Chapter 304: Scaring Her Away
Chapter 304: Scaring Her Away
As Jiang Xia spoke, what could Jiang Mu say in response? She was afraid that if she said another word, this ungrateful daughter would blame her for not being able to have children and say it was due to the pressure she put on her.
"Alright, if you don't want to listen, I won't say it again. You've all grown up, and now you have wings and don't listen to anyone! You've seen the Canton Fair and earned your money. Hurry up and go home! Isn't the house still under construction? It's not right to leave it all to the elders. Look at you, you're so tired that your face has turned pale. Stop working, you'll wear yourself out, and your father will worry!"
Jiang Xia felt helpless, unsure if it was because she had no parents in her previous life and no one to discipline her, but she wasn't used to Jiang Mu's strict parenting. She felt that Jiang Mu was being overly controlling, "Mom, Zhou Chenglei and I ordered ships at the shipyard, and we still owe them over a million. No matter how tired we are, we have to work hard to earn money. Everything is arranged at home, so don't worry!"
This was the truth. The two ships they had ordered previously added up to over a million.
They had only just made a deposit this time, and Director Zhou was kind enough not to rush them. However, the couple also needed to work hard to earn money and pay the deposit as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if they had the money to buy the shipyard's welfare housing but didn't pay the deposit, what would that look like?
Jiang Mu's eyes darkened when she heard that they owed the shipyard over a million.
They were incredibly bold!
How big of a fishing boat did they order, and how many boats did they order to owe over a million? Even the deposit for a million-dollar ship would be several hundred thousand, right?
Where did they get the money?
"You better not have... You must not do anything that would disappoint your father!"
This time, Jiang Mu was both angry and scared, and her body trembled slightly.
Jiang Xia was speechless, "Am I that kind of person? Even if I'm immature, would Zhou Chenglei do such a thing? We're just ordering ships, not having them given to us by the shipyard. If we can't pay the deposit on time, the shipyard won't give us the ships. That's why we need to work hard to earn money now. Otherwise, do you think I don't want to stay at home all day?"
Jiang Mu felt a little relieved when she thought of Zhou Chenglei's character, but she still couldn't help but give a warning, "That's the best way. You must not take advantage of things you shouldn't. Your father has always been upright and honorable. Don't let him lose his dignity in his old age!"
She didn't even have the mood to care whether Jiang Xia would go home or not! This ungrateful daughter was giving her a heart attack with her antics!
Over a million, they were crazy! Even if they sold her and Old Jiang, they couldn't fill this hole!
They were biting off more than they could chew. Why would someone let them order ships without having the money?
Just thinking about it made her scared! She had to call Old Jiang and tell him about this.
Jiang Xia's boldness was all because Old Jiang had spoiled her! From a young age, she had been given whatever she wanted, and now she was spoiled beyond control!
And Zhou Chenglei, she had seen it too, he also listened to Jiang Xia.
Just now, when she asked Zhou Chenglei to get a taxi, he even glanced at Jiang Xia! So this ship must have been ordered by Jiang Xia.
It was enough to scare someone to death!
How dare they order a ship worth over a million? They had caused such a huge mess!
It was enough to drive someone crazy!
It made her so angry!
How could they possibly earn over a million? Her textile factory couldn't even earn that much in a year!
This could be a trap; someone might be using Jiang Xia to target Old Jiang.
Old Jiang was at a critical juncture.
Jiang Xia successfully scared Jiang Mu away, and only then did she approach Zhou Chenglei.
As soon as Zhou Chenglei saw Jiang Mu walk away, he made his way towards Jiang Xia.
He took a step ahead and reached Jiang Xia's side, taking her hand and walking towards the roadside, "Don't worry about what Mom said, we'll live our own lives."
He guessed that Jiang Mu was probably urging them to have a child.
That thing wasn't reliable either, it would always break, and the previous ones were all scrapped, but Jiang Xia hadn't gotten pregnant, so he thought it was just a matter of fate.
Zhou Chenglei knew that both sets of parents hoped Jiang Xia would have a child soon, and a large part of the reason was because of the age difference between him and Jiang Xia.
It seemed like he needed to find time to communicate with both sets of parents to prevent them from putting pressure on Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia nodded, unaffected in the slightest, "I know."
The one who was upset and left wasn't her, Jiang Xia was now calm inside.
She hadn't done anything wrong, so she wouldn't worry about other people's mistakes.
As for having a child, she would leave it to fate. After all, even with contraceptive measures, unexpected situations could still occur in a married life.
This was normal, and Jiang Xia wouldn't insist on having a child at all costs.
She liked to follow plans, but she was also mentally prepared for unexpected situations.
In life, no plan was guaranteed to go exactly as intended.
The richness and diversity of life were made up of those unexpected events.
Anyway, with a plan in mind, she would calmly accept some unexpected situations.
Why live with so much anxiety? Jiang Mu always felt anxious.
Jiang Xia couldn't understand what she was anxious about!
Could it be that she had also been reborn? But that didn't make sense either. If Jiang Mu had been reborn, why didn't she stop Ye Xian and Jiang Dong from being together?
"The car is here," Zhou Chenglei hailed a taxi.
Jiang Xia didn't think further.
Zhou Chenglei escorted Jiang Xia into the car and headed back to the hotel for their appointment.
Dinner was at the Western Restaurant of Baiyun Hotel, and Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan were also there.
After introducing each other,
Jill specifically addressed her two friends, "Xia and Zhou are my friends from China. His family owns a fishing boat. Last time we went fishing in Huaguo, we used his family's boat. If you want to order aquatic products, you can ask them, they're very professional."
Jill was clearly introducing them to customers because their family was in the fishing business.
But Jill was really giving them too much credit; the small boat they had couldn't possibly catch enough fish for export.
Jiang Xia then recommended the aquatic products import and export company she had encountered when selling fish previously.
"Our fish was also sold to that aquatic products company last time. They will be participating in the Canton Fair, I'll take you there tomorrow to take a look and see if it's suitable for you."
Both of them expressed their gratitude. In fact, they had visited several aquatic products companies that day and signed contracts, but since Jill introduced them, they agreed to go and take a look. If it was suitable, they could expand their cooperation.
That's how their circle worked; they would share resources with each other, which helped maintain relationships and earn money suitable for each of them, after all, no one could earn all the money in the world.
Jill asked Jiang Xia, "Xia, what are some fun places in Suicheng? Emmy will be coming over in a few days, and she said she wants to go sightseeing."
Jill used a Huaguo term, "Yu Shan Wan Shui," as he had been learning Chinese recently.
Jiang Xia did know of a famous mountain in Suicheng, "Has Emmy been to Yunshan in Suicheng?"
Jill shook her head, "She's only been to Huaguo once, last time, and only went fishing with you guys."
Jiang Xia replied, "When is Emmy coming? I'll take her to visit Yunshan."
Even though she had to work as a translator, taking a day or two off to show them around was necessary.
Money couldn't be spent in a lifetime, and if others offered you a peach, you should at least return a plum.
After dinner, the four of them returned to their rooms, only to find someone waiting outside the door.
