During dinner, the two of them chatted with each passing sentence, creating a very warm atmosphere.
Afterwards, the task of washing dishes was entirely taken over by someone as if it was only natural.
Lu Jing had no intentions of refusing, after all, there’s a saying: "Men and women working together will not tire."
Half an hour later, the two appeared on the fire brigade’s drill ground, leisurely strolling around.
Walking after a meal aids digestion, so there was no need to rush.
After walking for a bit, Lu Jing suddenly spoke up:
"Jiang Ye," he called.
For a moment, it felt somewhat awkward to start the conversation.
After all, Lu Jing seldom did the kind of favor-seeking that felt like pulling strings.
The last time was six years ago, if he remembered correctly.
Jiang Ye’s eyebrows lifted, and he came to a halt:
"What exactly is it?" he asked again.
Lu Jing took a deep breath and pursed his lips before he finally managed to explain the matter.
"It’s just that, if it were anyone else, I’d let it go, but my sister-in-law has asked..."
Bai Luo, this woman, Jiang Ye had heard a bit about her, after all, she was Lu Yan’s wife.
Whenever they had the chance to gather, she would be mentioned.
Furthermore, it was probably in consideration of Lu Yan’s feelings that Bai Luo didn’t approach directly.
It has to be said, the Jiang family was in the wrong.
Although the incident wasn’t caused by the Jiang family, who could dispute that Jiang Qiu was the old man’s adopted daughter?
"Sure, give me her contact information, and I will have someone get in touch with her directly."
He agreed without a second’s hesitation.
The words that Lu Jing had on the tip of his tongue were forcibly swallowed back down.
"Alright, I’ll send it to you."
Standing face to face, Jiang Ye received the details, and without mentioning a departure, he made a phone call to his younger brother right in front of Lu Jing.
On the call, it evidently sounded lively:
"Check WeChat, and remember to contact them after."
Jiang Huai didn’t quite catch on:
"Wait, wait, wait, bro, who is this person you’ve given me? What’s this about?"
It was necessary to ask for clarification, right?
But did Jiang Ye have the patience for that?
"Can’t you ask yourself?"
Even Jiang Ye didn’t have the full picture!
Over the phone, Jiang Huai was taken aback:
"Okay, I’ll contact them when I’m free tomorrow," he said.
But just as he said it, his brother immediately rebutted:
"Wait for what tomorrow? Go take care of it now!
It won’t take up much of your time!"
Jiang Huai certainly didn’t have the nerve to defy his brother:
"Understood, understood, I’ll contact them now, okay?"
In the end, who were they?
Who would actually warrant his own brother passing on messages?
Jiang Ye had already hung up the phone and grabbed Lu Jing’s wrist:
"There, you don’t have to worry anymore."
Lu Jing moved his lips:
"Treating Jiang Huai like that, isn’t it kind of harsh?"
"What’s harsh about it?"
"I mean, you could speak to him nicely."
Jiang Ye laughed, unable to resist squeezing the woman’s face:
"Jiang Huai and I have been since we were kids; we’re used to it."
If one day that changed, that would really be scary.
Lu Jing glanced over, but ultimately said nothing more.
Afterward, the two of them walked around the drill ground for three whole laps before a team member approached them.
Lu Jing was already used to it and didn’t feel as awkward as she did at the beginning.
Since Jiang Ye was busy, she might as well wander on her own.
However, this time Jiang Ye did not take long, returning after a short while.
"Then let’s head back."
They had been out for almost an hour.
On the way back to the residential building of the Jiang family, Lu Jing suddenly stopped.
Jiang Ye promptly halted as well:
"Something else?" he asked. The rıghtful source is NoveI(F)ire.net
