The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(35)

 Chapter 35: Really Want to See Him

Xia Changli nodded at Jiang Chenchen's words, her tone low, "Mr. Sheng already has an unmarried fiancée, we can't stay here."

Jiang Chenchen lowered her eyes. Was she going to be homeless again?

But he had clearly said that they could be together as long as she studied well. Was that a lie?

Seeing this, Song Xiyu added, "As long as you leave today, I won't hold a grudge for what you did to me!"

The situation had come to this point.

Jiang Chenchen was used to going with the flow, going wherever without much concern. But why did it still hurt so much?

She really wanted to see him.

"Chenchen, don't worry. Come stay with me; you have me."

Although Xia Changli lived in a rundown rental apartment, it was still a place to stay. When you have friends, living together becomes a home.

Jiang Chenchen didn't have much to take with her. She had already eaten the ice cream in the fridge, and the two small snowmen on the balcony had melted.

The sun was shining outside.

They left together.

Xia Changli's place was in an old building, up to the seventh floor with no elevator or security. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and bathroom. She had been living in the accommodation provided by Mr. Sheng for some time, and her home was full of dust.

"Chenchen, I've been living here for about ten years."

From her mother's serious illness to becoming a vegetable, the family spent all their savings, and they had to sell the house.

She could only afford to rent a place like this.

Although her mother was gone, there were still many debts to be repaid, and she had to live here, unable to take a moment to catch her breath.

"Do you find this place uncomfortable?"

Jiang Chenchen shook her head and held her hand, walking in.

She thought of the things Xia Changli had said, the many years of unspeakable words hidden within her. Living such a difficult and sorrowful life alone, bearing the heavy burden of taking care of her mother.

Now she was alone, still burdened with debts, but she had brought someone who had nowhere to go here.

How could she be picky?

In this dim and narrow room, Jiang Chenchen said to her, "I will make money."

Apart from the hundred yuan Li's son gave her to buy ice cream, she had no money left.

But she knew that to live a good life, she had to have money.

Although her original goal was to be with Sheng Mingsi, now that she had a friend, her goal was to work together for a better life.

Xia Changli was grateful for her lack of disdain and burst into laughter at her sudden words.

"Study first, then make money. No matter what happened before, we'll work hard together for the future!"

"Okay."

The two of them tidied up the room, aired the bedding, and turned the dim and shabby little house into a warm home.

They worked until it was dark, and Xia Changli cooked hot pot. They sat on the carpet, eating slowly at the small dining table.

This little house hadn't seen such liveliness for a long time.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any alcohol at home. Next time, I'll buy some and bring it back."

Xia Changli's eyes were moistened by the hot pot steam, and she held back tears. "Today, you're heartbroken, and I lost my job. After eating this hot pot and sleeping, tomorrow I'll find a part-time job to make a living. Next year, I'll apply for a teaching position at a university."

Jiang Chenchen lifted her head from the bowl, "Heartbroken?"

Xia Changli felt it was time to face the inevitable and said straightforwardly, "Isn't it? Mr. Sheng is two-timing, and I really didn't expect it. But for a person with his status and good looks, it's inevitable that you would like him."

Jiang Chenchen thought for a moment and lowered her long lashes, "I like him."

Because of him, she discovered the beauty of the world. Snow was beautiful, flowers were beautiful, even children were cute, and friends were good.

Thinking that she could never see him again made her feel a bit sad.
