A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

South City

Perhaps frightened by Jian Zhongliang's words, Jian Xiaojing and Li Meiqian quieted down.

Jian Dashan's dream of climbing the social ladder was shattered by the relentless attacks from the Jian brothers, Jian Zhongkang and Jian Zhongliang.

We've returned to our routine of drinking tea and playing chess in the morning, and fishing by the river in the afternoon.

On the contrary, Jian Qingyi is getting busier and busier.

In the evenings, we were busy gathering the crabs, fish, and shrimp around the small island.

Early in the morning and late at night, they would travel back and forth on the main streets of the southern part of the city.

She visited all the decent restaurants, eateries, and farmers' markets in the southern part of the city.

Small county towns have limited purchasing power.

In addition, seafood such as crabs and lobsters are eaten in small quantities and thrown away in large quantities, so people feel it's not worth it.

Sales volume just won't pick up.

After struggling for more than a week, I didn't make much money and even lost a lot of smiles.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.

Jian Qingyi decided to try her luck in Beijing anyway.

Big cities always offer more opportunities.

Just do it.

That evening at the dinner table, Jian Qingyi made a fuss about wanting to go to Beijing, saying that she hadn't seen Jian Liqiu for a long time.

“Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and the factory is working overtime to finish the work…” Jian Zhongliang immediately frowned.

The period before the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival is the busiest time for candy factories.

The workers in the factory were all so busy they were practically flying.

Asking for leave at this time would be impossible, not only would Director Wu not agree, but he himself wouldn't have the face to ask!

“I didn’t say you had to come with me,” Jian Qingyi interrupted him.

"If you won't let me accompany you, who do you want to accompany you?" Jian Zhongliang frowned even more.

His gaze toward Jian Qingyi carried a scrutinizing quality.

"Why should I need someone to accompany me? Can't I go by myself? I'm a grown adult, how could I possibly get lost?" Jian Qingyi was speechless.

She just said it casually that day.

When will he stop?!

"How can a young girl like you go to such a far place?" Jian Zhongliang's brows showed no sign of easing.

“It only takes four hours by train, how is it far?” Jian Qingyi put down her chopsticks.

"Four hours isn't far?" Jian Zhongliang's voice rose several octaves.

“Let me tell you, I don’t agree. There are human traffickers everywhere in the train station. You, a young girl, going to take the train is like sending a lamb to the slaughter!” Jian Zhongliang slammed his chopsticks on the table.

Li Meiqian and Jian Xiaojing exchanged a glance, neither daring to utter a sound.

after all……

Speaking up for Jian Zhongliang would inevitably offend Jian Qingyi.

Given Jian Qingyi's current personality, they definitely won't get any advantage.

Speaking up for Jian Qingyi would displease Jian Zhongliang.

The essential……

What if something happens to Jian Qingyi on her way to Beijing...?

Although the mother and daughter really wanted Jian Qingyi to have this accident.

But this matter absolutely cannot be related to them.

As long as they don't speak up or add anything, even if that brat Jian Qingyi is kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to some old bachelor in the deep mountains, it won't be their fault.

Having figured this out, Li Meiqian and Jian Xiaojing kept their mouths shut even more tightly.

"Dad, dear Dad, please let me go! I promise I won't get lost, and I'll call you as soon as I get to Beijing." Jian Qingyi got up and sat on Jian Zhongliang's stool, hugging his arm and shaking it.

"When my older brother and second sister were my age, they went to Beijing to join the army. You still won't let me go out. Do you want to raise me into a useless person?"

"father……"

Jian Qingyi was half coquettish and half unreasonable.

“If you want to see your second sister, you can go with your eldest brother when he comes back…” Jian Zhongliang’s attitude seemed to soften somewhat.

“Big brother has only been gone for a short time, how could he be back so soon?” Jian Qingyi immediately said.

"Dad, I don't care, I'm going! If you don't agree, I'll go secretly by myself." In the end, Jian Qingyi resorted to being a rogue.

"You dare!" Jian Zhongliang slammed his fist on the table.

The bowls, chopsticks, and plates on the dining table suddenly jumped.

The bowls and plates that were close together made a crisp clinking sound.

"You'll see if I dare." Jian Qingyi retorted, sticking her neck out.

If she weren't afraid of running away on her own and causing trouble that would affect her plans, she would have left long ago and would still be here idly chatting with him.

“Jian Qingyi…” Jian Zhongliang clenched his back teeth.

"Dad, please let me go play for a few days. I promise I'll come back safely." Seeing that the time was right, Jian Qingyi softened her tone.

Jian Zhongliang glared at her and turned his face away.

"Dad, dear Dad, please let me go play for a few days!" Jian Qingyi said with a forced smile.

Jian Zhongliang sighed, stood up, and walked outside.

"Father..." Thinking that Jian Zhongliang wanted to go out and find some peace and quiet, Jian Qingyi called out reluctantly.

"A truck from the factory is delivering goods to Beijing tomorrow morning. I'll go ask them what time they're leaving," Jian Zhongliang said helplessly.

"Thank you, Father!" Jian Qingyi's face instantly brightened.

"If you stop making me angry a couple of times, I'll be thankful." Jian Zhongliang glared at her.

The candy factory has five large trucks specifically for delivery.

Jian Zhongliang was a good-tempered man who spoke kindly and always had a smile on his face. He worked diligently in the factory, and the workers all had a good impression of him.

Upon learning that Jian Qingyi wanted to hitch a ride to Beijing, the truck driver agreed without hesitation.

The truck driver was a man in his forties, and he was very talkative.

Perhaps because he spends so much time driving around, he knows every nook and cranny.

Since the original owner had never traveled far from home, Jian Qingyi was unable to find any useful information in her memories.

Fortunately, the original owner's scumbag father found her a "living map".

Most importantly...

The driver was really talkative.

Jian Qingyi asked, "Is it true that Beijing's roast duck is the most famous?"

The driver immediately started talking.

Which restaurant has the most famous roast duck?

Things there are really expensive.

Everywhere you go, you'll find rich people living there.

Don't go into any hotel unless you have at least a thousand or eight hundred yuan in your pocket.

……

On the way to Beijing, the driver's mouth hardly stopped.

Jian Qingyi listened with great interest.

As she listened, she made plans in her mind...

Where to go first, then where to go next, and finally where to go last.

The candy on the bus was being delivered to a warehouse, not into the city. Jian Qingyi got off at a bus stop outside the city.

Thinking that her scumbag father was still waiting for news at home, she first found a public phone and called the candy factory.

The young woman who answered the phone was from the mailroom. Jian Qingyi didn't ask her to call the person, but only to tell her scumbag father that the person had arrived and that he shouldn't worry about her, as she would be going back in a few days.

After hanging up the phone and paying, Jian Qingyi returned to the bus stop.

Looking at the route map behind the platform, Jian Qingyi quickly found the routes to the military headquarters and the Yunlai Hotel.

Good guy!

They're not even on the same page.

To be precise, they were separated by a great distance.
