Chapter 29 How Could You Fall in Love with My Girl
Brian nodded, and said, "She was, indeed, pretty."
"She''s nice, and she''s loyal to friends, and radiates with kindness and generosity. She is all that''s good
and kind in my heart, " said Bill.
...
Of course, beauty lied in the eye of the beholder, and in our case, in the eyes of the lover. Brian nodded
and agreed with him, "OK."
But Bill''s face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Brian, do you also like Jane?"
"Well, I don''t dislike her, " replied Brian. A soldier never lied.
Bill felt disappointed and stared at Brian with even more confusion in his eyes. He then spoke, "I should
have never asked you to help me send the letter. How could you fall in love with my girl?"
"Anyway, she isn''t your girlfriend. How can you say that, " said Brian.
Bill was speechless after he heard Brian''s words.
''Is ''Jane'' her infant name? It quite fits her because her voice and body are as soft and delicate as her
name...''
Brian suddenly turned his back and walked away before Bill had finished talking with him.
Bill got even more confused, and wondered what had happened to him. Maybe only Brian knew best
about what was going on with him.
At the SL Group
When Daniel returned to the Secretary Department,ing from the meeting room for the third time
already, he found that J was still not at her desk.
"Spark, please inform Miss Shao that her three days'' sry will be deducted from her ount if she is
absent for one full day."
"Ok. Mr. Si."
J, who was sitting by the roadside and staring at the skyscraper buildings, received Spark''s call.
Spark told J all about what Daniel had just said.
"Only the three days'' sry... Yeah, whatever!" replied J.
She still had no concept of money, and replied with indifference to Spark''s warning.
Spark hung up and felt very disappointed. ''She is, indeed, a spoiled princess, and doesn''t seem to
have a care in the world regarding money problems'' thought Spark.
He told Daniel what she had said over the phone and then quickly left his office, as he saw that Daniel
didn''t utter a single word in reply.
Because she didn''t find a suitable shop for her, J still had to go to work. However, she was now
was very excited and full of grand new expectations, because tomorrow was her pay day. After all, the
job at the SL Group was the first she ever had in her life.
And after getting her sry, she was going to buy her father a... A tie? A wallet? A suit?
She also wanted to buy her mother a set of DQ masks and her brother a watch. She wanted to buy her
great-grandmother a...
J carefully drew a n in her head, with a pleasurable feeling in mind. She decided to go shopping
the moment she got her sry.
But... At lunch, while J looked at the text message she received from the bank about her sry,
she lost her appetite.
"Dear SL Bank customer, your debit card with the tail number of 6688 has received an SL Group sry.
The total amount is 5 dors. The current avable bnce is 3, 000, 030 dors."
...
''Ah! How could Daniel be so mean?'' she thought, ''How dare he cut so much out of my sry!''
J was very angry and rushed straight into Daniel''s office. Daniel, who was also having lunch, saw
the angry expression gleaming in J''s eyes and immediately understood what was going on.
When he put her sry sheet and the pile of reprimands in front of her on the desk, J checked
them with disbelief.
She felt there seemed to be nothing wrong with her sry, and still tried to calcte her sry with her
phone''s calctor. It was, indeed, 5 dors after the amount out of the reprimand notes was
deducted...
When he saw J leaving his office, Daniel somehow felt a little sad.
When J discreetly left thepany after work that night, she could hear her colleagues, who were
walking behind her,ughing at her: "Do you know J''s sry for thest month? Ha Ha... It''s so
funny!"
"Of course I do. Everyone in thepany knows it! It''s the first time I''ve heard of such a low sry. It''s
really unbelievable."
"Actually, she could have received a higher sry from the SL Group, but she couldn''t obey the
received."
...
J managed to hold back her tears for long enough until she got to her car and started driving slowly
on the road.
While she looked at the bustling city in the early evening, J reflected on herself and wondered if
she was a bit amiss with herselftely.
J was lost in thought and drove into an alley. When this had just came to her mind, she saw a
woman at the roadside, who was about her age, with a child. The woman, who carried the child on her
back, was standing at the roadside, selling... Cookies?
''Are those cookies?'' she wondered. J couldn''t be sure of what the woman was selling.
She pulled over to the curve, and walked up to the woman''s stall. "Hi, would you like to buy some
cookies?" asked the woman.
The woman looked at her with kind eyes; her child had fallen asleep.
J nodded, and asked, "How much for one cookie?"
"Two cookies cost one dor. How many do you want?"
J had never suffered any hardships in her life, so now she was very surprised when she heard the
woman''s words. She stared at the cookies and still couldn''t believe that she could spend only one
dor on two cookies.
She had never eaten cookies so cheap. The cookies she ate were either made by her family members
or the house servant.
At the very least, she could buy cookies straight from the hotel. However, in the hotel it cost more than
ten dors to buy just a single cookie.
"Miss?" The woman with her child on her back looked at J, who was now in a daze, and greeted
her again with the same confusion as she did before.
"Oh! I want five dors'' worth of cookies, please." J took out her purse from her bag, but she didn''t
have any small bills.
She took out a one hundred dor bill and gave it to the woman. When she saw the bill, which was
worth of a lot of money, the woman took off her disposable gloves, and said to J, "I need to check
first if I have enough change to give you back."
"It doesn''t matter. You don''t have to give me back the change. I just want the cookies."
"That''s not right, " protested the woman, "I can''t receive that much money from you. Please wait a
moment."
After she took out some money from her shoe box, and got several dors more out from her pockets,

the woman finally raised the 95 dors change for J''s bill.
J carried the cookies packed in a food bag, lost in thought for a while.
The first sry that J had ever received in her whole life was worth five dors. After she pondered
this for a while, she finally took the five dors'' worth of cookies to the old house.
Hoping that her family would not be ashamed of her failure, J sniffled and tried to smile as usual.
When she opened the old house''s door, she greeted her family: "Great-grandmother, grandfather,
grandmother, father, mother, John, I''m back from work!"
"Jane, you''re back! Come over here, " said her great-grandmother.
"Jane, have you juste back now from work?" asked Samuel. He gently hugged his daughter when
he saw her.
With John in her arms, E squinted, and then asked, "Jane, are you tired?"
J shook her head and then walked up to Melody to hug her.
Vincent and Vi, who were helping prepare dinner in the kitchen, also came out when they heard that
Jane came back from work.
"My lovely granddaughter. Come here, let me hug you" said Vi.
J quickly put out of her mind the miserable feelings she was having from work; she was now
enjoying her family''s warmth and love.
However, when Vincent asked about the food bag in her hand, a morose feeling suddenly seized
Jane''s face.
"Great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, I am sorry." Jane lowered her head to
the ground, which confused her family. They suddenly became silent and looked at each other, not
knowing what was really going on.
"I have received my first sry today, but I just got..." She even felt ashamed of spitting out the words.
When he saw that Jane was depressed, Samuel also felt distressed and hugged her andforting
her: "Jane, No matter how much the sry is worth, it is your hard-earned money. You never have to
feel sorry about it."
J nodded, and said, "Father, I just got five dors. I used all my sry to buy you these...
cookies."
