Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Jumping into the River (Late Night)

Tang Yue pursed her lips. She didn’t have a good impression of Li Dabao, who had been talking since the beginning. His hair was dyed yellow, styled in a non-mainstream way, and his clothes seemed like they were about to fall off.

Since entering the room, Luo Juan had barely spoken, just listening to Li Dabao ranting.

"May I ask, this is..." Tang Yue looked curiously at Luo Juan.

"I’m her significant other," Li Dabao said proudly.

Luo Juan nodded.

With a smile on her face, Tang Yue said, "This advertisement will be broadcasted on national television. Your image is very good and fits our factory’s clothes very well. Are you sure you don’t want to try?"

Tang Yue still wanted to persuade Luo Juan.

Luo Juan looked embarrassedly at Tang Yue and said, "I’m really sorry."

"No matter the amount, you don’t want to give it a try?" Tang Yue asked again.

Luo Juan nodded affirmatively.

Li Dabao stood on the side, nodding his head repeatedly with a grin on his face, a proud and satisfied expression on his brows.

Tang Yue calmed down, stopped Tang Jun who was about to speak, and stood up, saying, "Sorry for the disturbance."

After speaking, Tang Yue left with Tang Jun. During this time, she didn’t show any signs of unhappiness due to Luo Juan’s change of mind, her lips even maintaining a faint smile.

Luo Juan watched her leaving figure for a long while, unable to snap back to reality.

Li Dabao put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "What’s wrong, regretting it?"

"No," Luo Juan shook her head and softly said, "It’s just that Tang Yue is quite different. The clothes were ready, and now I’m not going to shoot, what about the clothes..."

"That’s all about the clothes, it has nothing to do with you," Li Dabao interrupted her, beginning to talk about marriage.

Luo Juan’s attention was suddenly drawn elsewhere.

"Sis, they went too far. How can they just change their minds like that?" Tang Jun was fuming. In the barbershop just now, if Tang Yue hadn’t held him back, he would have really wanted to argue.

What kind of people are these, saying words that might as well be flatulence.

"We didn’t sign a contract, it was just a verbal agreement. Even if they want to back out, what can you do, eat them?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, amused to see Tang Jun’s infuriated face.

"But... that shouldn’t be allowed." Tang Jun wanted to retort but couldn’t find the words, feeling like punching cotton, which made him even more frustrated.

"There, there," Tang Yue comforted him. Seeing a vendor selling candied hawthorns nearby, she bought two sticks and handed one to Tang Jun, saying, "Here, a treat from your sister."

"This thing is sour and sweet, what’s good about it?"

Tang Jun complained but reached out to take the candied hawthorn from Tang Yue’s hand.

Tang Yue loved these sour and sweet treats. A breeze blew by, spring seemed to revive everything, and the weather was good today. Tang Yue said, "Xiao Jun, let’s walk back home along the river today."

"Okay," Tang Jun never said no to Tang Yue’s suggestions.

Tang Yue quickly finished her candied hawthorn, licked her sweet lips, enjoying the sour and sweet taste, which was just right for her.

"Sis, is this thing really that tasty?" Tang Jun, who gobbled his down, only felt the persistent sour-sweet taste.

Tang Yue: "I shouldn’t have given you any if I had known."

What a waste of these delicious candied hawthorns.

Tang Jun looked grievously at Tang Yue: "Sis, I don’t want any next time either."

Tang Yue: ...

She simply ignored Tang Jun. The riverbank today isn’t like in the future, with large stones and guardrails built; now, it’s just a big lawn, sloping down, and only a dirt path by the riverbank, but the path is dry since the weather is nice.

Walking along, Tang Yue felt this river seemed very familiar, and she always had a feeling that she had forgotten something, but she just couldn’t remember what it was.

Tang Jun thought Tang Yue was pondering over something again. He silently followed behind her, occasionally glaring at men who were looking at Tang Yue.

"What could it be?" Tang Yue wondered as she walked, admiring the beautiful sunset that dyed half of the sky red, as if adding a dazzling red hue to the entire Wangjiang County.

Tang Jun, following behind, thought about how beautiful his sister was and resolved to protect her well, to prevent her from getting hurt.

There on the riverbank lawn, a woman in red caught his attention. Tang Jun said, "Sis, look, that red coat is the one you made!"

Mingyue Clothing Factory’s clothes sold very well, and the business at Mingyue Clothing Store was indeed booming, with substantial profits each month. The red coat worn by the woman was exactly the one Tang Yue liked; Tang Yue was even wearing that coat today.

Tang Yue followed his gaze, and indeed, the woman’s clothes were the same as hers.

She just sat on the lawn. Tang Yue pursed her lips and said, "I made many of these coats, it’s normal for others to wear the same ones."

Tang Yue answered this way and didn’t find it strange. On the streets, it was common to see others wearing the clothes she made.

"Wait a second." After passing the woman, Tang Yue caught a glimpse of the woman’s profile, which seemed very familiar.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she hurried toward the woman sitting on the lawn.

"Sis." Tang Jun hadn’t realized what Tang Yue was about to do and hurriedly followed her.

The woman in red seemed immersed in her own world, completely unaware of what was happening behind her. Suddenly, the woman stood up, her lips tightly pressed together, her eyes bearing a resolve to face death.

"Wait." Tang Yue shouted towards the woman in red.

The woman in red didn’t even turn her head, and though she was wearing a padded jacket, her figure, in the wind, still seemed very frail, as if a breeze could knock her over.

Tang Yue became even more anxious, fearing the woman in red would jump into the water, and ran even faster.

The woman in red stumbled, and Tang Yue seized the opportunity to grab her wrist. Instead of jumping into the river, the woman was pulled down onto the lawn by the river.

"Death isn’t the end; you still have relatives, you still have parents, right?" Tang Yue rapidly spoke.

Seeing the woman again, Tang Yue felt an indescribable connection.

In her past life, she had saved her, and after staying too long in the icy river, she contracted a condition known as ’uterine coldness’ and was unable to have a child.

Because of this, Tang Yue was often scolded by Wu Xinming’s mother. She felt sad but never regretful.

Compared to not having children herself, she at least saved someone else’s life.

The moment she grabbed the woman in red, she breathed a sigh of relief; this life, she really wanted to have children with Mo Siyu.
