As Jiang Xiaoli left the Xiao family, she couldn't help but smile.
Couples in the ambiguous stage of their relationship seem to have a better chance of getting together!
Ouch!
They were climbing the stairs when Zong Jia suddenly stopped and she bumped into him.
Why did you suddenly stop?
Zong Jia patted her head and asked, "Are you that happy?"
Jiang Xiaoli looked up at him with wide eyes, "Do you know why I'm happy?"
I hope no one outside heard their conversation!
Zong Jia smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xu didn't hear it. I heard it when I called you."
Jiang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly moved around him and stood on the higher steps, pulling on his ear.
"Is this your telescope? It works incredibly well!"
Zong Jia reached out and hugged the little girl's waist. "Hehe, not bad."
Jiang Xiaoli ruffled his hair haphazardly. "You have to keep this a secret for now, understand? Especially don't tell Brother Le! We can't let him get too proud!"
Zong Jia felt a pang of sympathy for Jiang Chengle, then obediently nodded, "Don't worry, I know."
...
On Saturday, Li Guizhi's "Guizhi Restaurant" will be closed for a day.
At noon, the two families, along with an unofficial family member named Zong Jia, had a meal together.
Li Guizhi brought a lot of gifts. "These are all things I've collected from various places over the past few months. My mother-in-law and sisters-in-law all like them. Could you please give them to them for me?"
Xu Feng smiled and agreed, "No problem. I also brought gifts for the old lady, Xing'er, Wang Min, and the children. I'll take them with me when we visit the Jiang family."
Jiang Xiaoli took out a set of keys. "Auntie, these are the keys to my apartment. The apartment manager has already cleaned the place up."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Bai Zhi will pick you up when you land in Wudu. You are familiar with her, so just tell Bai Zhi if you need anything."
Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really worried that we wouldn't recognize the person who was picking us up at the airport. Bai Zhi is a really nice girl!"
After explaining the precautions, Xiao Muyu got into Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu's car on the way to the airport.
"Xiao Li, Bai Zhi went to pick us up, which means the Jiang family already knows we're arriving in Wudu tomorrow. Does that mean Brother Le is..."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and patted her hand. "Don't worry, Brother Le doesn't know you're leaving today. He's been avoiding his grandparents and uncle and aunt lately, and doesn't dare to call home to find out what's going on."
Xiao Muyu asked curiously, "Why is Brother Le avoiding Grandpa Jiang and the others?"
She didn't explain, saying, "Let Brother Le tell you about this later."
Xiao Muyu became even more curious, but despite sticking to Jiang Xiaoli the whole way, she couldn't get an answer from her.
Upon arriving at the airport, the two girls sent by Yang Guang met up with them.
They gave a quick and easy self-introduction: "My name is Dong Qian!" and "My name is Dong Jing!"
Xu Feng greeted them with a smile, "Are you two sisters?"
Dong Qian smiled and replied, "Yes, we are cousins."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at them and said, "Dong Qian, Dong Jing, I'm entrusting Aunt Xu and Xiao Yu's safety to you two. Make sure you protect them in case of any dangerous incidents."
The two nodded in unison, "Don't worry, President Jiang!"
After seeing the four of them off, Xiao Jincheng asked, "Xiao Li, those two girls I saw earlier didn't look very old, but they seemed quite energetic. Were they also veterans?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, Uncle Yang's group is mostly made up of veterans. They're quite skilled. I've seen them train, and they hold their own against men."
Xiao Jincheng patted her shoulder happily, "Little Pear, you put your heart into it."
She smiled and said, "Of course! The Jiang family will take care of Auntie and Xiaoyu, but they can't protect them personally. It's more reassuring to have someone with some fighting skills by your side when you're in a foreign country."
Li Guizhi remarked with deep feeling, "Exactly! Didn't we encounter a robbery when we went to see your houses before? The robbery was a minor incident. Otherwise, what would we do if it were just a robbery? Those two women weren't very capable of fighting back."
Xiao Jincheng gave a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, what you said has made my heart jump again."
Jiang Xiaoli comforted her, "Xiaoyu is going to get her skin scars repaired this time. Jiang's medical beauty center is in the center of Wudu City, very close to my apartment. And with Dong Qian and Dong Jing protecting her, everything will be fine."
Li Guizhi realized that she had said the wrong thing earlier, "Yes, yes, Jincheng, don't worry too much."
Xiao Jincheng nodded, "Yes, I understand, thank you, sister-in-law."
That evening, Jiang Xiaoli was lying in bed reading with her legs up when Jiang Chengle called. "Xiaoli, could you go check on Xiaoyu for me? She hasn't been online on 'SOSO' all day!"
"It's normal that she's not online. Xiaoyu should be online at an altitude of 10,000 meters."
Jiang Chengle was stunned for a moment, "Xiaoyu is flying to Chongqing today?!"
"Hmm," she said with a smile, "but there's no prize for answering correctly!"
Jiang Chengle's tone suddenly turned so dejected, "Xiaoli, do you think Xiaoyu hates me that much? She doesn't want me to see her off at the airport and won't tell me the time no matter what I say, and she won't even let me tell her."
Jiang Xiaoli suppressed a laugh and asked in a calm tone, "Are you giving up?"
"Who said that!" Jiang Chengle retorted loudly, "I will not give up!"
He lowered his voice, "I'm just a little bit disappointed, just a little bit."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly realized that she had a really bad sense of humor; she really enjoyed watching these back-and-forth romantic scenes!
She smiled and said, "Good luck, Brother Le!"
When Jiang Chengle learned that Xiao Muyu was alright and hadn't been online because she was on a plane, he instantly lost the mood to chat with his sister. He casually replied, "Okay, bye-bye, go to sleep early," and hung up the phone.
Jiang Xiaoli laughed and rolled around on the bed.
Unable to contain her gossip, she called Zong Jia, one of the only two people in the know.
Zong Jia had just finished washing up. When he answered the phone, his voice was chuckled. "What, you already miss me after we just parted?"
Jiang Xiaoli didn't respond to him, but instead recounted in detail how Jiang Chengle had called her.
"Haha, don't you think they're just going to keep pulling in circles?"
Zong Jia could only agree by saying, "Yes."
Jiang Xiaoli explained the content of her accident to Zong Jiayu on her own.
The phone call lasted a long time. Zong Jia listened to her while reading a book. Gradually, her voice became softer and softer until it disappeared completely.
Zong Jiayu waited two minutes before calling out into the microphone, "Little Pear?"
There was no response on the other end of the phone.
He smiled indulgently and said into the microphone, "Goodnight, Little Pear. Sweet dreams."
