Chapter 271 The Battle of Two Jiangs
Jiang Ning clipped the bookmark in place and gently closed the page. The plane stopped, the cabin door opened, and passengers began to walk through the aisle one after another, carrying their belongings and wearing
Rushing to the destination in a hurry.

She drew aside the curtain by the window and saw that the night outside was as dark as ink, with a lone lamp casting a shadow on the wing.

I'm almost home.

Jiang Ning took the bag that was placed aside, lifted her hair, and followed the crowd at the end of the aisle. A driver was waiting for her outside the airport. He didn't urge her, but he had already sent several messages.

She has to go to school tomorrow to fill out an application and submit the materials. Now she has to go back home to her room to look for the many certificates of graduation. The process is actually very complicated, but Jiang Ning did not tell Jiang Ruxue about her return.

If I go back now, Jiang Ruxue might be scared.

Jiang Ning deliberately didn't say anything. She carried her suitcase and walked in the brightly lit hall, her slender legs moving. Until now, the resentment in her heart was still hard to calm down, or rather, the closer she got to home, the more intense the resentment became.

……

The small villa by the river was brightly lit, and the heavy door was tilted open. The red lanterns hung during the New Year had not been taken down yet, emitting a hazy red light. There were four lights inside and outside the door, illuminating the luxurious lintel.

When Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao left, the flowers at the entrance of the courtyard had just started to sprout, and in a blink of an eye they grew lush and green.

She stepped into the exquisite little villa and startled the nanny who was cleaning the yard. At first glance, she thought it was Jiang Ruxue who came back, but when she looked closely, she felt that her height was not right, until she walked out of the shadows.

"Oh, miss, why are you back!" the nanny said excitedly.

"I came back to do something." Jiang Ning gave a friendly smile.

The nanny hurriedly took the luggage from her, and the two of them walked into the living room together. She sat down on the sofa, looking left and right but did not see Jiang Ruxue. The coffee table was clean and tidy, and no one had touched it.

Usually, the first thing Jiang Ruxue does when she comes back is to sit here and drink tea, and then go upstairs to do yoga, wash up and rest.

"Isn't my mother home?"

"The madam is very busy. She is still socializing. She asked us to make some soup for her when she comes back. Miss, why don't you drink some to warm your stomach first?"

"No, I have other things to do while I have some tea."

Jiang Ning poured the boiling hot tea into the cup, took out her cell phone, and sent a message to Jiang Yao to inform her that she had arrived home. After a moment's hesitation, she called Chen Yuan again, waiting expectantly and nervously for him to answer the call.

The moment the call was connected, Jiang Ning subconsciously sat up straighter, her voice became softer, and she seemed a little restrained when she spoke. The way she held her little happiness tightly made the nanny look puzzled.

"Okay, that's it, bye..." After hanging up the phone, the smile on Jiang Ning's face did not disappear. She lowered her head to look at the phone screen, pursing her lips.

Suddenly there was a shout from upstairs, and the nanny asked if the clothes needed to be washed. Jiang Ning said no for now, then picked up the cup, drank a sip of tea and went upstairs.

It’s almost twelve o’clock.

Jiang Ruxue, drunk, came back from a social event, carrying her bag, staggering into the living room. The sound of her high heels stepping on the floor was crisp but chaotic. She had heavy makeup on and although she was petite, she had a strong aura in her every move.

As soon as the nanny heard the sound of high heels, she immediately came out from the side room, ran over to put her slippers in place and helped her take off her clothes.

"Is the soup ready? Give me a bowl. My stomach feels so bad."

"It's already been prepared. Madam, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you now."

"Well, let's go."

Jiang Ruxue walked to the coffee table with sleepy eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling with squinted eyes. Her eyes were lifeless at first, but after a few seconds she suddenly realized something, stood up and took a closer look.

She looked at the tea set that had been touched, picked up the cup, sniffed the scent of the tea, and took a sip.

"Ningning is back?" Jiang Ruxue asked with a frown.

"Yes, I also came back in the evening, an hour ago, and now I'm going upstairs to rest." "Why didn't you tell me that you came back? You're becoming more and more unruly." Jiang Ruxue snorted coldly and drank the tea in the cup. Although she said unpleasant things, her feet moved immediately. She stood up and ran upstairs.

The light in Jiang Ning's room was still on. After hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Ruxue rushed in and the two looked at each other.

At this time, Jiang Ning was rummaging through boxes and placed all the information she needed on the bed, covering half of the bed sheet.

"Ningning is back. Are you hungry? Mommy will bring you a bowl of freshly cooked soup." Jiang Ruxue sat on the bed, staring at the documents on the table. "Why didn't you tell mommy so I could send someone to pick you up?"

"No need to answer it," Jiang Ning said without even looking up. "It's very convenient to find a driver. Besides, I don't know if you are at home. Maybe you are busy outside."

"I'm really busy. What are you looking for?"

"Certificate."

"What certificate?"

"Degree certificate, and other documents from when you were studying abroad."

"Is something wrong?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I plan to study for a finance degree and go to school tomorrow."

"Why do you suddenly want to study finance?" Jiang Ruxue narrowed her fox-like eyes and sat closer to her. "It's too troublesome to take the exam after you have a degree. Even if you quit your job and find a similar job, there are many suitable ones. Girls shouldn't compete with men for benefits. It's better to teach."

As soon as she got closer, the strong smell of alcohol came over. Jiang Ning wrinkled her delicate nose, picked up the documents, packed them up and stuffed them into the drawer, deliberately avoiding her.

"If you want to learn, then learn. If you're interested, you didn't let me learn before, but now that I've grown up, I want to make it up to myself."

"Mom is doing this for your own good..."

"Thank you so much," Jiang Ning turned around and gave her a smile. They exchanged glances, neither giving in. For a moment, the atmosphere in the bedroom became cold. "Go and have a rest. I'm busy."

"I finally came back once, I want to stay here and talk with you."

"Oh."

In such a tense atmosphere, Jiang Ruxue could no longer hold back her motherly expression. She quickly withdrew her smile and said calmly, "If you want to study for a finance degree, I have no objection. After all, as you said, you are grown up and can make your own choices. But come back this time and settle the marriage as soon as possible. I can give you some money to let you try out the depths of this industry."

"I don't want blind dates." Jiang Ning refused directly.

"Ningning?" She didn't understand, "How old are you? I'm not rushing you. A woman's best years are these few years. After that, all physical indicators will fall behind. Can't you get married earlier and set an example for Yaoyao, and put my worries to rest as soon as possible?"

"Sure, I will get married," Jiang Ning turned her head and said softly, which made Jiang Ruxue raise her eyebrows, but then she changed the subject, "Wait a few more years, I have already told my boyfriend."

"Huh? What boyfriend?"

The sudden confession made Jiang Ruxue a little confused, and she asked with a frown.

"Don't you know? Qin Ting should have told you that I have a boyfriend. There's no need to pretend like you just found out."

When Jiang Ning came back, she had no intention of giving her a good face and laid out Chen Yuan's affairs, which meant that Ningning had no worries at all.

Jiang Ning was not afraid of her, but because of her sister, she always maintained basic decency.

"That kind of thing is just for fun, it can't be considered serious," Jiang Ruxue said coldly, "You found a country boy, I know for sure, we can just break up later, it won't affect the blind date."

"Don't tease me," Jiang Ning almost burst out laughing, "You like to play, but I don't."
