"Why?"
Chiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "I think my dad knows his own mind. If he truly likes her, he wonât need my persuasion to marry her. If I have to talk him into it, it shows he doesnât really care for her."
After speaking, Chiang Xiao stood up, "Aunt, since my dadâs not here, Iâll head back. My teacherâs given me homework, and I need to do some drawing."
She had a rough idea of what Ying Qiong was hinting at.
Ying Qiong wasnât aware that sheâd already heard from Chen Baoshen about Lu Shuangshuang, so she kept probing.
It seemed that Ying Qiong held Lu Shuangshuang in high regard.
Chiang Xiao was somewhat curious about Lu Shuangshuang.
What kind of woman waits for a man for twenty years? Especially when he was missing and presumed dead, and everyone thought there was little hope in finding him?
However, unless Ah Liu mentioned Lu Shuangshuang first, Chiang Xiao definitely wouldnât try to find out about her herself.
"Little, letâs have dinner together tonight, your dadâs already been informed."
Seeing that Chiang Xiao didnât want to continue the topic, Ying Qiong skillfully changed the subject.
"No, if my dadâs dining with you, Iâll go meet some friends. I need my own space too, aunt, donât you agree?"
She stuck out her tongue playfully and dashed out.
Ying Qiong wasnât angry; she just shook her head with a smile.
Itâs quite normal for young people not to want to dine with the older crowd.
Chiang Xiao left the hospital and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to exit the hospital gates, she noticed someone familiar was grabbing a womanâs arm, and they seemed to be arguing.
Since they were in her path, Chiang Xiao took a closer look.
Du Jinruo.
And the man holding Du Jinruoâs arm was Gao Wei.
Chiang Xiao was momentarily speechless.
She hadnât run into these two in ages, and now here they were.
Moreover, Gao Wei is really persistent, having pursued Du Jinruo for so many years and still hasnât given up.
Frankly, Chiang Xiao didnât quite understand what was going on in Du Jinruoâs mind. Sheâs not that young anymore, yet sheâs still tangled up with these men.
Chiang Xiao didnât want to confront them and was about to take a detour when both Du Jinruo and Gao Wei spotted her.
Gao Wei shouted immediately.
"Hey! Chiang Xiao!"
Chiang Xiao didnât stop and kept walking.
But Du Jinruoâs voice rang out as well, "Chiang Xiao, wait a moment!"
Whatâs this about?
These two both have something to say to her?
But even if they did, it didnât mean she had to stop and listen.
Chiang Xiao didnât turn around.
"Damn, whatâs your deal? Iâm calling you!" Gao Wei quickly ran up to and blocked her path.
He gave her a once-over.
Heâd heard that Meng Xinianâs little fiancĂ©e was getting prettier as she grew up, and it seemed true.
"Move aside," Chiang Xiao frowned.
"Whatâs the problem, Chiang Xiao? We might not be close, but you can spare a few words, right? I have something to discuss with you."
"Iâm not interested in talking to you."
Chiang Xiao was a bit annoyed. This was the Alliance District Hospital, heavily guarded, so if she started a fight, sheâd likely be stopped before it got anywhere.
Her family was at this hospital, so she didnât want to embarrass herself.
"You donât need to be interested." Gao Wei shrugged and glanced toward Du Jinruo, "Xiao Ruo, come on, tell Chiang Xiao what you want."
