Chapter 153: Meeting the Future Mother-in-Law, Jiang Ruxue is Actually Attracted to Her Son-in-Law (Part )
Somehow, Chen Yuan and the Jiang family seem to have an inescapable fateful bond.
Jiang Ruxue had just raised her vigilance against the two sisters and was planning to come to Lanjing to do something. Coincidentally, Chen Yuan also came to Lanjing to attend the funeral of Commander Jiang Zhengfeng.
He was the center of attention at the funeral.
On the other side, Jiang Ruxue had arrived at Fengting Community.
……
"This environment looks pretty bad. It's quiet, but aren't you afraid of being haunted at night?"
Jiang Ruxue entered the residential area and followed Qin Ting inside, walking slowly as if taking a stroll, looking around.
In fact, Fengting Community is already considered a relatively high-end residential area in Lanjing. It is not far from the city center and is close to the university town. Of course, it cannot be compared with the wealth and prosperity of Mingzhu City.
Listen to her some harsh words.
Qin Ting didn't dare to say anything.
She cleverly avoided the topic and asked with a smile in her eyes: "Mr. Jiang, you haven't eaten yet? Do you want me to arrange dinner for you after I'm done? I know Lan Jing has a special-"
"No, I have other things to do tonight."
"Okay then." Qin Ting smiled awkwardly.
Without saying anything else, he took Jiang Ruxue all the way to the 13th floor, which was the suite where the two sisters lived.
Qin Ting used some tricks to get the key from the property management. She was not afraid that Jiang Ning would find out, so she left her name on it, which she could use to get things and explain herself if she was discovered later.
It’s not like she hasn’t been here before.
"This is it."
"Ah."
Ding--
The crisp sound of the doorbell in the silent corridor was a bit harsh. The door was pushed open, and the room where the two sisters had lived for three years came into Jiang Ruxue's sight.
She walked straight in with the bag in her hand, looking around without hesitation.
I looked all the way from the living room to the balcony, and also scanned the bedrooms and the kitchen.
This behavior is a bit like patrolling the territory.
This is not her territory, but Jiang Ruxue judges everything based on her own subjective and strong preferences, and her picky eyes are full of contempt for cheap things.
Although the whole house was kept in order by Ningning, tidy and warm, and was not filled with all kinds of vain luxury goods, Jiang Ruxue just didn't like it.
What she was most concerned about was whether there were any signs that a man had been here.
If there was, then this would be the worst result that Jiang Ruxue could predict. However, she looked everywhere and found no clues, so she felt relieved.
After a while, she walked to the second bedroom where Yaoyao usually used for live broadcasts.
Jiang Ruxue stroked the piano next to the computer with her fingers, lifted the curtain and stared at it silently for a while.
"Using such a cheap piano, is the money I gave not enough?" she murmured to herself.
Qin Ting didn't hear what was said clearly, but said "ah" in confusion.
Jiang Ruxue ignored him. She clapped her hands and turned around. "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. Return the key and go back by yourself. I have something else to do."
"Am I just going to leave like this?"
"if not?"
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, call me anytime if you need me."
Qin Ting felt inexplicably relieved. She also felt the sense of oppression when she was with Jiang Ruxue. She felt uncomfortable all over. Her gaze was like little needles pricking her.
Taking small steps, Qin Ting hurriedly took the elevator down.
It is worth mentioning that when she was going downstairs, she happened to meet Jiang Ruxue's assistant who walked in.
As they passed each other, both of them just nodded lightly.
When the assistant stepped into the room, Jiang Ruxue was staring at the photos on the display stand on the right side of the living room. She stretched out her hand slightly as if to touch the photo frame, and in the photo, two sisters were hugging each other and smiling happily.
Footsteps are heard.
Jiang Ruxue withdrew her hand without leaving a trace.
"Have you found a good person?"
"Okay, you can come over later."
"Don't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. The person I found is very professional and there will be no mistakes."
"How long will it take? I don't have the patience to wait."
"It should be... within half an hour."
Jiang Ruxue nodded and waved to her assistant to wait on the side. She then walked to the window and stared at the night outside.
Her two daughters are not young anymore. Some of their peers are even mothers of two children. Other young people in the Jiang family did not get married so late.
But Jiang Ruxue always felt that Ningning and Yaoyao had never really grown up.
So she was very worried. What if she was cheated by a man with ulterior motives?
What Jiang Ruxue hated most in her life was smooth-talking men, but this kind of men were most popular with women who were inexperienced in the ways of the world. She was shocked to think that her two daughters might be deceived into falling in love with her.
She couldn't stop feeling nauseous.
……
Half an hour later.
"This camera won't be disturbed by light, right?"
"Don't worry, Miss, I won't do that!"
The man in the baseball cap was holding a laptop and debugging something. He answered Jiang Ruxue's question with confidence.
"Install one in the living room and put it behind this shelf." Jiang Ruxue picked up the black camera the size of a bottle cap and looked at it carefully.
"It's easy to be discovered if it's placed there. I can cut the piggy bank in half, put the camera in it, and place it at a higher place so that I can see the whole living room through the gap."
This sneaky man was indeed professional. After picking up the ceramic jar, he did not forget to smooth the dust underneath with his sleeve.
To prevent others from discovering that things have been moved.
"can."
"Do we need to install the second bedroom?"
"If you install it, where do you plan to install it?" Jiang Ruxue asked.
"It can be placed between the computer graphics card and the CPU. It cannot be seen unless it is disassembled. In this way, apart from not being able to see the content on the computer, the activities of people in most of the second bedroom can be clearly seen."
"Not bad!" Jiang Ruxue curled up the corners of her lips into a smile.
Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao were determined to return to Lanjing. She couldn't stop them, but she could use cameras to track their every move so that she could protect them.
"I'm going to turn off the light now to see if there's any reflection. Reflections from lenses can make them easy to be seen."
After obtaining Jiang Ruxue's consent.
The man turned off the lights in the living room, leaving only a faint glow from the laptop on the coffee table.
Jiang Ruxue and her assistant sat on the sofa in the dim light, watching this man busying around.
The living room was shrouded in a vague darkness. The three people looked like wandering ghosts, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
……
In the brightly lit villa in the western city of Lanjing.
There was a constant stream of guests coming and going, and there were still students who came from thousands of miles away to see the old man off.
Chen Yuan sat with the boss of Bauhinia Investment Company from last time and listened to him introduce the identities of the people around him.
Not much time.
Jiang Zhengfeng, who had disappeared for a moment, came back.
"Almost done, Xiao Yuan, if you feel tired staying here, I can ask the driver to take you to dinner first."
"What about you, Dad?"
"I have to accompany the socializing."
"That's fine." Chen Yuan nodded. He was really bored staying here.
Just now, the family members of the deceased came over to express their gratitude, and he was flattered by their enthusiasm. In addition, a bunch of people whose names he couldn't remember came over to shake hands, and their warm attitude gave Chen Yuan goose bumps.
"Mr. Jiang, take care." Pei Youwen stood up to see him off. Chen Yuan nodded and walked out of the funeral alone. The driver was already waiting outside... After getting in the car, he felt relaxed in the enclosed space.
"call……"
"Xiao Yuan, shall I take you to the hotel to change clothes first? Then we can go eat?"
The driver, who was in his fifties, turned around and asked.
"Oh, yes, I still need to change clothes," Chen Yuan took out his cell phone and unbuttoned his formal suit. "Forget it, take me to Fengting Community to change clothes. The down jacket I wear from home is too thick."
"Okay."
The driver nodded.
Four hundred kilometers apart, Qishui County is obviously much colder than Lanjing. When he came here, he was wrapped up like a polar bear, and when he returned to the hotel, he always felt bloated in that outfit.
Chen Yuan took out his cell phone and sent a message to Ningning.
At noon, he said he was coming to Lanjing. Ningning was very surprised. After knowing the reason, she asked him to be careful on the road.
From this afternoon till now, there has been no reply for a long time.
I think it is inconvenient to play with mobile phones while visiting relatives and friends.
Chen Yuan was having fun taking a selfie of himself in the back seat and sent it over. In the photo, he was wearing a black suit with a white handkerchief in his pocket, and somehow had the aura of a nobleman.
……
"arrive."
"Okay, wait for me here, uncle. I'll go change my clothes and come down right away."
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's a little later."
The driver took Chen Yuan to the underground parking lot of Fengting Community. After getting out of the car, he watched Chen Yuan disappear at the door leading to the elevator.
Then the driver turned on the stereo and randomly picked a soothing piece of music.
Waiting silently.
As Jiang Zhengfeng's full-time driver, he has long been accustomed to such waiting countless times, sometimes even sitting in the car for seven or eight hours. Of course, he can't urge his boss, "Why don't you hurry up!", so he can only wait forever, occasionally getting off the car to smoke a cigarette and take a walk.
"Uh huh huh~"
Following the music in the car, the driver shook his head and closed his eyes to enjoy it.
Here.
Before Chen Yuan reached the elevator, he heard a woman's roar from a few steps away. He went over to take a look out of curiosity.
What came into view were two elevators, one of which had its door wide open and the other tightly closed. The down button for both elevators was pressed, and a man and a woman were arguing with their backs against the wall.
"I already told you I don't know that girl!"
"Why did you delete the chat history if you don't know me? Don't think I don't know that you didn't go out on a business trip the night before yesterday! If you don't tell the truth, we are not done today!"
"I'm telling the truth!" The man, who looked young, spread his hands, looking extremely annoyed.
next second.
"Snapped--"
The sound of crisp slapping was heard.
The woman, who was still wearing cool and hot winter clothes, glared at the man, and there were several palm marks on his face.
"Why are you saying nonsense to me again!?"
The shrill scolding frightened Chen Yuan who was passing by.
He gritted his teeth and waited for the elevator, his eyes glancing at the couple inconspicuously.
In comparison, even the straightforward Jiang Yao looks so gentle and cute... This sister is too violent!
There was suddenly one more person waiting for the elevator. The man who was slapped saw it. He glanced at Chen Yuan, took a deep breath and said to his girlfriend, "If we want to quarrel, let's go home, okay?"
"Why go home and argue? I'm going to argue here! Don't you think it's embarrassing to be a ladybug and let others see you arguing?!"
"When the hell did I go whoring???"
So exciting...
It is human nature to watch the fun. Chen Yuan was so impressed by the explosive content of the quarrel that he was reluctant to leave.
But the elevator had already fallen from a great height, and it slowly opened with a ding.
The couple was still clattering on the buttons of the other elevator. It looked like their argument had reached a fever pitch and if they didn't leave they might even be affected.
After hearing the last sentence "I'll call your mother now", Chen Yuan finally couldn't help but curl his lips, and his cheek gradually disappeared in the gap of the elevator door.
He was so happy that he sent a message to Jiang Ning to share what he had just seen.
All the way to the 13th floor.
He turned around, unlocked the door with his face, and returned home.
Just a door apart.
Chen Yuan didn't know that there was actually someone in the closed room opposite...
……
"Da da da--"
The ice cubes were shaking in the glass. Chen Yuan took out the ice cola from the refrigerator, poured it into the glass, drank it in one gulp, and immediately felt a refreshing feeling in his mouth and throat.
He sighed with relief.
After two days of walking, the small rented house in Lanjing was still clean.
He went to the bedroom, took off his suit, put on a sweater and a down jacket, and adjusted his hat in front of the mirror. He wanted to change his shoes out of habit, but thought about going downstairs later.
So I gave up.
After changing his clothes, Chen Yuan took the Coke cup and prepared to put it on the coffee table.
The moment he put the cup down, an ornament caught his attention.
The kissable doll that was originally bought by Jiang Yao and placed on the table was now sitting quietly on the coffee table with a small note underneath.
Chen Yuan picked it up and took a look.
"I'm back to Mingzhu City, young master. I look forward to seeing you again."
He looked at the small note silently, and the scene of Jiang Yao holding a suitcase and preparing to leave home emerged in his mind. She was ready to go out, and suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went to find a pen, tore up the paper, and pressed it down with a doll, and then wrote down this line of words stroke by stroke.
Finally, she must have clapped her hands and stood up with satisfaction.
Then he left in small steps.
Chen Yuan felt a lot of warmth in his heart, and for a moment he was a little dazed.
He really has a very lovely girlfriend...
A smile appeared unconsciously on Chen Yuan's lips. He put the note away carefully, turned off the lights in the living room, and walked out of the door neatly.
The voice-controlled light outside the door turned on, and bright white light poured down.
Chen Yuan was in a very good mood and couldn't help humming a song. He walked to the elevator waiting area and pressed the button, then lowered his head to play with his mobile phone. He was a little hungry after being busy all afternoon.
We should go eat later...
"Ding--"
The door next door slowly opened.
The dull and pleasant sound of high heels echoed in the corridor, neither slow nor long...
It was like the light prelude of a wonderful piece of music, gradually becoming clearer and clearer from far away until it reached the corner of the elevator, but the door was already closed.
Chen Yuan didn't notice the sound, he was watching short videos.
But the elevator did not slowly descend, but stopped for a few seconds and then opened again.
A gust of fresh breeze rushed into the enclosed space.
Chen Yuan raised his face in confusion.
A graceful figure appeared in front of her, and she also noticed the man in the elevator.
The two looked at each other.
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment!
Because the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in front of him made him feel that she looked very similar to Jiang Ning.
