Jiang Xianrou was younger and more impatient. She was impatient to hear her father and grandfather discuss the political situation in Beijing, and she didnât like green tea or anything that older people liked to drink. In
less than half an hour, she kept looking at the time on her phone. Clearly, she couldnât sit still. She didnât want to chat with the old people but couldnât say that she wanted to leave.
Tang Wanru noticed her restlessness and raised her eyebrows. She pretended to say casually, âXianrou, didnât you say you were going to school later? Is something the matter?â
â.,.â Jiang Xianrou suddenly raised her head and met her calm eyes. She immediately understood what she meant and was about to find an excuse to escape.
Unexpectedly, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Jiang Xianrou felt a headache coming on. She frowned and stood up to pick up the call. Using her hand to block the receiver, she lowered her voice and said, âUncle Zhou, didnât I tell you before that
I havenât seen Master Wang yet? Iâll only have the chance to mention Zhou Weiâs matter to him when I see him.â
âIâm not calling for this matter.â
âThenâ¦â
âIs Old Master Jiang at home?â
Her grandfather?
Jiang Xianrou frowned and turned to look at her parents and grandfather. âHeâs at home.â
âThatâs good. Help me tell Old Master Jiang that Iâm coming over to visit him.â
âZhouâ¦â Jiang Xianrou was about to ask him what was the matter when the call was already hung up. She listened to the busy tone on the other end of the line and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
Then, she walked back to her seat in deep thought.
Coincidentally, a servant brought over exquisite refreshments.
Tang Wanru picked up a soft and delicious Matcha dessert to comfort her. Seeing her return from the corner of her eye, she asked casually, âXianrou, who called you? You even went to the side to pick it up.â
Jiang Xianrou pulled open the seat with one hand and said in frustration, âUncle Zhou Hengfeng.â
The Zhou family could only be considered a low-class family in Beijing, but Zhou Hengfeng was someone many families wanted to rope in. Furthermore, he had always had a good relationship with their family. Hearing
that it was a call from Zhou Hengfeng, Tang Wanru placed the desserts she had picked up back down and looked at her in confusion. âHim? Why is he looking for you?â
âItâs probably because of Zhou Wei.â Jiang Xianrou was not sure herself. âWasnât she chased out by the Ninth Branch previously? When he heard that I had a good relationship with Master Wang, he asked me to help
plead on Zhou Weiâs behalf.â
Speaking of this, she smiled slightly and remained proud. Her eyes were filled with arrogance. âMom, you know as well that Iâm the only one in their little circle who can speak up. No one else can even enter, let alone
help Zhou Wei plead. He probably can only look for me for help.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tang Wanru naturally knew that she played well with Qin Si, Ye Wangchuan, and the others. They were all the top youths in Beijing. Since Jiang Xianrou could play well with them, she felt proud and never stopped her.
Hearing her explanation, she roughly understood what was going on. She didnât say much and only reminded Jiang Xianrou calmly, âItâs best if they resolve their own matters. Donât worry too much about othersâ
matters, lest Young Master Qin thinks youâre too troublesome.â
âI know.â Jiang Xianrou nodded and took her words to heart. She didnât say that she had looked for Qin Si, that he hadnât given her face at all, and that she was not that close to Ye Wangchuan..
