Chapter 164: Chapter 164: You Look So Stupid, It’s Ugly!

“This guy is so fierce, Jinfeng, are you really interested in him?” Yu Xiaochan asked.

He Jinfeng was determined, grabbing a lush crape myrtle by the roadside, “Yeah, he’s fierce, but that’s only because he doesn’t know me. I don’t believe he’s this fierce with people he knows.”

Yu Xiaochan replied, “That’s true. I noticed he’s not fierce with Yu Guolong. However, he’s just a country bumpkin, looking so arrogant. I really can’t understand it!”

Almost as if to say Jiang Xingye doesn’t know what’s good for him and lacks awareness of his status.

He Jinfeng slightly curled her lips, her eyes shining, as if she saw Jiang Xingye, this proud man, bowing down to her.

The harder a peak is to climb, the more challenging it is. Once you reach the top, it gives you a great sense of achievement.

However, the problem at hand is that this guy doesn’t even glance at her, which is quite bothersome.

He Jinfeng was the belle of the factory and also someone who looked down on others, so she felt that she and Jiang Xingye were the same kind of person. She could understand his arrogance and believed that once Jiang Xingye saw her, he would subconsciously be attracted to her.

Yu Guolong entered the workshop and saw Jiang Xingye already measuring parts. He watched for a while and then asked, “Did you see those two women earlier?”

Jiang Xingye remained silent.

“The pretty one is our Vice Factory Director He’s daughter. Everyone says she’s the flower of the factory. It looks like she’s interested in you. What do you think? Let’s go watch a movie tonight,” Yu Guolong suggested.

To get close to the vice factory director’s daughter, what a great thing! It would easily secure a formal position in the factory in the future.

Yu Guolong knew that Jiang Xingye came from a rural area; this time, he was here to make things for the production team.

Jiang Xingye didn’t even lift his head, “I have a fiancée.”

“Ah, is she from your place?” Yu Guolong almost said, “Did you find a village girl?”

Jiang Xingye, without thinking much, thought of Xu Qinghuan, and his heart was filled with sweetness. He also had a longing that tugged at his heartstrings. He experienced the feeling described in books of “a day without seeing feels like three autumns.”

There is sweetness in the bitterness and bitterness in the sweetness.

He wondered what she was doing and whether she had eaten well.

Before leaving, he had filled the rice jar with rice. Had she been reluctant to eat it?

Yu Guolong waved his hand, not daring to accept the cigarette gift from He Jinfeng, which had been given to her father by someone else.

“I can’t take this, Comrade He. It’s not that I’m not willing to help you, but mainly Comrade Jiang is already engaged, he has a fiancée.”

He Jinfeng frowned, “His fiancée must be a local too, just a village girl. I don’t believe he’s willing to marry a village girl and stay in the countryside all his life.”

Yu Guolong understood the implied meaning, “That’s right! If he can marry a city girl, with some effort, wouldn’t he be able to find a city job in the future?”

“This year, the machinery factory is hiring, and if Master Cao can put in a good word for him in the factory, he’ll definitely have a chance to get in,” He Jinfeng didn’t mind revealing such secrets about the factory hiring.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingye, upon hearing this, didn’t even lift his eyelids and directly rejected, “No need!”

If he could, he would be willing to stay in the mountains with Huanhuan for the rest of his life, in a place with no one else, living together forever.

Just the two of them.

Yu Guolong was puzzled, “How wonderful is your fiancée?”

Our factory flower isn’t bad at all!

Jiang Xingye’s expression softened a bit; how wonderful is she? She’s the best girl in the world, an obsession he never wants to let go of his entire life.

“Wonderful! The best!” Jiang Xingye’s voice was light, but his tone was firm and unshakable.

Around seven or eight o’clock in the evening, it was already dark, with a bit of work left for Jiang Xingye to do the next morning. He left the workshop to go back.

He temporarily stayed at Grandpa Qin’s place, not needing to stay at the guesthouse, and planned to stay only one or two days, so he hadn’t gone to the brigade office to get an introduction letter.

When he reached the alley, he heard a noise. The short blade Xu Qinghuan gave him wasn’t with him, so he pried a blue brick from the corner to hold in his hand.

“Get him!”

A low shout, and five or six youths surrounded him. From their expressions, it was clear they were street punks, some wielding sticks, others brandishing machetes, all coming at Jiang Xingye.

Jiang Xingye dodged, kicking the one with the machete into the encirclement. The youth yelped in pain.

The group quickly revealed their “weapons,” attacking Jiang Xingye again, who jumped onto the walls on either side to avoid their assault, and when he landed, he swept his leg, causing two more to fall.

The two felt a piercing pain in their shoulders from his kick, calling out in agony.

The remaining two didn’t dare to challenge him any further, retreating cautiously.

This was clearly a losing deal, and no one had told them this guy was so good at fighting!

“Stop!”

A clear shout rang out, and everyone on the ground, and those not yet on the ground, scrambled up and ran out. The blue brick in Jiang Xingye’s hand flew out, hitting the last person squarely, causing him to lurch forward and crash into the person running ahead of him, knocking him to the ground.

Face met the ground with intimate contact!

Thus, not a single person escaped unscathed!

He Jinfeng rushed over, witnessing everything, and for a moment didn’t know how to proceed, but she wasn’t willing to let the opportunity she created slip away. She quickly went forward to support Jiang Xingye, “Comrade Jiang, it’s you. Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Jiang Xingye dodged, leaving He Jinfeng grasping at air. He didn’t pay attention to the people on the ground. Normally, he should turn these guys into the police station, but his reputation was already not good, and spreading it around would only say he was a thug fighting with street punks.

Before, he didn’t care about that, but now that he had a fiancée, he didn’t want Xu Qinghuan to worry or be disappointed in him.

So, he left without looking back.

He Jinfeng chased after him, shouting, “Comrade Jiang, do you know who those people who attacked you are? Shouldn’t we report it?”

Jiang Xingye paused, turning to look at her with eyes as if staring at an idiot, “Really ugly!” he said coldly.

“What did you say?” He Jinfeng’s expression dramatically changed, incredulous, was he blind? How was she ugly? She was clearly known as a beauty at the machinery factory!

Jiang Xingye laughed derisively, a fierce light in his eyes, “You look really stupid and ugly in this act!”

He Jinfeng trembled with anger, not only calling her ugly but now saying she’s stupid!

But she also understood that Jiang Xingye saw through the trap she set.

At this point, He Jinfeng was unwilling to back down, blocking Jiang Xingye’s path, “Comrade Jiang, I mean no harm. I just want to get to know you. My father is the vice factory director of the machinery plant;

if you break off the engagement with your fiancée and marry me, I guarantee you’ll soon have a formal job in the city!”

Jiang Xingye looked at her coldly, “You’re ugly, but your dreams are quite beautiful!”

With that, he bypassed He Jinfeng, afraid of being pestered, and hurried away on flying feet.

He Jinfeng was infuriated; she didn’t expect Jiang Xingye to be so ungrateful and turned around to vent her anger on the five men, “What’s wrong with you? You all let him see through it.”

The crew-cut leader said, “Sister Feng, five bucks each definitely doesn’t cut it; we’re badly hurt, at least a hundred each.”

“Are you robbing me? A hundred each? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money for you?” He Jinfeng exclaimed.

“Do you know how well that guy can fight? We almost lost our lives; are you giving it or not?” The crew-cut guy wasn’t easily intimidated.

What a joke, his shoulder blades were fractured; he wouldn’t be able to move for at least three months, and a trip to the hospital wasn’t cheap.

He Jinfeng took two hundred and twenty bucks from her pocket and handed it to them, “Here, there’s no more!”

At forty-four each, it wasn’t too little, and the crew-cut guy reluctantly let He Jinfeng go.

The moment Jiang Xingye entered the door, Song Shimian asked, “Got into a fight? Be careful your little wife finds out!”

Jiang Xingye scratched his nose, “Uncle Song, the next time you run into her, don’t let her know.”

Song Shimian scoffed, “What, planning to hide it from your wife? Let me tell you, if you dare to lie once, people will never trust you for life.”

Jiang Xingye took this to heart, pondering the thought.
