It took Jiang Mian quite a bit of effort to get out of Lanshan Mansion.

I took a bus, then the subway, then another bus before finally reaching my destination.

The busiest time has passed, and there are no customers left in the rice noodle roll shop.

The owner and his wife are tidying up the table.

"Mianmian?" The proprietress was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian smiled and walked over.

The bloodshot in her eyes had subsided, and the swelling on her face had gone down. She no longer looked as ferocious and disheveled as before.

But the proprietress was still a little embarrassed.

"Mianmian, last time..."

Jiang Mian understood their difficulties; not everyone can face evil forces without fear.

They have families to support and lives to live; they can't afford to mess with those thugs.

"I'm sorry about what happened last time, boss lady."

Jiang Mian said, "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. I won't be able to work here anymore. I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance so you would have time to hire someone new."

"No, that's not true." Hearing Jiang Mian apologize first, the proprietress sighed and took Jiang Mian's hand.

“You’re a good girl. I saw your dad again these past two days, wandering around with a few people. They’re obviously looking to cause you trouble. You have to be careful.”

Jiang Mian was taken aback by these words. She hadn't expected that Jiang Da would actually be staking out the breakfast shop.

After leaving the breakfast shop, she bit her lip and made a phone call to Jiang Feng.

He should have sent a message, but Jiang Feng is a student, and it's not convenient for him to answer the phone at school.

However, Jiang Mian's phone was in a semi-dead state.

When Jiang Da came to cause trouble last time, she smashed her phone, which was already quite old.

Another fall, and the screen shattered.

Before, at least I could see the screen clearly, but today half of the screen has become a patch of colorful blocks.

I feel like this phone won't last much longer.

Jiang Feng answered the phone quickly, his voice lowered.

But you could tell from his tone that he was a little anxious, "Jiang Mian, how are you?! Did he cause you any trouble? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, take care of yourself. I found a job with room and board included, it's not a place he can easily find, so don't worry."

"That's good." Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "If anything happens, just let me know."

Jiang Mian responded, and then she heard some faint cheering sounds on the other end. Jiang Feng then whispered, "Hang up."

The call was quickly hung up.

Jiang Mian frowned, unsure if it was just her imagination.

I have a feeling that the jeering I heard earlier wasn't friendly jeering.

Jiang Mian was worried that calling back would only provoke more of a commotion.

My phone can't send messages right now.

After thinking about it, she took a car to the commercial district.

I'm thinking of getting a new phone.

The commercial area was bustling with activity, with many mobile phone stores offering various promotions and discounts, all of which seemed like great deals.

But once she went inside to learn more, the price made Jiang Mian hesitate.

Although there are very cheap mobile phones that don't cost much but have all the basic functions.

But Jiang Mian... just like all mothers, wanted to take more cute photos and videos of her child.

It would be great if the phone had a little more memory and better camera resolution.

Once these two prerequisites are added, the price will go up.

This is perfectly understandable.

Or... how about checking out those secondhand websites to see if there are any better deals?

She hesitated for a long time, wandering among various mobile phone stores.

“You…” a voice rang out from the side.

The commercial area was crowded, and Jiang Mian didn't realize that the voice was calling her, so she didn't pay attention, even though the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Then, a finger poked her shoulder from behind.

Jiang Mian was taken aback and turned to look.

"President Jiang...?" Jiang Mian almost blurted out his name.

Jiang Yu stood behind her, his expression somewhat complicated. "What a coincidence. I haven't seen you delivering orders around here lately."

“Ah, I… changed jobs,” Jiang Mian said.

If she wasn't sure when Jiang Yu ordered last time, she was now certain after hearing his words.

Jiang Yu deliberately ordered the food for her to deliver. Although he didn't understand his intentions.

Just then, a petite figure skipped and hopped to Jiang Yu's side.

He handed an ice cream to Jiang Yu, saying, "Buy one get one free, why don't you have one?"

She followed Jiang Yu's gaze to Jiang Mian, blinked, and turned to ask him, "Do you know her?"

"Yes, I've seen it before." Jiang Yu glanced at the ice cream handed to him. "I don't like sweets."

Then, after taking it, he handed it to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian recalled that last time, he had done the same thing, handing her a box of small cakes and a cold drink.

"Ah, no need, thank you." Jiang Mian quickly waved her hand and prepared to take her leave.

I'm very curious whether the person in front of me is Jiang Yu's girlfriend.

But her current identity is no longer Jiang Yu's sister...

Before Jiang Mian could say goodbye, another familiar voice came from the side.

"I knew you wouldn't eat ice cream, so I bought fried..."

The gentle voice stopped abruptly, and when it spoke again, it was slightly unsteady, "...Mianmian?"

But he quickly realized his mistake and immediately said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else, I'm sorry."

Jiang Mian turned her head and met Qin Yanhuai's warm and gentle eyes.

In her previous life, when she was young, she was Qin Yanhuai's neighbor.

He really was her childhood sweetheart, the older brother next door, two years older than her, who had practically watched her and Jiang Yu grow up.

Five years later, Qin Yanhuai has matured into a man in his thirties.

"It's okay," Jiang Mian said.

In their past life, Qin Yanhuai was just the older brother next door to the two siblings.

We have a very good relationship, from childhood to adulthood.

There seemed to be nothing else besides that, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that I learned about it from Meng Yang after my rebirth.

What happened outside while she was being treated in the ICU?

How Qin Yanhuai and Jiang Yu confronted Lu Bozhou.

If she didn't know these things, she probably wouldn't have known at all.

It turns out that Qin Yanhuai had always harbored special feelings for her.

So much so that when she hears him call out "Mianmian" now, Jiang Mian can't understand it, even though she has been dead for five years.

Why is Qin Yanhuai still so hung up on it?

But... I still felt a little touched.

"President Jiang, I'll be going now," Jiang Mian said.

I was hesitating and lingering in the mobile phone store, but now I can't hesitate anymore.

Let's just give up on that idea and go back.

She had just stepped out of the business district when her phone rang.

She couldn't see whose number it was on the screen, so she just answered the call.

A deep, indifferent male voice came through the phone, "Where are you now? I'll come pick you up." [Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites, thank you darlings. I had White Elephant Coriander Noodles today, oh my god, it was absolutely amazing! Coriander lovers scream!]
