Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 180 - 179: Catching Gao Jiaxing (Monthly Pass 760+)
Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Catching Gao Jiaxing (Monthly Pass 760+)
Throughout the journey by oxcart out of the production team, Xia Xiao did not see Gao Jiaxing and wondered if he was angry because she didn’t allow him to follow. By the time Xia Xiao entered the city and wanted to shake off Gu Weiguo, she heard from Shitou that Gao Jiaxing was following behind.
Xia Xiao was utterly speechless.
That meant she still had to take the train and car back to the city and could not use the "space."
The atmosphere outside was indeed very tense, and the style was extremely stringent. The streets were crowded with people hurrying along, and it was the same at the train station, where the inspection was very strict.
Once aboard the train, Xia Xiao acted as though she didn’t know that Gao Jiaxing had also boarded; by now, she couldn’t stop him, and he obviously did not feel at ease. Even if she told him, he would still follow, so she might as well pretend not to know.
Nevertheless, because of Shitou’s involvement, she dimmed her own brilliance, making herself less conspicuous. During this special period, Xia Xiao did not want to draw attention.
Gu Weiguo was in the same carriage as Xia Xiao, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Xia Xiao could sleep, unlike her previous unfamiliar and uncomfortable train journeys.
Nothing happened on the train, and the men and women were very orderly, maintaining a certain distance as everyone kept an eye on each other.
"Educated Youth Xia, you’re returning to the city."
"Power comes from the barrel of a gun," Xia Xiao replied.
"I’m the conductor for this carriage. If Educated Youth Xia needs anything, you can find me."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fang," Xia Xiao responded, and Fang Yuan left without coming back to bother her.
When the train reached the city, Xia Xiao thought of seeing her family and felt somewhat elated.
As she disembarked, Gu Weiguo walked out of the station with her. Thinking of Gao Jiaxing following behind, Xia Xiao was somewhat distracted, not knowing what to say about the boy.
Xia Xiao planned to catch Gao Jiaxing after Gu Weiguo left and then go find Xia Chunrong.
Unexpectedly, right outside the station, she met two women who were clearly mother and daughter. Despite the patches on their clothes, they were neatly dressed and had a distinct aura.
"Weiguo."
"Mom, Sis."
Xia Xiao immediately knew they were Gu Weiguo’s family. She did not follow them, standing still instead, waiting for Gu Weiguo’s family to leave before she went to look for Gao Jiaxing. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to leave early, but she didn’t want Gu Weiguo to see Gao Jiaxing here.
Xia Xiao turned around but did not see Gao Jiaxing coming out; she also feared that Gao Jiaxing might avoid Gu Weiguo, and then she wouldn’t be able to find him, nor could she find Gao Jiaxing.
"Who is that, coming back with you?"
Following the woman’s voice, Xia Xiao received a piercing glare from two pairs of eyes but pretended not to notice.
Gu Weiguo said, "Mom, Sis, this is Educated Youth Xia from our production team, the one I mentioned before. She’s also from our city."
"Okay." Gu Weiguo’s mother and sister no longer looked at Xia Xiao, and said to Gu Weiguo, "Let’s go, let’s go home."
"Wait a minute." Gu Weiguo approached Xia Xiao and said, "Xia Xiao, let us give you a ride."
Xia Xiao quickly shook her head, "No need, just go back with your mom and your sister. My brother is coming to pick me up; thank you, but really, it’s not necessary."
"Weiguo, aren’t you coming?" urged Gu Weiguo’s mother.
"His dad is still waiting; hurry up," his sister added.
Xia Xiao ignored Gu Weiguo and his family; she wasn’t fond of them, as it seemed they were assuming she was trying to cling to their family.
Gu Weiguo had no choice but to leave with his mother and sister, but before departing, he said to Xia Xiao, "We’ll go back to the production team together later."
Xia Xiao vigorously shook her head, "No need. We’re not on the same schedule."
"I’ll come to find you later," Gu Weiguo said as he left with his mother and sister.
Once Gu Weiguo was gone, Xia Xiao turned back and could not see Gao Jiaxing, that boy. She said to Shitou, "Shitou, help me look for Gao Jiaxing. I don’t know where he’s hiding."
"He’s hiding behind that column."
As soon as Shitou spoke, Xia Xiao went behind the column and indeed caught an embarrassed Gao Jiaxing. freёweɓnovel_com
"Xiaoxiao, how did you know I was here?" Gao Jiaxing, also unexpected that Xia Xiao would find him, smiled at her, "I just wanted to make sure you were safe at home, then I would head back."
"Let’s go," Xia Xiao said to Gao Jiaxing.
"Has your brother fetched you yet? I’ll buy a ticket back in a moment." Gao Jiaxing still didn’t want Xia Xiao to be mad at him; if he didn’t come to make sure she was safe, he wouldn’t have been at ease at home either, so he followed.
"What are you mad about, just come on," Xia Xiao chided Gao Jiaxing lightly, feeling somewhat pleased inside.
She knew, if she didn’t drag him out, he would quietly return to the production team after making sure she was safe.
But since he had come all this way, she naturally wouldn’t let him just go back, and Gao Jiaxing boarding the train had also prepared Xia Xiao mentally.
If she really didn’t want Gao Jiaxing to come, or detested his coming, she had plenty of ways to deal with it.
So now that she had caught Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao planned to bring Gao Jiaxing back with her.
Gao Jiaxing, hearing that Xia Xiao was bringing him to meet her parents, was thrilled yet anxious and somewhat hesitant, "Isn’t this too sudden?"
"It’s fine, since you’re already here, let’s meet them now, just a bit early," Xia Xiao said.
On hearing this, Gao Jiaxing became delighted, taking it as Xia Xiao’s heartfelt acceptance and recognition of him. He hurriedly said, "Xiaoxiao, let me take your luggage." He didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.
Xia Xiao paused, realizing she hardly had anything in her luggage bag, and hesitated but Gao Jiaxing had already taken it, so she let him carry it.
Once outside, upon meeting Xia Chunrong, Xia Chunrong’s eyes widened when he saw Gao Jiaxing standing next to Xia Xiao.
"Little sister, who is this?" Xia Chunrong asked sternly looking at Gao Jiaxing.
"He’s the son of our production team leader, Gao Jiaxing," Xia Xiao explained.
"Why did you bring the team leader’s son back with you without telling the family?" Xia Chunrong thought about how quickly his sister had brought back a boyfriend, feeling quite upset.
Even if he was a male educated youth, it could be because they returned to the city together, but the team leader’s son coming back with his sister couldn’t be without implications.
How could she say, she hadn’t planned on bringing him back, but now that they were in the city, she might as well meet the parents early.
"Brother Gao, this is my brother Xia Chunrong," Xia Xiao introduced.
"Hello, big brother," Gao Jiaxing called out to Xia Chunrong, somewhat nervous in front of his future brother-in-law.
