Chapter 239 I'm being abrupt

The train station is inconvenient to access, and traffic control has made the situation worse, with traffic jams all around.

Before leaving, the housekeeper handed her the phone that was lost on the cruise ship. Jiang Zhiyue was a little surprised.

She opened her phone and quickly browsed through it. She did not post anything on social media, take selfies, or share her hobbies. The only contents in her phone were text messages between her and Jiang Wanrou, and a few private messages between classmates. Apart from that, there was no other valuable information.

She wasn't worried that the phone would fall into the hands of others and be discovered.

There was no taxi available nearby, so Jiang Zhiyue took Jiang Wanrou out of the front gate. As soon as they got off the steps, a valuable Cayenne slowly drove into their sight, and the driver honked his horn.

Jiang Zhiyue hurriedly took Jiang Wanrou's hand and left in a hurry.

However, the people in the car seemed to have locked onto her, and the shrill horn honks continued.

The bright black Cayenne slowed down and followed slowly behind.

Jiang Zhiyue looked back and couldn't see the person in the back seat clearly, but there would be no one else as boring as him.

She seemed inexplicably annoyed and glared at him.

Through the bright car window, a few snowflakes fell quietly from the sky. The cold wind was blowing. The girl was only wearing a thin coat. Her little face soon turned red from the cold, and even the tip of her nose was stained pink.

Jiang Wanrou quickly took off her coat and gently wrapped it around the girl, then took out a glove from her pocket and carefully put it on her.

Jiang Zhiyue shook her head and just put on the gloves. While lowering her head, she glanced behind her vaguely, and the fleeting depression quickly disappeared in her eyes.

She pulled Jiang Wanrou and left at almost a running speed.

The man in the car supported his head with one hand and couldn't help laughing again.

"Zhiyue? This car has been following us..." Jiang Wanrou gestured and asked anxiously.

Jiang Wanrou has been worried and nervous recently. This anxiety is all due to her concern for Jiang Zhiyue. She has always taught Jiang Zhiyue to be careful in the Noble Academy, try to avoid making enemies with others, take good care of Gu Zhaoye, never offend him, and be grateful.

Because she was worried that Jiang Zhiyue, who was in adolescence, would become impetuous and get into trouble after seeing too many rich people at Wharton College.

Jiang Wanrou had seen this when she was in the slums. Those beautiful girls, relying on their outstanding looks, managed to find a job in the wealthy area. After witnessing the luxurious life, they chose to use their bodies as a shortcut to try to fit in.

But they often end up as a handful of dust thrown into the garbage incinerator.

In the early years, when Jiang Zhiyue was still very young, someone joked that she could change her fate with the help of her daughter. It would be better to send Jiang Zhiyue to the red-light district and let her be trained by the top brothel owner. Perhaps she could become a famous socialite when she grew up.

More and more malicious eyes were staring at the mother and daughter. In the middle of the night, there were still people harassing them outside. Until one time, when she came home from get off work and didn't see Jiang Zhiyue, she searched for a long time and almost thought her daughter was lost. She looked for her everywhere like crazy.

Fortunately, a kind-hearted person informed her that a gangster had broken into her house. Fortunately, Jiang Zhiyue cleverly escaped.

She saw Jiang Zhiyue by the river, rushed over and hugged her, crying. From that moment on, she vowed to protect her daughter.

Jiang Zhiyue told her that in order to avoid being bullied while living in the slums, she had to make her face look like a little cat, which would be safer.

When other little girls were Jiang Zhiyue's age, they all wore cute little dresses and were dressed up beautifully. Whenever Jiang Wanrou saw a girl sitting in a luxury car, wearing a diamond crown, like a princess.

She felt guilty and uncomfortable. Although she couldn't provide Jiang Zhiyue with superior material conditions, she had to at least give her a safe place to grow up.

From then on, Jiang Wanrou made up her mind to move out of the slums, even if she had to work as a slave in a rich family, at least she could improve her environment.

Her precious daughter was the most precious gift God had given her, and she must not live in the slums in obscurity her entire life.

When the opportunity came, she went all out.

The Gu family was recruiting servants and countless people were vying for one position. Jiang Wanrou had been laughed at by many people for being mute. However, when she was chosen by the interviewer, she felt extremely fortunate that she was mute.

Only those who can keep secrets can get more opportunities.

Now, Jiang Wanrou is hesitant, wondering whether her original decision was correct.

Jiang Zhiyue received the best education, but was also involved in too many troubles. Not long ago, the housekeeper sent a lot of dresses under the instructions of Mrs. Gu.

The maids all joked that Madam Gu treated Zhiyue as her goddaughter and that girls change a lot when they grow up. Zhiyue is now an adult, and Madam Gu must want to arrange a good marriage for her.

Snow flakes gently fell on the girl's face. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a drop of crystal water dotted on Jiang Zhiyue's eyelashes. She stretched out her hand and shook it gently, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Wanrou's pupils froze slightly, and even she was shocked by the girl's natural beauty at close range.

The Cayenne was parked on the side, with the window slightly lowered. A few snowflakes floated on the man's long eyelashes, unable to conceal his handsomeness.

Mu Liansheng brushed it away with his hand and looked out the window.

All the words Jiang Zhiyue didn't say were on the tip of her tongue. She clearly didn't want to see him, but she couldn't ignore him either.

Jiang Wanrou's eyes paused and she quickly bent down.

Mu Liansheng smiled and said, "Do you want me to take you home? You can't get a taxi around here for a while."

"Everyone has left, Master Mu should go home quickly." Jiang Zhiyue said.

Mu Liansheng thought this sentence was ambiguous, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Wanrou recognized Mu Liansheng's identity. Among these young masters, Mu Liansheng's peach blossom eyes were the most impressive.

He looked at Jiang Zhiyue with a smile, but ignored Jiang Wanrou. Seeing the woman being so respectful, he narrowed his eyes with interest, "Zhiyue and I are classmates, so there's no need to be so formal, auntie."

Having said that, Mu Liansheng's lazy and playful expression showed no sign of abating.

He continued: "Can't Aunt speak?"

Jiang Wanrou was stunned and raised her head unexpectedly.

The man in the car has an elegant temperament and dignified manners. Even when he is sitting, he gives people a feeling of being superior.

Mu Liansheng shook his head and smiled to himself, saying in a friendly and polite manner, "Sorry, I was rude."

"I often see Jiang Zhiyue worrying about your situation, and I can't help but show some concern."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Wanrou's eyes. She looked at Mu Liansheng, then at Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue took a deep breath secretly. She didn't want to make Jiang Wanrou worry, and she didn't want Jiang Wanrou to know... anything related to Mu Liansheng.
