Chapter 269: 188 Jiang Family’s Little Tsundere, This Ghost is Hidden Too Deeply_2

“I’m telling the truth, do you still want to hit me?” Xie Tongtong said as she hid behind Shen Zhixian, “Auntie, he wishes you two would just break up, otherwise he’ll have to be sworn brothers with Jiangjiang, haha…”

“You still dare to say that!” Xie Duo frowned.

He thought about it carefully, calling Jiang Yanting uncle was no problem, but suddenly becoming sworn brothers with that immature boy from the Jiang Family was even harder for him to accept.

That kid was quite arrogant!

“Xianxian, dating Jiang Yanting, if it really works out, it would be good, but in Beijing, this place with a lot of people and eyes, gossip is too much, especially since you’ve just met, you should be more cautious,” Du Jinglan warned.

Shen Zhixian naturally knew what she meant, which was basically about moving in together right after meeting and causing disapproval.

After all, it was for her own good.

But as Du Jinglan spoke, Senior Xie just huffed, “Be cautious about what?”

“Now if it’s time to talk about marriage, if they don’t get to know each other better, how will they know if this person is truly suitable?”

“Don’t say that nothing happened between them, even if there was something, what does it have to do with others? If you live everyday caring about others’ opinions, what joy is there in life!”

“Dad, I just mentioned it casually, why are you getting worked up, have some tea,” Du Jinglan said with a smile as she handed him a cup of tea.

“But I also want to see, even if the two of them cohabitate before marriage, who dares to talk nonsense, what does it have to do with them? These days, some people can’t even clean up their own mess, yet they always want to stand on top of others and point fingers, it’s absurd!” the old man took the tea and snorted coldly.

…

Shen Zhixian was just about to say something when her phone vibrated, a strange number, she usually got calls from unknown numbers at work, “I’ll step out to take a call.”

She stood up and went outside, pressing the answer button, “Hello—”

No response.

“Hello?” Shen Zhixian frowned, it couldn’t have been a wrong number.

“Hello—” A timid child’s voice came from the other end.

“Jiangjiang?”

She said the name, and the Xie Family’s eyes focused on her, staring at her silhouette, expressions varied.

“I don’t know how the call reached you, maybe it was dialed by mistake, so I’m going to hang up!” Jiangjiang said, ready to end the call.

“Don’t hang up, can we talk for a while, okay?” Such an arrogant temper, really, who did he inherit it from, calling and then saying it was a mistake?

“I’m very busy.”

Shen Zhixian couldn’t help but laugh, “I know, just five minutes, okay? I miss you, I want to talk for a bit, alright?”

“If that’s the case, then I’ll reluctantly chat with you briefly.” Jiangjiang said, his heart already blooming with joy, clutching his phone, rolling around on the bed…

Shen Zhixian glanced at the Xie Family with the corner of her eye, having been back for so long, honestly, she couldn’t see any hint of difference.

This cunning one, really good at hiding.

After Jiangjiang hung up the call, he bounced a couple more times on the bed.

Hearing a car outside, he bounced to the window to check, seeing Tang Yunxian’s car, he didn’t feel much, but suddenly, something caught his eye, and he immediately lit up, dragging his slippers, and rushed downstairs in a hurry.

Right as he reached upstairs, he heard a loud and high-pitched bird call.

“Ah, my little darling!” Elder Tang had already come out from the bedroom with his cane, having just recovered from a severe illness, apart from meal times, he mostly lay in bed.

Hearing the familiar bird call, he hurriedly came out from the room.

Seeing its owner, Hua Mei called out even more loudly and excitedly, flapping its wings, trying to burst out of the cage.

“Oh—this is the Hua Mei you’ve been raising, right?” the old lady also walked out from the house.

“Come, let me see it.” Elder Tang took the birdcage from Tang Yunxian’s hand, his eyes unconsciously watering.

Keeping a bird was the same as keeping a cat or dog, over time, the affection deepened, Elder Tang’s fingers trembled with excitement.

“You’ve always said you missed it, right? I was driving back anyway, had no luggage, so I brought it along,” Tang Yunxian explained.
