To please others? It's better to please yourself.

When the factory leaders learned of the tragedy that befell the Chen family, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.

The final decision was to assign the work to Chen Xiangxiu, and transfer her to the factory office as a clerk. She would help with errands and odd jobs, since she was the only son in the Chen family, and it wouldn't be right for the factory not to take care of her.

I heard that the factory's women's federation and labor protection department even made a special trip to visit and offer their condolences.

Xu Jing'an initially didn't take it seriously, since it had nothing to do with her. But she was quickly proven wrong!

"Sister Xu, this is a document that the Ministry of Government requires to be copied. Please make 20 copies." Chen Xiangxiu said politely as she entered the archives.

Over the years, Xu Jing'an has earned the respect of newcomers who call her "sister." She doesn't know how others behave, but she has never deliberately made things difficult for anyone at work or argued with anyone.

Over the years, her direct supervisor, Director Huang, has always taken good care of her. The staff in the building are also well aware of each other's backgrounds.

Unless there's a power struggle between upper management involving factionalism, it won't affect ordinary employees. As long as Director Huang doesn't cause trouble, no one will bother Xu Jing'an.

According to Xu Jing'an's observation, Huang Xing is now extremely stable!

In this day and age, the situation is such that there are few opportunities for advancement, and few dare to stand out. Besides, whether you work hard or not, the pay is the same, so who would bother?

When Xu Jing'an looked up and saw Chen Xiangxiu, the space around them rippled again after seven years.

"Okay, Xiangxiu, wait a moment, it'll only take a few minutes." Xu Jingan calmly took the document, and after 10 minutes, she stapled the copies one by one before handing them to the other party.

"Thank you, Sister Xu," Chen Xiangxiu said gratefully. Everyone said that Clerk Xu was meticulous and attentive in her work, and kind and caring, and it seemed that she truly lived up to those reputations.

After Chen Xiangxiu left, Xu Jing'an leaned on the table and carefully reviewed the plot. She couldn't help but marvel at the coincidence!

"A Peaceful Life" tells the story of Chen Xiangxiu—Shen Yue's wife, or more precisely, his wife in his previous life. After Gu Panpan left, Shen Yue returned to H City. Shen's mother, seeing her son now missing a leg, didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

Her son lost a leg, and just thinking about the pitying looks from those around her made her sad for him; but her son came back alive, and her proud son was able to put aside his pride to see her. As a mother, what more could she ask for?

Shen Yue, who was at a low point in his life, met Chen Xiangxiu. After several encounters, this gentle and considerate girl won his heart.

Chen Xiangxiu was like the misty rain of Jiangnan, hazy yet intricately falling upon him and his heart. Beside this girl, Shen Yue felt a long-lost tranquility, a sense of ease and a homecoming for his soul.

This was a fatal attraction for Shen Yue, who had just retired from the military. People who engage in the dangerous profession of military service often suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Although the mission was completed, only two members of Shen Yue's team returned alive: one was missing a leg, and the other was missing an arm. He hasn't been able to get a proper rest in a long time.

Although Chen Xiangxiu was gentle and considerate, she was strong-willed beneath her gentle exterior. The two eventually fell in love and married.

The already proud Shen Yue worked even harder to take care of his wife after marriage and started a business. Liu Qing even used the money that the Liu family had hidden, along with Chen Xiangxiu's biological father and Shen Yue's connections over the years, to make Shen Yue the person Gu Panpan saw in her previous life.

That's right, Chen Xiangxiu is not a child of the Chen family!

In 56, Liu Qing suffered a miscarriage after being knocked to the ground by Qian Xing. The six-month-old male fetus was born with a slight movement. Although Liu Qing herself did not want the baby, she was still heartbroken for a long time watching her premature child die in front of her.

But not having children was unrealistic, especially since Liu Qing couldn't let the Liu family line die out. Fortunately, Xiangxiu's father, a single man nearing the end of his life, was the one Liu Qing had been observing for a long time.

After two years of recuperation, she took some time to go out and find a surrogate mother. This is another story of "Dao Baifeng"!

Shen Yue is the kind of man who even sleeps with his wife in his arms; Xiangxiu was absent from the role of "father" during her upbringing. Shen Yue's character, his decisiveness and efficiency, and his unique and special care for her all fascinate her.

Chen Xiangxiu needs a husband who can give her peace of mind!

It can be said that the current Gu Panpan is a "persona" created by imitating the temperament of Chen Xiangxiu in the previous life, a fake imitation.

Even though her public image has crumbled, Gu Panpan isn't ashamed as she thinks: without her, Shen Yue would have lost a leg long ago. Would he still be able to stand and talk to her in the army? Shen Yue's leg was the equivalent exchange for marrying her.

Different lives, different destinies!

Xu Jing'an didn't even dare to think about what Shen Yue would do if he knew.

……

On October 21, major media outlets announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. Who would have thought that after so many years of being sent to the countryside, the college entrance examination would actually be reinstated?

This is a life-changing moment; everyone wants to leap over the dragon gate and reach the sky in one step.

The postmen are incredibly busy every day, with many of them either collecting or sending mail. With the college entrance exam approaching and materials incomplete, coupled with the fact that most people have to work during the day, many choose to gather together to study in the evenings.

This gives criminals an opportunity!

After Xu Jing'an signed up, she reviewed the material every night.

"Why are you back so late?" Xu Jing'an put down her pen and looked at her watch; it was already 12 o'clock.

"How about frying some slices of steamed bun and boiling some noodles?"

"Okay, just make some." Shen He took off his hat, took off his uniform, and then washed his hands and face. By the time he finished, the meal was ready.

The golden-brown fried egg and steamed bun slices, along with a large bowl of tomato noodle soup, made Shen He so full he could barely lift his head.

Xu Jing'an then went to boil water for Shen He to wash his feet. By the time Shen He finished eating, the water was hot. While Shen He was soaking his feet, the two chatted for a while to catch up.

"How's the case going?"

Shen He leaned back in his chair: "The culprit hasn't been found yet. There are a lot of people going home at night now, and there are always one or two who are alone. That's how he got his chance, isn't it?"

"However, the recent victims, besides being young women, have one thing in common—the color red."

"Everyone has some red color on them, more or less."

"Clothes, scarf, hair accessory, the red leather shoes the corpse was wearing yesterday, and the one wearing lipstick today."

"It feels like the perpetrator's emotions are gradually getting out of control."

Shen He looked at his wife seriously: "I've been busy lately and haven't been able to pick you up. No matter what happens, don't come home late, even if it means giving up your work!"

"Also, stick to the main roads with lots of people! No matter the reason, don't deviate from your usual route."

"First: Don't touch any windfall you find on the street, no matter how much. The children aren't just yours; they also have a father. I have plans for their future expenses, whether it's schooling, marriage, or work."

"Second: If someone asks for your help, whether you know them or not, even if it's within your ability, refuse if it's outside your daily routine!"

Still feeling uneasy, Shen He got up and took out a dagger from his "treasure chest".

This is a Type 65 army dagger, which is very small, with an overall length of 25.8cm, a blade length of 15.2cm, a blade thickness of 0.4cm, and a blade width of 2cm.

Shen He held Xu Jing'an's hand and taught her how to insert and withdraw.

Black hilt, iron scabbard, double-edged blade, the sound of the knife being drawn and drawn is minimal.

He then helped secure the dagger to Xu Jing'an's waist, saying, "This dagger has a spring-loaded locking mechanism on the handle. It locks in place as soon as the blade is inserted into the sheath to prevent it from coming out, so don't worry, it won't hurt you."

"You can use it to stab, it's not really suitable for cutting. ... Practice more when no one is around each day."

In the dim light, Xu Jing'an looked at her husband, who was concerned about her and kept giving her instructions. The love that had been lingering in her heart surged forth!
