One day, cyber worker Tu Hua woke up to find herself, along with her room, stuck between ancient and modern timelines by a system. She had inexplicably become the family deity worshipped for genera...
Chapter 227: After a Circle, We Connected Again
Tu Huan had put away the system's "magical power", and it was time for Xie Yuchuan to end his rest and set off on his journey.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Tu Huan walked out of the airport with her suitcase and ran into a man in a suit and tie sent by Jiang Li.
"Hello, Miss Tu, Director Jiang sent me to pick you up. Please come this way."
After stating his purpose, he stepped forward to take the suitcase from Tu Huan's hand and led the way.
Jiang Li sent a message: "Tu Huan, I'm sorry, I can't pick you up in person today. I sent Zhuang Zhou over. Did you see him?"
Tu Huan raised her eyes to look at the straight figure in front of her and typed a reply: "I see."
"Okay, if you have any problems in Haicheng, just look for him. See you later, baby."
"See you later."
A black luxury business car picked her up and left. The driver was a middle-aged man. He put away his suitcases and got into the car with Zhuang Zhou on his left and right.
Tu Huan heard Zhuang Zhou say to the driver, "Go back to the Jiang family."
In the back row, Tu Huan was a little surprised when she heard this: "Aren't we going to the hotel to settle down first?"
Zhuang Zhou turned around and explained, "Ms. Tu, Director Jiang asked me to pick you up and take you directly to the Jiang family to rest. If you feel inconvenient, do you want me to ask Director Jiang to change your hotel?"
"Oh, then let's listen to Jiang Li first." Tu Huan felt that something was a little strange.
But since it was Jiang Li's arrangement, let's do it this way for now.
An hour later, the two good friends who had not seen each other for a long time hugged each other in the Jiang family's villa. Only then did Tu Huan understand why Jiang Li took her directly to live at her home.
"You're getting married tomorrow, what's wrong with your legs?"
Comrade Jiang Li, the bride-to-be with a leg cast, flew into a rage the moment this was mentioned, cursing, "Don't mention it! I've never felt so miserable in my entire life. There's no such thing as the most unlucky, only worse! Huanhuan, I'm glad you came, otherwise I'd be so frustrated I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to."
Tu Huan was completely confused after hearing her incoherent words.
After Zhuang Zhou put Tu Huan's gift away, he stood by the door and said, "Director Jiang, everything related to Miss Tu has been arranged. If you need anything else, please feel free to call me."
Jiang Li turned her head and said gratefully, "Secretary Zhuang? Shu, thank you."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure." After saying that, he turned to Tu Huan and said, "Goodbye, Miss Tu."
"Okay, thank you."
After Zhuang Zhou left, in the huge Jiang family villa, there were only the owner Jiang Li and her, a guest who had just arrived today. There was also a servant in the kitchen who was making tea for the two of them.
Tu Huan looked at the atmosphere in the villa and said in surprise: "Are you...getting married?"
Why is there no wedding atmosphere inside or outside?
Jiang Li lifted her plaster leg, from the ankle to below the knee, like she was wearing a stone boot.
"You said, just like that, what the hell!"
When it comes to marriage, Jiang Li feels like smoke is coming out of her head.
Tu Huan's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Not getting married anymore?"
"Knot."
Tu Huan:?
Jiang Li sighed and put down her legs. Just then, the servant brought the tea over and gave Tu Huan a cup.
"I'll do it, be careful."
Jiang Li said, "Yesterday, Xie Siming took me out for dinner. On the way back, someone accidentally pushed me from behind. I'm fine. I just hurt my foot. It looks scary, but it's actually not that bad. I just can't stand and it hurts. Xie Siming is in a worse situation. He's still lying in the Xie family hospital. My parents and my brother have all gone there, but they haven't come back yet."
Tu Huan took a sip of tea and was shocked when she heard this: "Ah? How could this happen?"
"That's right, how could this happen? The wedding banquet is about to take place, and you say it happened suddenly! Those who know about it think it's an accident, but those who don't know about it don't know how you are trying to stab our Jiang family in the back and call me a jinx?" Jiang Li became more and more angry as she spoke.
Seeing her like this, Tu Huan knew that these words must have reached her ears.
Fortunately, Jiang Li was just grumbling and didn't particularly care about the rumors. She took Tu Huan's hand and said happily, "After the accident, I was thinking of letting you know that you didn't need to bother coming over, but then I realized that your itinerary and flight tickets were already booked in advance, and a change of heart would disrupt your plans. So why not come and let me play host? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Tu Huan really admired her generosity and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, your groom-to-be is still lying in the hospital, and you're still thinking about having fun? Aren't you worried?"
Jiang Li curled a strand of her long hair and snorted, "What's the point of worrying? The Xie family won't let me go to see them, fearing that I'll be unlucky and kill my new husband who just got his marriage certificate."
Tu Huan was shocked: "..."
"You people in Haicheng play so wildly?"
"Hahahahahaha—" Jiang Li burst into laughter, hugging Tu Huan and saying happily, "I really love being with you. I miss the days when we ate in the cafeteria together. Huanhuan, do you want to come to Haicheng to develop your career?"
Tu Huan raised her hands, "No! I'm very comfortable in H City."
Jiang Li laughed so hard that tears came out. Tu Huan looked at her with a worried look in her eyes and couldn't help asking her, "Are you really happy? This isn't just some abnormal reaction to a trauma, is it?"
This caused Jiang Li to burst into laughter again.
The worry in Tu Huan's eyes deepened.
Jiang Li smiled and covered her eyes with her hands, saying, "Don't overthink it, I'm really fine. I was quite worried at first, but then I realized that as long as I marry Xie Siming, this kind of thing, hey, it's only a matter of time, unless Xie Siming leaves the Xie family."
Ever since becoming the "house god" of the Xie family in Daliang, Tu Huan's ears have become extremely sensitive to the surname Xie.
"Xie family?"
"Yeah." Jiang Li moved to the inside of the sofa, leaned sideways, stretched her injured right leg on the edge of the sofa, and talked about her own misunderstanding of marriage. "It was only after I dragged Xie Siming to register that day that I found out that he was from the Xie family in Haicheng."
Someone sighed deeply, "If I had known he was from the Xie family, I would have picked up a cat or a dog instead of him!"
Tu Huan frowned, "You really haven't changed at all."
"You too." Jiang Li held Tu Huan's fair and tender face. "Did you take any preservatives? How come you don't have dark circles under your eyes even though you stay up late every day?"
Tu Huan slapped her claw away and changed the subject: "So, are you still going to have your wedding tomorrow?"
"Let's do it!" He changed the subject and said in a low tone, "I just don't know what his third brother is going to do."
"Why did another... Third Brother show up?" Tu Huan was stunned.
Moreover, I had a very bad feeling in my heart.
Jiang Li said, "Oh, it's the famous Xie Huailou in Haicheng. You don't live here, so you might not know it. It's Xie Siming's third brother. After his grandfather became ill, he and his eldest brother are now in charge of the Xie family. However, his eldest brother is not as capable as him, so basically, he makes the decisions on all the major matters of the Xie family."
really!
As soon as the three words "Xie Huailou" came out, Tu Huan felt her head buzzing.
After going around in circles, how did we get connected again?
