Once Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng left, the elders began asking about Jiang Xue’s identity. After all, if Mr. Chen esteemed someone, she certainly wouldn’t be an ordinary person.
However, upon learning that Jiang Xue was just a rural kid who hadn’t even graduated high school, they were astonished.
"Old Chen, you’re not lying to us, right? That girl doesn’t look like a rural kid at all."
"Exactly, Old Chen, don’t fool us."
"Mr. Chen, don’t worry, even if you’re honest with us, we won’t fight with you over her."
"Honestly, I’m not lying to you all; Jiang Xue is indeed a child from the countryside."
"Facts are facts. However, she is indeed a talented girl. Her handwriting is truly quite impressive. I suppose you’ve seen them before: those few pieces in the corner are all written by her."
"What, you’re saying those three pieces were written by Jiang Xue?"
"Exactly!" Old Chen nodded and then said to his old friends, "During the auction, I recommend that if you have the opportunity, bid on those pieces; it’ll be beneficial for you."
"What do you mean? You can’t be advertising for Jiang Xue, right?"
"Indeed, Old Chen, you do care quite a lot for that girl. If people didn’t know better, they’d think she was your own granddaughter."
"That’s because I have a connection with Jiang Xue; she caught my eye."
The group of elders chatted and laughed, and time swiftly passed until the waiter served the dishes, which prompted them to pause.
Meanwhile, after Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng left the exhibition hall, they headed straight back to the inn.
"Chengcheng, Xue’er, why are you back already?" Bai Yuhua was a bit surprised to see the couple return at noon. She had thought they would only return in the afternoon, and was just discussing with her husband, Mu Siwu, that they could go out to grab a bite casually.
"Dad, Mom, you haven’t had lunch yet, right? Let me take you out for a meal," Jiang Xue said with a smile.
"No need to go through so much trouble, just bring back something. Here, unlike at home, everything costs money, and we should spend cautiously."
"Dad, Mom, regardless, a meal is a must. Don’t worry; it won’t cost much just to eat a meal."
"Dad, Mom, let’s go, your son will treat you to a meal." Mu Qiancheng also joined in persuading them. He knew his parents were accustomed to being thrifty and didn’t want to spend more money.
However, food is essential. How can they not eat? New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelFirｅ.net
And besides, it’s rare for his parents to visit the city; he couldn’t let them go hungry, could he?
"But..." Bai Yuhua wanted to say more, but Mu Siwu spoke up, saying, "Alright, wife, just accept the kind gesture from our son and daughter-in-law."
"Alright then, I’ll listen to you." With her husband having spoken, Bai Yuhua couldn’t say much more.
"Then let’s go!" Jiang Xue smiled, reaching out to take Little Reunion from Bai Yuhua. But Mu Qiancheng beat her to it, scooping up their son and saying, "Xue’er, I’ll carry him. You lead the way in front and see which place looks good."
"Alright, I’ll make the decision then." Jiang Xue’s eyes filled with laughter, silently giving Mu Qiancheng an extra five points in her heart.
In her previous life, Jiang Xue had spent five years in Xu City and was very familiar with this area. She quickly found a nice little restaurant not far from the inn.
Most importantly, this small restaurant had a few specialty dishes that were quite good. So, she wanted to let her parents-in-law have a taste.
