Jiang Luoning returned home to the Jiang family. Father and Mother Jiang were drinking tea and playing chess with Grandpa Jiang.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm back~"
Jiang Luoning called out "elder" and ran to sit next to his grandfather. Looking at the chessboard on the table, he raised his hand to pick up a black piece and placed it down, then playfully said to Jiang's father sitting across from him, "Dad, you lose!"
Mr. Jiang looked at the chessboard and smiled without saying a word. At this time, Butler Li came in from outside, nodded slightly at the old man, and said, "Miss Dong Siqing of the Dong family wants to see the young lady outside." After saying that, he glanced at Mr. Jiang, and then looked at Jiang Luoning with an inquiring look.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Jiang Luoning, eager to gauge his reaction. It wasn't uncommon for young ladies and gentlemen from prominent families to approach Jiang Luoning before, but he'd always rebuffed them for various reasons. Their motives were clear: either they were seeking to curry favor with the powerful or curry favor, or they were hoping to gain connections with Jiang Luoning. The elders never tried to stop him, always letting him make his own decisions. They all knew the child's aloof personality, rarely finding outsiders close to him, let alone close confidants. If they could truly find a friend who genuinely connected with their child, as elders, they would undoubtedly be delighted.
When Jiang Luoning heard that the visitor was Dong Siqing, he raised his eyes, and a subtle chill was stained in his cold eyes, which disappeared in an instant. He asked in a cold voice, "Grandpa Li, is it Miss Dong herself who is visiting?"
"No, young lady, there is also Chen Xu, the adopted son of the Dong family." Butler Li answered truthfully.
Jiang Luoning didn't take Butler Li's words to heart. He tapped his legs with his slender fingers, thinking about the purpose of the two men's visit.
After a few seconds of silence, Youyou said, "Grandpa Li, please take the person to the living room first. I will come soon."
Jiang Luoning thought for a moment and asked Butler Li to bring the person in. She wanted to see what Dong Siqing would do if she hadn't lost her memory.
In the living room.
Butler Li brought Dong Siqing in, followed by Chen Xu. They both sat down and then ordered someone to pour two glasses of juice.
Jiang Luoning watched the two of them at the corner of the door for a while. Seeing that they were just sitting there obediently without any inappropriate movements, he went in. When he heard footsteps, the two of them stood up.
"Miss Jiang, have you felt better now after falling into the water at the banquet that day?" Chen Xu spoke first.
"Who are you?" Jiang Luoning didn't fail to recognize the troubled hypocrite in front of him, but wanted to test how Chen Xu would react.
Chen Xu didn't react at all, but Dong Siqing beside him spoke first: "Miss Jiang has a really bad memory. She doesn't even remember the person who saved her life?"
Hearing these sarcastic words, Jiang Luoning just smiled slightly. Jiang's father, who followed in behind, heard it and shouted: "Miss Dong, you are born in a noble family in the imperial capital. Do you know the consequences of the four words 'be careful in what you say and do'?" As soon as the words came out, his eyes were sharp. Jiang Luoning didn't expect that her father would follow her. She thought he was afraid that she would be deceived by the villain.
After seeing the person who spoke, Dong Siqing's body shook uncontrollably. After all, he was the former head of the Jiang family. Although he didn't care much about the company's family affairs now, the aura of a superior was still indelible.
"Uncle Jiang is right. Please don't blame me. My sister is the only daughter in the family and she is spoiled and domineering. I brought Siqing to apologize to Miss Jiang. Please don't take Siqing to heart." Seeing Dong Siqing's state in front of Jiang's father, Chen Xu spoke up to smooth things over.
Instead, Jiang's father walked up to Jiang Luoning and said softly, "Your eldest brother has ordered someone to change your cloakroom. Go and take a look when it's done. If you don't like it, just hand it over to the housekeeper and send it to the welfare home as before." Jiang Luoning nodded in agreement. Jiang's father turned and left without even giving the two people on the sofa a glance.
Watching Jiang's father leave, Dong Siqing clenched her fists and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Luoning walked over to the two of them and sat down and said, "I wonder what the young lady and young master of the Dong family came to see me today?"
Dong Siqing took out a box from her bag and put it on the table.
"Well, we're both from aristocratic families in the imperial capital, so we'll inevitably interact in the future. I've specially prepared a birthday present for Miss Jiang, and I hope you'll accept it." Jiang Luoning looked at the exquisitely carved wooden box on the table, reached out to take it, and opened it to reveal a crystal bracelet. In her previous life, she had worn this bracelet upon waking from a coma, and now it seemed to be the work of the two people before her. But when had she put it on? She couldn't remember. Recollecting her thoughts, she looked up at the two people across from her and accepted it without a word.
When the two saw that the gift was accepted, they changed the subject.
"Miss Jiang, why didn't the Second Master come to take care of you when you were sick?"
"Siqing, please don't be rude. The Fu Group is so huge, it needs Third Master Fu's care. How could he have the leisure to play around with you?" While Fu Linxiao was clearly busy, the subtext was that he didn't care about her, even when she was sick. In their previous life, these two had been in cahoots, openly and covertly smearing and mocking Fu Linxiao. Jiang Luoning didn't understand how she had believed such a clumsy green tea performance. Could it be that after losing her memory, she had lost her mind?
"What? Didn't you two come to give me gifts? Why doesn't Brother Lin Xiao affect your performance anymore? Or do you want to use this gift to find out something? In that case, you should take the gift back." After saying this, he pushed the gift towards the two of them and shouted, "Butler Li, please show me the guests. I have just recovered from my illness and cannot sit for long. Please go ahead."
Butler Li walked over to the two of them, stood still, nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal, as if there was nothing wrong with leading the way for them. The two of them stood up. Dong Siqing looked at Butler Li hatefully, stomped her feet and left. Chen Xu still nodded expressionlessly and followed him out of the living room.
Jiang Luoning watched the two disappear, his eyes fell on the wooden box on the table, then he took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Linxiao
Luo Ning: [Help me prepare a safe box that is isolated from the Internet.]
Xiao: [What happened?]
Luo Ning: [No, just a suspicion]
Xiao: [In the old house?]
Luo Ning: [Hmm]
Xiao: [Wait for me]
Ten minutes later, Fu Linxiao walked into the room with a silver metal box in his hand. Seeing the wooden carved box on the table, he didn't say anything and looked at Jiang Luoning. Jiang Luoning nodded slightly. He picked up the wooden box and put it in the silver box, then handed it to Lin Cong behind him, motioning him to deal with it. Lin Cong took it and turned to leave.
Jiang Luoning spoke only after seeing Lin Cong walk away.
"It was sent by the two brothers and sisters from the Dong family. They said it was a birthday present."
"Okay, I'll order someone to investigate. Stay away from those two people. We don't know what their purpose is. I'll talk to your eldest brother to send you some bodyguards." Fu Linxiao was really worried about Jiang Luoning's situation. Now the enemy is in the dark and their purpose is unclear, but they keep targeting Jiang Luoning, which makes him very uneasy.
Jiang Luoning knew that he was worried about her so she didn't refuse. They chatted for a few words, and when she saw the little girl started to yawn uncontrollably, Fu Linxiao left.
