The men of the Jiang family weren't deliberately avoiding her. Even if they were in the mansion every day, it was impossible for them to stay in the backyard and see her frequently.
And according to her, what else could possibly happen? When a father and daughter or a brother and sister meet, all they usually do is exchange greetings and a few words. Besides, they are just acquaintances, so they can't possibly be that close. What else could she possibly expect to happen?
Xing Xiaoya's expression tightened. Faced with Jin'er's prompting, she naturally couldn't say anything more. She couldn't possibly reveal all her innermost secrets.
She's just not used to being the center of attention.
When she first transmigrated, although she was in a poor and remote area and had a bunch of awful relatives, she was always the center of attention. Everyone saw that she was capable of dealing with people and making money, so they all tried to please her.
She also found a wealthy young man. When they came to Wangjing, the villagers all came to see them off and gave them a lot of local specialties, hoping that she would rise to prominence.
When she arrived in Wangjing, although she had no connections and felt somewhat out of place, she managed to live quite well thanks to her intelligence and was very popular.
He then encountered the powerful princess, and even moved into the princess's residence. By all accounts, his future seemed limitless.
However, after arriving at the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion, although she became a Jiang family girl, all the preferential treatment came to an abrupt end. There were no more people surrounding her, nor were there any more people praising and flattering her.
It was as if she had been suddenly confined and could no longer contact the outside world.
"Actually, I've met Master Jiang a few times before, and he saved me several times..." Xing Xiaoya still felt uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but mention it.
“But when we met at the Marquis’s residence this time, he acted like a stranger. Sometimes when we bumped into each other, we couldn’t even exchange more than a few words.” Xing Xiaoya said this, trying her best to keep her tone calm, but her words still revealed a lot of resentment.
It shouldn't be like this. The first two times, he was the hero who saved her. He was so worried when he saw her that he couldn't even walk. She didn't believe there was no affection between them.
But when they met again, Jiang Chengxiao showed no reaction, being polite yet distant, as if it were all her imagination.
“Miss, that’s just how Master Jiang is. He’s always been good-natured towards young ladies, and even towards his servants. But he’s never done anything out of line. Besides, now that you’ve become his sister, you should keep your distance to avoid making a fool of yourself.” Jin’er didn’t take it seriously.
In comparison, Jiang Chengxiao is quite gentle with women, even servants, and can get a smile from them. But if anyone has any wild ideas and thinks they can climb the social ladder, they are sorely mistaken. He is not a fool.
Xing Xiaoya didn't hear what she wanted to hear, and even felt a little uncomfortable when she met Jin'er's smiling face, as if she was being laughed at.
She coughed twice and didn't say anything more, but she was still unhappy inside.
