Chapter 269: 188 Jiang Family’s Little Tsundere, This Ghost is Hidden Too Deeply_2
“I’m telling the truth, do you still want to hit ?” Xie Tongtong said as she hid behind Shen Zhixian, “Auntie, he wishes you two would just break up, otherwise he’ll have to be sworn brothers with Jiangjiang, haha…”
“You still dare to say that!” Xie Duo frowned.
He thought about it carefully, calling Jiang Yanting uncle was no problem, but suddenly becoming sworn brothers with that immature boy from the Jiang Family was even harder for him to accept.
That kid was quite arrogant!
“Xianxian, dating Jiang Yanting, if it really works out, it would be good, but in Beijing, this place with a lot of people and eyes, gossip is too much, especially since you’ve just t, you should be more cautious,” Du Jinglan warned.
Shen Zhixian naturally knew what she ant, which was basically about moving in together right after eting and causing disapproval.
After all, it was for her own good.
But as Du Jinglan spoke, Senior Xie just huffed, “Be cautious about what?”
“Now if it’s ti to talk about marriage, if they don’t get to know each other better, how will they know if this person is truly suitable?”
“Don’t say that nothing happened between them, even if there was sothing, what does it have to do with others? If you live everyday caring about others’ opinions, what joy is there in life!”
“Dad, I just ntioned it casually, why are you getting worked up, have so tea,” Du Jinglan said with a smile as she handed him a cup of tea.
“But I also want to see, even if the two of them cohabitate before marriage, who dares to talk nonsense, what does it have to do with them? These days, so people can’t even clean up their own ss, yet they always want to stand on top of others and point fingers, it’s absurd!” the old man took the tea and snorted coldly.
…
Shen Zhixian was just about to say sothing when her phone vibrated, a strange number, she usually got calls from unknown numbers at work, “I’ll step out to take a call.”
She stood up and went outside, pressing the answer button, “Hello—”
No response.
“Hello?” Shen Zhixian frowned, it couldn’t have been a wrong number.
“Hello—” A timid child’s voice ca from the other end.
“Jiangjiang?”
She said the na, and the Xie Family’s eyes focused on her, staring at her silhouette, expressions varied.
“I don’t know how the call reached you, maybe it was dialed by mistake, so I’m going to hang up!” Jiangjiang said, ready to end the call.
“Don’t hang up, can we talk for a while, okay?” Such an arrogant temper, really, who did he inherit it from, calling and then saying it was a mistake?
“I’m very busy.”
Shen Zhixian couldn’t help but laugh, “I know, just five minutes, okay? I miss you, I want to talk for a bit, alright?”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll reluctantly chat with you briefly.” Jiangjiang said, his heart already blooming with joy, clutching his phone, rolling around on the bed…
Shen Zhixian glanced at the Xie Family with the corner of her eye, having been back for so long, honestly, she couldn’t see any hint of difference.
This cunning one, really good at hiding.

After Jiangjiang hung up the call, he bounced a couple more tis on the bed.
Hearing a car outside, he bounced to the window to check, seeing Tang Yunxian’s car, he didn’t feel much, but suddenly, sothing caught his eye, and he imdiately lit up, dragging his slippers, and rushed downstairs in a hurry.
Right as he reached upstairs, he heard a loud and high-pitched bird call.
“Ah, my little darling!” Elder Tang had already co out from the bedroom with his cane, having just recovered from a severe illness, apart from al tis, he mostly lay in bed.
Hearing the familiar bird call, he hurriedly ca out from the room.
Seeing its owner, Hua i called out even more loudly and excitedly, flapping its wings, trying to burst out of the cage.
“Oh—this is the Hua i you’ve been raising, right?” the old lady also walked out from the house.
“Co, let see it.” Elder Tang took the birdcage from Tang Yunxian’s hand, his eyes unconsciously watering.
Keeping a bird was the sa as keeping a cat or dog, over ti, the affection deepened, Elder Tang’s fingers trembled with excitent.
“You’ve always said you missed it, right? I was driving back anyway, had no luggage, so I brought it along,” Tang Yunxian explained.
If it were in Pingjiang, Elder Tang could still go to the teahouse for tea and Chinese opera, but here, unfamiliar with life, barely any form of entertainnt, bringing the bird could also provide him with so company.
“Alright…” The old man held the cage and kept examining it.
Surrounded by a crowd, Hua i, the bird, proudly ruffled her feathers, like a haughty empress.
“This bird is well-raised,” the old lady comnted as she stood by, inspecting closely.
“This voice tells it’s really good,” Fan Mingyu said with a smile.
…
Being praised always felt great, and Hua i kept squawking loudly in response.
But soon, a childish and shrill voice ca from upstairs, “Daidai—”
The previously excited Hua i suddenly felt like withdrawing into herself!
“Daidai is here!” Jiangjiang excitedly ran to the front of the cage.
Not long after, he seed to rember sothing, greeted Tang Wan, and then ran into her room to fetch Lord Wansui from the tank before letting the turtle and the bird face each other, staring in a big-eyed gaze-off.
“Lord Wansui, this is Daidai, you two are going to be good friends from now on—”
“Squeak—squeak—” Hua i seed to have encountered sothing novel, her calls loud and clear.
Lord Wansui: Is this supposed to scare to death!
He retracted his head, hiding inside his shell, refusing to co out.
“Don’t be shy, co out and say hello, look, Daidai likes you a lot.”
Hua i intently stared at Lord Wansui, calling out exceptionally jubilantly…
“Co out, you’re the host, there are guests here, you can’t just keep hiding!” Jiangjiang frowned.
It wasn’t until the old man saw this scene that he hurriedly intervened, “Take the turtle away quickly.”
“Why? Daidai clearly likes it,” Jiangjiang protested, puzzled, as Hua i was caged and the bird and the turtle couldn’t physically touch each other.
“Hua i eats turtle shells, she’s probably excited because she wants to eat him!”
Lord Wansui: Being a turtle is so tough.
He escaped the potential danger of being made into braised soup only to be targeted by a bird!
“It’s okay, Lord Wansui, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you,” Jiangjiang laughed.
Lord Wansui: Can’t I just be a noble and peaceful turtle?
Leave alone!

In a coffee shop abroad
Jiang Chengsi and a doctor found a spot to talk properly, and by the ti he finished his story, the coffee in front of Jiang Chengsi had gone completely cold, the sunlight was so brilliantly blinding it was almost impossible to face.
“…That’s basically the situation. You said you’re her husband and ntioned so things to prove it. Normally, I wouldn’t speak of this, but during her hospitalization, I could tell she loved you deeply. I’ve encountered all sorts of patients over my lifeti, and she left a profound impression on .”
“But as for her current whereabouts, I truly have no idea. I hope you can find her.”
“No matter what the outco between you two, I hope she’ll be happy.”
…
The doctor’s tone was lancholic, perhaps recalling sothing as he sighed softly.
“Thank you,” Jiang Chengsi could only continue to play the role of a “scoundrel.”
“But her family is really nice. They traveled thousands of miles from abroad and stayed with her until she was discharged from the hospital…”
That probably referred to the Xie Family.
“If there’s nothing else, then I should go; I’ve got other matters,” the doctor checked his watch.
Foreign countries don’t care much for formalities, so Jiang Chengsi didn’t try to detain him or do anything else, but stood up to thank him and sent him off, his gaze deep and inscrutable…
