Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Departure to Fenglin Villa Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Departure to Fenglin Villa Mr. Jiang: “…”
What an injustice!
A huge miscarriage of justice.
Sitting at home, yet accused of infidelity from the heavens.
Ancestors, you shouldn’t say such things!
His face turned red as he seriously dropped the line, “I didn’t!”
[Tsk tsk tsk, guilty people are the ones who keep denying, aren’t they? You like Aunt Chu, huh? So old and still fond of beauty—no wait, men are forever young, alas, it can also be considered charming.]
Mrs. Jiang’s gaze could almost kill someone.
Despite the air conditioning in the Jiang Family villa, Mr. Jiang was drenched in sweat as if he had washed his clothes with it.
Literally dripping with sweat.
He chuckled, “Kids say the darndest things, kids say the darndest things. I didn’t cheat, I’ll come help you move things right away.”
He couldn’t stay in the living room a moment longer.
Worried that Jiang Nanshu, that little witch, might blurt out some wild accusations making it impossible for him to clarify later.
Jiang Hemian headed to the kitchen to pick knives.
He said he wasn’t accustomed to using knives from outside to cut fruits.
The ones at home felt more right.
Previously, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with this statement—it’s all about personal tastes and interests.
But after Jiang Nanshu’s interpretation, that totally sounds like something a weirdo would say!
Everyone returned to their rooms to fetch what they needed.
Jiang Nanshu looked at the pile of gems in front of her.
This is bad, it seemed that apart from gems, there were still gems.
Nothing else worth bringing.
Jiang Yunchuan brought a gaming console, as he developed games himself and was quite addicted to gaming.
Once everyone was ready.
Jiang Nanshu carried a large bag full of gleaming gems.
Jiang Zhouye’s mouth twitched like he had Parkinson’s, “What do you need these for? Afraid they’ll get stolen at home?”
Jiang Nanshu zipped up the bag and scoffed dismissively, “Have you ever seen a child that can stay away from their mom?”
After speaking, she gently patted the bag.
They were all her treasures.
Jiang Zhouye: “…”
At four o’clock in the afternoon.
The family finally settled into the cars heading to Fenglin Villa, taking up four vehicles in total.
Two people per car, along with a designated driver.
Jiang Nanshu and Jiang Leyi sat together.
Jiang Leyi frowned slightly as she read the message from Chu Muxi, “Xixi also invited Cheng An and those other spoiled young masters to join. I don’t know what she’s thinking.”
Jiang Nanshu continued, “That’s good, Sister Chu’s good friend, we should welcome them graciously.”
Jiang Leyi: “…”
Hadn’t she seen Jiang Nanshu slap Cheng An a few times at school? Where was the grace then?
She truly feared they might bump into each other and start fighting again.
Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
It would indeed look bad in front of the adults,
considering everyone in this circle was a “familiar” business acquaintance.
[If we don’t invite Cheng An, how would we bring Su Ran over? If Su Ran doesn’t come, how would we lure Lu Qingyan here? It’s all her calculated plan, this messy love triangle.]
Lu Qingyan and Su Ran?
Jiang Leyi thought he hadn’t even broken off his engagement with her sister yet!
Shouldn’t he avoid this somehow?
The two of them mixing together was quite embarrassing for both the Lu and Jiang families.
What she didn’t expect was…
Lu Qingyan indeed showed up with Su Ran.
Cheng An was still following behind.
Jiang Leyi: “…”
Admiringly looked at Jiang Nanshu, she really was insightful.
But this development made her feel uncomfortable; she even started disliking Lu Qingyan.
Jiang Nanshu seemed much calmer about the outcome.
The magnetic fields of the male and female protagonists were indeed connected.
There was a ninety percent chance they would meet.
[Look, I knew it, these two are definitely going to be paired up, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, quite noticeable.]
Lu Qingyan looked up at Jiang Nanshu who had just gotten out of the car.
He pursed his lips toward Su Ran at his side when suddenly a little tyke burst out, pushed Su Ran away, and pouted, “You’re the bad woman who abandoned my little uncle, stay away from him.”
Cheng An hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Ran, who almost fell.
He could barely hide his vexation.
If it weren’t for this little brat being from the Shang Family, he would have really liked to slap some manners into this kid.
Lu Qingyan grabbed Shang Xu’s collar, his expression cold, “Xiao Xu, don’t be so impolite.”
Shang Xu broke free from Lu Qingyan’s grip and with a childish huff said, “Bad uncle, I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going to find Sister Nanshu.”
Having said that, he ran off, a small white dog chasing after him, both clearly heading towards… Jiang Nanshu.
[Damn it, why are this brat and a dog even here? Don’t tell me I have to feed the dog during the vacation, I eat kids!]
But it was already too late.
Shang Xu grabbed Jiang Nanshu’s skirt, his eyes sparkling, apparently no longer mad at Jiang Nanshu from yesterday.
“Sister Nanshu, Little Ha and I came to see you.”
Jiang Nanshu gave a feigned smile, “No need to come specially, I’m not really into feeding dogs.”
Shang Xu tilted his head, blinking his grape-like eyes, not quite understanding, “Why? Is it because Little Ha isn’t well-behaved? It doesn’t poop everywhere.”
“Woof woof,” Little Ha barked appropriately a couple of times.
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
She pointed at Su Ran, “Go find her, she’s a dog training expert, even the fiercest ones she can tame.”
Jiang Leyi couldn’t help but laugh as she glanced at Cheng An.
Jiang Nanshu really was good at indirect criticism.
But they were too far away for anyone to know why Jiang Leyi was laughing at them.
But Cheng An was really annoyed at the sight of Jiang Nanshu.
His frown showed his distaste, “Ranran, let’s go inside, you’re here to have fun with me, no need to bother with these people.”
Su Ran’s eyes were downcast, clearly hurt by Shang Xu’s words.
Her lips moved, but remembering Huang Ruanting’s advice to speak up and tell the truth about what happened years ago, she thought that Lu Qingyan would forgive her.
But she didn’t know how to start.
She could only say, “Lu Qingyan, believe it or not, I really didn’t leave you because of that money…” she then forced a relaxed tone, “Do you remember the promise you made me before we graduated high school?”
Lu Qingyan’s memories hazily drifted back three years.
Back then, Su Ran had her ponytail high, her young and pure features smiling vividly in the sunset while they walked side by side on the tree-lined path.
She playfully smiled and said, “Qingyan, have you thought about how you’ll repay me for saving your life?”
At that time, he was silent for a while before responding, “No, but I can grant you one wish, within my capabilities.”
Su Ran smirked cleverly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Qingyan’s calm and handsome face.
Bathed in the sunset, he looked really good, his delicate features making even the scenic campus backdrop seem like just an accessory.
“So, be my boyfriend after graduation, I want to be with you.”
Seeing that Lu Qingyan hesitated to respond, fearing rejection, she quickly added, “This is within your capabilities, you can’t refuse me.”
After a long time, he finally answered with a simple, “Okay.”
Heaven knows, she was so excited that day that she couldn’t sleep.
She had finally plucked this widely admired noble flower.
If nothing had gone wrong…
Would they have been a happy couple?
Her heart ached sharply. Why must people only regret when they’ve lost something? Su Ran always thought as long as she explained, there would still be room for them.
But in her ears was Lu Qingyan’s chilly, emotionless voice, “Su Ran, that request is now void.”
