She knew it was wrong of her to keep the young girl here, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight if she didn't resolve the issues between Tian Wenjia and Su Qianxue.
"Zou Zhiqing, what happens to them is none of your business, right?" Jiang Anxia lowered her head, a smile playing on her lips.
Interesting. It seems that none of the people in this educated youth compound are good!
Zou Lanjuan is even better at hiding her abilities than Su Qianxue!
“Yes, but their problems are affecting my sleep at night.” Zou Lanjuan frowned.
Jiang Anxia actually smiled. What does that mean? Did she see through something? Impossible! She hid it so well, how could anyone see through her?
She's probably overthinking it.
“Zou Zhiqing, this is just an excuse!” Jiang Anxia whispered in Zou Lanjuan’s ear.
Zou Lanjuan felt a tickle near her ear, and then she heard Jiang Anxia's words.
This changed her expression; she narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Anxia with a scrutinizing gaze.
"How could that be? I'm just worried that if their problems aren't resolved, they'll cause trouble again tonight, and then the whole educated youth compound will be in trouble." Although she had her doubts, Zou Lanjuan kept her composure and didn't show any sign of anything amiss on her face.
“What you’re saying… seems to make sense.” Jiang Anxia paused deliberately, just to see how Zou Lanjuan would react.
But now it seems she guessed right! She did notice the slight awkwardness that Zou Lanjuan showed when she paused.
"Since Comrade Jiang doesn't want to deal with it either, then you should leave!" Zou Lanjuan was scared; she was certain that Jiang Anxia had already guessed what was going on.
She dared not gamble, and could only helplessly let go of Jiang Anxia's hand, allowing her to leave.
Jiang Anxia chuckled softly, her meaning ambiguous, and turned to leave the educated youth compound.
Zou Lanjuan stared blankly at Jiang Anxia's retreating figure.
How could they have been discovered? They had concealed it so well!
"Zou Zhiqing? Zou Zhiqing?" Ai Guiping looked at Zou Lanjuan with confusion, wondering what she was thinking.
"Ah! What's wrong?" Zou Lanjuan came to her senses and looked at Ai Guiping.
"What...what should we do with them?" Ai Guiping cautiously pointed to the two people who were still facing off.
Zou Lanjuan frowned and looked over, "Never mind, let them do whatever they want!"
After saying that, Zou Lanjuan turned and went into the house.
Ai Guiping stayed where she was and thought about it for a moment. She felt that what Zou Lanjuan said made sense, so she followed her into the house.
Neither Tian Wenjia nor Su Qianxue, who were still in the courtyard, were willing to back down first; they both felt they were in the right.
But now that there's no one mediating between them, they don't dare to cause any more trouble.
The two snorted at each other angrily and went inside, ignoring each other for a moment.
As Jiang Anxia walked home after leaving the educated youth compound, she was lost in thought.
It seems that this fight between Tian Wenjia and Su Qianxue is not just their problem.
What role does Zou Lanjuan play in this?
Jiang Anxia was certain that Zou Lanjuan was also involved in Tian Wenjia's affair because she had clearly seen that Zou Lanjuan's eyes looked very strange.
The look in her eyes was completely different from Ai Guiping's.
Ai Guiping genuinely had no idea what had happened, and looked bewildered as the two seemed to be talking nonsense.
But Zou Lanjuan was different. Her eyes told Jiang Anxia that she already knew what had happened between the two of them, but was pretending not to know anything.
But what is Zou Lanjuan planning to do?
That's what's puzzling.
Forget it, she decided not to think about such a brain-taxing thing too much, otherwise she would lose all her hair, which would be a loss.
This is what it means to lose money.
She wanted to protect her precious hair.
As Jiang Anxia walked, she pondered things in her mind, but in the end, for the sake of her hair, she chose not to think about it anymore.
Because she's overthinking it, her hair will run away from home, and then she'll have nowhere to cry.
When we were halfway there, the snowflakes started falling sparsely again.
Seeing this, Jiang Anxia hurried home; she didn't want to grow old together.
After all, the snow melts and the water on your head is still quite cold.
Therefore, Jiang Anxia walked faster and faster, and soon arrived at the gate of the Jiang family's courtyard.
Then she saw Jiang's father walking outside. "Dad, where are you going?"
"Oh! Xiaxia, you're back! I just forgot about you and went out to look for you." Father Jiang smiled apologetically.
He would never admit that he had forgotten about his daughter.
"Oh! Let's go inside, it's too cold outside." Jiang Anxia rubbed her hands together and pulled her father's arm toward the main room.
"Xiaxia, slow down, slow down." Father Jiang hurriedly followed the pace of Guoshenzai, muttering to himself.
"You're back! Are you cold?" Jiang Nanqiu walked to Jiang Anxia's side and raised his hand to brush the snowflakes off her.
"It's alright, I'm wearing a lot of layers." Jiang Anxia shook her head slightly.
She was actually fine; she was wearing many clothes and her body wasn't cold, but her hands were.
"Hold this to warm your hands." As she spoke, Jiang Nanqiu took out a round object wrapped in blue cloth from her pocket.
Jiang Anxia could tell at a glance that it was the glass bottle that the original owner used to warm her hands.
This glass bottle is from an IV drip at the hospital. Jiang Nanqiu bought it from his classmate at the hospital after discovering that the original owner's hands were always ice-cold.
"Thank you, Third Brother." Jiang Anxia reached out and took it, a big smile spreading across her face.
Jiang Nanqiu chuckled softly and patted Jiang Anxia's head. "Go sit down and rest!"
“Okay.” Jiang Anxia nodded obediently and walked to the stool to sit down.
Jiang Anxia chose to sit in the corner, where it would be warmer.
Soon, her hands warmed up, no longer as cold as they had been.
Phew~ It's still so nice to be warm.
Jiang Anxia huddled in a corner, listening to the other members of the Jiang family chatting and laughing.
Jiang Nanqiu sat down next to Jiang Anxia, and slowly Jiang Anxia's little head rested on Jiang Nanqiu's shoulder.
Jiang Nanqiu felt a weight on her shoulder and looked down.
Jiang Anxia was already dozing off on his shoulder, her eyes half-closed.
Jiang Nanqiu chuckled silently. She's still just a little girl!
I adjusted my posture to make it more comfortable for Jiang Anxia to lean back.
"Mom, Mom," Jiang Nanqiu called softly to her mother, trying not to wake the little girl.
"What's wrong?" Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Nanqiu impatiently, but her voice gradually softened after seeing Jiang Anxia, who had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.
"Mom, bring Xiaxia's blanket from her room and put it on her!" Jiang Nanqiu said softly, afraid of waking Jiang Anxia.
"Alright, all of you keep your voices down, don't wake Xiaxia." Before leaving, Jiang's mother looked around and finally her eyes landed on Jiang's father.
