But she still looked at Xie Jinxing with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
As he turned to leave, he left the thermos behind.
"I can leave, but please remember to drink this soup, Mr. Xie."
But no sooner had she finished speaking than Xie Jinxing walked over indifferently and picked up the thermos.
Bang—a loud sound.
It was thrown into the trash can next to the desk.
In an instant, Wu Pianxian felt as if her heart had shattered into pieces.
With tears streaming down her face, she stared at him in disbelief, "How could you be so cruel to me?"
"I spent the whole afternoon simmering this soup myself."
"I'm sorry, but I've never eaten food made by strangers since I was a child." Xie Jinxing's face remained indifferent, and his voice was devoid of any warmth.
Wu Pianxian immediately burst into tears, then covered her face and ran away.
Wow! Is this guy planning to stay single forever?
Xie Jinxing turned his head after hearing her thoughts.
"She is my stepmother's distant niece."
Upon hearing the word "stepmother," Jiang Ningxi instantly understood.
"Oh, no wonder."
"But she's still a girl, aren't you being too harsh?"
“I didn’t just treat her that way,” Xie Jinxing said.
Got it! You're not interested in any women, right?
Xie Jinxing: ...Where did you hear that from?
"Well, what I mean is, I like being single right now."
Jiang Ningxi raised her hand and touched her nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh, I see."
Fortunately, no one knew what she was thinking just now.
"Um, I'll be going now."
"I'll have someone take you home; it's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night," Xie Jinxing said immediately.
Jiang Ningxi immediately laughed, "Hahaha, if we really encounter criminals, who knows who will be in danger?"
Not long after, she was teleported back to the vicinity of the Jiang family by the system.
Just as she was about to pass by the Jiang family on her way back to the Wang family.
But they were stopped by a figure that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Jiang Ningxi stared wide-eyed and took a closer look; it turned out to be Jiang Yuheng.
"What's up so late at night?"
Jiang Yuheng nodded. "Something's up."
Jiang Ningxi looked curious.
"What's the matter?"
Jiang Yuheng looked her up and down and asked, "I heard you were kidnapped? But it seems you're alright now."
Jiang Ningxi found it somewhat amusing. "You said you had something to say, is this what it is?"
Jiang Yuheng shook his head, then continued, "When Mom found out you were kidnapped, she was so angry she had a heart attack, and she's still in the hospital."
Jiang Ningxi's face remained expressionless after hearing this.
"so what?"
"Aren't you going to the hospital to see her?" Jiang Yuheng asked.
"I'm not a doctor," Jiang Ningxi said, turning to leave.
Jiang Yuheng followed and continued to ask.
"Fine, if you don't want to go see it, then why aren't you going home? Why do you insist on staying at the Wang family's house?"
As Jiang Ningxi walked, she said, "Well, I'll go look at houses tomorrow and then move out."
Jiang Yuheng raised his eyebrows slightly but remained silent.
After a while, I escorted her to the gate of the Wang family's house.
He then took a card out of his suit trouser pocket and handed it over.
"You know I don't have much money. Here's 500,000 yuan. Consider it a small token of my appreciation as your older brother."
Jiang Ningxi looked surprised when she saw the card he handed her.
This stingy guy actually gave her so much money!
"You're not plotting something again, are you?"
Jiang Yuheng: ...
"So you don't want it? Fine, don't take it then." He then tried to take the card back.
Jiang Ningxi quickly reached out and snatched it away.
"Yes! Of course I want it!"
"No matter what your plans are, I want this money back, and I won't pay it back!"
Jiang Yuheng smiled helplessly and shook his head. "Give me the address after you buy the house. I'll come visit you when I have time."
Jiang Ningxi looked at him again in surprise, "Isn't that a bit unnecessary? You want to see me?"
Jiang Yuheng gave her a speechless look. "No matter how capable you are, you're still a girl, living in such a big house outside. How can your family feel at ease?"
Jiang Ningxi chuckled, "Let me ask you, if it were the old Jiang Ningxi, would you still say something like this if she said she wanted to move out?"
Although Jiang Yuheng didn't understand why she asked that question, he still nodded seriously in response.
“If it were before you were moving out, I would just spend more time visiting you.”
"After all, I didn't know you were skilled in martial arts back then."
Jiang Ningxi looked at him with some suspicion.
But thinking about it carefully, this guy was only indifferent to her before, but he never bullied her.
He put the card in his pocket.
"Thank you for the 500,000."
Seeing her enter the Wang family's residence, Jiang Yuheng turned and left.
However, when he returned to the Jiang family home and saw the deserted house, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He seemed to have gotten used to always seeing the noisy Jiang Ningxi.
Actually, the 500,000 yuan he just gave me wasn't something I had just prepared; it was something he had prepared shortly after Jiang Ningxi returned to the Jiang family.
He guessed that his family and Jiang Ningxi would not get along, and that she would move out sooner or later.
He can't come up with more money, but he can manage 500,000.
Let her rent a nicer place to live, and the remaining money can cover her living expenses for a while.
Because he knows best what it feels like to be uncared for.
Just like him, no matter how outstanding he is, his parents will never see him first.
