“Okay.” Lu Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. He guessed that since Jiang Yao had changed the topic, it meant that she was not angry at him any longer.
Well, she should not be mad anymore. If she was still angry, why would she talk to him?
“When are you going to book your plane ticket? I’ll free up my schedule to pick you up at the airport.” That was his last test to see if Jiang Yao was still angry.
“I’ll tell you after I’ve booked it. If you are not free, you don’t have to fetch me. I don’t mind taking a bus from Jindo,” Jiang Yao said. “It’s almost the New Year. There shouldn’t be a last-minute mission, right? I’ll cry if you leave me alone during the New Year.”
The army had played that trick on her during the National Day. If the same thing were to happen again during the New Year, Jiang Yao swore that she would scratch Lu Xingzhi to death.
“I don’t think so.” Lu Xingzhi smiled; he felt guilty. The army knew that his wife would be with him during the New Year, so they would repeat what had happened during National Day. Even if there were an urgent mission, the army would not send him on it. Furthermore, he would probably be transferred to another unit after the New Year.
“That’s good.” Jiang Yao saw Yang Gaoshu and Jiang Lei pushed and shoved each other, so she decided to hang up the phone as she was anxious about that. “I still have something to do here. I’ll call you later. I’ll hang up first.”
She was about to walk over to Yang Gaoshu and Jiang Lei when she heard Yang Gaoshu yelling at her brother.
“What does your sister mean? I only went into Wang Xian’s room; do you have to stare at me like that? Are you afraid that I’ll take something from Wang Xian?” Yang Gaoshu got more aggrieved as she spoke. Then, she immediately burst into tears. “I think the pair of gold earrings on Wang Xian’s ears are beautiful! Jiang Lei, didn’t you say that you’ll buy me earrings? Fine, then buy me a pair that’s the same as Wang Xian’s!”
“Yang Gaoshu! You’ve been bugging me all day! My sister has only been back for less than two days, and you’ve only met her this morning. How many times have you mentioned that? Yaoyao bought those earrings; where would I get you the same pair? I only earn 100 bucks per month! How much money would I have to buy you clothes and food? If you want gold earrings, then don’t buy clothes for two months!”
Jiang Lei was furious. Yang Gaoshu had been sulking at him for so long and then dragged him there just to complain.
How did he not realize that Yang Gaoshu was a troublemaker?
“Second Brother!” Jiang Yao walked toward them when she heard that. Yang Gaoshu wanted to complain, right? Well, Yang Gaoshu was not the only one with a sharp mouth.
“Yang Gaoshu, what do you want to ask me? Then I’ll tell you clearly today that I don’t like you!” Jiang Yao raised her chin arrogantly. “Do you know what I don’t like about you? I don’t like how you look at me like you want money and benefits from me. I don’t like how you went into Sister-in-law’s room and asked her to show you the gifts I gave her. I hate it when you demand things from her when you are alone with her. You even want the gift that I had given her. Yang Gaoshu, you are shameless and greedy! Do you understand now?”
