"Walk sideways? What’s that? Are you a crab?" Jiang Xue caught onto a word and teased.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Li was furious, feeling a lump in her throat, neither able to swallow nor spit it out. After a while, she pointed at Jiang Xue and shouted, "Jiang Xue!"
"Why are you shouting? I’m not deaf," Jiang Xue frowned, looking at Cheng Li with displeasure. Trying to gain presence in front of her was a miscalculation.
"You, you..." Cheng Li was too angry to speak. But Jiang Xue didn’t want to listen to her any longer and directly cut her off, "Alright, alright, if you’re here just to show off, or to tell your new identity, I’ve already heard it, you can go now."
After speaking, Jiang Xue no longer paid attention to Cheng Li, went straight to her parent’s door, knocked, and entered the house.
Watching as the door shut in front of her, Cheng Li clenched her fists. She silently vowed, Jiang Xue, just you wait, I will definitely co back. Then it’ll be your turn to beg .
After making the vow, Cheng Li withdrew her gaze and then turned to leave.
"You’re back." Old Sir Jiang smiled amiably upon seeing Cheng Li return. Although Cheng Li was not as outstanding as Jiang Xue, she was obedient. Moreover, she seed more well-behaved than Jiang Xue, which pleased him considerably.
"Yes, Grandpa, I’m back. Have you eaten?" Cheng Li played the part of an obedient granddaughter perfectly in front of Old Sir Jiang.
It was precisely this that slowly changed Old Sir Jiang’s opinion, making him feel she was worth cultivating. Although she was a bit older, as long as she’s willing to learn, it’s never too late.
"I’ve eaten, but how about you, did you et your friends?" Old Sir Jiang’s tone beca increasingly kind towards Cheng Li, and his smile much more genuine.
Earlier, Cheng Li left the hotel they were staying at under the excuse of saying goodbye to a friend, so Old Sir Jiang was asking about it. However, what Old Sir Jiang didn’t know was that Cheng Li claid she was eting friends, but in reality, she was off to show off to Jiang Xue.
"Yes, I did."
"You haven’t eaten yet, right? Go eat quickly, it’s not good for your health to starve."
"Okay, I know, Grandpa."
Cheng Li chatted with Old Sir Jiang for a while and then went off to eat with a smile. Old Madam Jiang watched her leave and also showed a faint smile.
Initially, she didn’t like Cheng Li and always felt there was so barrier between them. It wasn’t like when she first t Jiang Xue, where she felt an imdiate warmth.
However, after spending a day with her, she realized Cheng Li was not without rit. At least she was quite perceptive and cared about them.
Unlike Jiang Mingzhu before, who, although she cared about them, seed to be doing it as a formality.
"Dear, give it ti. You’ll find Xiao Li has many good qualities."
"I know." Old Madam Jiang nodded and then talked to Old Sir Jiang about leaving the next day. They had stayed in Xu City for a bit too long and should have returned earlier.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a wasted trip; they found Jiang Yun’s child. Even though the Jiang Family lost a Jiang Mingzhu, they gained a Jiang Li.
Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang both hoped Cheng Li would excel beyond Jiang Mingzhu. As for Jiang Xue, she was truly a genius, and neither Jiang Li nor Jiang Mingzhu could compare with her.
What a pity, such an excellent person was not of the Jiang Family’s bloodline, it was really a sha.
After dinner, Cheng Li went to bed early because they were returning to South City the next day. She needed to be well-rested to avoid any mishaps.
