Chapter 350 Must Be Friends
Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged the quilt, looking worried at the two thick quilts in her arms.
"Mom, I really admire you. A five-kilogram cotton quilt, did you know that such a heavy quilt can suffocate people? The weather in Jingbei isn't even that cold."
Complaining as she walked out, heading towards her small courtyard.
Fan Xiuying's voice came through.
"Complaining all the time, this and that, just for carrying a quilt. You know Xiao Hui is getting married soon, and I'm preparing some dowry for her. If we don't separate them, what if the people sending the dowry take the wrong things?"
Fan Xiuying was tidying up the house since Fang Xiaohui was about to get married tomorrow.
Just got a call from Fang Xiaohui saying she wanted to come over, and Fan Xiuying naturally knew her kid was getting married tomorrow.
Today, she should take the dowry prepared for her daughter. They, as a couple, had discussed it too.
The dowry they prepared wasn't small, prepared with 1000 yuan.
In this day and age, 1000 yuan isn't a small amount; it takes years for many people to save up.
Thanks to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Knowing Fang Xiaohui's in-laws are capable, they don't lack this money, they only prepared what they should.
With help from Fan Jianshe, they bought a washing machine, a tape recorder, and some blankets, quilts, towels, and whatnot.
Logically, the dowry for their daughter was abundant.
The things prepared for Jiang Xiaoxiao were also stored here; Fan Xiuying was afraid the things would mix up later.
If Fang Xiaohui saw them, would she think she was being unfair?
She did have some biases, truth be told; the things for Jiang Xiaoxiao were personally bought by Fan Xiuying.
The items for Fang Xiaohui were brought directly by her brother.
However, Fan Xiuying felt she was worthy of this child.
This money indeed used some of Jiang Xiaoxiao's money.
Knowing it's unreasonable to use Jiang Xiaoxiao's money, it seems like it's their couple's money, but originally, this money was saved for Xiao Xiao.
So in theory, it was still using Jiang Xiaoxiao's money.
Let Fang Xiaohui not be so picky.
As Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped out, holding those thick quilts, couldn't see the road, and bumped right into someone, and the quilts fell to the ground.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly; great, now it's another mess.
Wu Fei also didn't expect Jiang Xiaoxiao to bump right into her.
Looking at the quilts on the ground, she was anxious.
Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn't think she was causing trouble on purpose, right?
Jiang Xiaoxiao apologized as she looked up, surely she didn't see the road, "Sorry, sorry, couldn't see the road..."
Seeing Wu Fei, Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Oh!
Is this going to be troublesome?
"Why did you come?"
Wu Fei heard it, it really was Jiang Xiaoxiao's style.
Not soft at all.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, I came to find you, but I didn't expect to block your path standing at the door, really sorry, made you fall. Come, let me help you with the quilts, these two are quite large, you hold one, I'll take the other. Where are you taking them, let me help?"
Wu Fei hurriedly picked up a quilt from the ground and patted off the dust.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn't responded yet, suspiciously observing Wu Fei, while picking up the remaining quilt from the ground, patting off the dust.
Since someone was willing to help with free labor, why not?
No idea what this person was here for this time, looking for trouble?
"You came to see me? What's the matter?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao went to a nearby courtyard.
Song Moting went to the street office for procedures, their household registrations were to be placed at school.
Opening the courtyard door and placing the quilts inside, Jiang Xiaoxiao finally caught her breath.
Wu Fei laughed, "You think I'm here for what? I bet you think I'm here to cause trouble."
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Didn't expect you to have such self-awareness, knowing your impression in others' minds. Hearing you say this, surely not to cause trouble, so what did you find me for? We're not friends."
When someone speaks like this, it means they have no such thoughts.
A person looking for trouble wouldn't speak like this.
Wu Fei grabbed Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Jiang Xiaoxiao, last time you and Song Moting saved me. I haven't formally thanked you yet, and about the hospital incident, that was my fault, I'm sorry! I tend to throw tantrums easily, you don't owe me anything, instead, the one who owes is me."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, looking up and down.
"Couldn't tell, Wu Missy, you can say thank you and sorry. Made me see you in a new light, how did your parents teach you this time on their return, like being rebuilt, now you suddenly can speak right."
"Look how you talk, what's this about saying right? I used to speak right too. I knew you'd say this to me, I say Jiang Xiaoxiao, can't you be a bit polite to me?"
Wu Fei rolled her eyes, being criticized didn't feel good.
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Why should I be polite to you? First, you're not my friend; second, we don't have any ties. Third, you said it, only you owe me, and not the other way around. From which point do you think I should be polite to you?"
Wu Fei was speechless!
Indeed, everything she said was the truth, made her really speechless, how to argue?
Say she was wrong, but what she said was never more correct.
"Alright alright, Wu Missy, I received your apology, and accepted your thanks. We won't have much interaction, so you go live your life well. Our paths won't cross, you walk your sunny avenue, I'll walk my single-plank bridge."
Jiang Xiaoxiao also knew she made Wu Fei uncomfortable, but she didn't have to accommodate Wu Fei.
She wasn't Fang Xiaohui, didn't have that foolish tendency.
Not expecting Wu Fei to do anything for her.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, do you particularly dislike me?"
Wu Fei didn't understand, seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao made her want to drive her away immediately, what did she do?
"Wu Missy, we're not friends, in the future there won't be many chances for interaction, so whether I like you or not is unimportant to you. Neither of us is money, truthfully, can't make everyone like us.
Moreover, our relationship doesn't reach the point of like or dislike. It's just different paths not leading to the same destination, you're the high and mighty Missy, I'm just an ordinary person, only wanting to live a normal life."
Jiang Xiaoxiao kept her distance from Wu Fei.
Wu Fei was frustrated, she almost lowered herself completely, but the outcome was good.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao! I... I..."
"You what?"
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, I indeed had many wrongdoings in the past, but I quite like your straightforward personality, not flattering or currying favor. I want to be friends with you, genuine, heart-to-heart friends.
I'm not asking you to accommodate me, nor to fawn over me, just purely want to be friends. Throughout the years, I have many friends, but most of them are drawn by my family's background, none truly friends with me as a person.
Just met someone like you, openly disdainful and looking down on me. But I truly like seeing you like this, makes me really want to be friends.
Sigh, sometimes I don't understand myself, is it the case of what's unattainable being the best?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao also found it amusing.
"Wu Missy, you've had too much feast and suddenly see me, this plain side dish type, feels particularly fresh. But if you spend a long time with me, you'll certainly feel impatient, I'm not likable, and don't know how to speak nicely.
You being with me, that grievance is huge. Thought it over, really want to be my friend? I'm a friend who never lies, what's a one is a one, what's a two is a two, might just say something that makes you stuck to the wall and can't get down.
Wishing never to have me as a friend."
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Wu Fei must look up to her.
"No worries, banter if it happens, make me stuck on the wall, unable to get down, I can banter back!"
Wu Fei became happy.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt speechless, truly a masochistic nature.
