suddenly felt it wasn't necessary to insist on one.
He decided to call his sister instead!
