There they were, having bought a few pieces of clothing suitable for Jiang Xue at a won’s clothing store, planning to look at other stores.
Unexpectedly, just as they stepped out of the store, a woman blocked their way.
Looking at the woman blocking the way, Jiang Xue’s expression was sowhat unpleasant, and Mu Qiancheng exuded a cold deanor. He had noticed this woman secretly observing Jiang Xue in the store but didn’t pay attention since she did nothing.
But now, not only did this woman follow them out, she also blocked their path. What did she want to do?
"Ma’am, can I help you?" Mu Qiancheng looked at An Ru, asking coldly. He didn’t know An Ru, and he didn’t like how An Gu was looking at Jiang Xue.
An Ru ignored Mu Qiancheng and instead looked at Jiang Xue, asking, "Excuse , are you Jiang Xue?"
At this question, both Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng frowned. They didn’t know An Ru, so they asked, "Who are you? It seems we don’t know you, right?"
"Jiang Xue, I am An Ru," An Ru smiled and said. She had seen Jiang Xue’s photo before and hesitated to recognize her at first. Later, the more she looked, the more Jiang Xue resembled the person in the photo she had seen, so she tried to follow them out.
"An Ru?" Jiang Xue softly repeated the na, then, thinking of sothing, asked, "Are you from the Jiang Family?"
Upon hearing this, An Ru laughed and said, "Yes, I am the third wife of the Jiang Family, also your third aunt."
"Mrs. Jiang, that’s not true. I am myself and have nothing to do with the Jiang Family. Previously, Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang already confird that Cheng Li is the real mber of your Jiang Family," Jiang Xue said seriously. Even if she was indeed a mber of the Jiang Family, she wouldn’t admit it.
Because she had no affection for the Jiang Family mbers, whether they were the elderly couple or others from the Jiang Family.
"Jiang Xue, I’m sorry!" An Ru was stunned, then apologized to Jiang Xue. Everyone in the Jiang Family knew Cheng Li was an imposter. While the real eldest daughter of the Jiang Family had not been found, An Ru felt that Jiang Xue should be from the Jiang Family.
As for why the elders made a mistake back then, she didn’t know. However, when she saw Jiang Xue, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if they were family.
This was a feeling she never had with Jiang Mingzhu. So even if Jiang Xue wasn’t from the Jiang Family, she didn’t mind. She could make friends with Jiang Xue, and even recognizing Jiang Xue as a goddaughter wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Of course, today being their first eting, she wouldn’t rashly propose such an idea and planned to take things slowly, step by step.
Jiang Xue was unaware of An Ru’s intentions. Hearing An Ru’s apology, Jiang Xue felt a bit uncomfortable and said, "Mrs. Jiang, you are too kind, but you really have mistaken for soone else."
"Yes, it’s my mistake. However, I feel a connection with Miss Jiang on first eting. Would it be possible to beco friends?" An Ru asked with a smile, feeling anxious inside, though her expression didn’t show it.
"If it’s unrelated to the Jiang Family, then there’s no problem," Jiang Xue replied with a smile. She also had a good impression of An Ru. To say the least, An Ru’s deanor showed she was a well-cultured person.
So, she made it clear upfront that friendship was possible, provided it didn’t involve the Jiang Family.
An Ru was clever, understanding Jiang Xue’s displeasure with the Jiang Family, so she naturally wouldn’t bring it up. She laughed and said, "No problem, just between us."
Honestly, she was very happy at that mont. Jiang Xue being willing to befriend her was just wonderful.
