Chapter 67

Chapter 67 – I’m beautiful! (2)

Chu Qiao looked at Xu Bilian’s belly and it was still flat, but at least it had been more than a month, and Xu Bilian had an accidental miscarriage within half a month in the previous life.

Xu Bilian followed her gaze and touched her belly involuntarily. What Chu Qiao said was reasonable. If she was pregnant with Gu Jianshe’s child, Gu Jianshe would have to marry her.

Her heart skipped a beat. Xu Bilian suddenly remembered that her period seemed to be delayed. It had been delayed for half a month. Could it be that she really has it?

Xu Bilian calmed down her excitement, she didn’t show the slightest bit on the surface. Then she snorted at Chu Qiao proudly, “I don’t need you to take care of my affairs. Just take care of yourself. You don’t have a job and don’t have hukou, you’re also a drag oil bottle1. Humph… As if there are any good men who want to marry you, you can only marry an old widower!”

1拖油瓶 tuo you ping : drag oil bottle ; child of a previous marriage living with the family of the second husband.

“That’s not necessarily. Although I have no job and no hukou, but I am beautiful!”

Chu Qiao deliberately said angry words. In fact, she never thought of that beauty as a woman’s weapon. But she knew that Xu Bilian had always been concerned about her appearance, so these words would definitely piss off this woman.

As expected, Xu Bilian was so angry that she almost snapped her teeth. She took out the white sandals from the shop window and slammed them on the counter. Chu Qiao tried them on, and felt they were just right, it was not too big or too small, and the style was quite fashionable.

“Make a bill.”

Chu Qiao was too lazy to choose any more. The styles of the current sandals were almost the same style now. She had no interest in shopping at all.

“9.80 yuan.”

After Xu Bilian made the bill, Chu Qiao went to pay the money, she took the sandals and went to the cloth cabinet side. She picked out a lavender color, a light green color, and three pieces of red rose color. All of them were good material of dacron polyester fiber. She liked simple clothes, and didn’t like the ones which were too flashy and gaudy.

She also bought two sets of undergarments and panties of better quality, which were made from pure cotton. She spent more than 30 yuan. Chu Qiao was not used to wearing poor quality underwear. Moreover, undergarment was the most important thing. If she didn’t wear it properly, her chest shape would be ugly.

She had spent 70 yuan, so there were only a dozen yuan left. Chu sighed, she really couldn’t help spending the money. Fortunately, she would be able to earn money soon, 50 yuan for a night. She just needed to work for half a year, and she would be able to afford to buy a house.

When she passed the shoe counter, Xu Bilian was really gone. Chu Qiao went to inquire, the other salespersons said that she had something to do at home and asked for leave.

Chu Qiao could already guess in her heart that Xu Bilian had jumped into the pit that she had dug.

In fact, she was also doing good deeds. In the previous life, the child died unexpectedly. In this life, the child should be able to survive and live well. Saving a life was better than building a seven tiered pagoda2.

2Saving a life is better than building a seven tiered pagoda : a seven-tiered pagoda symbolizes the seven treasures of Buddhism. They are difficult and time-consuming to make. Possession or creation of one helps to acquire benevolence. The saying means that a life is more valuable than objects and that instead of wasting time building something to give you compassion and generosity, you should practice what you preach and put benevolence to work.

After leaving the gate of the department store, Chu Qiao thought for a while, then she went to a public phone booth, and called Xingda Machine Tool Factory. She always remembered this phone number. She had called Gu Jianshe countless times in her previous life, and she had memorized it by heart.

“I’m looking for Section Chief Gu Ye.” Chu Qiao said.

“I am, are you Chu Qiao?”

It was Gu Ye who answered the phone. He had just returned to work in the machine tool factory. Unexpectedly, the little fairy would call him?

Could it be that the little fairy was also missing him?

Gu Ye’s face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Several subordinates beside him were so surprised to see him like that. Chief Gu was so serious when he was at work, he didn’t talk or laugh. Even when he saw the factory director, he didn’t have any good complexion. Just who was the caller of this phone that actually let Section Chief Gu laugh so unrestrained?

It must be a woman.

And also a beautiful woman.

“I have something to tell you. Xu Bilian should have gone to the hospital for a check-up. But I don’t know which hospital it is. It’s definitely not her mother’s hospital.” Chu Qiao said.

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, “What did you say to her?”
