Jiang Li got up after sleeping for more than three hours.
After Jiang Li got up and tidied up, the clock already pointed to 6:30.
Passing by Su Ruan and Jiang Chi's bedroom, I noticed the incense in the burner had already burned out.
After putting the incense burner away, Jiang Li went to Lu Shiyan's house.
Breakfast was ready and laid out on the table.
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Shiyan's slightly dark circles and felt a pang of guilt. "Ayan, you didn't sleep at all to prepare breakfast for me, did you?"
Just thinking about it made Jiang Li realize how unreasonable she had been.
"No, you're overthinking it." Lu Shiyan stepped forward, took Jiang Li's hand, and pushed her to the dining table. "You must be hungry since you were busy so late last night. Eat quickly."
“Um…” Jiang Li looked around again, biting into the custard bun that Lu Shiyan had stuffed into her mouth, and said apologetically, “Lu Jiming hasn’t come down yet.”
"Ignore him." Lu Shiyan said nonchalantly, and even said with great confidence, "He has already taken his breakfast and ran to school."
He's pursuing his wife, why is Lu Jiming, that third wheel, getting involved?
Of course, we had to send them away as soon as possible.
Jiang Li: "..."
Okay.
Jiang Li was enjoying her meal at Lu Shiyan's place, and the rest of the Jiang family had also gotten up.
When Jiang Chi got up, he turned to Su Ruan beside him and asked, "Can you smell anything?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Su Ruan took a deep breath and sniffed hard. "Hmm, I smell it. It seems to have an indescribable fragrance that makes me feel very comfortable."
"I really like this smell. Let's see where this aroma is coming from."
"good."
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Li returned to the Jiang family home, just as the family members sat down to eat.
After Jiang Chi sat down, he cleared his throat and asked the people at the table, "Who brought back anything? It smells delicious."
Several people simultaneously showed blank expressions.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Jiang Chengxi asked, looking puzzled. "What fragrance?"
"Is it perfume? Or floral scent?" Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but ask.
“Nothing like that.” Jiang Chi shook his head. “It’s just… something like… how should I put it…”
"Is this it?" Jiang Li went inside and took out a few sticks of incense. "Is this the scent?"
Seeing that the speaker was Jiang Li, Jiang Chi felt a little uncomfortable, but smelling the fragrance, he replied, "Yes."
"This is calming incense. It's made with spices and various medicinal herbs. Lighting one while sleeping or working is very good for your health," Jiang Li said, then pretended to take a wooden box out of her bag and place it on the coffee table next to her.
The box was full of incense.
Jiang Li then took out three incense burners.
"Put one in the bedroom, one in the office, and one in the study at home if needed," Jiang Li said, glancing at Jiang Chi. "Let me know when you're done using them."
After saying that, Jiang Li checked the time and left without looking back.
We can't keep Ayan waiting any longer.
After Jiang Li left, Jiang Chenghao looked at Jiang Chi warily and asked, "Dad, are you sure this is the taste you were talking about?"
Jiang Chi's expression was firm. "It's this one, no doubt about it."
"But, can we use the things Jiang Li gave us?" Jiang Chenghao was a little unconvinced. "She said they're good for your health, but are they really good for your health?"
"Fourth Brother," Jiang Xueqi suddenly smiled considerately, "No matter what, this is Jiang Li's kind intention. No matter how bad her relationship with Dad is, she is still Dad's daughter. She wouldn't go so far as to harm Dad, would she?"
A single sentence evoked different thoughts in everyone.
Jiang Chenghao pursed his lips, "Then she might not be without that intention."
"Shut up, fourth brother!" Jiang Chengxi glared at Jiang Chenghao unhappily, then turned to Jiang Chi. "Use it. This is Jiang Li's gift, and it was also your request, Dad. Since you like the taste, just use it. Don't overthink it."
Others might not care, but Jiang Chengxi remembered that Jiang Li was brought back from the Xuanmen by them.
She might seem unreliable, but Jiang Li did grow up in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
Even if what she offers has no benefit, it certainly won't do any harm.
Moreover, the patient's mood is now even more important.
If this incense truly has a calming effect, it would be very beneficial for patients.
"Wait a minute, don't use it yet." Jiang Chengzhe frowned and spoke up. "Let me take one and have a friend test it first. If it's confirmed that there are no problems, then we can use it."
Since it concerned Jiang Chi's health, no one said anything more.
Once the test results are in, people will feel more at ease, right?
Jiang Li didn't care about the Jiang family's thoughts.
Even if they asked her to test the incense right in front of her, she wouldn't feel the slightest bit dissatisfied.
Her only goal was to cure Jiang Chi's illness.
As for the rest, what does it have to do with her?
Before they even reached the school, Jiang Li saw Lu Jiming running pitifully outside the car window.
"Ayan, stop the car."
Lu Shiyan frowned. "We haven't arrived at school yet."
“I saw Lu Jiming. I’m going downstairs to go to school with him, so you don’t need to see me off.” Jiang Li smiled at Lu Shiyan. “You should go to the company early too.”
"So..." Lu Shiyan's expression was somewhat resentful, and his tone was also sour, "You abandoned me for that brat?"
Jiang Li pouted and couldn't help but mutter, "It's not as serious as you make it out to be. It's not far from the school, is it? Besides, Lu Jiming looks so pitiful all alone..."
"So you still abandoned me for him." Lu Shiyan said with great sorrow.
Jiang Li couldn't help but shiver. "This is over the top."
Lu Shiyan immediately resumed his aloof and indifferent expression. "Fine, whatever you say. With my status, what right do I have to interfere with your decisions?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but grind her teeth, suddenly feeling a bit like biting someone.
Before Jiang Li could bite him, Lu Shiyan wisely pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Jiang Li got out of the car and ran towards Lu Jiming.
He didn't even spare Lu Shiyan a glance.
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li's retreating figure and couldn't help but shake his head.
What a heartless little thing.
Jiang Li and Lu Jiming went to school together.
When the students in the class saw Jiang Li, they all had strange expressions on their faces.
"Tch, I thought you weren't coming to school anymore," a girl couldn't help but sneer. "You always run away when it's time for exams, but you always come back after the exams are over."
The girl who spoke was the one who had previously falsely accused Jiang Li of eating in class, only to be exposed by Jiang Li for playing on her phone.
Jiang Li glanced at her indifferently before looking away.
The girl's face turned ashen with anger at being ignored like this. "Jiang Li, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me? No matter what, I would never skip the exam, much less lower the class average. Do you know how many points you alone have dragged down for the whole class?"
"Your scores are none of my business," Jiang Li said calmly. "What are you fussing about when even the teachers aren't worried?"
What a busybody!
