Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born
Chapter 122 The most familiar stranger
Zeng Ping returned home and shouted to his wife while changing his shoes as soon as he entered the door: "Wife, Jiang Jie is awake. I went to the hospital today and found that she was awake."
Zeng's wife, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, heard Zeng Ping's words and dropped the spoon in her hand to the ground without warning, making a loud bang. Zeng Ping thought his wife was in trouble, so he ran into the kitchen wearing one slipper and one leather shoe, and saw his wife bending over to pick up the spoon on the ground, and then put it under the faucet to rinse it. She kept saying, "Sorry, sorry, what did you say just now? The kitchen range hood was too noisy, and I didn't hear it clearly."
Zeng Ping did not doubt it and repeated, "I just told you the good news. Jiang Jie woke up. She has been lying in bed for twenty years and finally woke up."
Zeng's wife was busy cooking in the pot, forcing a smile on her face: "That's great, she finally woke up, you don't have to worry about her every day anymore."
"Oh, that's right. I don't have to go to the hospital every day anymore." Zeng Ping felt very upset when he remembered that Jiang Jie no longer recognized him and had decided to leave.
"Are you going to take her home to take care of her?" Zeng's wife misunderstood Zeng Ping's intention when she heard him say this. She asked excitedly, "I don't agree. I don't mind if you go to the hospital to see her every day. If you want to bring her home, I won't accept it."
Zeng Ping, who seldom saw this side of his wife, quickly put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her: "What are you talking about? How could she possibly come to our house? Now she remembers everything except me. I am nothing in her heart and eyes."
Hearing what her husband said, Zeng’s wife felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
"She remembers the whole world but forgets you. Is that what you mean?" she asked cautiously.
"I came back to tell you about this. She wants to leave here and sell all the property under her name. Including the store you are running now. After all, it was opened with her compensation money, so it is natural for her to sell it." Zeng Ping was afraid that his wife would be angry, so he carefully watched her facial expression as he spoke.
"Of course I should. Although I have been managing this shop, it belongs to someone else after all. I am just an employee. Did she say how much she wants to sell it for?" Zeng's wife was reluctant to do so. After all, she had been running the shop for more than 20 years and had deep feelings for it.
They didn't say how much it would cost, they just said it was up to us to decide and if we wanted, we had first choice.
Zeng Ping wanted to laugh when he recalled the wonderful expression on Jiang Jie's face when he first mentioned these assets in the hospital. She certainly didn't expect that I would always keep her things for her. She must have thought that I had taken all her things for myself.
At that time, her friend said calmly: "We just talked about this. I just didn't expect Mr. Zeng to be so righteous and keep her things for so many years. You can't blame her for having such thoughts. After all, you broke up, and it was such a tragic ending. Although she doesn't remember you, those things still happened. She can easily find out if she wants to." The implication is that Jiang Jie looked into the accident 20 years ago when she woke up.
Zeng Ping had an illusion that Jiang Jie in the wheelchair was really a stranger to him, but what about the Jiang Jie whom he had only met once? How could he feel so familiar?
"You mean, she asked us to deal with it, and we have the right of first refusal?" Zeng's wife was happy. She just thought that this shop would no longer belong to her. She felt very disappointed. If she could buy it back, she could still own it. All the income would belong to her family in the future. How wonderful it would be.
"Yes, she is leaving tomorrow and will only take what she can take with her, so when you have time, pack her clothes and jewelry into a box, and I will send them to her at the hospital tomorrow." Zeng Ping gave these instructions and went to the restaurant to clear the table. He didn't want to talk about Jiang Jie anymore. The more he talked about it, the worse he would feel.
Zeng Ping and his wife are not greedy people. The guilt they have always felt towards Jiang Jie has made them take care of her for twenty years, and they have long treated her as a member of the family. Now this person suddenly wakes up, but does not remember them. This is a good thing. The past is not a good memory, but they have lived to take care of her for so many years. This burden is suddenly shaken off, and they feel empty in their hearts. Zeng Ping feels this way, and his wife feels the same way.
"I don't know how much the storefronts in that area have appreciated over the past twenty years. I'm afraid our savings may not be enough." Zeng Ping felt a little anxious when he heard his wife calculating the family savings during dinner.
"I'll go ask her about the price tomorrow." Zeng Ping thought his wife said this to get him to say something nice to Jiang Jie. After all, she had been helping to take care of Jiang Jie since they remarried. Although she never showed up, she was always worried about Jiang Jie behind the scenes.
Seeing that Zeng Ping had misunderstood her meaning, the wife said anxiously, "I didn't ask you to ask for a favor. I just said that I didn't have enough money and couldn't pay it right away, but that doesn't mean I can't pay it in a few days."
Zeng Ping heaved a sigh of relief. His wife was not the kind of person who was greedy for cheap things. Now that he said this, it confirmed his understanding of his wife.
"Okay then. I'll talk to her about extending the time. I don't think she will refuse." Zeng Li knew Jiang Jie well enough and knew that she really would not refuse. However, he did not expect that Jiang Jie had changed her mind.
The next day, Zeng Ping packed all of Jiang Jie's luxury goods into a suitcase and sent it to Jiang Jie, and discussed with her the idea of his family buying the store.
"She has been managing the store. If we suddenly sell it, she won't be able to find a suitable job. So we want to buy it. When we bought the store, the location was not yet developed and it was not very expensive. Now, after 20 years of development, the store has increased in value by many times. Even if we take out a mortgage, we can't afford it right away. Can you give us some time to get some money together?"
Of course the original owner disagreed, but these were not his assets, so only Jiang Jie could make the decision. He just listened quietly to the owner of the assets discussing with Zeng Ping.
"We are not in a hurry to use the money. You can transfer it to her card when it is convenient. It is thanks to your careful care over the years that she is where she is today. We are not the kind of people who don't know how to be grateful, don't worry!"
Zeng Ping saw the original owner's expression and understood that she was unwilling, but the woman next to her agreed. He had that strange feeling again. This woman in the wheelchair was indeed a stranger, but why did Jiang Jie, who was talking to him, give him such a familiar feeling? He shook his head, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind. He was just a little disappointed. He couldn't take his eyes off this woman, just like when he first met her twenty years ago. Jiang Jie gave him this kind of warm feeling at that time. He was moved by her, but he didn't realize it. He always thought that his ex-wife was the only one in his heart, and Jiang Jie was just making do. It wasn't until they remarried and Jiang Jie got into trouble again that he saw his heart clearly. He didn't know when he had fallen in love with Jiang Jie. The fact that he could go in and out of the hospital every day for twenty years was also due to his feelings.
"Thank you. Don't worry, my family won't delay for too long. We will transfer the money to that card as soon as possible." Zeng Ping came to his senses and saw that the two women were still looking at him. The woman in the wheelchair still had a cold expression on her face, while Jiang Jie, who was talking to him beside her, had a gentle expression on her face. This damn familiar feeling made Zeng Ping's eyes red again.
The two women just thought that he was touched. After all, it was not a small amount of money, so they handed it to him with trust.
"You two deserve this. If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened." Jiang Jie ended the conversation for the original owner. When Zeng Ping left, Jiang Jie escorted the original owner out of the ward. After walking a few steps around the ward, Zeng Ping stopped and turned around to look at Jiang Jie.
"I don't mean to offend you by saying this, but I feel really sad if I don't say it out loud." Zeng Ping wanted to express his feelings to Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie knew what he wanted to say just by glancing at him, but she didn't intend to give him a chance to speak out.
"Since Mr. Zeng himself feels that it is inappropriate to say this, then don't say it! We are no different from strangers, but she has a deep prejudice against you, and I am afraid of hurting good people like you, so I spoke up for her. It doesn't mean that I approve of you in my heart. In fact, we are not even friends." Jiang Jie said the most heartless words in the most gentle voice, leaving Zeng Ping speechless for a moment.
