Chapter 238 She Misses Song Xu
Lin Xi blinked; this was quite difficult.
"Mom, I want to go to Huayue Group to see Song Xu today." Lin Xi received Song Xu's message and felt a little sorry for him, so she thought she would bring him some food.
Zhou Ruolan nodded, "Sure, I'll have Niannian go with you later. I'll see if she has time today."
“I can go by myself,” Lin Xi said. “Isn’t there a driver and a car?”
"You can't afford any more mistakes. Safety first." After saying that, Zhou Ruolan called Lu Yunzhou and asked him to call Jiang Nian over to keep Lin Xi company.
Following his mother's instructions, Lu Yunzhou immediately contacted Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian was in class at school. She was practically the teacher's teaching assistant, and all the actions were demonstrated by Jiang Nian. She almost overwhelmingly surpassed the other students in the class.
Lu Yunzhou made the call during the break. Jiang Nian had just finished a set of boxing moves and was sitting on the ground resting when her phone rang, so she picked it up and answered it.
She usually doesn't bring her phone to class, but after taking on the part-time job of being a bodyguard, she started carrying her phone with her at all times, and the teachers turned a blind eye.
"Hey, boss," Jiang Nian asked, "Is there anything I need?"
"You come to my villa now and accompany my sister out," Lu Yunzhou said, not in a question, but in an order.
"Boss, I'm in class." Jiang Nian's eyes lit up when she heard that a job had come up, but her tone was reluctant.
“Consider it overtime,” Lu Yunzhou said, not having time to haggle with Jiang Nian. “If we finish today, we can settle the wages for the previous days together. You can calculate the price yourself and send it to me.”
"Okay! I'm coming right now, I'll reimburse you for the taxi fare!" Jiang Nian jumped up from the ground.
"to reimburse."
"I'll be there in half an hour." Jiang Nian hung up the phone and happily asked her teacher for leave.
The teacher didn't want to grant the leave, saying, "What's the emergency? There's only half an hour left before get out of class ends."
"It's super urgent," Jiang Nian said, who was very familiar with her teacher. "How about I buy you milk tea when I get back?"
The teacher thought for a moment, then held up two fingers, "Two cups."
"Deal!" Jiang Nian agreed with a smile. She could earn thousands of yuan in one trip, so exchanging it for two cups of milk tea was a great deal.
Jiang Nian ran out of the school in two minutes, got into a taxi parked at the gate, and gave the address of the Lu family.
Lin Xi personally cooked several dishes at home, set aside one portion for Zhou Ruolan, and packed the rest into three lunch boxes.
Song Xu got one box, she got one box, and Jiang Nian got one box.
"Mom, this is the dish I made. Would you like to try it?" Lin Xi looked at Zhou Ruolan with expectant eyes.
Zhou Ruolan picked up a piece of meat, put it in her mouth and savored it. Her eyes lit up. "Delicious! I didn't expect my Xixi to have such good cooking skills."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I won Song Xu over with my excellent cooking skills."
“He’s really lucky,” Zhou Ruolan snorted. “But in the future, you should do less of this kind of hard work. If you do too much, he’ll take it for granted.”
“Okay, I haven’t cooked for him in a long time,” Lin Xi explained. “He’s been working overtime these past two days, so I thought I’d go and see him.”
Zhou Ruolan nodded. "It's right to reciprocate. He took care of you for several days at the hospital. But Xixi, remember, no matter what, never put men at the center of your life. It's easy to lose yourself that way. Your mother is a good example."
"I understand, Mom," Lin Xi hugged Zhou Ruolan. "Don't be sad anymore, we will get better and better."
Jiang Nian arrived at the Lu family's villa on time.
Lin Xi came downstairs carrying three lunches. She waved to Jiang Nian and said, "Nian Nian, you're here."
"Miss, what are you carrying? Let me help you." Jiang Nian took the bag from Lin Xi's hand.
"I prepared lunch and brought you a portion," Lin Xi said with a smile.
"That's so kind of you," Jiang Nian swallowed. "I didn't have lunch right now, thank you, Miss."
"Don't call me Miss anymore, it sounds really awkward," Lin Xi couldn't stand the way she was addressed. "Just call me by my name, Lin Xi or Xi Xi, it's fine either way."
Jiang Nian nodded, "Xi Xi."
Lin Xi smiled and pulled Jiang Nian into the car; it was the first time she had been so close to Jiang Nian.
Lin Xi curiously touched Jiang Nian's arm and could feel the firm muscles. "Wow, it's so firm. You can't tell at all when you're wearing clothes."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "This is what they call looking slim in clothes but muscular when undressed. I'll let you see my abs sometime."
"You have abs?" Lin Xi looked at Jiang Nian's abdomen in shock. "Don't girls only have abs?"
“Everyone has abs, it’s just a matter of whether they can show them,” Jiang Nian said proudly. “I developed them, but unfortunately I only have six.”
"My goodness," Lin Xi said with genuine envy, "I wish I had your kung fu skills."
She fights without any strategy, relying solely on her ruthlessness. If she had martial arts skills, she could easily be a big sister boss.
“I’ve spent all my time practicing martial arts, so my academic studies have suffered,” Jiang Nian sighed. “That’s just how it is, you can’t have everything.”
Lin Xi thought about it and realized that she had spent all her time studying. Even if she wanted to practice kung fu, she wouldn't have the time. There are no perfect things in the world.
Along the way, Lin Xi and Jiang Nian talked a lot. After learning about Jiang Nian's family situation, she felt a pang of sadness, as if she were seeing another version of herself.
I worked part-time during my school years to earn money so as to reduce the burden on my family.
“Niannian, if you have any difficulties or need money, you can tell me,” Lin Xi looked at Jiang Nian with sincere eyes, “I will help you as much as possible.”
“There’s nothing difficult now,” Jiang Nian said. “The boss pays me a lot. He said he was going to settle my account today. I roughly calculated that it’s at least five thousand yuan, which is more than my mom earns in a month from her stall.”
"You're really great, having a skill makes all the difference." Lin Xi gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Nian really liked Lin Xi, her employer. She was very approachable and they chatted all the way, just like old friends.
Soon they arrived at the building where Song Xu's company was located. Lin Xi and Jiang Nian walked hand in hand into the lobby on the first floor.
The receptionist had changed; she didn't recognize Lin Xi and stopped Lin Xi and Jiang Nian, asking, "Who are you two looking for?"
“I’m looking for Song Xu,” Lin Xi said, stating Song Xu’s full name directly. “I’m his girlfriend.”
The receptionist didn't react much. "Please wait a moment. You need to make an appointment to see Mr. Song. Let me call and ask for you."
Lin Xi didn't say anything and waited for the receptionist to call Song Xu's secretary's office.
After saying something on the other end of the line, the receptionist hung up and said to Lin Xi, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song didn't say that any girlfriend was coming over."
"Okay." Lin Xi didn't say anything more to the receptionist. She took out her phone to call Song Xu and ask him to send someone to pick them up.
"Lin Xi?" Lin Xi suddenly heard someone call her name. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and also a little annoying.
