Chapter 165: Chapter 0165: Completion of the New House 1_1

New House Completion 1

Feng Qingxue thought to herself, if her obedient younger sister absconded with all of her savings, she would also show no mercy to her sister when she returned home. Listening to Wang Jiao, it seemed the money and items she had taken were missing.

Did she get beaten? Was she robbed?

There was no other explanation.

It also made people feel like Wang Jiao had pretended to lose her memory to escape her parents’ blame for losing or hiding the items.

Not many people believed Wang Jiao’s words, which is why it’s no surprise that Miao Fengqin kept questioning her daughter about the whereabouts of the items.

Including Feng Qingxue among those who didn’t believe. But she continued to chat with Wang Jiao unperturbed, their conversation wandering randomly from one topic to the next, leading Wang Jiao by the nose. Wang Jiao answered whatever Feng Qingxue asked. Her speech and behavior were trendy, without the sense of incongruity that Qingxue noticed when she saw her last time.

Yes, incongruity.

Feng Qingxue had noticed something off about Wang Jiao early on but didn’t have time to delve deeper.

Now, by understanding her microexpressions, Feng Qingxue could indeed confirm that Wang Jiao wasn’t lying about her injury and memory loss. It was just like a book missing a few pages in the middle, unconnected before and after.

Wang Jiao, who had been having a sour relationship with her mother lately, complained to Feng Qingxue, "I tell you, Qingxue, I’m at a loss. I went out once, and when I came back, I had a boyfriend, the butcher Zhang Yuejin. My mom constantly gives me a hard time, I’ve had some boiled eggs and a bowl of brown sugar tea, she scolded me and even complained to my dad. Also, she keeps asking me about some items, what items would I know? When I ask her, she stammers and doesn’t say what it is."

"What do you think about your engagement to Zhang Yuejin? Did Zhang Yuejin come to see you during the time you were injured?" Feng Qingxue realized she had no objections to her own wedding with Zhang Yuejin.

Wang Jiao excitedly said, "Of course I’m happy! Only a fool would be unhappy. Zhang Yuejin is a renowned butcher in the city - I definitely won’t lack goodies in the future. Consider this, he sells meat and many people want favors from him, those who can are all powerful. Even a sales clerk has some scarce goods in their hands. As for whether Zhang Yuejin came to see me, he’s been here several times. He brought a pound of eggs the first time, a packet of brown sugar the second time and bought me a silk scarf the third time, it’s so beautiful! I’ll show you."

Saying this, Wang Jiao jumped off the bed, put on her slippers, opened the wardrobe, and brought out a large semi-transparent red silk scarf. She folded it and tied it around her neck for Feng Qingxue, "Is it beautiful?"

"Beautiful." Feng Qingxue nodded.

It really was beautiful, not just a compliment.

The scarf was beautiful, and the person was also gorgeous.

Wang Jiao had a melon-shaped face and willow leaf eyebrows, with a thin fringe. Although her messy look seemed a bit sloppy, it couldn’t conceal her natural beauty. With the red scarf on, her face looked rosy, making her look even more charming.

People tend to judge a book by its cover, so it wasn’t surprising that Zhang Yuejin was so devoted to her.

"If you like it, next time ask Lu Jiang to buy you one. He was in the military, he can surely afford it." After showing off, Wang Jiao carefully folded the scarf and put it back in the wardrobe. She sat back on the bed to continue eating sunflower seeds. She finally seemed to remember that Feng Qingxue was a guest, hurriedly grabbed a handful of seeds, and stuffed them into Feng Qingxue’s hand, "Qingxue, you eat too. These are our own homegrown sunflower seeds, roasted by my sister-in-law, they are delicious."
