Chapter 2371: Chance Meeting at the Train Station

Jia Zhong continued hesitantly, “Xu Chun says that she can become your most powerful weapon and that she can help you deal with the Xia family.”
He Ning was very amused by Xu Chun’s words. Was he some sort of stupid fool? This random person actually dared to talk so arrogantly in front of him.
If Xu Chun was really smart, she would not have failed so miserably at her attempt to mess up Li Gui’s wedding.
“I don’t have the patience for this. Ask her to get lost immediately,” He Ning said without looking up.
Jia Zhong conveyed what He Ning said word for word to Xu Chun. Xu Chun’s face immediately flushed bright red. She could feel the way these people looked down on her and were humiliating her.
Why was it that everyone laughed at her! Everyone looked down on her! No one took her seriously! She would definitely make these people pay for this!
That night, Li Gui came to look for Qiao Mei. She looked at Qiao Mei calmly and said, “I’m going to leave the capital.”
“Why so soon? Don’t you want to stay for a while longer? I can get someone to take care of the shop over there,” Qiao Mei said.
“It’s better for one to take care of one’s own shop. Besides, your younger siblings are going to start school soon. Their studies can’t get affected,” Li Gui said.
“But you…” Qiao Mei looked at Li Gui worriedly. She could not let Li Gui go back like this.
Li Gui patted Qiao Mei’s head and said gently, “I’ve gone through all kinds of storms in my life. I am familiar with such situations and have had a lot of different experiences. I’m really fine.”
Qiao Mei knew that she would not be able to dissuade Li Gui, so she nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. If you need anything, you must call me. No matter how small the issue is, you have to tell me.”
“I’ll take the morning train tomorrow. I’ve already told the people who need to know. Don’t say anything to the rest. I’m concerned that they’ll be worried about me. Then I won’t be able to leave,” Li Gui said.
Qiao Mei smiled. Li Gui was no longer the same Li Gui from before. She was the master of her own fate and would no longer be at the mercy of others.
Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe sent Li Gui to the train station. Unexpectedly, they saw Cai Ming and her daughter with Xu Ba there. When one was out of luck, even the simplest thing could become a difficult task!
Cai Ming was not wearing cheap clothes now and looked very eye-catching in her stylish city attire. She looked at Xu Ba blissfully and said, “You have to take good care of yourself in the capital. You’re not young anymore, so you have to take care of your own health.”
As she spoke, she reached out to touch Xu Ba’s ear, but he quickly dodged her hand. Xu Jin looked at Xu Ba mockingly and snorted coldly. Cai Ming immediately smacked Xu Jin’s hand and said, “Why are you showing such an attitude to your father!”
“I’m not…” Xu Jin whispered.
“Remember to pay more attention to Xu Jin. You have to change her name and arrange for her to go to school as soon as possible. I hear that school is about to start soon. It won’t be good if Xu Jin can’t keep up with her studies,” Cai Ming said.
“Yes, I know. You should board the train now. It’s about to depart,” Xu Ba said expressionlessly.
“I’ll call you in three days. If I don’t call you, remember to come and look for me. It may be that… my ex-husband’s family has come looking for trouble with me again…” Cai Ming said embarrassedly.
Back then, Cai Ming had married the first available man. That man was a lazy bum and he died a few years later. After that, his family kept pestering Cai Ming and wanted her to pay for their living expenses.
This time round, if they knew that both Cai Ming and Xu Jin were in touch with a man who lived in the city, they definitely would not let Cai Ming off!
As Cai Ming turned around, she waved at Li Gui and said with a smile, “Oh! You’re taking the train too! What a coincidence! Where are you going?”
Li Gui originally thought that she had already let go of everything, but when she saw Cai Ming standing next to Xu Ba, she still felt uncomfortable. That was supposed to be her spot. Then again, if not for Old Madam Xu’s interference, the person standing beside Xu Ba would be Cai Ming all this while.
Li Gui had mixed feelings about everything and she did not feel good.
“Uncle Xu, are the two of you going to get remarried? Congratulations!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“It’s not like that! It will never happen! Believe me!” Xu Ba said agitatedly.
The smile on Cai Ming’s face froze. She did not expect Xu Ba to embarrass her like this. Xu Ba also realized that his words were too harsh. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I’m just here to send her off, nothing more.”
Li Gui did not want to hear any explanation from Xu Ba. He had not gone to look for her even after so many days and she did not see any signs of repentance from him at all. He was completely preoccupied with Cai Ming and Xu Jin. Since they were so important to him, then Li Gui did not need him anymore.
