"It's just that I haven't talked to him much, so it's nice to take this opportunity to get to know him. Just let me know when he's free, and we can have a meal together and chat."
"If possible, I would like to see his skills. He must be very handsome."
Jiang Xiachu spoke cheerfully, recounting his impressions of Jiang Lin.
In fact, she didn't have a deep impression of Jiang Lin. She had only met him a few times when she was with Lu Huaiyan.
What she said just now was a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Lu Huaiyan felt inexplicably uncomfortable listening to her words. He pursed his lips tightly, and he didn't even realize that his fists at his sides had been clenched.
Why did he feel so unhappy when he heard Jiang Xiachu say these words happily?
After he finished speaking, Jiang Xiachu didn't stay with him any longer. After saying hello, he turned around and left.
-
Jiang Xiachu followed the path back according to his memory, taking big steps.
She had not walked for long when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps not far in front of her. She looked up and saw that Lin Qingli had already seen her and was running towards her.
“Xia Chu!!”
Lin Qingli ran very fast and rushed towards her.
Before Jiang Xiachu could react, she was hugged by her in a bear hug.
She rushed too fast, and Jiang Xiachu couldn't hold on for a moment. He staggered and almost fell down. He was shocked.
Lin Qingli didn't care about that. She just hugged her and cried, choking with sobs: "Xia Chu, you scared me to death! I thought you did something stupid! Wuuu! Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I don't know what to do..."
Lin Qingli's eyes were red, and she buried her head in her shoulder, crying non-stop, her voice trembling a little.
Jiang Xiachu was particularly touched, but she was hugged so tightly that she couldn't break free. She smiled helplessly, patted her back gently, and said softly, "I finally escaped a disaster, how could I do something stupid?"
"Okay, Qingli, I'm fine. Don't think too much. Just let go and see. Am I fine now?"
Jiang Xiachu persuaded her.
Lin Qingli groaned, hugged her tightly, and was reluctant to let go after a long time.
She raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe the tears from her face. She then pressed Jiang Xiachu's shoulders and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was indeed fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But I still feel heartbroken.
She grew up with Jiang Xiachu and knew her personality very well.
Although she said it was okay and that she didn't care, she was probably very sad in her heart.
After all, she is her biological mother, and it is unprecedented for her to do such a thing.
She sighed, raised her hand and rubbed Jiang Xiachu's head, then grabbed her hand, sniffed, and said angrily: "This Jiang Hongyan is too much! She is really not a competent mother! She doesn't even care about her own daughter!"
Lin Qingli became angrier as he spoke, and his fists clenched tightly.
Although she didn't like Jiang Hongyan in the past, she would at least politely call her Aunt Jiang. But now she has given up and just calls her by her full name.
The more she spoke, the more distressed she felt, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Jiang Xiachu chuckled, released her hand, hugged her instead, and said softly: "Qingli, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger."
"Don't worry, I've let it go. I won't have this mother anymore. You guys are my relatives now."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "I still have to prepare well. I already have a blind date."
Lin Qingli was confused and didn't understand. She frowned and asked, "What blind date? How come I don't know?"
Jiang Xiachu shrugged his shoulders and briefly told Lin Qingli what had just happened.
As soon as Lin Qingli heard this, her face darkened immediately. She was so angry that she almost exploded. She clenched her fists and waved them towards the sky twice, stomped her feet, and cursed: "Lu Huaiyan, do you have to be so excessive?!"
"Doesn't he know that you liked him so much before? Now he actually takes the initiative to introduce you to a blind date!?"
Xia Chu's heart was filled with him, but he ended up hurting her heart, and now he wants to introduce her to a blind date?
Where is his heart? Is he sincere?
Jiang Xiachu looked at the furious Lin Qingli, took a breath, chuckled, and remembered the words she used when she went to cancel the engagement a few days ago.
She said that she only regarded Lu Huaiyan as a brother and misunderstood the brother-sister relationship as love, which led to this incident.
Her eyes darkened, and she patted Lin Qingli's shoulder, her tone exceptionally calm, "It's good not to know. I've let it go in the future. Just think of him as a familiar neighbor brother. I've figured it out, and I won't let it get out of my mind anymore."
Lin Qingli watched Jiang Xiachu saying all this calmly, and she felt even more heartbroken. Her nose felt sore and tears instantly filled her eyes.
She wanted to cry.
Lu Huaiyan will never understand Xia Chu's thoughts.
God knows how sad she must be to say all this so calmly?
She has liked Lu Huaiyan for many years, and she has persisted even though she didn't get a response.
Jiang Xiachu is the type of person who likes to keep everything to himself. He won't say it out loud even when he's sad, for fear that she'll think too much and worry.
But the calmer she was, the more Lin Qingli felt sorry for her.
Even if she burst into tears now, at least all the grievances and sadness in her heart would be released.
But according to Jiang Xiachu's personality, he can't do it.
"Go back, Qingli, it's getting late."
Jiang Xiachu looked at her, raised his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped her tears, then took her arm and led her out.
Lin Qingli choked and sniffled as she walked, cursing non-stop: "This heartless man! We won't say a word to him anymore!"
Jiang Xiachu smiled and asked, "But he just saved me, shouldn't I be grateful for that?"
Lin Qingli cried, "But..."
Fortunately, there were not many people in the alley, so no one saw her crying.
Jiang Xiachu looked at her tears, put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Qingli, I know you are angry for me, but one thing is another, he saved me and helped me, it's a fact."
"Don't worry, I won't do stupid things again, and I won't look back and feel sad because of him. I know who treats me well, and I want to love those who treat me well, and I won't waste my thoughts on insignificant people."
Lin Qingli wiped away her tears, with a thin layer of mist still in her eyes. She looked at Jiang Xiachu with some suspicion and asked in a tearful voice, "Really?"
Jiang Xiachu smiled and tilted his head to look at her, "Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
