Chapter 214 Wang Ma's Identity

"But……"

Jiang Yao was about to say something, but Lan Qiuru held her hand directly, her eyes gentle. "To be honest, it's because I like you very much. This is obviously the first time I see you, but I can't help but want to be nice to you. Just consider this as a token of my love. Please accept it, okay?"

Jiang Yao felt a pang of sadness in his heart when he heard this.

Doesn't she like her too?

She even felt her mother's care from Lan Qiuru.

Although she had never seen her biological mother since she was a child and had no chance to see her, this was probably the impression she had of her.

"Thank you, auntie."

She finally accepted the gift. At worst, she could prepare one and give it back to him the next time they met.

End of shopping in the afternoon.

The two sides parted ways, Jiang Yao and Li Beiting left together.

Before leaving, Qin Jinxiu actually wanted to talk to her several times, but was cleverly blocked by Li Beiting.

Jiang Yao certainly noticed it, but did not stop this almost childish behavior.

On the one hand, she also wanted Qin Jinxiu to give up.

On the other hand... she began to condone Li Beiting's act of asserting sovereignty from the bottom of her heart.

But I don’t know if Li Beiting noticed anything. On the way back, his eyes were fixed on her face, and he chuckled from time to time.

Jiang Yao was almost covered in goosebumps.

When she was about to leave her house, she finally couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Beiting raised the corners of his lips again, his voice magnetic and gentle: "I heard someone say today that I'm dating you!"

Jiang Yao's pupils shrank, and a surge of heat instantly rushed to her brain. She blurted out, "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"So, you admit it?" The smile on Li Beiting's face deepened, and his eyes were surprisingly bright in the night.

Jiang Yao finally realized what was going on. His cheeks flushed, but he flatly denied it, "No! You heard wrong."

"Yeah?"

Li Beiting raised his eyebrows and walked closer, "But my hearing has always been good, I clearly heard..."

"That's your illusion!"

Jiang Yao turned her head away proudly, but half of her cheeks and neck were covered with rouge.

"It's getting late. I'll go back first."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Li Beiting's reply and hid in the house.

Li Beiting looked at her fleeing back with a smile, neither disappointed nor anxious.

He had plenty of time and patience, waiting slowly for her to open her heart to him.

…

When Jiang Yao arrived home, she found the living room empty. She opened her phone and saw a message from Aunt Wang that afternoon: "Miss, I'm sorry, I have to go home again. I've already said hello to the master and the mistress. You can come over for dinner. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Jiang Yao was a little surprised.

During this period, Aunt Wang went back frequently. Although she had said before that there was a happy event at home, this time she was even more hurried, and Jiang Yao couldn't help but worry.

She simply went to the villa next door, and the old couple were already waiting for her in the restaurant.

The table was full of her favorite dishes.

"Yaoyao, come and sit down. You must have worked hard outside! Try grandma's cooking." Old Mrs. Jiang waved at her.

Jiang Yao was touched, and after sitting down, the whole family had a happy meal.

During the meal, Jiang Yao couldn't help but ask about the situation at Wang Ma's home.

"You're talking about Aunt Wang. Actually, her family and ours have been friends for decades. With her current status, there's no need for her to be a servant in our house. It's only because she helped me take care of my daughter since she was young, and we have a deep bond, that's why she's stayed at home."

Old Mrs. Jiang felt a little sad when she mentioned her daughter.

After all, she was her only bloodline, and she died so early. When she was most sad and upset, it was actually because of Wang Ma's company that she was able to cheer up again.

"Her identity?" Jiang Yao had heard some of it from Wang Ma, but he didn't know the details.

"She is the heir of a martial arts family, and so is her husband. Back then, they were a perfect match, helping your grandfather and I resolve various internal and external troubles. Because of them, the Jiang family was able to overcome difficulties time and time again and remain standing today."

When Mrs. Jiang talked about the past, there was still a bright light in her eyes.

Jiang Yao listened with great interest.

"Wang Ma's husband is a man whom even I admire, but he is now semi-retired."

Old Master Jiang also spoke slowly, "I guess Aunt Wang has been going back so often lately because she's competing with her husband for the chance to inherit his martial arts skills. That old man is quite cunning! He's even feigning illness now, but it's nothing serious."

The more Jiang Yao listened, the more surprised he became. "Why do they want to fight over the heir? Aren't they from the same family?"

"That's not true. They don't learn the same martial arts, but from two different factions, and they are in a competitive relationship."

When Mrs. Jiang said this, she seemed to think of something funny.

"Both parties were trying to find heirs for their respective factions, and the two sides were fighting fiercely because of this."

Jiang Yao found it interesting.

In her impression, Wang Ma has always been gentle and loving to her, and she rarely sees her other side.

Although grandpa said it was not a big deal, Jiang Yao was still afraid. What if he really was not feeling well?

Previously, Wang Ma’s husband had given her a hand-held pendant, and she had promised Wang Ma that she would go and meet her family when she had the chance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao made a decision in his heart, "Grandpa and Grandma, I plan to go visit Aunt Wang and her family in the next two days, is that okay?"

"Of course, it's rare that you have this kind of heart."

Both the old couple expressed their support.

"Do you need us to accompany you?"

"No, just tell me the address."

Jiang Yao would never let the two old people travel such a long distance.

She immediately changed the subject, "By the way, Grandpa and Grandma, I actually made a new gift for you recently. Please wait for me."

She got up and went back to the house, and soon came back with her things.

"Grandma, I know you're afraid of the cold, so this is the scarf I made myself. It's very warm."

"And Grandpa, your waist is not in good condition. I used the best materials and design for this cushion. You can use it as a cushion on the chair from now on."

Having never been together before, she didn't know what they really needed.

But what she gave now was enough to prove her meticulous observation and touching filial piety.

The two old people were so moved that they almost burst into tears.

"Good girl, having a granddaughter like you is a blessing we earned in our previous life."

"If your mother were still alive, she would definitely be moved to see how successful her daughter is."

When Jiang Yao mentioned his mother, he thought of Lan Qiuru, whom he had just met today, and felt inexplicably sad.

She didn't want to upset the two elderly people, so she didn't say much.

The whole family enjoyed the happiness of family life.

Jiang Yao returned to her villa, went upstairs to wash up, turned on the computer and started updating her novel. Her inspiration was particularly strong tonight. She wrote three chapters in a row and sent them out, but she still felt a little unsatisfied.

She decided to write another one and immediately began to come up with ideas.

At this time, the phone screen lights up.
