Chapter 648: Chapter 647: I’m Definitely Older Than You

Lin Xia specifically came over because of the breakup, feeling it somehow related to her!

But in front of Aunt Zhao, she couldn’t just ask Jiang Mingyuan about these things now.

"She hasn’t contacted me, I only just found out this matter from my aunt!"

Aunt Zhao, seeing that Lin Xia had also just learned the news, sighed softly to herself and stopped talking about it, instead, she asked Lin Xia about her visit to her grandfather’s place.

When she learned that Lin Chun’s work was going well and Lin Qiu was settling in nicely, she also let go of her worries.

"Your elder brother and them have all arranged their affairs properly, and once you complete the transfer of the store, everything will be tidy, and you can go over there with peace of mind! Your partner must be getting anxious, right?"

Lin Xia smiled lightly, "A little anxious! But he has been very busy recently, so he doesn’t have much time to think about these things!"

"That’s good then! Okay! We mother and daughter will chat another day! I came all the way to the city, and I also brought some food for Sister Xiaoqing! I’ll deliver it to her! You two chat!"

Aunt Zhao was quick and decisive, ready to leave as soon as she said she would.

Jiang Mingyuan hurriedly said, "Mom! I’ll take you there!"

Aunt Zhao adamantly refused, "Why the need to send me! The bus stop is not far from the door, it’s more convenient for me to take the bus!

You’ll be having lunch soon! Don’t bother yourself!"

Lin Xia quickly joined in persuading her, "Godmother! Let Second Brother take you! I’m at the store!"

In the end, Aunt Zhao couldn’t outstubborn Jiang Mingyuan and he saw her out the door.

Lin Xia breathed out a sigh of relief and quietly sat in the lobby waiting for Jiang Mingyuan to return.

On the way over, she had thought, Song Zhiya’s breakup with Second Brother couldn’t possibly have nothing to do with her.

Song Zhiya had already taken a dislike to her because of the things Ji Man had said.

That hug that day had only complicated things further.

Later, there had even been the incident where Song Zhiya, in anger, had used Yu Hongli...

But what should she do now?

Jiang Mingyuan came back quickly, "Lin Xia! Let’s go to my office!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia followed him upstairs to the second-floor office.

As soon as Lin Xia entered the door, she stared intently at Jiang Mingyuan and went straight to the point, "Second Brother! You broke up because of me, didn’t you?"

That was her thought when she had just heard about it from Luo Xinyan.

Song Zhiya’s sudden breakup with Jiang Mingyuan must have been because of those previous incidents!

But Jiang Mingyuan just smiled and said, "Lin Xia! You’re overthinking it! What does it have to do with you?

It’s my reason! Maybe she felt there was no future with me!"

Lin Xia frowned, "Second Brother... should I call her and have a good talk? I guess she’s just acting on a whim... and it’s not..."

In her view, Song Zhiya really cared about Jiang Mingyuan, and if there was a chance at reconciliation, she still wanted to try to help as much as possible.

Jiang Mingyuan waved his hand to stop Lin Xia from saying more and spoke seriously, "Lin Xia! Don’t call her about this! Our breakup has nothing to do with you!

And once it’s over, it’s over! There’s nothing more to say!

But it is because of me that your relationship with your cousin has worsened, and I do feel quite guilty about it!"

Everything started because of him, and Song Zhiya’s breakup wasn’t such a big deal as they probably wouldn’t see each other again anyway.

But it’s different for Lin Xia and Song Zhiya, they’re relatives and there will be interaction in the future.

Lin Xia was quite calm about it, "Second Brother! You don’t need to feel guilty! Relatives only come and go often if they feel comfortable, and if not, they visit less!"

Although Song Zhiya was her cousin, with one in the south and one in the north, it was likely that they would seldom see each other if they didn’t want to interact, except when visiting their maternal grandfather’s home.

Seeing this, Jiang Mingyuan refrained from saying more, as he did not want to continue talking about Song Zhiya with Lin Xia.

He glanced down at the time, "Lin Xia! I’m fine! You should go on with your work! Don’t you have to do inventory with Ma Hao tomorrow?"

"Alright! Second Brother! Then I’ll go ahead! I still need to stop by Ding Ling’s house to let them know!"

The reason Lin Xia had come to check was also because she was worried about Jiang Mingyuan. Now that he seemed unwilling to talk more about it, she also didn’t feel it was right to say too much...

The next day, Ma Hao came to Lin Xia’s store to do inventory, accompanied by his younger sister Ma Huihui.

Ma Hao introduced them with a smile, "Lin Xia! This is our youngest sister! Her name is Ma Huihui!" Then he urged, "Hurry up and call her sister!"

Ma Huihui seemed obedient as she called out, "Sister!" but her large, lively eyes revealed a hint of her personality.

This was Lin Xia’s first time meeting a member of Ma Hao’s family.

In this day and age, most households have many children, with four or five being few, and some even more.

Lin Xia estimated that Ma Huihui’s height could be around 164 centimeters, neither fat nor thin.

She didn’t look much like Ma Hao, with a round face, rosy cheeks, big sparkling eyes full of life, and bright red lips turned up at the corners;

Moreover, she was very cheerful, and when she smiled, not only did she reveal white, shell-like teeth, but she also had two cute dimples.

Lin Xia guessed that between the siblings, probably one took after their father and the other after their mother.

Ding Ling and the others also arrived at the store one after another.

Lin Xia divided the areas, and everyone started to count and record the inventory.

Ma Huihui soon revealed her vivacious character, tilting her head as she asked Lin Xia, "Sister! How old are you, really? You don’t look like you’re married like my brother said! I think we’re about the same age!"

Before her visit, from her brother’s description, she had thought that the woman who ran the store must be a formidable and astute person.

But when she actually met her, she found that Lin Xia was nothing like the person she had imagined.

Not only was she young and beautiful, but she also had a great temperament and didn’t at all resemble a slick businessperson.

Lin Xia looked up at her with a light chuckle, "I’m definitely older than you!"

Ma Hao was Second Brother’s classmate, and since this was his youngest sister, who had just graduated from middle vocational school, her age certainly couldn’t be very high.

After chatting with Ma Huihui for a while, Lin Xia grew to like this bright and cheerful girl.

The few of them were doing inventory together, which was a tedious task.

But with such a talkative and laugh-loving person, the atmosphere in the store was very relaxed and joyful.

Ding Ling and the others were also infected by Ma Huihui’s laughter, the corners of their mouths lifted in pleasure.

It was Ma Hao who grew impatient listening on the side, and finally, in the midst of Ma Huihui’s giggling, he exploded in dissatisfaction, "Ma Huihui! Can you talk less? I’ve counted wrong because of you! How did you promise me at home?"

If he hadn’t thought that having more people would make the inventory go faster, he wouldn’t have wanted to have this little bee buzzing around him.

Ma Huihui playfully winked at Lin Xia and then looked at Ma Hao, "Brother! I’ll stop talking, okay?"

It took four days to completely inventory the goods in Lin Xia’s store.

During those days, Lin Xia got along very well with Ma Huihui, and they virtually became friends.

When Lin Xia and Ma Hao had finished the transfer, with money and goods accounted for,

Ma Huihui actually felt reluctant to part with Lin Xia, whispering, "Sister! Can I write to you when you get to your husband’s workplace?"
