Zong Jia frowned deeply upon hearing this.
Then they saw Jiang Chengle take out his phone and make a call. He simply said, "Come over."
Soon, Bai Zhi came in from outside the courtyard to report, "Miss Li, the massage therapists that the young master invited have arrived. Should we call them in?"
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, yes! Quickly, let them in!"
She patted Jiang Chengle's shoulder hard. "Not bad! Well done! I was just thinking of getting someone to give me a massage."
Jiang Chengle winced in pain, "Little Pear, as long as you like it. These massage therapists are my parents' favorites. Enjoy yourself."
Bai Zhi brought in two female massage therapists and one male massage therapist, which was specially prepared for Li Guizhi, Jiang Xiaoli, and Zong Jia.
The three of them led the massage therapist back to their room, where Jiang Xiaoli truly experienced what traditional massage is all about.
She couldn't even remember how many times her bones had cracked and popped.
But after the massage, I really felt relaxed all over.
She felt lethargic and didn't want to move, so the massage therapist kindly covered her with a blanket and closed the door before leaving.
When Jiang Xiaoli woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
She ran into the courtyard, where Li Guizhi and Xu Feng were chatting and drinking the small wine produced by Jiang's Winery, while Xiao Muyu and Zong Jiayu were playing chess on the side.
She muttered, "Why didn't anyone wake me up?"
Li Guizhi said with a smile, "The massage therapist said it's best to wake up naturally after the massage. Are you hungry? I'll have someone get you something to eat."
She nodded. "I barely ate anything at noon, and right now I feel like my stomach is sticking to my back. I'm starving."
Zong Jia paused his chess game with Xiao Muyu, went to the front hall and brought out a plate of snacks. "The main meal will take a while, have some snacks to tide you over."
Xu Feng looked at the plate of pastries and said with a smile, "No wonder when Ah Xue came to play with Xiao Yu earlier, Xiao Zong wouldn't let her eat this plate of pastries. It turns out it was saved for Xiao Li!"
Jiang Xiaoli took a bite of the pastry, with some crumbs on her lips, and looked up at Zong Jiayu with a big smile.
"My Ah Yu is still the most considerate!"
Seeing her eating with satisfaction, Zong Jia reached out and ruffled her hair. "Little Pear always has a sweet tongue when she's full!"
Xiao Muyu shook her head at the two of them, "Zong Jiayu, are you still not going to play chess?"
Zong Jia sat back down at the chessboard and won the game with a few casual moves.
Jiang Xiaoli laughed out loud, "Ayu, it must be tough for you to play chess with Xiaoyu. You have to think about how to make the game last longer without winning."
Xiao Muyu's eyes widened, then she reached out and snatched the last piece of pastry from her plate. "Hmph! If eating can't shut you up, then don't eat!"
Jiang Xiaoli picked up Zong Jiayu's cup and took a sip of water. "Actually, we've eaten almost all the snacks. It's just time to fill in the gaps."
Zong Jia shook his head and chuckled, "What's the point of you going to coax them after you've made them angry?"
She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "You wouldn't understand the joy of loving and fighting each other."
Not long after, Bai Zhi returned with freshly prepared food from the kitchen, and Jiang Xiaoli truly experienced what a real love-hate relationship was.
As if competing with her in speed, Xiao Muyu and the other girl devoured the four dishes and soup on the table in a flash.
Jiang Xiaoli pouted, "You haven't eaten either?"
Xiao Muyu replied calmly, "I ate it."
Her eyes widened. "Then why are you still trying to take it from me? Aren't you afraid of overeating?"
Xiao Muyu patted her stomach, "It tastes so good when I'm fighting with you for food, hee hee hee!"
"Hey!"
Zong Jia, pulling back the little girl who wanted to rush in for a fight, remarked, "Tsk tsk, the joy of loving and killing each other?"
Jiang Xiaoli frowned and stared at him for a long time, then slumped her shoulders. "Alright, let's use their own tactics against them. Comrade Xiao Zong, I didn't expect you to be such a whiz in the world of debate!"
Zong Jia chuckled softly and reached out to smooth her hair. "Little Pear, do you still think I don't understand you?"
She then realized the purpose of his stunt, and poked his waist and abdomen, "Ayu, you're not much more cunning than me."
“Yes.” Zong Jiayu nodded. “My heart can only hold a tiny little pear.”
She glanced at the two mothers still chatting in the yard, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, "Ayu, don't try to woo a woman here, it's not appropriate!"
Before Zong Jia could speak, Xiao Muyu, who had just returned from the bathroom and saw the two of them kissing, said, "Is it really appropriate for you two to be so open with each other in front of me?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, then wrapped her arms around Zong Jiayu's neck even tighter and kissed him on the lips again. "Hehe, I have what you don't, don't be jealous."
Xiao Muyu rolled her eyes. "Should I call my mom and aunt in to take a look?"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly handed her the freshly squeezed juice that Bai Zhi had just brought, saying, "Xiaoyu, drink some juice! If you ask me, you really need to change your habit of tattle!"
Xiao Muyu looked at her with amusement, "You are the fastest person I've ever seen to back down and admit defeat, bar none."
She smiled and explained, "I call this 'a wise person adapts to circumstances.'"
Xiao Muyu made a very good impression, placing the empty glass in her hand, "Junjie, another one!"
Jiang Xiaoli looked at the last glass of freshly squeezed juice on the table, handed it to Xiao Muyu, and said through gritted teeth, "Here you go!"
...
After resting for two days following the family reunion banquet, Grandpa Jiang called Jiang Xiaoli to his study, where all three Jiang brothers were present.
Grandpa Jiang handed a document to Jiang Xiaoli and explained, “Xiaoli, although your eldest uncle is mainly in charge of the Jiang family’s business, our family has not yet divided up. However, due to various reasons in the early years, the three of them received a portion of the Jiang family’s shares. As the third son’s daughter, you are entitled to this portion as well.”
Jiang Xiaoli was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, she declined, saying, "Grandpa, discovering that Dad was a member of the Jiang family was just an accident. I never wanted any shares in the Jiang family."
Jiang Ruibo smiled and said, "Xiao Li, you really treat us like family, so you should take these shares. You are part of our family."
Jiang Ruixin also said, "Yes, Xiaoli, your grandparents have treated us all fairly and justly all their lives. Don't let them make an exception for you."
Although Jiang Ruilin didn't say anything, he gave her an approving look.
She hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Grandpa Jiang. "Grandpa, thank you!"
Grandpa Jiang said with a smile, "Little Pear, you are a good child. It's just that we will be living in two different countries in the future. Grandpa's only wish is that you come back to Chongqing to visit Grandma and me more often, okay?"
She nodded solemnly, "Grandpa, I will."
