Quick Wear: Why did the male protagonist fall in love with the vicious villain again?

Chapter 579: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (183)

Jiang Yingchu arrived in Qingyang City and went straight to the local Qingyang Money Exchange.

Xiao Tang quickly followed behind.

However, she had difficulty walking and was too slow, so she was quickly left behind by Jiang Yingchu.

Xiao Tang could only be one step slower.

However, by the time she finally arrived at the money exchange, Jiang Yingchu had already come out.

Moreover, they were kicked out.

"..."

Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran in front of Jiang Yingchu and reached out to block the two fierce-looking servants.

"Oh, so the young lady has servants. No wonder she was so upright just now."

"Miss, don't you know that the money exchange has changed its name? We didn't beat you because you're a woman."

One of the servants rolled his eyes, then suddenly bypassed Xiao Tang and scrutinized Jiang Yingchu's face as if he were examining an object.

A lewd smile suddenly appeared on the servant's face.

“Miss Jiang, if you’re really short of money, you can go to a brothel and ask around. With your looks…”

Xiao Tang suddenly shoved that...

The servant next to him quickly stepped forward to help his companion.

"How dare you! You dare to lay a hand on our bank..."

Xiao Tang swayed, and the hood covering her face fell down, revealing a pale and stiff face that looked extremely ferocious and terrifying due to her anger.

"!"

The two servants were startled when they saw Xiaotang's face.

"You...you all get out of here! Don't dirty our money exchange's premises!"

After the two servants finished their threats, they turned around and ran back to the money exchange, their voices echoing as they ran.

"Where did this ugly woman find to be her servant...?"

"They look really creepy, like they're not even alive..."

"..."

Xiao Tang watched them enter the money exchange before slowly putting her hood back on.

She turned her head, intending to help Jiang Yingchu, but was pushed away by a hand.

Jiang Yingchu, her eyes red, walked back without saying a word.

Xiao Tang paused for a moment, then silently followed Jiang Yingchu.

Jiang Yingchu walked all the way to the ferry crossing before realizing that the small boat that had brought them there had already left.

"..."

Jiang Yingchu dug her nails into her palm, glared angrily at Xiao Tang, and then turned and walked down another path.

Xiao Tang struggled to keep up with Jiang Yingchu's pace, stammering as she spoke from behind.

"Miss...where are you going?"

"..."

Jiang Yingchu ignored Xiao Tang and kept walking forward with her head down.

Because she didn't know where she could go.

She has no home anymore...

She came to Qingyang City specifically because...

That's where my father once ran a money exchange.

She remembered that when her father's men found her at the clinic, they thought she was down on her luck and specifically mentioned that her father had a money exchange in Qingyang City. They said that she could withdraw money as long as she gave her name and revealed her identity.

However, since her brother had already helped her, she did not go.

In Jiang Yingchu's mind, there was no way her father's people wouldn't recognize her.

Even though Jinghong Manor has fallen on hard times, it is still my father's money shop.

But she never expected that the money exchange would not only disown her, but also the former Jinghong Manor. She was almost chased out with a broom, and the servant even dared to swear at her...

Jiang Yingchu wandered around like a headless fly, and somehow ended up in the mountains.

It was getting dark.

Jiang Yingchu was stunned when he saw the surrounding mountains and forests darkening.

This mountain...

It's the place where she once fell off the cliff...

I heard the intermittent sound of footsteps crunching on leaves behind me.

"Miss……"

Jiang Yingchu suddenly erupted.

"Why do you still call me 'Miss'? Are you mocking me?!"

Xiao Tang froze, stunned: "..."

If we don't call her "Miss," what else can we call her?

Jiang Yingchu turned around, her eyes bloodshot, her voice sharp and piercing.

"Aren't you very smug? Seeing that the master you once served is an even more incompetent piece of trash than you, aren't you happy?!"

After regaining consciousness, Jiang Yingchu recognized the person as her former personal maid, Xiao Tang.

The man in black was not Mao You, and he wasn't even a man.

When she found out, she felt dizzy and utterly absurd. All her past delusions seemed like a joke, and it was a great irony and humiliation for her.

Disgusting, so disgusting...

She hated seeing Xiaotang, but she couldn't live without her, so she could only endure it.

But after what happened at the money exchange, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Why did you help me just now? Did you think I couldn't have dealt with them without you?"

"Didn't you leave back then? Didn't you say you were going to take care of your mother? Why did you come back? Why did you come back to save me?!"

"..."

Xiao Tang silently lowered her head.

She actually did visit her mother.

I went there secretly.

Xiao Tang doesn't know how she came to this ancient world.

The body's greatest obsessions are with its young lady and its mother.

However, her strongest desire was to save the young lady, so she followed her heart.

However, after many things happened, she didn't have time to visit her mother.

After she brought her mistress out of the water dungeon, she went to look for her, but to her surprise, Xiaotang's mother was being taken care of and was doing quite well.

So she felt reassured and continued to take care of the young lady.

However, it seems that the young ladies these days are unwilling to let her take care of them...

Tears suddenly welled up in Jiang Yingchu's eyes again.

"Why did you save me? Why did you bring me out? Why...why..."

Why was it Xiaotang who witnessed all her unbearable moments...?

Why did it have to be her former personal maid...?

"I……"

Xiao Tang opened her mouth awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Miss, do you... regret coming out of the water dungeon...?

Xiao Tang looked at the young lady who was wailing loudly.

It seems that, apart from the lack of freedom and the inability to come out, people in the water dungeon actually have no worries about food and drink. They don't need to run around or hide in abandoned ancestral halls just to get a good night's sleep.

She's useless; she can't provide a good life for her mistress.

Xiao Tang looked down at her chapped hands.

However, Miss should be able to get what she wants soon.

Because it seems she doesn't have much time left.

Then she won't bother Miss anymore.

After venting her emotions, Jiang Yingchu angrily pushed Xiao Tang away.

"Get away! Stop following me!"

Xiao Tang didn't want to leave.

Why can't we just walk?

Xiao Tang continued to silently follow Jiang Yingchu.

Jiang Yingchu walked faster and faster, but footsteps could still be heard behind her. Frustrated, she used the only skill she knew, light footwork, and flew away by stepping on tree branches.

Xiao Tang opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Wow……"

So, Miss knows martial arts too...

"..."

A secluded alleyway in Qingyang City.

Jiang Yingchu leaned against the wall for a while to catch her breath.

She had no internal strength at all, and her lightness skill was only superficial.

I just used my lightness skill in a fit of anger, I didn't expect it to still be usable.

But as soon as she released her strength, she almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Xiaotang couldn't keep up.

She doesn't want to see Xiaotang right now.

"..."

Jiang Yingchu let out a breath, finally feeling better.

She stepped out of the alley and saw what looked like a night market. Lanterns hung along the entire street, and people were coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

Jiang Yingchu was walking slowly down the street when she suddenly saw a large crowd gathered by the lake, which puzzled her.

Is today... a holiday?

Why are there so many people?

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out.

Jiang Yingchu subconsciously raised her head.

A cluster of fireworks exploded in the sky above the center of the lake.

Immediately afterwards, countless colorful fireworks rose into the air, like vibrant flowers blooming one after another in the night sky.

Jiang Yingchu paused for a moment, then walked towards the lake.

The stone steps along the lake shore were already crowded with people, and Jiang Yingchu could hear a cacophony of exclamations and laughter.

Wow! It's so beautiful!

"There really were fireworks! They were so beautiful!"

Jiang Yingchu stood behind, quietly gazing up at the fireworks filling the sky.

So beautiful.

Watching these fireworks seems to allow one to temporarily forget the ugliness and troubles of reality, and simply immerse oneself in appreciating the fireworks.

Just then, someone next to Jiang Yingchu said, "By the way, who prepared these fireworks?"

"Don't you know? He's the leader of the martial arts alliance."

"Leader of the Wulin Alliance?"

"Yes, I heard that the leader of the martial arts alliance set off fireworks in the middle of the lake to celebrate his wife's birthday."

"Wow, the alliance leader is so good to his wife."

"Yeah yeah."

"..."

Jiang Yingchu stood frozen in place.

"Alliance leader..."

Jiang Yingchu's head suddenly started to hurt again.

Martial Arts Alliance Leader... (Mao You)

No…no…the leader of the martial arts alliance is not Mao You…

Jiang Yingchu's head was throbbing with pain. A white-haired person flashed through her mind, and that person's eyes...

Brother...

Jiang Yingchu's hand was suddenly grabbed.

“Yingchu! I’ve finally found you…”

Jiang Yingchu turned around and saw an old friend.

Mu Nan grabbed Jiang Yingchu with excitement.

"Yingchu, that's great! I came down from the Lingyun Sword Sect and happened to hear about the money exchange. I guessed it might be you, and it really was you!"

"I've been looking for you for so long, Yingchu, where have you been? I heard someone took you away. Who was that person? Did they do anything to harm you?"

Jiang Yingchu frowned and pulled her hand away.

Jiang Yingchu was also a little surprised to see Mu Nan again.

Strangely, however, she felt completely calm and unmoved when it came to Mu Nan.

There was neither love nor hatred.

It seems that this person has truly become insignificant.

Because it was too noisy by the lake, Jiang Yingchu and Mu Nan went to a relatively quiet teahouse.

When the waiter came over to pour tea, Mu Nan took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yingchu.

Jiang Yingchu stared at the teacup on the table: "What do you want to tell me?"

Mu Nan carefully examined Jiang Yingchu's gaunt face, and finally sighed with heartache: "Yingchu, you've suffered."

"..."

Jiang Yingchu remained silent.

Mu Nan: "Those three years..."

Jiang Yingchu interrupted Mu Nan: "Thank you."

"...Ying Chu?"

Jiang Yingchu's face had lost all its girlish innocence; her expression was numb and cold: "Back then, I had hysteria and did many bad things. Thank you for taking care of me, but I don't have enough to repay you now..."

"No! No need for repayment!"

Mu Nan said excitedly, "I did it willingly, Yingchu. I don't need you to repay me."

"..."

Jiang Yingchu glanced at Mu Nan and suddenly asked, "Mu Nan, do you still like me?"

Mu Nan paused, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face: "Yes..."

Jiang Yingchu then asked, "Will you marry me?"

"I……"

Mu Nan fell silent.

He could love her and take care of her for a lifetime, but he could never marry her.

Because Jiang Yingchu is the daughter of an enemy.

Despite having avenged his family, he would still feel ashamed to face his deceased relatives if he married Jiang Yingchu.

"..."

Looking at the silent Mu Nan, Jiang Yingchu suddenly realized that love is truly the most worthless thing.

It's pointless to both hate and love someone.

It's better to have the three strings of cash I have left.

Mu Nan awkwardly avoided Jiang Yingchu's gaze.

“Yingchu, come with me. I can take care of you and won’t let you wander outside.”

"Wandering?"

"Yes, you are a weak woman with no man to rely on. It would be terrible if you encountered danger."

"..."

Mu Nan extended his hand: "Come with me, I have a house that's perfect for..."

"No need."

Jiang Yingchu stood up: "Young Master Mu, I will repay what I owe you, but as for the rest, let's just forget about it."

Mu Nan said anxiously, "How can we let this go? I'm really worried about you, a woman, wandering around outside all by yourself."

Jiang Yingchu didn't explain: "This has nothing to do with Young Master Mu, because the two of us have never had any relationship."

"Ying Chu..."

"Men and women are different, so Young Master Mu, you don't need to keep looking for me, otherwise it will be very troublesome for me."

Mu Nan stared blankly at the empty seat opposite him.

Jiang Yingchu left without even drinking a sip of tea.

"..."

Xiao Tang stood across the street, tiptoed, and looked up at the window of the teahouse upstairs.

Mu Nan has found the young lady.

Will Miss go with Mu Nan?

But Miss doesn't like Mu Nan anymore.

But Mu Nan is rich and can give Miss a good life, so whether she likes it or not doesn't matter, right?

Xiao Tang was still deep in thought when her arm was patted.

Jiang Yingchu said coldly, "What are you standing there for?"

Xiao Tang stared blankly at Jiang Yingchu: "Miss..."

Jiang Yingchu turned and left.

Xiao Tang started silently following behind Jiang Yingchu again.

Jiang Yingchu found an inn and spent two hundred coins to reserve a superior room.

We didn't book two rooms because Xiaotang doesn't need to sleep.

Jiang Yingchu sat down on the bed in the room and said irritably, "What are you looking at again? Don't we still have money?"

"..."

Xiao Tang lowered her head and picked at her fingers.

But at this rate of spending, they'll be broke in no time...

Jiang Yingchu lay on the bed, tossing and turning restlessly.

Because her head still hurt.

She had a headache while talking to Mu Nan, so she left without much patience.

Fragments of memories kept flashing through Jiang Yingchu's mind.

One moment she's the woman who ran away from her wedding before her rebirth, and the next she's the woman who accidentally fell into a well while throwing a tantrum for Mu Nan.

Memories returned to this life.

After her rebirth, she joyfully embraced her family whom she had lost and found again.

One by one they fell before her.

Blood……

So much blood...

pain!

Jiang Yingchu clutched her head and cried out in pain.

Xiao Tang was startled and quickly went to the bedside, skillfully rubbing Jiang Yingchu's head.

Under Xiao Tang's massage, Jiang Yingchu's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and he finally fell asleep.

Xiao Tang stopped massaging him and extinguished the candle. She stayed by Jiang Yingchu's bedside like a shadow.
