Hearing her words, Jiang Tong paused, holding the teddy dog, her long lashes quivering slightly.
Qin Meiru sighed, "But since she got married, we haven’t been in touch for a long time. It’s quite a pity that I couldn’t see her one last time."
Tang Liangqin was the number one socialite in Beijing back in the day.
So glamorous...
It’s a pity, such a prominent figure, yet met an untimely end.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong’s eyes darkened slightly, unsure of how to respond to her words.
The silent atmosphere between the two was interrupted by the servant’s call of "Young Master."
Jiang Tong turned her head, just in time to see Bao Nan standing at the staircase.
Unaware that there were guests at home, Bao Nan came down wearing light grey loungewear.
The open collar clearly exposed his delicate collarbone, and his soft hair hung loosely on both sides, making his face appear less stern.
Jiang Tong felt very conflicted inside, almost reaching a point of silent cursing.
What the hell!
Why is it Bao Nan again!
How are the two of them so destined?
Why do they run into each other everywhere!
Bao Nan was equally surprised, abruptly stopping at the staircase.
"Hey, Little Pumpkin, you’re awake, come quickly and greet the guests."
Qin Meiru didn’t know that the two of them knew each other, so she waved directly at Bao Nan.
Only upon her calling did Bao Nan react.
He glanced down at his clothing, then looked at Jiang Tong staring at him.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he dashed back upstairs.
Damn it!
Why didn’t anyone tell him that Tongtong was here!
It wouldn’t do to leave a bad impression on his Tongtong by dressing like this!
Seeing him dash away, Qin Meiru furrowed her brows, "What’s with him? Normally, he’s not like this."
She knew her son, usually indifferent to others.
Why did he run away when he saw a girl today?
Could it be...
Do these two know each other?
"Don’t mind him, my son is just like that," Qin Meiru smiled as she approached Jiang Tong, ready to glean information about the two.
Jiang Tong awkwardly coughed a few times, "It’s fine."
"Oh right, I don’t think I asked your name yet?"
"My name is Jiang Tong."
"Jiang?" Qin Meiru paused, "Which Jiang?"
Upon hearing her ask this, Jiang Tong pondered momentarily and then decided to conceal her real surname, "The ’jiang’ of ’river’."
Because Qin Meiru seemed to know her mother, and the Jiang Family name was very prominent, it would be easily traced back to her if investigated.
She didn’t wish to attract too much attention.
"Oh, the ’jiang’ of ’river’, Jiang Tong, right?" Qin Meiru nodded in sudden realization.
After chatting for a while longer, just as Jiang Tong was preparing to leave, Bao Nan reappeared at the staircase.
This time, he was deliberately dressed up, in a dark Italian tailored suit, with his hanging hair slicked back with gel, making him appear much sturdier.
Seeing him like this, Qin Meiru was full of smiles.
Bao Nan’s actions further confirmed to her that there was indeed something between them.
Otherwise, her reserved son wouldn’t have behaved so oddly.
However, considering the conversation she just had with Jiang Tong.
Her son seemed to be in a one-sided love...
Tch.
Didn’t expect him to have this day.
But as his mother, it’s better for her to lend him a hand.
