"Who knew that after all this time, that girl would still be so easily teased?" Jiang's mother was also surprised that Jiang Anxia had actually run away.

Jiang Anxia dashed out of the Jiang family's courtyard.

No one told her that her mother would ask such a question! Luckily, she ran fast.

Jiang Anxia now understands her position in the family; she is genuinely pampered and genuinely teased.

Facing the evening breeze, Jiang Anxia walked towards the house not far away.

She really meant it when she said she was looking for Jiang Zhuohua.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, I saw a suspicious-looking girl at the entrance, bending over and peeking into the yard through the crack in the door.

Because it was summer, even in the dark, the person's back was still clearly visible, making Jiang Anxia feel increasingly familiar with him.

It was Jiang Xiaohua, it was her!

What is she doing here?

Outside the door, Jiang Xiaohua was crouching down, prying at the crack in the door with both hands.

When she got off work today, she accidentally saw a man.

She was wearing a white shirt, and she was exceptionally beautiful with a tall and slender figure.

Jiang Xiaohua secretly followed the man until she saw him enter the house. Only then did she go home, prepare dinner for the family, eat a few bites absentmindedly, put down her bowl, and run out again, completely ignoring her mother's scolding behind her.

Of course, she inquired about it before she arrived.

It turned out that he was a newly arrived educated youth, but she didn't know why he wasn't living with the other educated youth.

All she knew was that this man must be very rich, otherwise he wouldn't be staying out alone with other people.

If she wins over this man, does that mean she'll have plenty of money to spend in the future?

When he returns to the city, she can go with him there.

She would no longer have to envy Jiang Anxia; on the contrary, Jiang Anxia might even envy her.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Jiang Xiaohua was overjoyed, as if she had already obtained everything.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Anxia quietly walked up behind Jiang Xiaohua and asked slowly.

"Ah..." Jiang Xiaohua was so startled by Jiang Anxia's sudden voice that she fell to the ground and crawled two steps.

Upon recognizing who it was, Jiang Xiaohua's expression changed, and she angrily retorted, "Jiang Anxia, ​​are you crazy?! Is it fun to scare me?"

In the past, Jiang Anxia should have apologized to her.

"You're the one who wanted to peep at others here, so who's to blame?" Jiang Anxia shrugged, her tone indifferent.

"Apologize to me now, and I'll forgive you." Jiang Xiaohua didn't notice Jiang Anxia's change; her mind was still on the shout Jiang Anxia had just given.

She just hoped that the people inside the house wouldn't open the door to look, otherwise it would be difficult to get close to the man.

But her expectations were just that—expectations. As soon as she called out, Jiang Zhuohua was holding a piece of wood, which he used to measure whether the stove had been repaired.

As a result of that shout, he was so startled that he lost his grip and dropped it.

But why does that voice sound so familiar? I scratch my head, I can't remember, so I'll just forget about it.

Seeing that Jiang Zhuohua immediately put the matter out of his mind and continued with the task at hand.

When Lin Bai heard the call again, he paused for a moment, then walked towards the door.

Upon opening the door, Jiang Anxia was immediately seen. Looking down, she noticed another person sitting on the ground, and it seemed that the shout had come from her.

"Comrade Jiang, what's wrong? And what about her?" Lin Bai frowned as he looked at Jiang Xiaohua sitting on the ground.

"It's nothing, is my brother still busy?" Jiang Anxia didn't tell Jiang Xiaohua what she had just seen.

"Yes, are you waiting for him? You can come in and wait." As she spoke, she opened the door halfway.

"Okay, thank you!" Jiang Anxia thought for a moment and decided to wait for Jiang Zhuohua to go back together.

Seeing that Jiang Anxia was about to go inside, Jiang Xiaohua on the ground finally came to her senses and hurriedly reached out a dark hand to grab Jiang Anxia's clothes.

"Xiaxia, I also want to go in and wait for Brother Zhuohua."

Jiang Anxia paused, then her gaze fell on the hand tugging at her clothes. "Let go," she said coldly.

"Xiaxia, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Xiaohua looked at Jiang Anxia in disbelief. How could this little bitch talk to her in such a tone?

"Deaf? If you don't let go, you'll face the consequences." Jiang Anxia's gaze slowly moved from Jiang Xiaohua's hands to her face.

Perhaps startled by Jiang Anxia's gaze, Jiang Xiaohua subconsciously let go of her hand.

But the next second, she said in a wronged voice, "Xiaxia, how could you say that to me?"

"Are we that close? Please don't call me that." Jiang Anxia looked at Jiang Xiaohua, who was pretending to be innocent, without any emotional reaction.

"Why don't you come in first, Comrade Jiang?" Lin Bai looked around and decided to let Jiang Anxia in first.

As for the others, he didn't know them.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anxia bypassed Jiang Xiaohua and entered the courtyard. Lin Bai quickly closed the door, completely ignoring the fact that there was still a living person outside.

Jiang Xiaohua watched helplessly as the courtyard gate closed in front of her, and no one paid any attention to her.

No, Jiang Anxia is wrong. She shouldn't be treating her like this today. Does she know that she deliberately made her wait for her in the scorching sun that day?

That's impossible! Jiang Anxia is so stupid, how could she possibly think of such a thing? She must be overthinking it. I'll go find Jiang Anxia again tomorrow and I'll know.

In the end, Jiang Xiaohua could only return home in anger.

In the courtyard, Lin Bai was curious about Jiang Xiaohua, whom he had seen at the door earlier.

Who was that woman just now?

“My cousin.” Jiang Anxia glanced at him indifferently. “Interested in her?”

It's okay if you're interested, but Jiang Xiaohua is a complete ingrate.

They took so many things from the original owner without saying thank you, and even caused the original owner's death.

"How is that possible?!" Lin Bai shook his head immediately upon hearing this.

He'd have to be blind to like that woman.

Actually, Jiang Xiaohua has a pretty face, neither particularly beautiful nor ugly.

But in Lin Bai's opinion, he had seen many people prettier than Jiang Xiaohua; none of them interested him, let alone someone as plain and unattractive as Jiang Xiaohua.

"Brother, how much longer?" As he spoke, he had already reached the kitchen doorway.

Jiang Zhuohua was still making some corrections, and Gu Yanzhu was helping him.

"Xiaxia? What brings you here?" Jiang Zhuohua turned to look at Jiang Anxia as soon as he heard his younger sister's voice.

"Let me take a look." Jiang Anxia smiled, looking very obedient.

"What about that scream just now?" Jiang Zhuohua was now curious about the scream.

“It was Jiang Xiaohua. When I arrived, I saw her bending over at the door, looking inside. I walked up behind her and said something, and she screamed in fright.” Jiang Anxia said it directly; she never intended to hide anything from Jiang Xiaohua.
