Chapter 74 Xia Jing
74
Jiang Siyu: "Xia Jing often comes here to buy tea for Grandpa Xia."
“Xia Jing?” Fu Lin frowned; the name was familiar to her.
Like the Fu family, which was also impacted by the market, the Xia family was one of the companies that faced bankruptcy back then.
However, the Xia family later received a large sum of money from somewhere, which allowed them to barely survive.
However, although the Xia family did not go bankrupt because of that investment, its assets shrank significantly, and it had long since fallen out of the ranks of the top wealthy families in Haicheng.
Fu Lin knew Xia Jing because the Xia family and the Fu family were in the same situation back then, which is why she understood her.
But why does Jiang Siyu know Xia Jing?
"Do you know her?" Fu Lin asked tentatively.
"I don't know her," Jiang Siyu denied.
Why come here looking for her if you don't even know her?
Fu Lin felt something was strange but didn't press the matter further. Jiang Siyu had her own reasons for doing things, and she didn't need to interfere.
Soon, the tea master from the teahouse came to brew tea for the two of them, and the snacks and pastries they ordered were served one after another.
The pastries at this teahouse were exquisitely made. Fu Lin took a few photos because they looked so good. Seeing that Jiang Siyu was sitting there without reacting, she urged her:
"Take a picture and send it to Bo Siye."
"?" Jiang Siyu looked at her in confusion.
Fu Lin clicked her tongue: "Everyone knows to take the initiative to message you and contact you, can't you take the initiative too?"
"I did take the initiative," Jiang Siyu defended herself. She had taken photos of herself having dinner with company employees and showed them to Bo Siye.
"How many times?" Fu Lin asked.
"……once."
"Take the picture quickly and send it over," Fu Lin ordered directly.
Jiang Siyu silently did as instructed.
However, there is a six-hour time difference on Bo Siye's end, so he did not reply immediately.
Jiang Siyu didn't wait; she put down her phone after sending the message.
Fu Lin looked at her indifferent and calm demeanor and asked in confusion, "Is this how you usually interact with Bo Siye?"
Fearing Jiang Siyu might not understand her meaning, Fu Lin added, "So cold?"
cold?
Jiang Siyu shook her head, recalling the times she spent with Bo Siye.
"We just don't exchange messages often." But in real life, Jiang Siyu and Bo Siye are quite close.
“Okay.” Fu Lin knew Jiang Siyu’s personality, and it would be a bit difficult for her to be clingy.
"However, you still have to show it if you like someone, otherwise how will they know you like them if they can't sense it?"
“…Hmm.” Jiang Siyu took a sip of tea and suddenly chuckled.
"What's wrong?" Fu Lin looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she had said that made Jiang Siyu laugh.
"I was just thinking, you've never been in a relationship, so how are you so confident that you can teach me?"
Family, your best friend has suddenly turned on you.
Fu Lin stared speechlessly at Jiang Siyu until her smile widened, at which point Fu Lin finally spoke:
"Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've still seen pigs run, right? I usually immerse myself in my roles when I'm filming, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Siyu nodded quickly. As long as one of them was willing to teach and the other was willing to listen, that was fine.
"Miss Xia, this way please."
The sound coming from the stairs interrupted Jiang Siyu's smile, and she and Fu Lin looked in the direction of the sound almost at the same time.
A girl dressed in a preppy knitted skirt suit was led up to the second floor by a waiter.
Fu Lin had met Xia Jing before, so she recognized her at a glance.
She reminded Jiang Siyu, "That's Xia Jing."
Jiang Siyu hummed in agreement. She had Xia Jing's information and knew what she looked like.
But Xia Jing didn't notice Jiang Siyu and Fu Lin.
She frequented this teahouse, and after refusing the waiter's offer to accompany her, she headed straight for her usual private room.
Just as we were about to reach our destination, I suddenly heard someone call out "Miss Xia".
Xia Jing stopped and turned around in confusion.
Then he met Jiang Siyu's clear, cold eyes.
For a moment, Xia Jing didn't know how to react.
As she watched Jiang Siyu get up and walk towards her, her heart began to race uncontrollably.
She just called me Jiang Siyu? Why did she call me that? How does she know me?
Countless thoughts flashed through Xia Jing's mind until Jiang Siyu was already in front of him, at which point Xia Jing barely managed to calm down.
She took a deep breath: "Did President Jiang call me?"
The phrase "President Jiang" succinctly explains why Xia Jing knows Jiang Siyu.
"Hmm." Jiang Siyu nodded: "I heard that Miss Xia is quite knowledgeable about tea ceremony. I came here today to buy some tea for Fu Lin's parents, but I don't know what to buy, so I would like to ask Miss Xia for help."
Jiang Siyu's excuse was clumsy and perfunctory, since the waiters at the teahouse would explain in detail what kind of tea she wanted.
But Fu Lin cooperated very seriously, "Yes, my parents love drinking tea." She familiarly stepped forward and hugged Xia Jing's arm:
"Miss Xia, could you do me a favor?"
Fu Lin's coquettishness came on so easily, without a hint of insincerity.
Xia Jing wanted to refuse, but with Fu Lin holding her back like this, she couldn't just leave.
She forced herself to calm down and went into the private room with the two of them to introduce them to some of the shop's top-quality teas.
After Jiang Siyu made a note of it, she immediately asked the waiter to pack it up.
Seeing this, Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious. She stood up and said, "I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Okay." Jiang Siyu smiled at her, and only spoke again after Xia Jing had reached the door:
"Miss Xia,"
Xia Jing stood there, her back stiff.
Jiang Siyu: "Grandpa Xia was a good friend of my maternal grandfather. I didn't visit him when I was away from China a few years ago, but now that I'm back, I naturally have to go and pay him a visit."
"I asked the waiter to pack an extra portion of those teas for you to take back to Mr. Xia. Please also tell him that Jiang Siyu will definitely visit him in person another day."

Xia Jing didn't know how she walked out of the teahouse. Only when she came to her senses did she realize that the boxes of tea in her hands weighed a ton.
When Jiang Siyu said those words, she didn't even dare to turn around, afraid that Jiang Siyu would see the panic in her eyes.
Without further delay, Xia Jing quickly drove back to the Xia family home.
After she left, the two people standing upstairs sat back down.
"Something's not right with Xia Jing..." Fu Lin muttered, her guilty conscience quite obvious.
Jiang Siyu remained silent. Based on the information she had obtained, Xia Jing was not such a naive person.
But from the very first moment she saw me, she was extremely easy to understand; every expression seemed to be deliberately written on her face for me to see.
It was as if she was afraid she wouldn't be able to see her guilty conscience and panic.
Xia family, Xia Jing… Jiang Siyu’s lips curled into a cold smile. Interesting.
