Chapter 251 Who sent the chocolate?
When Lin Xi and Lu Yunzhou returned home, Zhou Ruolan didn't say anything, but told Lin Xi to call ahead to report her whereabouts next time.
"I know, Mom." Lin Xi hugged Zhou Ruolan and kissed her. Her mother was more understanding.
Lu Yunzhou kept a stern face. "Mom, let Xixi and Song Xu spend less time together in the future. That kid only knows how to take advantage of Xixi."
Zhou Ruolan rolled her eyes at Lu Yunzhou, "What do you know, you single dog? Mind your own business when it comes to your sister's love life. You should think more about your own personal matters."
Lu Yunzhou was speechless after being rebuked by his own mother. He felt disheartened when no one cared about him before, but now that someone is taking care of him, he feels annoyed.
"Mom, I also want to find a girlfriend, but it's not that easy."
Zhou Ruolan sighed, "It's my fault for holding you back, but don't worry, I'll arrange a blind date for you as soon as possible."
Lu Yunzhou was taken aback. A blind date? What an obscure term! He, Lu Yunzhou, was actually going on a blind date one day!
Lin Xi chuckled to herself, "Mom, I'll also help my brother find a suitable girl and get him out of singlehood as soon as possible."
“Xi Xi is the most considerate,” Zhou Ruolan said, stroking Lin Xi’s face. “Xi Xi, I’m thinking of visiting Grandma Lin tomorrow night. What do you think?”
“Okay, then I’ll go straight to Grandma’s house after class and say hello to her first,” Lin Xi said happily, “so as not to upset her.”
Lin Xi hadn't seen her grandmother for a while. She didn't dare to video chat with her grandmother when she was hospitalized, and could only call her occasionally to say hello. Her grandmother didn't know that she had found her biological parents.
"Alright, then let Niannian stay with you for a while," Zhou Ruolan said, still feeling uneasy.
Lin Xi nodded. "I'll contact Niannian myself tomorrow to see if she has time."
She has a lot of classes tomorrow and they end late, so Jiang Nian probably won't have much to do at school by then.
Mentioning Jiang Nian, Lin Xi sighed deeply. She pulled Zhou Ruolan aside and said, "Mom, do you know how amazing Nian Nian is?"
Zhou Ruolan didn't know, she only knew that the person her son had found was definitely not bad. "You know that?"
Lin Xi nodded. "I saw her fight two male bodyguards by herself today. She was so brave and capable. If she lived in ancient times, she would definitely be a female general."
"Really?" Zhou Ruolan seized on the key point, "Whose bodyguard did she hit?"
"Uh..." Lin Xi regretted her slip of the tongue. She didn't want to talk about what happened at Song Xu's company. Her brother already didn't have a good impression of Song Xu. If he knew that she was almost bullied, he would definitely blame Song Xu.
"Did the Song family bully you?" Lu Yunzhou asked with a dark face. This Jiang Nian was unreliable; she didn't even report this to him.
"No, no," Lin Xi hurriedly waved her hand, "Uncle Song and Grandpa Song were very polite to me. She is the daughter of one of the directors of their company. We had a falling out before, and we just happened to run into each other today."
"Doesn't she know who you are?" Lu Yunzhou sneered. "She still dares to lay a hand on you."
Lin Xi shook her head. "She probably doesn't know my new identity yet, but I've already made her apologize to me in front of Uncle Song and Grandpa Song."
“An apology is not enough. She’s dreaming,” Lu Yunzhou said. “Tell me her name, and I’ll teach her a lesson.”
“Brother, I still have a use for her,” Lin Xi explained. “Once I’m done with her, Song Xu will help me get revenge.”
"Girls are more outgoing." Lu Yunzhou snorted and turned to leave.
“Mom,” Lin Xi looked at Zhou Ruolan, “my brother said something about me.”
Zhou Ruolan smiled and said, "He's never been in a relationship before and doesn't know anything. He's just worried about you. It'll be fine once he has a girlfriend."
"Mom, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want?" Lin Xi asked. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem, and it would be best to find a girl that her mother likes.
“First of all, you have to be pretty so as not to lower our family’s overall appearance,” Zhou Ruolan thought for a moment. “Secondly, you have to be honest and upright, and not try to sow discord between your brother and us.”
"As for family background, I don't care much about it. When I got married, your grandfather was a policeman, and you also came from a poor background, but that doesn't affect our excellence, right?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Of course, compared to that, character and ability are more important."
“I believe your brother will definitely find a girl he likes,” Zhou Ruolan patted Lin Xi’s hair. “Go and rest. You must be tired after a busy day. You have to go to school tomorrow morning.”
Lin Xi blushed and went back to her room, feeling that her mother had subtly criticized her.
...
The next day, Lin Xi got up very early, and it was not even six o'clock when she finished washing up.
At home, she doesn't have to do anything; she has plenty of time to read and study.
She was reading until a little after seven o'clock when she thought Jiang Nian was about to get up, so she sent her a message asking if she had time to come over and keep her company today.
Actually, Lin Xi has a driver and doesn't need a bodyguard by her side. However, she likes Jiang Nian very much and wants to provide some help to Jiang Nian and give her more opportunities to make money.
Seeing Jiang Nian reminds me of my past self, and I realize how important a job opportunity is to her.
Jiang Nian also got up very early; she got up at five o'clock to return to school for morning exercise.
Martial arts practitioners never sleep in late; when she received Lin Xi's message, she had already eaten breakfast.
When she saw the time Lin Xi sent, she happened to be free. Her family was moving today, but her brother-in-law said he would cover everything, so she didn't need to worry about it; making money was the priority.
She quickly replied to Lin Xi, saying that she could and would be waiting for her at the gate of Jiang University on time.
After replying to the message, Jiang Nian inexplicably clicked on the novel's link again and continued reading.
After reading for ten minutes, Jiang Nian closed the novel. She couldn't read it during the day; she felt all the blood rushing to her face.
She had just put her phone away when her roommate Liu Mei walked towards her, holding a box in her hand.
“Niannian, this is a gift of chocolates from someone,” Liu Mei placed the box of chocolates in Jiang Nian’s hand, then muttered, “There really are some people who aren’t afraid of death.”
The sports school had more boys than girls, and Jiang Nian, with her sweet looks, was privately voted the school beauty as soon as she entered university, and boys pursued her in droves.
At first, Jiang Nian patiently rejected them one by one. At that time, her mind was focused on finding a part-time job, and dating would only delay her training and making money.
Later, when too many people ran into her, she started a fight and even declared that she would be with whoever could beat her.
In the days that followed, chance encounters became more frequent, and one-on-one duels increased. What great opportunities for real-world practice! Jiang Nian applauded his own wisdom.
But less than a month later, no one came looking for Jiang Nian anymore; pursuing her was just too difficult.
Jiang Nian hadn't received such a loving gift in a long time. She had just started to feel romantic feelings, and if the person who gave her the gift was decent enough, she could try dating.
She picked up the chocolate box and looked it over. "Who gave this to me?"
Liu Mei shrugged. "It's that Sun Jiachen who claims to be a rich second-generation."
