Shen Yingxue's words gave Guo Zhao a wake-up call. He never expected that Shen Yingxue would leave, and it sounded like she would never come back again. How could he accept this?
"I...just don't come here again anyway!"
Shen Yingxue murmured, she still couldn't get over her own level. All her skills were taught by Jiang Miao, and Jiang Miao gave her the shop. Now Jiang Miao needed help, but she didn't want to help because of her little love for her daughter. .
The more Shen Yingxue thought about it, the more guilty she felt. Jiang Miao was her benefactor. She couldn't be an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, so now she could only feel sorry for Guo Zhao.
Anyway, the two of them were still in the stage of liking each other, and she had not explicitly promised him. Guo Zhao had good looks and good character, and he was also the head catcher in the county government. There must be many young ladies willing to marry him, and she alone divorced him. The woman is not worthy of his attention.
"I'll give this back to you."
Shen Yingxue took out the hairpin from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Guo Zhao's hand. Since she decided to break it, she broke it completely. She kept this hairpin with her all the time. She was so happy to receive the gift as if it was yesterday.
Now she wanted to cut off this relationship with her own hands. Shen Yingxue's hands couldn't stop shaking. She lowered her head, fearing that the man opposite would see the tears in her eyes.
A hairpin was suddenly thrust into Guo Zhao's hand. The sharpness of the hairpin stung the palm of his hand. Guo Zhao came out of his daze and stared blankly at the pearl hairpin in his hand.
The white and round bead shone in the sunlight. This beaded hairpin was personally selected by him, and with all his affection, it was now returned together.
"Are you saying...really?"
He held his hand tighter, and the hairpin in his hand seemed to be broken by him. Guo Zhao stared at Shen Yingxue closely, not wanting to miss the slightest look on her expression.
"yes."
Shen Yingxue's mouth was bitter. She twitched the corners of her lips and couldn't help but cheer herself up.
"My benefactor will marry a better girl in the future, so just forget about me."
A selfish person like her did not deserve happiness. Shen Yingxue couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. She pushed Guo Zhao out of the shop and closed the door tightly.
Guo Zhao was still immersed in her cruelty. His mind was now blank, and his whole body was as weak as if he had collapsed. He was actually pushed out of the door by Shen Yingxue.
"Yingxue..."
Guo Zhao looked at the closed door with eager eyes. He didn't believe that Shen Yingxue was really so cruel.
"You go, it's not good to stay here and be seen."
Shen Yingxue spoke with a tearful tone. The person she wanted to leave didn't need to be famous, but Guo Zhao was different. He still wanted to marry a wife and have children, and struggled with how he would look like when he was seen.
Guo Zhao wanted to say that he didn't care, but the passers-by on the street gradually looked over, with expressions of watching the excitement on their faces. Guo Zhao didn't want them to talk about Shen Yingxue behind his back, so he decided to leave.
"Then let me go. Please think about what I said today again. No matter where you are going, there will always be a solution. Don't make a decision so quickly, okay?"
When Shen Yingxue heard his humble plea to stay, she couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes. She cried so hard behind the door, how could there be any solution?
Although Zhenjiang Prefecture is not far from Furong Town, Guo Zhao is a member of the government and cannot leave Furong Town at will. It is completely impossible for them.
So after hearing Guo Zhao's words, Shen Yingxue didn't answer. She shouldn't give him any more hope and continue to delay him. It would be good for both of them to end it like this.
Guo Zhao waited for a long time without any response. He knew that Shen Yingxue was determined to sever the relationship between the two. He was anxious but couldn't do anything about her. There were more and more people watching the excitement around, and Guo Zhao couldn't do anything. If you continue to stay, you can only leave first.
Shen Yingxue cried for a while. When she heard there was no movement behind the door, she wiped away her tears and slowly opened the door. There was no one outside the door. There was only a beaded hairpin lying quietly by the door. She knelt down and picked it up, crying. And it overflowed unconsciously.
Why should he bother? He has to leave a thought about it even if it is cut off.
Guo Zhao went home in a daze. Mother Guo was relieved to see him empty-handed. He finally thought about not thinking about that little lady anymore, but she was still shocked when she saw his dark face.
"What's wrong with you? Something happened in the county office?"
Otherwise, Guo's mother couldn't figure out why he looked like this. Even when Guo Zhao was reprimanded by the county magistrate when he was just on duty, Guo Zhao was not so scary. His expression now looks angry and sad, and there was vulnerability hidden in his cold eyes. Guo Zhao My mother's sarcastic words just stuck in my throat.
"fine."
Without stopping, Guo Zhao walked past Guo's mother and entered the house, leaving Guo's mother alone in the courtyard. The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. Since the county government office was fine, why would he be like this?
Could it be?
Mother Guo thought about Shen Yingxue. He didn't buy any snacks today and he became depressed. Could it be because he had something to do with Mrs. Shen?
"Go to Jiang Ji and have a look. What happened to that little lady today?"
Although she felt that Guo Zhao was not worthy of Shen Yingxue, Mother Guo was still sad to see him frustrated. She only had a son, so how could she not wish him well.
"yes."
The maid Xiaocui got the master's order and hurried out of the door.
In the Shen family, Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened when she heard Shen Yingxue's words.
"You really want to go?"
Mrs. Zhang never expected that in just one night, Shen Yingxue would change her mind and actually go to Zhenjiang Mansion.
"Yes, Miaoya has helped me so much. Now she needs help. How can I just sit back and ignore her? Anyway, Ling'er and I can be anywhere. When we go to Zhenjiang Mansion, our eldest brother, Lao San, will take care of her."
Shen Yingxue said with a smile, but her face was pale and her smile seemed a bit forced.
Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "If you have made up your mind and want to go, go ahead."
Shen Yingxue is weak-tempered and might become tougher if she stays with Jiang Miao for a long time. Moreover, Shen Yanqing needs help from others. Of course, the more people there, the better.
"Well, I'll go back and pack my things right now. The shop here is closed and all the helpers at home have been dismissed."
She didn't know when she would be able to come back. Whether the shop would be idle or transferred would depend on Jiang Miao's arrangement, but the helpers at home were no longer needed.
"It's all up to you."
Mrs. Zhang didn't understand these things either. She was just responsible for helping with the cooking and cooking, while Shen Yingxue and her two daughters-in-law took care of the rest.
When several helpers heard that the Shen family no longer needed them, they were all in a panic. This job was so good, and they were free and earned a lot of money. They took several hundred pennies from home every month, which was enough for daily expenses.
This sudden loss of work made people anxious, especially Madam Su.
"My wages can be lower. As long as I can continue to work, Mrs. Shen, please don't drive me away!"
