Shangguan Wenbin is my younger brother, and since I have a car, I won’t owe him any favors by asking him to pick us up.
The day after Jiang Xue called, it just so happened that Shangguan Wenbin didn’t have class, so he drove his car to Huanglong Village to pick up Jiang Xue and a few elderly people, and together they went back to Xu City.
Before leaving, Jiang Xue went to the camp to deliver some clothes and food to Mu Qiancheng and told her that she would bring her in-laws back to Xu City.
After returning from the camp, Jiang Xue then went to the hospital, inquired about Nangong Chen’s condition, and asked the nurse to relay a message to him before she left directly.
When Nangong Chen heard that Jiang Xue had returned to Xu City, he was slightly stunned. Thinking back to his first impression of her, he smiled.
Indeed, Jiang Xue was not from around here.
Nangong Chen thanked the nurse and, realizing Jiang Xue was no longer there, suddenly felt a bit uninterested. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
So, he got up to borrow the hospital’s phone, contacted his people, and planned to be discharged.
After staying in the hospital for ten days, the wound had already scabbed over, and it was time to leave. As soon as Nangong Chen made a call, his people quickly came to pick him up.
Before leaving, Nangong Chen asked the nurse for Jiang Xue’s address. Unfortunately, the nurse didn’t know Jiang Xue’s address in Xu City; she only knew that she was from Huanglong Village.
Nangong Chen felt a bit disappointed hearing this from the nurse, thanked her, and then left.
Once out of the hospital, the first order Nangong Chen gave to his subordinates was to investigate Jiang Xue. He not only wanted her address but also wanted to know more about her.
Before his subordinates could find out about Jiang Xue, Nangong Chen didn’t return right away either. Instead, he stayed with his subordinates in Xu City, both to recuperate and to see if he could find Jiang Xue.
For some reason, ever since he met Jiang Xue that day, he felt a kind of curiosity about her and wanted to understand her.
Because of this, he decided to stay in Xu City for a while.
Jiang Xue had no idea about Nangong Chen’s arrival in Xu City. After returning to Xu City, Jiang Xue became busy.
She first received a call from the police station; Ming Lan was looking for her. Naturally, Jiang Xue had no favorable impression of Ming Lan.
However, Ming Lan specifically asked someone to find her, which piqued her curiosity about what Ming Lan wanted with her. So, she took some time to visit the police station and saw Ming Lan.
As soon as Ming Lan saw Jiang Xue, she put on a victim’s façade and said to her, "Jiang Xue, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, won’t you?"
Seeing Ming Lan pleading as soon as they met, Jiang Xue was a bit taken aback. She remembered how arrogant Ming Lan was the first time she visited her home.
But now, she was begging her—what a huge contrast.
"Miss Ming, I’m sorry, I can’t help you." Jiang Xue shook her head and refused Ming Lan. She never expected Ming Lan to seek her out just to ask her to get her out.
Not to mention, after all, she bribed Brother Long and the others to kill Mu Qiancheng. Even if she hadn’t, Jiang Xue still wouldn’t help her.
Knowing Ming Lan’s intentions, Jiang Xue didn’t want to stay any longer and got up to leave.
When Ming Lan saw Jiang Xue about to leave, she immediately cried out loudly, "Jiang Xue, I’m your aunt, how can you just watch me die and not save me?"
"I’m sorry, we have no relation." Jiang Xue gave Ming Lan a cold look and walked away without turning back.
Your aunt? She had the nerve to say that, after causing the death of her own parents, she still shamelessly claimed to be her aunt. I’ve seen shameless people before, but not to this extent.
