Thinking like this, Old Sir Jiang ultimately agreed with his wife’s suggestion and planned to find Jiang Xue after breakfast. If she disagreed, then they would persist until she consented.
After breakfast, the two elders of the Jiang Family went straight to Cuihu New Language and knocked on Jiang Xue’s door. However, they knocked for quite so ti and still didn’t hear anyone coming to open the door.
So, Old Madam Jiang went over to where the Jiang Family Parents lived and knocked on their door again. At ho, it was only Father Jiang who, upon hearing the knock, took a look through the peephole, seeing it was the two elders of the Jiang Family.
Upon seeing them, Father Jiang hesitated for a while before going to open the door and directly said to the two elders, "Old Sir, Old Madam, you’re here to find Xue’er, right? She’s not here; she’s gone out."
"Gone out?" Old Sir Jiang was taken aback, looking at Father Jiang, trying to discern sothing from his eyes. But to his disappointnt, he didn’t find any trace of deceit in Father Jiang’s eyes.
Could it be that Jiang Xue had really gone out? But it’s not even seven-thirty yet; how could she have gone out so early? They had purposely co early to catch Jiang Xue.
Unexpectedly, they were still a step too late, and Jiang Xue had already left. Could it be that she knew they were coming, so she deliberately left so early?
While Old Sir Jiang was lost in wild thoughts, Father Jiang spoke again, saying, "Yes, she left early with the child, saying she would stay out for a while."
"What? She won’t be back tonight?" Old Madam Jiang looked at Father Jiang, shocked. Initially, she planned to wait at his house, thinking Jiang Xue would naturally return in the evening.
Unexpectedly, as if knowing they would co, Jiang Xue not only left early but also won’t return for several days.
Could this be true?
Is it possible that Jiang Xue, foreseeing their visit, made up her mind to avoid them?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Jiang’s face turned ugly, and Old Sir Jiang naturally thought the sa, resulting in a similar expression.
"Old Sir, Old Madam, would you like to co in and sit for a while?" Father Jiang looked at the two with displeased expressions. A bit pleased inside, he maintained a neutral expression and politely offered.
He knew that without Jiang Xue, the two elders of the Jiang Family would certainly feel embarrassed to co in and sit at his place.
As expected, he was correct; Old Sir Jiang directly declined his offer, saying, "No need, we have sothing to attend to, we’ll be leaving."
The two elders of the Jiang Family ca full of hope and left disappointed.
Father Jiang watched them leave, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, closing the door in a good mood. When Mrs. Jiang ca back from shopping, he even bragged a bit to her.
After Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang left, they first returned to the hotel. Both knew Jiang Xue was deliberately avoiding them, which left them with mixed feelings and helplessness.
However, Old Sir Jiang decided to have soone investigate where Jiang Xue had gone before making further plans. Just then, one of his subordinates returned, the one he had previously sent to investigate Cheng Li.
Back at the Jiang Family, after Jiang Xue had inford them that Cheng Li also had a bracelet identical to the one she wore, Old Sir Jiang had sent soone to investigate Cheng Li.
Coincidentally, today they found conclusive information, which prompted them to report back to him.
Seeing his subordinate return, Old Sir Jiang temporarily forgot about investigating Jiang Xue.
As for Jiang Xue, she had already caught a ride back to the county early on. After several transfers, she arrived ho close to ten.
