Chapter 139 Going Abroad
After everyone left, Lu Jiaheng touched his nose and said to Qin Xuan in an unnatural way: "Well...everyone else has left, I...will just reluctantly accompany you to the karaoke bar."
Qin Xuan curled her lips and said, "Don't force yourself. I'm ugly and poor, how can I be worthy of President Lu to force myself."
As she turned around and was about to leave, Lu Jiaheng quickly grabbed her wrist.
"You've already received the New Year's gift, but you're still angry? I spoke too quickly, can I now solemnly apologize to Miss Qin? I'm sorry, I was wrong! Miss Qin is fair, rich and beautiful, and I was blind to her. Please don't bear grudges, don't be angry."
"Hmph!" Qin Xuan's expression softened and she put her hand on his arm. "If you want me to go to karaoke with you, that's fine. Just say: Princess, please get in the car."
Lu Jiaheng pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, respected Princess Xuanxuan, please get in the car!"
"Okay, little Lu!"
…
As soon as Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng entered the Xie family manor, they saw Gao Shuhua coming out of the main house with a suitcase.
Jiang Xianli stepped forward and said, "Mom, are you going on a long journey?"
"Well, I'm going abroad. In a few days, Xie Xiangan will find out that the factory is not only an empty shell but also in debt. If I don't leave, he will definitely come to make trouble. Who knows, he may even send debt collectors to ask me for the money. I'm going abroad for a month or two. First, I can travel and relax, and second, I can avoid the limelight."
"Then can you do it alone?"
"Of course, it's not the first time I go abroad alone."
"Then Jingcheng and I will take you to the train station."
There is no international airport in Haiping City yet. If you want to go abroad, you must take a train from here to Kyoto and then take a plane.
"No need. The sky is cloudy and it's going to snow again. You two just stay at home and wait for the driver to come."
Gao Shuhua got into the car after she finished speaking.
Jiang Xianli waved her hand, "Mom, have a safe trip. Call us when you get abroad."
"Okay, I'll bring you gifts when I come back."
…
The next day, Jiang Xianli woke up from Xie Jingcheng's arms, opened her eyes blearily, and saw that snowflakes were really falling outside the window.
She excitedly rubbed the face of the man who was still sleeping beside her.
"Xie Jingcheng, it's snowing, Xie Jingcheng... look, it's snowing!"
As for snow, she loves it so much that even though it only snows every now and then, she is still very excited every time it happens.
Xie Jingcheng was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He reached out and pulled her into his arms again.
"It's so cold, sleep a little longer. When it snows hard, I'll make you a snowman."
"Yeah, okay."
Jiang Xianli nodded, but her eyes were still looking out the window.
It was freezing cold outside, but warm as spring inside.
It's so nice to just lie there quietly with someone who loves you by your side.
But not long after, I heard a knock on the door downstairs.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law!"
Jiang Xianli sat up from the bed, "Xie Jingcheng, did I mishear? Why did I hear Yangyang calling us?"
"Second sister!"
This time she heard it clearly, "It's really Yangyang. He came here on a snowy day. I don't know if there's anything wrong. I'll go check it out."
If there was nothing wrong, her family would never come.
Jiang Xianli got up quickly.
Now that his brother-in-law is here, Xie Jingcheng naturally won't sleep anymore.
When I opened the door, I saw Jiang Xianyang carrying several plastic bags.
"It's so cold, why are you here? Come in."
Jiang Xianli took the things, Xie Jingcheng helped him take off his coat and patted the snow off his head.
"Mom said your maid was on holiday and would not come back to work until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. She was worried that you two would have nothing to eat at home. So she made two pots of steamed dumplings and stewed some vegetables and asked me to bring them to you. She got up at three in the morning to cook them."
Xie Jingcheng opened the bag and took a look. The steamed buns were still warm.
He smiled and said, "Mom really loves us too much, daughter-in-law, let's wash up quickly so that we can have breakfast."
"Um."
Jiang Xianli just nodded, not very moved.
After all, her mother's kindness to her now is not pure at all.
It's just because she married Xie Jingcheng that her mother wanted to have a good relationship with her and the Xie family.
Xie Jingcheng naturally knew that his mother-in-law cared so much about him because he was rich.
But what does it matter, as long as you don't cheat or harm him.
Besides, his mother-in-law is not greedy, and it doesn't matter to him if she occasionally uses tricks to take advantage of him.
He is also willing to give small favors to make his mother-in-law happy and bring harmony to the family.
Jiang Xianli said to Jiang Xianyang, "It's quite cold today, and the snow is getting heavier. You should stay here for two days and go home when the weather clears up."
Jiang Xianyang is tired of studying at home every day and wants to change his mind.
Then he said, "That's fine."
After Jiang Xianli finished washing up, she took all the things Jiang Xianyang brought to the kitchen.
There are steamed buns in steamed buns, scallion pancakes, deep-fried fish, radish balls and lotus root strips, steamed spareribs with rice flour, braised baby chicken, and brine-cooked beef and pig's trotters.
Jiang Xianli made two bowls of cereal and took a plate of steamed buns. Just as she put them on the dining table, Xie Jingfeng arrived.
"Hey... are there guests at home?"
Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "Second brother is here. This is my younger brother Jiang Xianyang. Xianyang calls me second brother."
Jiang Xianyang was very polite and quickly stood up, "Thank you, second brother."
"Hello, hello, please take a seat, we are all family, don't be polite."
As he said that, he looked at the dining table and said, "Are you guys preparing to have breakfast? It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, so I thought I'd come over to have a meal."
"Then let's eat together."
Jiang Xianli went back into the kitchen and made a bowl of cereal, took out a plate of steamed buns and a plate of scallion pancakes, and prepared a small dish of chili oil and a small dish of dried radish.
Xie Jingfeng took a bite of the bun and said, "This tastes pretty good. Is there still a bun shop open now? Where did you buy it?"
Xie Jingcheng said, "I didn't buy it. My mother-in-law made it for me. I asked Yangyang to deliver it to me early this morning."
"That's great. If I were to marry again, I'd have to marry a mother-in-law who can cook delicious meals."
Xie Jingcheng looked at him and said, "I'm so happy that you think so. I was afraid that you would have a shadow on your marriage."
"That's not possible. Marriage is still beautiful. It's just that my mother and I haven't met the right person."
"That's true."
Xie Jingcheng said as he put a small steamed bun in the bag for Jiang Xianli.
After dinner, the four of them got together to play mahjong.
After dialing twice, Xie Jingfeng's mobile phone rang.
He said a few perfunctory words and then hung up.
Then he sighed and said, "After this Chinese New Year, 18 families are looking to introduce me to someone."
Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "Have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen any of them, but I was able to see this one because my good friend Da Lei introduced me to him. We have a life-long friendship, so I have to give him some face."
As soon as he said that, Jiang Xianli's gossiping attitude came up.
"Who are you introducing to?"
"She is said to be well-behaved, sensible, good-looking, and young, only 19 years old, and her family conditions are also quite good."
Xie Jingcheng glanced at him and said, "Second brother, you are already 32 years old. Can you have the heart to do that to a 19-year-old?"
"If you can't go down, then what's the point of seeing them? Then just find an excuse to say you don't want to. Da Lei will bring them here in a moment, so it's a good opportunity for you to take a look too."
