When Xiao Muyu came out after her treatment, she saw Jiang Chengle sitting listlessly outside, with two seats between them.

She sat down next to Jiang Xiaoli and nudged her arm. "Did you bully him again?"

Jiang Xiaoli immediately denied it, "I didn't, it wasn't me, don't frame me!"

Xiao Muyu puffed out her cheeks, displeased, "Why do you always bully him!"

Her eyes widened. "You don't believe me!"

"I know you too well!" Xiao Muyu persisted.

Jiang Chengle overheard their conversation and came over, saying, "Xiaoyu, it's nothing, we were just joking around."

Jiang Xiaoli looked at him in disbelief, "So this is how you perform tea ceremony?"

Seeing that her daughter's treatment was over, Xu Feng greeted the nurse and came over.

She smiled and said, "Jessica just recommended a restaurant to me, shall we go try it for lunch?"

Jiang Xiaoli said sourly, "I wonder if those two would even like to have dinner with us."

Xiao Muyu pulled her to her side and said with a smile, "Mom, where is the restaurant Jessica recommended? Let's go there together."

Xu Feng thought for a moment and said half of what she had said, "Oh dear, I'd better have Jessica write the address down on a piece of paper for me!"

As she turned to leave, Xiao Muyu immediately grabbed Jiang Xiaoli's arm, saying, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my mother!"

She curled her lip, her eyes sweeping over the two of them. "Tsk tsk."

Xiao Muyu was very perceptive. "What does 'tsk tsk' mean?"

Jiang Xiaoli laughed in exasperation, "Comrade Xiao Muyu, aren't you being a little too domineering? You won't even let me have my way?"

Jiang Chengle spoke up to persuade her, "Xiao Li, I'll change the tomato and egg dish to a traffic light for you, so just say less."

She raised an eyebrow. "This isn't me blackmailing you!"

Jiang Chengle nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's all from my heart."

Xiao Muyu couldn't understand their code, "What do you mean by scrambled eggs with tomatoes and traffic lights?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and hugged her, "Can't we siblings have a few little secrets? What gives you the right to pry into our affairs?"

Xiao Muyu blushed deeply at those words. She glanced at Jiang Chengle and, seeing his bright smile, couldn't help but scold him playfully, "Xiao Li, you're so annoying!"

She'd be happy to just say she hates it and get another sports car!

"Ugh, I hate it the most! How could I be so annoying!"

Xiao Muyu was speechless. When she saw Xu Feng walking over with a piece of paper, she quickly went over to talk to her.

Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Brother Le, you two... you've made up your minds?"

Jiang Chengle laughed like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar. "Hehe, Xiaoyu said we can give it a try, but she wants to wait until it's officially confirmed before telling her family."

"Tsk tsk."

Jiang Chengle emphasized, "Isn't a sports car enough to keep quiet?"

Jiang Xiaoli patted his shoulder like a brother, "Brother Le, you're being too polite. I'm your sister! It's only right that I do this!"

Jiang Chengle immediately changed his tune, "Then we don't need another sports car, right?"

Jiang Xiaoli immediately said with a forced smile, "Hehe, Uncle Xiao and I are closer than father and daughter, so I feel it would be too much to not tell them the truth!"

Jiang Chengle: ...

Jessica recommended a fish and chips restaurant, and the food there made them all frown deeply.

Jiang Chengle looked at the food on the table and suggested, "Let's go eat something else. There's a very famous Western restaurant nearby that's better than this."

Xu Feng waved her hand, "Come on, it's better to eat at home. We can make it when we get back!"

They returned home with the lingering shadow of fish and chips.

Jiang Xiaoli turned her head to the left to look at Xiao Muyu, and then to the right to look at Jiang Chengle.

She was speechless. "What do you two mean by making me sit in the middle?"

Xiao Muyu took her arm and said, "Before we tell my parents, you have to be our shield."

Jiang Xiaoli pulled her arm back. "We're just saying, why should we?"

Xiao Muyu grabbed her clothes and wouldn't let go, "I don't care, you have to keep this a secret."

Jiang Chengle muttered quietly to himself, "You take people's money and do their bidding."

Jiang Xiaoli rolled her eyes. "I feel like a friendship between three people is a bit crowded. I'm planning to have an online romance with my Xiao Zong for a while."

Xiao Muyu still held onto her tightly, saying, "Zong Jiayu is busy right now, don't bother him."

She smiled slightly, pursing her lips, "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Zong should have already left work by now."

Just as she was about to leave, Xu Feng called them to eat, saying, "I checked the fridge, and there are some dumplings left over from when we made them before. Let's make do with these for lunch."

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoli returned to the Jiang family mansion with Jiang Chengle, carrying three suitcases.

After dinner, it was time to distribute gifts. Everyone in the Jiang family received one, and everyone was in high spirits.

That evening, Jiang Xiaoli was dragged to play mahjong with her grandmother and two aunts.

Qiao Xing'er advised, "Xiao Li, why don't you stay at home tonight? Your yard has everything you need."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Okay, Auntie, please have Uncle prepare more capital, otherwise it won't be enough for me to win."

"Hahaha!" Wang Min clutched her stomach and laughed uncontrollably. "Little Pear has this trick up her sleeve too!"

Jiang Xiaoli said confidently, "Second Aunt, please call me Mahjong Saint!"

Grandma Jiang laughed non-stop, "Let's see if you, the little mahjong master, are better, or if I, the old mahjong master, am better!"

“No problem!” She pointed to the phone. “I’ll call Xiaoyu and tell her I won’t be going home tonight.”

She quickly walked to the card table, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Let's go!"

Jiang Chengle stood behind her and said, "I've come to see if you're really that good."

Jiang Xiaoli stood the cards up, glanced at them, and then covered them up. "Take a look."

She didn't stand the cards up again throughout the entire process; her card-drawing and card-playing movements were incredibly smooth.

Jiang Chengle frowned and said, "Is it really okay for you to play recklessly just to prevent me from seeing your cards?"

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoli drew a card, and with a smile, she turned it over to reveal it, "Hehe, I won by self-draw!"

She then unfolded the paddle she had kept face down the whole time and stuffed the five of bamboo into it.

Grandma Jiang, Qiao Xing'er, and Wang Min were all stunned. "This is acceptable?"

Grandpa Jiang, holding a cup of tea, stood behind Grandma Jiang and said with a smile, "Little Pear has a photographic memory. Remembering a card is no big deal."

Grandma Jiang was even happier after losing the game, "Haha, Little Pear's little brain is really sharp!"

Qiao Xing'er and Wang Min, however, were starting to have a headache. On one hand, they had to feed their mother-in-law the cards, and on the other hand, they had to keep an eye on Jiang Xiaoli.

The game lasted less than an hour before the players were replaced, with Jiang Ruibo and Jiang Ruixin taking over for their wives.

However, their ending wasn't much better; in the end, Grandma Jiang and Jiang Xiaoli emerged victorious.

The two women smiled and high-fived, and Grandma Jiang stuffed the money she won into the hands of her grandchildren, saying, "Here, have some pocket money for you!"
