Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041: 252: Appointment with Li Tong (One more update)

After arranging it with Li Tong, Ni Yang hung up the phone.

The next morning, Ni Yang drove to meet her.

Truth be told, she didn’t want to drive, but it was too cold now, and riding a bike would have taken courage.

When she arrived, Li Tong was already there.

"Yangyang, over here!" Li Tong stood up and waved at Ni Yang.

Ni Yang walked over with a smile, "Tongtong, how come you’re so early?"

She was worried that Li Tong might wait for her, so Ni Yang had purposely come ten minutes early, but Li Tong had arrived even earlier.

Li Tong said, "Well, I have the day off today and nothing to do at home."

Ni Yang handed the box she was holding to Li Tong, "Tongtong, this is the newest product from Frosty Jade Skin, why don’t you try it out?"

New product?

The mention of those three words lit up Li Tong’s eyes.

Frosty Jade Skin’s products were in such high demand that ordinary people couldn’t even buy the limited editions, let alone new ones!

"Wow! What’s this new product? Is it a face mask?" Li Tong immediately opened the packaging.

Frosty Jade Skin already had a milk pearl powder face mask, but face masks didn’t usually look like this...

So Li Tong was very curious, wondering exactly what this was.

Ni Yang explained with a smile, "This is a snail essence eye mask, which can lighten crow’s feet and under-eye lines, as well as reduce dark circles. It is quite effective."

Dark circles would appear from staying up late, and no matter how much foundation you applied, you couldn’t completely cover them up.

This eye mask was simply a savior for night owls!

Good skincare products shouldn’t stay the same forever, so recently, Frosty Jade Skin had not only added eye masks but had also launched several affordable skincare products.

Of course, good things were meant to be shared.

"Eye mask? Do you use it on your eyes?" Li Tong continued to ask.

"Exactly," Ni Yang nodded.

Li Tong followed up, "Yangyang, thank you! How much is it?"

Although she hadn’t used this eye mask yet, Li Tong was already a loyal fan of Frosty Jade Skin!

She believed that Frosty Jade Skin wouldn’t disappoint her!

The eye mask must be really good!

Ni Yang replied with a smile, "This is a new product, currently in the trial phase. Just let me know how it works for you afterward; there’s no need to pay."

Li Tong wasn’t the kind to take advantage, "No way, Yangyang, I can’t accept the eye mask if you’re not taking the money!"

Ni Yang took a sip of coffee, "Tongtong, if you really feel bad about it, then do me a favor instead."

"What favor? Just tell me," said Li Tong.

Ni Yang began speaking softly.

Hearing this, Li Tong patted her chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me! I promise I’ll take care of it!"

"Then I’ll have to trouble you."

"It’s no trouble at all," Li Tong continued, "Yangyang, if you ever need help with anything in the future, just let me know!"

Since she wasn’t working today, Shangguan Xi spent time on a date with Zuo Ling.

Zuo Ling brought up marriage again.

Regarding the matter of marriage, Shangguan Xi was also somewhat at a loss. After all, it was a commitment for a lifetime, and she wanted to think it over properly.

"Xiaoxi, do you not love me?" Zuo Ling asked.

Shangguan Xi replied, "No, I love you very much! Zuo Ling, why would you think that?"

Zuo Ling continued, "If you love me, why won’t you marry me? Especially since you’ve already accepted my proposal!"

Zuo Ling was anxious.

The longer the delay, the more likely it was that Shangguan Xi might be snatched away by Wu Chenjun.

Shangguan Xi thought for a moment and then said, "Zuo Ling, this is a matter for a lifetime. I need to discuss it with my family and prepare a lot of things. Have you already discussed it with your uncle and aunt?"

Zuo Ling replied, "My parents really like you; they can’t wait for me to marry you! There’s no need for discussion; they are just waiting for your response now!"

After all, he had even threatened with his own life once, so his parents didn’t dare to disagree!

Shangguan Xi said, "Don’t worry, Zuo Ling, I’ll pick a good day soon to talk to them about this, and I promise you won’t have to wait too long."

Shangguan Xi was in a hurry too.

Her family had many misconceptions about Zuo Ling and continuously disapproved of her marrying him.

Was she supposed to secretly take her household registration book and sneak off to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register?

Shangguan Xi had made up her mind!

If her family still didn’t approve, she would be bold for once.

Zuo Ling was such a good person, she believed her family would understand her.

Zuo Ling dropped Shangguan Xi off at her home, then headed to his own place.

As soon as he got home, Mother Zuo asked with a stern face, "Lingling, did you take my watch?"

That watch had been a gift from Chen Laibao to her, and she hadn’t even had the chance to wear it before it disappeared!

Zuo Ling nodded, "Yes, what about it?"

"What did you take my watch for?" Mother Zuo demanded.

Zuo Ling sat down on the couch, "I gave it to Xiaoxi."

"What?!" Mother Zuo nearly shrieked.

He had given it to Shangguan Xi?

He had actually given that expensive watch to that little bitch!

"Do you know how much that watch cost?" Mother Zuo’s face turned red with anger!

Without a care, Zuo Ling picked up an apple, "It’s just a watch, right? Is it worth all this fuss? Besides, Xiaoxi is not an outsider; she’s about to marry into our family!"

"That watch costs over two hundred yuan! Over two hundred yuan! I couldn’t even bring myself to wear it, and there you go, giving it to that little bitch without even blinking an eye!"

They weren’t even married yet, and her son was already so enamored with that little bitch!

What would happen if they did get married?

"Go right now and get that watch back from that little bitch! Go now!" Mother Zuo pushed Zuo Ling toward the door.

Speechless, Zuo Ling said, "Mom, is it really worth it? I’m your son! Do I mean less to you than a watch?"

Mother Zuo yelled, "It’s my watch! What gives you the right to give it to that little bitch? If you don’t want to get it, then I will go to that little bitch myself and get it!"

That damned little bitch, daring to take her things!

Zuo Ling continued, "Mom, calm down. Xiaoxi is going to marry into our family soon; we can just have her return the watch later! Right now it’s not going to happen, we’re at a critical point. If you screw up our affair at this time, then I might as well be dead!"

After saying that, Zuo Ling casually picked up the fruit knife on the table, appearing as if he were about to commit suicide.

Mother Zuo was terrified, her face turning deathly pale, "Lingling, drop the knife! Put down the knife!"

Zuo Ling placed the fruit knife down, "Mom, don’t worry. Once Xiaoxi steps into our home, you can treat her however you want, and I won’t stop you. But not now!"
