The sultry weather made people feel uncomfortable all over. Jiang Yuechu took a nice bath and lay down on the cool mat.

The air in the courtyard was just good. After a day of scorching sun, the dense and lush trees still brought a cool breeze at night. She lay on the bed, not even turning on the electric fan, but just gently fanning herself with a palm leaf fan.

It had been a long time since she had calmed down and thought about things seriously. Over the past year or so, she had thought about Jiang Yannan the most, but that man seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Apart from those six simple words, there was no more news.

She felt as if she had returned to her previous life, feeling distraught and sad because of Jiang Yannan.

This is not the meaning of her rebirth!

She started her life over again, not to live for others, but for herself.

She let out a long breath, put aside all the emotions that were weighing on her heart, and lived each day to the fullest. This was what she should do.

Jiang Yuechu cooked breakfast early in the morning and called the two children to get up and eat breakfast.

"Sister, you look so beautiful today." San Ya ran over as soon as she saw her, her lips as sweet as honey.

"Really? From what San Ya said, my sister is not usually pretty." Jiang Yuechu squatted down and pinched her face, teasing her deliberately.

"No..." The little girl got anxious when she heard this. She pouted and stamped her feet. She was so aggrieved that tears were about to fall. "Sister is beautiful every day, and she is even more beautiful today."

"Okay, okay, sister was just joking with you." Jiang Yuechu saw that the little girl was about to cry, and hurried to comfort her.

Lu Lin arrived just as the three of them finished their meal.

Before Jiang Yuechu left, she told the two children: "Sister has something to do today, you two stay at home and watch TV. Make some food for yourselves at noon. If I come back late at night, you should wash up and go to bed after dinner. Don't run around outside, understand?"

The two nodded obediently.

Jiang Yuechu and Lu Lin walked out of the alley and saw a jeep parked not far away.

"Yours?" Jiang Yuechu looked surprised.

"I borrowed it. It's too uncomfortable to squeeze on the bus in such hot weather." Lu Lin said as he opened the passenger door.

Jiang Yuechu looked at the magnificent black SUV and felt extremely envious. She wondered when she could own a car like this.

If she wanted to buy something, then Coucou could afford it. But she had to spend her money wisely, so she would not consider buying a luxury item like a car.

However, if these two pieces of land can be acquired, this wish should be realized soon.

"Get in the car, what are you standing there for?" Lu Lin saw her standing by the car in a daze and reminded her.

Jiang Yuechu then got into the car. The cold air from the air conditioner in the car made her shiver uncontrollably.

"Is the temperature too low?" Lu Lin looked at her and reached out to lower the temperature.

"No, no, I just came up and the temperature difference inside was a bit big, but I've adapted to it now." Jiang Yuechu quickly blocked her. It was the first time in her life that she enjoyed the cool air of air conditioning.

I really miss this feeling! Comfortable!

Jiang Yuechu closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze.

After a while, she felt the two pairs of eyes from next door looking at her from time to time.

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?" Jiang Yuechu asked directly without even opening his eyes.

"You know I'm looking at you?" Lu Lin looked embarrassed.

"Your gaze is almost staring me to pieces, how could I not know that?"

"I just feel that," Lu Lin touched his nose, looking embarrassed, "you seem a little different today than you were yesterday..."

Jiang Yuechu didn't say anything else. She knew what he meant, but didn't want to discuss this topic.

"How long will it take us?"

“It’s about an hour and a half drive.”

"Okay, call me when you get there." After saying that, Jiang Yuechu closed his eyes and began to rest, and accidentally fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes, the car had stopped and Lu Lin was no longer in the car.

She quickly opened the car door and a wave of hot air hit her in the face, almost causing her to have heatstroke.

It took her a while to adjust to the scorching sun outside.

She opened her umbrella and stood on a desolate piece of land. At a glance, all she saw was flying dust.

Jiang Yuechu: ...

She really didn't expect that the prosperous commercial center in the future would be like this now.

"Are you sure it's here?" Jiang Yuechu was a little skeptical. Is this the South Third Ring Road in her mind?

"My childhood friend and I have been here several times. This is the land that will be sold soon. Over there..." Lu Lin pointed to a large area in the distance, "It should be the new site of Kyoto University. This is inside information, and not many people know about it yet."

Jiang Yuechu raised his hands to cover his eyes and looked into the distance with slightly squinted eyes.

"This piece of land should be more than 40 acres, why is it only for sale in this small area?"

"I heard that the other lands are developed by the government and are not for sale..."

After Lu Lin returned from demobilization, he met up with his childhood friends and got this inside information.

He actually didn't have much enthusiasm, but he came up with this idea only after being encouraged by Tao Chengan.

He didn't expect that Jiang Yuechu would be so interested.

"If you want to know more, I can ask Tao Chengan to come out and you can talk in person."

That night, Lu Lin asked Tao Chengan out for dinner.

Lu Lin booked a private restaurant. Although it was not a high-end hotel, it had an elegant environment and strong privacy.

They had originally agreed to meet at six o'clock, but it was not until half past six that Jiang Yuechu saw a young man hurriedly walk in. He was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and a black Zhongshan suit. He looked mature beyond his years and did not seem to be the same person as Lu Lin had described.

"Sorry, I'm late..." As soon as Tao Cheng'an came in, he found that there was one more person. A hint of surprise and amazement flashed in his eyes.

I have known Lu Lin for a long time, but he has never brought any girls to any party.

"This is...", he said as he took off his black-framed glasses and coat, and suddenly he became a different person.

"This is my sister, Jiang Yuechu." Lu Lin pointed at the person opposite him and said, "This is my childhood friend, Tao Chengan. Don't be fooled by his well-dressed appearance. That's just an appearance..."

"Okay, is there anyone like you? You ruin my show the first time you meet my sister." Tao Chengan stretched out his hand to Jiang Yuechu, "Nice to meet you, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Yuechu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it.

The three of them sat down and the food was soon served. Lu Lin told him the purpose of his meeting today.

Tao Chengan was very surprised. Such a large sum of money was taken so easily. He looked like a wealthy man. He quickly went through the names of several people with good family backgrounds in the upper circles of Beijing, but there was no one named Jiang.

He calmly looked at the girl opposite him. She looked very young, about twenty years old, and was dressed casually, but he could see that the texture and style of her clothes were good. At least they were not popular in the market yet, which meant that her clothes were probably custom-made.

He didn't expect that such a person would appear in Beijing, and he didn't even know about it.

"Lu Lin, when did you recognize such a sister? You didn't tell me. You are not a good friend." Tao Chengan asked jokingly. "Is your sister too beautiful and you don't want me to see her..."

"She's my mother's goddaughter." Lu Lin kicked him under the table.

"My cousin's adopted daughter?" Tao Cheng'an was really surprised this time, but on second thought, his cousin was almost going crazy wanting a daughter, so it was normal for her to adopt a goddaughter.

This time Tao Chengan felt relieved, at least he was not a outsider, and they ate and chatted.

Tao Chengan was always keeping an eye on the inside information, while Jiang Yuechu and Lu Lin went back to collect the money as soon as possible.

Once they get the land, the shares will be divided according to the amount of money they paid. Lu Lin paid 6,000 yuan, accounting for 30%, and Jiang Yuechu paid 14,000 yuan, which should account for 70%, but he gave 10% of the shares to Tao Chengan, so he has 60% and Tao Chengan has 10%.

Jiang Yuechu picked up the wine glass, stood up, and raised it to Tao Chengan: "Thank you, Brother Tao, for letting me join you this time. I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

"Sister Jiang, you're too polite. You are my aunt's goddaughter and Linzi's sister, which means you're my sister. We're all family, there's no need to be so formal." Tao Cheng'an stood up, looked at her with a smile, raised his glass and drank it all.

"Then I won't be polite to Brother Tao. If there is such news in the future, I hope you can tell us as soon as possible, and then we can earn some pocket money together." Jiang Yuechu didn't bother to be polite with them and spoke directly with a thick face.

If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. All your modesty is just empty talk.

"sure."

Lu Lin sat on the side, feeling like he was just there to serve as a foil, and he didn't say a few words from beginning to end.

"Excuse me, you two, I need to go to the bathroom."

Jiang Yuechu felt a little drunk and wanted to wash his face.

"Is it serious?" Lu Lin couldn't help but worry when he saw her blushing cheeks.

"fine……"

Standing in front of the mirror in the washbasin, Jiang Yuechu scooped up a handful of cold water and applied it to his face, only then did he feel the heat subside a lot.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed in the mirror. Jiang Yuechu was stunned for a moment, thinking he was dazzled.

She turned around and saw the familiar and charming woman getting farther and farther away from her. Jiang Yuechu hurriedly chased after her. Before she caught up, she saw the figure throwing herself into the arms of a tall man standing at the door of the restaurant.

The tall figure, the handsome face, looked familiar yet unfamiliar. Jiang Yuechu stood there in a daze, looking at the two people hugging each other tightly.

The man lowered his head and kissed the woman directly on the lips, one hand around her waist and the other hand behind her head, passionately and tenderly. The two kissed each other so hard that it was unknown how long it had been before the man's lips left the woman, but his arm was still around her waist, and the two walked towards the hotel opposite.

Jiang Yuechu recognized the woman at a glance. It could not be anyone else but Lin Feixue.

As for that man, Jiang Yuechu's mind went blank, and she suddenly couldn't remember what Jiang Yannan looked like. In just one year, it seemed that all her memories had become blurred.

That face is so familiar, yet so strange.

Jiang Yuechu wanted to chase after him. This man whom she had been looking for for more than a year suddenly appeared in front of her without any warning. She should catch him immediately and ask him where he had been for more than a year and why there was no news from him.

But her legs were so weak that she couldn't move at all. In this midsummer season, she just felt cold all over, as if she was falling on a glacier.
