Jiang Xiaoli smiled and pursed her lips. "Hehe, Uncle Xiao, it should be what you understand it to mean, right?"
Xiao Jincheng snorted, "How old is he?"
Jiang Chengle immediately stood up. "Uncle Xiao, I'm 25 this year."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but facepalm. He tugged at Zong Jiayu, "What should I do if I feel a little embarrassed?"
Were they really asking his age? Or were they implying he was too old?
Xu Feng overheard their conversation and realized what was going on. She chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, Ah Le's baby face looks quite young, huh?"
Xiao Jincheng objected, "It doesn't matter if it looks small!"
The group started chatting, completely ignoring Fan Lei who was standing to the side.
He covered his face and said to the security guards, "You saw it, right? He hit me first! I'm calling the police! I'm going to sue him!"
Jiang Chengle suddenly wanted to throw a punch again.
Zong Jiayu pulled him up, "Brother Le, take a rest."
He walked up to Fan Lei and said a few words. Fan Lei's face turned pale instantly, and he walked away with a stagger.
Jiang Xiaoli asked curiously, "What did you say to him?"
Zong Jiayu put his arm around her and walked into the ward. "I was just reminding someone because he has been arrested and is about to be sentenced to prison."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "He was so flustered, he probably has a close relationship with the person who committed the crime."
In the ward, Xiao Jincheng and Jiang Chengle sat facing each other, resembling an interrogation scene.
Jiang Xiaoli nudged Zong Jiayu's arm, "Doesn't this scene look like the time Uncle Xiao interrogated you?"
Zong Jia shook his head, "It's much more exciting than that time."
Xiao Muyu glanced at them speechlessly, "Are you two watching the show?"
Jiang Xiaoli pulled up a stool and sat down next to her with a grin. "Look at Brother Le's dark circles under his eyes, he's a pure love warrior!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Muyu was displeased. "You call yourselves best friends? Now you're on your cousin's side, aren't you?"
Her words caught the attention of Xiao Jincheng and Xu Feng.
Jiang Xiaoli quickly waved her hands to prove her innocence, "How could that be! I'm definitely on Xiaoyu's side!"
She ignored Jiang Chengle's resentful gaze. "Brother Le, you are indeed getting a bit old."
Xiao Jincheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xiao Li is right! Ah Le, I still have a good impression of you, but you and my Xiao Yu are not suitable!"
Jiang Chengle panicked, "What? What's wrong with it? I really like Xiaoyu!"
Xu Feng chimed in, "We only have Xiaoyu, so we'll definitely find her a Chinese son-in-law. I can't bear to see Xiaoyu marry into Great Britain."
Jiang Chengle immediately declared, "I want to be a son-in-law of China, and I'm ready to settle down here!"
However, Xiao Jincheng and his wife did not believe him. "A-Le, Xiao Yu is not someone you joked about on a whim. You are the eldest grandson of your family. The Jiang family may very well be yours in the future. How could you possibly settle down in China?"
Jiang Chengle took a deep breath. "Uncle and Aunt, Xiaoyu, I know you won't believe me no matter what I say now. Please give me some time. I will prove my feelings with my actions! Xiaoyu, take good care of yourself. I will come to see you again. Uncle and Aunt, Xiaoli Jiayu, I'm leaving now."
He left, and Jiang Xiaoli became the target of attacks.
Xiao Muyu stared at her and asked, "You knew all along, didn't you!"
She scratched her head. "I did know quite a while ago, but I really didn't help him!"
Xiao Jincheng waved his hand, "Xiao Li, it's not that I think A Le is bad, they're just not a good match. Xiao Yu is quiet, and I just want to find someone who can take care of him."
Xu Feng joined his side, saying, "That's right, I've also stayed at your Jiang family mansion. Xiao Yu can't handle your whole family!"
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Uncle Xiao, Auntie, no matter what we think, I think Xiaoyu's opinion is the most important. Don't you agree?"
Their gazes immediately focused on Xiao Muyu's face.
Xiao Muyu blushed and shook her head, saying, "I really don't know..."
Seeing this, Zong Jiayu stepped in to smooth things over, "Xiaoyu just had surgery today, let's talk about these things when she's feeling better. How about we discuss keeping watch tonight?"
Jiang Xiaoli patted the empty bed next to her. "I've already told them that this bed won't be occupied for the next couple of days. I'll stay here with Xiaoyu tonight. Uncle Xiao, you and Auntie should go back and get some rest. You can come back tomorrow during the day."
Xiao Jincheng and Xu Feng discussed it and agreed, "Little Pear, if anything happens to Xiaoyu, please call us immediately."
She raised her hand in a salute, "Yes, sir!"
Xiao Jincheng smiled and said, "Alright, we'll be going now."
Jiang Xiaoli told Zong Jiayu to go back as well, saying, "We'll have a private talk tonight, it's inconvenient for you to be here."
Zong Jia hesitated for a moment before giving in, "I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow."
"Okay, bye-bye."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the ward finally quieted down.
Jiang Xiaoli stretched and was about to open her laptop to write something.
Xiao Muyu tossed her a small orange, "Didn't you say you wanted to whisper something to me?"
Without looking up, she said, "Just say what you want to talk about. I can multitask."
Xiao Muyu pursed her lips, but didn't stop her.
She thought for a moment and then said, "I remember you said that love at first sight is unreliable, right?"
Jiang Xiaoli paused in her typing and said, "I'm not saying that people who fall in love at first sight are unreliable. I'm saying that 99% of the time, falling in love at first sight starts with liking someone's appearance, but it's also possible to start with looks, be captivated by talent, and remain loyal to their character, isn't that right?"
Xiao Muyu was stunned. "Then what you said was pointless!"
She pressed the laptop screen down slightly. "Comrade Xiao Muyu, what are you trying to confirm by asking this?"
Xiao Muyu looked a little flustered, and she muttered, "I was just asking casually."
Jiang Xiaoli continued typing, and said with a smile, "I want to know if Brother Le likes your face or you as a person?"
Xiao Muyu blushed, "Is it really okay for you to be so blunt?"
"Haha, I guessed right?"
She countered with, "What's your impression of Brother Le?"
Xiao Muyu thought for a long time before saying, "I think he's pretty good. He's smart, knows a lot but is very humble, respects women very much and has a gentlemanly demeanor. Also, he has a good temper and is emotionally stable. Even though you always bully him, I've seen him get angry."
"Tsk tsk," Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "If Brother Le knew you spoke so highly of him, he'd jump for joy!"
Xiao Muyu quickly said, "You're not allowed to be a spy!"
She closed her laptop and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll remain neutral about what's going on between you two. But I'd like to know, do you have feelings for Brother Le? In a romantic way."
Xiao Muyu shook her head, "I only ever thought of him as your cousin, and I never thought about this."
Jiang Xiaoli pressed further, "What do you think about it now?"
"I don't know, I just think he's a nice person, but I don't feel that way about him."
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Comrade Jiang Chengle still needs to work harder!"
