Chapter 94: He Got Angry Because She Didn’t Tell Him
Xu Jiaming also extended his hand to shake Su Zhaozhao’s.
Su Zhaozhao didn’t really want to, but she shook it briefly out of politeness.
Xu Jiaming offered a well-behaved and charming smile. "Miss Su, it’s a pleasure to meet you."
Looking at his smile, Su Zhaozhao felt a strange wave of goosebumps.
’I have a bad feeling this Xu Jiaming is up to no good.’
"Oh, right, you have to come the day after tomorrow. Our summer vacation is starting soon."
"Okay."
’With so much money on the line, how could I not show up?’
’They even trusted me enough to give me a deposit right away. Truly more money than sense.’
"I’ll bring more styles then. Let’s meet at the same time. Since you’ve paid a deposit, you can have the first pick."
"Okay." Xu Jiaxin waved goodbye to Su Zhaozhao.
Su Zhaozhao left as well.
She had forgotten that this was around the time university students went on break.
But it seemed like university holidays in this era were shorter than in her time.
It was already early July...
’No matter. A late vacation just means I can earn a bit more money.’
But she never expected to get acquainted with the female lead’s love rival and her crazy pursuer.
That’s right, Xu Jiaxin was the female lead’s rival. She also liked the male lead, and because she knew he liked the female lead, she tried to suppress her at every turn.
However, because she wasn’t very bright and her methods were too direct, the clever female lead was always able to turn the tables and utterly humiliate her.
And as for the other one, Xu Jiaming... although he was Xu Jiaxin’s brother, he was infatuated with the female lead.
The two met when the female lead went to Shencheng City on business. At that time, he didn’t know his sister and the female lead were rivals. But at an exhibition, the female lead displayed her intelligence, and he was immediately smitten.
And his affection was the pathological kind.
Even though the female lead rejected him, he would collect all sorts of her belongings, place them in his room, and savor them.
In public, he was the young master of the Xu Family—handsome, and one could even say well-behaved.
But behind the scenes, he was paranoid and dark, his desire for the female lead reaching a level of pathological madness.
That was why Su Zhaozhao felt goosebumps crawl over her skin after recognizing them just now.
’Any normal person would be scared, right!’
They seemed quite normal right now, but when she thought about their madness in the novel, Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but shake her head.
’Thankfully, I’m just an unimportant villainess.’
Besides, Xu Jiaxin hadn’t met Xie Huaizheng yet, so she wouldn’t fall for him so quickly.
Things would be much better later on, after she and he were married.
Su Zhaozhao didn’t know that after she left, Xu Jiaming suddenly reached out and yanked the hair scarf from Xu Jiaxin’s head.
The method Su Zhaozhao had shown Xu Jiaxin was quite simple, so it was easy to pull it off.
Xu Jiaxin had been planning to wear it while shopping to make others envious of her.
She never expected Xu Jiaming to rip it off. She glared at him furiously. "Xu Jiaming! What is wrong with you? How dare you pull off my hair scarf!"
Xu Jiaxin tried to snatch the hair scarf back, but Xu Jiaming stopped her. "Whatever you want to buy today, I’ll get it for you. Can you give this hair scarf to me?"
After speaking, he stuffed the hair scarf into his pants pocket, acting as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Xu Jiaxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. "Are you having one of your fits again?"
She knew she couldn’t get back anything Xu Jiaming set his sights on.
It had been like this since they were children. Xu Jiaming was three years older than her, and he had been domineering from a young age.
But under normal circumstances, Xu Jiaming wouldn’t fight with her over things.
There were very few things he wanted, but once he fixed his eyes on something, he wouldn’t give it to her no matter how much she cried or screamed.
She just never thought he would take an interest in a hair scarf.
’What use does a grown man have for this hair scarf? He’s not going to wear it on his head, is he?’
’Isn’t that incredibly weird?’
Xu Jiaming smiled. "Mm, you could say I’m having a bit of a relapse."
His hand was in his pants pocket, stroking the hair scarf.
Having earned a good bit of money, Su Zhaozhao was in a great mood. She did some more shopping before heading back to the guesthouse.
After returning to the guesthouse, Su Zhaozhao handed the hair scarves she had taken from her space to Yu Huijun.
"You’re in luck today. I found a sale—buy the red one, get the green one free."
Su Zhaozhao handed the two hair scarves to Yu Huijun.
In her hands lay two large hair scarves, styled like handkerchiefs. The red one was embroidered, and the green one had light gold patterns.
Both were beautiful.
Yu Huijun shrieked with excitement. "Oh my god, am I really this lucky? Not only was there a sale, but they’re both so exquisite and pretty!"
Seeing her so happy, Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh. "Mhm, that’s why I said you have good luck."
Yu Huijun eagerly put one on. "Sister, help me look. Does it look good?"
She had already started calling her "Sister" affectionately.
After all, Su Zhaozhao had been staying here for so long and had never caused any trouble. On the contrary, she sometimes brought her food and even helped her resolve some issues at the guesthouse.
She couldn’t be more grateful.
’Young girls look good in everything anyway.’
Su Zhaozhao said with a beaming smile, "It’s beautiful. A red flower for a beautiful lady—it’s a perfect match."
Yu Huijun’s cheeks immediately flushed. She felt embarrassed under Su Zhaozhao’s gaze.
"By the way, did Camp Commander Xie come looking for me?" Su Zhaozhao asked Yu Huijun.
"He did, but I told him you went downtown, so he left without saying anything else."
’Good, as long as she told him.’
Su Zhaozhao returned to her room to rest for a while.
The whole trip today had been exhausting.
Even though she didn’t work at the hospital today, it was more tiring than a day at the hospital.
It was mainly the bus—the swaying and rattling was draining.
She had bought quite a few things.
Gifts for Xie Huaizheng, for the few comrades of his she knew, and for Zhou Xiaoyun and her husband.
They were all practical items. Unfortunately, her space didn’t have things like that.
But they didn’t cost much money.
Su Zhaozhao entered the room inside her space and lay down.
The bed here was many times more comfortable than the one at the guesthouse.
She could toss and turn, play music, and light scented candles.
In short, it was exactly the same as her room in her real life.
Back in her real life, Su Zhaozhao had never pursued much of anything. Good food and a comfortable bed were the only things that made her feel happy.
Therefore, she had spent a fortune on those two things.
She thought she’d never get a good night’s sleep after transmigrating into the book, but she never expected her space to have such a great bed.
Su Zhaozhao lay down and fell asleep.
The day had been tiring enough.
Until a knock on the door woke her up.
She came out of her space and went to open the door.
When she opened the door, Xie Huaizheng slipped inside, immediately pinning her against the doorframe. His tall frame loomed over her, his gaze heavy. "Su Zhaozhao, you went out without telling me beforehand?"
