Chapter 459 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 11
"Lu Yanlin!" Jiang Zhiyi shouted loudly.
"Lu—Yan—Lin—"
As she was indeed related to Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin, her voice was incredibly penetrating when she called out, making it hard to ignore.
Lu Jingxun wasn't deaf; he heard it very clearly.
He even felt that even if he were deaf, he could probably hear it.
What are you trying to do with such a loud noise?
Why doesn't she go to the village entrance and act as a loudspeaker? That way, she could save the village some electricity.
Lu Jingxun came out of the room and stood on the balcony to look at her.
One stood on high ground, the other on low ground; Jiang Zhiyi could only look up at them.
They were quite far apart, and she couldn't see his expression; half of his face was in shadow.
From her perspective, she didn't seem angry at all, and she didn't have the sharp aura that usually lingers when she's unhappy.
His eyes seemed to be squinting, perhaps because the sunlight was too bright.
"I'm here to deliver vegetables!" she explained, not caring about anything else. "The vegetables are from Aunt Wang's house, but the security guard won't let me in."
Lu Jingxun didn't want to pay attention to it, but then he suddenly remembered the scene of her secretly wiping away tears alone last night, and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
He looked up and glanced ahead; the sun was blazing, and its heat poured down relentlessly.
Lu Jingxun frowned slightly.
Forget it, it's not worth arguing with her, I can't be bothered with that.
Thinking this, he casually took out his phone, dialed a number, said a few words, and then hung up.
A short while later, footsteps were heard in the courtyard, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a nanny quickly came out.
The nanny smiled gently at Jiang Zhiyi and said softly, "Young lady, give me the vegetables. Thank you for making this trip."
Jiang Zhiyi smiled and handed the things in her hand to the nanny as she spoke, "It's nothing."
The nanny didn't linger and went back immediately.
It's almost time to make dinner, and there's still a lot to do in the kitchen.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't leave immediately. She looked up at the balcony again and stared at Lu Jingxun.
Lu Jingxun was about to turn around and go straight in, but when he saw her still there, he was a little puzzled.
What else does she want to do?
The food has been delivered, why aren't you leaving? Do you like to sunbathe there?
"I need to talk to you!" Jiang Zhiyi called out.
Of course, she said it casually, and there was nothing really going on, but since we've met today, we should try to get to know each other better.
Lu Jingxun hesitated.
He's not exactly idle... Even if he is idle now, he won't waste his time on a fool.
If they weren't currently trapped here, they would never have crossed paths at all.
"Can I come in?" Jiang Zhiyi looked at him expectantly, but seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she was unsure and could only ask again.
He remained silent, seemingly unmoved.
After a brief standoff, Jiang Zhiyi bit her lip, a sudden inspiration struck her, and she made up her mind to turn around and run back quickly to the security room.
"..."
Lu Jingxun paused, his face turning cold, wanting to tell her to get lost.
But when the security guard looked at him and asked if he should let the person go, for some reason, he nodded as if possessed.
A moment later, I felt a pang of regret.
But Jiang Zhiyi had already hopped in immediately, like a nimble little deer.
Later on, he even jogged the whole way.
Lu Jingxun pursed his lips, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.
That's unbelievable!
I arrived in an abnormal place, where some abnormal people lived next door, and I started to become somewhat abnormal myself...
He turned around expressionlessly, took the elevator downstairs.
Jiang Zhiyi was already standing in the living room waiting for him.
"What is it?" Lu Jing asked.
He sat down on the sofa, and she stood in front of him.
Jiang Zhiyi thought for a moment, then immediately made up a story: "...Does your family need any help? Could I come work for you? I want to earn some money..."
The Lu family's circumstances are clear; anyone with eyes can see they're wealthy.
In recent days, quite a few people from the village have come to ask if they could come and help, but they have all been turned down.
Apart from Aunt Liu, who was the first one, all the other housekeepers and nannies were brought from the Lu family. They had received professional training and were safe and reliable.
“We don’t need it.” Lu Jingxun glanced at her.
His gaze held a scrutinizing quality, seemingly mocking her for having the audacity to claim she was a maid when she knew nothing about it.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyi didn't insist. "Alright, then... then if you want to buy fruits and vegetables, why don't you buy from my place? It's right next door, so you don't have to bother delivering them all the way here."
She tried hard to come up with an excuse.
But that's clearly not quite right. The village is so small that even if you walk from the east end to the west end, it's not far and won't take much time.
Lu Jingxun was about to refuse her outright, but seeing her expectant eyes, he felt a little tempted to tease her.
“Didn’t you say it would be free last time? Why are we paying for it now? I don’t want to pay, can’t we just eat for free? Just give it to us.” He looked quite troubled. “We have dozens of people in the house, including nannies, housekeepers, security guards, and drivers… We need to eat a lot every day. Grocery money is a big expense, so every little bit saved counts…”
Jiang Zhiyi paused, not expecting him to start complaining about being poor.
Even if those vegetables that cost a few dollars a bunch were sold for ten thousand dollars a pound, it still wouldn't bankrupt him...
"I..." Jiang Zhiyi stammered, "I can only give you a little bit. The rest I need to sell. My younger siblings need to go to school and pay their tuition..."
She decided to play the victim.
Waaah... I'm so poor.
Lu Jingxun frowned slightly. So their family couldn't even afford kindergarten tuition, which was why they came here to "beg"?
It's understandable that someone who never went to school wouldn't know where to take a shower.
Lu Jingxun thought for a moment, then lost interest in continuing the conversation and said, "Go find the butler. I don't concern myself with these matters."
Although it wasn't said explicitly, the implication was that they agreed.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately nodded: "Okay."
She smiled at him, looked into his eyes, and said, "Thank you."
Lu Jingxun responded with a sound of agreement, then looked at her again, saying, "You can go now."
He picked up the book that was placed to the side.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced around, and as she passed the coffee table, she tripped and almost fell onto the sofa. However, she quickly caught herself and then left immediately.
Lu Jingxun looked up and glanced at her back.
Once her figure disappeared from sight, he slowly withdrew his gaze, which inadvertently fell on the sofa where she had just been sitting.
A bracelet lay quietly in the crevice of the sofa.
