"Are you done talking?" Jiang Xue smiled at Shangguan Wenbin. He had been talking for almost half an hour.
Honestly, she never thought she needed to please anyone, but the reason she got along with Shangguan Wenbin was twofold. First, she really wanted a brother. In her past life, she was always alone, even with Cheng Li beside her, who felt like a sister, but wasn’t really one.
She always wanted a real family mber, one connected by blood. In this life, she found it, and the fact that he had a good temperant and personality made her treasure it all the more.
Second, Shangguan Wenbin was soone worth befriending. Even if he wasn’t family, his sunny nature and generosity made him a boy who brought warmth to others, and thus worth her friendship.
"I’m done!" Shangguan Wenbin took a sip of water and then looked at Jiang Xue, asking, "Sis, I just said so much, did you rember it all?"
Jiang Xue smiled nonchalantly. Shangguan Wenbin imdiately beca anxious and said, "Sis, you didn’t take in what I said, did you?"
Jiang Xue didn’t want to argue on this topic, so she said, "Wenbin, it’s getting late, I have to go back."
"Sis!" Shangguan Wenbin wanted to say more, but Jiang Xue was already standing up, ready to leave.
Shangguan Wenbin had no choice but to stand up and accompany her out of the teahouse. Once outside, he suddenly rembered sothing he hadn’t told her yet, so he said, "Sis, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you."
Jiang Xue stopped in her tracks, looking at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
"Sis, it’s like this, I ordered a car for you, based on the ti it should arrive in the next couple of days."
"What did you say?" Jiang Xue was stunned, looking at Shangguan Wenbin. He actually ordered a car for her. Of course, that’s not the main point; the main point was he didn’t discuss it with her and acted on his own.
"Sis, don’t be mad!" Shangguan Wenbin saw Jiang Xue’s expression change and quickly said, "It’s like this, I noticed the car models here weren’t that great, so I asked a friend to get one from Beijing."
"You!" Jiang Xue was at a loss for words, lightly tapping Wenbin’s forehead with her finger, she said, "Tell how much it cost later, and I’ll pay you."
The car was already ordered, returning it wasn’t feasible. And she did need it, so she accepted. She just didn’t like others making decisions on her behalf, so she seriously told Shangguan Wenbin, "Just this once!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Wenbin saw Jiang Xue wasn’t angry and was instantly delighted. The reason he didn’t tell her was to give her a surprise.
However, he also knew Jiang Xue’s personality, so after thinking it over, he decided it was better to give her a heads-up. If she got angry, that would be troubleso.
Sure enough, he hadn’t made a mistake. As for Jiang Xue ntioning paying, that was a small matter. He had enough money, and gifting a car to Jiang Xue was no big deal.
Moreover, he was Jiang Xue’s brother, giving her a car wasn’t sothing that others would question.
After Jiang Xue parted ways with Shangguan Wenbin, she went straight ho. During dinner, she told everyone that Shangguan Wenbin’s grandmother would be visiting their ho the next day.
The elderly mbers of the family had a good impression of Shangguan Wenbin, so naturally, they welcod the news of his grandmother wanting to visit. Thus, the next day when Jiang Xue went out to buy groceries, Mrs. Jiang accompanied her.
