Jiang Zhou's words "The world is indeed a small place" had a slightly rising tone at the end, which carried some inexplicable meaning, making Yu Bai inexplicably uncomfortable.
What made her heart skip a beat was that he actually called out her name accurately!
On the highway in the afternoon, she never mentioned her name.
Could it be that Professor Li had mentioned himself to him in advance?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Yu Bai quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and forced a polite smile on his face: "What a coincidence. By the way, grandpa and grandma...are they feeling better?"
Seeing that Yu Bai looked normal, Jiang Zhou's smile deepened a little, and he moved aside to make way.
"Thanks to Miss Yu Bai's refreshing incense, my grandparents are feeling much better now. They're talking to Grandpa Li inside right now. They keep saying how much they want to thank you."
"That's good." Yu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the old man was fine, it was fine.
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Li Baizhong's slightly louder voice came from the main hall, with a bit of joy: "Is it Xiaobai girl here? Come in quickly, come in quickly! Don't stand at the door!"
"Yes, Professor Li, I'm here!" Yu Bai responded crisply, his steps becoming lighter. He crossed Jiang Zhou and walked quickly towards the main hall.
Behind Yu Bai, Jiang Zhou followed slowly, but his eyes were always on her.
Yu Bai has a similar aura to him - both are hiding secrets.
This sense of fellow feeling, mixed with the goodwill brought about by her help, also made him develop a strong interest in Yu Bai.
Yu Bai naturally noticed the gaze behind her. Although she didn't know Jiang Zhou's specific thoughts, she instinctively felt that this man seemed to have some interest in her.
It's not the kind between men and women, but more like curiosity and approach to an interesting soul.
She walked quickly into the main room and saw that the two old men were indeed in good spirits and were having a pleasant conversation with Professor Li Baizhong.
"Professor Li, Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, good evening." Yu Bai greeted respectfully.
Li Baizhong smiled and waved, "Hey, little Bai girl, come here quickly! Let me introduce you. This is your Grandpa Jiang, this is your Grandma Jiang, and this is their grandson, Jiang Zhou, who came from the capital."
The Jiang family in Beijing?
Yu Bai's heart skipped a beat, but he kept smiling and greeted them politely, "Hello, Grandpa Jiang, Hello, Grandma Jiang."
If it was just an ordinary family, she wouldn't have to think too much about it.
But when Professor Li specifically mentioned the "Jiang family in Beijing", these four words exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt!
In her previous life, she was tortured to death by Zhou Anan. While she was unconscious, she vaguely heard the conversation between Zhao Jia and Zhou Anan.
Zhou Anan's tone was filled with panic and resentment: "Dad said that the Jiang family in Beijing seemed to be taking action... After dealing with that bitch Yu Bai, he would send us abroad... Otherwise it would be too late..."
At that time, Yu Bai felt a morbid sense of joy welling up in his heart.
Jiang family?
good!
Kill them!
It would be best if their families were destroyed and they could never stand up again!
Could it be that... this Jiang family is the same Jiang family?
If that's true, that would be... great!
Yu Bai's thoughts raced. No matter what, being on good terms with the Jiang family would only benefit her.
Thousands of thoughts flash through my mind in a flash.
Yu Bai suppressed all his surging emotions, took out the two prepared brocade bags from his small bag, and handed them over:
"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, this is some incense I made to calm the mind and refresh the brain. It's not a token of respect, but I hope you like it."
Mrs. Jiang took it and smelled a delicate fragrance, which immediately made her smile.
"Oh, this child is so polite! The fragrance this afternoon was so good that it even made me, an old woman, feel better. Thank you so much!"
"Hey, Xiaobai! Do you still have that herbal ring you made?"
Li Baizhong suddenly spoke and pointed to the ring on his hand.
"They're so pretty, why not give one to Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang to wear? They're good for your health!"
When Yu Bai heard this, his heart moved again.
Professor Li's words were clearly a reminder to her!
To make him take it so seriously that he even directly "asked" for her little gadgets, the identities of these two old men in front of him must be much more valuable than she imagined!
Yu Bai understood what he meant and quickly lowered his eyes. With the cover of the small bag in front of him, he quickly took out three crystal core rings from the space.
That’s right, three.
Originally, she only wanted to take two and give one to Grandpa Jiang and one to Grandma Jiang.
But out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Jiang Zhou who had walked a few steps closer to her and was looking at her with a smile, his eyes gentle yet with a hint of inquiry.
He has an upright figure and a calm temperament. Even if he is just standing there quietly, he has an unignorable presence.
Yu Bai had an idea and simply took one more.
She raised her head, still with that humble and decent smile on her face, and handed the two rings to Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang respectively.
"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, this is a herbal ring I made myself. Wearing it for fun might be good for your health."
Then, she turned to Jiang Zhou and handed him the last ring: "Mr. Jiang, this one is for you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Zhou's eyes, as if he didn't expect that he would be involved.
But he soon put away his surprise, a faint smile appeared in his deep eyes, and he reached out to take it.
The fingertips accidentally touched Yu Bai's fingertips, which were slightly cool and delicate.
Jiang Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you."
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were each looking at the rings in their hands.
The ring setting is made of pure gold, which feels warm and has a somewhat rustic texture. It is not particularly exquisite, but it has its own charm.
However, the "gem" inlaid on the ring surface made them a little unsure. The "gem" had a strange color, clear and transparent, and seemed to have a flowing light inside, but it was not any of the precious gems they were familiar with.
What kind of treasures had the Jiang family not seen? To be honest, they were not rare to see such a gold ring.
Even though the 'gem' was somewhat peculiar, it was far from enough to move them.
What is this old friend Li Baizhong up to?
The two old men exchanged glances, and both saw some confusion in each other's eyes.
Could it be... that it is really just to support this young man named Yu Bai?
But this way of promotion is a bit too... deliberate.
With their status, they have seen all kinds of human relationships and social practices, and they really couldn't figure out Li Baizhong's intentions for a while.
Li Baizhong naturally noticed the confusion and fleeting disapproval on the faces of his old friend and his wife.
He didn't point it out, but just waved his hand with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of mystery that left no room for doubt: "Hey, try it on! Lao Jiang, it's a good thing, you'll know once you try it on!"
