FSC [QT] Chapter 47.7

“Sandi, hey, you are Sandi, right? Do you still recognize me? I am Qi Meifang, who worked odd jobs in the textile factory with you back then.”

Qi Meifang was a little surprised to see her old acquaintance. She held Qiu Xia’s hand and refused to let go.

“I’m sorry. You got the wrong person.”

Qiu Xia shook off Qi Meifang’s hand in panic, “There are customers over there calling me. I’ll place these orders for you first.”

She didn’t expect that after so many years and almost half a country away in China, she could still meet those people from her past.

“How could I admit the wrong person?”

Qi Meifang muttered a few words and then called another helper.

“What’s that woman’s name?”

She asked, pointing to Qiu Xia who ran to another table to help order food.

“I just came to work a few days ago, and I heard everyone calling her Sister Xia. She should be called Xia.”

Because the business was booming, in addition to Qiu Wu, the proprietress also hired two summer workers, who happened to not know Qiu Xia’s full name.

“Did I really admit the wrong person?”

Qi Meifang couldn’t help but mutter a few words.

“Mom, do you know that person?”

Qi Meifang’s daughter, Dong Leilei, asked with a pout. Just now her mother actually greeted the waiter at the barbecue restaurant. It was really embarrassing.

“I must have recognized the wrong person.”

When Qi Meifang looked over again, Qiu Xia had already hidden in the back kitchen and continued cooking. Since she didn’t see the person, Qi Meifang didn’t dwell on the matter anymore.

In fact, she still wanted to see Qiu Sandi again. She was so beautiful back then. She was a flower in the textile factory. Even though her family was poor, there were many men vying to marry her. The result…

Qi Meifang clicked her tongue twice. Facts had proved that it was useless to look good. The most important thing was to have a good life.

“You passed the exam this time and got admitted to Haidian No. 3 Middle School. You have to study harder in the future, otherwise, the Apple 4 your Dad just bought for you will be confiscated.”

Qi Meifang gave her daughter a hint.

“Know it.”

Dong Leilei stuck out her tongue. She was the biggest contributor to her family’s success in getting into Haidian No. 3 Middle School.

At this moment, she couldn’t listen to her mother’s warning. She just grabbed her father’s arm and asked for an increase in her pocket money.

The family of three was enjoying themselves happily, which was really enviable.

“Mom, didn’t Aunt Wang ask you to go to the front to help?”

Ah Wu was working very hard to speed up her skewering. When she saw her mother returning to the kitchen, she asked in confusion.

Qiu Xia said nothing, but she looked deeply at her daughter, trying her best to suppress her inner resentment.

“I’m going to the toilet.”

She had to calm down. It had been a long time since she had thought about those things that happened more than ten years ago.

Ah Wu felt that her mother’s eyes just looked weird and a little scary.

“In order for you to attend Haidian No. 3 Middle School, your father spent a million yuan in sponsorship to update a batch of teaching equipment for the school. We have agreed that in the final exam of the first semester of high school, your score must be outside the bottom fifty.”

Jiang Fugui emphasized this to his daughter, Jiang Baobao.

“Don’t worry.”

For ‘Qiu Wu’ who suddenly became a child of a nouveau riche, this requirement was not a difficulty.

She just wanted to get close to her sixteen-year-old self quickly and it was for fair reasons. That was to protect her, take care of her, and let that self know that life was beautiful.

She wanted to give her everything that she couldn’t have before.
