Chapter 354 Disillusionment
"Yes." Jiang Zhuguo answered affirmatively, "I want to go to Changzhou Prefecture with Sister Xia, and Sister Xia has agreed."

Sure enough.

The shopkeeper actually guessed it right.

Madam Jiang is capable and ambitious, and she is extremely loyal to Madam Xia. She will definitely follow Madam Xia to Changzhou Prefecture.

"How long will Madam Jiang stay in Changzhou City?" Wu Xiong asked again.

"Sister Xia didn't say that." Jiang Zhuguo said with a smile, "But I expressed my feelings to Sister Xia. I want to do a good job and strive to build a world for myself. From this point of view, I will probably stay for a while."

This period of time may be several months, several years, or even longer...

Wu Xiong's originally uneasy and anxious heart now completely fell to the bottom. He felt his heart tighten and even his throat felt a little dry.

So much so that when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Madam Jiang, actually..."

"actually……"

Wu Xiong spoke hesitantly, causing Jiang Zhuguo to frown. "Brother Wu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Actually, I..." Wu Xiong finally gritted his teeth and spit out the words that had been on the tip of his tongue for several times, "I quite like Madam Jiang..."

Wu Xiong likes her?
Jiang Zhuguo was stunned for a moment.

But soon, Jiang Zhuguo came back to his senses and pursed his lips.

Yes, Wu Xiong often came here and brought gifts countless times, and every time he would deliberately remind them that these things were for her and Lady Xia.

At first she thought it was just because of Sister Xia, but later she thought it might be because Wu Xiong felt sorry for her family situation, so he took extra care of her.

Now it seems that it is because Wu Xiong is interested in her.

And judging from his actions, he seems to have been interested in her for some time...

Although Wu Xiong is often a bit rash and simple-minded, he is loyal, filial, and does things prudently. Apart from being a little older, he is a pretty good person overall.

He can be considered a good husband candidate.

but……

Jiang Zhuguo drooped his eyelids slightly, "Brother Wu, are you telling me this now because you want me to stay in Jinqiu County as much as possible?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

Wu Xiong was afraid that Jiang Zhuguo would misunderstand him, so he waved his hands again and again in a hurry, "I don't want to keep Madam Jiang, I just want to take this opportunity to express my feelings to Madam Jiang. I'm afraid that Madam Jiang won't be able to come back for a long time after going to Changzhou City this time, and I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to say these words."

"Mrs. Jiang is ambitious and wants to build a career with Mrs. Xia. I understand and support all the decisions that Mrs. Jiang makes. As long as Mrs. Jiang is happy, that's all!"

"I just want to ask Madam Jiang if I can go to Changzhou City to visit her..."

If he can, it means he still has some hope.

Jiang Zhuguo didn't expect Wu Xiong to give such an answer. After a moment of stunned silence, he shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, you should try not to go to Changzhou City."

When Wu Xiong heard this, the last bit of fantasy in his heart was instantly shattered.

It turns out that it doesn’t work.

Madam Jiang is pretty, capable, well-educated, and probably looks down on a rough guy like him who was born as a gambling thug...

Wu Xiong was very sad. His head drooped to his chest and he looked like an eggplant hit by frost. He didn't have any spirit at all.

I was even thinking about how to find a suitable reason to leave...

"Auntie Han is old and needs someone to take care of her. Sister Xia will be away for a while. You should go to Buyun Tower from time to time to look after it and help Manager Ge run the business. If you go to Changzhou City to see me, you will have to delay many things, which is not good." Jiang Zhuguo tilted his head and said, "How about I write a letter to Brother Wu when the time comes, and Brother Wu can write back to me. They say that seeing a letter is like seeing a person, so we have met, right?"

Jiang Zhuguo wants to write him a letter when he arrives in Changzhou City?

And want him to write a reply?
That means he still has a chance?
But here comes the problem. Although he has been with Manager Ge for a long time and knows some words, if he really wants to write...

It's true that I'm a little overwhelmed.

And considering his writing level, even if you give Wu Jin a piece of meat, Wu Jin will still write better than him!
But then again, everything depends on human efforts.

Especially when it comes to matters involving Madam Jiang, he can do it!

Wu Xiong was overjoyed, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, then Madam Jiang must remember to write to me!"

"Sure." Jiang Zhuguo agreed with a smile.

Madam Jiang not only agreed, but also smiled at him...

Wu Xiong felt dizzy. Even after leaving Xia Mingyue's house, he still felt his legs were weak, as if he was walking on clouds and felt a little dizzy.

This can be considered as a step forward for him and Madam Jiang...

The more Wu Xiong thought about it, the happier he became. After arriving at the Sifang Casino, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, but suddenly he heard someone talking.

"No, no, you're just daydreaming. This won't last long. You see, we'll have to separate sooner or later!"

Wu Xiong's face immediately drooped when he heard this. He stared at the younger brother who was walking towards him and shouted, "What unlucky words are you talking about? If you say something like this again, do you believe I will beat you up?"

After saying that, he glared at his younger brother fiercely, then strode to the backyard.

The younger brother, who had been scolded, touched the back of his head in confusion, his face full of grievance.

What did he just say?

Didn’t the boss ask them to find a cute little rabbit during this period of time, saying that he wanted to please Madam Jiang?
They found a suitable rabbit, but the other party said it would be better to buy a male and a female, so that they could have many rabbits in the future and if they were well raised, they would have no shortage of meat all year round.

He thought that the rabbits were raised for Madam Jiang to play with, not for meat, so he felt that the male and female rabbits needed to be raised separately, and he also told others not to have any ideas about the rabbits...

What, did he say something wrong?
Why do I have to be scolded for no reason?

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt, and my eyes were filled with resentment.

Another little brother beside him patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Fool, you don't even realize this?"

"What do you see?"

"Our boss, this guy must be completely in love with Madam Jiang. Can't you see that his mouth is grinning from ear to ear?"

"So what does this have to do with quarreling with me?"

"Who told you to break up? It's just because the boss is happy. If I had said that before, your head would have turned into a pig's head!"

"Is this so..."

If you put it that way, the word "separate" does seem a bit unlucky.

However, his mouth has never been blessed, so it's not like everything he says will come true.

If it was really true, he said it was going to rain. The sky is so clear now, how could it really rain?
I was just thinking about it when I heard a rumbling sound coming from far away. The originally sunny weather suddenly became cloudy like the bottom of a pot...

Low-grade fever, sore throat, dizziness... A new wave of flu (or possibly COVID-19) is coming, so everyone must take care of their health~
