Chiang Xiaoâs phone call ended with just that one sentence.
Old Master Jiang and Jiang Shiheng were both startled when they heard it.
They had just been saying they couldnât let her come over at this time, and then she said she was coming?
"That wonât do, Sun Han, you go call her again and tell her not to come for now, her courtyard hasnât been tidied up yet, if she comes thereâll be nowhere for her to stay!"
Old Master Jiang said anxiously.
Pft.
Sun Han and Jiang Shiheng were both a bit speechless when they heard that.
Old Master, with the Jiang Familyâs gardens this huge and so many guest courtyards, of all excuses you could use you say thereâs nowhere for her to stay?
Isnât this basically telling Chiang Xiao to her face that we donât welcome you here?
After Old Master Jiang finished speaking, he also felt this excuse wasnât very credible, and couldnât help looking a bit embarrassed as he turned to Sixth Young Master Jiang. "Xiao Sixth, why donât you talk to her yourself."
Anyway, for Chiang Xiaoâs personal safety, coming to D City at a time like this really wasnât a good idea.
Sun Han said, "Actually, Xiao Chiang said that no matter what you all say, sheâs going to come over anyway, but she wonât let anyone find out."
Sheâs coming no matter what happens...
Jiang Shiheng let out a light sigh.
This daughter of his clearly couldnât stop worrying about him; no matter what, she had to come see him with her own eyes before she could be at ease.
"Then, the people Grandpa gave me, we can start using them now, right?"
Since Chiang Xiao insisted on coming, they had to make some preparations on their side.
Besides, he also had a plan that needed to start being carried out.
Lu Shuangshuang had gone to the island on a date with Sixth Young Master Jiang and ended up running into a kidnapping. By the next day, the news had spread all over D City.
On the streets and in the teahouses, eateries, and taverns, everyone was saying that Sixth Young Master Jiang was so scared he took the bodyguards and ran, which was why Miss Lu ended up in the hands of the kidnappers alone.
They even said Old Master Lu flew into such a rage he fainted.
And he was even rushed overnight to a foreign-funded hospital, instead of staying at the Jiang Familyâs hospital.
This practically confirmed the version in the rumorsâthat Sixth Young Master Jiang really had abandoned Miss Lu and run for his own life.
In just one day, Sixth Young Master Jiangâs image plummeted.
"In my opinion, the better-looking a man is, the less you can count on him!"
"Exactly, looks good but useless."
"Miss Lu waited twenty years for Sixth Young Master, and whoâd have thought as soon as he came back this would happen. Who knows how heartbroken she must be right now."
"Youâre absolutely right. When youâre looking for a man, whatâs the use of being good-looking? You still have to find someone like usâmight not look like much, but at a glance you can tell weâre honest and reliable."
"Hahaha, get lost. Lee Laosan, youâre just seizing the chance to brag about yourself."
Chiang Xiao sat alone in a corner of a teahouse, listening to these words pouring into her ears, and couldnât help tightening her grip on her cup.
Yes, after she hung up last night, there was no way she could sit still; of course she came over right away.
Fortunately, with that transfer point in the middle, she used the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram from that small town to arrive at the seaside cottage she had previously gotten from Cheng Cheng. Although she was still a bit tired and dizzy, she didnât pass out, and she immediately drank some Spirit Spring Water and recovered.
That cottage had already been cleaned spotlessly by Guan Tiezhu. There was also a wooden bed inside, no matting on it, but the boards had been wiped until they were spotless.
However, she didnât end up using it. She went straight into the Space to sleep for the night, and got up when the sky was just beginning to lighten.
The wooden house was locked from the outside, but that wasnât a problem for her.
All she had to do was throw one half of the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram out the window, then open the other half, and she could appear outside.
