Mr. Chen was overjoyed to see Jiang Xue.
"Jiang Xue, what brings you here?" Mr. Chen asked with a cheerful smile. He realized it had been a long time since he last saw Jiang Xue.
"Mr. Chen, I came to see you and also to bring you some New Year’s gifts." Jiang Xue replied while putting down the items she was carrying.
"You girl, why did you bring so many things?" Mr. Chen looked at the table full of items and said with some reproach.
In fact, he had only casually helped Jiang Xue once, yet her repayment was far too generous. Not to mention the calligraphy she sent him before, and now she brought so many New Year’s gifts, making him feel a bit embarrassed to accept them.
"Just a little, it’s not much." Jiang Xue sat down in the chair opposite Mr. Chen, glanced around Chen’s house, and not sensing any New Year’s atmosphere, couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chen, are you not planning to spend the New Year here?"
She had visited Chen’s house several times, but apart from Mr. Chen, she hadn’t seen anyone else. So Jiang Xue guessed that Mr. Chen’s family might not be here. Now that it’s almost New Year’s Eve, and Chen’s house doesn’t look festive, she thought to ask.
"You figured it out?" Mr. Chen laughed heartily and said, "You came at the right time today; I’m planning to go to Beijing for the New Year early tomorrow morning."
"Is that so? Then I wish you a safe journey and an early happy birthday!" Jiang Xue laughed, feeling happy for Mr. Chen. Being reunited with family is a joyful and blissful thing.
Jiang Xue sat for a while longer at Old Jiang’s house before taking her leave. Before she left, Mr. Chen told her the date he’d be back after the New Year and gave her his phone number in Beijing, saying she could visit him if she had the chance.
Jiang Xue thanked him, and after leaving Chen’s house, she went over to Elder Xiao’s place. After delivering the New Year’s gifts, noticing the time was getting late, she hurried back to Xu City.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the station, a few men in black blocked her path and said, "Miss Jiang, my master invites you to come over."
"I’m sorry, I don’t know your master." Jiang Xue glanced at them and refused calmly. These men were obviously bodyguards, and judging by their looks, quite skilled ones at that.
But it was late, and she had to hurry back home. She had no interest in meeting the people behind these men. The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Miss Jiang, please don’t make it difficult for us." One of the bodyguards said rudely, dissatisfied with Jiang Xue’s lack of tact.
Who their master was, he’s the Young Master of the Nangong Family. Many people longed to meet their master. Yet here was this woman, ignoring their master’s invitation.
"Making it difficult for you?" Jiang Xue’s face turned cold, and she said, "I think it’s you making it difficult for me, isn’t it?"
"Miss Jiang, please don’t speak carelessly. We are not making it difficult for you. We’re just inviting you to meet our master, how could that be difficult?"
"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. If I asked you to meet a stranger, someone you don’t know, would you be willing?"
"Miss Jiang, once you go and meet our master, you’ll know him naturally."
"I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time. Please step aside, I need to go home." Jiang Xue coldly refused. No matter who it was, she wouldn’t go to meet them.
At this moment, she only wanted to return quickly, see her son, see her parents, and have a happy family dinner together.
