"I’m not going." Jiang Xue shook her head, having lost any goodwill towards the Jiang Family; she didn’t want to see them.
Of course, An Ru was an exception. Thinking of An Ru, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but recall the matters she specifically discussed that day, and said to Lu Jintian, "By the way, I heard Old Sir Jiang is investigating again recently. You should go see him and take my place."
"You really..." Lu Jintian started but didn’t finish. It was clear Jiang Xue truly disliked the Jiang Family.
However, at this mont, Jiang Xue didn’t know that before Lu Jintian could et Old Sir Jiang, they had already found her.
The next day, Jiang Xue was resting; since she didn’t need to go to school or the company, she was at ho with the kids. Niu had gone out grocery shopping, while Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang followed the elderly folks in the neighborhood to the supermarket.
anwhile, the doorbell rang, and Jiang Xue, without thinking much, opened the door directly. When she saw who was standing outside, her expression changed slightly.
Jiang Xue couldn’t believe it; after talking to her brother about the two elders of the Jiang Family just last night, they ca over directly today.
"Old Sir Jiang, Old Madam Jiang, please co in!" Jiang Xue recovered and spoke coolly. Since they were at the door, she couldn’t very well chase them away.
Even if she didn’t want to admit it, they were still her grandparents.
Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang felt a bit embarrassed, but they followed Jiang Xue inside nonetheless.
"Please have a seat. What would you like to drink?" Although she didn’t like them, hospitality was mandatory.
"Jiang Xue, don’t trouble yourself, sit down and talk with us." Old Sir Jiang spoke, stopping Jiang Xue from bustling around.
Jiang Xue heard this and didn’t say anything further, poured a cup of tea for the two elders, then sat down and asked, "What brings you here today?"
"Jiang Xue, we..." Old Sir Jiang started but didn’t know how to continue with Jiang Xue. He wanted to apologize to Jiang Xue but couldn’t bring himself to.
Old Sir Jiang couldn’t speak, and Jiang Xue didn’t rush him, instead picking up the phone beside her and calling Lu Jintian, "Brother, could you co to my house? Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang are here."
After hanging up, Jiang Xue looked at Old Sir Jiang, smiled, and asked, "Sir, what did you want to say just now?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Old Sir Jiang shook his head, then picked up the tea Jiang Xue had just poured and drank it. anwhile, Old Madam Jiang, seeing him like this, got a bit anxious, gently glared at him, then looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Little Xue, we’re here to apologize."
"Old Madam Jiang, you’re exaggerating. You didn’t do anything wrong, so why apologize?"
For so reason, Jiang Xue’s words made Old Madam Jiang feel she was being sarcastic. She instantly felt displeased but rembered it was indeed their fault, and Jiang Xue was their only granddaughter now, so she bore it again.
"Little Xue, I know you’re angry, holding a grudge against us. We were wrong before, we didn’t believe you, and instead trusted Cheng Li. We’re sorry!"
"Old Madam Jiang, look how you’re saying this, how could you be wrong? You investigated thoroughly back then, didn’t you?" Jiang Xue scoffed, looking at the hesitant pair who ca to apologize, she was very disdainful inside.
Who knows what problem they have, even coming specifically to apologize. No doubt, their intentions are not purely about the apology. Jiang Xue knew perfectly well what they wanted. However, she wouldn’t let them succeed.
