His deputy also sighed repeatedly.
After they finished speaking, they said goodbye to Commander Xiao and his men and left.
It was as if everything that had happened before was a misunderstanding.
Only the man who was put back into custody looked at Chairman Jiang's retreating figure with gritted teeth, knowing, even if he was stupid, that he had been used and then abandoned.
Commander Xiao watched them leave, then smiled and said to everyone, "Alright, since it was a misunderstanding, it's good that it's been cleared up. Everyone must be tired today, so go home early."
Xiao Che also ordered his soldiers to take the person away again.
Everyone knew that the Xiao family would have to hold a family meeting after this incident, so they didn't linger and left one after another.
Bai Yajing was about to follow along when someone grabbed her hem from behind.
She almost turned around and delivered a spinning kick, but then remembered that she was in the Xiao family's residence, and quickly suppressed her urge to strike.
She turned around to look behind her, wanting to see who dared to pull her.
Turning around, I saw a familiar handsome face, smiling brightly.
Seeing her turn to look at his hand, he realized he had done something wrong and quickly let go of her clothes.
"Excuse me, Comrade Bai, I have something to give you. Please wait for me! I'll be right back."
After saying that, he quickly went upstairs.
Bai Yajing instantly understood; this was a gift to thank her for saving her life!
Alright, she accepted the gift without hesitation. Perfect, it's not appropriate for her to keep that jade pendant; she'll return it to him later.
Having figured it out, she simply found a chair and sat down.
Meanwhile, Commander Xiao and his parents, who were seeing the people off, also witnessed the situation here and were completely dumbfounded and surprised.
Commander Xiao was alright; he understood the kid's intentions, but he just couldn't bear to look at his foolish expression and felt his grandson was a bit embarrassing...
Mrs. Xiao whispered in Mr. Xiao's ear, "What's wrong? When has your son ever laughed so cheaply?"
Mr. Xiao stroked his chin, thinking of his son who had always been a bit old-fashioned, and then comparing him to the way his son had just looked at other women with such a worthless grin. He shook his head. "He wasn't like that before, but I have a feeling it'll happen more often in the future..."
Xiao's mother glanced at Bai Yajing, who was sitting obediently in a chair waiting for someone, and then looked upstairs, sensing that something was amiss.
"Honey, are we not far from having a grandchild?"
She thought that Xiao's father thought the same way as her, but then she saw that both Commander Xiao and Xiao's father shook their heads at the same time.
"It seems that the young lady doesn't fancy your son..."
"Hey! There's still more grinding to do..."
The three of them were whispering too softly, and the surroundings were noisy, so Bai Yajing didn't hear them at all.
After everyone left, the three members of the Xiao family came over to greet her and then sat down to chat.
When Xiao Che came down, he had changed his clothes and looked refreshed. He was also carrying a package.
Commander Xiao and his two companions were all speechless at his appearance. What a show-off! He even changed his clothes in such a short time!
After Xiao Che came down, he handed the package to Bai Yajing. "Comrade Bai, thank you for saving me so many times. I have nothing to repay you with but this small gift. I hope you won't find it offensive. However, a gift is a gift. I will say the same thing again: if you ever need anything in the future, I will never stand idly by and will do everything I can to help you."
Bai Yajing took the package, feeling its weight in her hands. Listening to his words, her impression of this man improved even more.
"Okay, by the way, you left a jade pendant at my house before. I brought it here today, originally intending to return it to Grandpa Xiao."
As he spoke, he pulled out the jade pendant that was extremely familiar to all the Xiao family members present.
The scene fell into a deathly silence...
