Chapter 0021 – A Newcomer and an Old Guest (2 / 2)

At the appointed time, the single mother arrived at the door of the company on time, and bought fruits and milk for Jiang Xia even though she was struggling to make ends meet.

“Aiya how can this be a good idea, please have a seat.”

Single mother called Li Chunxia, 41 years old, her husband was a real estate company workers, five years ago due to construction accidents suffered an accident, the company through a variety of means her husband’s death is characterized as a result of non-standardized wear safety equipment death, not only do not pay a penny, in turn, a rake, a bite of her husband damaged the site’s equipment, but also paid out five thousand dollars.

“I myself have a disability, I can not do manual labor, before only do housework at home with the children, and do some sewing, after my man is gone, the days are even more bitter. But I thought, no matter how hard it is, you can’t suffer the children, these two children and understand, can’t let them go back to my old way, so I even if I have to work hard, but also have to give the two children to provide a better environment… The government has been very helpful to us, gave me a watchman’s job, and our low-cost housing is the only one that has an independent bathroom.”

Speaking, Li Chunxia wept, and Jiang Xia consciously sent his shoulder forward.

The world’s greatest and most selfless feelings than a mother’s love, right, Jiang Xia from the bottom of his heart to admire the single mother, but also deeply feel her fate of misfortune, she lived such a struggle, but because of the mission to raise two children, had to endure the suffering while praising the sun always rises with a smile.

Jiang Xia told Li Chunxia the news that the constructor will soon start the construction, her emotions became more excited, and she said that she would like to invite a reporter to report on it.

“This time, the most thankful ones have to be you and Boss Cheng, I’ve heard that Boss Cheng has saved me another sum of money, I…I have nothing, I really don’t know how to thank you…”

“Why, why are you so outgoing…” it took Jiang Xia’s persuasive words to restore Li Chunxia’s calmness with a bit of coaxing.

“It’s expected to be very messy during those days of construction, it just so happens that there are still empty rooms in my house, so if you don’t mind, just come and stay at our house.” Jiang Xia had already greeted Xu Yin beforehand.

Another round of thanks and excuses, tossing and turning for half a day before Jiang Xia convinced Li Chunxia to send the two children home.

After sending her away, Jiang Xia immediately dialed Liang Shao Ruo’s phone, and had to notify Old Liang to vacate a bedroom in advance.

“The call was answered by Don E., who immediately realized that this more important person had not been notified.”

“Sister Jiang Xia~” Tang Ei softly pouted.

“Isn’t it time to go to work? Why do you want to call me at home? Are you dissatisfied with my proposal, or do you just miss me?”

“Come on you clingy kitty, sis made a decision about something and forgot to inform you, don’t worry, it’s not for you to go out.”

“As long as it’s not going out, just arrange whatever you want, Erika-chan~ I’m all for it with both hands!”

“In that case…” said Jiang Xia, telling Tang Ei about the situation of Li Chunxia’s family.

“…So, her two kids are coming to stay at our house for two days, you…don’t mind, do you?”

Tang Ei was silent, and Jiang Xia didn’t reply after feeding him for half a day.

“Are you… angry?”

At that moment, Liang Shaoruo’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“When Missy heard that outsiders are coming to the house, she’s already scared into hibernation, you can hang up first, I’ll talk to her properly when she wakes up.”

Good lord, Jiang Xia didn’t expect Tang Ei’s resistance to outsiders to reach this point.

The afternoon sun was just right, warming her body through the window, and she fell asleep in it.

In the dream, Jiang Xia stood in front of a mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror, like her, but there was a voice in her heart saying that it wasn’t her.

“Is that you? Tang Ei!”

Tang Ei at the end of the mirror nodded shyly, Jiang Xia wanted to reach out and touch her, but realized that he could only touch the cold mirror surface, Tang Ei was living in the mirror and could not be touched in any way.

Why? Jiang Xia felt that Tang Ei in the mirror was gradually pulling away.

“Tang Ei, why can’t you accept other people, but you can accept me?”

Tang Ei stared expressionlessly at Jiang Xia without opening her mouth, but her voice floated in Jiang Xia’s mind.

“Because from the beginning, there was only one person, we were born to each other from opposite ends of the mirror, you are me, I am you, I will not be afraid of myself, and therefore I will not resist you, Sister Echidna.”

“But those two kids aren’t bad people, and I’ll talk to them about the rules and not having any contact with you.”

“Really?” Tang Ei at the end of the mirror raised her eyebrows slightly, a weak and helpless look on her face.

“Sister will do what she says or…I’ll disappear.”

After saying that, Tang Ei disappeared in a flash, and Jiang Xia snapped her eyes open, clearly bathed in sunlight, but she broke out in a cold sweat.

Carefully savoring Tang Ei’s words in the dream, Jiang Xia always felt that something was not quite right.

She had once made an assumption that the probability of the existence of two unrelated people in the world who looked extremely similar was already extremely low, and the probability of the existence of three or more similarities was even more minimal, and could even be said to be non-existent with certainty.

According to the logic of the current world line, there existed a Tang Ei here, as well as a ten year old double who was possessed by Jiang Xia, but it should be noted that ten years ago she had likewise already existed in the world, and there existed a certain age difference between her and Tang Ei, and although in adulthood there might not be much of a difference due to the rapidity of her development, the current her was still a mere sixteen year old middle school student, and Jiang Xia guaranteed that her own self from ten years ago would definitely not look like this.

Is there a new person in the world?

The more he thought about it, the more horrible it became, and the sudden phone call even scared Jiang Xia out of goosebumps.

“Sister Jiang Xia~” hearing Tang Ei’s pasty voice, Jiang Xia instantly relaxed a lot, reminding herself to stop thinking blindly.

“How did you wake up so quickly?”

“With the Cream Daifuku wake-up service, of course.” Liang Shaoruo spat on the other end of the line.

“I’ve figured it out, I kinda like kids too, it’s fine if my sister picks them up and arranges them casually, it’s just…”

Tang Ei was about to say something else when Jiang Xia’s cell phone showed that Cheng Yu’s call had come back.

“Ei Ei you wait first, my sister has to be busy with work first, hang up haha, I’ll call you back later.”

“Hey!” Cheng Yu’s tone was a bit urgent.

“That newcomer who is going to apply for the job is already on the elevator, in order to show the temperament of our company, you go to the elevator entrance to pick him up.”

“He’s a coworker applying for a job not a customer.” Jiang Xia helplessly hung up the phone and spat out a “face-saving remark.”

She waited idly at the elevator entrance, she had memorized the questions in passing when she had memorized the answers earlier, and she was going to give the newcomer a good hard time with them, no matter what to give him a hard time first!

But the moment the elevator door opened, Jiang Xia was dumbfounded, and the person inside was something she could not have expected in any way.

“Hello.” He was as clean-cut and handsome as ever, wearing an ill-fitting brown overcoat and gently picking at the elevator door.

“I’m here for the interview, it’s been a while, my name is Ran Yi.”
