Chapter 604: Chapter 605: Chased by a Mad Dog Chapter 604: Chapter 605: Chased by a Mad Dog Moreover, Chiang Xiaoâs first choice was to buy the house, not rent it.
In another ten years, the price of houses in City M would be enough to scare people to death, and in another twenty years, prices of two or three thousand per square meter would be even more common.
Moreover, at that time, real estate in the city center wouldnât be something you could buy just because you wanted to.
Chiang Xiao intended to keep the tea snack business going and also hoped to have a place in City Mâs thriving business center in the future, so it made the most sense to buy the property now.
As she strolled leisurely toward the department store, she looked around, not noticing the alleyway beside her until she heard footsteps and suddenly came to her senses, swiftly sidestepping to avoid them.
The one running out of the alley, however, couldnât stop their momentum and fell to the ground with a painful crash.
It was a girl wearing a short-sleeved cotton top and blue homespun cloth pants, with a braid not too long. She fell hard onto her knees and slid forward, scraping her palms and tearing the fabric of her pants at the knees.
Sitting on the ground, she looked at her palms and then at her torn pants, and her eyes reddened as she began to cry softly.
Chiang Xiao looked at her and suddenly felt the world was really small.
Wasnât this the girl who insisted on sharing a stand with Tyrant Meng at the breakfast shop before?
She immediately sensed trouble was brewing and turned to run.
But she was a bit too late.
âYou make me fall and think you can just run away?â The girl looked at her while crying.
âI think, it should be you who fell on your own,â Chiang Xiao said, speechless. Her premonition had been right, but her reaction wasnât quick enough.
If Meng Xinian were here, he would certainly find this scene very familiar. Didnât he and Du Jinruo have a similar encounter that day?
But he was actually quite relieved afterwards that his face was covered in paint and mud and Du Jinruo didnât recognize him, otherwise there might have been more trouble.
Now, Chiang Xiao wasnât so lucky.
Because the girl had recognized her too, without a doubt, but hadnât exposed it. However, the way she looked at Chiang Xiao already betrayed her recognition.
âHow is it that I fell? If it werenât for you, how would I have fallen?â she said, biting her lower lip.
âI certainly didnât make you run like you were being chased by a mad dog,â Chiang Xiao scoffed coldly, having always had little patience for such unreasonable people, âFrom beginning to end, I didnât touch a hair on your head. Itâs you who plunged forward like an out-of-control locomotive. Blaming me?â
âYouâre the one chased by a mad dog! Youâre like an out-of-control locomotive!â
Zhang Xiaomei became angry as soon as she heard Chiang Xiaoâs sharp tongue.
Earlier at the breakfast shop, sheâd seen an exceptionally handsome man that made her heart flutter at first sight. She had planned to use the excuse of sharing a stand to get to know him, but then this girl had popped up and ruined her plans!
With so many people in the breakfast shop, and the man looking tough to mess with, she hadnât dared to make a scene, but now seeing Chiang Xiao alone, she suddenly felt bold.
âIf it werenât for you blocking my way, why would I have fallen trying to avoid you?â She stared at Chiang Xiao and suddenly shouted loudly, âBig brother! Second brother! Someoneâs hitting me!â
This sudden shrill cry sent a buzzing through Chiang Xiaoâs eardrums.
