Jiang Wan was able to guess this person's identity in an instant.

Zhang Caijin.

It’s not that Jiang Wan cares about him, but it’s an instinctive reaction.

The original owner had been in love with Zhang Caijin for more than a year, and his voice, appearance and smile had long been engraved in her heart, so she was extremely familiar with Zhang Caijin's voice.

But for Jiang Wan, this familiarity was too uncomfortable.

She turned around and looked up to meet Zhang Caijin's surprised gaze. She sneered and said, "What a coincidence. I happened to meet you in such a big town like Luohe."

Zhang Caijin felt uncomfortable listening to these words, as if meeting him was such a bad luck.

Zhang Caijin looked Jiang Wan up and down.

Jiang Wan was wearing a lilac short jacket today, with a crescent-white long gown underneath. She had her hair done in a bun like a married woman, and on her head were a gold and silver hairpin with a pattern of a butterfly playing with peony flowers and a white jade and silver bamboo hairpin. Apart from these two items, she had no other jewelry.

She has fair skin, red lips, charming eyes and a beautiful nose. The few strands of hair scattered on her temples make her delicate white jade face even more exquisite and beautiful.

Zhang Caijin knew that Jiang Wan was beautiful, otherwise he would not have tolerated Jiang Wan's constant clinging to him.

But Jiang Wan in the past, although beautiful, always lacked a bit of charm.

In the past, Jiang Wan didn't speak and always stayed quiet, which made people feel that she was as beautiful as a dazzling peony flower, stealing the limelight from all the girls in Lushui Village, including Jiang Lian'er.

But as soon as Jiang Wan spoke, her beauty would lose some of its luster.

She is spoiled and willful, uneducated, arrogant, narrow-minded, inexperienced, and has no opinions of her own, etc. All these shortcomings drag down her appearance.

In addition, Jiang Wan always took the initiative to show her kindness to Zhang Caijin.

This made him think that if a woman as beautiful as Jiang Wan was attracted to him, then how extraordinary his charm and talent must be?

Because of Jiang Wan's initiative, Zhang Caijin often ignored Jiang Wan's appearance and instead admired his own appearance.

But ever since Jiang Wan broke her head, she changed her temper and came to Zhang Caijin's house to make a scene.

Zhang Caijin risked his reputation to come and try to make peace, but was treated coldly by Jiang Wan.

After these things happened, Zhang Caijin really wanted to break up with Jiang Wan.

He even felt that Jiang Wan was just so-so in appearance. To be honest, Jiang Lian'er was not bad looking either, and she was even gentler, more graceful and approachable than Jiang Wan.

So when Zhang Caijin was turned down by Jiang Wan, he began to slander and deny Jiang Wan's appearance and character in his heart, and he also resented Jiang Wan because Jiang Wan asked him to return the food and silver.

But I never thought that after just half a month, Jiang Wan's appearance had changed drastically.

Not only is it more refined and beautiful than before, but its temperament is also better.

More importantly, Jiang Wan's dress and appearance made her look like a lady from a wealthy family. How could she look like an illiterate, poor, and uncouth country woman?

The outer coat and long gown are both made of forged materials. Even without considering the price of the materials, the exquisite workmanship and delicate patterns alone show that the hairpins and hairpins on the head are very expensive.

It would take at least ten taels of silver for Jiang Wan to carry off all this.

Just a set of clothes costs more than ten taels. Where did Jiang Wan make this fortune?

The look in Zhang Caijin's eyes when he looked at Jiang Wan, from surprise to confusion, and finally to a faint sense of passion, was all seen clearly by Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan stood back in disgust and said, "Zhang Caijin, I haven't seen you for a while. How come I didn't know that your eyesight was not working well? Do you not recognize me, or what? What's the meaning of staring at me?"

Zhang Caijin felt embarrassed and angry when he heard the thorn in her words, especially in public.

He subconsciously scolded Jiang Wan, "Jiang Wan, you are a woman, how can you curse at others at will? Do you still have any sense of shame and etiquette?"

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes, "Didn't you look at me?"

"This……"

Xie Xueling pointed at Zhang Caijin while holding a candied haws and chimed in, "He looked at you, sister-in-law. Xueling is my witness!"

Zhang Caijin thought that although Xie Xueling was cute, her way of speaking was unpleasant, so he began to dislike her too.

"You are just a kid, you have no right to interrupt when adults are talking."

"Then I'm standing here fine, why are you coming over to talk to me?"

Jiang Wan fought back rudely.

Zhang Caijin was speechless. Looking at her beautiful face, his tone softened.

"Jiang Wan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to talk to you. Is that not possible?"

In fact, Zhang Caijin just vaguely noticed someone walking in. He glanced at him a few times and felt that he looked familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize him.

After all, why would Jiang Wan come to the bookstore with Xie Lan, and dress luxuriously?

But he heard Xie Xueling's voice, and walked over curiously to take a look, only to find that it was really Jiang Wan.

Last time he threatened to break up with Jiang Wan.

He thought Jiang Wan would regret it and come to him to make peace.

At that time, he will put on airs and force Jiang Wan to continue to be nice to him willingly and praise him.

But he waited and waited, but Jiang Wan never showed up.

When they met again, Jiang Wan was glamorous and beautiful, while he was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked tired. He totally lacked Jiang Wan's bright spirit and vitality.

Jiang Wan was obviously living a better life than him.

This realization made Zhang Caijin feel envious and jealous, and also gave rise to a deep sense of regret.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have said it so decisively.

Jiang Wan had no idea what was going on in his mind, she just felt that meeting Zhang Caijin was very unlucky.

Luohe Town is so big, but she met the person she least wanted to see. Isn't this bad luck?

"Oh?" Jiang Wan said coldly, "What is our relationship? Why do you still want to talk to me? What can we talk about?"

"correct."

She seemed to remember something, and a sarcastic arc appeared on her lips.

"We do have something to say. Zhang Caijin, when will you pay me back the difference in corn prices you owe me? It's been a month, and a hundred or so wen is nothing to a talented scholar like you."

"Jiang Wan! Is this the time to talk about money?"

Zhang Caijin raised his voice and his face turned a little red.

He was not shy, but ashamed.

In public, Jiang Wan openly said that he was in arrears with debts. Isn't this an insult to his reputation?

Jiang Wan sneered, "If it's not now, then when is it?"

Her attitude was cold and her tone was sharp, not giving Zhang Caijin any face or warmth at all.

This made Zhang Caijin angry and annoyed.

"I'll give you the money, but you have to give me some time..."

Zhang Caijin clenched his fists and tried hard to persuade himself to soften his attitude.

After all, he wanted to make peace with Jiang Wan, so even if Jiang Wan said some unpleasant words, he should be tolerant and forgiving.

After Jiang Wan’s heart returns to him, he will settle accounts with her.

Zhang Caijin’s dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Jiang Wan sneered and said, "Okay, if you don't want to pay it back, then don't pay it back. Do I still owe you that hundred coins? What are you making up here?"

Jiang Wan saw through Zhang Caijin.

The pocket is cleaner than the face, and he likes to paint a rosy picture for the original owner, make promises, and describe the future.

But no actual action has ever been taken, it's just nice talk.

The original owner had no choice but to fall for it, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so fooled by Zhang Caijin.

Zhang Caijin was so angry when he heard her ruthless sarcasm that his face flushed with anger and he almost couldn't suppress his emotions and opened his mouth to refute.

Fortunately, he had strong self-control and managed to endure it.

He adjusted his mood and looked up at Jiang Wan with hurt.

"Jiang Wan, I know you misunderstood me, but it's okay, I don't blame you. I didn't pay attention to your feelings before, that was my fault, I apologize to you."
