They saw Jiang Yanxin again when they were preparing to leave.
A black Maybach was parked outside the yard, followed by a small bus. A large group of people were standing outside the yard, talking about something, including He Liyu.
Shen Linyue's gaze swept across the crowd and precisely spotted Jiang Yanxin standing next to Jiang Jinyu.
Jiang Yanxin looked much better, with a rosy complexion and a gentle demeanor. Standing next to Jiang Jinyu, they looked like a perfect couple.
If both of them are good people, Shen Linyue might even ship them.
Jiang Yanxin seemed to sense her gaze and turned her head to meet it.
At that moment, Shen Linyue clearly saw a deep meaning flash across her eyes, and then the other person suddenly smiled gently and walked towards the two of them.
He Xiao was very wary of the Jiang family. When Jiang Yanxin came over, he stared at her with great vigilance, as if he was afraid that she would do something in public.
Jiang Yanxin completely ignored He Xiao and looked at Shen Linyue with gentle eyes.
"Ah Yue, come play again next time!"
Shen Linyue raised an eyebrow. She had pretty much revealed her hand now, and Jiang Yan thought it was understandable for her to further probe and investigate her.
But looking at her current demeanor, Shen Linyue was curious about how she had managed to adjust her mindset so quickly in just three hours to face her.
The girl smiled politely and said, "Sure, if Uncle Jiang doesn't mind, I'll come when I have the chance."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft; everyone in the outermost circle could hear it.
Several people's eyes lingered on the two of them. Jiang Yanxin's smile froze, and she gave her a deep look.
Even at this point, she was still thinking of digging a hole for her.
"Does your Uncle Jiang seem like a petty person? He won't be angry if I make this decision for him," Jiang Yanxin said with a smile, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss.
"Who knows if you have ulterior motives?" He Xiao scoffed dismissively. "Only someone as unsophisticated as Jiang Zhixing would like such a boring place."
Jiang Yanxin's smile faded, and she finally dared to shift her gaze to him, giving him a light but intimidating look: "What do you mean by this, A-Xiao? A-Xing travels to domestic and international competitions every winter and summer vacation, and has won quite a few honors over the years. I wonder how many gold medals you have won?"
He Xiao didn't take the pressure she exerted seriously at all. Hearing her boastful tone, he rolled his eyes in disdain.
"Oh, should I deduct 6 from his score?" He replied with a grin, "Aunt Jiang, you really need to read more books. You can't even do reading comprehension, tsk."
He talked to her about this, and she talked to him about that.
Besides, what does Jiang Zhixing's matter have to do with him?
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what "6" meant. When she heard his next sentence, her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Her feigned gentleness vanished, and she was so angry that her eyes bulged like copper bells. Her chest heaved rapidly, and she managed to restrain herself from losing her temper in public.
Seeing the situation, Shen Linyue quickly shielded He Xiao behind her, though the effect was minimal, as she was far shorter than him, and the boy's arrogant and domineering attitude was still exposed to Jiang Yanxin.
"Sister Yanxin wouldn't really hold a grudge against a child, would she? Our A-Xiao has always been straightforward, and someone as magnanimous as Sister Yanxin surely wouldn't mind, right?" Shen Linyue said gently and innocently.
Jiang Yanxin: "..." A mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat, neither rising nor falling.
Whose little kid is 185cm tall? Huh?
Now she has to swallow this bitter pill whether she likes it or not. She glared at the culprit, He Xiao, and forced a smile.
"Why would I mind? Hehe." Her smile was quite unpleasant.
If Lin Yue hadn't warned him, He Xiao would have almost burst out laughing on the spot, which was a way of giving Jiang Yanxin some face.
"Ah Yue, Ah Xiao, we should go." He Liyu walked over at some point.
Out of politeness, he glanced at Jiang Yanxin and gave her a casual greeting before walking straight between the two children. He raised an eyebrow at He Xiao, who was suppressing a laugh.
Then Jiang Yanxin's sarcastic voice came from beside him: "Sometimes I really want to discuss parenting experience with President He, hehe."
He Liyu turned around and indeed saw that Jiang Yanxin's face was ugly. Combined with He Xiao's reaction, he roughly understood what had happened.
However, he did not blame He Xiao, and nodded slightly: "Ah Xiao has always been straightforward, but he really didn't mean any harm. President Jiang also has children, so he should be able to understand, right?"
Jiang Yanxin: "..." She was so angry she was about to explode.
These two are even saying the exact same things! Lin Yue must be Shen Lin Yue! These two are treating her like a fool!
"I……"
"Mr. He, please bring your children over to play again next time. In a while, all the plum blossoms in my yard should be in bloom. Come and enjoy the beautiful scenery then, and maybe you'll even have topics for your winter vacation essays," Jiang Jinyu said with a smile as he walked over.
His gaze swept from He Xiao to Shen Linyue before pausing slightly, and he even gave her a friendly wink.
Shen Linyue: "..." Does he think he's an eighteen-year-old young man? Speechless.
He Liyu naturally saw this scene, blocked Shen Linyue, and gave him an unpleasant look: "Is President Jiang very free as the year draws to a close?"
Jiang Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, we'll talk about it later. Looking at how protective you are of your own, what could I possibly do to your sister-in-law?"
"You know they're still just kids?" He Liyu said with a smirk.
Jiang Jinyu: "..." Don't make him sound like a beast.
"Forget it, let's hurry up and go, it'll be dark soon if we stay any longer." Jiang Jinyu said, urging them to leave without saying a word.
"Um."
...
Everyone who came today has left, and the manor quickly became quiet, leaving only Jiang Jinyu and Jiang Yanxin in the courtyard.
"Ayan, are you finding it increasingly difficult to control your emotions?" Jiang Jinyu looked at her with tenderness and affection, and gently brushed the snow off her head.
Jiang Yanxin paused, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and after a long while she whispered, "I won't affect your progress, I will take my medicine obediently."
Jiang Jinyu did not answer her question. His gloved, slender hand was already stroking her face from above her head. He looked at her with deep affection and focus, as if he were looking at someone through her.
"Don't overlook Ah Xing either. His temper has been acting strangely lately. Has something happened?"
Jiang Yanxin suddenly remembered the words He Xiao had just said, and her eyes darkened.
"It's nothing, he's just being grumpy with me again. When will the three of us be able to go out together as a family? Ah Xing is probably envious of other children who have their parents by their side." She didn't look into his eyes, but lowered her gaze and said softly.
Jiang Jinyu's hand, which had been resting on her face, visibly stiffened. The affection in his fox-like eyes vanished, and he lowered his gaze to look at the woman in front of him, his tone gentle but his eyes indifferent.
"It'll be soon, Ah Yan, can you wait a little longer?"
Jiang Yanxin did not reply. She kept her head down, and after a long while, she chuckled and nodded obediently.
