âOkay.â Lu Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. He guessed that since Jiang Yao had changed the topic, it meant that she was not angry at him any longer.
Well, she should not be mad anymore. If she was still angry, why would she talk to him?
âWhen are you going to book your plane ticket? Iâll free up my schedule to pick you up at the airport.â That was his last test to see if Jiang Yao was still angry.
âIâll tell you after Iâve booked it. If you are not free, you donât have to fetch me. I donât mind taking a bus from Jindo,â Jiang Yao said. âItâs almost the New Year. There shouldnât be a last-minute mission, right? Iâll cry if you leave me alone during the New Year.â
The army had played that trick on her during the National Day. If the same thing were to happen again during the New Year, Jiang Yao swore that she would scratch Lu Xingzhi to death.
âI donât think so.â Lu Xingzhi smiled; he felt guilty. The army knew that his wife would be with him during the New Year, so they would repeat what had happened during National Day. Even if there were an urgent mission, the army would not send him on it. Furthermore, he would probably be transferred to another unit after the New Year.
âThatâs good.â Jiang Yao saw Yang Gaoshu and Jiang Lei pushed and shoved each other, so she decided to hang up the phone as she was anxious about that. âI still have something to do here. Iâll call you later. Iâll hang up first.â
She was about to walk over to Yang Gaoshu and Jiang Lei when she heard Yang Gaoshu yelling at her brother.
âWhat does your sister mean? I only went into Wang Xianâs room; do you have to stare at me like that? Are you afraid that Iâll take something from Wang Xian?â Yang Gaoshu got more aggrieved as she spoke. Then, she immediately burst into tears. âI think the pair of gold earrings on Wang Xianâs ears are beautiful! Jiang Lei, didnât you say that youâll buy me earrings? Fine, then buy me a pair thatâs the same as Wang Xianâs!â
âYang Gaoshu! Youâve been bugging me all day! My sister has only been back for less than two days, and youâve only met her this morning. How many times have you mentioned that? Yaoyao bought those earrings; where would I get you the same pair? I only earn 100 bucks per month! How much money would I have to buy you clothes and food? If you want gold earrings, then donât buy clothes for two months!â
Jiang Lei was furious. Yang Gaoshu had been sulking at him for so long and then dragged him there just to complain.
How did he not realize that Yang Gaoshu was a troublemaker?
âSecond Brother!â Jiang Yao walked toward them when she heard that. Yang Gaoshu wanted to complain, right? Well, Yang Gaoshu was not the only one with a sharp mouth.
âYang Gaoshu, what do you want to ask me? Then Iâll tell you clearly today that I donât like you!â Jiang Yao raised her chin arrogantly. âDo you know what I donât like about you? I donât like how you look at me like you want money and benefits from me. I donât like how you went into Sister-in-lawâs room and asked her to show you the gifts I gave her. I hate it when you demand things from her when you are alone with her. You even want the gift that I had given her. Yang Gaoshu, you are shameless and greedy! Do you understand now?â
