Chapter 45 Even God is helping
It is not easy for two people of such different identities and ages to speak to each other at the same banquet.

Jiang Ning didn't need to talk more with this business tycoon without a sense of boundaries. She found an excuse and left the terrace. He took the initiative to avoid the banquet and find a quiet place to rest, which meant that he didn't want to be disturbed. Even a fool could understand this, not to mention that Jiang Ning's emotional intelligence was not low.

Since the task assigned by her mommy has been completed, she left on her own initiative, which would leave a good impression of being tactful.

Jiang Ning returned to the banquet hall and continued to sit down, holding her chin and waiting for the banquet to end. She would tell her grandmother later and then she could leave.

However, after a few casual conversations, Jiang Ning inexplicably felt very close to this uncle-like person, especially when Jiang Zhengfeng was praised as a "good father", the polite mask was instantly taken off and a smile appeared on his face.

This is actually very true.

Jiang Ning was a little emotional, holding her chin, and was distracted.

As a philosophy teacher, she has read too many books that deconstruct "human beings" and she always talks eloquently when lecturing her students. But at this moment, she thinks that as everyone grows older and their circumstances change, their identities in society are also constantly changing, and it seems that no one can be consistently excellent.

When someone is a student, he may be an excellent student, and when he grows up, he may be considered a sensible son.

But when he becomes the boss's employee, the wife's husband, or the mother's friend... No, cross this out, it should be the mother's daughter.

It’s impossible to cover everything.

Jiang Zhengfeng is considered a top-notch entrepreneur, but he is also troubled by the fact that he cannot be a good father.

Jiang Ning thought silently, what about herself?
She is considered a good and obedient daughter to her mother, a good sister to Yaoyao, and her students like her as a teacher. However... the only identity she has not done well is that of a girlfriend.

She has only been the girlfriend of one person, but unfortunately, she left a bad impression. The word "incompetent" should be added before the word "girlfriend".

Jiang Ning lowered her eyebrows, closed her eyes, and pursed her lips.

There is no chance for redress.

……

3pm.

The banquet finally ended. Jiang Ning said goodbye to all her relatives and friends, and almost immediately went home to pick up her luggage and headed straight to the airport.

She really wanted to return to Lanjing as soon as possible.

My sister must miss her so much!
The road to the airport is straight and wide, driving from the urban area of ​​Mingzhu City to the suburbs. The trees on both sides are rapidly receding, the scenery outside the window flashes by, and the end of the road is connected with the skyline.

There was no traffic congestion in the suburbs. The driver stepped on the accelerator and ran over the withered leaves on the road with a "swish".

Jiang Ning sat in the back seat and hummed a few lines along with the car's audio system. She checked the bag on her left hand side, which was filled with many Qianrenfang pastries.

This was bought by Jiang Ning specially for Jiang Yao because her sister likes sweets.

When she thought of herself returning home and putting such a big bag of cakes in front of this greedy little face, Jiang Yao's eyes would light up, and she would hug her and say coquettishly, "Sister is so nice, I love you the most", and then she would not be able to wait to open it and put it into her mouth with a happy look on her face.

Thinking of that scene, Jiang Ning's lips curled up.

My mood also became cheerful.

Compared to the home in Mingzhu City where they had lived for many years, the two sisters actually felt that the small house they rented in Lanjing was not as warm.

Close to the airport.

Jiang Ning was playing with her hair on her forehead, twisting it around her fingers, but the phone in her pocket rang unexpectedly.

"Om-"

"Om-"

She took out her cell phone from her pocket and saw that it was the "little greedy ghost" calling.

"Hey, are you rushing me now?"

After answering the call, Jiang Ning joked directly.

But Jiang Yao's next words made her confused.

"Sister, are you coming back this afternoon?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you last night that my flight is at 4 o'clock? I'm already on my way to the airport."

"But……"

"What's wrong? But what?"

"But it's raining heavily here! It's raining really hard!"

Just by listening to Jiang Yao's voice, she could imagine the expression on Jiang Yao's face when he said this. He must have frowned slightly, looking out the window with a look of fear on his face.

"What the hell is this sudden rainstorm?"

It was a sunny day in Mingzhu City, without even a slightly stronger wind. Jiang Ning had never thought that there would be rain in Lanjing. Isn't it early winter now?
Heavy rain seems to be a phenomenon that only occurs in summer.

"It's true. Let me show you - hua hua hua hua."

Jiang Yao's voice faded away, and then the crackling and extremely intense sound of rain came through the receiver. Listening to the sound, it seemed as if a white rain curtain had appeared before my eyes.

"Let me check. Wait a minute."

Jiang Ning hung up the phone, picked up her phone and started searching for the weather in Lanjing.

"The Lanjing Meteorological Observatory has issued a yellow rainstorm warning. It is expected that heavy rain will occur from 17:40 to 23:30, with local torrential rain. Some areas may experience heavy precipitation of more than 50 mm. It is expected that Qinan, Qingjiang, Guangling and other areas will experience rain and snow..."

She looked carefully and found that it was news from last night!
In other words, the rain in Lanjing last night has continued until now.

Jiang Ning wanted to slap herself!
She didn't pay any attention to the situation in Lanjing. On a rainy night, wouldn't her sister be scared to death? As a result, she slept so soundly that she didn't even call, but just sent a few messages.

Jiang Ning quickly called back. "Hey, Yaoyao, are you home now? It was raining so hard last night, why didn't you tell me? You're so scared by yourself, I can accompany you on the phone... It's all my fault."

"Wow...I thought about you taking a break."

"Then how did you fall asleep alone?"

"I... called my friend. She came here by taxi, so she wasn't too scared. But sister, the rain today is heavier than last night. Will your flight be delayed?"

Jiang Yao asked tentatively.

"I don't know. I'll go to the airport and ask the staff and get back to you."

"Okay, remember to tell me, sister."

"do not worry!"

……

"What!? The flight is delayed? I have to wait until at least six o'clock?? I may not even be able to fly today? (irritated)"

Jiang Ning arrived at the airport and asked the staff and got this answer.

The staff member looked very apologetic and whispered, "Miss, there is nothing we can do. We received a notification last night that the cold air in the south is advancing eastward and coincides with the extreme weather in the coastal areas. The air pressure changes too much. The runways of several airports have been suspended and it is impossible to fly. This is also for the safety of the passengers."

"What are the chances of recovery at night?"

"I can't answer that for you. I suggest you change your ticket for free."

"..."

Jiang Ning was completely stunned. While she was still in a daze, a lady rushed over from behind and almost knocked her away.

"Can we fly today? I have an emergency!" the lady screamed.

……

"What!? The flight is delayed? There's a possibility that I can't fly? (Excited)." Jiang Yao tried her best to suppress her joy. She bit her lips tightly and pinched her thighs hard, causing her voice to tremble.

"Yaoyao, don't be afraid... Sister will find a way and will definitely go to accompany you today." Jiang Ning said hurriedly, feeling distressed.

"No, no, no, safety is the most important thing, sis...my friend is still at our house right now. If it doesn't work, I'll ask her to accompany me."

Lanjing City.

There was a heavy rain on the streets. There were no pedestrians on the road, only vehicles passing by hurriedly, splashing ripples.

There is a car parked on the side of the road.

In the car, Jiang Yao handed the phone to Xiao Wan who was sitting in the passenger seat and winked at her vigorously.

Xiao Wan looked solemn. He swallowed and took the phone from Jiang Yao.

"Hello, Sister Jiang Ning, I'm Yaoyao's friend...Yes, yes, I'll accompany her tonight."

At the airport, Jiang Ning's frown finally relaxed a little.

If there was no one to accompany her sister, she would be really worried to death!

The kind where you can't sleep at all at night.

"Thank you so much... I guess I won't be able to go back today."

"Sister Jiang Ning, you don't have to be so polite. Yaoyao and I plan to play games together tonight. It's really not safe for you to come back. She's worried too."

"Okay, play however you want. There's a lot of food in the refrigerator, eat as much as you want and treat it like your own home. I'll treat you to a meal when we get back to thank you."

"I see, sister, you are just like what Yaoyao described. You sound very gentle. I really envy having a sister like you."

Xiao Wan chatted for a few minutes and became happier and happier as the conversation went on.

She was commissioned to act out this act, which made Jiang Yao anxious. She glared at her quickly, thinking that if she talked too much, she would be exposed easily!
Jiang Yao snatched the phone back.

"Yeah... I understand, sister. I miss you so much. I'll wait for you to come back. I'll hang up first." Jiang Yao said with fake tears.

After she hung up completely, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was sitting nervously in the driving seat at first, but after hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao hammered the steering wheel hard, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was overjoyed.

Even God is helping her!

"What's the big deal? You look so happy." Xiao Wan looked at her excited expression, very confused and bewildered.

"You do not understand."

"Uh... I don't know why, but I feel like Sister Jiang Ning is so gentle. I feel a little sorry for helping you deceive her."

"Stop! I'll take you back. Look at you, you've become weak just because my sister said something nice to you."

"You're sending me back now? Why don't you treat me to a meal or something? It seems like you're treating me like a protective cover that you want to throw away after you're done with it."

"Look at what you said. Our Xiao Wan is the best. I'll treat you to a meal some other day. You've really helped me a lot!"

Jiang Yao started the engine and the wipers swung back and forth. Her mood at the moment was like a student who got up early for school and suddenly received a holiday notice.

This matter has to start from last night...
