After feeding the dog, Xiang Jin was about to go home when her phone suddenly rang.
"What's going on? You're not living in Fengjia Village anymore? The neighbors said you moved away. Where did you move to?" It was Li Shuhui on the phone, her tone full of questioning and defensiveness.
Xiang Jin hung up the phone and replied on WeChat: "In the city."
Li Shuhui: "Where in the city? Send me the address."
Xiang Jin turned off her phone, not wanting to talk to her.
A little while later, Xiang Jin received a new message on WeChat. She opened it and read: "It's your dad's birthday on the 23rd. Bring Feng Jianian back for dinner."
Xiang Jin frowned: "He's busy."
Li Shuhui: "If you can't see him that day, you can try. Jiang Anqing is sick recently, so I don't think we need to buy medicine. Let him fend for himself."
Xiang Jin took a deep breath: "I'll take him back, just don't hurt her."
Li Shuhui's goal was to have her control over Feng Jianian, so that no one would threaten Xiang Qi upon her return to the country. But no matter how much she planned, who could have imagined that Feng Jianian was actually Murong Xiao?
If Xiangqi knew the truth, she would be kicking herself.
However, Xiang Jin is not prepared to reveal the truth now; for at least the next six months, she still wants to have him completely.
But how do I bring up the matter of returning to the Xiang family with Murong Xiao?
Will he help her?
Xiang Jin started to worry.
……………………
Business at the warehouse has been booming lately, and we're short-staffed. Everyone's incredibly busy.
After shouting for hires for more than half a month, they still couldn't find anyone. With a backlog of packages to deliver, Yu Xingfa slapped his forehead and decided to let Xiang Jin handle some of the simpler tasks.
I happen to have an order today; it's to pick up a package from a seven-star hotel in the city center.
After confirming the address, Xiang Jin sped off on his motorcycle.
I went up to the fourth floor in one go and found that it was a large hall, full of guests and very lively, as if a party was being held.
Xiang Jin quickly glanced at the sign at the entrance and gasped in shock: The Murong family? Murong Shan's birthday celebration?
Murong Shan... isn't he Murong Xiao's grandfather?
Xiang Jin clenched her sweaty hands and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, quietly slipped into a corner and sent a message to the sender: "Hello, I have arrived at the door. Could you please bring the package out for me?"
Soon, the other party replied with a text message: "Come in and get it."
Go in?
Xiang Jin was a little unsure.
But work is work, and since Murong Xiao hasn't arrived yet, she should grab the package and slip away without much trouble.
With that thought in mind, Xiang Jin walked into the venue.
The moment she stepped inside, the elegantly dressed young ladies, noblewomen, and gentlemen cast questioning glances at her, but upon seeing the words "Express Delivery" on her clothes, they turned away indifferently.
The venue was large, and Xiang Jin didn't know who the sender was. Just as she was about to send a message, a familiar voice came from inside the venue.
"Xiang Jin, over here!" Lu Yixuan, dressed in a dark white evening gown, waved to Xiang Jin.
Instantly, all eyes turned to her.
Xiang Jin felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
If she still didn't understand what was going on, then she was truly stupid. She took a deep breath and walked to Lu Yixuan's side: "Are you the one who wanted to send a package?"
Looking at her note, Lu Yixuan gave a light scoff: "Yes, it was me."
“But I don’t have any packages to send. I just wanted to call you over so you could see the grand occasion of Grandpa Murong’s birthday celebration.” Lu Yixuan swirled the red wine in her hand.
Looking at her smiling face, Xiang Jin's mood instantly soured: "Then I have something to do, so I won't play with Miss Lu anymore." She finished writing and left, but was stopped by Lu Yixuan.
"What's the rush? As Mrs. Murong and the proprietress of Fengrong, don't you want to see for yourself how unworthy you are?"
She was so unworthy that she could only appear here as a deliveryman, while Lu Yixuan was different; she could stand openly beside Murong Xiao.
Xiang Jin was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.
"You're surprised, how did I find out about this?"
Xiang Jin nodded. She was indeed very curious, and logically speaking, no third person should know about this.
"Of course, it was Brother Xiao who told me. In his heart, my status is much higher than yours! So, put away your wishful thinking. You will never become Mrs. Murong." Lu Yixuan smiled charmingly, but her words were more poisonous than poison itself.
Xiang Jin bit her lip and remained silent.
She understood this better than she did, but that couldn't be a reason for her to humiliate her.
"Since you're not sending a package, then I won't keep you company." Xiang Jin tossed the note to her and turned to leave.
“Who said I’m not sending anything?” She pointed to a cardboard box about half her height behind her. “This is what I’m sending.”
Xiang Jin walked toward the cardboard box.
She shook it, but it wouldn't budge. The thing inside was incredibly heavy. Lu Yixuan was clearly playing with her.
As the number of people in the venue increased, Xiang Jin realized that they could not delay any longer. She tried to lift the things up, but it didn't work. She then tried to carry them on her back, but that also didn't work.
Lu Yixuan stood there, looking at her smugly.
Xiang Jin's eyes instantly turned cold.
She picked up a stick from the corner and banged it hard on the cardboard box. After a few blows, she smashed the box to pieces.
"Xiang Jin, what are you doing!" The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the people in the venue, and everyone looked over, pointing and whispering about Xiang Jin and Lu Yixuan.
"I'm not sending this package anymore. I'll compensate you for the price." The cardboard box was full of bricks. Lu Yixuan was definitely messing with her.
After finishing writing, Xiang Jin was about to leave when Lu Yixuan behind her suddenly cried out in pain. She accidentally bumped into a drink in the buffet area, spilling orange juice all over Xiang Jin.
Today, the Express delivery workers wore white shirts, which got wet, and the color of their underwear was immediately visible through them.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I accidentally tripped and fell, that's why..." Lu Yixuan looked extremely innocent, but only Xiang Jin saw the smugness in her eyes.
More and more people gathered to watch.
Xiang Jin covered her chest with both hands, lowered her head and rushed out of the venue, just as she brushed past Murong Xiao who was coming up from the other side.
He glanced in the direction where Xiang Jin had disappeared and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xiao? What are you looking at?" Fang Xinman asked.
"It's nothing." The person's back looked remarkably like Xiang Jin, but she probably wouldn't be here. Murong Xiao withdrew his gaze and turned to enter the venue.
Xiang Jin ran as fast as he could, rushing out of the hotel.
Because he was rushing too fast, he accidentally bumped into someone at the doorway.
"It's you, Miss Xiang. Oh, why are you all wet?" Gu Feiyang was immediately filled with pity and said to the people around him, "Quickly go and prepare a clean set of clothes for our Miss Xiang to change into."
Xiang Jin shook her head, made a gesture of thanks, and continued walking out.
Gu Feiyang stopped her.
