Chapter 222: Chapter 223 Love at First Sight

Xu Qingqing was already in a rush, so she walked much faster than usual, and preoccupied with her thoughts, she didn’t watch where she was going.

She collided with Secretary Yang who was standing there wiping his sweat. Full of anger and ready to erupt, she had started to speak when she looked up and saw a man dressed impressively, wearing glasses.

He looked refined, like a man from a big city, and just like that, her anger subsided, replaced by a bit of confusion, “You’re not from our village, are you?

Are you here looking for someone in our village? Who are you looking for? I’m from Xujia Village; I can help you.”

Secretary Yang, looking at Xu Qingqing who resembled the Xu Family, guessed that she might be a relative of the Xus, so he didn’t make an issue of the girl’s previous rudeness.

Instead, he smiled very amiably and said, “No need, I have already spoken to Captain Xu.

I’m really sorry for bumping into you just now; I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Xu Qingqing hadn’t recovered when Secretary Yang had already walked to his car and gotten in.

As Xu Qingqing watched the car drive away, she belatedly realized that the man must have been the secretary to the textile factory manager.

Aren’t secretaries supposed to be older? The man she just saw looked only a bit over 20, around her age.

Thinking of the man’s appearance, Xu Qingqing blushed, a dreamy look crossing her face. That man, just like Dong Wenzhong, was refined and exuded an air of scholarly family.

Most importantly, the man was the manager’s secretary, surely earning a good salary every month.

Plus, he was polite; she had scolded him, and yet he had still been so courteous. Could he be interested in her?

The thought made Xu Qingqing flush with heat.

If she were with the manager’s secretary, why would she need to work anymore?

Xu Qingqing, in broad daylight, began to daydream about becoming a city dweller, eating meat and buying clothes every day.

“Xu Qingqing, are you sick or something, giggling like a fool?” Xu Jingjing, spotting her cousin, never had a good temper around her—no skills, but cunning, always looking down on others.

The two of them had always been at odds, quarreling whenever they met.

“It’s none of your business. Oh, and cousin, after the New Year, I’m getting married to Dong Wenzhong. You and Yingying must come!

Although Yingying was quite fond of Wen Zhong and did some foolish things, it’s okay, I don’t mind.

Ah, cousin, I’m getting married before you; you’re not mad, are you? I’m so sorry!” Xu Qingqing covered her mouth and apologized, but her eyes were brimming with naked mockery.

No matter how splendid Xu Ying seemed now, who in the village didn’t know how desperately she loved Dong Wenzhong, and now, this man chose not her, but Xu Qingqing.

That was enough proof that Xu Qingqing was better than Xu Ying.

While belittling Xu Ying, Xu Qingqing didn’t forget to scorn her own cousin, Xu Jingjing. After all, since last year, Xu Jingjing had been on many blind dates without any success.

Now she didn’t even have a boyfriend and might end up an old maid in a few years, unable to get married.

Xu Jingjing, stung by the direct hit, trembled with rage and yelled, “Only you would pick up someone’s leftovers. Dong Wenzhong is someone my sister didn’t even want; I can’t believe you picked him up.

And you aren’t even put off by it; Dong Wenzhong is just an educated youth sent to the countryside, who knows when he will return. Moreover, he’s incapable of physical labor; you might as well start preparing for poverty relief.

Our Yingying, however, is planning to marry a city man, planning to have a good life then.”

“You~ Xu Jingjing, you old maid who can’t get married!” Xu Qingqing cursed loudly.

Xu Jingjing didn’t expect her to call her an old maid, and her face immediately turned livid with anger. With a shriek, she rushed toward Xu Qingqing, “Ah, you crazy woman, it’s you who’s the old maid who can’t get married!”

“You’re just an old maid no one wants. Otherwise, why are you still unmarried after all those matchmaking attempts?” Xu Qingqing chose the meanest words to hurl.

Xu Jingjing couldn’t take it anymore. She was taller and stronger than Xu Qingqing and tackled her to the ground, scratching her face, “I’ll teach you to shut your foul mouth!”

“Cousin, we’re coming to help you!” Xu Bai shouted as he rushed over, with Xu Xue close behind. One held down one of Xu Qingqing’s legs, and the other held an arm, preventing her from fighting back.

Xu Jingjing slapped Xu Qingqing’s face a few times, “Who’s the old maid, huh? Who can’t get married?”

Xu Qingqing’s face swelled up from the hits, and she began to cry pitifully.

Secretary Yang arrived just in time to witness the scene. He had just driven away, thinking Xujia Village might have a telephone, planning to ask for it and also check on the girl.

He didn’t expect to see such a ferocious scene, and it made his legs go weak.

“It’s me, it’s me, I was wrong, cousin, please let me go, wuu wuu wuu~” Xu Qingqing sobbed in pain, wishing she had never provoked Xu Jingjing, knowing her fierce temper.

Xu Jingjing, pleased with this apology, dusted off her hands and stood up from Xu Qingqing, only to spot Secretary Yang nearby.

She felt unexpectedly guilty and declared righteously, “What are you looking at? She’s our family member, just a bit ignorant. I was just teaching her a lesson.”

Secretary Yang nodded.

Upon seeing it was the man from earlier, Xu Qingqing suddenly saw him as a savior, quickly rising from the ground with a tearful, delicate expression, and approached Secretary Yang, “Wuu wuu wuu, it’s not like she said. I didn’t even bother her and she, along with her sister, started beating me up, wuu wuu wuu~”

Xu Qingqing thought she would get some sympathy, but little did she know, Secretary Yang’s heart had already been captured by Xu Jingjing. In the eyes of a lover, even the faults appear charming, and he firmly believed Xu Jingjing had her reasons for hitting someone.

He felt no sympathy for Xu Qingqing. Instead, he gathered his courage, his face flushed, and walked toward Xu Jingjing, “Hello, my name is Yang Jun, I work at the textile factory. Can we get to know each other?”

Xu Qingqing was dumbfounded, watching the scene with jealousy warping her face.

Xu Jingjing was also momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure, feeling nervous. Could it be that he liked her just from seeing her once?

Pah, pah, pah, Xu Jingjing, why are you so vain?

She quickly shook her head, dismissing those thoughts, and with a polite smile on her face, she said, “My name is Xu Jingjing. Didn’t you just visit my uncle? What brings you here now?”

Secretary Yang then remembered his initial purpose and hurriedly said, “I wanted to ask for the telephone number of the Xujia Village workshop, so the factory can contact you directly if there’s anything.”

Xujia Village had only one telephone, and when it was installed, it was the talk of the entire village. Everyone could recite not just the phone number but all the numbers on the phone.

Xu Jingjing quickly gave him the phone number.

Secretary Yang still lingered, then timidly asked, “Do you have a partner?”

Xu Jingjing shook her head, and seeing this, Secretary Yang’s face broke into an excited smile. He cheerfully got into his car and drove away.
