We arrived at the entrance of the guesthouse.
As Su Yan got out of the car, she said to the man who was about to get out of the driver's seat, "You don't need to get out of the car. Go back and rest. See you tomorrow. Thank you for taking me shopping today. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
Without waiting for a reply, she quickly closed the door.
"Bang!"
She picked up her things, turned around, and ran into the guesthouse.
Jiang Jingxing rolled down the window, but it was too late to call out to her. Helpless, he had no choice but to drive away.
Su Yan hid behind the guesthouse door and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of the engine outside gradually fade away.
She was genuinely afraid that Jiang Jingxing would ask her questions about fashion design.
Moreover, this man is so smart that she guessed that her ability to understand animal language and distinguish various medicinal herbs had already aroused his suspicion. He probably only didn't make things difficult for her because her brother is Su Yu.
Su Yan sighed, clearing her mind of all the jumbled thoughts, and hummed a little tune as she went upstairs.
Who cares? As long as there's no evidence, what can he do even if he suspects something?
Meanwhile, in Anping Town.
Lanzhou People's Hospital.
The atmosphere in the ward was shrouded in gloom.
"Aunt Juan, Dr. Zou is currently in surgery and it will take another two hours to finish. As soon as he's done, I'll go find him and contact Commander Jiang."
Feng Caixia placed her hand on Li Juan's shoulder, her gaze filled with worry as she moved to Grandma Li on the hospital bed.
"Smack!"
Li Juan slapped herself hard and cried, "It's all my fault! If I hadn't confronted the Su family, I wouldn't have angered them. Zhang Yu wouldn't have pushed my mother to the ground and caused her to hit her head. Ayan has only been gone for a few days, how could I be so useless!"
As she spoke, she slapped herself again.
Feng Caixia was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed her hand and said urgently, "How can this be your fault? It was the Su family who broke into your house and deliberately pushed the old man down. They deserve to go to jail for doing that! Miss Huo has already called the police, and the police have already locked up the Su family members. They're just waiting for you to go back and deal with it. They'll get their comeuppance."
Mentioning Su Yan, Li Juan's tears flowed even more freely. She blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault. I couldn't even take care of the house properly in just two days! And the Su family took a lot of our things. Luckily, they didn't find the college admission notice, otherwise I would have just died!"
Grandpa Li sat at the other end of the hospital bed, holding Grandma Li's hand without saying a word, but his eyes were very red, showing that he was experiencing great emotional turmoil.
Feng Caixia used her connections to arrange for Grandma Li to stay in a deluxe single room. At this moment, Su Lei was sitting on a stool with Hu Zi in his arms. The two children seemed to know that something big had happened at home. They were quiet and well-behaved, which was heartbreaking.
The room was filled with Li Juan's low sobs.
No amount of comforting from Feng Caixia could help.
After waiting agonizingly for two hours, she immediately went to wait for Zou Jialun at the entrance of the operating room.
After changing his clothes and washing his hands, Zou Jialun came out of the surgery room. Before he could even see where he was going, he was grabbed and pulled away.
Before anyone could react, they heard, "Something terrible has happened to Su Yan's family. She went to Beijing. You need to find a way to contact her and get her back as soon as possible."
Zou Jialun: Instantly sober up!!!
Without even asking who Feng Caixia was, he immediately took her to his office and dialed Jiang Jingxing's office number.
It took a long time for someone on the other end to answer.
"This is Commander Jiang's office."
Feng Caixia snatched the phone from Zou Jialun's hand and said anxiously, "Comrade, I'm Jiang Jingxing's friend. I've encountered a bit of an emergency. Could you help me contact him?"
"I'm sorry, Commander Jiang is currently on leave and not with the team. In addition, it's getting late, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to try to contact Commander Jiang."
Feng Caixia frowned, knowing that the military had its own procedures, so she could only say, "Then I'll trouble you to make sure you can get in touch with him."
What is your name?
"Feng Caixia!"
"Okay, I've noted it down. I'll try to contact Jiang Tuan first thing tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, comrade."
Feng Caixia hung up the phone and then repeated the reply from the other end to Zou Jialun.
Zou Jialun was aware that something big had happened to the Jiang family recently, and he was afraid that even though Jiang Jingxing was on vacation, he had a lot of messy things to deal with.
"Then let's wait until tomorrow," he said. "If he hasn't called back by noon by tomorrow, then I'll call the Jiang family again. Also, what exactly happened at Su Yan's house?"
...
The following morning.
After breakfast, Jiang Jingxing took Su Yan to the courtyard house.
The courtyard house is not far from the main compound; it takes about forty minutes by car.
The car drove into the alley.
Jiang Jingxing explained, "This area is full of courtyard houses. Because of their good location, very few people are selling them."
The car turned another corner, and the two saw a young man in a black suit standing at the entrance of a courtyard house not far away. Upon seeing the car, he immediately raised his hand to greet them.
The car was parked right in front of him.
Jiang Jingxing unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, saying to her, "We've arrived."
Su Yan got off the car.
After Jiang Jingxing came down, the man in the suit patted his arm warmly and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang!"
Su Yan stepped out from the passenger seat, and his gaze shifted to her. He extended his hand and said, "This must be Miss Su, the one who wants to buy the courtyard house? Brother Jiang mentioned you to me on the phone."
"Yes." Su Yan smiled, shook hands with him briefly, and then continued, "May I ask how to address you, comrade?"
“My name is Wang Heqing. Miss Su, please don’t call me ‘comrade’ like that, it’s too formal. I’m 24 years old, so I should be older than you. You can just call me Brother Wang!” Wang Heqing said cheerfully.
Su Yan raised an eyebrow and replied, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer, Brother Wang."
Wang Heqing was overjoyed and said to Jiang Jingxing, "Brother Jiang, look how straightforward Miss Su is! I like straightforward people who don't mince words when they talk."
Alright, enough with the small talk, Miss Su, please come in with me. I'll give you a proper introduction to my courtyard house.
"good."
Wang Heqing led the way.
Jiang Jingxing deliberately lagged behind and walked alongside her.
Su Yan did not notice his little action.
Her eyes were already drawn to the courtyard house in front of her.
Entering a courtyard house, the first thing that catches the eye is the spacious courtyard, often paved with blue bricks or stone slabs in the center, surrounded by a covered corridor and side rooms.
The pillars of the corridor are made of wood and carved with patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, giving it an antique feel. The side rooms are arranged around the perimeter of the courtyard. They are relatively low bungalows with gray tiled roofs, which complement the overall style of the courtyard.
The yard is planted with many flowers, trees and shrubs, all of which are carefully tended, adding a unique touch to the yard.
The overall decoration is old-fashioned, bearing the marks of time, but it has a unique charm.
