“I wanted to thank you,” Xiao Lang replied with a little apprehension.
He was usually cool with girls and was able to talk and laugh with most of them, including the old Jiang Yining.
But ever since he heard her play “Clear Spring”…
He could no longer face her calmly.
Xiao Lang found his own nervousness ridiculous, but he couldn’t help himself.
“Didn’t I make it clear to you before? It’s a gift and you’re welcome.” Jiang Yining replied very calmly and walked out looking straight ahead.
Xiao Lang followed her out. “But I can’t accept such an expensive gift for nothing.”
“If you really want to thank me, donate some money to a charity.”
“Not a bad idea.”
Xiao Lang nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yining walked to the elevator and pressed the call button. She realized that he was still following her and said, “Please don’t follow me around. I’m born with a short temper and may do unfriendly things when provoked.” Was she threatening him?
Xiao Lang smiled when he heard that. “You’re quite a unique girl.”
“I feel like that’s an insult,” Jiang Yining replied slowly.
“No, that was me praising you.”
Jiang Yining’s expression remained calm.
Ding!
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Jiang Yining walked in.
Xiao Lang followed her in.
Jiang Yining’s face darkened. “Did you think that I was joking with you?”
“No, I know you meant what you said but I would still like to talk to you about Elder Liang’s score and his life story.”
“Oh, but I don’t want to tell you.”
This girl really had her walls up high. Did he look like a bad person?
Xiao Lang touched his chin. “What do you want before you tell me? As long as I can do it, I’ll make it happen.”
Jiang Yining shook her head subconsciously but in that moment, she thought about Lin Yan and changed her mind.
“Do you know much about the Lu family?”
The Lu family?
He had just returned from abroad. From whom was he supposed to find out about the Lu family?
Besides, wasn’t Jiang Yining the young madam of the Lu family? Why did she ask an outsider about the Lu family?
Xiao Lang felt strange but he didn’t show it. He nodded slightly and said, “Quite well. The Xiao family is one of the four prominent families in A-City after all. We have a good relationship with the Lu family.”
“In that case… Why don’t we find a place and have a good chat?”
Jiang Yining’s interest was piqued.
She had been married to the Lu family for so long, yet she hadn’t been able to pry any useful information about Lin Yan out of the people there.
She might as well change tactics and try to find out from other people.
Xiao Lang was potentially a good source.
After all, his network must be vast as the heir of the Xiao family.
“Sure,” Xiao Lang agreed with a smile. “My car is parked outside. I’ll drive.”
Jiang Yining shook her head. “Your car is too eye-catching. I don’t like it. Let’s walk.”
She had been slandered online for cozying up to the rich.
The rumors had finally died down.
She didn’t want to stir up more trouble.
Moreover, Gu Zhanqing had already arrived at A-City. He hadn’t found her yet because he would never expect her to have the gall to marry Lu Zhi.
It was better for her to keep a low profile and buy some time to find Lin Yan.
Xiao Lang was quite easy going, and he would usually indulge her.
The two of them walked along the road lined with tall sycamore trees.
Xiao Lang looked at the cold Jiang Yining beside him, as if he had returned to his youth.
At that time, his heart would beat wildly for a long time when he met the girl he fancied.
It was difficult for him to experience such a feeling nowadays.
Because of this, he felt that Jiang Yining was different from the others..
