Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 486: She Won’t Give Up

His gaze turned to Lin Chuxia’s feet again.

She was still wearing high heels.

Lin Chuxia didn’t care at all, "Stop wasting time, let’s hurry up, the mall is waiting."

Recently, their mall’s business has been booming, especially over the weekends.

Many trendy items were sold out.

Their stock included items from the south as well as nearby clothing factories. Wang Tianxue had a good eye, but compared to the southern goods, the local clothing styles were still lacking.

They were waiting for this batch of goods to inject some fresh blood.

"Okay," He Chenhui responded, seeing Liu Guoqiang working as usual, he didn’t speak further and started loading the merchandise swiftly.

By the time the truck reached the back door of the mall, Wang Tianxue was already waiting there.

Seeing the goods on the truck, she revealed a satisfied smile, "Not bad, now I can relax."

"You talked to Aunt Fang about this, how could she let you down?"

Soon after the mall opened, Wang Tianxue had called Aunt Fang to ask for some goods.

Then, she made another call a few days later.

After those two calls, given Aunt Fang’s fondness for Wang Tianxue, she would certainly not neglect this batch of goods.

Wang Tianxue smiled, instructing people to unload, then spoke to Lin Chuxia, "I checked the accounts yesterday. Apart from the payment we wired to Aunt Fang last time, there are still 16,000 yuan on our books. Once this batch of items sells, I plan to take another trip to the south. By then, the autumn wear should be available, and I’ll check out the styles."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Okay, do you need me to come along?"

"No need for that, I’m thinking of bringing Liu Na along. That girl is really capable, has a knack for business. I think taking her on another trip and, if future needs arise, letting her handle it alone next time would be good, with Aunt Fang watching over, nothing will go wrong."

Lin Chuxia thought for a moment and agreed, Liu Na was indeed capable.

"Bring one more person, Qin Jianjun. Jia Liang should be back in a couple of days from Rong City. Besides Houzi, there’s another person there from Xiyang Food Factory, Qin Wu. After finishing the business, you and Houzi can come back together."

Qin Jianjun had been wanting to go to the south for a while now, having mentioned it several times, and Qin Wu was also there.

A few days ago, Su Wensong called, Qin Wu was doing really well there.

Right now, their Xiyang’s beef sauce and chili sauce were gradually gaining a foothold in the Rong City market.

They couldn’t leave their office unmanned, so Qin Wu had decided to stay there temporarily until the market in Rong City stabilized, then they would send someone to take turns.

Lin Chuxia thought this arrangement was fine, and soon Hou Xiaobao could also be rotated back from there.

...

The next day, sure enough, Jia Liang returned from Rong City.

He went straight to report to Lin Chuxia almost without rest after getting off the train.

The work situation at their office was pretty much as Su Wensong had described over the phone, with Jia Liang providing more detail.

Ah Hua had become an official employee of their office, and Aunt Fang had introduced a couple of well-vetted individuals.

By the time he returned, the renovation of their office was completed and their staffing was no longer an issue.

"Alright, these matters can be reported anytime, you look exhausted. Go home and rest a bit, Aunt Jia has been missing you. Don’t worry about the meals, take a couple of days off. Come back to work once you’ve rested."

Lin Chuxia directly gave Jia Liang some time off.

Jia Liang grinned, "Okay, then I’ll head back first. Call me if you need anything, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chuxia nodded. After he left the room and some time passed, she saw through the office’s glass window that he had already reached downstairs.

However, the direction he took was not the way home, but the opposite direction.

Qin’s Restaurant, just past lunchtime, still had two tables of customers and most of the wait staff had started to relax.

Those who were free could now have their lunch.

Steamed buns were always plentiful, but eating them for a long period could get tiresome.

Today, the kitchen had prepared stewed green beans and steamed bread—take whatever you want to eat.

"Lele, what are you thinking about? The pork stewed with green beans today smells incredibly delicious. If you don’t head there soon, it’ll all be gone."

Gao Lele came back to reality and nodded at her colleague who was speaking, then also headed to the kitchen to get some food.

Before she entered the kitchen, she ran into Qin Juan coming out of it.

Suddenly changing direction, she followed Qin Juan to a table.

Qin Juan puzzledly asked, "Lele, why aren’t you eating?"

Gao Lele pursed her lips and finally asked, "Sister Juan, has Qin Jianjun been to your place recently? Is he not in Yan City?"

That day when she returned home, her mom told her not to go looking for that poor boy anymore and to give up on him, insisting that not only would her family never allow her to marry someone from outside the area, but also that the poor boy already knew he wasn’t worthy of her and had hidden away, so she would never see him again.

Only then did she learn that her parents knew about her feelings for Qin Jianjun and had gone to see him personally.

She had always known her parents disapproved of outsiders, especially since Jianjun’s family was from the countryside.

But deep down, she knew that Qin Jianjun was different. He was ambitious and capable, surely to be much stronger than many city folks in the future.

She didn’t know how to convince her parents, only that she loved the kind of man Qin Jianjun was.

She refused the matches her parents had found for her and even threatened to never marry if not for Qin Jianjun, but she never anticipated that her parents would have gone to Qin Jianjun personally.

In that moment, she felt extremely mortified.

Qin Jianjun didn’t even know her feelings, yet her parents had approached him like that.

What would Jianjun think of her parents, or of her?

She really wanted to explain to Qin Jianjun in person, but Gao Lele had discovered she couldn’t find him anymore.

She had gone to the Huamei Mall several times, trying to find him after work to no avail, so she tried during work hours, but still couldn’t find him.

She realized that Qin Jianjun was avoiding her.

Just like her mother said, he would never meet her again, but not for the reasons her mother believed.

She wanted to explain things clearly to him. Even if Qin Jianjun truly didn’t like her, it should be her place to clarify, not her parents...

She couldn’t give up.

Hearing this, Qin Juan put down her utensils.

Gao Lele’s parents visiting Qin Jianjun at the mall had been mentioned to her by Lin Chuxia.

Being Qin Jianjun’s aunt, Qin Juan was furious when she heard about it.

Their family’s kids were all decent, and as his aunt, she knew too well whatever was going on between Qin Jianjun and Gao Lele.

They were doing nothing wrong, yet they had people barging in, publicly shaming them in front of colleagues.

Looking down on country folk, looking down on farmers—who really is nobler than whom?

Qin Juan even recalled Zhang Wenbin’s family, who also looked down on country people, yet when they were in desperate need to find a wife for their son, they shamelessly came to the Qin Family asking to marry her. When city people had no land or food, they relied on her rural parents-in-law for aid, but as soon as their fortunes turned, they reverted to despising country people.
