Chapter 38 A sudden visit
When the dinner ended, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
When Jiang Yao and the others came out of the restaurant, it was raining heavily outside.
Several people came here by taxi.
They all had to go back to the school dormitory, except Jiang Yao.
She hurriedly said, "My way here is not on the way. You guys go first. I can take a taxi later."
Lian Yingying was a little worried and wanted to stay with her to take a taxi first.
"Yingying, I'm a little dizzy after drinking tonight. Let's go quickly. Senior sister is so old, how could she not know how to take a taxi?"
Yuan Xinchang was holding back his anger today and urged impatiently.
She deliberately emphasized the words "such an adult". Jiang Yao pursed his lips. He knew what she meant, but he didn't want to argue with her, so he didn't say anything.
"But..." Lian Yingying wanted to say something.
Jiang Yao smiled and comforted her.
"It's okay. I'll let you know I'm safe when I get there."
Only then did Lian Yingying follow Yuan Xinchang away.
In the end, Jiang Yao was the only one left standing in front of the restaurant waiting for the car.
There were few cars in the rain, so it was good enough for them to catch one.
When Li Beiting finished discussing the project and was passing by in his car, he glanced out the window and saw the graceful figure in the rain.
Jiang Yao was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, her figure was slender, and her face was pale. The night wind gently blew the ends of her hair, as if it could easily blow her down.
Li Beiting frowned unconsciously and actually ordered his assistant to drive the car over.
Jiang Yao was rubbing her arm with one hand and looking down at the messages on her mobile phone when a low-key and familiar luxury car stopped in front of her.
She looked over subconsciously, and under the neon lights, Li Beiting's glowing handsome face came into view.
"Going home? Get in the car, I'll take you there."
The man took the initiative to speak, his deep voice seemed a little distorted in the rain.
Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
She wanted to refuse, but then she looked down at the taxi app on her phone and saw that there was still a long queue before she could get a taxi.
If you wait any longer, you might catch a cold.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao stopped being pretentious.
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior."
She walked over, opened the car door, and got in.
The heater in the car dispelled the cold outside.
Jiang Yao felt much more comfortable instantly.
She turned and gave Li Beiting a sincere smile.
"Thank you, Senior. If you need me someday, you can ask me for help."
She is not an ungrateful person. No matter what the purpose is, since others have helped her so many times, she will definitely repay them if she has the chance.
Of course, if he is not afraid of affecting his reputation.
Li Beiting looked at her with deep eyes, but said something meaningful.
"You're not deliberately giving me the cold shoulder?"
Jiang Yao was stunned. When did she deliberately treat him coldly?
Only then did she remember that it might be something that happened at school last time.
"Senior, you're joking. I'm just afraid that if I tell you too much at school, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Jiang Yao was quite frank.
"If you don't mind, I'd naturally like to have more contact with you. After all, you're the teacher's most valued student, with outstanding achievements, and there's still a lot for me to learn."
She was neither overly flattering nor hostile, neither humble nor overbearing, as if the two of them were communicating like ordinary friends.
This made Li Beiting look at her meaningfully again.
It seemed that she was quite different from what he thought.
The two chatted about their profession all the way, and there was no dull moment.
When he arrived at the villa, Li Beiting still felt unsatisfied.
Seeing her about to get off the car, Li Beiting suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, there will be an academic seminar on the A campus in a couple of days. If you are free, I can take you to participate."
When Jiang Yao heard this, his originally calm eyes suddenly lit up.
She really didn't want to trouble Li Beiting, but she knew that this event at University A was only held once a year.
Those invited are leaders from all walks of life, and ordinary people have no chance to enter.
Li Beiting said he could take her with him.
This opportunity is really rare.
Jiang Yao was very moved and couldn't say anything against his will.
I had no choice but to ask in a very awkward way, "Really?"
Seeing the glimmer in her eyes, Li Beiting's lips curled up in an imperceptible arc.
He said "hmm".
"Then prepare in advance, and I'll call you when the time comes."
"Thank you for taking me, Senior."
Jiang Yao said hurriedly, and just remembered to ask before getting off the car.
"By the way, Senior, I returned your hairpin earlier. Aren't you satisfied with the repair?"
"not bad."
Li Beiting nodded reservedly, and when he thought of the old lady's reaction when she received it, she looked extremely appreciative, and he smiled rarely.
“The people who received the gifts loved it.”
Jiang Yao looked at his smile and was stunned for two seconds.
Then I reacted.
That’s right, he definitely didn’t buy the hairpin for himself.
This hairpin can only be given to girls. It is such a valuable thing... If I am not mistaken, it should be Li Beiting’s girlfriend.
Thinking of this, she opened the car door, got out, and waved to her.
"Goodbye, senior."
Sure enough, it was right to keep a certain distance from him.
…
Jiang Yao trotted into the villa from the gate, and Aunt Wang hurriedly came up with a dry towel.
"Miss, come and wipe yourself, but don't get cold, otherwise the master, mistress, and everyone at home will be worried about you."
Jiang Yao felt warm in his heart and took the towel to wipe away some water marks.
While comforting her, "Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I know my limits."
However, when she mentioned her family, she thought of her grandfather's birthday next month.
She hasn't been back to see them yet, so it's her first meeting, so she definitely needs to be more prepared.
But she didn't understand their preferences.
"Auntie Wang, are you free to go out with me tomorrow?"
Wang Ma asked, "What's wrong, Miss?"
"Grandpa's birthday is coming soon, and I want to pick out some gifts for my grandparents and uncles. You know them better than I do, so I want you to accompany me to choose gifts and give me some advice."
Jiang Yao said a little embarrassedly.
Mother Wang was immediately moved.
She thought that as long as it was a gift from the young lady, the master and the mistress would love it very much.
But, this is the young lady's intention after all.
She finally smiled gently.
"Okay, miss, leave it to me."
The next weekend, Jiang Yao didn't have to go to school, so he took Wang Ma out.
…
On the other side, Biluo Garden.
Lu Xuan has been suffering from a headache these past few days. He can't eat or sleep well every day and feels extremely uncomfortable.
Not to mention going out to discuss projects, he hasn't even had a drink for several days.
The family doctor could only advise him.
"Mr. Lu, if you don't take the medicine, you can only alleviate the symptoms by keeping a calm mind and reducing your emotional fluctuations."
But whenever Lu Xuan thought of Jiang Yao's ruthless face, he would become furious, and his emotions would fluctuate, causing him to have a splitting headache.
He could only forcefully banish Jiang Yao's every smile, every move from his mind.
After a few days, the condition finally improved.
Unexpectedly, that morning, mother Fang Man suddenly came to visit.
