Chapter 284: Inseparable
"Yes, I made this soup based on nutrition, and added some medicinal herbs that are good for recovery. Miss Huang, drink more. I also made this pig's trotter very soft...try it."
As he spoke, Uncle Jiang took a small bowl, picked up a piece of soft pig's trotter meat with chopsticks, and placed it in front of Huang Xiaoxiao.
Aunt Lan saw that Lao Jiang was personally serving Huang Xiaoxiao...her brows furrowed!
Why are they all so nice to Huang Xiaoxiao today? Can't they see that Miss Huang has "evil intentions" towards Mr. Xing?
Uncle Jiang felt the gaze coming from the opposite side. When he looked up, he met Yu Lan's dazed and confused expression.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her with eyes full of doting, and gave her a meaningful look.
Yu Lan looked at Uncle Jiang's gentle smile and meaningful eyes, and her heart could not help but ripple. She seemed to understand something, but she was not completely sure, and her heart was full of doubts and curiosity.
Huang Xiaoxiao sat there, enjoying Uncle Jiang's service, seemingly not noticing the subtle interaction between the two. She seemed to be only focused on tasting the food.
The whole restaurant was filled with a complex and subtle atmosphere, and everyone had different thoughts.
Aunt Lan was also preparing to serve soup to her eldest daughter. She stared at the man opposite for a while. Then, she turned to look at the smiling Meng Zixi, and then at the eldest daughter who was urging Huang Xiaoxiao to eat quickly.
Suddenly, Aunt Lan had a flash of inspiration and understood everything.
It's her fault. In the past few months, the eldest daughter has been the only one at home. It's not like before, when Jiang Wenyuan, Shen Lan, Jiang Yinyin and others were here playing "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Her brain is not as good as before!
The eldest lady, Meng Zixi, and Old Jiang are all shrewd people... How could they not see it?
It turns out they have other purposes!
She can do this question!
The confusion in Aunt Lan's eyes had disappeared. She looked at Huang Xiaoxiao, who was drinking her soup gracefully with her head down, and she already had her own little plan in mind.
After serving soup to the eldest lady, Aunt Lan also considerately took a bowl and filled half a bowl of rice for Huang Xiaoxiao.
"Ms. Huang, you can't just eat vegetables. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. You should eat more rice as well."
When Huang Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was so nice to her, a hint of doubt flashed across her black and white eyes, but when she saw that everyone's faces were sincere, she thought about it and finally smiled.
"Okay, thank you guys, and don't worry about me...just sit down and eat."
Aunt Lan and the others did not refuse and sat down to eat together naturally.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire small restaurant became very harmonious.
After lunch, Jiang Qianxun sat in the living room with Huang Xiaoxiao and Meng Zixi for a while.
Wen Aihua and the others went out to play on the weekend. An hour ago, they saw the news online and sent a message to ask about Jiang Qianxun's safety. She also said that he would probably be back very late, so the three girls didn't have any special plans and just found some random topics to chat.
At the end of the conversation, Jiang Qianxun felt sleepy and went upstairs to rest.
Coincidentally, Aunt Lan had just finished cleaning the studio, and the doctor that Meng Zixi had arranged had also arrived. Meng Zixi personally took the doctor into the studio opposite Jiang Qianxun and asked the doctor to treat Huang Xiaoxiao.
The doctor was still sent by Xing's Private Hospital, but he was no longer an outpatient doctor, but a specially appointed doctor of medicine.
The doctor walked into the studio and carefully diagnosed Huang Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she still had a bandage on her right wrist, he also kindly asked about Huang Xiaoxiao's mental state. After that, he started giving suggestions.
"Ms. Huang has suicidal tendencies. My personal suggestion is that in addition to treating her injuries, it would be best to seek medical attention from a psychiatrist.
The doctor didn't elaborate on what he was examining.
But those who were present understood.
Huang Xiaoxiao was sitting at the head of the bed looking at her cell phone, seemingly waiting for something. Suddenly, when she heard the doctor's words, she retracted her gaze, her pale lips moved slightly, and she forced a smile.
"No, I was just provoked by my parents, it's nothing."
Aunt Lan, who pushed the humidifier in, heard what the doctor said, came over with a kind face and smiled.
"Ms. Huang, don't blame me for being talkative. I'm used to worrying about other people's affairs, and I'm also a straightforward person. I can't help but say everything.
I think you should listen to the doctor's advice and go see the doctor. If there is anything wrong after the examination, you can get timely treatment. If there is nothing wrong, we can also buy peace of mind and be happy, don't you think?"
Meng Zixi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, our bodies belong to us, we must take good care of them, Xiaoxiao, why don't you listen to the doctor's advice and go for a visit? If you are afraid, I will go with you."
Huang Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Really, no need. I'm an adult, and I know my own body. As long as I stay away from my parents and don't have so much mental pressure, I'll be fine after a while. Thank you for your concern."
Seeing Huang Xiaoxiao say this, Meng Zixi and Aunt Lan looked at each other, but ultimately didn't say much.
At this time, the doctor had completed the examination and, according to the routine procedure, gave Huang Xiaoxiao an injection first and then prescribed some medicine.
Meng Zixi accompanied Huang Xiaoxiao attentively throughout the entire drip process, and Aunt Lan went back and forth between Huang Xiaoxiao's room and Jiang Qianxun's room, representing the eldest daughter to show her concern for Huang Xiaoxiao.
It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that the long intravenous drip process ended and the doctor collected the medical equipment and left.
Meng Zixi helped pour some water and watched Huang Xiaoxiao take the medicine before he went back to his room to work.
After Meng Zixi left, Aunt Lan just happened to come from Jiang Qianxun's room. Seeing that Huang Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep, she stood at the door, quietly looking at the young girl sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Huang Xiaoxiao has very beautiful facial features, a quiet temperament, and a good temper. She looks like a good wife and mother. She is indeed suitable to start a family in the eyes of the elders.
Looking at such a girl, Aunt Lan frowned, stood there thinking for a while, and finally closed the door gently and went to the first floor to find Lao Jiang.
At this time, on the first floor of the villa, after Uncle Jiang had cleaned up the dishes, he was preparing seafood ingredients for dinner in the glass room next to the kitchenette. Seeing his sweetheart coming over with a frown, he put down the dried abalone in his hand and asked with concern.
"Yulan, what's wrong? You've been frowning all day. Have you encountered something that you can't handle?"
As he spoke, he poured out a cup of the hot milk tea he had just made and handed it over.
Aunt Lan naturally took it, pulled a stool and sat opposite Lao Jiang, drinking milk tea while watching Lao Jiang work and sighing.
"I am alone, what can happen to me? It's all Miss Huang's business upstairs."
Auntie Lan pulled the stool closer and lowered her voice, "I understand why you are so nice to Miss Huang all of a sudden, but I am really worried that the eldest lady suddenly asked Miss Huang to live across the street.
Miss Huang doesn’t look as pretty as my eldest daughter, but she has a very good temper and is pretty, what if…”
What if? Aunt Lan didn’t say anything else, but those who understood understood.
Uncle Jiang's attention was on the woman opposite him. Seeing that she was so busy talking that she didn't even notice that there was milk tea on the corner of her mouth, he took out another tissue and wiped the corner of Aunt Lan's mouth before speaking.
"You're worried about this? If you knew that Huang Xiaoxiao's adoptive mother is Miss Jiang's idol Misha, wouldn't you be extremely anxious?"
"What? She is the adopted daughter of the master architect? Then she and Mr. Xing are a perfect match, right?"
Aunt Lan became even more anxious: "Then we can't let her live next door to the eldest lady. At first I thought the eldest lady had her own arrangements, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it's inappropriate.
So what should we do now? Can we let Miss Huang move to another place?"
Uncle Jiang was helpless: "Well, you can only persuade Miss Jiang."
Aunt Lan was anxious: "I can't persuade her. Don't think the eldest lady is easy to talk to. No one can change her decision, unless..."
When Aunt Lan said this, she suddenly looked towards Lao Jiang across from her.
Uncle Jiang saw this and immediately understood what the woman across from him meant. He was a little helpless and raised the dried abalone in his hand: "I have to pick this and make soup tonight."
Aunt Lan ignored it and just blinked at him.
Seeing the half-pleading, half-threatening look in the woman's eyes, Uncle Jiang didn't hold out for long before he gave in and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll make the call for you."
Auntie Lan then felt relieved and started drinking her milk tea: "Hurry up and fight!"
He said he was calling Mr. Xing, but Uncle Jiang looked at the time on his phone and realized that he would call Uncle Song first.
As soon as the call was connected, Uncle Jiang asked, "Old Song, is Mr. Xing in a meeting?"
On the other end of the phone, Uncle Song was sitting at his desk in the top-floor office, browsing the morning news about Jiang Qianxun and Huang Xiaoxiao on his computer. When he heard his good friend Lao Jiang calling him to ask about Mr. Xing and his tone sounded a bit serious, he paused while sliding the mouse.
"Sir, you are in a meeting. What's wrong? Did something happen to Director An again?"
Director An was almost assassinated in the hospital this morning. Will he get into trouble again after returning home? Are all the bodyguards in the hospital so lax recently?
Uncle Jiang comforted him: "Director An is sleeping at home, he is fine."
Uncle Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
However, just as he finished speaking, the words that came out of Uncle Jiang on the other end of the phone almost made him jump up from his seat.
"Miss Huang was taken back to the villa by Director An, and she lives opposite Director An."
"what?!"
Huang Xiaoxiao was taken home by Director An?
Uncle Song’s first reaction was that it was over!
He heard from Assistant Zhou that a few months ago, when Huang Xiaoxiao scalded her feet in the whole courtyard, Mr. Xing was caught by the old man to visit Huang Xiaoxiao, and a hair of Huang Xiaoxiao ended up getting on his body. Director An misunderstood Mr. Xing for more than a month, and the whole courtyard was alarmed.
Later, Mr. Xing developed a quirk: he would not allow any women to enter or leave his office unless it was necessary. There was also someone specifically responsible for cleaning the office every day, and not a single hair was allowed to be left behind.
Now, Director An directly brought the future granddaughter-in-law that Grandpa Xing had chosen home.
Although Director An and Huang Xiaoxiao have a good relationship, their previous friendship was limited to the company. This is the first time that someone has been brought home to live with them!
Especially since Huang Xiaoxiao's mother stabbed someone in the hospital this morning, and the whole world knows that Huang Xiaoxiao likes Mr. Xing and even committed suicide for love...
So subtle...
Uncle Song now has only one feeling: Mr. Xing is doomed!
Why hold a meeting at this time? No meeting is more important than your wife and children. The most important thing is to quickly find out the reason why Director An did this!
Uncle Song couldn't sit still anymore and asked Uncle Jiang: "Old Jiang! What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Uncle Jiang had no choice but to recount what happened today in detail.
Uncle Song listened to the conversation with a frown. After hanging up the phone, he was about to go to the meeting room to wait for someone when he looked up and saw Mr. Xing coming out.
OK! Now you don’t have to wait any longer!
Uncle Song thought about it and followed.
The man in a suit saw Uncle Song following him and asked him in a pleasant voice.
"what's up?"
Uncle Song took two steps forward attentively, helped to open the office door, and respectfully repeated in detail what Uncle Jiang had said.
The man's long legs paused when he stepped into the office. His brows were furrowed on his handsome face. The first thing he did was to open his mobile phone and check Qin Chuan's updates.
There was no big move, only a few photos of parties outside were released, and there were only men at the scene, no women.
