Chapter 1025: Chapter 588: Reminiscence

By the pond.

A few fallen leaves drifted with the wind, landing on the water surface, creating ripples.

Not only Yan Bo, but also Boss Yang’s father-in-law, Tang Yaohan, was equally shocked.

From great joy to deep sorrow, and then to the awkwardness of discovering the truth, the intense emotional turbulence, according to Old Man Tang, was very damaging to the internal organs.

In contrast, happiness is always built on someone else’s pain, Jiang Ning lifted the fishing rod, a two-pound carp broke through the water surface, soared up, Jiang Ning, using Spiritual Power, intentionally added some light effects to it.

Several times the sunlight adhered to the fish scales, as the fish tail flicked, radiating extremely dazzling brilliance.

The people around the pond, at this moment, were all blinded, like in ancient online games, after defeating the world BOSS, the legendary golden weapon that exploded, extremely eye-catching.

“Today’s main course is set!” Xue Yuantong leapt with joy, already planning what to cook for lunch.

Boss Yang silently changed the fishing line for his father-in-law.

Yan Bo sat by the pond, silently watching this scene, double the stimulation made him feel immense pressure.

However, having run a factory, his mindset was firm, Yan Bo exhaled, planning to find an excuse, claiming there were no fish in the pond, but thinking of that young man’s harvest, that excuse probably wouldn’t work.

So he said: “It’s been a long time since I fished, the feel is unfamiliar, I’ll try my luck by the river.”

Saying this, Yan Bo walked towards the parking area.

He wasn’t worried about Jiang Ning and the others leaving, because all those who came to fish near the pond were guests of Boss Yang, so they would definitely have lunch at the rural tourism farm.

Yan Bo didn’t want to waste more time, he planned to try another method.

He started his newly purchased BMW and drove towards the urban area.

Jiang Ning continued fishing by the pond for a while longer, until 10:30, then picked up the water bucket, surrounded by Tongtong and Chuchu, returning with a full load.

Tang Yaohan, upon seeing this, habitually said in an educational tone: “Young folks are impatient, sit a while longer, maybe you’ll get a bigger catch.”

Jiang Ning: “It’s enough to eat.”

Tang Yaohan shook his head: “Still too young, can’t sit still!”

Xue Yuantong praised: “It’s the old grandpa who’s patient, stayed all morning without catching a single fish.”

Tang Yaohan was too annoyed to respond.

…

Urban area.

Second floor of Blue Horse Square.

Shen Qing’e, Jiang Yanan, Yu Wen, the three girls had just finished browsing a boutique, where small items weren’t cheap. Shen Qing’e made an excuse saying she didn’t like anything, and bought nothing.

However, Jiang Yanan bought a bottle of nail polish, a few hair clips and ornaments, costing over a hundred yuan at checkout.

Shen Qing’e was secretly surprised, not showing it on her face.

Although she had been studying in the urban area for over a year, her parents still worked in coastal cities. Due to the era’s development and economic soaring, the factory’s efficiency worsened, and her parents’ salaries decreased slightly.

Her monthly living expenses hadn’t increased for over a year.

In this lifetime, without Jiang Ning’s support, her living conditions had declined significantly.

Previously when with Jiang Ning, he would buy her meals, pay some phone bills etc., to help out a bit.

After browsing the boutique, they went to the third floor to play the claw machine, but unfortunately, with the gambling nature of those machines, Jiang Yanan and Yu Wen each spent 20 bucks, all in vain, not catching a single toy.

Yu Wen was annoyed, wishing to vent on the claw machine: “The boss must have deliberately set it that way, the hook’s shaking so much, who could catch a toy?”

Jiang Yanan said: “Yeah, unless someone has exceptional skills.”

“Even with good skills, can’t catch.” Shen Qing’e said, with impeccable skills, still couldn’t outmatch the hook’s shakes. She saw through these tricks, thus wouldn’t waste her money.

Jiang Yanan didn’t stand with Shen Qing’e’s perspective, she said: “That’s not true, Jiang Ning is very good at catching toys, always gets one every time.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing’e instinctively asked: “Where did you hear that?”

“Xue Yuantong’s QQ space, she posted many times, showing off lots of toys, I even DM’d her asking, she said Jiang Ning caught them.” Jiang Yanan fantasized while speaking, “If only someone could catch toys for me.”

From childhood to now, she had no idea how much money had been taken by those claw machines, if she could have a talented boyfriend to help her take revenge, that feeling would be simply incomparable.

Imagine walking in a mall with her boyfriend, catching a bunch of toys, hands full, while nearby girls, struggling hard, couldn’t catch a single toy, just imagining it, her vanity exploded, didn’t it?

Jiang Yanan’s casual comment, however, planted a seed in Shen Qing’e’s heart.

She wanted to continue asking Jiang Yanan about Xue Yuantong’s QQ updates, but asking like that would seem like she cared a lot about Jiang Ning.

Especially since Jiang Yanan and Yu Wen now knew she and Jiang Ning came from the same school.

The lower the origin, the less one wants others to look down upon them, so Shen Qing’e didn’t ask, anyway, she could directly check Xue Yuantong’s space later.

“Qiqi’s here, she says she’s on the first floor at the Phoenix Gold Store, let’s go.” Jiang Yanan took out her phone.

“Going down again?” Yu Wen complained, they had just arrived on the 3rd floor.

The three girls soon arrived downstairs, and upon entering the gold store, they were greeted by bright lights and carefully arranged displays, with various gold ornaments, rings, and necklaces glowing within the glass showcases.

The most common stores in the mall were gold stores, Shen Qing’e, being a high school student, had come to look but as for purchasing, she never thought about it, as these adornments weren’t necessities and were far out of her financial reach.

Lu Qiqi stood beside a young man, and a uniformed store clerk was explaining the products to them.

Lu Qiqi, seeing the three girls, showed a bright smile.

Lu Qiqi deliberately called the sisters over, while they had a good relationship, there was also a sense of competition, she wanted to show off a bit in front of her sisters.
