The Tender Beauty is Sweetly Doted in the 20th Century Novel!-Chapter 187 - 186: She Seems to Have Mental Problems, Let’s Ignore Her
Jiang Yuan was crying so hard, Cheng Yuan couldn’t hold back either, tears streaming down, unable to speak a word.
Ye Manman’s nose tingled, and she couldn’t help but shed tears.
"Alright, alright, if you keep crying, you’ll all have goldfish eyes tomorrow, with swollen eyes like light bulbs. You’re not allowed to cry anymore, it’s not like we won’t be back in the future, seriously."
She was not good at dealing with such situations because Ye Manman had never had friends like this before and no one had ever cried over her going far away.
Watching the three girls repeatedly saying "don’t cry" while wiping their tears, several men looked at each other, forming two extremes for a moment.
The girls had a lot to say, it seemed endless.
But on the guys’ side, Liu Jitong only spoke a few grateful words to He Chen, then he and the Jiang brothers each pounded their fists lightly on He Chen’s chest.
"Take care of yourself, take good care of Manman, we’re waiting for news of your great success."
He Chen responded with an "uh-huh," said "I will," and then fell silent again.
It seemed like the men really didn’t have much to say, and since they weren’t drinking, they fell back into silence once the words were said.
Luckily, their attention was all on the girls nearby, so it didn’t feel awkward.
Jiang Yuan cried especially hard, as she was the only one staying in the town. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Liu Jitong felt heartbroken but helpless.
He had participated in the first college entrance examination, and now there’s no chance to go to school; even taking Jiang Yuan to Jing City was not an option. After all, Liu Family Farm had already expanded, and he was completely rooted in the town.
That night, they all gathered together for a meal, and it was only after Ye Manman coaxed the three girls that they reluctantly parted.
Early the next morning, He Chen packed all the luggage to take with him. Ye Manman wanted to help carry some small things, but He Chen adamantly refused.
However, before they could leave, the landlord unexpectedly brought someone over to see the house.
And the person, quite coincidentally, was none other than Ye Xiaotong, who they hadn’t seen in a while.
She was dressed in new clothes today. Although her figure was still a bit plump, her facial acne had mostly cleared up, leaving only some scars. She looked much more spirited than before.
Ye Manman hadn’t noticed when Xiaotong had her baby, so she was puzzled to see Ye Xiaotong’s flat stomach.
But what was Ye Xiaotong here for?
Was she planning to start a business?
The landlord didn’t seem to expect them to move out so early, "Huh? Weren’t you moving on the 20th? I thought you were still living here today and wanted to bring someone to see the house. This woman is here to look at the house today."
He pointed to Ye Xiaotong, "Women these days are truly remarkable, starting to do business on their own. Times have really changed."
The landlord was quite emotional, unintentionally complimenting Ye Xiaotong, whose face immediately lit up with a confident smile.
"Oh, not at all, just have some spare money. I’m at home bringing up kids anyway, might as well do some business and earn some money for baby formula."
The landlord nodded repeatedly.
In the landlord’s eyes, whoever pays is the boss, and he could praise her till she was satisfied, as long as she rented the house.
But Ye Xiaotong didn’t know this, she personally thought the landlord was absolutely right. She saw herself as a modern woman, independent and strong, a hundred times better than Ye Manman, who only knew how to study endlessly!
"Let’s go."
Ye Manman didn’t want to have any dealings with Ye Xiaotong, nor did she want to continue looking at her stupid, ignorant face.
Ye Xiaotong wore everything on her face; as soon as her life had any upswing, she got smug and carried away. This kind of attitude in business, she’d soon lose everything and not even recognize her own mother.
But saying this, Ye Xiaotong definitely wouldn’t listen, instead, she’d accuse her of being jealous, and Ye Manman saw no point in inviting frustration.
He Chen picked up the luggage, said goodbye to the landlord, and then prepared to take her to the station.
Yet, Ye Xiaotong’s tone was sarcastic, "Oh, planning to go to Jing City, huh? To Qing University? Who knows how many years of studying will actually earn you any money, you might still end up working for others..."
With that, she turned and followed the landlord inside to inspect the shop.
Ye Manman could only find it laughable.
He Chen, with a backpack and hands full of large parcels, had no hands to hold Ye Manman, but he really couldn’t help but comment.
"I think she’s got some mental issues."
"Let’s not pay attention to her."
Ye Manman nodded, "Isn’t the rent for this place rising now?"
Their spot had a great location with heavy foot traffic, and with more people getting into business, the landlord was eager for them to leave.
The landlord’s happy face earlier indicated that the rent must have shot up quite a bit.
He Chen turned to glance back and whispered, "Yes, it has gone up a lot, doubled even."
Ye Manman laughed out loud hearing this.
"Impressive, didn’t expect the landlord to be so greedy."
He Chen shook his head, "At this location, the price is expected, and with Ye Xiaotong’s attitude, the landlord might even hike it further."
They chatted and laughed as they walked a few steps, when suddenly the sound of bicycle bells rang behind them.
"Hey! He Chen! Moving out so early? Didn’t we agree to see you off today?"
Before the words were fully spoken, three bikes halted in front of them.
Jiang Tianrui and his brother, along with Liu Jitong, came with nothing but ropes in their bicycle baskets.
Liu Jitong stopped and said directly, "He Chen, you really weren’t being considerate, almost made us miss you. Lucky we came early; you go ride and take Manman, we’ll load the luggage onto their bikes."
Jiang Tianrui and Jiang Tiancheng quickly came over and took the heavy luggage off He Chen, wordlessly strapping it onto their bikes.
He Chen stood there holding the bicycle, a little helpless.
"Wasn’t it because Manman was worried you’d bring Jiang Yuan, and she’d end up crying at the station, all upset."
They really intended to leave early to avoid the goodbyes and crying at the station, making everyone feel miserable. It was better not to do it; they could send a letter once they reached Jing City.
But neither He Chen nor Ye Manman anticipated that these guys would anticipate their anticipation and come over early with their bikes.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan and the girls didn’t come.
Ye Manman breathed a sigh of relief and got on the bike.
The cushion on the back was the same one He Chen had secured earlier. Since they were leaving and couldn’t bring the bike, He Chen sold it cheaply to Liu Jitong.
One bike wasn’t enough for all their luggage, so Liu Jitong stayed back while Jiang Tiancheng and Jiang Tianrui took them and their luggage to the station.
Once they dropped them off, Jiang Tianrui could come back to pick up Liu Jitong and bring the bike back.
The men discussed and divided the tasks swiftly, getting them to the station before the sun became too harsh.
After Jiang Tianrui and the others left, there was still quite some time before the departure.
He Chen, worried Ye Manman might get bored or hungry, had lots of candies and snacks tucked away.
Seeing her looking a bit bored, he suddenly opened his jacket.
"Ta-da, look!"
