Chapter 1351: Chapter 1352: Going to Find Jiang Chenyue
“I understand.”
She dared not say more, fearing Chu Xi would grow impatient. Reluctantly, she whispered softly, “Then, goodnight, Xixi. Get some rest early. Don't tire yourself out.”
Chu Xi hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up, she irritably tossed the phone onto the bed, walked to the luxurious floor-length mirror, and admired her beautiful figure, fiddling with the valuable necklace around her neck.
She really couldn't comprehend how there could be women so inept with words, lacking any perception—she had already shown her impatience, yet the woman kept going on and on. If she hadn't hung up, she probably would have been dragged into chatting all night.
What era was it now? Who still wore knitted sweaters underneath for warmth?
There are so many high-end fabrics these days that provide warmth even if they're thin, offering comfort and coziness. Only those who can't afford expensive fabrics would resort to such outdated methods…
Suddenly feeling even more irritated, she lost the mood to appreciate her reflection in the mirror and walked back to the bed to ponder how to deal with the next events.
After Qin Jun came back to warn Chu Xi who was about to leave, he went upstairs, passed through the garden corridor, and found Jiang Chenyue clipping flowers in the flower garden.
As he approached, the ground was already scattered with trimmed branches and leaves. Jiang Chenyue was so focused that she didn't even notice when he arrived.
Qin Jun stood quietly aside and watched for ten minutes, then finally called out to her, “Aunt.”
The busy person stopped, turned to look at him, handed the scissors to a servant by her side, and wiped her hands with a towel before saying, “You're back?”
“Yes, I came back to have lunch with you.” He seemed casual as he picked up the scissors Jiang Chenyue had put down, his playful eyes smiling and lips curving slightly, “Why did you suddenly decide to trim the flowers at noon?”
Jiang Chenyue's expression paused, seemingly her mood dampened, she casually said, “It's nothing, I just remembered suddenly and came here. These flowers haven't been taken care of for a while and have grown out of control, so I spent a bit more time.”
She only liked to do gardening when she was upset. This morning's events surprised her so much, and after making a phone call and getting the details from Li Shengxiao, her chest felt even more suffocated, as if it was stuffed with cotton, making her emotions severely congested!
What kind of celebration wine was so potent that one would get 'drunk' without drinking, and then just so happen to wake up the next day to see the woman who shamelessly refused to leave sleeping in her own bed…
Anyone with a brain would need only a moment to realize the methods Chu Xi had used!
She knew all too well that Chu Xi must have tampered with the wine or something on her person, and that's why her emotions felt as if she had been punched, severely clogged!
If Chu Xi were truly her daughter, she genuinely didn't know how to educate her.
Even then, she found that, having looked for her daughter for twenty years and now that she was right before her, she couldn't even bring herself to like her, let alone cherish and make amends.
Jiang Chenyue was in agony.
One side was guilt, and the other was an innate disdain for the petty schemes Chu Xi resorted to.
Perhaps it was her subconscious resistance, so when Qin Jun asked, she didn't want to mention the discovery of the mole she saw that morning.
She didn't bring it up, but Qin Jun did, “When I came back, I heard we had an extra guest at home. Aunt, why did you let her move in? And isn't that the room you use for storage?”
