Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 600: 172: The moon in the sea is the moon in the sky, the person in front of you is the person in your heart_5

Having come back from studying abroad, he speaks his mind without mincing words.

Chen Zhicang firmly believes in one phrase.

There’s no flower that can’t be pried away by a hoe, only a hoe that isn’t trying enough!

In his determination, he believes that he will inevitably pry Ni Yang away from her roots.

Chen Zhicang is full of confidence in himself.

Ni Yang said: “Time is money. Rather than wasting time on the impossible, better to use it to do something meaningful.”

If something is impossible from the start, it is best to clarify it once and for all.

Ni Yang dislikes ambiguity.

Chen Zhicang spoke bluntly: “We could start as ordinary friends. For me, the most meaningful thing now is to win you over.” “This may make it impossible for me to be friends with you.” Ni Yang was also straightforward.

Chen Zhicang’s intentions are clear. If she agreed now, things would become ambiguous.

“Yangyang, I’ve found you more and more interesting.”

“Better call me Ni Yang. And, I find you particularly uninteresting.”

In the past, Ni Yang didn’t mind Chen Zhicang calling her Yangyang since they were friends. Now knowing his intentions, hearing him call her Yangyang made her uncomfortable.

It simply felt strange.

“Wow, you’re this petty?” Chen Zhicang was somewhat taken aback.

With a light tone, Ni Yang responded, “Yes, I am this petty. And, I strongly dislike ambiguity. I have things to do and can’t keep you company.” As she finished her words, she turned and headed for the upstairs office.

Chen Zhicang watched Ni Yang’s retreating silhouette, his heart beating even faster!

No wonder he liked her, she was even more irresistible when rejecting him!

He could hardly bear to let her go.

Chen Zhicang felt like surrendering on the spot.

“How is it? This girl isn’t easy to pursue, right?” Yang Kai walked over and patted Chen Zhicang’s shoulder.

“It’s not easy.” Chen Zhicang continued: “But for me, it’s only a matter of time. You guys get ready to wash my stinky socks!”

Yang Kai smirked, “If I heard right, she just said she’s cutting ties with you. Plus, she already has a boyfriend. Wake up! The one who needs to wash socks is you!”

Chen Zhicang elbowed Yang Kai in the chest, “In this day and age, even people who are married can divorce, what’s a boyfriend?”

The divorce rate in Beijing during the ’80s had been gradually increasing.

Nor was divorce considered as scandalous as in the past.

Yang Kai responded: “I think you’re the sort who won’t turn back until you hit a wall.”

Suddenly, Chen Zhicang seemed to remember something, “Right, help me find out who Yangyang’s boyfriend is.”

Once he understands his rival, the better the opportunity to win the competition!

Yang Kai looked at Chen Zhicang, “Didn’t she tell you to stop calling her Yangyang?”

Chen Zhicang gave Yang Kai a punch, “What’s it to you if I call her that behind her back?!”

As soon as Ni Yang returned to the office, she received a call from Ni Cuihua.

Since the telephone at home hadn’t been installed yet, Ni Cuihua had to call from the village’s supply and marketing cooperative.

“Yangyang, your Uncle Shangguan and Aunt Danni are here. Come home early tonight, and pick up some vegetables from the market on the way.” Ni Cuihua instructed on the phone.

“Alright Mom, I got it.”

Ni Yang naturally wouldn’t neglect her guests. She hung up the phone and headed out immediately.

She bought some vegetables and fresh fruits from the market, then got on her bike to go home.

Even though Ni Yang was now a business owner, she remained frugal and still used her old big cross beam bike, her only mode of transportation.

She never enjoyed displaying her wealth.

“Honk!” A small sedan suddenly pulled up in front of her.

Ni Yang immediately hit the brakes.

At that moment, the window of the sedan slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome face.

“Ni Yang, where do you live? I’ll give you a ride!”

If it wasn’t Chen Zhicang, who else could it be?

“No need. I’m fine going home on my own.” Ni Yang directly declined.

Chen Zhicang continued: “Ni Yang, I don’t mean anything else. I just saw you looked tired from biking, so I wanted to give you a ride.”

Ni Yang was too lazy to deal with Chen Zhicang, she turned the car around and went another way.

Chen Zhicang watched Ni Yang’s back, his heart rate started to unconsciously quicken again.

It had been a long time since he had met a girl with such a unique character like Ni Yang.

He was certain that he could win over Ni Yang!

Certainly!

Chen Zhicang slapped the steering wheel fiercely.

After Ni Yang returned home, she clearly felt the dynamic between Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui had changed.

Exactly what had changed, she couldn’t say.

Anyhow, it had been a long while since she had seen Ni Cuihua smile so happily.

“Uncle Shangguan,” Ni Yang greeted him politely.

“Yangyang,” Shangguan Dehui nodded.

Ni Yang looked around and asked, “Mom, didn’t you say Aunt Danni and Uncle Zhao were also here? Why don’t I see them?”

Ni Cuihua said, “They went out to play.”

“Oh,” Ni Yang nodded.

In the afternoon, Zhou Danni and Old Zhao returned with the kids.

The couple thanked Ni Yang profusely, “Yangyang, we really can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for you, Uncle Zhao would still be selling steamed buns. You have no idea how bad the business was. We couldn’t even make a single yuan a day.”

To Zhou Danni and Old Zhao, Ni Yang was like their family’s benefactor!

Ni Yang replied with a smile, “Aunt Danni, Uncle Zhao, this is also due to your hard work and skills. I just played a small mediating role. If the steamed buns which you made were not delicious, who would buy them?”

“I don’t care, you’re the savior of our family anyway!”

Ni Cuihua listened on, baffledly.

How did Ni Yang suddenly become the savior of Zhou Danni and her husband?

Zhou Danni immediately explained everything to Ni Cuihua.

“Big Ya, you are so blessed for having such an excellent daughter like Yangyang in this life!”

Shangguan Dehui, sitting aside, heard the whole thing and started looking at Ni Yang differently.

It seemed that Big Ya’s daughter was even more outstanding than he thought!

“By the way, Big Ya, you just mentioned that the newly renovated house next door belongs to you, right?”

“Yes,” Ni Cuihua nodded, “The interior has been renovated, but Yangyang said we should let it air out. So we have not moved in yet and plan to do so when the weather turns cold.”

Zhou Danni continued, “Then, Big Ya, you must take me to see your new house.”

“Sure,” Ni Cuihua said, “Come with me.”

The two sisters walked arm in arm toward the new house next door.

Old Zhao quietly followed behind the two, playing the role of an invisible man.

In a blink of an eye, only Ni Yang and Shangguan Dehui were left in the room.

“Yangyang.”

“What’s the matter, Uncle Shangguan?” Ni Yang looked up at Shangguan Dehui.

Shangguan Dehui said, “Uncle has a presumptuous request.”

“Go ahead.”

Shangguan Dehui hesitated for a moment, then said, “If you’re free tomorrow morning, could I invite you for a meal?”

It was obvious that Big Ya cherished her daughter very much, so some things had to be approved by Ni Yang first.

Ni Yang nodded, “Sure.”

The next day, Ni Yang arrived on time at the restaurant where she was supposed to meet Shangguan Dehui.

“Uncle Shangguan.”

“Yangyang, what would you like to eat?” Shangguan Dehui handed her the menu.

Ni Yang casually ordered a few dishes, closed the menu, and said, “Uncle Shangguan, the reason you asked me here today is that you have something to say to me, right?”

Having been bluntly called out by Ni Yang, Shangguan Dehui wasn’t embarrassed, he just nodded directly.

“Uncle Shangguan, feel free to speak your mind.”@@novelbin@@
